It's like making a secret base on the nature trail when you are a kid except guns, liquor and better gear are involved.
Hahah exactly
Alot of money is of course involved to do it correctly!😷😷
Pretty much
@@aphysique Not as much as you would think if done incrementally.
@Little PAW 1969 LOL, now they have Billie eilish, Rosie Odonell, and Katelyn Jenner as there new roll models.😂🙊🙈🙉
Learning about this stuff makes me realize how painfully unprepared 90% of the American Population is, including myself.
It also makes me very envious of all of the skills you guys have acquired.
Thank you for your service.
It's as easy as buying some protection, and get some training. Medical and fighting are the doorway.
99%
These are the guys that made it out in the movies.
And a couple random hippies making out in the wild.. that would be killed off later.
One day, I hope to finally bug out of Mom's basement.
Don't be stupid stay in the basement.
Punch and pie......stand your ground, defend her to the last man......
LOL
Huy Nguyen Make sure she heats those chicken tendies
I tried to support Trump but then the left took my home and destroyed my family and he did nothing to stop Washington state and I sent all the evidence to William Barr and he does nothing. So now I live in my truck. I sued Washington state also and when we started to win we found my legal council dead. So I did the research and found out both parties are secretly working together against the people. They are all Catholics, Zionist masons playing this good guy bad guy game on the people. Trump is 33 degree mason known as “The Spear of Destiny,” and when he says he believes in god he and your entire government and media are referring to Lucifer. They are all in the occult’s that spawned off the pyramid text; hence, the Egyptian motifs within national monuments and Washington DC. The White House is a replica of Solomon’s temple. Completely luciferian as is trump’s tower also a monument to Lucifer. But the evangelicals do not care because they are being tricked to think now they have a president that believes in god and is with god, which is right of the Roman play book where they made the emperor god or connected to god. Watch, “Roman Piso” and see how they are using the same Flavian model on the people. I know this for a fact. Trump and William Barr are letting the leftist Catholics destroy everyone else and they just playing the silent game. It is all a ruse and game on the people and therefore it is time to sign the Declaration of Independence again and cast them off for good. Our nation was taken over by the, “Act of 1871” by the Vatican-Crown. Thus, we are a Crown Colony Corporation and Trump is just the CEO for Britain and the Vatican’s Corporation. The Antifa are masonic Catholics workings to destroy America from within and they are being directed by the deep state. Both parties are the deep state. But see the play where your party is the champion for the people but it is really a trick on the people again a good guy bad guy game. Now I live like a hunted animal and not one American cares because they are either brainwashed on the left or the right by their alpha-wave technologies and the Hegelian dialectic (order out of chaos) that they are constantly using on the entire population. So if your not in a tribe controlled by the two parties you are considered a terrorist and not a real American. But in fact those that see these two parties of record by the law are masons that are illegally running our nation as a Crown Colony Corporation fooling the people to think the represent them when nothing could be farther from the truth.
An important thing to note about the portable waterfilters is that in cold temperatures the moisture inside the tube can freeze. Making the waterflow bad and potentially reducing the effect of the actual filtration. Carry them close to your body.
Low-key jokes are hilarious
Agreed!
Yeah, I laughed out loud at that.
Absolutely
Rather than use an arbitrary weight (45lbs) for the max practical limit, please consider using a percentage of your body weight (if you are of average/normal BMI). I was once part of a study conducted by the DOD regarding the soldier's load. The researcher weighed each member of the mortar section that I led, and also weighed each of our loads. My load was the heaviest at 140 lbs, but I weighed 185. One of my soldiers was carrying substantially less, but he only weighed 135 lbs, so proportionally he was even more overloaded. (The load weight included the clothing we wore,as well as boots, helmet, rifle, etc). I think the study concluded that 25-35% of body weight was a good target. I know that many SOF guys carry even heavier loads than we did back then; that is the main reason that I was just a "regular guy" in the 101st,and not a special guy:)
That’s a great point! Thank you for sharing that 🤘🏼
You are still a part of a microscopic percentage of those of us who served this great country. I think that qualifies as special. Maybe not Special Operations, but special nonetheless bro. So was the idea to spread the gear around so that each soldier carried their proportional weight? How would you apply that today?
