A dark wool blanket is a great way to cover your items in the backseat or cargo area. Can't see what's in there, kinda looks like the floor or empty seats, especially in combination with tinted windows. In addition, it acts as a great piece of survival gear and in my truck, it keeps the road dust and sunlight off everything.

[@nobodymotos]

I used to do that now I use my dog hammock seat cover. Doesn't look like your hiding anything and it covers the seat and floor board

[@MasterK9Trainer]

I am considering a false bottom and creating spaces like Analytical Survivor did in his wife's sedan. I drive a small car, so anything in it tends to make it cramped for passengers.

[@wes.b.815]

Survival Theory ...great idea

[@death299]

nah, even laying stuff flat you can tell something is underneath it's actually less effective than a cargo cover since you have to guess if something is under the cover, but with blanket's and linen objects you really don't..it's just a gamble if it's worth breaking into the vehicle for

[@SurvivalTheory]

With my tinted windows and dark wool blanket, all you see is darkness, even during the day....so you can't tell if something is underneath. You can't even see the blanket. Basically, it looks empty. Its very effective.

[@RSPDiver]

Very smart to keep insurance and registration in the visor, especially when carrying. If you get pulled over it’s way better than fumbling in a console or glove box, ESPECIALLY if you are identified as a CWP holder.

[@SensiblePrepper]

Definitely! I want to LEO to be relaxed when he walks up to the window : ) Thanks Brother

[@LordSStorm]

RSPDiver good idea, but he’s also got a knife up there. I don’t like the idea of having to reach into any area with a weapon around a LEO.

[@jelkel1928]

I keep my hands chilling on the top / sides of wheel the whole time while talking. Then when they ask for papers I say "yes officer, I'm going to grab those now." It seems to make them really calm. Also I have noticed keeping the car extremely clean puts them at ease

[@adkmtns5726]

No more. I said to myself.. I'M READY NOW .. I wish we could spend rest of our lives in peace and harmony but don't bet on it.. be prepared (within reasons) for You, your Family and our country.. God Bless

[@matthewtilley7224]

I realize I’m late to the party but one thing I though of in relation to keeping bags in your vehicle is to purchase bags that match the color of your vehicles upholstery. This may help camouflage your bags from someone looking in. Just a thought

[@snick3896]

That was my thought exactly. I bought a black EDC bag that fits under my back seat in the truck. With my tinted windows you can see the side of it at all. Plus I put a pistol lock loop through the grab handle and lock it to my seat.

[@TexasScout]

Regarding road rage, it’s always a good idea to have a dash cam in your car or truck. They’re cheap as dirt now and it’s good insurance to show that you were the one that kept your head when the other person didn’t.

[@SkinnyMedic]

[@carcetera6835]

Well done organization. I've begun a more emergency-prepared project with my car starting with flashlights and came up with all sorts of 3D printed mounts to keep them (all 8) secured as not to become ballistic in the event of a crash or rollover, but equally importantly they're all not taking up any of the usable space in the vehicle so I still got all my storage spaces and such. I think most preppers don't realize any unsecured objects in the event of a wreck can become quite dangerous to the occupants inside. There are reports of even cell phones cracking skulls once they go flying around the inside of a vehicle in a crash.

[@gasser2348]

[@SensiblePrepper]

[@johnspace1876]

One thing I've found with SD cards is that with car cameras it is important to use a card that is made for video. The cheaper cards will literally burn out. The video files wear out the write sectors of the medium and the camera cannot tell there is an error on the card.

[@rifleshooterchannel208]

john panoulias Ironic coming from Sootch considering he has multiple videos where he gleefully describes his racism and anger issues. Like when some guy parked too close to him in the parking lot so Sootch decided to take it upon himself to try and chase him down with his vehicle. Or the “black kids” in the movie theater that were talking too loud being the reason Sootch is “happy he has his gun”.

[@farstrider79]

Good point on not advertising that your carrying a bunch of stuff in your vehicle. When a crook sees Glock stickers all over a vehicle that's unattended, it screams "there's a $500 gun in here!"

