Hello everyone! Hope you are having a great new year! Thanks to all of you who are faithfully supporting the channel and for all your kind comments. I look forward to seeing many of you in classes this year. Make sure and check out waypointsurvival.com/ for all the details!

[@kurtbaier6122]

I use a car reflective windshield sun shield inside the hammock. Just make sure you secure one end with p -cord through a reinforced hole with duct tape so it doesn’t tear. That way it won’t slide down in the hammock. Make sure the shield extends from head to 6 inches below your butt. You can sew matrerial to one side of the sun shield to make it stronger and less prone to tear. That sun shield can take you down to 40F, 30F in a pinch but you will feel some of the cold coming through, but better than no insulation at all. A poncho liner with the SOL double size mylar heat sheet safety pinned to it makes an excellent under quilt, over quilt, or tarp in a pinch as well. Sew a zipper in the poncho liner for your head to pass through and cut a slit in the SOL mylar heat sheet as well, and then reinforce the mylar with packaging tape and you have a extra survival garment. That’s what I have been doing for years.

Hi James! Thank you for producing this KZbin. Very informative. Something I don’t thing you mentioned about the shoulder bag/haversack is that it is ambidextrous, meaning you can wear it over either shoulder. So many sling bags are only one sided. My experience with one of those is you have to either get two to balance your shoulder workout (and why not just get a backpack??), or you have to keep them loaded very light. Thanks again and Cheers, my Brother James!

i thought i`d pass this tip on in order to help others. i bought several of the Molle Water-Bottle Pouches to provide our dog Bella, with water on real hot days. Of which we have had plenty. There is room enough for a metal bowl in the zipup top section for her needs, and 1 Lt of water too. I bought from a Seller in China and saved lots of money,however the three Molles i bought smelt like rotten fish when they were delivered by the Mailman. ___ i sorted it quite easily i made some bags up with soft kitchen paper and sellotape,then filled them with Restaurant grade lump wood charcoal and placed them in those rather smelly pouches. I dangled them from a gate in one of our tiny gardens so the sun and fresh air would also be a big help too. Well we certainly needed it. Two days went by and they all smell fresh as daisy`s now. i guess charcoal left over from a camp fire could also be used. Anyway brother i am being a bit long winded.____ i love watching your video`s especially this one. From the evergreen gardens that are our part of Fiddle Wood UK, this has been little o`l me BB.

Brother James, I have a real down home southern HOBO cooking challenge for ya. My Daddy used to cook something he called hoe cake bread. For years I thought he was saying whole cake bread untill I seen a cooking show one day all about what hoe cake bread was and where it originated. The cotton pickers would bring some flour and cornmeal or whichever they had into the fields with them to work and mix up a thick batter with water and salt if they had a little and then they'd put their iron hoe over a small fire and get it good and hot. Then they'd put the batter on the hot hoe and cook up a piece of fresh bread kinda like a big thick pancake right there in the field for lunch! So how about it, you think you can do a episode on authentic hoe cake bread cooked on a small fire on a iron hoe? Have a blessed day and I look forward to watching this episode.

Man, that seems like it would be miserable to carry for any length of time!

[@WayPointSurvival]

It really doesn't bother me. I wouldn't want it to be much heavier or I would definitely just use a small backpack.

Where would I fly to from Cali to take your Phase I class? Bighton, MA? I would not rent a car and I do use an all-terrain walker. But I'm fairly experienced due to my youth with a rugged dad and years of hiking, especially with some difficult trips in the Sierra -Nevada Mountains with Sierra Club in my middle age. I still hike and go on triking trips too! Might I re-imburse someone to ride with? (I even had other hikers ride-share with me in my new car who did not pay--and I was too meek then to ask them to pay up and stop using me as a free taxi!). My doc says I will live until 105 b/c I have excellent bloodwork, exceptional blood pressure, and have athlete's bradycardia i.e. slow heartbeat due to the heart muscle being so fit it beats less often b/c of its ability to pump more volume with each heartbeat. Planning on climbing Mt. Whitney again this year, just will take longer.

Cincinnati would be the best airport. Thanks for watching!

What about a fishing kit

I have a separate video on that.
