Add a good belt and put as much on it as possible. You would be surprised how much weight you can shift from your back to your hips.

[@gone547]

First thing I have done is change my pack from one of the fancy molle bags to one of the Vietnam era Alice Packs sporting 3 large and 3 medium external but integral (not removable) pouches, large main storage area with internal pouch and alloy frame. Can't believe I had forgotten how functional, light and comfortable they are. Repacking will now give me the opportunity to cull some items I can do without and focus more on real SHTF stuff and lighter more up-to-date equipment. Any weight saved will go towards self defence/poaching equipment.

[@pauledmonds7316]

@Cyber Simba 6 YES; I'm having to rethink my kit and resort to lighter alternatives and slim down my pack. ... and i'm seeing that it's true; greater knowledge requires less kit - Get in shape AND acquire more knowledge. Some kit is better than No kit and learn to improvise n make do!

Eye protection. A couple of weeks ago I was camping solo using my hatchet and got a piece of wood in my eye. Luckily I had some visine to help get it out

[@jeffborders5526]

One of the most commonly overlooked camping type injury is getting poked right in the eye by a rogue twig poking out from some nearby shrub. You don't even need a hatchet you just need to be walking or moving around while not 100% aware of every last twig blowing in the wind.

Grab your top eyelashes. Pull your top eyelid out away from your eyeball and down overtop of your bottom eyelid, lashes and all. Simply blink the crap out of your eye. I thought it was BS as well when I got some wood debris in my eye on a construction job. Boss told me to try this, I thought he was f-ing with me. But it works! I do this every time I get crap in my eyes and I don't buy eye drops until my bottle expires, because I NEVER need them!

[@greenman7126]

All good ideas, however, this scenario would be the very last option for me. I have hiked for many years in lots of places around the world. I have always tried to keep fit, I still train every week but as I get older, I am 66 this year, for me prolonged periods of severe physical activity ie hunting, construction (shelter building) etc. In all weather conditions and terrain would be extremely arduous. It was tough in the mountains when I was, 20, 30 and 40. A key point that I would like to make is that the weight of you're backpack needs to be as little as possible to give you true mobility. The balance between what you need and what you can consistently carry is a difficult one.

I mean hiking and survival are very different things. If your hiking and camping there's many things that you can do without for short periods, but in a true survival scenario you're not going to want to hike that many miles. Going to want to find some where to bivouac and then go out during the day with only food water and a weapon to scavenge

[@Christian_Prepper]

