Here is the summer version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joLNkmiGncmgY5o

[@theblindsniper9130]

I hope that none of us have to deal with situations that call for this knowledge, but I am very glad that people like you take the time to give us the knowledge for in case it does happen.

[@markaugust5342]

My favorite channel on SHTF prep and training

[@aidanvasquez995]

Currently, the trend seems to be "hyper-light" packs and packing. I live in Alaska and throw those opinions, as well as trends, to the wind.

[@recceborat]

@@aidanvasquez995 ultralight is for hiking, but what's wrong with more modern, lighter gear?

[@tonydijock151]

Just did my second 36 mile ruck hike and camp learned even more this trip and was even easier that last time we scanned for streams of water locations to Filter last time we went miles until we found a water spot and cramping was no joke, even if you see a spot finish what you have then resupply. And maps may not always be right on there legend ours was off by 2 miles

[@bushnut8305]

It seems for every 100 klicks north you go, packs get larger in winter months. In January where I live I'm pulling a sled.

[@stretchman490]

The pathfinder school is/was selling a lightweight poncho frame, made for use with a survival blanket. For minimalist setups, it might work better than regular poles, if you have some tie offs.

[@trooperjinthewoods4538]

My team carries alcohol stoves for OP's- I just can't drink cold coffee. We also carry folding shovels and very small folding saws as well as 5 to 10 sandbags a peace . SOP. Cheers

[@SilverShamrockNovelties]

It’s not about what kind of stove you use. The smell of hot coffee carries a surprisingly long distance.

[@Hellbender21]

Get off coffee habit. When you do get it, it'll be more beneficial...talking to myself as much as you. Essayons

[@GruntProof]

Yup, I forgot to mention an Etool

[@rogerjensen5277]

@@SilverShamrockNovelties You don't brew instant coffee and if you're going to be out (running with the little animals) then a sure-fire way to boil water is IMHO a must! Gardia is no joke!

[@skeetwebster9389]

Thanks for being willing to share your knowledge

[@xisotopex]

water seems to be the limiting factor... we need about 3 liters a day to keep from becoming dehydrated... carrying 3 liters is enough for one day, after that you would need some way to re supply. cant live very long without water.

[@MylesKillis]

The honest answer is you shouldn’t be traveling unless you already have a planned stop for water or the logistics train to sustain operations

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

Good stuff!! I run a very similar and practical setup of things with some minor differences.

[@twboegel2918]

The list ... where's the list?

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

@@twboegel2918 I have a video on my larger LRRP Ruck packing items. Day/ Patrol pack is the essentials, again similar to what Randall has here with just a couple different things based on my environment and climate needs.

[@preacher1776]

I use, at 7:00, a similar lens that starts red, around my neck. Good to have and gives better illumination than having it on your head.

[@preparedcitizens]

Man that’s some great ideas and a lot of stuff that should be standard for sure. Excellent video brother.

[@timmytomiltonthyfourhundred20]

These are my favorite kinds of videos. Will be watching this one later.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Good stuff amigo. Ya killing it.

[@GruntProof]

🍻

[@atilliar]

Could you do a video on how you set up your poncho? The ties you use, how you tie off your hood, the bungie cords you suggest etc?

[@recon1986]

I use a 3x magnifier on my rifle but on my plate carrier I also have binos in a canteen pouch

[@kirklunsford7530]

When I need sticks, I believe the saw would be better than chopping, snapping or batonning Though carving off a stick would be the quietest.

[@melissasmess2773]

Looking forward to the Feldlugen German clothing thingy. Great cold weather survival information, thanks!

[@mailpool7825]

It is called a Jerven Fjellduken and it is not german, its from Norway.

[@elgrannomadeo]

I think the british basha (tarp) is design to be used as an emergency stretcher. It is reinforced and has loops for it. Have anyone used one? One man can carry it instead of the poncho

[@MasterK9Trainer]

I just subscribed recently because I found myself watching your videos these last few days and I like the stuff you talk about the things you say but I live in hot as hell Florida. So your stuff about survival and fighting is all good but it would be nice if you could talk about warm weather sometimes what's surprised me about Florida when I first moved here some years ago it said it's more like the woods of Virginia than I imagined but with the tropical plants comes a lot of nasty Tangled stuff and lots of bugs.

[@GruntProof]

I use a netted hammock in the tropics

[@Trash_panda_real]

I always used the mre coffee like dip because I hate cold coffee.

