Nice setup. Go use it now. Start with a car camping trip. Then short hiking trips. You’ll get rid of half of that stuff. That bag is not made to carry that weight. Good luck on your adventures. Time in the field is priceless

[yearofthegarden]

I really like your run down and organization, 40+lb is intense, I'd suggest stream lining what you have, mainly in the tool section. You need one knife and a multi tool for most anything, get a flat bar instead of that cat's claw, no reason to take the steel bond worth the weight, that huge knife/saw is cool but you could get away with a simple folding saw and a Terävä Jääkäripuukko from varusteleka which fits in the Mora plastic sheath perfectly. Ditch the box cutters, two knives max, and that maxpedition pouch weighs a lot, i stripped the molle off the back of mine, or just don't bring it since it really is just a place holder for carabiner and knives, which need little more than a ziplock bag. Ditch the dudeshowers and go towels, swap that 2oz bottle of dishsoap for broners to do both cleaning pans and washing yourself, and two bandanas, it will all outlast disposable items if you are truly designing this for "never coming home" and the packaging weighs something when you add it up, I bet you could add a portable "sink" folding bowl for the weight of all your disposable sanitary items. Also focusing on a all AAA system for flashlights with a rechargeable bay that will allow you to go longer, because when that headlamp's battery craps out on a long enough timeline, the headlamp is done, but if you have removable batteries, the headlamp will go until it's damaged in other ways. You carry the weight of disposable batteries already, might as well upgrade them to rechargable.

Beyond those items, the way to reduce weight in your pack is by trimming everything, eliminating excess packaging, trim down those guide books to save 1/4 pound, and last, finding alternatives to what you own and slowly replace with what is most cost beneficial to spend money to swap out, but honestly your kit is pretty dialed in otherwise and don't need to add to much more, I'd just consider looking at your heaviest items to identify their purpose and try to find alternatives to the task or overall importance of the task considering the weight of the item. Sleeping bag and pad could be a large source of your weight, I wouldnt go with anything above 25ounces for the sleeping bag, and 16 ounces for the sleeping pad, there are cheap options for less than $50. Less is more.

my kit without food or water is about 10lbs that can go down to 20F, I have everything you do, but my tool selection, tarp, sleeping gear and cooking kit are far lighter, I have a bonzai tree saw, a varusteleka knife for batoning, a diy aluminum bow saw 15", a modified drywall hammer as my prybar/tomahawk. My cook kit is a titanium 550mug and titanium Vargo 900ml Bot as my water/cooking. my tarp is DIY of silnylon for 12ounces, and my sleeping bag is DIY with climashield insulation, super easy to make, my sleeping pad is 12ounces of foam, because I don't trust inflatables on a long enough timeline.

I enjoy the kit viewing, I'm obsessed with mine, the challenge of making it and how well it has stream lined my life as an every day access thing. It's a fun journey of a hobby I always suggest to people to try.

I like the redundancies. A lot of people would say "hey bro carry less weight". But, he is an experienced backpacker and if you're willing to carry the extra weight it's always a benefit to have more food, more shelter items, or even a bigger solar panel to charge the electronics.

[sissydreams]

Thru-hikers often get their pack weights under 10 lbs (without food, water & stove fuel). Their kits are sufficient to help them survive on treks over 2000+ miles. My kit follows those lines, with a few urban specific items thrown in. In my opinion (which is no better than any other person's opinion), a lot of the gear you are carrying is over-kill for unlikely scenarios. You also have lots of redundancies, which adds up to lots of weight (e.g., lots of knives/tools, lights, electronics). It's impossible to move stealthily and quickly with a 45 lb pack. You're just a target. "Hey, look at that guy with the big, heavy pack! He's got stuff!!!" You've clearly spent a lot of time and effort thinking of what YOU need. However, I believe that you can streamline this kit into something more manageable that still fits YOUR needs.

