Показать описание
Contents layout of my 72 hour Bug Out/ Get Home/ SHTF bag. Possible scenarios (for Okinawa, Japan) would definitely include earthquake, tsunami, super typhoon aftermath. Unfortunately, my residence is in the middle of a posted tsunami danger zone.
After critiquing my own video, I added several items that I had on hand::
Spare lithium AAA batteries,
Eye Pro, ESS Ballistic Goggles
Second Flashlight, Garrity
Blade Sharpener,
Instant Coffee.
I also went ahead and added my tried and true Leatherman.
edit: Swapped the Leatherman for my Gerber which has scissors, dropped the big scissors.
Items I want to add ASAP:
Eton Hand-cranked Radio/Flashlight with USB charger
Fishing Kit
SAS Survival Guide (or equivalent)
Write-in-the Rain Notepad/Pen
AAA USB Battery Charger
edit: added the notepad, fishing kit, and monocular.

S.O.C Bug Out Bag $50.00
Gerber Gator Machete $16.00
Shoes $14.00 on clearence (very comfortable)

Thanks, at some point I figured that out after I had to go rifling through the bag looking for them!

I really like your pack. A pair of socks inside your shoes would be a great addition.

weighs 245 grams and rated to cut 5mm steel or 12mm copper. Marketed as "piano wire cutters"

Good video. My comments were written in order with your presentation. You will need to hide the machete and knife in your bags. You cannot walk around with those exposed unless you want to be detained by the Japanese National Police. I would store all your items in a waterproof bag. It will be too late to have to stop your movement when it starts raining to then repack your bag to protect it from water. You should upgrade your water filter to a Sawyer. You get more gallons per filter than the Frontier Pro. You should get a water bladder system like a Camelbak. Maybe even two. One to use for unfiltered/purified water gathering and one for easy access while moving. Bottles may not hold up too well. Definitely agree with the upgrade to the gerber multitool, more sturdy. Upgrade your scissors to medical scissors. You can pick them up at any 100 Yen shop now. Bug spray or DEET with sunscreen is a must. You also need a good cap or boonie hat to protect from sunburns. Recommend sharpening your E-Tool (digs better). It rains allot in Oki, do you have a poncho? You will need more toilet paper. Another option is to use compressed towels (also sold at 100 yen stores). What material are your changes of clothes? Avoid cotton. Use wool socks. Quick dry clothes or moisture wicking. Count up the calories for your rations. You may want to pack more food. You can cut weight and keep your stomach from getting upset if you use lightweight and low cost alternatives like Idahoan mashed potato packs, Knorr flavored pasta or rice packs, Single serving SPAM or tuna packs, etc. You will want more than the standard 2000-2500 kcal per day. I expect that you will have to hike pretty far up tough inclines. You will burn allot of calories. My comments are not criticizing, just based upon experience in Japan. I understand that each bag is different with each person's needs.