[@EricSmith-lj7ln]

The tactical hummer doesn't give anything away though

[@preparedness704]

I recently added a tire plug kit and portable electric air compressor to my SUV as essential items. I had never really thought about it until recently and your comment about getting flat spare out reinforces the usefulness of those items. I also added one of those portable batteries you can hook up to your car battery to jump start it several times.

Absolutely. Keeping your guns secured behind glass with just the false piece of mind that people can't see them gives you is no where near responsible.

[@mikeaye8998]

I was just going to suggest locking the glove box and only keeping a gun in there. He mentioned carrying one on him, so he has that in case he needs it quickly. The concept of "I won't be heartbroken if my truck gets broken into and I lose this" is not taking into consideration 1. The gun is now in the possession of a criminal 2. If that gun is used to hurt or kill someone and then gets left at the scene of the crime, you are now liable because your fingerprints are on it. Even if you report it stolen, you're a person of interest in the best-case scenario or the only suspect in the worst-case scenario. Preparedness and responsibility go hand-in-hand.

[@tboland728]

Some states they are mandatory i believe

[@kmchuckles4783]

I like how you mentioned the security aspect of carrying weapons in your vehicle, as well as the legal aspects of initiating a conflict that could turn deadly.

Being prepared is no joke. A few years back, sometime between 2018 and 2020, a coworker of mine who is originally from Seattle was telling us about violent protests going on in the city and how her having a firearm on her kept her and her kids safe. She said people were breaking into cars and some guys set their sights on her and she put her .357 on the dash and they backed off. I know that could be considered brandishing but at the time that act of aggression saved her and those guys a lot of trouble. Remember, when seconds count police are minutes away

You ever get in a serious accident, and all of that stuff on the sun visor is going to go flying around the cabin like shrapnel. And it's going to be right next to your head. A lot of people don't realize how loose (or semi-secure) items become missiles on impact. Yes, even a large vehicle like this.

[@nobodymotos]

John Grytbakk sun isn't really thatt bad unless it sits for years. Rain and temp changes are much worse.

[@Chukijay]

Remy Gedrose the sun being on one spot on that tire will degrade it considerably faster. It will look alright but will deflate 20 miles down the road.

The sun is the worst enemy of that tire, by far.

[@bosse641]

Wise.

[@nobodymotos]

J W I should of said as long as it doesn't sit in one position. With sun consistently in beating on it..... If the sun was so hazardous to tires wouldn't the ones you drive on be bad too? Yes if it sits for years it will be bad but it's a full sized spare it should be circulated every time you buy new tires.

[@Charismafire]

A couple takeaways from this video. First and foremost thanks for mentioning keeping your head cool when you're carrying. I once watched a fellow mouth off to the wrong person. He didn't know that she was a second degree black belt until she broke his nose with front snap kick. It was hysterical until he look like he was going to bleed to death. Second of all I think it's smart to have two trauma kits. One is in your go bag and that's smart in case you have to abandon your vehicle in a hurry. Also what if you have to help someone else. Don't want to use all your supplies on them and have nothing for yourself. Lastly, I noticed all the flashlights. This is definitely smart. Always have more than one and in multiple places. If you lose your flashlight in the dark you need another flashlight to find it. Yes I learned that lesson the hard way. Also remember to rotate out that ammunition if it's left in extreme temperatures. The batteries too. Peace

As a motorcycle rider that carries while I ride, the road rage part resonated with me. Earlier today even, some lady seemed to miss all the “lane ends” signs and wound up nearly putting her back wheels on my neck. I was paying attention so I was ready for her, but wasn’t expecting her to cut back in front of me so fast. Anyways, I avoided her and let her gain some distance on me while I cooled off. Me and my motorcycle weigh less than 1000 pounds, we’re not winning any arguments on a highways 😂

Here in California if you don’t have a CCW it’s illegal to keep an unloaded handgun inside a locked pistol safe in your trunk “just in case” you need it.

