Bare Minimum Get Home Bag For SHTF Survival

Bare Minimum Get Home Bag For SHTF Survival
What's the bare minimum you need for a get home bag in order to survive the journey through SHTF? What do you absolutely need to make it home?

Bug out bags, get home bags, INCH bags and other survival prepping kits of all sorts start with the bare essentials of survival. But what if you are new to prepping? Or you know someone who is and want to help them make a get home bag? What's the bare minimum you need for a get home bag in order to maintain your survival in an emergency while still making it back to your house safely? In this video I address what I feel is the bare minimum you should have for a get home bag. SHTF is a big unknown and you would not want to find yourself lacking in any particular department.

One thing I would take into account if walking is defense against chaffing. Gold Bond Friction Defense stick or a talcum powder. Getting chaffed between the thighs can become a serious mobility killer.

Good gloves are mandatory. Leather palm for handling hot stuff, cut/cold protection for working on your car, around broken glass, or just walking home in bad weather

I always suggest carrying an umbrella or a plastic bags you can use to keep your feet/socks dry in case of heavy rain or snow storm. An inexpensive plastic poncho is good as well.

Who doesn't love a good ol bag video??

Even prepping for many years, I always like to see other folks ideas for their get home bags

I fucken love this guys videos!
A lot of other channels show tactical bags an expensive gear and never even mention a spare change of clothes. He's right, its JUST A GET HOME BAG, its not a bug out bag. Extra clothes has saved my ass so many times. Once i was coming home from a wedding and my car broke down. I immediately changed into my spare clothes and walked into town to find phone service and a tow truck. Rather than walk around a strange town in a suit, i blended in with the local folks. The other time i shit myself at work (Dont judge it happens to everyone) and i grabbed my bag went into a porta potty and changed. Like nothing happend. Dude keep making videos like these. Love how everything is simple and not all tactical, sometimes you really just need to blend in with the locals.

My GHB... has a couple extras. Hot hands hand warmers to keep you warm on the move (small and light) and $50 in small bills. But other than that I think you hit the nail on the head!

I’ve had a get home bag for over a year cuz I work on the road, and it goes where I go no matter what

I really recommend including an ace wrap and role of athletic tape in your bag too. Very easy to twist an ankle or hurt a wrist in and emergency, or you could carry those smaller ace braces for those uses. Either way light weight and you and had room in your side pockets for them either way.

Not only do I have one for my truck but I made one for my wife's car as well. Same things in mine are in hers. Two is one motto

Great kit!
I live at altitude in Wyoming so I have a minimum of 2 extra jackets, hat, gloves, long underwear, and a balaclava in every vehicle.
But my get home bag looks similar to yours.
I would caution folks against putting your defensive tools in the bag.
They should be carried on your body.
But i realize some folks live in more restrictive states.

One thing that everybody should carry everyday is SKILLS. The best gear in the world will not get you out of a bind if you can't use it effectively.

[bravowhiskey]

Solid foundation, lots of room for improvement. There’s no one-size-fits-all here either. How far is it home, what area, what terrain, what season? There’s a lot of stuff in your list that you don’t need within a day’s (on foot) travel of home. But if it’s several, you will need.

I’m more in agreement with Bear on this concept: the bag is seasonal, and needs to be inspected & replenished with appropriate gear between hot seasons and cold ones, and vice-versa. So 2x annually minimum. Then you have multiple layers of gear, adding more the further you travel from home.

Thank you for the budget friendly get home bag. Just can’t spend anymore on prepping other then water. Looking for bags now at thrift stores. Great timing.

Another thing to add if available for space. SHOES. I use to work in an office and would always keep a decent pair of boots (winter) or walking shoes in my get home bag because nobody wants to be walking miles home in a pair of dress oxfords. I’m a contractor now where we drive company trucks to job sites, so my plan every day is wearing work appropriate attire that benefits my ability to walk home. (Eg: EDC capability, decent footwear, calories, and water.) then my get home bag is a redundancy or a supplemental list of things until I get to a resupply point (my truck or home).

Watching/ listening to your old videos is my favorite way to clean guns! Great work man

[tomcatt]

Only thing that i would change would B A much bigger water bottle, , , but i operate in Florida were in summer months U can drink over a gallon every day & still B thirsty, (also a good camo poncho)

[Blast]

I work on a military base and last week we had a pretend active shooter training. After watching this, I'll make a bug in bag for my work place. If we have to shelter in place.

[SavageVoyageur]

Don’t worry about tactical bag. Everyone has these now, and if others want stuff they will attack you to get your gear no matter what it looks like. Good video

[shakdown]

Great video featuring minimalist basics bag for the local get home needs. In addition to your EDC this is a realistic basic enhancement. Obtainable for everyday folks and expandable if needed. Thanks.
