Condor 72 Hour Bag Bug Out System

hey y'all I'm uh I'm a little smoked and needed a day to relax and what better way to relax than to tear apart your bug-out system and put it back together again so it's been a while since we've delved into some gear and I am pulling some stuff from my system so I'm going to spin this around and show you what I am going back with item by item by item and hopefully it'll give you guys some ideas and some thoughts about what you have in your systems so I'm just gonna spin this around and show you guys walk you through what I'm doing and why so okay so the bag itself is the Condor 72-hour bag in coyote tan and I've got it facing away from me it has all the pockets this pocket down here and it's got a pocket here and it's got a pocket here [Music] and it's yeah PC it's a pocket here with all the organizers and then the main clamshell pocket and two side pockets one thing I wish it had but it doesn't it has some really good handles here and here but I wish it had a small Mollie field on the top end there Pat this is the top we're looking from the top down I wish it that small molecule may either side so that I could Molly to one for GI canteens up here I would love that it doesn't I'm sure I could rig something up I just haven't yet so inside I've got 2 1 litre smart water bottles and I've got two two and a half pound Superchunk natural peanut butter this stuff is good this is the Skippy extra crunchy you go over here and look at the focus roasted peanuts sugar palm oil salt good stuff so five pounds of food off the bat and two liters of water right here now I have up here these are some NIOSH masks - some gloves inside and some tums or you know facsimile thereof because I do get some pretty gnarly heartburn occasionally and these are just some like little drink mix packets then up here I have a whole bunch of instant coffee this is basically all instant coffee packages and then there's ten granola bars in here as well stuff along the back and a little thing of superglue and it has these mesh pockets with the zippers on the inside of the clamshell and they're pretty good I have not had any issues with the zippers on this bag the only issue I've had was that this right here got caught in the zipper but 30 seconds of yanking and tugging no problem and it didn't damage the bag so that's good so to start with food a little bit of water add mix tums mask and lots of coffee and some granola bars for incidental calories okay next is for pair socks two pairs of Wigwam wool blend hiking socks one pair of Carhartt wool blend boot socks and one pair of Dickies cotton spandex whatever stretchy boots socks and foot powder this stuff also works for your nether regions just saying it gets extra tingly but four pair of socks now my bug-out is max 200 miles and so I'm gonna be heavy on food I'm cowering carrying all of my own calories and I'm gonna be heavy on socks and sustainment items you know water water purification water treatment because my goal is to get from point A to point B not to hang out and see the scenes and smell the roses and and all that I'm just trying to move I'm just trying to put miles underfoot so four pair of socks and then actually on my outside one my outside packages or pockets I have another pair of Dickies boot socks and inside here is a spare pair of safety glasses you can see that right now of course you can't see it they're in there up all those up so there's the safety glasses just kind of a smoked gray UV just standard safety glasses for shielding your eyes from everything from the Sun to debris and you know all the things and I usually have a pair of these with me but they're small compact lightweight and cheap and so I've got a spare pair inside these socks to keep them protected in here that rods in this outside pocket okay and then for spare clothes I've got a pair of nylon cotton cart hearts BDU style pants yeah they're like ballistic nylon you can see the weave and cargo pocket pants they're pretty good they're pretty good and this is a long-sleeve tan colored Dickey shirt just cotton that if I need it as an extra layer or to keep the Sun off of me or whatever it's their regular just cotton t-shirt just to have and add a couple of pairs of man panties and that's all the clothes that I'm bringing just a one change of clothes now obviously I should have clothes on I'm not gonna be buggin out but again I'm not gonna be buggin out naked but again this is not a leisure trip this is getting from point A to point B so I want the least amount necessary to sustain me so I've got one change of clothes as if I get wet I can get out of wet clothes get into these or if I need an extra layer I have or if I have a clothing malfunction Allah Janet Jackson at the Superbowl I have something else to amend my current situation with so extra pair of pants long sleeve shirt short sleeve shirt man panties four pair of socks is the clothing so the clothing goes in this clear heavy duty plastic bag a dry sack of work I have a dry sack for this somewhere much like my poncho which i think is at squits house I don't know where it is which is part of why you should police your gear but I do have this Pat cover as well that rides with me that goes over the whole pack and it's like silicone impregnated nylon that keeps the water off of it and this was about 20 bucks on Amazon it's a great little thing other than in the middle of the pack cover