[@edwardcnnell2853]

From the days in my work truck, which sometimes meant being out in the boonies, my rule was this truck does not stop. To this end things to keep the truck going were kept in the truck. First thing was a can of gas. At least a 1 or 2 gallon can but if there was room a 5 gallon can. Tire patches and a can of inflate a flat. Small hand tools to work on vehicle as needed as well as a simple, inexpensive volt/ohm meter. A jump start battery, a tow strap if I could get someone to pull me out ( used it to help others as well, comes in real useful). Extra road flares, more than I thought I would need and the long burning type. Good for safety if you are working on vehicle on the side of the road or for making myself visible, signaling. Extra batteries because I may use them to fix truck). I had a company truck and the brake pads for that model often failed and ground out the rotor. Carried extra pads and changed them on the side of the road several times. In the old days I carried an extra fan belt which today would be a serpentine belt. I also kept drinks and food, blanket and extra dry cloths. But if I could keep the truck going then those supplies for being stranded may not be needed.

[@CircaSriYak]

If for some reason you have to stay put (while applying pressure for a trauma victim let's say), and ask someone else to go get your IFAK for you, life will be made a lot easier if it's easily found. There would be nothing more annoying or potentially deadly than someone coming back saying "Uhh, where is it again?"

[@kentfreier5705]

I'm a little late on this, but I'd like to add to the list if you don't mind, due to some recent personal experience. A High-Lift Jack. Used vertically or horizontally to get out of a mud hole. A come-a-long to get out of a mud hole. A long tow strap to extend the Come-a-Long reach to a tree. A large metal spike to drive into the ground if there are no trees, to pull yourself out of a mud hole. An axe and a Silky Big Boy to cut a tree that might have fallen across the road after you got in, and you are on the way out. Some 2X4 and cords to tie to your tires, to help you claw out of a mudhole. Just saying. Perhaps there are more truck rescue items that can be added to that. Chains, etc.

It’s an H3. It’s based on a Trailblazer platform, and like most GM vehicles, it’ll fall apart and the interior is low quality. It’s definitely not up to the “Hummer” name. Should’ve kept the Toyota. I’d think a guy that’s packed out for Fallujah would research vehicles. Unless he put empirical evidence aside because this had a good deal or he has a preference for it.

[@BertShackleford]

Clever way of showing off the new ride. Well done. Out here only one thing concerns us and that's water. Always have backup water for your backup water. Water filtration doesn't do much good because there isn't any water available in the desert. One other constant in my vehicle is a trauma kit. It never leaves the car. I've grabbed that thing more times than I'd like to count. Another requirement is the training to backup the use of the contents within the kit. I get free medical supply replacements if I submit a story with the request. Comes in handy once you soon realize how expensive medical gear can be as it starts to stack up. Lastly on the necessities list comes non-melting/perishable snacks. I get hangry and that's no good for anybody around me including myself. Keep up the good work my friend.

In this day and age it is probably better to go as small as you can reasonably work with though....I love how roomy my Impala is but i also just paid $40 to fill it up and will need to hit another gas station within the next 3 days where my little Neon costs me $26 to fill and lasts me about 5 days.

[@anvilsix5363]

Dont do literally anything this guy did. Hes stupid.

[@slimpickens0000]

Anvil Six so give us your input, what would you have him do?

[@morgan10152]

Great job, Sootch!! My vehicle looks much the same, although, yours is a lot cleaner than mine. A couple of additions you might consider. A complete change of clothes, from the inside out. If you get soaked from inclement weather you will be glad you had it. Cash. If power is down and no ATM's available cash in small bills will be very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

Put as much stuff as you can in your vehicle, a car thief can be break in in seconds, locks only keep honest men honest.

[@reedwischhusen5376]

nice, I've yet to take first aid training before getting first aid kits. I carry a surplus military folding shovel & Chloride Bardic Safety 1990'sTorch, jump leads, 1kg fire extinguisher, ferro rods, 1 litre GI style canteen with cup. I now be getting that visor organizer.