First I must say I am sorry if what I say seems negative. I'm just trying to be honest. So for a start where do you know where to bug out to ❓You don't know which city would have been hit with a nuclear bomb, what payload it has, and most importantly which way the wind will be blowing. So you don't know where the fallout is at its highest❗️You're just going to wander off to the woods, I don't think so.If you're caught within a 20 mile radius of ground Zero, anything plastic will melt and anything electrical will simply be fried. EMP's spreading over a much larger area than a 20 mile radius❗️The heat given off being hotter than the surface of the Sun❗️And good luck with chilling out at night. "If" you manage to avoid all that deadly fallout, you will have witnessed billions of people dying in unimaginable horror, corpses will be everywhere. So I know personally I wouldn't feel very chilled. I think you, like most people think this will be like some camping expedition❗️It wont. For a start, If you're under 60 you will be immediately expected to join the military, men will not be allowed to go anywhere. Conscription becoming immediately mandatory. As seen in Ukraine only two weeks ago. All these things you need to consider and really think what you will do, as right now it seems like you feel like you're going on a jolly trip. War is unimaginable horror, in WW2 the Polish Soldiers who took Monte Casino couldn't eat meat for over 8 weeks, due to the stench of rotting corpses, their mouths would simply salivate uncontrollably, so they had to live on biscuits.They weren't feeling very "chilled out " either. So in my opinion, the best prep is to SAY NO TO ANY WAR ❗️Stay Safe & Good Luck ☮️

During SHTF it doesn’t matter how your backpack looks, everyone with a backpack will be a potential target!

[Rule-of-Threes-Survival]

That Orange bag in the rear net will make you a moving trackable target, if your INCHin, you wont be wearing shorts. Your legs will need constant protection while your static or moving. Add boot bands to prevent ticks from crawling up your ankles ( and a pack of dryer sheets ).

[Swift_Water]

I would add a silky saw, foldable or fixed blade. I would add a long spoon instead of the short one, and you need a signaling kit too. Next thing is to field test. Would love to see that video.

[SmackShot]

Nice bag set up! And a really big THANK YOU!!! for having everything laid out while going over the contents. Its so painful to watch a video about bag contents while watching each and every item being pulled out of each compartment one item at a time. This saves time for people like myself who just want to get some ideas on what we can do and or put in our You. Once again nice set up!

[practicalguy]

Tip from me. It's not necessary but I carry 5 multi vitamin tablets for men, they take no space at all and popping one every day or two is good if not eating full meals. If you're really on the move in a bad situation especially in the winter, the vitamin C mainly and other vitamins can help fend off viruses and sickness and also keep your daily diet closer to normal and body functioning at top performance if only eating the noodles for a meal for example. Men's multi vitamins are important if getting any since men can not have a lot of extra iron as it can make you sick.

[rxpusher]

I have seen a lot of bags and think this video is one of the better ones due to how specific it is to your region, the fact that you have thought about evacuation routes, choice of real world items and very grey man in orientation. I believe these bags should always be evolving. Two thought I would suggest you consider. 1. Consider hardening your electronics against EMP. It appears you live in S CA and have a long term bag. Earth quakes and civil unrest are probably your largest threat but that area is a strategic target and EMP is a possible SHTF. 2. Preposition items along your route. Food in a bear value buried in the sand in these very difficult to access evac routes or other items may be a reasonable idea. Rotate perishable items and before they go bad to homeless along your evac route and in SHTF, they see you they may remember your kindness and be a potential resource during bad times and your out a couple $ in food every couple months. Plus it allows you to monitor and grow in knowledge of evac routes. I like that your video didn’t start with this is my big out arsenal even thought I think self defense it an extremely important consideration in SHTF. Financial resources is an exceptional consideration that often gets over looked and is very important in high density areas. I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.