it's got this logo emblazoned on it so that's kind of dumb but whatever so this keeps water off of my clothes and this keeps water off of my pack and the clothes live here in the top of the bag in the main clamshell compartment here so the next thing that's gonna go in this side pocket right here is this camp cup it's about a 1618 ounce stainless steel camp cup and it's got a little hand towel in there wrapped around this 1 liter water bottle got this at the resale store for $1 and this is pretty much my cook kit out on the trail and this goes right inside there it lives inside of there and the reason that towel is there is it insulates the cup from the bottle so that doesn't rattle around it acts as a pot holder before moving hot things off and on the fire and it's a hand towel if you gotta watch your hands wipe your face whatever so I have that as well and I carry and this pops on the front just a little bit of this Purell I'm not crazy about this stuff for everyday use but out on the trail you know if you're doing your business off the side of the trail and you get done and you need freshen up this helps having a little hand towel helps to and you're gonna do in your business I carry bullet paper in here and a full pack of baby wipes for the derriere as well as the armpits and nether regions for staying fresh so water bottle lives in this side pocket and like I said my tarp cover lives in this side pocket as well in this other side pocket I would typically have my poncho however it's not here it's at squid's house so thanks squid good job bro so in this compartment right here the super organized pocket I don't use it for that I just put the stuff that I use regularly in there so do we have a Sawyer mini and water filter and some cheesecloth and a couple of squeeze bags as well as the back our syringe 20 bucks or so at Walmart or Amazon or anywhere far superior to the LifeStraw go watch the LifeStraw equals death video on this channel so I keep the toilet mini and agon Ziploc mostly to keep it all organized tucks in there so and I've decided I'm going to not take my katadyn hiker in this pack just for weight and space I'm trying to call weight which we will get to here in a minute but I've decided for 200 miles say max 20 days on the trail between I have enough water treatment for 21 days aqua Myra water purification tablets which I also carry and I have the Slayer so I'm not taking the katadyn our socks with our shades in them as we discussed previously they go in here other honorable mentions are shoe goo shoe repair and protective coating also excellent firestarter and good for putting your shoes back together or repairing your pack or whatever this stuff has a thousand one uses and it's part of the general repair kit that I run and it lives in that pocket also part of that general repair kit is this this is a combination gonna do it repair slash fishing kit just some safety pins some thread and subdued colors a stringer some split shot some small weights a rooster tail a couple of barbers some leaders that have already got hooks on them some rubber word worms you know just the small assortment of things do you have for fishing for incidental calories if an opportunity presents itself and also to effect repairs because I haven't had a pack come up it's come apart on me while on the trail and it's not fun so having some needle and thread with you is good so that lives in that pocket and then we have this is my mosquito net from this friendly Swede and it's about 20 bucks on Amazon highly recommended it weighs nothing I mean it might weigh 4 ounces and it's yo you can squish it down pretty small and it lives in this pocket ridiculous shadow right there for whatever reason I have generally speaking gloves with me these are just some Walmart not Walmart Home Depot gloves just to help keep you from tearing your hands up your hands are the number one way that you interact with the physical world so if you can keep from tearing your hands up do it so this is a guy who works with his hands I mean we can just play this car game we'll just look at this one finger 1 2 3 4 5 just on this one finger so having some gloves with you it's always a good idea this is some high speed prescription wound healing ointment this is a headlamp and it's just the regular rayovac these are pretty good white light you know high intensity low intensity and off and I have another one that's in my plate carrier that also has red light as red LEDs built into it but this is my bug out bag headlamp that will allow me to work without tying my hands up so if not this one like it fire kit I've talked quite a bit about fire kits here it's in a waterproof Plano box and it's basically just some stuff thrown in here to make fire with so some compressed bar here a tea light some matches a couple of big lighters another tea light some more matches and then underneath of here is napalm in a sack and some tinder and so by and large I can build a fire with what I can pick up off the ground in the pic lighter but if I had to have a little bit of help I've got this kit to give me a little bit of help prescription meds these are basically low-grade back pain pills and muscle relaxers which you know they are prescribed I will not die without them but they are nice to have especially when carrying that on a bug-out and then this is a small gun cleaning and maintenance kit because a rifle and pistol are part of