Given the arbitrary nature of pricing for most products of this nature, the idea that I am somehow getting a $75.00 "value" for $45.00 does tend to cause me to roll my eyes and snicker. It is remarkable the bullshit people come up with to try to market garbage nobody wants.

You shouldn't do any more survival boxes because you take very important things and just thrown to the side like they're nothing I don't know if it's just to act or if you really don't know anything about survival but those tools you kind of just throw to the side on the floor and don't act excited about like this saw wire to me knowing what I know about survival it's saw wire will be a more important tool than that knife that you seem so happy about knives pretty important too but that saw wire to build a shelter with way more important you'll necessarily need a knife to be able to eat a fish or eat an animal you can tear into an animal with your hands and your teeth and when you're hungry enough you will do that without any problem or die it's just that simple

Great vids! Awesome channel!… my only recommendation would be to turn up the volume a few more notches in editing. Hey, I’m no expert so please know this is no complaint lol… I just have to turn most of these episodes up to max volume and while watching end up pushing it again, forgetting it was at max already. That’s all, just a volume thing. When volume is at max and a commercial starts on these episodes it is a very wild change 😝😊

Interesting factoid about the last public French execution. In the crowd was a young English man, who'd go on to join the SAS in WW2 and then become the absolutely banging actor we all knew and loved: Christopher Lee.

@Michael It does if you watched the video and aren't stupid. Eugen Weidmann was the last public execution in France, in June 1939 and Christopher Lee was present. I mean, I really do not know how that doesn't make sense when it literally happened.

In regards to staff/inmate ratio, at the state prison that I used to work at, we had an imate population of roughly 1,500. At our lowest, my shift (Alpha Card night shift) had 12 people. If you take into account mandatory posts, this left 1 officer per yard (our facility had an upper and lower yard), which meant 1 officer had to watch over approx. 700 inmates. I left in early 2020 (roughly a month before C19 hit the system, dodged a proverbial bullet there) to preserve my mental health. I've heard it's gotten better since they got rid of the corrupt top brass and brought in a respectable Warden. I really hope it has, for the sake of my friends still there. As for me, I'm not going back.

The best way to avoid dealing with prisons like these is to NOT COMMIT CRIMES... no sympathy for these people as they clearly made their choices in life.

There is a prison in Venezuela that has a Discoteque, bank, restaurant, zoo, etc. etc. The interesting thing is that when a girl OD at the discoteque, the Minister in charge of prisons, Iris Varela, was surprised at the outrage of the public for the existance of the discoteque. I personally saw this on the news on TV.

"Bangkok Hilton". A former - that is, until this his voyage (I despise drugs) - friend of mine spent 8 years there for trafficing drugs. While he did smuggle the drugs is was a clear setup to let him get caught, probably to let someone else clear trough customs. His original death sentence eventually got changed to "life in prison". After some years an arrangement was made with our government to let him serve the maximum prison time of Denmark (16 years) without possibility of early probation pr parole, so that he would serve half this time in Thailand/ Bangkok Hilton and the other half in Denmark (8 years in each). He described Bangkok Hilton as having the most horroble immaginable conditions, and his family had to raise large amounts of money for bribing the guards and others to protect him to enable at least his survival, otherwise he would have been dead in prison without long. He must be out now but I have had no contact with him since this his voyage.

Simon's Bespoke Post knife has a gut hook! I didn't know you were a hunter, Simon. Although living in the country with the second highest firearm ownership must be molding you into a killer. Come to Idaho. We will help you stalk and harvest a year's worth of lean red meat, all free-range to the extreme.

I wasn't a hunter... But over several days the knife started whispering to me, saying that I must get back to nature, that I must return to the ways of my ancestors, that I must rejoin them. Next thing I know I wake up in the forest with a half eaten elk next to me feeling more powerful than ever.

In the early 19th century, prison reformers in Pennsylvania replaced the then-current barbaric environment with an explicitly 'penitentiary' model. Prisoners were kept in solitary confinement to enable them to reflect and repent of their crimes. It was discovered that this was even more damaging to their mental and emotional health than the cruel treatment it replaced.

Hey Guys - love the vids and I'm a regular viewer, but could you PLEASE be just a little more specific with your sponsorship spots? Bespoke Post looks BRILLIANT, I've signed up and done the questionnaire, only to stumble at the final hurdle because they only ship to USA and Canada, and I'm in Australia!!! It would be really good if you could mention restrictions like this during the sponsor spot, because then a significant portion of your international viewership won't waste time trying to access the sponsored product. Cheers!

Simon Whistler was held in a North Korean prison for sitting down in front of a picture of Kim Jong IL. They tossed Mr. Whistler in the camp, thirty minutes later the guards ran out screaming like scared women. Mr. Whistler was immediately rolled out a red carpet to a waiting helicopter and given transportation to wherever in the world he chose to go. The supreme leader writes Mr. Whistler a formal apology every day, and makes pleas begging for his safety.
