Prepping For 72 Hour Wazoo Survival Challenge

[@ONThree]

What am I missing? What don’t I need? Am I nuts? Let me know what you guys think. Thanks so much for watching!

[@Shihabdeenrecreationalcyclist]

Medical stuff

[@jeroboam4486]

Duck tape.

[@bendover4496]

You can carry a bic lighter wrapped with duct tape. I’ve done it many times through multiple airports. I think the TSA is going to put the smack down on the hat & belt due to seeing the items on x-ray. This will be interesting for sure! Pre-COVID I flew all over the country once a month, every month. I’ve seen the TSA question items that are clearly noted on their website as being ok to fly with. It all depends on who you get & if their having a bad day or not.

[@mlinaje]

Plastic bag(s) like those people put in Altoids kits. Useful to collect things, including water

[@chris1638]

Can you put a jacket in that hat?😁

[@SwissArmyDan]

I would see if it's possible to add a small magnifying lens into your cap. Also, a couple alcohol prep pads, good for fire extending and to clean up any minor boo boo.

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

Great suggestions! It would be very easy to add one of those credit card sized fresnel lenses to the hat and that would be a great suggestion to Wazoo to carry. Wazoo sells patches that are themselves caches were out of stock last time I bought Wazoo gear so I can't test this but the fresnel lens might fit in the patch cache. For sure you could fit one in the hat. Alcohol prep pads would be easy to add to the hat too.

[@savageg4594]

I think in the video he said he wanted to use nothing more than what wazoo offered on their web site, but if I'm mistaken then those are great suggestions

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

@@savageg4594 yes I think that was the idea to just use Wazoo products. But still I love all the suggestions, because in the real world outside of an intentional challenge there are some great suggestions here that would be very useful. in fact, I need to find my fresnel lenses and add them to my caps! It's great to have a discussion like this because every else's ideas can trigger me to think of more things, in addition to their great ideas. :)

[@jlhjedi]

Replace the whetstone with a plastic bottle cutter cordage maker and also add some fishing lures to the exterior of your hat as functional decoration.

[@ONThree]

I like your style!

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

LOL, fishing lures as functional decoration -- brilliant!

[@RomaniRai]

An empty back pack could be useful? Even one of those small ones that fold up into itself. Doesn't offer any survival capacity but for ease of experience for the things you might collect or gather?

[@deoccupyhawaii6268]

The pendant can also sharpen fish hooks so might be worth wearing, especially with the fire steel mod

[@RagnaroksHomesteading]

I just opened up my birthday presents. The wife and kids got me the cap, belt, & adventure kit. Now my curiosity is really rolling and thinking up the possibilities.

[@ONThree]

Awesome! Happy Belated Birthday. Let me know what you think!

[@MegaHalftrack]

When you get off the plane, head to Lowes or Home Depot and buy a $4-$5 bow saw blade and place it in your wazoo belt. A 24 inch blade fits perfectly in my wazoo belt with everything else. Watch the CO weather. You may see snow at certain altitudes. Best of luck!!

[@ONThree]

Good idea!

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

Great idea! I have been thinking about putting a bow saw blade in my belt, I wasn't sure if would bend enough then go back to straight. I figured it would be out of the question because of the airport, but your suggestion is a great way to get around that.

[@MegaHalftrack]

Once you make your bushcraft bow saw, any bend in the bow saw blade from being in the wazoo belt is “pulled out” when you tension the bushcraft bow saw. I’ve also “flipped” my wazoo belt with bow saw blade so the inside if the belt is facing out for a few hours before using it and that too gets any “bends” out if the blade. Either way, it’s super easy to deal with. Good luck.

[@treerat6959]

Yeah but won't the saw teeth cut into the belt possibly causing to lose gear ?

[@MegaHalftrack]

If you buy the saw blade at Lowes, it comes with a plastic “shipping” sheath that bends with the saw blade when you place it in the wazoo belt. I add a little duck tape or gorilla tape to hold the plastic sheath in place. I’ve also ran a length of gorilla tape, doubled over it self along the blade too. Both work perfectly and I’ve never had a belt become worn or torn from the blade. Tape acts a fire starter as well.

[@Benwandeer]

daygo tags on lanyard, and dayglo dots on bottom of compasses. Easier to find if dropped aluminum foil packet in wallet , more water tablets airplane peamuts. Small binder paper clip to hold light on.