@@robertthetexan8537 You can't. For mil, you are CARRYING that weight, regardless if you are 130lbs or 250lbs. We had women carrying combat loads of 100+ pounds in afghanistan. So if you want to make it realistic for service, you are not going to be training with "proportional" body weight load. You either carry the required loadout, or you're useless.
@erozpl01 I think having a good rucksack with a frame, good thick hip belt and shoulder straps, and load lifters help alot. My wife and I both run USMC ILBE main rucksacks. I am 5 ft 11 in, and 185 lbs, my long term bug out bag loadout typically runs about 65 lbs, I have rucked 80 lbs and it honestly isn't that bad. I think I could do 100lbs if I had to. My wife is 5 ft 1in, 130 lbs and her loadout runs about 50 lbs, but she has ran up to 60 lbs with no complaints at all. We used to run tactical 3 day packs, but they hurt our shoulders and back with weight over 25 to 30 lbs. Switching to a framed pack that distributes the weight to our hips made a huge difference. We go out for 3 days at a time in the Appalachian Mountains over rough, steep terrain, and it's not bad. Lol my wife is a trooper, I have had her out in thunderstorms, at night, with it piss pouring, and she powers through it. I figure that's the best way to train. Making fires, putting up shelters, in the worst possible conditions. Gotta test the lowest temperatures in our area as well to make sure our clothing and sleep systems are enough. You never know when you'll have to bug out. I hope that helps.
How far we're you expected to go max distance with that out t if weight over what terrain and elevation? That's a lot of weight
it's crazy how far you can clearly hear somebody's voice in the mountains, and how far you can see the human shape and movement especially the silhouette up on a hill
Yup, and sometimes you can smell them before you hear them. 👍
the shadows are what gave them away from that drone footage of them hoofing it through the trees it was pretty stark how easy it was to see their shadows, even if they were wearing camo
That's why camouflage is so important while trying to not be seen. You should definitely be trying to be quiet and that's doable. But smell will definitely get you before anything else! Unless your wearing a camo pattern that matches your terain. But depending on the weather and your ability to filter water without a fire. Having a fire is easy to smell, and see at night. Either way great point! Figured I'd just add a few points. Shalom y'all! God bless you and God bless America!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
I recall being taught the basics of movement security:
Shape, Shine, Shadow, Silhouette.
There are more but those are good starting points.
Number one item is good broke in boots.
@Concerned Citizen definitely good new sox = must have's..🐾
Yes. Indeed.
And a flint stone, good knife, length of cord, sheet of plastic, hypothermia blanket, water filter straw, antiseptic cream and compass/notepad. And a healthy understanding of the local flora, local seasonal circumstances and geography.
That's something I always look at when I come across hikers. I always pay attention to the condition of someone's boots and shoes. Tells alot about their hiking life.
Savage the Wild
Yes and no.
While usually yea, you can spot the ‘no idea’ guy and the ‘all the gear, no idea’ guy.... That not necessarily the case. Some of my mates (ex-military, and not the bread and butter type.) are pretty adept with survival skills in the most adverse conditions possible. (Takes a ‘unique’ character if person to do the role and I’m not condoning or recommending their actions. At all.) In their view, unless the call for ‘proper’ gear is considered highly necessary (completely unknown terrain, expectations of adverse weather, complete isolation from comms / emergency access, etc etc) then they treat most circumstances pretty complacently (in my opinion.) as they know what they are doing, are extremely well disciplined mentally and the ‘danger’ factor is peanuts compared to their perception of ‘normal.’ Circumstances that most ‘normal’ people prepare to the moon for. And they do sometimes have a point but that 5-10% for me still is too high... lol. They take precautions they deem necessary, for sure but (what they deem necessary is different to what i do lol) they don’t usually take such comprehensive measures they deem highly unnecessary due to being highly unlikely. Just more stuff to weigh you down and introduce unnecessary risk, in there view. Lightweight Cross trainers with quick drying materials, spare socks, a cargo pocket or 2 of essential high use materials and small camel back with essential occasional/emergency use materials. And I must admit, I have been envious on more than one occasion at how little extra burden they had compared to myself. (Highly dense and humid undergrowth is a revealing factor to the potential validity of their logic. Increased exposure to hazards aside.
