BioLite Prep Kit, SolarHome 620, Headlamp, Sunlight - National Preparedness Month

[@ethanward9815]

Mike thank you for your videos!! I am 25 years old and never went to college, I find my self having a really hard time keeping up with new "tech" and how to not be left behind the power curve with staying relevant with my friends and family on both hardware and software. Will you please make a video on resources you might use or recommend to understand "tech" more completely so I can join my peers in today's world?

[@KloPoon]

I've had a "prepper" mind set for years. But unlike yall, or most of yall, i have basically no physical preps. That's why I love llod. Once i do go out and buy stuff, I'll know what I want and what to get. Much love from FoCo!:)

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Good thing is the mindset is the most important thing - gear definitely helps too though, haha

[@titanpreparedness]

Pretty neat cant wait to get my 620. Just wish it had a bigger battery

[@thatchanguy]

Thanks for the review! I like Biolite's gear, but I think I've got what I need already in my DIY preparedness kits. I'm definitely going to share with my friends though.

[@Iam_Machines]

Interesting kit. The colors are kinda weird though. It all looks like my grandpa's home dialysis machine 😄

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Yeah not my first choice - think they maybe come in gray as well.

[@johnmarsh8597]

After you reviewed it they decided to release it in blaze orange and multicam black! You’ve got that kind of sway, right? ;-)

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I wish

[@Kylerauphotography]

Anyone else like the video before it starts :P Great vid Mike!!!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Cheers brother!

[@michaelkeith9141]

Great little kit. Thanks for the video and looking forward to the next couple!!!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Thanks for watching!

[@Diebulfrog79]

I got your back, thanks for the share, Mike. Good video

[@davidzuravel8723]

I live in Ohio, Do you recommend moving to Colorado and is it a fully feasible to work and do weekend over-landing? What advice could you give to someone looking to relocate?

[@yautja7146]

I recently installed 5 Inergy Linx solar panels on my shed. They recharge the Inergy APEX solar generator in ~2 hours. It's a nice little setup if you can't install solar panels on your roof for whatever reason. NOTE: The optional 6' EC8-to-EC8 extention cables are too long for this type of setup although its quite easy to make shorter cables.

[@Michael-xb1el]

Mike, you have to lookup lifestraw universal water filter. Fits nalgene bottles

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I'll check it out!

[@justingarnick6021]

Just to help out the algorithms. Love LLOD. Got ur patch on my Tacoma. Love it

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Appreciate it!

[@jamesmauex]

Great review Mike,always appreciate your video!! All of them!! How is the ankle? Why to do say USB C over micro? What’s the advantage of the C?

[@cazkeymekam6427]

USB C is just becoming standard.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Yeah mostly because all of modern tech (tablets, laptops, phones, etc) are all on usb c, and it'd be nice to only have to have one cable.

[@jailbreakoverlander]

Like seeing more uploads brother.

[@TexaSteven]

What brand of watch band do you have on your Apple Watch?

[@yautja7146]

The most versatile portable stove IMHO is the 5" Firebox Stove. Clean up is a bit tedious but it will literally last a lifetime and that's kinda what you want.

[@brianthebrian3889]

When will you venture into the woods with your truck enjoying what Colorado has to offer.... why you could even do your reviews with a river in the background or have bigfoot model some of the headlamps..

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I've yet to make friends with a Bigfoot, unfortunately

[@jacob9775]

What do you do with all the gear that you dont end up using time and time again, I'm a college student and dont have much money but love what you're doing and love this type of stuff. But being in college I have little to no money for anything, any thoughts or any ideas for preparedness on a budget?

[@yautja7146]

The BioLite 620 works well in sheds and workshops. The solar panel and internal battery are very underfunded.

[@phillinsey6550]

Nice review. Almost looks like the entry pad for my old apartment! Correct me if this suggestion is not appropriate, but I'm about to go on my first "backpacking trip" (basically an extended hike with camping along the trip and not returnig to the car) And since you have extensive knowledge (and cool content) would you ever do a load out bag review / or tips to preparedness in a single pack? Kinda like your bugout bag, but more short term necessities? IDK if this falls under your realm of video content, but I think it would be a good segment to expand into. Just a suggestion. Looking forward to the next weekenderlander.

[@mandangalo803]

Wish it wasn’t so expensive. Good video

[@markbuhler5681]

Off topic but how do you feel about Polymer80 builds and do your holsters work with them, been thinking of doing a custom build to replace my carry gun. Thanks for all the great content btw

[@14supersaint]

Great vid! I’m also in the market for a portable battery. I feel like I heard you say you were going to do a review, I’m holding off until I hear about some of your favs!!

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Yeah I have a few coming up.

[@juanr5793]

I'm curious to know if you have your home running of solar panels and prepared as well as the Tacoma like full of gear

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I'm actually getting solar, with battery backup installed this month!

[@juanr5793]

@@LastLineOfDefense I'm also trying to do the same but I don't know where to start what do you recommend

[@LastLineOfDefense]

I'm going with a Tesla system, they seemed to have the best pricing that I found.

[@miragexl007]

Man, I got the 620. Don't know how to set English as the language??. Not in the manual. It's stuck on some other language. I just got this thing. No number to call, just send email. Any ideas. Little aggravating. I can set time

[@JDBeastmode]

Are you planning to wrap your truck again differently?

[@LastLineOfDefense]

No immediate plans, no.

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Haha nah I'm not too worried about little scratches and stuff

[@J.Young808]

Yay weekenderlander 😃 🎉

[@Casey_7140]

Completely off topic....I've been looking for some reputable firearm training classes local to CO. Know anyone offhand or have recommendations?

[@LastLineOfDefense]

None that I've taken personally - but find some instructors that you like and keep on eye on when they come through Colorado.

WE WANT MORE WEEKENDLANDER!!!

Do you offer Shopify website development services?

Love the kit mike. Would be interested in seeing your EMP kit in case the end of the world comes in the next few days.

I'm sorry, but the Camp Stove case is a real POS. They need to beef it up.

[@kuuphone3193]

They didn't pay me (in money) they just sent me a kit (payment) Uh huh...

[@LastLineOfDefense]

You don't believe they sent me a kit?

[@kuuphone3193]

@@LastLineOfDefense I think that sending someone free stuff is payment as much as any other. There is incentive to give good reviews to continue to get good merchandise to review, and even if you don't purposely do so, it alters your perception when it's free stuff. I just always find it a little disingenuous when KZbinrs say "I'm not being paid, this was just free expensive stuff I got as payment for a review."

[@LastLineOfDefense]

Money pays bills, product pays nothing - there is a 1000% difference. Anyone with a moderately sizable following can get anything they want for free. Free products are treated the exact same as purchased products - if I like them I use them, if I don't like them nobody ever sees them.
