When hubby and I worked the wildfires in south Georgia some years back we were assigned to offer water support to a tribe of native Americans from Oklahoma that performed manual ground fire suppression and they taught us to always carry an unscented dryer sheet when in the woods as it acts better than any bug repellent. They tucked it in the back of their cap and let it flap down their neck and upper back and boy it does the trick!!! I would add a dryer sheet to my get home bag for sure 😊 Great video Lilly!

A CBRN mask won't do you much good with many of the chemical agents; They are not just gases but mists and can penetrate your skin on contact with any contaminated surface.
Also, many chemical agents have very different coatings that are completely ineffective for other agents. You would need a test kit to classify exactly what the hazard was. (simple example, ammonia is very different than chlorine and they are both very different for organic solvents).
For B (biological) any N95 or better mask would work fine. The same for RN (radiological, nuclear) as it is primarily dusts from fallout that you would want to keep out of your lungs.

The cartridge may only have an operational life of 8-24 hours before it is saturated. I had to wear one while doing exposure testing for a benzine spill (with a Drager hand pump and glass indicator tube) and the levels were so high that I was 'tasting' benzine after 5 minutes of exposure. I quickly ran out of that area and the only work we did in that environment after that was while wearing a full suit with an airline supplying positive pressure air to the entire suit. The Drager sampler was supposed to be something like 10 or 20 pumps to get enough atmosphere inside so the tube would change color a certain distance along the glass tube. It went full dark after 3 pumps so he levels were beyond our ability to measure.

We are all making alternate plans, stocking up etc. Ty Lilly!

I bought rural remote old hse government medical dispensary here in Ireland 1yr ago. Literally middle of nowhere with acre of forest included around it. Concrete build, electric, water, sewerage etc all connected. The pinnacle is as it was dispensary it has a safe room, steel reinforced door and barred window. I paid 60k euro folks, , sweet.

Lilly is the most competent woman I have ever met: she is definitely on the A Team when the zombie apocalypse begins...

[cammoguy]

The only thing I would add is an extra pair of wool socks. Oh, and a big bag of Doritos. LOL!

[armandogonzales]

Pack a slingshot with steel or lead ball for ammo.

[stephen]

Only thing I’d add is an immediate food item (eg, packet of nuts, cereal bars, etc.)

[austinbratton]

Nice gear!! I got a similar solar panel that is 28 watts. In about 7 mins just from sunlight alone my phone battery went up 4%. I was impressed.

[Klingon]

I'd love to see you demonstrate how you would use the gear in this bag, maybe do a hike and an overnighter in a mock emergency to get home?

[michaelschweimler]

Good bag, but socks and a beanie should still fit into.
It is a little different from mine .
But mine doubles as a bug out bag..
If a gasmask is necessary is everybodys personal decision.
For me it is to heavy on electronics.
I also have a pair of good small binoculars but I keep no electronic divices in my bag, just a powerbank, headlamp and I rather have extra socks, long wool underwear, a emergency bivy and a couple tools like a big screwdriver, channellock pliers etc. .
I do have masks, radios etc but those stay home and go with some other items into an extra bag for the bug out case.
Two 'EPA' meals plus a couple bars emergency food and instant coffee plus sugar, included is also a small esbit stove.
About 3000 calories total.
I do carry some very basic hygiene stuff, like a toothbrush, soap and a small comb also some.insect repellent and, most important:
spare glases.
Some cash is recommend and like you I still keep some space in the pack to ad a lethal and/or a non lethal device.

Thank you Lilly. Love to see people being aware and prepared ❤

[JohnLamp-gd]

A proper utility axe will always come in handy!

[OhashiOutdoors]

Great video, Lilly! You’ve put a lot of thought into the items you keep in your ruck. It’s always fun watching bug out bag videos from people with your thoughtfulness, skills, and experience. Thank you for sharing 🙇🏻

If you are preparing for an ABC accident, you should consider more protection equipment, like an ABC blanket (check the SBU-67 Schutzumhang), strong plastic bags & tape for your feet, vinyl gloves, and of course extra water (only a few water filters on the market can handle radioactive or chemical contamination). A few analog dosimeters (Stabdosimeter FH39 from the Bundeswehr for example) will be more appropriate than the Geiger counter, since they don't require any energy supply, are EMP proof and will allow you to estimate the overall radiation dosis going into your body. Knowing this will be very helpfull once you get medical assistance. Dosimeters belong to the standard issue in the nuclear industry and the military.

This is one of the best videos I've found on the subject. Great job, Lily!

[johnleclair]

My bug out is similar. Only differences, I also have a portable HF transceiver KX3, goretex bivvy sack and Gen3 night vision monocular. Please always carry your gas mask in its own protective case and preferably mount it on your leg or at the very least at the top of your ruck for easy use. As a Marine, if I had carried my gas mask outside on my ruck - I would have been crucified. I like the idea of a Geiger counter. I need to add one and some potassium iodide tables. Thanks for the videos.

[talljohn]

Always love your videos Lily! Thank you for your time and effort.

I don’t care where you are in the world but the first thing to think about is defense, it’s great being prepared with kits and SHTF bags and gears but it’s not enough these days. Ten to fifteen years ago we were pure prepared individuals learning and sharing kits and gears but reality is harsher than we realized. It used to be get home safely with survival gears but now it’s get home in one piece. Shelter, first aid, food and water were the simple ideas. Muscle memory on defense is key to today’s survival strategy, not everyone can carry a gun which is understandable, but overlooking the alternative could be fatal in situations that can arise. Wild animals and neglected dogs are dangers that shouldn’t be overlooked, best way to deal with them is pepper spray or make your own with pepper extract and alcohol or vinegar.

Thanks Lilly an excellent video! The only thing I would add would be a sprit burner such as a Trangia or similar and a small bottle of methylated spirits.
