In this video, I walk through my thought process for packing a 72-hour bag for travel to Mountain Readiness (May 1–3 in Harmony, North Carolina). This bag isn’t just built for the event—it’s packed to handle unexpected emergencies along the way.
Emergency waits for no man.
STAY AHEAD OF WHAT’S COMING
If this matters to you, you should be seeing it in real time, not after it’s already happened.
Every item in this pack was selected based on survival priorities, separating true needs from comfort items. From defense and first aid to shelter, water, fire, food, navigation, communications, hygiene, and rest, each piece of gear has a purpose.
Some of the items shown in this video are prototype gear currently being tested, offering a sneak peek at equipment that may be released in the future.
By the end of the packing process, the total pack weight comes in at just 22 pounds—balanced for mobility while still covering critical survival needs.
This video is designed for both beginners and experienced preparedness-minded individuals, offering insight into how to build a practical, priority-driven 72-hour bag.
A follow-up video will show this gear being used in the field during the Mountain Readiness event.