*PREPPERISMS: The following list isn't meant to be an exhaustive list of Prepper knowledge, just inspiration.* *"MORE YOU KNOW, LESS YOU NEED"* Skills are more valuable than stuff. Seek to acquire as many practical skills & knowledge because they can't be easily lost, stolen or broken & then practice them now! Remember, knowledge weighs nothing & "the more you know the _lighter_ your load". *_Proverbs 22:3 "The shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself, But the inexperienced keep right on going and suffer the consequences."_* *"TWO is ONE & ONE is NONE"* Because stuff gets lost, broken, stolen, so have backups to your backups of essentials like 2 knives, 2 lighters, etc listed in your Bug-Out-Bag described at the end below. *"RULE of 3"* You can die after 3 seconds of indecision during a fatal threat (predetermine reasonable losses) 3 minutes without air (practice freediving breathing techniques) 3 hours of exposure to extreme weather (practice hydrotherapy to enhance body thermo-regulation) 3 days without water (practice economy of movement & water fasting) 3 weeks without food (practice fasting) 3 months without a long term plan (because seasons change) 3 years without a partner/team (screen members now) 3 decades without reproduction (new generation is necessary) *FOUR SELF-DEFENSE* EVASION (head-on-a-swivel; become a "Grayman") PERSUASION (humble negotiation/bartering, reading body language, micro expressions, listening, psychology, persuasive language patterns) DEFENSE (if evasion/persuasion fails, target their eyes, throat, ears, groin, knees, feet then escape; resilience & tenacity can outstrip strength & speed) DEFENSIVE TOOL (Although firearms may be common but it may be wise to consider a concealable range defense with low maintenance & not dependent on manufactured ammo, such as an adjustable cane/walking staff, baseball bat, crowbar, slingshot, bullwhip, etc) *FIVE to SURTHRIVE!* True, we should all be prepared to survive without energy/electricity or public water. But creating energy & water off-grid means more than just surviving, but it's thriving! SOLAR POWER SYSTEM: solar panels, battery bank, inverter WIND GENERATOR: wind turbine, battery bank, inverter. HANDCRANK GENERATOR: gear ratio allows just one person to turn a handle & generate power. COMBO GENERATOR: generator that combines as many of these sources above. DEHUMIDIFIER: can pull water right out of the air! PROs: Solar & Wind power increased by adding more panels, turbines, or batteries. Handcrank can be hooked up to a bicycle & is never dependent on the weather but can generate electricity 24/7. Dehumidifier (large model) can provide upto 8 gallons of water per day (depending on humidity level) even in a tiny little apartment. CONs: No sun or wind, or human fatigue may limit power. Dehumidifiers are useless without electricity & if the air is contaminated be prepared to filter the water before drinking. *SIX SHIELDED SHELTER* _"Watchout With Wetty, Windy, Warmy, Wiggly, Wicky & Widow-makers!"_ Build shelter where it's high & dry above "wetty" during rain, but close to a "wetty" source to stay hydrated; where "windy" is blocked when it's cold, but allow "windy" when hot; where fire wood keeps you "warmy" when cold, but shaded from "warmy" when hot; where you're off the ground away from "wiggly" critters & off a "wicky" cold ground; & not under "widow-maker" dead trees/limbs that could fall on you. Remember, you need something to sleep under, to sleep on & to sleep in. *SEVEN HEAVEN SKILLS* KZbin "How to" videos for these force multipliers & practice daily/wkly: LEARNING/REMEMBERING (attention=retention, repetition=recall, adaptability=survivability) HABIT CREATION (uses cues, craving, routine, reward; success is the compound interest of effective habits) MEDITATION (enhances attention span, pain & stress management) HEALTH (Eat better but less; Move more often & faster; Hygiene your machine by keeping clean) FASTING (autophagy & strengthens self-control/self-discipline) FIRST-AID/TRAUMA (YOU are your "first responder", practice M.A.R.C.H. algorithm) NEGOTIATION (reading body language, micro expressions, listening, psychology, persuasive language patterns, bartering) *EIGHT PREP RATE* Acquire EVERYTHING to survive an entire short period first, before getting more stuff for a longer period because you do NOT want to have a year's worth of water but only 1wk of food & no medical supplies when everything collapses! 1ST: 1 week of water (1gal per person per day), 1 week of food (pre-cooked non-perishable), medical supplies, 1 week of hygiene supplies, 1 week of etc, etc. 2ND: enhance home security & security protocols 3RD: 3 months of water, food, etc 4TH: enhance transportation options (bicycle, cart, etc), dependability & security protocols 5TH: Bug-Out-Bag Myth that bugging out is your first option? NO! Despite the fact that sheltering-in-place is optimum, we never know when we may be forced to bug-out, so it's "Better To Have It & Not Need It, Than Need It & Not Have It". Next, double up on equipment because, "Two is One & One is None". 6TH: 6 mos mix of more water, food, etc, seeds (heirloom Non-GMO seeds are greater than gold), & physical library of educational prepping books. 7TH: Self-Sustainable Sustenance, food production (study & practice gardening/small animal farming [chickens, meat rabbits, etc]) 8TH: Priority Faith to pray for wisdom & humility to answer "If I only had enough time/money to acquire just one more skill/thing before a collapse what would it be?" *_Beginners should just strive to survive without electricity for 72hrs. Then over time, work up to surviving a nuclear attack, because then you will most likely be able to survive every other kind of disaster. Remember, "prepping" is not an event, it's a lifestyle._* *NINE CORE MEMBERS* Anyone opposed to your core Principles & Purposes of life should NOT be in your group! GUARDIAN (Security, safety) HEALER (doctor, medic, nurse, therapist, herbalist) PROVIDER (hunts, forages, scavenges) TINKERER (engineer, scientist, mechanic, handyman, tradesman) FARMER (reproduces animal/plant food; "When you can feed yourself, you can free yourself!") CLERK (organizes supplies, equipment, tasks, training) CAREGIVER (domestic [cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc], counselor, teacher/babysitter) LEADER (empathetically unemotional, logical, negotiator; will emerge as core group is established) CHAMELEON (quick learner, adaptable, willing to change positions & either already has or studies other skills not listed here) *_All skills should be cross trained._* *B.O.B. (BUG OUT BAG)* _(Do NOT confuse this with a smaller "Go-bag/Get-Home-Bag" kept in your vehicle)_ Without compromising quality, get the lightest weight versions of these items & choose multifunction tools to keep total pack weight to less than 20% of a healthy person's body weight. Some examples are included below but there are always better quality items so do your own research. Remember, the best survival items are the ones you already have & know how to use, & the more you know the lighter your load, so study ways to improvise equipment/tools in the field & practice now with what you have. Outside of the B.O.B. hang a small bag of "survival pocket litter" that you empty into your pockets & onto your belt & include one item from each of the following catagories, just in case you get separated from your B.O.B. CONTAINER: Collapsible 1liter plastic water bottle or metal capped canister; mini-Sawyer water filter (water is 8lbs per gallon, so in addition to having some initial water on you, the ability to filter discovered water while on the move will be vital to keeping you hydrated & your load light) CUTTING: Knife (3/16" thick, full tang), Multi-tool w/folding knife, saw, screwdriver set, scissors, awl, can & bottle opener, & pliers. COMBUSTION: lighters, ferro rods, fresnel lens (magnifying glass), tinder, candle, flashlight, headlamp, etc. CORDAGE: rope/paracord/duct tape COVERING: Heavy duty plastic tarp 6x8, 55gal plastic drum liners or sleeping bag, hammock tent, 2 pair socks, 2 underwear, 2 undershirts (avoid cotton, cotton kills), long-sleeved shirt/pull over hoodie, pants (no shorts), work gloves, face masks, bandana/shemagh, mosquito netting, hat, boots, light rain jacket w/hood (unless you live where it's colder than ⅓ of the year do not pack a heavy winter coat, just layer up all clothing when cold & insulate with plastic/rain poncho), avoid camouflage- it's not "Grayman" CARE: First-Aid/Trauma kit (tourniquet, compression bandages, assortment of guaze, medicine, etc); Hygiene (comb, 3 hand towels, toothbrush, toenail clippers, sewing kit, upholstery thread, etc) CONSUMPTION: Food (pre-cooked non-perishable -MREs/jerky) & Fishing/Hunting tools (fish/gill net, snare wire, traps, hooks line & tackle, slingshot, crossbow, gun) COMMUNICATIONS: Whistle, handcrank/solar AM/FM radio w/weather stations; walkie talkie, CB or ham radio, Topo Maps (local,state,country) & Compass; Energy (charger cords, handcrank/solar charger, batteries) CREDENTIALS: (pin reminder note on B.O.B. to get these before leaving) birth certificate, passport, marriage license, house & car keys. CASH: Initially cash money will still be King; pocket sized barter items (small packets of non-perishable food, instant coffee packets, sample bottles of liquor, gold/silver chain, candy/gum) CRAFTING: Axe/Machete, Folding/bow/wire saws, Clawbar 10" (doubles as hammer & key to city), Self-adjusting wrench, Locking pliers, MultiBit Screwdriver & Nut Driver, Electrical wire stripper. CREATIVE: playing cards, harmonica (can scare off predators), pocket bible, SAS Survival Guide. *_"But what if nothing happens?"_** It's okay to be wrong, just don't be dead wrong.