my bug-out kit so some three in one oil you can also is it ideal weapons Lube no but it will prevent rust and you can dress your knives with this as well and oil rag and here some brushes some patches and yeah nothing special oh and a screw that helps for popping the pin out of the bolt carrier group on a an ar-15 so little gun kit I've got a toboggan here with some fake snuff herbal snuff tobacco free snuff all y'all people tell me I'm gonna get tobacco from chewing nicotine I know that's why I don't to nicotine anymore I chew this junk and I'm weaning myself off of this as well so and so in addition in addition to the boonie to the toboggan cap I also carry a Sun Hat too boonie hat and this is just a Rothko thanks Rothko not its proper and multicam 7 3/4 big dome and I usually keep this rolled up on the and tucked into the outside handle right here because it's the first thing I throw on if I need to grab this pack and there's lots of things you can do with this but the number one thing you should do if it is cover your dome alright so next is what I call my junk drawer I have this little zippered cotton duck pouch that has seen better days used to hold first aid gear now it doesn't so this is my junk drawer and in this junk drawer kind of item by item we have for tarp clips for the 10 by 12 brown tarp that's on this bag that tarp is pretty strong with paracord already but if I need these to effect shelter with I have them there are water treatment tablets and three small bottles of iodine for same hey bar of soap inside a box 3 double A batteries 6 triple-a batteries for flashlights fingernail clippers toenail clippers and tweezers just for splinters and maintaining your body on the trail 5 disposable razor blades tape together with Gorilla Tape and I carry a razor knife as part of my EDC and this helps me keep a good edge on my EDC knife and I can use my razor knife for general cutting tasks if needed in an shtf bug-out scenario whatever a indelible ink marker aka a sharpie although this one's made by Milwaukee a just regular bic pen for writing things down keeping you know notes in my journal or writing love letters a sharpening stone a coarse and fine grit sharpening stone and this also has you know some little ceramic rods and therefore honing or whatever and these plates come off these ceramic plates come off and of course there's a little guide in there about how not to die at the end of the world or whatever but it's a pretty good little sharpening stone for honing an existing edge I would not want it to rework an edge but to hone what you've already got it does a pretty good job it's got some weight to it though it's probably about four ounces but for what it is it does a good job another hand towel for you know all the hand towel things a little bit of coated wire for trap making if needed but again I'm really just trying to get from point A to point B however I have this it takes up no space it weighs pretty much nothing so it's coming along for the ride and then a USB charger and an iPhone lightning cable charger cables and this little doohickey here that will plug into you a 12-volt or a 120 volt receptacle comes along with me because I don't know precisely how the end of the world as we know it is going to shake out so I may need this I may not but I have it it's there and there's been a couple times during you know rule of law everyday life I've been like ah need a charger BAM got it so that is what's in the junk drawer and rather than trying to organize all this stuff individually I just throw it in this bag and I throw this bag and this bag good to go okay now trial food in addition to the granola bars in here we have five one pound packages of instant rice and I saved this I cut it out you know so I know how to microwave this stuff when I'm out there bugging out now just the ratio right so it's one to one but just if I get frazzled and I need to remember how do I cook this stuff I have this with me you should probably write a love note on the back of that one to one dummy but I have five pounds of that rationed over ten days of bugging out that's a half pound of rice per day then I have 2 pounds of summer sausage and 2 12 ounce packages of pasteurized cheese calories now this stuff the cheese and the sausage do you need to rotate regularly the stuff has a shelf life of about a year but I like to at least every six months rotate it in and out of the bag but good fat energy protein good fat you know and morale this you can get a cup of this boiling up and cube up some of this and cube up some of this and put it in there and load it all kind of steam together and make you like a beef summer sausage and green onion risotto on the trail mm-hmm it's really good stuff so it helps feed the machine and again get you from point A to point B and I keep all of this in a dry sack which I have a hundred-foot hank of paracord is as part of my system for no other reason then if I need to hang my food in a tree away from my campsite I can so that's something to consider as well but I carry actual food with me and I am attempting to calorie carry all of the calories I'm going to need on the trail while bugging out because I really don't want to have to stop and try and forge or scavenge or hunt or fish or whatever I want to be as wholly self-sufficient as I can to make the most time that I can ok so again we're doing with the Condor 72-hour bag it's a 50 liter bag