1. good God man…basic?

2. I think this is great advice. Thanks

3. Not looking tactical actually is tactical.

4. Good! Add a little food, tp, copies of important documents, cash and a bandana.

5. What about food?

6. @ time 8.43 minutes someone throwing paper wads at you? Lol. Good video btw.

7. According to a profesor, out of Wisconsin. Pink Bismuth is better than pepto type products. some of these types of products may damage or kill tissue.

8. i dont know about the ust fire starter comment … im wondering if you got a knock off brand that looks simalier

9. U forgot a couple of condoms. they come in handy…

10. Toilet paper, aka White Gold.

11. +1 sub

12. IOWA!

13. Alaska bugs are EXTREMELY prevalent in the summer time FYI. Arguably more so than many other states. Bug dope bug dope bug dope.

14. What is the best cheap poncho to buy from local stores

15. Caffeine…how about Jolt gum? Its caffeine, and its something a little sweet to suck on/chew.

16. Good Bag, keep doing what you doing! 👍

17. I like the warning you gave about the clotting agents. I don't think many people realize how much of a headache they can cause when used for the wrong type of wound. They really should only be used for non compressible arterial bleeding. Something that can't be stopped with a tourniquet due to the location of the wound. Every spec of the clotting agent has to be removed before the surgeon can repair the damage. They really are a last resort option.

    Great vid, Country. Thanks for posting.

18. Good video nice choice of gear thanks for sharing always learning

19. If your bag gets soaked, many of the items may become useless. It would help to have things like electronic and paper items in sealed plastic bags for protection. My advice is to use double bag system for added protection.

20. Where can u find a good state map

21. a cheap zippo works good and if ur a smoker ull always have it on you. the 55 gal. bags can also be used as a flotation device in a last ditch effort.

22. so happy I quit caffeine!!!

23. I would include some form of food and/or fishing line and hooks, plus some kind of metal container for boiling water.

24. Nice basic kit, just a few things I missed:1. An emergency sleeping bag, or space blanket. If 'god forbid' you end up staying the night outside, you may as well have something somewhat warm to sleep in (can be used in conjunction with the hand warmer)2. Some small metal cup or can or pot (billypot/can or military cup), just in case you do need to boil something or warm up some water just for comfort (tea or bouillon).3. Some deodorant, in case you do end up in some shelter, everybody around you will be happy you thought of it…4. Maybe… a quick dry camping towel, just in case you are able to wash yourself in a shelter or otherwise.5. lastly in the protection category, perhaps some mouth covers for dust, and with that some small ear plugs (to keep out the noise in any shelter to get some sleep and keep your head away from all the chaos)But otherwise great kit: has basic shelter (incl. clothing), water, fire, first aid, navigation/signalling and radio (information), with some additions you'd be able to sleep outside, and have all 'protection' (eyes, ears, mouth, extremities) covered.

25. Good video man .

26. Thank you for saying socks! my one big complaint of most bugout/whatever bag is no one says anything about extra socks

27. Good bag, you've got your bases covered.

28. Great video man…. all of the bug out bags in my house for my family are designed around both natural disaster and SHTF bug out scenarios you brought up some great points man most of the stuff I bought isn't of a tactical nature and most of it came from Walmart

29. Very good basic kit .. well thought out. I like the use of the "pencil bag" for organization. Nice.

30. Great beginner kit, and your totally right about the water and FIRST-AID!!

31. Good Basics CP, thanks for sharing.

32. Another awesome video bud! Something I might suggest for individuals just starting on a just incase bag but not intending on a prepping lifestyle like ours would be to add some of the following: serious gloves, a pry tool, outside water key tool and lots of signaling options like bright orange oversized bandana, whistle, firecrackers (depending on leagality), mirror and if afordable flair gun or pen. dont forget a ham radio programmed for local. service receptions and frs & gmrs frequencies.