Fractional silver may be better than gold, as it's easier to trade because it's not worth as much so there's more options to buy more common things with

[manlystranger]

This a great video featuring a very well organized kit and thought process. I really like how you detailed the calorie count and explained the math to show a solid 7 days of survival for one person. My guess is you are storing this bag in your car trunk in the event you have to evacuate your home. If so, I would urge you to add at least one more backpack, smaller than the current pack with the thinking that in an apocolypse moment, you will most likely not bug out by yourself. Your sense of responsibility for the welfare of others will almost assurdly force you to bring along 1 - 3 additional people as the average car seats 4 adults and what if a family member or a child is with or near you when the crisis strikes. If you do end up with others, they will most likely not be prepared, at all. The extra backpack should be packed with mostly food, as many calories as it can hold. Total weight will most likely be less than your big bag because you will immediately disconnect the smaller pack and someone of lesser strength with you will carry it. I would also add some form of utility belt with detachable pouches so you can redistribute the weight if you have hike or so someone else in your party can carry some weight. The gold is a great idea, but even the small coins will have more purchasing power than may be easily taken in trade with change given, so add a money belt which you can wear under your shirt with 1 pound of 1oz silver coins (16 coins) to facilitate easy trade for necessities. If you always keep a case or 2 of bottled water with the bug out bag, maybe a way to strap as much water as possible in bottles to 4 people.

[thangtrinh]

Here is some of my suggestion: Add a foldable backpack to your bag, it's very small (just a little bit bigger than your hand) and you can use it as an opportunity bag, grab stuffs with it while leaving your main bag at your camp. Or you can take some up stuffs from your main bag and put it inside the foldable backpack and give it to someone you want to help etc ... use your imagination.
If you ever find yourself in a survival situation and you don't have enough food for a proper meal then *do not eat anything at all !* . I have tried 3 days fasting with absolutely no food (only drinking pure water), no calories take in whatsoever and I was fine as hell (Note that I am used to eat only one meal a day so my body is kinda used to keto lol). Here is my experience, 3 days without food is easy (for me), 3 days with little food is hell difficultly ! Your body will get used to your new condition with no food and the hunger feeling will go away, but if you eat anything then good luck lol, the suffering and hunger feeling will be overwhelmed.

[Alessandro-tfxh]

For the food module i suggest you to add more honey and more soy sauce, plus some sugar(general use), some bullion to add to the oats to make a really good meal and if you like them a couple of tuna or spam pouches (really small, thin, tasty and they have a lot of calories). For the water i suggest you to include the sawyer mini siringe to clean it up and keep him functional

2:00 Trezor cold wallet is nailing that all!

[bernarddesouza]

Hi There The best advice I have ever heard, if you don't take it, then its already lite weight gear . This of course is balanced with the need to survive . Thus you will never be able to be super lite . If you want to drop some, weight I would drop some of the electronic gear and may be use only one torch, also only one towel, and two pairs of socks. Instead of the big knife with the saw and the pry bar use a light weight tomahawk. The Vikings used this tool with great efficacy. If you are considering this as an urban bug out bag, I would ditch the poncho for a decent light weight shell. I would also ditch the tent for a tarp, considering this is for a SHTF scenario, a tent, even well concealed makes you a target. You can roll yourself into a burrito with a tarp and draw far less attention to yourself. We have all seen the nature of humans when it comes to these situations

Most Important Thing Is Missing In Almost All Bug Out/Go Bags...








BIBLE.

[veteranpatriot]

There are only a few items that you carry that I would, But Don't take that as an insult as I lived in San Diego for a Year many years ago and for that region Your To Go Bag is Absolutely PERFECT. Like I said being that I live in a region where temperatures can be near 100 in the summer and 0 in the winter not to mention Weapons are Needed for protection from Wildlife in the Mountains and Lowlifes in the cities.
I am very impressed with your Food Selections ( I know Ramen Noodles aren't the most Nutritional things in this world ) But The Oats and Fruit will treat your Body well along with the nuts. Remember, There is no such this as a " PERFECT Bug out Bag ", However there is the PERFECT Bug out Bag for Yourself and your region. Well Done.

[forbidden_jutsu]

Good bag, i would add compact 1000V insulated high leverage diagonal cutter.