Two people sharing the equipment load is the best method I find, as much of the equipment is not necessary for each person to carry. This of course usually means that you both must remain together and ideally, not temporarily split to cover two ridge lines simultaneously for any purposes, or each and/or both become limited some capacity or another and are increasingly vulnerable to becoming subject to unideal circumstances.
(No more than 3 or u become too dependent on too many diversified liabilities. Better to have 2 pairs of 2 sharing loads between them I think.)
@@muntee33 haha man you went too deep with my vague comment. I was just talking about the "patagucci" crowd that "hikes" but their shoes arent even broken in. More or less talking about the "hiking clothing as fashion" type folks. Military didnt even cross my mind when I commented. But that was a good read nonetheless.
Forget that lifestraw brother !!! Replace that with a Sawyer Mini. Far superior device and filters 1000's of gallons of water. Keep up the great work. Beautiful area of the country you live in.
The Roman Legions would take water from the fastest part of the stream or river. Contaminants and impurities swirl and hang close to the bank. The would also add vinegar to the water. About 2 teaspoons per quart of water for long marches. The body does better being slightly acidic. I don't remember what book I got this from but I do remember it was when I was in the Military. The used to push us to read military history and about the different cultures.
The more knowledge you have(and can apply) the less gear you need to carry.
Great video and I have enjoyed them. Keep up the great work.
When your pH in your blood turns basic it makes you tired. That is why after a big meal, you get sleepy. You are right that acidic blood pH keeps you more alert and awake.
It was called Posca. Water and Red Wine Vinegar along with coriander and often honey. The acidic wine vinegar also killed the bacteria

HELLO MR HOLLINGSWORTH!

As a 14 year old. I'm learning a lot from you Mike
Pay attention. Don't be cocky.
5:54 f*ckin' got'em
I love the life straw but for the same price the sawer mini is 10x the filter with more options and convince.
Lemme tag along next time please.
Dude, come on down! Let’s make it happen 🤘🏼
You probably could if your weak ankles could take it... Lol
@@MrKimberr lmao
LLOD Do you even Operate Bro? 😂 Jk that would be Cool!
Recce walks are the norm for rescue teams here in the mountains, I often come across them on some very off beaten and often unknown paths. The thing is, a lot of folks do not realize (I know you do) how hard a basic recce walk can be with a fully loaded 72 hour bag, let alone a rifle, plate carrier, hydration bladder and so on attached to you. The altitude is a real killer for most folks so I'm not that worried about folks flocking into the high country in desperate times. The problems is getting from suburbia to the trails I need to get too and ensuring folks are not following us.
What in tarnation was that in the background at 8:30......a daggone Sasquatch 😳. As always, I enjoy your vids👍
SEE I SAW IT ALSO.... GLAD IM NOT TRIPPIN!!
Person putting on a pack.
The drone operator...
It was Kelvin pooping in the woods
Mike, did you really just pull the “look here” joke with the compass??? I damn near pissed myself laughing when I saw that. Will-
I saw that just before the 6 min mark +/-....or the WP sign!? Hmmm. 🤔
Are you 12?
@@JohnBlaze505 I'm 51...sometimes it pays to act 12 again... especially in today's world. So lighten up, you're wrapped too tight.
I saw it too, reminds me of work and I'm 57
Drew Dugger
We did that game a lot in the infantry which is probably why Mike did it on the video.
Lighten up
Great video. I can't say enough how trekking poles improve your speed and stability.
Two things to add to any bag is a small light weight tent and a MSR water filter, I have used the Miniworks EX while on the Appalachian Trail. These are not expensive or heavy but will add a lot to your morale. These tents will give you a warm dry place to rest during a miserable rainy night. A small stove and a canister of fuel for those blustery nights you cant light a fire, these will work to heat water very quickly while in a tent.
Great video guys.
Warlock 06 msr gardian is the best . I love mine . Life straws are trash
I like to see the fact that Kevin has a non-tactical pack. My thought all along has been if I would need to bugout on foot... then I would use my internal frame backpacking pack that looks nothing like a tactical pack so it does not attract any more attention than I would get. Working now to become as "gray" as possible with all my survival-related items. Good stuff!
