I'm a career, disabled 11B (US Army infantry) veteran. I have enough metal in me to build a small car. I get out and train 4-5 days per week. I know what I can do to maintain a schedule and keep going. This guy would eat my lunch, but I will get home to my family. My maps are marked for things like bridges and shallow points in river fording. I don't mark my house or other "important to me" points. I can make 10-15 miles per day without taking myself out of movement for days. It is about knowing what your body can do.

This is one of the first get home bags that actually looks like a true 'point to point' bag. You're doing nothing but trying to get to where you need to go.

I carry a pair of clear plastic shop safety glasses with me for night travel in the woods. They don't weigh a thing.

Finally someone gets it! Get home bag should be just enough to get your ass home as fast as possible. I see so many guys packing so much unnecessary crap. This is refreshing.

Finally someone who’s going the right way- home!  If things go bad there’s zero way I’m leaving my home. It’s safe, warm, secure, has all mine and my family’s stuff and has a garden for growing my own food. If people want to go and bug out to live in a hole in the ground in the woods then be my guest but I’m doing everything I can to stay at home. Even if I do have to leave I’m choosing literally any other option other than a hole in the ground.

This is one of the best get home bag videos out there.  
This guy understands the mission is to get home.  He left all the fishing/hunting gear out of his bag.   Kept it small and light.  And actually uses his gear.
The only things I did differently was added some cash. Like $40 in small bills.  This way if there is a power outage I can still buy stuff and spend $20 on a soda.  
Also all my battery powered stuff uses the same type of battery.  So I can swap them or I need to buy only one type of battery.

I'm retired at 66 years old.  When I was in my 20's and 30's I could move cross country easily on foot or bicycle because I did it regularly. There is only a small percentage of people that can cover 20-30 miles a day. I see these guys ready to camp, light fires, filter water, fight crowds, and pack 45 to 60 pounds.
I like your I'm doing nothing but traveling.  Sleep, camping, is secondary. Food and water on the run, calories first, taste second.
Me at 66, I have carried a 20-25 pound pack daily walking my dog 2-5 miles a day. I've only missed 2 days in the past 9 months. I'm just trying to get back in shape again. Being old in addition to band aids, socks, I have a knee wrap and an ankle wrap in the bag. Spare eyeglasses for those of us who use them are cheap and small.
One thing I would suggest is to have cash in multiple pockets.  Just because one place is under lockdown or utilities out, another location may accept cash.  Food, water, transportation may be available.  Multiple pockets in case you are accosted.

Thank you for the video, has given me a lot to think about. I will be revisiting my philosophy to make sure it is still  realistic. I do train with my GHB and as an older guy (66) pack weight is a big deal. One thing I carry that a lot of videos don't mention is extra strength pain reliever. Older guys can still cover long distances in a day; it's day two where some heavy duty Advil will come in handy when we have to  pay the price for day one.

Add if you are traveling in your own vehicle when things get raggedy, a folding bike, or a beater on a bike rack, lets you cover distance at the start of a disaster when things are in flux, and travel while hectic is generally safe, and you can use the roads, older mountain or road bike with good tires, don’t forget a patch kit, and pump.

The most essential piece of equipment for any person operating as an outdoorsman, as a combat soldier as a Bushcrafter, Hunter,  hiker woodsman emergency response, etc etc is always first and foremost, without exception, in any environment on any continent in any type of ecosystem at any time of year always an extra clean dry pair of socks.
60% of your comfort and 80% of your mobility is through your feet

My Buddy and I consistently do 20-30 mile Bug out/ Get home training scenarios all the time.  Watching you Huff and puff and March and Struggle along............I feel your pain brother!!  It's not easy .    Great video ✌️😁

Knowledgeable, concise, on point, experienced. A super sharp presentation and probably one of the best out there. I’d rate this guy right alongside Prepared Pathfinder et al. And don’t we all know SHTF is coming REAL soon. Best of luck everybody, stay tuned.

Mr. Grunt.  I like your videos. The concepts you highlight are very helpful.  I can only add to the conversation one way, at 13:05 you talk about sleeping.  It has been proven that 19 minutes of sleep is the goal.  It refreshes you, does NOT make you groggy and gives you hours of energy, until you take another 19 min nap.  Great video.

I rarely add any comments. But I find this video to be excellent.
Frankly my get home bag has had more and more junk added to it over time. And this is an excellent reminder that this type of system is different than a car system. I don’t need 2 wrenches in my get home bag.
Excellent video!

Snugpak does in fact make a SF bivy

SOOOOOO refreshing to see a BOB that doesn't have 7 different knives and especially 15 different ways to start a fire...
As a L.E.O. then a EMT and then an American Red Cross volunteer, I have NEVER seen anyone stop in the middle of a SHTF scenario to build a fire...
Haven't finished your video yet, but FYI any bag yhat doesn't contain something for a person to wipe with AND wash their hands after just isn't realistic...

Priorities and survival instead of comfort. Mobility instead of unnecessary gadgets. Focus on the goal. Greetings from Poland.

Me, I would carry a poncho and poncho liner.

As an EMT, and veteran..I got three words for ya.. tourniquet, tourniquet, tourniquet! 😉

Add a head net for the bugs.