[@OldNavajoTricks]

If you get out regularly enough, take stock of 'Essential' items, note the things you always use in the field until a list is ingrained in your head, Then when you're at home in comfort and safety and performing some task, recall your list and think to yourself 'Which of my items would I NEED' to accomplish this if I were in the field, It helps you ascribe value to items you carry and also keeps your mind trained to assess your gears uses easily, It's like muscle memory training for your mind, mindfulness memory lol, Sure in a kitchen you'll just reach for the tin opener but imagine you only have a nail and maybe a small fingerthick twig...

A couple of those Sea to Summit-ish folding buckets. (or 3, or 4, or...) Priceless. An old school (literally) wall/desk mount pencil sharpener. One that only has two barrels and a metal container. Best thing ever for starting fires in heavy wind/rain situations. The container catches your twig shavings, ...then you stick your ferro rod in and give it a crank or two. Then dump out your lit shavings. Instant fire. Nothing got wet, ...nothing blew away. Not all barrels will spark a rod though. Some just chew it up. Might have to be the carbide ones. You just have to test them. Many will throw sparks like Chinese fireworks. Very handy. If it is winter, ...the longest, widest roll of aluminum foil you can possibly bear the weight of. Three long, green sticks fashioned like a small, three-legged radio tower. Start from the bottom and wrap up and around. Instant fireplace and chimney inside your shelter. Channels smoke up and out, ...and radiates heat the whole way. Two small pieces of aluminum tape will hold the whole thing together. Makes the smallest of fires 10 times more efficient. Plus has a multitude of other uses. Again, If you can handle the weight, ...Borax and boric acid added to hot water will make a flame retardant solution to help protect organic shelters from fire hazard. Might help you get some sleep. Death by fire would suck. I carry the weight. A small, quality pair of ratcheting pruning sheers. Ones that at least handle up to 1 inch diameter. Effortlessly cut plenty of things (especially branches) at high speed and quantity. Small, compact, safe. Again, ...priceless. A whole bag of big azz, thick party balloons. Use as bobbers (add a small glow stick at night), lanterns, containers, path/trail markers, float a signal/message down river, cover with clay then deflate to make a bowl, keep a hole in the ice from freezing shut, ...etc. Handy if you are. These and a hundred more in my new book entitled, ...(Just kidding. That's all I got right now. Lol.)