or about just about 3,000 cubes 3038 cubes so for most people it's gonna be plenty of bag if not too much bag for your bug out for this 200-mile bug out that I need to affect I've got a 50 liter bag so if you have a 30 mile bug out you probably don't need a 50 liter bag most of the space in this bag is taken up by food and clothing what little clothing I have so be very conscious of what you're taking with you now bedroll style 10 by 12 Brown tartan reflective on the other side pre tied with black military specification paracord on the four corners and then inside the bag hold up there is an 80% wool blanket as well as a tan cotton blanket it's a jersey style blanket and that's basically just to get me up off the ground create a barrier in between me and the tarp for condensations that I don't sweat to death and drown in the pool of my own sweat and that's my 3 season summer sleep system 3 season sleep system right there is wool blanket cotton blanket and apartment and yeah that's it probably burn that off but you know whatever the bag does have these loops right down here see I know it's dark for passing the line through to tie your bedroll on or your sleep system or whatever you got so that's the bag and the sleep system on the side of the bag I've got the are tacked to that's been discussed in length on this channel it's been well used well abused and well loved so if you want more clarification on this gigantic 17 and three-quarter inch quarter inch thick wilderness preparedness knife you can check out the big knife Burke's vs. axe video on this channel for bushcrafting but I keep this strapped up to the outside of the pack on this far side over here okay and that's what it looks like strapped to the outside of the pack I run this cinch strap through the sheath and then this cinch strap over the top of the sheath and not having just a little bit of tinder in here swipe left I don't know I've never tendered but a little tender package in there for if needed okay and last but not least super fast quick overview if you want more clarification on this this is the kondal condor modular chest set you can look up the standalone video on this on this channel the condor modular chest set and I will go through it in great detail if you'd like to know precisely what you're looking at here but this is warm in conjunction with this and my EDC which is a rat 3 fixed blade a Glock 21 C spur magazine a lighter chapstick and a hankerchief and a double a flashlight okay that's my EDC and then as well as this so these systems all got system is the chest rig the rucksack the rifle and the EDC for things so here we have your standard blowout kit tourniquet is really wound dressing combat gauze - chest seals a few odds and ends a five by nine some four-by-fours some kerlix sheers right the Gerber strong-arm soldier knife for knife things a Gerber multi-tool here next to that small carabiner I tend to hang my gloves here when I'm not I'm not wearing them that's where I hang them because I am a collector of right-handed gloves and a loser of left-handed gloves so having a place to securely stow them that they stay together go hooves me this is my boo goon kit has all kinds of stuff in here there's an ace bandage some matches some butterflies for closing wounds inside of here I've gone through this many times in other videos but there's moleskin and band-aids and just all the beautiful things are in there that's my basic first-aid kit so block kit for major trauma basic stuff maintenance right there are six magazines back here one two three four five six primary reloads are right here and right here if I was in a hostile environment I'll be walking around with this tab off so I'd pop that out and get thirty rounds of 62-grain light AP rounds you know steel core rounds dropping the gun I will tell you this as a caveat I just blew through about three well almost 300 of these rounds this past weekend and I found there's a lot of deformity on the casings so now these are once end or twice reloaded breasts so this is the IMI manufacture 62-grain el AP round just be careful with it because it did induce a total of five stoppages between two weapons over the course of three hundred rounds so the fact of the matter is I'm probably going to shock all of this out use it for training ammo and replace this with something that's a little bit more dependable but there is 6 loaded 30 round magazines on here in conjunction with the one that will be on the rifle in the rifle at the time of by gap in here is a lens that a compass and a can of fake snuff a face shield and maps in here a map compass this is the Condor I think ma 34 general pouch you got a map compass in here it is tied to the pouch so that it can't be lost and there's some granola bars in here there is some my civilian chem-lights in here another small fire kit and some paracord odds and ends this is a basic survival kit line gear the concept the line gear but if I got separated from this I have this and I can get by in light of that being separated and having only this in the back pocket back here my water bladder just blew out important to note there's water treatment in here as well not a filter but there's two more sets of aqua Myra water treatment tabs in here for a total of 50 liters of water in this sustainment pouch but in here TP never know what you're gonna need is a TV so I keep a full row full roll squashed up in there and my 3 