[@reynaldorivera7641]

I find it irresponsible to leave a gun in the car especially when not in a car gun safe. The vehicles can be broken into at anytime now you just armed a criminal. You firearms in my opinion should either be on you or secured in a safe place. Glove box / behind the seat etc is not a safe place to secure firearms

[@whitenite007]

Having my gun when I need it > arming a criminal that can easily get another gun anyway.

[@cookracing00c]

Reynaldo Rivera I agree with you and if you need a gun you should carry it on you at all times if something goes south you won't have time to get it out of the glove box.

[@KY_REDDYNESS]

Nice kits! I like the defense attention. Lots of youtubers just ignore that subject entirely. I think upgrading your firearm storage would be a must! Great vid thanks.

[@justanothergunner1847]

Your truck isn’t a holster, the whole “if it gets stolen it’s not expensive” excuse is BS.

[@ljbuck9683]

For real. Let's not touch the fact that he's arming criminals if they break in and steal it. "Oh, no worries, it was only $200"

[@MrAwsomeshot]

yeh that comment has made me lose a lot of respect for this man.

[@BulletSpoung]

A little tip for you Don. The rear windows on the Hummer are already tented dark, around 20%. If you have dark tent added to rear and sides that has the mirrored outer surface, from the outside it wont look all that dark with the lighter color behind your factory tent. This makes it very tuff to see into the truck and if you cover the things in the rear with a black fleece blanket it's even tougher. I hope this helps.

[@CreachterZ]

I’m torn. It seems that all that stuff on your sun visor could crash into your face in an accident. Thoughts?

[@Lily-ut7wg]

Fairly likely that it would fall but probably not hit anyone if it is forward

[@hammer9390]

Creatchture> I can speak from personal experience: I used to keep a garage-door opener clipped to my visor; I was rear-ended and the opener hit me in the face almost chipped a tooth. Would not carry anything on visor unless it slid in from the side.

[@barthamburg4351]

great advice man. People need to hear that. All too often I see people acting crazy while driving. I used to be that way but I've been so calm even in crappy situations. you have to use your adult mind and see things through adult eyes to see how much of a child everyone else acts sometimes. Some people Never Grow Up, they act like a teenager who's just looking for a fight. I just left these people off anymore because I know if it gets serious I will handle the situation

[@conanmaltz8181]

Why the spare charging handle?!

[@onerussian]

Conan Maltz to fill the hole in the visor holder that’s it no other reason.

[@thewatcher611]

I like your message on being even tempered, and keepin it cool. Another thing is, it's easy to make bad decisions when you're hot pissed. Keeping your head keeps your wits. You'll need those if things do get crazy. Don't be dumb. Thanks for the vid! Been subbed for a while now, So glad these older vids are still around.

[@Chukijay]

There’s no way you could get to that “non-lethal” protection in a hurry. Getting to it without anyone threatening you took long enough. Have you practiced deploying it under duress?

[@JasonTomczak]

Not exactly a 'survival' item, but I always carry a 20,000lb tow strap in my car. I have used it to pull many cars out of ditches or to gas stations; far more often than I've used first aid or similar supplies. Another good item is a fie extinguisher. Some are available in spray-paint-can sizes and cost very little.

[@jackharper3190]

And you guys over there really think that 4 Firearms in 1 car makes it more safe?

[@joeb5534]

Jack Harper doesn’t make it more dangerous

[@Alan.livingston]

Until you are taking money out of the atm and you get shot by some junkie who stole four guns out of some guys totally insecure vehicle.

[@kodsierra]

I've been here for a while scootch This is my two sense if you have a small sedan that has a trunk that can't be accessed from the back flip the cancel switch on the trunk lock then whenever you open trunk you have to put your key in and turn it to open and hit the trunk unlocked button in your car an extra step of security to keep your gear safe

[@handlebullshit]

Omg, i just cant get to my spare charging handle fast enough. Let's put it on the sun shade. (wth?)

[@strangelov]

Product placement.