I am gonna have to try that Aluminum foil pipe...i would figure it would work a couple of times, till it is all used up...can't wait to give it a go. I really like that party balloon as an ice fishing hole plug (stop freezin) that is a great idea ! I am thinking that perhaps a garbage bag, filled with snow, would do the same ?? idk ?

[@JamieHitt]

@@kan-zee - The foil chimney/fireplace works best with smaller fires. All that foil heats up and radiates, ...so you don't need much of a fire. I just build mine like a cell/radio tower. Wide at the bottom, ...narrower at the top. Three main supports. With smaller crossmembers every so often. Cut a small slit into it to make the fireplace opening and fold it back a little. I foil wrap the poles for the first two feet for added protection. Longest I've used one is a week, but it never burned through. If you could avoid pines and such, the whole thing stays pretty reflective inside and out, ...so you get that mylar bounce back effect that keeps building up even with a small fire. Little bit of a quick bushcraft project but it's worth it. I tried the trash bag with snow, ...lol. It seemed like the dead air inside the balloon was a better insulator, ...and so much easier to get back out again. My trash bag wasn't perfectly round, ...so it just collected a mess of ice and snow around it. All I did was create a worse plug for my hole. Plus the balloon floats. It can't fall though and sink. Lol. But get the big balloons if you are on walking ice. The ice will be thicker than the smaller balloons. And the glow stick inside will help you find your hole in the dark. Tie a slip knot so you can deflate and reuse it.

Also if you are in an environment like a desert you can become depleted of salt, which is your main electrolyte. You'll drink and drink and drink water but won't retain any and you'll feel extremely weak. You can even die. Eating a pinch of salt will restore you if you've sweated it all out and begin to suffer. Fortunately it's extremely rare because we're always eating salty stuff, but salt post SHTF will be worth it's weight in gold especially as time goes on and on. Curing meats, seasoning, etc.

Makes a lot of sense. I myself would come across fences so my wire cutters are lighter than bolt cutters. Also in a bushcraft situation I have some ways of drilling holes in wood to secure whatever. I know tools are heavy but worth their weight if needed.

Celluloid guitar picks make good tinder also when scraped.

[@bcaffrey98]

So do the nuts in your trail mix. The oils/fats in the nuts are a good fuel. A cashew or walnut piece added to your tinder can help ignite larger twigs. Just don't eat them all. BTW: Save dryer lint in a ziploc baggie for a dry tinder.

@@mratlguy It probably depends on the Individual Walmart. I have one of the Super Centers about 4 miles from my house, and that's where I got mine. So check their Website for your stores by you and see if they have one. But a little "Buyer Beware". Mine puts the Sports Ones with the Rubber Straps on Display, but they had to dig out my Regular looking ones out of a Cabinet. I purchased two pairs with Side Shields, but I had them leave them off for one pair. So the ones on my face look like ordinary glasses, and I use the ones with Side Shields when I'm in the Shop, or doing work that might hurt my eyes, or at the Rifle Range, etc. Good news is that not only are mine Prescription, they're Bifocals! Yet the Lenses and Frames meet all of the Standards for Safety Glasses! I think I paid about $500 for 2 pairs AND the Eye Exam, which is not bad in 2019. Hope this helps. Oh, I also recommend that you put some kind of Neck string on the ones with the Side Shields. Yeah, you look like a Librarian, but you won't lose them if you take a Tumble or something like that.

I have things in my kits that I use often, even every day.

It could become a new currency when shtf. 4) A small, portable solar panel. 5) A camp shower (or stuff to make one.) A camp shower is basically a black bag with a hose coming out of it.

Excellent video, you have given me some things to think about. However hear me out on this. I was pretty excited to find out about titian cord. I saw a video review on it and have come to believe it's not that valuable. First to tease out enough fishing line to fish... it troublesome and unnecessary. Second cord is intended to be cord first and foremost. Putting alot of strain on it will stretch out the fishing line... and fracture the jute... the copper wire makes tying knots a bit more tricky as it stiffens the cord... I'd encourage you to use titian cord for a while before assuming it is useful. I'd suggest 550 fire cord as it doesn't matter if the jute fractures inside the sheath. As well as carry a spool of fishing line... and a spool of wire. (Or even premade snares.) You wont regret it. Agian great video, thanks again. I just subscribed and liked.
