[@RippingJack76]

@@thelankyjim I doubt Cody would steal or kill unless directly threatened. He is a godly man after all.

[@thelankyjim]

Godly men aren’t necessarily wise or good, and have been killing others for millennia...beware false prophets. His video said he’d drive to a marina and steal a boat, assuming it’ll be unsecured. And he’s a gun owner, who from his videos seems keen to concealed carry and willing to use said firearm. I’ve enjoyed his content for years but I think a gun owner openly condoning theft is just a step too close to the cranks preparing for the apocalypse. It’s no different from the looters who’d probably be robbing convenience stores, I’m pretty sure he’d take a dim view of that so this seems pretty hypocritical? I wonder if I’ll be subject of one of his next rants about viewers upsetting him. 😂

[@MrBillchair]

@@thelankyjim Cody did say that he has been in the boat building business (as i also have, working at a marina) and at marinas, both diesel and petrol (gasoline) are plentiful. I am pretty sure they would be getting a boat legally through a boat charter hire person, team or company. Cody would only resort to "stealing" a boat if the situation was dire, and it was a matter of life & death. I don't know if you are a Christian or not, but Jesus questioned Pharisees who were thinking badly of him for healing on a Sabbath, asking them if their son or ox fell into a well, would they not save the boy or ox? ..."One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched.There in front of him was a man suffering from abnormal swelling of his body.Jesus asked the Pharisees and experts in the law, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”But they remained silent. So taking hold of the man, he healed him and sent him on his way.Then he asked them, “If one of you has a child or an ox that falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately pull it out?”And they had nothing to say. - Luke 14:1-6 www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke14:1-6&version=NIV " As for a firearm, he would not have time to get one in such a short time and I doubt that he goes anywhere unarmed, as he has a CC licence.

Isn’t stealing a boat illegal even if there is an earthquake. I can’t imagine if someone stole my boat . If the owner reported it stolen and the coast guard found it in your possession it would be bad.

[@ElectronicsForFun]

what's he going to do take it home with him and use it for vacations? if it's an emergency situation, you think he'll be the only person stealing boats? if he steals it out of a private marina then that would be unforgivable because then you're stealing somebody else's way of escape from them. but if it's a charter boat or something then l think the owners would be merciful considering the situation and cody wouldn't keep the boat or vandalize it so it's not like it's gone forever.

As someone who lived in LA you generally want to avoid the coast because of possible Tsunamis following earthquakes. While uncommon in the region an earthquake of that magnitude that would necessitate a bugout could pose a Tsunami risk. Other than that earthquakes in the area are no big deal at all, happen often and usually go unnoticed. Life goes on. An earthquake that wouldn't pose a tsunami risk likely wouldn't require a bugout situation either.

Well as a Chilean who has lived trough a couple earthquakes, I found this totally exagerated. If the building you are does not colapse you just survived. Thats it. You must have a radio, something to make fire since the power will be out, maybe a sawyer water filter and the cash. With that you can get to the road and hitchhike home, also because of the kind of tectonic forces present in the San Andreas fault the earthquakes in L.A. can't be as strong as it is in Chile, and here it was less than a week of moderate chaos (a couple lootings of stores and lack of fuel and power)

[@mikehartmann5187]

Nice kit, well thought out. My only suggestion is related to your emergency cash - break up the $500 in 20’s into a range of smaller bills. Some 10’s, 5’s and 1’s. The reason for this is because if electronic access to cash is disrupted in a large regional event such as an earthquake, vendors may not have the capacity to make change, and you don’t want to find yourself in a situation where you have to overpay for ‘X’ because the seller can’t or won’t give you change. This is based on my real-world experience during the great Northeast Blackout of 2003, where I found myself stranded in NYC with very little cash and all ATM’s were dead. For what it’s worth, when I travel, I carry $350 in emerg. cash - $100 in 20’s, $100 in 10’s, $100 in 5’s, and $50 in 1’s. Yes it does make for a wad, which I keep together with a simple binder clip. It’s roughly 3/4” thick folded in half. It will fit in a pocket comfortably, or if in an area were crime is a concern, the wad will fit in my sock (wearing long pants of course). Have a safe trip.

[@chiefof]

Excellent helpful video. Thank you Cody. I will be looking at that Osprey bag to replace my current grab and go bag. Living in So Cal as we do and having a spouse who is disabled we have always made provisions to survive for a limited time if we couldn't shelter in place.

