    When I met my wife about 15 years ago she had all the food, medical and water sorted out. She called it the Armageddon stash. I had the stay dry stay warm gear in my trunk. I also had the weapons and ammo. Combined, speaking to community, we became a match made in heaven in a sense. Thanks for this video sir.

    Speacilization and division of labor is why teams, especially good ones, end up on top. Building a community, whether it be family & close friends, your local neighorhood block, a group of likeminded people, etc. is critical and must be done as a priority. No battle was ever won by a lone man and having a group that are assests to fall upon puts you above everyone else including a perfect "lone wolf".

      Because it is all bullshit. Most people will ignore the danger till it is too late. Then they will feed on those who are prepared. I am from Poland. We have here waves of refugees from Ukraine. They eat our food, drink our water, take our jobs. Community? Families, groups of people from Ukraine had to walk 50-100km and more carry heavy duffel bags (who needs a good pack?) with their small children because they believed that their cars will do the job. Most people are naive blue collars, not green berets. And people are not friendly in general

    There are 2 kinds of bug out bags ( B.O.B. ).
    [ 1 ] the Red Alert bug out. Where there isn't time to pack the car, danger is immediate, it's a situation of grab the B.O.B. as you rush out the door. It's a minimalist bag, from 15 to 20 lbs. approx..
    [ 2 ] the Emergency bug out. Where you have a couple of minutes to pack the car or truck, and that bag could be 50 to 60 lbs.
    And there are 2 auxilliary bags. { i } the Winter bag with a sleeping bag, tent, and winter clothing articles. As minimalist as possible. { ii } The Water bag, where you have fresh water ready to drink, made up of water you usually drink, but have cycled through the Water auxilliary B.O.B.. For example, I drink Perrier Sparkling waters. I put a box of it in the Water bag, and the next time I buy this water, I put what's in the bag, into the refrigerator, and the newly bought waters will go into the Water bag. When I was in the Loma Prieta Earthquake, stuck on the road between rock slides, the first thing I noticed was thirst. No time to search for a water source to purify. Thus the fresh water auxilliary bag. But, water purification is also a must.

    John Lovell got me thinking along this path a while back. It's true the Lone Wolf thing makes an awesome story book, but I got a family to protect and unnecessary risk is just that. We have wildland near the home and I used to think that might be a safe place to run because everything was behind a locked gate and one day it hit those locks won't last through the first day of shenanigans and then the people coming in will have the advantage of vehicles while I'm on foot. Our task is to build an army, a community and preferably a family, and unlike our current society all of these branches really need to work in harmony to succeed.

      I recommend taking the locks off in that situation.
      Put old rusty ones and rusty chains. They dont even have to work.
      A new lock and chain advertises that someone is around.
      An old lock and the people on the outside wont know.
      Put them on in a way that if they are tampered with you will know.

      Called community networks.
      Start by looking around you community and see what networks already exist.
      Join one and use the opportunity to meet people and get to know them.
      Using social interaction find those who volunteered who are like minded.
      Volunteers tend to work harder for the community.
      In addition you will learn who has what resources and skills.

    I'm more familiar with ultralight backpacking and thru-hiking gear/mentality/rationale but all this makes sense to me. Preppers strike me as, in large part, bushcrafters that have taken potential dangers from other humans into consideration when planning and developing their skillsets.
    I think the aforementioned communities could learn much from each other. Unfortunately there is a strong contingent of UL backpackers/thru-hikers that view bushcrafters with derision for their lack of leave-no-trace principles. My attitude is that leave no trace is vital, unless there is a tangible need resulting in a meaningful benefit. Bushcrafting, practiced responsibly, easily fits this criteria.

    • @Swearengen1980
      @Swearengen1980 2 роки тому

      Preppers and bushcrafters are in no way the same thing. The vast majority of preppers have no real world experience, don't practice what they're planning for. Half the ones I've seen never go camping or have even fired the guns they collect. They stockpile massive supplies while living in the city and pretend that the city won't burn down around them, making all that planning useless. I honestly don't see a scenario where "bugging in" makes sense if you live in a city. Bushcrafters in my experience are rarely preppers, but people who love the wilderness, skills, camping, etc. It's more of a hobby than a concern over a SHTF scenario.

    Thank you. There's camping, getting lost survival & the fleeing for your life. Lastnight, some of the group watched 2 tornadoes form north of us & moving our direction; not touching down long, if at all on the ground. I was called & it was dark, really hard to see, a person had a cell phone view was pretty clear. My phone was inside along with everyone & all gear. I prayed as I watched...I'm still frustrated no sirens or phone notifications. The whole thing was as though God let us watch where I stood protected from wind, rain I should have been wet. The person with the phone was in the open away from the building & got sand in the eyes pretty bad. The storm was blowing cold wind, it was like when a northern comes, but different; that sound I've heard before. The experiences of my past again I was spared the tornadoes damaging winds. I still think about it how we should've moved out of the area, gone west, but no one even got in a car. I have been praising God ever since lastnight for sparing us. It could have been rough. We had things happen & my preparedness has not been at peak...my reactions seem to be what the rest are going to do. It is mixed options in this little group; some prepare & some don't. It is almost comical thinking on lastnight & getting the video...my mind rushing thoughts get the little ones & what we can grab & go, but was I the only one thinking this way? I don't know; some of the group I talk to more than others. Was it exciting?...yes...was it a duh moment?...yes. I think it was for some where to go? Most places were toward the approaching storm, if we could get in & everything else a toss up. What to do? What to do? I am talking with different ones today. Times are just strange. I even have moments of hesitation or just out of how I normally am. I haven't quite been myself since we got so very sick in December of 2021 through weeks of recovery into 2022. The things that are happen. The world has become different...where is safe to even be now. Hikers being killed. People robbed of their shopping goods. People camping or RVing being found dead. People being followed home. Homes invaded. Some years back at the court house a woman just urinated & I think might've cursed or acted as though nothing had happened. Did she just have a moment of bodily functions not working or was it something else. At the time I thought some pretty supernatural event. I share these bc it isn't the events, but the frequencies of the events are more & more; it is worse & worse.
    Bugging out or in is a moment by moment choice, but make some guidelines now/today, if this or that & timelines. Repent. Pray. Praise. Prepare. Do not fall away from God, Jesus or God's word. Stand. Hold fast. Endure to the end. Be stregthen with courage. God's 10 commandments. Jesus' commandments. Dave's 5 C's levels. My 5 q's. Skills in all areas possible. Commonsense. Plans: A,B,C,D-Z.
    I, we, have so much to do, but it seems harder than before to accomplish.

    What you’re talking about is great but establishing these little communities are mostly not possible in the vast majority of the country. Even if you can find enough time outside of work, kids, etc, you have to find these people and have enough of them to matter. What you’re really talking about is a towns worth of minimal skill sets. This requires organization at a town level. For the majority of normal folks, this requires serious project management and even perhaps a full time professional staff to effectively organize. It would be amazing if we got to a point as a nation where this was valued enough. We need professional companies to help organize these town pod communities and have it mainstream.
