@Drew Peacock One writer who served for many years in the SAS was appalled at the condition of others who were candidates to become SAS troopers.

saying “I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze” is the coolest thing I have ever heard someone say and applies to so many things. Its a phrase I am going to immediately start saying all the time and if anyone questions me I will be adamant in claiming I have said this phrase my entire life. I could explain to them where I learned the phrase but quite frankly I don’t think the juice is worth the squeeze on that one.

All the other preparedness changed m channels seem to be some know-it-all giving a testosterone-fueled sermon about how everything he does it's right. But you just look at the camera and calmly dispense vital information like you actually want to help me. Almost all of that information is opinion, but it's the opinion of someone who has a great deal of experience to draw from. Then you explain that our experience, skill-set, and environment probably differ, so we should educate ourselves accordingly. I love this channel! 5 stars. Highly recommend.

i like that the focus is on moving and not staying in one spot and "survive" there. thats not the main objective for me, usually its about covering a distance. this is the most useful video i've found on youtube covering that topic.

[@FT4Freedom]

This is why we're lightweight on gear and minimalist and efficient. Because we are moving.

[@patrickhenry8425]

In a non-permissive environment, movement is life.

[@scratchy996]

I'd also recommend a pair of gloves. It's good to make walking sticks early on, it makes moving more efficient and safer over rough terrain, but they will give you blisters over time (unless you take your time to make good ones). You can also injure your hands on rough terrain. Taking care of your hands and feet is crucial, and gloves don't weigh much.

[@kurohikes5857]

I got homegirl to watch your videos and now she has a bug out bag in her car with the 10 C's and she learning how to use all the gear. She really impressed me when she showed me how she learned to use a ferro rod - she learned watching one of your videos! Thank you, man! ✊🏾

[@alfred1925]

Where I live it's pretty rainy so stuffing a bivvy bag with leaves isn't very appealing. What I did was bought a closed cell foam mat, cut it a bit narrower, shorter, then cut it into 3 pieces so it fits in my back pack. It doesn't have the versatility of a bivi bag but it must be lighter. Obviously it means you need a bigger rucksack. I carry everything but the kitchen sink, but it 'only' weighs 24lbs. This includes a tent, sleeping bag (the short type that only comes up to your waist, I'll carry an insulated jacket apart from in summer)), stove, cooking pot, gas, wood stove, monocular, fishing kit, wood saw, power pack for phone, solar lamp, phone charger, candle, vaseline + cotton balls, ferro rod, several lighters, sewing kit, gaffa tape, insect repellant, you name it! My rucksack is 50l and weighs 1.5kg (kelty Redwing).

[@svenneu7736]

Camping is Prepping.

[@rengamesitout]

In case you can't find tactical survival training in your area, for the trauma and emergency care, you can take an EMR (Emergency Medical Responder), or ECA course. It's basically the Certification course under EMT-B. You'll learn everything from basic trauma care, splinting, shock prevention, medical terminology, etc. You might not want to work in the medical field with the certification you obtain, but you'll become familiar with emergency care. You could always just purchase a used textbook, in case you don't want to take a whole course.

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

Corresponding blog for more info: graybeardedgreenberet.com/green-berets-ultralight-bug-out-bag-2-0/ For everyone who will ask, firearms don't belong inside a bag which is what this video is limited to. If you are in a situation where you need one, it should be on your hip or at the ready, not stuffed in your bag. This is also a baseline packing list that is applicable to most. It is up to you to tailor it to your skill level and environment. There is no such thing as a one-sze-fits-all checklist for a bag that is applicable to everyone in every environment.

[@rickscully9533]

You really can't fix stupid sir!

[@JasonAguirre]

This is why I never cared for the idea of separate bags for levels of preparedness that many prepper videos do. I have some decent gear but there's been many times when I found myself in situations where it would have helped but was sitting in a pack or on a shelf at home. Much better to have a versatile pack with kits which can be expanded but will always have the minimum you need. Just as with keeping the gun on your hip, having a tool/supply buried in a pack where you can't get to it or have to search is of zero use. In fact I would say if you have to dig through your gear to find something, 1) you don't know your kit well enough and 2) you brought too much crap.

By bank line do you mean trot line, other than that I think I kept pace. And I loved your comments on tent spikes.

My sleep kit is much the same too, except I used what’s called Hootchie cords here in Australia. Double them up and tie a knot every 2-3 inches, and u have ur self an self-tensioning/ adjustable shelter tie-down cord. Can be used as a clothes line for drying clothes without the need for clothes pegs.

Just read your article on weight versus functionality and price.

Those who condemn others for not buying the popular stuff seem to forget the main goal is to survive not to impress others. Very insightful and helpful to viewers. Most everything I have was purchased on sale, clearance or brand new from Goodwill. It's not junk mind you, but decent gear and this has allowed me to acquire some equipment I might otherwise not have.

[@kennethquesenberry2610]

I've carried a first aid kit ever since getting out of the army fifty years ago. I've used it while in the woods just about once. But after thinking the whole thing over from scratch, I realized that it really was inadequate for what I needed it for and that it was unnecessary for what it was good for. So I substituted an army field dressing and a few band-aids. My thinking was that the serious injury that I might possibly deal with was either a piercing wound or a bad slashing wound, neither of which my old kit could handle. Even so, I still believe that the most likely serious injury in the woods would be a bad fall and I don't know what you could carry to deal with that, except maybe pain killer. As it is, I've twice had a fall bad enough to see a doctor. But those both happened at home. I've concluded that it's safer in the woods. I still bring along my older kit when travelling and it stays in the car.
