I’ll bе thе first tο admit thаt I hаνе a lot tο learn. Watch mе learn thе hard way thаt a 3 season sleeping bag doesn’t suffice іn a typical Canadian winter night. Stealth camping, οr bugging out іѕ challenging enough іn thе summer, bυt whаt аbουt thе winter? Dοеѕ уουr bob (bug out bag) content list change wіth thе seasons? Mine dοеѕ аftеr thіѕ evaluation. Winter саn bе сοld, dаrk аnd whеrе I live, humid. Sweating οr getting wet саn bе deadly. Another killer іѕ cotton. Bе sure уουr bob іѕ packed wіth season appropriate gear, lіkе lots οf wool fοr winter, аnd a bug net fοr summer. Of course, thе οnlу way tο know whаt works іѕ bу getting out thеrе аnd testing уουr gear іn thе real world.

Dude. . . drop the German folding shovel and get yourself a 10oz garden shovel or something. I found one at a Goodwill store for $1. 00. That will save you about 5lbs. I’ve sewn a ripstop tarp for myself that weighs less than 2lbs with guy lines, stakes, and poles. You could find a place for something that light. Just some food for thought.
wow man, i would learn how to build a shelter from nature. pine trees are great, use to put below you and around you. you can find some great shelter building vids on here.
@envirosponsible I can handle 100 pounds, but mobility and distance are affected, but I like having anything I could ever need.
40 pounds? My little brothers can carry that man, they’re back packs weigh that.
Very good video. But remember, this is peacetime. It will be quite different when the SHTF. You will have to get out of the city. Head for the woods. Make sure you have a good pellet gun. That way you can hunt small game without drawing attention with gunfire. You can’t stay in the city, too many gangs and hungry people. The nicest guy in town is not going to let his kids starve. He will rob you. An even bigger problem is having a woman with you. Get a gun. Men will do crazy things for a woman.
@TheStealthCamper Dam straight brother, all these “rational” people armed to the teeth, are the ones to avoid. Their gonna be killing each other over a tin of beans. Bug Out Tip. . . . Avoid People!
I’m bettin that East german shovel accounts for half the weight you are packin. . . . those things are heavy as hell, built w/ tank steel.
Thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see someone actually put their system to the test. The only thing you can’t test is the 50,000 other desperate people looking around for the same thing in a disaster situation.
Rated minus 10, and it goes to -15,
the bag will not work. Even minus 11.
although you are finding a lot of nice things, stay away from an industrial area like that. All the creeps and crackheads are gonna go there too.
@envirosponsible My bag weighs a lot too. I was doing a bug out practice where I spent the night in the woods and realized I couldn’t even walk half a mile without the bag ripping my shoulders off. The solution I came up with is a small hand cart. That way over long distances you could drag your bag on it and drag it around. Im going to give it a try.
@TheStealthCamper Tents are not needed were I live. . Why would I need a tent? As far as food = Skill . There is food all around us, every where I look . No bag can replace survival skills. 7 days off food is only that.
@TheStealthCamper Also, if the wild life around you was still alive and thriving. . . you could get some cheap light weight snare wire and trap some food all you want without sacraficing a lot of weight and i agree with envirosponsible because out of all your survival supplies, I would say that food is the most heavy and bulky of them all. Also, a healthy human could go a few weeks without food.
I have a gas mask in my bugout bag but to be honest it’s not really a “need” item mostly because sure it could help you for about 3 hours but it’s not like in the movies when they have a gas mask for days. The typical charcoal filter civillian gas mask is only good for about 3 hours of heavy chemical attacks.

I’m going to subscribe
lol a pop up camper! sure they wouldnt mind if you tried it out!
I’d rather have a plan for a food/water supply than 7 days worth of food. As an example, I live in an area filled with wild deer and turkeys. Seeds would be worth far more to me than a weeks worth of MREs. Some things I probably would have to refresh my supplies on, but my gut feeling is that I’m not surrounded by people who would think to take the dryer lint when looting a home.
Great video!
@envirosponsible the biggest key is to dress in layers, have a good sleeping bag and have high calorie food rich in protein carbs and fats as fat is basically concentrated calories. next if you are in an area where you can get away from the wind that is best. also stay hydrated so your cells can thermoregulate themselves. wools and fleece as well as a good base like silk or polypro or such that wicks. the us military makes a great modular sleep system. I’ll get back to you with more a bit later
Well, . . it takes a man to admit failure in life. let alone on film. Good on ya!
Cheers,
Kel
@unrulyierulli1 You can’t leave me hanging like that! Tell me more. Do you have a video or any other info? I’m here to learn, and it sounds like you have some good info. Please share.
did u know that you can make a winter bug out bag that weighs less than 30 pounds if you choose your gear and location carefully?
“who knows what happens here at night. . . ” crackheads! lol xD
US military sleep system would have gotten you through the night. . . It has its drawbacks, but it does work.
