For people still using public transport in large cities, I recommend locking the zippers with small locking Karabiners against pickpocketing, like Nite IZE S-Biner Microlock

Great video! I wear glasses too. I would recommend a second pair of glasses with your current prescription as an emergency backup pair just in case you lose or damage the glasses that you are wearing.

Regarding 4:55, for those who are unfamiliar, that water spigot tool is the KNIPEX TwinKey Control Cabinet Key which is essentially a compact multi-headed wrench.

Lilly, there is one tool above all else that you could discuss. Your brain and attitude. Like a lot of schools and formal education, they teach subjects but not how to think. Maybe you could put together a video on problem solving basics. How to get down to the very basics of problems, priorities, planning. Not just the gear. Strategy for preparedness vs survival vs practice. A sudden bad experience may be seen as challenge, not overwhelming. Attitude.

This is really cool! When I was living with my family, my dad was the person who stocked our house with emergency supplies, but since I moved out for college I got an emergency pack from the dorms and then added extra essentials to it. For any emergency situation, I definitely recommend a small pack of cards - boredom can be extremely dangerous in long-term or wait-it-out survival situations. For myself, I also added extra thick gloves and socks because my extremities get cold easily, and extra OTC allergy medications do manage my allergies. Love to see how people customize their packs based on their own needs!

Lilly I love what you put in your bag. I would recommend adding a good lip balm too. If the weather is cold or you don't have enough fluid, lips can get painfully chapped and even split and bleed. Also, just a note for U.S. subscribers, it is illegal in many states, including Virginia my home state, to possess lock picking tools. If you are found with them in an illegal state, you can be arrested and charged. Each person needs to check with their state or decide if it's worth the risk to possess them. Blessings, Helen

Like you, I now live in the suburbs, but I actually go out to a rural town for work so my get home kit features more things that cover food, water, shelter and safety because if I need to get home on foot I might not be able to do it in one shot and I could need to sleep for a night. I've actually walked the route and explored a few alternatives and potential hole up points if I need to catch a nap on the way. Gloves seem to be an underrated thing, I've got a pair of Mechanix gloves, I've always had some since I wore them in Afghanistan and they do it for me, and a pair of merino wool liners that I can wear under them in the winter. I've watched your older bag videos and it's clear that you're adapting your kit to the possible threats you'll deal with. Keep up the good work and stay safe Lilly.

If you tap into a buildings exterior water spigot, always be sure to clear the line of stagnant water in the lines if you can do that undetected. It may not make a huge difference if the pipes are huge but it never hurts if it’s possible.

Great video! My wife thought prepping was just for guys, so I had her watch your video. Before COVID, she just thought I was a little paranoid; but, now, she doesn't say anything when I spend some money on a good urban bag and supplies! Thanks for convincing her that preparedness is not just for Boy Scouts...it's for Girl Scouts, too!!

[bob_mosavo]

For my Faraday cages, I wrap the electronic item in plastic to keep it from getting scratched, then wrap it in aluminum foil, and then put it in a heavy-duty ziplock bag. I take a straw and suck out the air from the ziplock bag to make a cheap vacuum bag. The cheap vacuum bag will protect and make sure the the aluminum foil doesn't get jostled around, which may create a gap in the foil.

[larrylezon]

Thanks for posting this video! Years of prepping and I never thought about the water faucet wrenches. It just goes to show that there's always something new to learn!

[themotivehunter]

Hello Lilly. Never forget your handy roll of VIP (very important paper). It can be used to start a fire or clean up after a bathroom stop....

[Lostinthesand]

I like reviewing, Lilly’s, videos after a few months. I refresh what the lesson was and report if I used her advice. On this “Urban” bag, it is a winner. Broke down a few miles from home. Walked with my light bag, home. It was nice not carrying a big bag. Everything was in it, if I needed it.

A survivor trick is survival vest and daypack

[davidshermanlittle]

You are amazing, in fact, I have never seen a person with so much stuff that might be needed one day.

[CaptainAiryca]

Very nice Lilly, I remember you did a video like this a while back and I added/changed a couple things to my bag from that video, and now I have a couple new ideas. Thank you! I think gloves are SO important. They're not as "fun" as a knife but so useful. I also switched to a smaller urban bag, so I have a woods bag and an urban bag and it ensures both bags are actually with me when I need them. there IS a balance of convenience of bringing your bag with you or not based on size and weight as you've said.

[markmueller]

Great video! The most important thing you can have is in your head and your hands. Knowledge, skills and situational awareness. No matter what you have, you need to be able to use it.

[rodneymiddleton]

G'Day Lilly nice little set up you have there. I would suggest you keep your Leatherman in the front pocket with your gloves instead of having to dig deep for it for quick access. Also your first aid packet keep at the very top of your pack and possibly incorporating a head lamp for hands free situations and some more snacks as you will be using a lot of energy walking home. Have a great day mate 😁😉

[jussee]

Good kit i suggested you add few tea light candles and metalic cup.

I am fortunate to work 12 rural miles from home, that is if I followed the roads versus cutting through pasture. If I cut through pasture cuts the distance in half
