Hope y’all Honey Smack Dig the adventure style films using the gear! Thanks for watching 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Really enjoyed watching them. Ever tried doing a SERE video? Pick a starting point, pick an ending point, and have either mil or police friends trying to intercept you using their man hunting skills and tactics before you get to the ending point. You can do this in an urban environment as well. It would be a hoot!
@@williamneal7210 Yes! I certainly have and think that is a great idea!!!
this is the type of video/conversation I like; APPLICATION of concepts...tested...in reality...and done with HUMILITY.
Much thanks and much respect to you and Jason, sir!
Glad you liked it!
We really appreciate the positive feedback- it’s how we get ideas to make this style of video 🔥
How about an "urban extraction" video, since some of us work inside the city, and 50 miles from home? Love the vids, and especially the info on the electrolytes, and specific gear!
Roger that! Thanks for letting us know your situation, watching the video and the kind words!
Lord knows how much content you shot and how much you actually used. I for one appreciate the efforts you've made to bring this to us.
I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT!!! Haha.. You are absolutely right- soooo much footage I left out to try to keep it shorter.. Thank you!
Impressive knowledge....Great video,well done.
Thank you 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
I think an extended lights out situation is the most likely scenario for most Americans....
That’s a great topic for Chris Dwulet on Survival Dispatch news- I will definitely pass this on to him! Thanks for watching and posting this comment 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Have there been many power outages in America recently?
@@MichaelB2LYes, there has.. It’s quite a vulnerable system we have now
@@FueltheFires Mad… we had a few small outages in the UK but nothing major or longer than a few hours.
@@MichaelB2LBRUH....out here in the mountains, we always get power outages. Summer and winter. Normal everyday life...lol
The concern is the "big one" where an EMP, either by attack or from a massive sun CME, takes out the entire power grid for months over even past a year. THEN you're talking nightmare scenario....
""Woolsey responded, “It’s briefly dealt with in the commission report of [2008]. There are essentially two estimates on how many people would die from hunger, from starvation, from lack of water, and from social disruption. One estimate is that within a year or so, two-thirds of the United States population would die. The other estimate is that within a year or so, 90% of the U.S. population would die. We’re talking about total devastation. We’re not talking about just a regular catastrophe.”"
As I am a Truck Driver ..My SHTF is : Is Some Grid down situation...Traffic isn't moving 20 miles outside major city and nothing is moving ..And I have to exit my Semi for good...And hit the woods for next 100 miles...My bag has everything that is needed for what is at hand....weighs 25lbs...
My senerio...
Thanks for letting us know!
The sassafras is also a very nice thing to chew on. While you're walking, it freshens your breath and keeps your mouth watering.
Absolutely! Thanks for posting that 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
At least for the foreseeable future. If anything happens, I would have no choice but to bug in.
Most people don’t realize bugging in is the way to go.. Bugging out would be the very last resort
@@FueltheFires I always figured that would be the way it would go as well. Hunker down and wait whatever out. At the moment I'm tethered to an oxygen machine. So I'm actually trying to figure out a cost effective longer term portable option for the worst of cases.
Liked the video. Thanks for doing it. For a scout I carry a Sawyer water filter and 2 Sawyer roll up bags and a disposable drink bottle that fits the Sawyer. Don’t take up much room and easy to plus up water till the next resupply. I used to carry a lightweight DIY hammock, now I use a DD ultra light hammock and detachable bug net. I always bring a poncho as it can rain in the late afternoon in the mountains of Virginia. And a military bug head net. While it can be hot as Heck during the day it can also go down to 50 or even in the 40’s at night. I bring thermals as they squish down and are lightweight, and fresh winter socks. I also bring a fleece beanie as well. Safety pinning a SOL double sized Mylar sheet to a poncho liner is a better option than a sleeping bag. I put some clear Gorilla duct tape in key spots before pinning the Mylar to the liner. The Survive Outdoors Longer Mylar sheet is quiet, stronger, and inexpensive. And it will help take you down to lower temps with seasonal clothing on. I also put and reinforced a slit into the Mylar so my head could just go through it. And I put a long zipper in the Poncho liner to allow my head to go through so I could wear the Mylar, liner and poncho together. The SOL doubled sized Mylar sheet also makes a great 5 oz tarp. So mate one Mylar Sheet to the liner or your Summer sleeping bag and prepare the other one Mylar Sheet with cordage for a tarp. Hot non caffeinated drink options and couple of snickers bars can get you through a wettin or a night if chilled even if you can get a fire going. And because it is usually damp or wet in the woods I’d like to recommend the 2.5 oz multi fuel two burner Pill Bottle Stove at www.neotrekk.com. I like it better than Hex tabs or the alcohol cat can stove for making hot drinks. Too bad you couldn’t construct and capture some of the rain in different spots along that dry Creek bed and place multiple Caches in case you and others have to stay out of sight for awhile. A few natural stealth camps already constructed would be help especially during inclement weather like rain or snow. You never know when a planned traverse may turn into the need for a sanctuary for awhile. I wouldn’t put your cache at your different camps cause your camps could be compromised at some point. Salt, rice for carbs and calories, multivitamins especially high dose B vitamins and magnesium citrate better absorbed,, olive oil for healthy fat, chia seeds for protein, spices for meat or soup, can make a prolonged stay possible and is unaffected by freezing can easily cached. Bullion does not store well. Flour can freeze but will either go rancid or deteriorate after a year. Macaroni would also be very good to alternate with rice. Hard candy is worth caching too. And some canned food, coffee and tea bags, and rice packets meals, for temporary unplanned stays can be rotated out yearly. I’d also cache some wire snares for squirrels and heavy wire snares for deer or hog. And spare fishing supplies, including some yo yo reels.
