Sillcock key is one must have thing no matter where you are located city or country side

[maddog]

Did some E&E training in the military. Got chased by Pathfinders and dogs for three days. The best item I had were clear safety glasses and spare socks. The thorn bushes were everywhere. My clothes were in shreds. I looked like I got in a fight with a bobcat. But my eyes were good. Never underestimate foot care. You could do a vid just on foot care (socks, mole skin, foot powder etc...)

I'm Rozainah from Malaysia. I would love to remind the ladies Preppers to include sanitary pad, panty liners and disposable underwear in Bug Out Bag. Some pain killer for those who have period pain problem.

Stay safe💕🌷

I keep two or three large black contractor bags folded up in my pack.
They're very thick and can be used for many uses such as an emergency shelter, a mattress filled with leaves and even used as a waterproof sleeping bag.

I been a Marine for a long time, lived in holes & trucks in the field for many months at a time. This is a good list of things that ppl usually miss. Personally, I would also tell ppl to completely drop the Toilet Paper all together & only carry baby wipes. They are good for field showers and also the number 2s. A small pack will last a long time as well. It took me a long time to make that switch and its been pretty great. Also, keep it LIGHT and dont forget your map.

One thing I have in mine is a small inflatable pillow, It makes a good cushion at a camp and is rather important for a goodnight's sleep. Waking up in the morning with a neck ache so bad that it hurts to move your head will really screw up your day.

[CopBlockHotSprings]

If you listen to refugees who had to pick up and leave everything at a moments notice, the one thing most needed was extra shoes. Can be money too.

[Dang_Near_Fed_Up]

As for your socks, avoid cotton tube socks. Cotton tube socks are hot, hold water / sweat, and take a long time to dry. They basically turn the inside of your boots around your feet into a swamp. Instead use some kind of sports socks that are made of wicking material, like cycling socks made from merino wool. Merino wool socks will help keep your feet dry longer when walking, by wicking away sweat. They also dry extremely fast, and can be washed using a minimum of water as opposed to thicker socks. The wicking material also helps with odor by keeping your feet dry, and the better socks also come with a anti-microbial material for this purpose as well. They also hold up surprising well for something so thin. I prefer Darn Tough brand, their socks are so durable the company actually sells them with a lifetime replacement guarantee. Merino wool socks are not cheap, but are so worth it. One other thing, these socks are very thin about the thickness of dress socks, and can be packed in a much smaller amount of space. You can probably pack 6 to 8 pair of merinos in the space of a single pair of cotton tube socks.

The sillcock key is a GREAT idea! Also, there are waterproof notepads for sale on Amazon for VERY cheap. They sell all weather pens too but I figure to just use a pencil. Lol

[wtywatoad]

Perhaps I should get a pack mule to carry ALL my bug out supplies

[zackwilliams]

The silcock key is an excellent thought, and I see it mentioned in several videos. However, I have yet to come across a water spigot that I couldn’t simply turn with my Leatherman pliers, which I already carry anyway. Just a thought that might save some weight.

[shashakeeleh]

Had them all except the Sillcock. Thanks Penny, I love ya!

[livininamerica]

I have my socks and extra clothing vacuum sealed. Saved a ton of room in my bag

[lesliepaulkovacs]

Keep in mind, if you need to Bug Out, you might end up in a Emergency Shelter Camp for a few days. Having spare clothes, hygiene products and something to read may be useful if all you are getting is a Cot and a Granola bar.

[gonefishing]

Here are some lightweight things that would be useful if leaving a wrecked urban or suburban area on foot:
1 Nighttime eye protection (clear safety glasses or goggles) because an eye injury from walking into low-hanging tree branches will take you out of action, 2) washable cloth face mask to help filter dust, smoke and asbestos particles (earthquake damage, explosions and burning buildings can produce a lot of air pollution), 3) a pack of birthday cake candles for fire lighting in damp weather, 4) at least one large lawn trash bag to turn into a poncho or tent or ground cloth during wet weather, 5) headlamp with red lens + extra batteries for it so you can avoid obstacles at night without attracting a lot of attention, 6) pack of Moleskin patches to cover a hot spot on your foot before it turns into a blister, 7) small folding pruning saw for quietly gathering green saplings and dead branches for building shelters or camp fires, 7) a foldable cloth hat with brim and chinstrap that can fit into a pocket, 8) thin quilted vest to add a layer of insulation but that will not take up much space folded in a backpack, 10) a pocket size AM/FM radio with ear buds that you can wear under your shirt or jacket while walking or sitting + extra batteries for it, 11) either a detailed terrain map or a realtor's map (depending upon how rural or built-up your area is) of the surrounding 10 square miles of your area and kept in a water-resistant map case, 12) bottle of water purification tablets, 13) a bottle of Gatorade with the sipping cap (to re-fill from an outside water spigot or drinking fountain), 14) four individually wrapped energy bars or breakfast bars and 15) four $20 bills dispersed about your person (always put one beneath the innersole of a shoe).

Amazingly I have 9 out of 11 things you listed already in my bag, Guess it's time time to buy a sillcock

[TehOldGamer]

Regarding glasses: I keep my bag in my trunk. Every couple of months I take it out to check the food and recharge stuff. I have a pair of old glasses in there and I tried them on. The plastic frame had warped in the heat to the point where they wouldn't stay on my face.

My Father when in The Air Force in a Special Op unit that was Assigned to a Top Secret Base in Louisiana that Guarded both Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs. After the United States basically went to an all missile system the Bombs were Loaded onto B-52 Bombers and Flown to this Base.
The Men that Guarded These Bombers During the Vietnam Era used some of the most
Absolute Largest German Shepherds you Have EVER SEEN.
When The Men Dropped the Safety Tether on the Leash What ever was in Front of the Dog DIED.
Only Groom Lake AFB had tighter Security
( AKA Area 51 ).
Well whenever Electrical Storms or thunderstorms were to come through The Men Had to Lock the Dogs up because they could not be trusted as they became Fearful of the Lighting.
Well After one such event and at the end of the Watch The Captain Drove the Truck to relieve the Watches.
There was one Guy that when they ride up to Him My Dad Said Looked like Something out of a Horror Movie.
Every Inch of His Skin including His Entire Face and Neck was Covered With Mosquitoes.
My Dad said they were 1/4 inches Thick and the Guy was gurgling.
The Captain and My Dad took Gloves and Brushed and Scraped the Mosquitoes off.
They were even on His Eyes.
Everything was Swollen.
Dad said He spent Months in the Hospital and Mentally He was Never the same again.
So even though it may seem like Bug repellent might be a Luxury Item.
It's Not, And if Bad enough in the Bush you WILL eventually run out, So remember to use Pine Needles and Break them and pulverized them and smear the Juices all over your clothing as well as your Hat to keep flying Critters off of you.
It's also not a bad idea to start a Small fire and get some green needles smoking and put it in and around your your Tent, Shelter or Camp Site.
Sorry I'm so long winded but This is and Can be a very Serious Problem if not Addressed.

[JacobEsotericResearch]

I was homeless for awhile, socks are a very very important item to have an extra pair or two, especially in the winter, and yes hygein products as well, very important, and bug spray if your in the woods

[southernboyprepper]

What a great video. My bag contains those items. Stay safe and well