Dang it. Ya got me with the circle.
Won’t cell phones create traces of your movement? Depending on who you’re trying to avoid, your cell phone will just give away your movement and location every time it is within cell tower range.
Maybe turn off location tracking apps and function of your cell, while moving, and bring a compass and street and land maps for general movement.
Thanks for teaching and preaching. I went to SERE training as part of my aircrew school and I still have my handbook to this day. Every so often I review the skills and practice anything I can learn. Unfortunately, I'm in a category that many don't really bother to touch on and that's those of us who would need to bug out but are disabled. Do you have any plans to touch on techniques that those of us who aren't as mobile anymore, can do to survive or shelter in place? I'd love to take a refresher in the wilderness.
Life straws do not purify watter. They filter water. There can be world of difference. Though in rural AZ, it probably makes no difference.

There are a vast array of specifications and quality. A quality, 2-3 stage unit is a wise investment.
A plastic bag or small sheet of plastic will produce a small amount of clean water from anything from a leafy branch to your own urine. Either place the bag over a bunch of leaves on a tree branch and tie off. Or u can dig a hole, urinate in a container, place a smaller container in the center and cover the hole with plastic and secure with rocks along the edges and place another rock in the centre over the empty container. It wont produce a great amount but it will produce enough to increase your ability to endure regions with no water sources. Hope you never need to resort to such measures but if you do, you will be very glad for that 1-2 mouth fulls of water.
Constructing your bivi in a manner that channels any dew/precipitation into a small container can provide another mouth full. Every bit helps when your up against it. Knowing which trees store ample water under their bark, or outer layers is a good advantage as well. We can endure without food but for a short duration but water is a critical daily requirement. You MUST be able to navigate, secure water, create shelter and produce warmth, everything else a bonus.
My only feedback is for Kevin. @13:35, THROW THE DAMN STICK! 🤣🤣
Hahah😂😂
I don't recommend using cell phone or any eletronic directional finder, It's now been proven they can track your movements with those items. I recommend old school gear.👍😎
And Knowing Is 1/2 the Battle. 🏹🌩️⚔️ .
John Johnson no cell phones
And now with C0VlD & C0NTRACT TRAClNG ppl are even more concerned. You can purchase a cheap Faraday case for your phone & only take it out in an emergency, or for everyday use, what a lot of ppl are doing is driving to a secluded part of a parking lot, THEN taking it out to check for missed calls & texts and putting back in before continuing on with their errands: 21 states are now using the National Guard to place ppl in isolation if they OR anyone around them has tested positive. Another consideration is that most vehicles have GPS. Some mechanics can disable it for you. I have an '84 Toyota Landcruiser, so I don't have to worry about it.
I am glad someone else has pointed this out that idea was foolish. They call them a track phone for a good reason.
I see a GPS, not a phone app either, as a good tool for when you don't have a map of the area. Also, if you have ever done land nav at night, that can be a bitch. Any conditions rendering visibility poor. That said a good compass and topo maps of the places you will likely be is almost a must have. I highly recommend everyone learn to navigate with map and compass. I actually think it's fun.
Really loving this. Ideally im gonna stay bugged in but lately ive been acknowledging more that its smart to have the knowledge and basic know how to be able to get out efficiently. This series will be spot on what i needed.
Thanks for doing this series i look forward to watching more. Love the podcast btw.
Showing those basic skills like crossing danger areas is great. We can all read about then in manuals, but seeing them done brings it together
Crossed with a sharp curve on their right that a vehicle could come around & catch em ,,
Charlie Mike man awesome info I'm evolving as I go working on my to go bag 11bravo infantry with a m40 pro mask peace and blessings
Great to finally meet you Kevin I listen to every pod cast good to put a face to the voice. Mike another great video please do more. Thanks guys
12:50 that landscape is beyond gorgeous.
We are lucky to live here! It’s amazing!
I've seen better. Lol!
Love the videos, I feel like a brief pro/con of having a dog with you would be a good add on, obviously people will start blabbing on about best bread, etc, but they can be a great addition even to rank amateurs!