[@jeremydoblinger3609]

I cover trunk gear with a (moving) blanket from harbor freight.. and i go grey man as well, no gun stickers or bumper stickers of any kind.. great tips here and you have a great setup!

[@TheFeralKid]

I keep a taurus pt 111 millennium g2 in my glovebox!!!! I feel so cool now!!

[@SensiblePrepper]

Good choice : )

[@roughneckactual2646]

Dude perfect timing video award goes to you! I was just going through my garage building out a vehicle kit. Thanks for the ideas!

[@jeepnicc]

NEVER STORE FIREARMS IN YOUR VEHICLE!

[@RtannerW-]

Your part about road rage and trying to keep a cool head in all situations I really respected. I don't feel I have too much road rage but at times I'm only human and do get a little heated mostly when I feel a driver had endangered myself, my passengers, or others sharing the road, but with that said you made me reflect and in the future will think of your words when faced with a driving situation or more life threatening encounters with others and always try my best to deescalate and stay safe. You got my sub for sure!

[@arumatai]

yeah... and if someone breaks into your vehicle you just armed half a dozend criminals with ammo to spare. that bumper sticker makes it pretty clear there might be weapons inside. and tinted windows? well if i was a criminal, i'd assume there's something worth stealing inside. oh and all the nice tools above your head will be flying around if you get into a car crash.

[@Jay_Fry]

klemens d you are both paranoid and foolish. Sudden stops or side swipes both sent those things in the visor away from the driver. If anything you would need to worry more about whats directly behind the driver. No ones ever seen tinted windows and thought "jackpot" EVERYONE HAS TINTED WINDOWS INCLUDING SOCCER MOMS!!! Lastly that sticker looks like a band sticker. My brother who doesnt own guns has a rifle family his wife doesnt. Her car has been broken into his hasn't.

[@thomasabney4898]

you have a good point with the stickers, however, tinted windows statistically do reduce the chance of a break-in. I've even had it happen to me. Watched a guy try to look in my windows on home camera while parked in my driveway. He didn't even know he was looking at an AR15 and body armor laying in the back.

[@jamesSmith-uh4ip]

I'm glad that you mentioned securing guns. I know a guy who lost a pistol when is car was stolen

[@EricFabianLozano]

This is either staged or you never leave your gated community. In my world, all that stuff would be stolen on the first trip to the grocery store.

[@CrazyPalidin57]

Easy E I'd say if its that predictable, then its avoidable by analyzing your environment and life choices. Think ahead and stay safe.

[@SensiblePrepper]

I'd move.

[@gaugedipasquale8268]

This video made me subscribe! Excellent info and content. I'm glad you mentioned local gun laws for carrying in your vehicle. I'm also glad you gave some firearm/court info to some of the more... hotheaded individuals. Again amazing video, keep it up!

[@VincentDoctorPrepperBoyle]

Great advice bro . As a vet i fully understand and appreciate your videos. Not big on comments but wanted to take a moment to thank you

[@puma51921]

Just fyi if your unsecured guns get stolen and used in a crime you will be sued and lose. Happened to my friend already.

[@cdawson198600]

puma51921 some states will charge you with criminal negligence as well. It’s just irresponsible to leave unsecured firearms in an unattended vehicle.

[@ryanponitz3827]

Beat me to it. This is pretty irresponsible

[@jonathanadamwilson6271]

If the vehicle is locked it is considered secured in my state. maybe yours is different. but how many locks does a thief need to bypass before the victim is clear of wrong doing? asking for a friend

[@grouch314]

Jonathan Adam Wilson even if it's enough for the state, it's a good idea to secure your guns when you're not in the vehicle

[@davidlouis1068]

im sure ! in Commifornia, Mussolini York, New Jerkoffs or Massacommunists

[@kevinjohnson1139]

Don’t forget a good tire inflator. Without one a slow leak or a flat spare can strand you. I have a Goodyear i7000, which is a solid, heavy-duty air pump. It’s performed flawlessly for over a decade. Unfortunately, it’s no longer in production.