liter bladder that was in there has recently burst it was a Coleman brand which I've had scattered success with so I will be going back with a camel back in in the back of that so that is the totality of the web gear and the rucksack for the current bug-out setup alright guys I hope that helped somebody with something or at the very least gave you something entertaining to look at I apologize for the camerawork it's weird lighting in here so one day when we're big and famous I'll have myself a nutnfancy reviewing table but until that time comes y'all get to hang out in bed with me you're welcome so I hope that helped and or at least give you an idea of where my head's at when it comes to moving this body 200 miles upstream to architects a homeless from the Babylon of the DFW Metroplex and so there's a few things that I'm heavy on and I know I'm heavy on and I talk to people all the time about what they carry and I'm appalled that they're not heavy on my water carrying capacity is 5 liters I really think I'm gonna add a GI canteen to this kit as well I don't know if it'll end up on the chest rig although that's a good place for it or if it'll end up on the rucksack or the belt line the belt line is probably the best place for it put a 1 quart GI canteen on the boat line and I am considering putting together a Batman belt of just a few small basic things for my belt line but the fact that matters I would never carry them in my daily life but they'd be cool but I'm big on water carrying capacity I'm big on water purification and treatment I'm not bringing the katadyn hiker water filter and I think that'll be ok I'm betting my life on it so it better be ok it's a big on water a big on calories as you've seen I have 14 pounds of food not including granola bars and peanuts in that sustainment bag so I'm probably closer to 1718 pounds of food so that's 1.7 1.8 pounds of food per day over 10 days with a goal of making 20 miles per day worst case scenario if I have to go the entire distance on foot from here to the homestead and architects a homeless you want to be on for maintenance calories well over a pound ideally a pound and a half of food per person per day and for sustainment or I'm sorry what your body really needs is at least two pounds so especially when you're out there huffing it working right so I'm under two pounds I'm 1.7 1.8 so I'm in kind of in a sweet spot between having enough food and taking too much weight so we'll call it 18 pounds of food for 10 days it's pretty good and that means that I can move without getting caught up and having to fish having to hunt having to trap now the target of opportunity comes along awesome but if it doesn't I'll make it and not be so weak from malnutrition towards the end of my trip that I don't actually get there now a strange phenomenon is that you're probably not gonna get real hungry until day three to day five of Overland rucking but once you get hungry you're gonna get real hungry so you know I also keep I'm pretty well schooled in wild edibles because my wife is a voodoo doctor which person what else to keep this wild edibles in the outside pocket of the rucksack so that if I'm not sure of what I'm looking at I can at least refer to that and go oh I shouldn't eat that it's gonna make me trip and possibly die of you know a psychoactive reaction who knows so I have that as well so big on food big on water big on firepower simply because I'm well aware of what human beings are capable of when they are backed up against a wall in really bad situations I don't want to have to pull the trigger on anybody but if I have to it's kind of the same philosophy as my plate carrier three magazines three magazines no thank you there is no resupply it's one of the things we talk about often here there is no resupply nobody is going to throw you a magazine when you run dry so I have six plus one in the right one in the rifle so that's your standard basic combat loadout and then I've got two for the pistol one in it and one spare and why does the pistol exist the pistol exists to fight your way to the long gun that you should have had in the first place or because the wrong long gun has had a heart stoppage or has run dry and you can transition from your rifle to your pistol which is something I trained you can go watch the summer range de 2018 video the last footage in there is me training two and twos two from the rifle through to the pistol two from the rifle to the pistol to get that the mechanics of that down and maintain the familiarity of it so big on food big on water big on firepower light on sleep system admittedly got some first aid and light on gadgets I don't have a lot of gadgets I don't want gadgets I don't want cutesy artsy fartsy single tasker's everything I have is a multitasker it'll do more than one thing right so I don't carry any fancy stuff it's just all basic stuff and there's its quantity right I have quality stuff and I carry that quality stuff in quantity enough quantity to to sustain me for the duration of the trip that's my ideology behind it it's it's not fancy it's just well-thought-out so I hope this helps you guys this is not the first time we've dug douve into a bug-out bag or even this bug out bag but I was just playing with it and going back through it moving things around and replenishing and I figured I would document the process for you guys so hope this helps and Shalom and blessing Joe please