Can you do instruction vid for us old soldiers who are over 60 and our only choice is to bug in......thanks
What kind of rucksack are you running?? I have a complete FILBE rucksack system. It's absolutely amazing at distributing the weight! And it can carry up to 120lbs! Although my max weight I'm able to carry is 100lbs. And that's only for about three miles before it really starts to wear on me! But you can fit all the things in it! Sleep system, tent, food clothes, water, fire, cordage, light, and everything else you'd need! I can carry enough food and water to survive for 3-5 days! With a Sawyer mini, traps and snares, and a gun for hunting. You can definitely extend that 3-5 days, to whatever available resources in your area! Anyways love your channel! Some gear reviews on Rucking, camping, and survival skills would be an awesome addition to your already awesome channel! Because I totally trust gear reviews from spec ops guys! You have lived through not just rough conditions! But rough conditions while your fighting for your life in combat! So let me know what you think about the FILBE rucksack system, including the three day assault pack, with the hydration carrier and bladder, and the two sustainment pouches and two hydration pouches that ALL come with the FILBE rucksack system! Also a gear review on the MSS sleep system with the Gortex bivy cover and the new and improved thermarest USGI USMC foam sleeping pad would be awesome to! I own everything I mentioned and love all of it for extended camping trips! But they would also be great pieces of kit for bugging out! Thank you for your service and your channel!! God bless you and God bless America!!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸
Amador County loving the videos and the podcast! Keep up the good work
Thanks for the video , nice area you guys are hiking around in . I have some property that borders national forest land up here and Im always out and about in it . I do a lot of back country skiing on the peaks in there in my back yard . I use gear I can travel with in the winters up here , The ski's have textured (fish Scale ) bases so I can navigate up hill without sliding back . Maybe you can do a winter land navigation course with which gear to use and such . I took all those courses years ago and used them for my work . up in the sierra mountains to help me find lost people . Ok thanks again ......
Love Kevin's accent.....His Cache's should be Guinness and ammo.....Just like mine :) No, really.....
you might say I was lucky, I never got sick drinking from streams in CO growing up there, 70's-90's. I wouldn't do it today unless it was a day trip.
Well-timed and clearly explained, thank you!
pace count changes when youre tired, wearing too many clothes. or over rough terrain, uphill, sand, or mud.
canned food or sturdy bear proof containers for caches- wild animals will eat anything not secured.
A great and informative video on reconning your area to determine the best exit routes out of the area in which you live. This is something that everyone needs to establish in order to keep themselves and their families safe and secure.
Great video. Really looking forward to the load out series. It’s easy to get the pack up in lbs quickly. I think it would be interesting to get some information as far as if you have your “vehicle go bag” and then have to bug out on foot, do you take your lighter get home bag or your fully loaded heavy go bag. The details that may surround making that decision. Always listening to the podcasts and the UA-cam! Thanks guys!
I told Mike where I live and he said good luck getting out of there. I cried.
Might need to bug in.
You need to be ahead of the curve. If you miss the boat, so to speak, you may be better off digging in temporarily until the herd clears. A frightened and confused herd is the most dangerous thing in nature. But do not hesitate when the opportunity arises, you are already behind the 8 ball and need to get moving. A plan B and plan C is what will determine who meaningfully secures a strategical advantage and who doesn’t. The main question for those on plan B or C is wether to head for high ground or stay close to water.
VandyMan84 lol yeah I watch these videos and then remember I stay in the center of Downtown in a major city!
There’s no such a thing as ‘bug in’ in a city. That’s a first-class ticket to death (from any number of causes) for you, and those unfortunates depending on you.
@Betty Cocker the hell am I gonna tell an internet stranger for? I live in a city. A shitty leftist city with rampant corruption.
Ok, you asked for feedback and here ya go. Firstly, great video.
The one critique I have is in the road crossing technique. Either crossing a linear danger area by one's self or with others, security can be set. Alone, we can post up just out of sight and spend some time looking for movement both up and down the road. After crossing in a hasty manner, stopping to once again survey the danger area to determine if you were spotted.
