Gloves … I am always amazed that some people never think about gloves. I keep heavy dishwashers glovers in my med kits for the vehicles. You want something that can protect you from the glass and blood. But now I am thinking about that there are likely better options 30 years later from when I 1st started doing it. That is the great thing about watching someone else’s video it get me thinking about things I have become complacent about. I need to research.

As always good content, different laws here in uk but yes I have picked up some useful info thank you. I have just purchased some electronic ear protectors a couple of weeks ago and didn’t realise they could pick up radio frequencies I thought they only eradicated loud bangs but let you hear somebody speaking. Will have to look into that. Thanks again have a safe and relaxing weekend.

2:17 I have started using 3mm shock cord in place of rubber bands for things like that, because rubber bands don't seem to last long these days, even when kept cool and dark. Cord locks make for adjustable ties, but you can just tie them to fit as well. Sgt. Knots is a good source.

Isn’t that the truth. In summer, I always lose weight. I had my 6 month check up and I went from 135 to 125.8 pounds according to Dr scale. I never weigh myself, I go by the way my cloths fit. I knew I lost, but not that much. My labs are perfect and I feel great with no change in energy. Just the way I am. But I had to adjust my backpack too. I’m going thru my pack with some suggestions you made. Thanks MR 👍♥️

Very nice, Modern Refugee. The defensive aspect of prepping continues to be my most challenging area. Plugging along and doing my best but it's the toughest for folks in my area. There's always way to get things done though!

Keep losing weight! In regards to the SRK, how does it interact with that sheath? Every cold steel fixed blade I've owned has been dulled immediately after drawing from those secure ex sheaths a few times. As much as I like cold steel, it just made it not worth it to me.
@ModernRefugee2 ай бұрын
I guess I haven’t noticed. I usually run my knives over a steel when I’m done using them so maybe that makes a difference. They do dull quicker than my ESEEs.

MR, Good Video. In addition to my EDC Get-Home-Bag. I have roughly 6 mags loaded. Cleaning cords for multi calibers. KBar. Machete. Milspec shovel. At 3/4 of a Century and having just survived another heart attack two weeks ago. Bad back. I need to keep my load very light. I need wheels to transport anything. I am revamping my bicycle to haul loads like the VC did. If I am forced to retreat to my secondary site I hope to get the 30 miles. There I have what I call my 'Oh-Crap' pack & 'mo' resupply. . Which I am going to be reconfiguring this next couple of weeks due to my ill health & comorbidities. Aging not so gently I do not intend to go quietly into the night. From the 👍. Best

Good stuff, MR. I'm trying to figure out how to deal with loud noises inside a building when awakened from sleep and not really time to put on muffs, etc. Don't want to register myself with the government to have a noise limiter on the seed sprayer. And keeping weight down on the get home bag.
@irabeideman9469Ай бұрын
They already know who you are. That's not really a valid excuse anymore. Now is the best time ever to purchase a noise limiter with approval times shorter than ever in history.
@patriotpreacher43Ай бұрын
@@irabeideman9469 it’s not who you are. It’s where you are. You must keep them apprised of the item’s address and you have to have it at your address. To fail to do that would itself be a crime. No thanks. May just have to risk the hearing.

No, there are a lot of well armed people in the rural areas where I frequent. For myself personally I would rely more on diplomacy than a pry bar.

War belt? Better to have a Hunting belt. Skills will be needed for farming and hunting, not combat (unless you already live in a war zone). Rural Michigan should be safe from civil conflict, it's the cities surrounded by strangers that will have the most drama
