I put nail clippers in my bag. Something small you don’t think about but you don’t want to be biting your filthy fingers

Thanks for the video. I'm not really sure why people are hypnotized by this "Lone Wolf" mentality. Unless you are already in the middle of nowhere and have no family or friends. I'm sure you have hear the saying "There's strength in numbers", and it's for good reason. In a true SHTF situation: Pets are edible too! I know it sounds terrible but, it's going to be easier to find roaming pets than it is wild game. Something to think about. You wont be the only one to go out into the woods, there will be plenty of others out there too.

For what an inch pack would need to have in it, one should<br>look at the waggons the pioneers had..<br>No way one will sustain indefinite with what you can carry in your backpack.<br>Exemptions might be possible for a very few people or for a certain ammont of time, but in general you are done if you are not in a community.<br>The lone wolf thing is bull...<br>If you look at people ,that actually had to escape from something to somewhere else , it shows that a passport, some documents,a mobilphone, portable valuables plus lots of cash is what helped them most.<br>Still,in addition to that a small basic kit will be usefull ,- but for me that would be more in the size of a smaller get home bag .

I put me a hand fishing reel in my INCH bag too as part of food procurement. A company called daggerfish makes the best I’ve seen. I paid about 40 bucks for it

Pack an extra blade for that Silky, they don't weigh much and are awesome to have. I always pack an extra blade.

Realistically, the risk is far more likely that losing a job, a divorce, a local event that takes out your current home, apt, location is what makes this knowledge, skills, abilities and tools important.

Thoughtful video; my weapon is a 12 gauge single shot with mini shells with various pellet from slug to birdshot... <br><br>I looked at a Savage double barrel rig that was 410/22 but it was almost six bills... So I settled on a RIA Tradition 12 gauge and to cover the 22lr I just bought a Cricket... The two guns were less than $250...I've thought about getting a long rifled adapter but that's probably another bill fifty plus weight.... But redundancy is good....<br><br>Good video, thanks for sharing n' God bless brother

I'm glad to see someone else who has yo-yo traps in their kit!!<br>I'm further North and streams are smaller so I just use sticks as fencing instead of gill net.<br>While I have those braded steel fishing leaders for snaring (spring pole/yo-yo), I gave my yote snares to a friend of mine.

It’s more mental than physical. Provided you have spent the time learning bushcraft and primitive living skills, could you physically go out into the wilderness and make it? Absolutely! The early pioneers did it and they didn’t have near the access to all we have access to. They had more knowledge and skills but you can learn that. <br><br>The biggest hurdle would be the mental aspect. Walking away from your whole life and everything you take for granted that you wouldn’t even think of now sitting in your home would be far harder to adjust to.