With more than one person, the first person in line can post security on the road as the next person crosses. Then that next person posts security on the far side of the road as anyone else crosses the road.
I feel this step should not be ignored even if your party is unarmed. Having the knowledge that you have been spotted and may be followed is important information to have.
Scroll to the road, brothers.
13:30 Kevin throw the damn stick.
Mike, I know this has nothing to do with this vid, but curious on what type of wrist watches you wear? Thanks brother, for all you and your brothers have done, and what you continue to do for our country! God bless you brother.
He says it in the video
Bugging with knee injury and replacement on foot wife's ok and healthy son is healthy but I deal with knee pain hunt with trekking poles thay are a life saver but thay create noise?
I have two pack burros that I will be using for “bugging out” if that time comes. They can carry a lot more than I can.
GIA GPS app on your phone or the Base Map app will work without cell service, its satellite driven, I use it all the time in the Rockies
where ever you bug out you will be entering into another's AO.
I'm a trucker, so my bug out bag is more of a get home bag, for a 2 week hike/camping trip. Any suggestions?
Check out the next video in the series, Kevin does a deep dive into his bugout bag.
Good basics 👍 might be worth mentioning to peeps that you need to know your incline and decline pace count 🇦🇺😎
I hear people always say.... When the shit hits the fan, I'm just going to the mountains and the woods...
Problem #1- alot of people have the same plan and the government knows that.
Problem#2- the locals or landowners in rural areas are not going to let people just come through their property.
Problem#3- people who live in rural areas and own land know the terrain better than 95% of the population.
Problem#4- almost all landowners in rural Areas hunt and own a lot of firearms. They don't have to travel they can just defend their castle, and know that you are coming.
Not to mention that there’s no way to pack everything you need for a year let alone more than that so the elements and bugs/animals and diseases will probably kill you before anything
I guess civilization didn’t start till the 1900’s when people started to get fancy gadgets. Come on man, just plain dishonest, a group of 10 can easily carry what they need to survive long term.
@@JS-wf7um if they have the knowledge and preparedness... What I was pointing out is that people who live in rural America aren't going to just let people come on their land and endager their way of life.
Great job guys! A ton of good info! Think you guys could do a video on tabbing? Army taught us walking below a ridgeline, and spacing in groups, im certain you guys have much more experience in this, and can help us normally trained grunts and such...
Good video for city people that have never had basic military training....
Again. Mike puts it out in easily digestible nuggets for all primates with opposable thumbs. Thank you.
Got me!! (5:52) Thanks you MG and KO. What pack is MG using? And have you used a Sawyer water filter? Again thanks for the video. Love the podcast have listen to all and some over and over Hope KO get his f150 fixed!
It’s a pack from TYR Tactical! And thank you, glad to have you on the channel man!
@@fieldcraftsurvival huge fan of you all at fieldcraft.
Solid content. I like the format, keeping it short and presenting concepts. Each of us will have to apply them to our circumstances.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time!
Great video as usual. Nothing but the best from Mike. Always appreciate the tips! Looking forward to the videos to come.
Thanks guys,I had no idea of what to do since I am in the city,but am trying to formulate some type of plan,and it is good to get some great ideas from you all!
Ive been bugging out for years and now it will finally have meaning, lol
I'm gonna bug out in the woods with 7 billion other people. save a deer for me...
Your dog was persistent about that stick 😂
Amazing videos and great knowledge to share, we spoke very briefly before but if you ever need a backup aerial videographer/photographer please let me know and we can talk more.
Major respect and thanks. I really appreciate the great info and the effort that you put into your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Who else tripped while crossing danger areas lol. Cant be just me right? Right?
New viewer and subscriber! Your videos are awesome and very informative.
Awesome! Glad to have you!! Thank you
Mike, I'm not a military guy, but preparing nonetheless. So for us guys, can you talk about what bugging out is, why you might want to, and why you might need to? Also, what might your objective be in a bugout situation? Of course I've heard the terms before, but I'm interested in the mindset or rationale behind it.
Check out episode 167 and 168 of our podcast, we go in depth in bugging out, what is and what you need to prepare.
The cicada's around here (melbourne vic) have stopped for the last two years !...Also a government houseing project has been evacuated!... whatever caused it seems supernatural!...