[@Benwandeer]

also last time I flew I got xrayed not metal detected Talk to airport people first

[@danielhickey9903]

duck tape and maybe a few plasters with alcohol prep pads. shemagh can be used for tones of things and counts as clothing

[@sajahb7444]

Can’t wait to get an update

[@davidswett4232]

55 gal, trash bag, the thin ones fit back pocket well - 1.3 mil.

[@islanddog211]

I'd pack a space blanket in the wahzoo belt.

[@ONThree]

It is on the list. Thanks!

[@savageg4594]

I commented yesterday on your survival dispatch version of this video, I would not leave the whetstone necklace behind. It gives you the capability to improvise a larger blade if you find the right piece of metal, plus it would be a backup to your backup for fire always better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it and maybe a few zip ties, and duct tape, instant coffee, maybe the cache beanie instead of the ball cap for the November cold in Colorado. .

[@ONThree]

Beanie is definitely on my list.

[@webb618]

This is AWSOME!! I don’t know about airport security but what do you think about a buck saw blade, extra tinfoil for a cup of hot tea, straws of peanut butter to bait traps, and of corse, duct tape. Maybe a couple of coffee singles for moral of there is room. They may not all be in the wazoo store, but it would showcase the belt to the fullest extent with common items. I’m excited. Good luck

[@ONThree]

Great ideas! Thanks!

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

Peanut butter straws are a great idea! Honey would be good too for some calories.

[@webb618]

@@user-bh3ew6ii4g nice

[@dustinhedglin2657]

Mylar blanket

[@journeyman7189]

Going to be a cool challenge and no matter how it works out it will be interesting video. If you want to use only Wazoo gear I would add the flat pack duct tape and if things really go south the handcuff key :) Nate

[@Wheeling88]

I see a cavity search in your near future via tsa.. 👍. I'd atleast take a metal water bottle with you. Just my .02.

[@ONThree]

Well I guess it would make an interesting video.

[@stephensgate1]

Can you please show us your neck knife? Would love to see who the maker is and your thoughts on it? Would be appreciated. -Stephen, Ohio

[@ONThree]

Video has been done. It will be posted soon. It is a mora eldris in a custom sheath of my crafting. Thanks for watching!

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

@@ONThree I was interested in that too. From the handle I thought it was an Eldris, but the sheath threw me off. Super nice sheath. I'd love to learn how to make them.

[@ONThree]

It is pretty easy. Requires a few special tools but overall it is inexpensive and fun to make your own sheathes.

[@jlhjedi]

They need to replace that bottle opener with either a dimple to use it as a bearing block or a stepped hex cutout to twist some bolt heads if you can. Bottle opener is terrible.

[@ONThree]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@matthewmchenry2889]

You're gonna end up doing a 72 hour TSA back room survival challenge.

[@ONThree]

Better pack some snacks I guess.

[@MarkHolmberg]

"You've been randomly selected for additional screening."

[@ONThree]

Ha! Let’s hope not.

[@atl3711]

Do you have any videos on the neck knife? What kind is it? Enjoying the content, brother!

[@ONThree]

Soon. It is a mora eldris.

[@gkm65]

Zombie Biker Pirates?!? I would watch that movie on repeat!

[@ONThree]

Me too!

[@independentprepper1]

Cool challenge good luck. I wouldn’t waste time with a fishing kit if you are bye a river just hand fish the time it would take you to get bait and a line out it’s just faster to get in the river with your hands and grab them under the gills. I will have to make a video on hand fishing in emergency thanks for the idea.

[@ONThree]

Thanks! A icy cold Colorado river at 7000+ feet in November. You sir are a tougher man than I. But seriously, send me the link when you make the video. I would love to check it out! Thanks for watching!

[@independentprepper1]

@@ONThree when I do will you hook me up with some free wazoo stuff. Cuz if you will I’ll do it my next day off next week

[@treerat6959]

I never had a wazo anything so don't even know about them lol but there are many things that can be added here. Defiantly your clothing will be your first line of protection so be sure it's wool and waterproof also a beany and gloves get leather gloves with wool liners you will be breaking up branches the gloves will protect your hands. If I was to buy anything they would be a metal canteen drinking vassal, pocket knife or better yet a machete with 6" file .