33. Good video and starter kit ideas. Some thing I've found handy to have in my 1st aid kit is Orajel with 20% Benzocaine. It works great for cuts, bee stings, bites, broken blisters and things like that.

34. Good practical advice. Thanks.

35. that's a nice good setup my friend looks like you cover all the basics plus some extras (^_-)
    thanks for sharing
    have a great evening

36. Great basic kit. A very   good list of stuff for  the beginer   or a new ideas for others.I like the drum liner and energy shots !

37. thanks for that really information vid, may I just ask off topic? was someone throwing small bits of paper at you from behind the camera? I noticed it from when you show the fire steel. I may be wrong. keep up the good work

38. good kit

39. really great beginner bag. I think you really put together a good kit here. Only thing missing that I see is the cook pot but if its just to get to another location we all know you can go a long time without food.

40. I really wonder why this gray man BS continues to get propigated across the net. If you're wearing any backpack in an emergency situation, you will be noticed by anyone who doesn't have, and wants what you have. A back pack no matter how it looks denotes that you are carrying more that you can manage to carry in your hands. The only way to go unnoticed is to avoid people. Period. I have yet to hear an explanation as to why a "tactical" backpack is and should garner any more attention than any other during an emergency situation or natural disaster

41. hey Country Prepper great video! i was wondering why you wouldn't trust or use a filter in a flood situation? i dont live in the south but this is good info to have. thanks!

42. GREAT STARTER KIT !! Well done 😉 @1:54  1 gallon (3.7 liters) = 3.7 kg ( 8.3 lbs)…..2 Gallons = 16.6 lbs. Water gets hvy after a 5 km hike into safety zone.Having a filter system is a must & better than nothing, in any emergency.  2:06 Can you expand on what you mean when you say that "You wouldn't even Trust any type of filter straw system on the market"…*Question*: have you ever been in a 2 week long flood , with a power outage for over 4 weeks" where the water is contaminated and travel is unavailable / or experience a 4-7 day Thirst hike ?? …1 – 2 Gallons of water doesn't cover 1/2 day of water for a 3 ppl family, yet alone for a larger family.Do you have a Personal Survival story of a SHTF experience of Flooding / Long Power outages / Long term Contaminated water situations / Forest Fire bug out situation / etc…Would love to watch and hear your experience story on a video.     its good to duct tape close or use a large rubber band ,for your FAK. Those boxes tend to pop open due to breaking lock tabs , I've discovered on a trip..and had the contents fly all over on a windy bug out practice run. Good Tip on 3:30 the clotting sponge…;-)11:32 B-12 powder , added to water is great for alertness, and energy depletion. Energy shots have a side effect of sneak-up crashes.One of the most important things I have experienced in Flooding and Bad Storms, is to have a Weather proof Bag to put your BOB in, it sucks having to carry on your head, your gear, through 4 feet or higher rushing flood waters. CHEERS 😉

43. Good basic kit and I like the idea of heavy gloves. I hadn't thought about putting a good set of leather gloves into my bag. I tell you what, it wouldn't hurt to have a small role of duct tape

44. Easy to carry a squashed and rolled up clear12-16 oz plastic water bottle as a water carry bottle, or water filtration/purification container (strong solar irradiation kills virus/bacteria). Solar oven … or no-weight reflective silver mylar film (space blanket) can make this happen.

    If you can find roll up dark plastic film, you can make your own roll up plastic film sunglasses, optometrists have for sale. Easy to store, easy to use (clamps to side of temples), no need to have sunglasses, especially when you wear glasses!

    Also you are the ONLY ONE ! who has even SAID and SHOWN navigation with compass (big or button) … and MAPS !!!!!!! HFS! Is that a brain cell killer to pre-think, or just common sense in preppie- and bushie-think?! Thank you for having MAPS!

45. nice little Bob I recently got a new pack for my bob

46. . Very nice bag. I feel you on the basic bug.. I like it .

47. GREAT STUFF BUD!

48. FIRST!!!