Probably all the shit in the chemtrails have wiped them out
Great Recon mission on the landscape when hiking and bugging out contingency plan
Yer man Irish?
I remember being in basic at Benning... and cupping my ears to hear like you did in the video.... The DS came up to me and chewed my ass hard, asked what the hell i was doing blah blah blah.... I looked at him and said you do not spend much time in the woods do you DS.... well i did bear crawls for a couple hrs.... he was pissed when a Ranger tab came up and told him i was right
Chet, we were taught to breathe equally through both nose & mouth to minimize the sound of your own breathing, not only for your own security but also to improve your ability to hear.
It also increased your smelling capabilities. 👍👌🖖
Also always stay on the move never staying at one camp more that a few days,,every spot you stay at dig an under ground pit that you can squeeze everyone into for when drones or helicopters with FLIR heat imaging fly over,,,cover the pit with limbs and foliage, alot of it,,,set up watch points with guarding at night, set up trip alarms thirty meters minimum away from site,try to be at a high point with 360 degrees view if can and don't forget they have thousands of cameras in orbit to watch you so stay under dense forested areas
It’s like Korean Ashton Kutcher and Irish Burt Gummer. But more tactical.
The trail runs both ways too. Maybe you are using the same route to get home.
How many people was thinking throw that stick for that dog 🤣🤣
Good boy🐕
I totally disagree with using your cell phone for anything. Pre-mapping the territory with Google and especially carrying the device with you. That device currently track everything that you doing right now. Otherwise, good information. Thanks
I agree but I don't know why. Who's coming for you out there?
For some people the whole point is to drop off the radar not carry a dang homing beacon lol
@@mux2724 - actually, JESUS is coming for me. Who's coming for you? 😊🙏🙏🙏
@Stefano Dawg
- At the rapture, we meet JESUS in the clouds, faster than a micro-second.
1 Corinthians 15:52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
- If we're going into the tribulation to meet the antichrist, why would Paul tell us to comfort one another?
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
- At HIS second coming, the whole world will see JESUS coming and we'll be with HIM.
Revelation 1:7
Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
- Who are the "chosen" in the next verse
Revelation 17:14
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
- JESUS promised us that we would be with HIM wherever HE is.
John 14:1-3
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
- The Bible says that we are not appointed to wrath. JESUS took the wrath in our place, on the cross.
John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
1 Thessalonians 1:10
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
1 Thessalonians 5:9
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ephesians 5:6
Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
- The tribulation is the temptation coming upon the world, not the bride of CHRIST.
Revelation 3:10
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
I agree. Why not just use compass and map from the get go. It'll save on weight carrying chargers, extra batteties ect.
Really enjoyed the podcasts episodes, glad to see a video to go with it.
This makes me miss my home state of Arizona!!! Especially northern AZ!!! Beautiful!!
If it’s a situation where I have to bug out I am not taking my cell phone odds are the government will be calm looking for people who are trying to hide
Use non smart phone?
Mike, Love this video.Just a quick question.Would it any advantage to walk across a narrow dirt road backwards to at least buy your group some time if you are being looked for ?Thanks alot.
Chris Maurer that will fool an untrained tracker but a footprint looks different when you walk backwards
Toe digs in deeper
Kevin Owens Your'e right that's one of the reason's I asked this question.
Bug out is such an Army term lol, but the acronyms were spot on (STOP, LOOK,LISTEN, SMELL,) infantry 101...
Reconnaissance is a great skill set. G.P.S., compass and maps, water, chow, med kit, ammo..fire starter. Flashlight mirror(signaling) Knife, spare socks, Snivel gear (cold or wet weather)C/B radio.. small Drone with spare batteries.
Solar powered.charger.....
3-4. Day supply of water and filter system,chow...now ur set for a 3 day L.R.R.P....
Yes. Please expound on this. Also cover a little more from an evasion corridor planning process.
Informative, thanks guys
I highly recommend the Aquamira Frontier Max for better water filtering on a bug out! It filters viruses and bacteria and upto 120gallons and runs shout $50 on Amazon.
Very good tips. Thanks for sharing.