[@BlackthornBushcraft]

Zombie, biker, pirates are no joke... looking forward to this.

[@garysapper8716]

mylar space blanket in the hat.

[@ONThree]

That will most likely be the case. Thanks!

[@outcomeagent]

I know you want to use wazoo exclusive stuff...but I would highly suggest a grim workshop card with a knife punch out. I think wazoo has great stuff but I also think they have room to expand and something like that would demonstrate the gaps that they have in product. Honestly I think a larger ceramic arrowhead would be great something along the design lines of the esee ah1. Honestly I think part of the point of this experiment is to see what they can improve on so limiting yourself to what they sell may defeat the point

[@ONThree]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@larrylightle9108]

Wont the fishing kit and saw in your belt set of the metal detector ?

[@ONThree]

I will probably take it off and run it through the scanner. We will see. Nothing in there that should get red flagged. You can carry lighters on planes and other items. Should not be a problem but wish me luck!

[@robertbates6057]

Yep! You're nuts!

[@phillipmerritt1428]

You’re saying you don’t know where that through security? None of that stuff is metal detectors? Are you gonna text ship it out there or send it out there and then get it on in and leave the airport

[@ONThree]

I plan on wearing it. Wish me luck!

[@MichaelR58]

Good video , thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@jamesoates3881]

Nothing worse than a depressed Flashlight!

[@alanrice39]

Will you try obtaining survival items along the way, such as a knife.If u just find useful items along the way that could enhance your survival, will you try to obtain them? Just curious. Alan R.

[@ONThree]

Still up in the air. I like the idea of trying to obtain items after arrival.

[@SpamMusubi308]

Clothing; long sleeve t-shirt(could always cut sleeves shorter), larger flannel shirt(large ↠ xlarge), 3/4 length parka type shell, large bandanas, buff, thin gloves, fresnel lens in wallet, a travel toothbrush and dental floss, and a hinged knee brace (concealed saw and blade), swap out folded wire saw with one unfolded saw sealed in paper and tape sachet, add plastic gorge style hooks to fishing kit, could go on but you get the idea. Great plan take and use minimalist kit, not a fan of the macho posturing BS you do you best of luck.

[@ONThree]

Thanks for the tips! Much appreciated. Ha! I’ll work on being less macho.

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

@@ONThree Female perspective here, you're just the right amount of macho a.k.a. real man.

[@charlessalmond7076]

If you get some friends together y'all can charter a plane, avoid TSA, and spend about the same on the flight.( I haven't done this in over ten years so, I'm not sure if the math will still work out on this.)

[@mrhalfstep]

If you're going to carry the wallet with ID and a fishing license why not include a survival card or two, as well? Would tucking a disposable poncho or space blanket into a back pocket, like a handkerchief, be breaking you rules? I carry a poncho in my back pocket all the time for the obvious reason of staying dry, but also, is cushions my smart phone when I sit on it and, I feel, helps prevent it from breaking. And lastly, when I use the flashlight in my belt, I usually just bite it and point with my head. Looking forward to your adventure series.

[@jovenalasis4468]

I am not sure you can bring ceramic blades inside a plane. I would not want you getting into trouble with the law.

[@dutchvanderbilt9969]

I would like to point out that depending on where you live a fishing kit might not be a viable piece of kit.

[@ONThree]

Agreed. The fishing kit in this video is also a sewing kit. Pretty handy no matter where you live.

[@AMERICANPRIDE1100]

Ughh crazy without a real knife but maybe you can do it. wear a shemaugh around your neck to cover you face from the cold and a possible sling or bandage many uses I always carry my edc flashlight on planes no reason you couldn’t it’s just a normal thing you shouldn’t be doing abnormal things if you always carry it you always have it so I don’t see the point that way you can leave 1 of the little lights behind fit more tablets or maybe some duct tape

[@ONThree]

I like the way you think!

[@chris1638]

Sweeet!

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

Awesome but burrrrrr

[@homeschooldaddyjournal9839]

Is money even a thing in a real world survivor scenario? Are you going to find the ONE kwiki mart open? I mean...

[@ONThree]

Well I guess since I’m making up the scenario, I make the rules. If I say the wiki mart is open, then it’s open.
