Get Home Bag Set-Up : Brushfire Backpack

Just a "In Loving Memory" Story regarding my Father an a "Watch Cap"! My Dad fought in WWII and Korea in the U.S. Navy. He was issued a "Watch Cap" in Bootcamp. During WWII he had two boats sunk out from under him. Then he served until after Korea and left the Navy. Every winter in Connecticut he wore THAT very same "Watch Cap" that survived WWII and Korea until His returning to Our LORD in 2000,,,,! Imagine having that same "Watch Cap" with the memories it held for over 50 years! In Loving Memory of my Father! Best to ya',,,,!

A friend of mine got stuck in a blizzard near Lake Tahoe. (He worked at one of the ski resorts, as did I.) Luckily, he knew to keep emergency supplies in his car. Several warm blankets, extra socks, food he could eat on the spot, drinking water and a battery powered radio. (This was long before cell phones). The local cops found him in the morning. I suggest you take into account what environment and the weather before leaving your vehicle.

I've watched dozens of these "Get Home Bag" videos. What I've learned about building one is that half of the components are identical. That is a gun, knife, water filter, medical kit, shelter, etc. About another quarter of the bag is built around where you live and/or what time of year you're in. The last quarter pretty much seems to be optional, whatever makes you feel safe and you're personal style of survival. I have to admit, my bag is in a constant state of flux. I change things up based on the times of the year and where my travels may take me. Plus, I may add things or change things up based on people's ideas. Not only does all this keep me prepared, I just enjoy the hell out of it.

I almost had to spend the night out in freezing temperatures while bird hunting. Was completely exhausted in rough terrain. It was supposed to be a short hunt so I didn't bring my survival gear. Lesson learned. Thanks for sharing.

I always have extra stuff. I always overpack. Three fire starting methods, two rechargeable lights, one 20,000mah battery, one good knife and one good multi tool are non-negotiable. The rest is usually gym clothes, street clothes, body wash and a towel. I’m always looking for the best pack for my edc gym bag. It goes everywhere with me.

Always great videos. I follow your channel for about 7 years now. Never gets below awesome.

Fun intro! Glad to see Roaring Fire's latest, they make great packs and this is a real leap forward. I'll definitely be getting one for either a get home bag or a day pack

Haven’t seen a good GHB setup video in a minute. Great to see a refresh for the newbies.

A Get Home Bag is great for all emergencies I was stranded in the mountains once my bag kept me comfortable, feed and hydrated Thank for the good video

I love that top facing zipper area for glasses and quick essentials!

Your videos are inspirational and very practical. I have been learning and I do appreciate the time you put in to deliver the most practical survival practices. Thank you.

Awesome, I carry an emergency get home bag in my truck, i carry all the equipment you carry on yours plus some freeze dried food and a jet boil, im 65 years old so I cant run a marathon in 2 hours so just focus on getting to your destination safely

I like when he makes this survival backpack videos 😊 I always get my backpack and lay everything out on the table just make sure I don't miss anything... The other day I went out to one of the APPALACHIAN trails just to test some of my gear and when I pulled my mountain map I forgot my compass 🤦 I did have my phone on me but i thought if I use my smartphone for guidance I'll be cheating locally I had a luminox Bear Grylls edition I used as compass but now I have 2 compass. I always remember Sootch always say 2 is 1 and 1 is...well you get the point

Very good GHB vid. Having enough to get you home from a further distance you can always just leave what you don’t need behind.

I had many questions about the bag itself and you answered them right away! Thank you for this.

The nice thing is you explain what is get home bag without saying a word in the beginning of video ❤

The bloopers add the realistic element to the videos. Awesome content.

Sunscreen, advi, allergy meds, copy of your ID, keys, pancho + bag cover.

Being what some would refer to as old our kits also include our everyday meds. One a recent trip we discovered that we forgot some of our important meds, fortunately we had an adequate supply in our bags.