[@VETERANPREPPER1]

Carry 30’ of 1” nylon tubular webbing and a climbing grade carabiner for improvised litter.

[@Alaska610ish]

Thank you for the truth Brad.

[@twinarrowssurvival.2.065]

This is the one I have been wanting for..

[@SilverShamrockNovelties]

I dunno, man. JayBlanco says you can’t use night vision without shining a big freakin IR flashlight at your adversary. He says it’s smart and there’s no way you’ll get shot doing that.

[@twboegel2918]

[@kde439]

your vids are fantastic. How about a vid for the working poor. what gear when you dont have 600. to spend ? what gear after your rifle, a handgun & good knife ?

[@jeredhersh789]

Military surplus is definitely your friend here. The old ACU stuff is very cheap and can be dyed or painted to get rid of the god awful camo pattern.

[@motolicious12]

This isn't JUST a SHTF, RWOL, INCH, or bugout Minuteman bag. This is a "March through June in Oklahoma" bag. Tornado season sucks. Yes, I said season.

[@jhosk]

Video didn't show up in my feed, is a reason i go to specific channels daily to check for content.

[@TacticoolVIKINGBeard]

I thought about getting a drone and learning to use it and i found a semi decent general purpose drone for about 250$ but im trying to play with my fighting and sustainment loadout and test stuff out first but i do feel that a drone could be a usable piece of equipment

[@Mcslap13]

Is that pouch big enough for PVS-14 bridged with a thermal?

[@OhadjeiBratton-z5k]

QUESTION... I have two older canteens with the cover and cup. They have the alice clips. How did you connect those canteens to your chest rig???. Are the molle or Alice? These canteens are basically new, I'd hate to replace them....

[@oldsoldier181]

Those are the newer MOLLE ones. I am sure you can attach the older ALICE ones to the PALS webbing. MOLLE is far more secure though. And less floppy.

[@GruntProof]

👍🏻

[@jeffbrown9648]

You could also use the Alice to molle adapters. They are inexpensive.

[@SURVIVOR-og6dl]

The camera is bright on its screen, no? How do you mitigate that?

[@couchcamperTM]

I still wonder, who told you that the thermal cloak has no reflective inner? xD Probably a Jerven employee? ;-) I have it right here, next to me, the silver side staring at me in disbelieve. 😀And both are waterproof, not just a bit, and set up in an angle. I once had a prototype tarp of the Norwegian army, a poncho-sized tarp made of the Jerven material, it was absolutely rainproof. (I shouldn't have sold it, 15 pieces ever made, such a rare collectors item... *sigh* ) They decided to just stay with the Jerven bag, it's more versatile than just a tarp. Especially the version without insulation and a woobie or something similar instead. I have years of experience with both and I wonder, why you were warm in one and freezing in the other. Could it have been the shape you were in at that day? Oh and btw youtube wanted to keep this video a secret, back to the roots, it all went to well for about a year lol

[@williamneal7210]

The reason we don't put anything like a drink mix in a canteen isn't because it will harm the canteen, it's because if we get gassed, or a haboob blows in I need a way to flush out my eyes or one of my teammates eyes, fresh clean water is imperative and electrolytes ain't a gonna help that...to say the least Oh, and speaking teammates and sleeping with your boots on at an OP, at the FOB one of my teammates INSISTED his sleep time was HIS sleep time and he always, ALWAYS, slept in the raw. One morning watch called out "contact right" and I grabbed my rifle, jumped out of bed and headed to the rifle fire. No sooner had I started to engage I saw this flash of white out of the corner of my eye, and there was Deek, in all his natural glory, carrying his rifle and wearing only his pistol belt with a mag holder strategically positioned to preserve his..um...modesty. His ghastly ghost white-ass body blazing away into the night also stood out like some kind of wraith from hell. Deek never "changed his ways", and somehow he survived, got back to the world, and has a gorgeous wife and three beautiful kids (which if they read this some day, "Uncle Whiskey" loves you guys) 💖💖💖

I realize you're using Liters as a unit of measurement a lot in this video and now I'm curious as to why you opt to do that as opposed to the average American who isn't going to touch metric units with a ten-foot-pole?

[@RavenRedwood]

Why such low magnification on the binos? Just curious

It's just the pair I've had for 20 years and never needed to buy another one.

[@Grizzly907LA]

Instead of trying to find sticks for a shelter, you can bring 1 or two trekking poles, and use them to make your low to ground plow point. The bush crafters would crap their pants if they couldn't a saw or an axe to cut stuff down with.
