Nice set up . Add a good knife some instant oatmeal and a rain poncho.

I felt this wonderful feeling in my mind, body and soul when she said “I prefer kislux

Good video. Well done overall. But I do have some comments (definitely NOT criticisms, just some comments after watching more GHB/BOB videos than I can remember😁)

Toilet paper...I keep 1 roll in my GHB and 2 rolls in my BOB. They all have the inner roll removed, are flattened, then put into a vacuum-sealed bag (if you don't have a vacuum sealer, get one...they are awesome). The vacuum-sealed bags help to keep them flat (easier to store) and waterproof. To go with that, keep a large resealable bag (Ziploc) in the pack. If you ever need to open the vacuum-sealed bag, you'll need a way to keep the toilet paper dry and in a closed bag.

Also, put socks and underwear into vacuum-seal bags for the same reason. If your bag gets wet and the stuff on the inside gets wet, you don't want to have to put on wet socks or underwear if you need to change them. Also, wet toilet paper is obviously of no use.

But even with that, buy a rain cover for the backpack. Most decent backpacks keep the rain out, but they're not 100% waterproof. A rain cover will keep the rain out. I also keep a military style poncho in my packs. They're large enough that I can put it on over my pack and keep both me and my pack dry. But the rain cover for the pack is just another layer of protection from the elements.

As well, get rid of the alkaline batteries and go with lithium-ion. Lithium-ion batteries rarely leak, plus they're rechargeable. That way, you don't have to keep trying to replace the batteries. Just keep freshly-charged batteries on hand and you're good to go.

All that said, you are more well-prepared than a lot of people. Keep up the awesome work.

I have a very comprehensive edc but I’m just beginning to get my get home bag sorted, so thank you.

Great set up. Refreshing to see young women taking and interest in preparedness these days.

[leonardwilcox]

Love it, the way things are going you may need it.

Love watching a very honest presentation of get home gear. The survival tin "random crap"...I Love That because it is so honest. And the brushing teeth obsession shows as you have such a beautiful smile. Keep up the good work and we are praying you and your family weathered Lee without any major problems. Its not always about being tactical...just practical!

[malisajohnson]

I would add a pocket knife. I know you carrie your knife but just in case as a backup. Maybe some sunblock. Or extra jacket to go with your wool hat and winter gloves. Other wise your set😊

Very practical video. Thanks from Australia.

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

[jannelytina]

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

After getting my daughters get home bag all finished up I decide to lay down and check out some YouTube vids. This was recommended! Great video, timing was ironic.
You are extremely beautiful, love the accent, I think I fell in love the first min! No creep.

Hey, a fellow Liam here! Great kit there. I’d consider integrating your kids into your system. As you have a fair bit of stuff, they could have a few small packs and they should have their own coats, hats, water etc. The Grayl Geopress is worth considering. Anyway, I like how natural you are in your videos too :) Keep the content coming!

[davidwoodsoutdoors]

I have to upgrade/winterize my kit! Seasons change and hand warmer season is coming soon. Great Info Thanks

Howdy neighbor it's Tony it's been awhile since I have left any comments I'm not one for doing that but with your get home bag you need to try to find if you get an inflatable or collapsible bowl for whiskey a package or two of oatmeal you forgot spoon and a fork also you should take the batteries out of everything I have found just in case the battery explodes or something it doesn't mess up the item what I do I keep the item and the batteries in a baggie I also put a couple of coffee filters to purify the water before I use my straw this way I don't suck any doo doo into the straw sweetie take care of yourself and everybody as usual and it's always enjoyable watching you take care may God bless you and be safe

[walksridges]

Great video! Your approach is honest and refreshing. Keep up the great work. Love Maine. My wife has family in South Thomaston, so we try to get up there every year.

This is a great kit!! I do have some suggestions if you would be open to it! :P

1. You can use a Platypus instead of the Smart Bottle to save space.
2. You can take out some of the storm matches and put them in tiny ziplocs to save on bulk.
3. Instead of the waterproof cover for the bag, bring those black drum liner bags. So not only can it protect your bag from water but you can also use it for many other uses, including shelter.
4. Bring 1-2 more flashlights. But tinier ones. Just in case you lose the headlamp.
5. I read someone in the comments saying to switch to Lithium batteries. Nah, you’re doing it right. Stick with AA or AAAs since those are the most common everywhere. Also bring more. What’s nice about those is that they save you time. You will not have time to wait for something to charge. You need to pop in and fast.
6. Bring more ductape for this kit. I normally am ultralight with stuff but I realized that in a situation like this, best to bring more ducttape, it can be used to stitch shelter together.
7. Bring more spare batteries.

Love your thinking and glad you’re preparing. Don’t know what part of the country you live in but now practice using your bag. You’ll find yourself making lots of adjustments and always practice in a safe way but practice somehow. Oh and most important pray and go to church regularly, GOD loves you and will watch over HIS own. God bless and take care👍🏻

[ajarrell]

How much fun to watch you. Charming and sensible. Subbed

En el momento en que vi el bolso kislux, supe que tenía que tenerlo.