People should be aware that while walking up and down steep hills, their pace count can change drastically. Also there should be provisions made for stream crossings.
After it hits the fan, bridges over unfordable streams are likely to become bottle necks, controlled by government personnel or bad actors. I recommend one member of every group carry a quality raft and rope for such crossings.
While I am an expert navigator, I also recommend that folks use the internet now, to find viable escape routes that don't require instruments of navigation. I recommend they survey the possibility of using high voltage power line easements, wherever they are available. These high voltage transfer lines, are nearly always placed to avoid high density populations. They aren't always the shortest route but in the extra time that it takes to navigate, you will likely make up the time. Now is the time to discover what easements are passable and what routes deliver you nearest your destination. Walk it if possible and note any landmarks or things that are not apparent on google maps. Often the geological survey maps of corresponding counties are more detailed than Google and almost always taken while foliage is not present. And they denote private property from public lands which should also be a known variable.
Mike thanks for all the info you give us
I would rather not set up caches. I’d rather have a vehicle setup the way mike has his Tacoma I believe it is, with a floor organizer. Beef up that suspension and be ready to go at all times with gear in it at all times. If fuel runs out that vehicle can still be used as shelter until you acquire what you need to fix it. Idk just seems like too much to deal with setting up caches and stuff. Cache of water is kind of a waste when you can have storage bins in your bug out vehicle to collect along the way. Have the means to purify as well. That bleach baby.
It’s important to have a homestead with a bug out location not being too far of a foot trek from your home but still up a way and hidden. It’s great for if you should have to retreat and avoid a fight on the fly so you can go to the retreat spot to come back again do reconnaissance on that enemy group and devise a plan based on observation to take what another group took from your own
The likely hood of actually running out to the wilds is just about zero, bordering on fantasy. Chances are people will be already be there or in very close proximity if there are any resources. It's fun to plan and think about but for those with a family it's not really a solution. Just try camping with kids for a week and you'll see what it really takes. Cheers
I was trained by big foot so the wood is my domain. Be shadows my friend.
when i was in the teams bigfoot would train us on recon ops
13:26 Awww that dog is trying to play fetch but he’s getting no love
Stay stealth....Bring a stupid dog. Anyways, survival weighs as much as is needed. Start with everything, it can always be discarded per the situation.
Enjoyed this very much thank you. New subscriber. What UAV was your camera person using? That's a great way to scout a wide area quickly!
It’s a Mavic Pro! Super cool tool tonuse
@@fieldcraftsurvival Thanks for the reply! I have a M2 Pro personally but fly everything from the Air, Phantoms up to the 210 for work.
Only recently found your channel after watching your interview with Sean Ryan. Thank you for what you have done for this Country and what you continue to do to help folks now.
Great video Mike, what ruck are you carrying, and where can I get one of those hats
Great information, Just shooting this out there but ever thought about a family with children type of skillset instruction? movements, ect will be very challenging. Thank you.
What I did for my kids (6 son's) was made it sort of a game like they are soldiers in call of duty. I was a bit of a gamer back then and they watched me play. To keep them close to me they watched for my hand movements for instructions as far as 50 yard's out. They took turns in cycle glancing at me after each instruction. They took to instruction very easy very young. Silence was important to them so they could hear vocal instruction and movement in the area they had been in. This was done all on foot 4 days out of the week for a year covering a total of 14 miles round-trip all on connecting playgrounds and running paths. They are much bigger now and they still know how to do everything. It wasn't training. It was a way to keep moving fun and them making sure they didn't get far from me without instruction. Wish I had video on it all. It was sooooooo easy lol!
@@johnborges8231 Great idea, they are really sponges
Like Mike and Kevin are saying. Don't rough it for the sake of roughin' it. If the shit really hits the fan then aim for "the lowest level of comfort". Meaning carry the the minimum amount of gear that you would feel comfortable surviving with woods, city, desert, whatever. The more you know the less you carry but if you aren't Mors Kochanski then don't try to be. You rough it too hard and you won't get good sleep and that will ruin your shit even if you have trained with sleep deprivation. I like Joshua Enyart's take on it. "Why should I settle for better than nothing? What happened to having adequate tools?"
Scanning with binoculars is a plus.