Variations I carry are a solar charging battery pack instead of the ones you choose that must be plugged in to recharge and I keep my earplugs handy for use during the flight when young travelers start making it known they aren't happy. A paper map of the area or city and gum are good additions too. One thing I would point out where your data is a bit off that I learned about from a TSA supervisor at DFW and confirmed by years of travel...you can fly with water, as long as it is frozen SOLID (not liquid) in the bottle when you go thru the TSA checkpoint or of course you can fill your empty bottles with filtered water from fountains in the airport. Travel safe and have fun. Oh, and I have plenty of friends that fedex their handheld boom sticks to their hotels, if CC is legal, so they have mail when they arrive.

Back then it took me 4 hours of very slow driving to finally get out of this mess and head to Phoenix Arizona. When I have flown they always take my Big Lighter! I sure they keep them for themselves! But if I put it in my suitcase and it’s stored below then I don’t have to buy another one. FYI I love the gear you have put together for your safety and Mrs.W. Keep up the good job you are doing!👍

[@jokeal3613]

I recently took the blade out of an old Leatherman wave on a flight. TSA found it, I showed them it had no blade, they said I should have put it in the bin seperately... but they let me keep it.

The saw on that thing is pretty wicked.

[@konamikookoo5629]

I think stealing boats is illegal

[@MNAZ12]

Konami Kookoo it’s called commandeering

[@konamikookoo5629]

Yes if you are a police officer you have commandeered the vessel if you need it to protect the public. If you are a part time fire fighter on holiday and you want to get home, (not to saftey) but just to get home. Then it is stealing and grand theft.

[@extraneus1630]

i'd prefer that over possible death or endangerment of loved ones brother

[@konamikookoo5629]

@@extraneus1630 this is true. But getting to safety maybe easier , in the richest country in the world than taking to a strange boat just because of an earthquake, or other natural disaster. You guys have some of the best first responders in the world. I would hunker down and if nothing else came to my aid then yes maybe then i would follow Cody's plan. I'm not saying he's wrong but it should be plan B or even C.

Cody, I always write the date on the tape I put around my batteries then I rotate them every 60 days to keep fresh batteries in my go bag. Love the channel and that you keep God and Family first keep up the great content!

Love these kit videos where you prepare for X. Really appreciated the backpack suggestion too.

[@wpherigo1]

Your plan is to steal a boat?

[@MFCSTUDIOS]

He said requisition..... besides one of the scariest situations to be in. Is a large metropolitan city after. MAJOR Disaster of some type. Most emergency services will not be functioning or be occupied else where. Gangs and criminals WILL take advantage of said scenario. The Best thing in that scenario is to get out of dodge as fast as you can.

I made a survival kit after experiencing the earthquakes. Luckily, I was not close enough to experience any damage, but it might not be so next time. For tools, I got two Gerber mutitiools, demolition wrench, and a demolition hammer. Handy if I need to get out of where I live if a door or window is jammed. I also got food and water to last me for at least 4 days. Also some basic survival things. A lot of thoughts and money...

I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a long time now and I usually don’t miss a video. Today I happened upon this video which is at this time 6 months old. Now before I get into my rant I’d like to say that I liked your channel because you gave good information and I believed you to be someone with strong Christian values however phrases such as power hungry half wits and calling TSA officers morons changed my views of you. I happen to work for TSA I am the moron that spent my Christmas making sure planes were safe instead of being home with my wife and two kids. I am the power hungry half wit that went over a month without a paycheck during the shutdown but was required to still be at work everyday so you could fly. I pray that this has some impact on you and that you don’t just brush me off.

Calling someone a moron, or a half wit just for doing their job = Not very classy.

@@fassay what private security forces are allowed at airports do much better. There would be more of those, but they have to ask the TSA if they can take their jobs.

So you're going to rapel out of a crashed airplane, make a hasty harness from the webbing and drag your loved one out, then survive overnight in a earthquake torn urban metropolis in your space blanket while living off of energy bars and hydration tablets. You forgot your flashlight so in the morning you'll make your way to a marina with your compass but no map, steal a boat, bandage up your sucking chest wound with your blowout kits after you get shot and if all else fails, you got your emergency $500 to get whatever you forgot. I see you have throughly thought this one though.

why does he need a map? just head west and you'll see water, and then maybe go up or down the coast a mile or 2 and you'll eventually find a boat of some kind.

From springer mountain all the way to maine i only had maybe 2 problems. One with a zipper and a ripped outer pocket i sewed back. But they replaced the whole pack when i got home. Great backpacks, great company. I dont know what your problem with REI is they have very good equipment for backpacking gear and equipment. Edit: I grew up on a farm in southern WV. Outside a little interstate town called ripley. By no means am i a soyboy latte drinking whatever but REI is a really good shop.