These are all excellent points and recommendations! I appreciate the time it took to share your experience and gear recs- thank you for watching and sharing the knowledge 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Great info . Stay calm and think ...Yes
Thank you!
Cool content on a hot day! Thanks!
My pleasure- thanks for watching 🔥
Great video! You have a new subscriber. Thanks for the info.
Thank you so much- welcome to the tribe 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Very cool video. Please do more of these.
Thank you and we can certainly make that happen 🔥
Thanks for another great video! I live in northern California not far from where the camp fire was in 2018 . The disasters we face are wild fires flooding long term power loss to prevent wild fires and much more. I personally know people who have lost power for 18+ days due to a public safety power shut off.
I appreciate you watching and for letting us know that.. Wildfires are a very real SHTF scenario.. A future video on this topic would be a great idea 🔥
Looking forward to seeing the video.
Awesome very informative thank you 👍
Awesome! Thank you for watching 🔥
I spent 15 years in western North Carolina. Hiking in the Pisgah for days at a time.
This was a nice hike for me to enjoy vicariously. Thank you for that.
Also lived in Cartersville for a year, so I’m familiar with the forests of north Georgia.
👍🏼👍🏼
This is a really good video!!!!!! Well done,and well thought out!!!!!!!!!! 👍
I appreciate that very much- thank you!!! 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Chanterelle mushrooms , looks like to me.
They were
😂
ABSOLUTELY GREAT VIDEO! A TON OF KNOWLEDGE was shared in this video! Thank you JJ for filming this video for us! Wish Jason Could have come along! Ive seen that spot from my sky light while flying around. Great spot! I wish there was a spot i could land and drop in on SHTF day! (Joking, but not really! ) haha! Stay strapped, stay safe, until we meet again!
Jason
An ex-fill from there would be AWESOME!!! 😂 I really appreciate the support and kind words brother.. Thanks for supporting the channel and what we do 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
@FueltheFires NO Bro, thank YOU for what YOU do!! And Jason too! You guys are really my kind of people. I wish I had the means to pick up and move to yall. But, life is what is is at this point. All this knowledge I have, won't mean much if I can only survive shtf, to die of my medical issues. But, with that said, you have to die from something right!? Haha! Keep up the great work! Stay strapped, stay insane, and stay prepared! One of these sayings has to stick! Haha
Great video
Thank you!
Awesome video! Thanks for posting!
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
ordered 2 Pre-filters - Great tip
Cool!!! Good choice- two is one and one is none!
I’d love a four square discussion video on the top 10 things to do now before the upcoming election/lockdown 2.0 season 💥 💥 💥
I will pass this on to Chris Dwulet with Survival Dispatch news for you 👍🏻
@@AclockworkPurple 😆 good one, boot licker. Why are you even in these comments? Shouldn’t you be watching a video on drag shows for kids or some pedo crap like that?
@@AclockworkPurpleI got an implant- much easier
I definitely like these types of videos the best thanks for the awesome content brother can't wait to see more. 👍
Rock on 🤘🏻 Thanks for the feedback- and also for the continued support 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
There's no substitute for electrolytes in August in Georgia. That looked like a nice plot to tromp around on.
For sure.. What kills me is the camera doesn’t really capture the terrain like it really is.. I wish there was a better way
Awesome vid. I was starting to feel suspense when you were tracking.
Me too!!! I was on high alert- especially after I realized he was just there and the scent from the bed was SO strong.. I was really hoping to find him to get some content lol.. Thanks for watching brother 👊🏻
Great video brother. Love them chanterell mushrooms. I love the mountains. But have grown up in southeast ga. My goal is to get a place in the mountains. Maybe the good lord blesses me with both. I've got family in NC in the mountains. They don't have much humidity. That's what kills me here.
I love the mountains myself and we appreciate your continued support on this channel 👊🏻🔥👊🏻.. The chanterelles were awesome up there!
@FueltheFires we don't have many bears down south. When I first saw the rubs on the trees I thought it was a hog. They love to rub like the bears do I guess. Once again great video man
@@elevatorman7750-Yes, hogs do the exact same thing!
Civil unrest that seems to be America's biggest problem right now like what's been going on in the Northwest areas I'd like your opinion on what should be done if something like that happens by me in the Northeast area thanks for the vids I enjoy them
Absolutely- I think we could definitely do a video on this in the future 👍🏻
Umm...I think we've discussed it a LOT... I think next time we need to do a good urban exfil exercise together JJ!
Good times!... plain simple!
Thank you! 👊🏻
@@FueltheFires no!... thank you! i loved it!
@@user-McGiverReally appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching 🔥
@@FueltheFires my pleasure! I do have a question though... I have zero experience with bears, not any here in Australia and back in Greece not many and not a threat, but I wonder, since they try to avoid us, would it be wise to make a nice as we walk?... to announce our presents?... I'm thinking a ''clicker'' or something... a simply repeated noise?...I know the old times used to sing... or talk.. [ following the deer trail was a good idea for the bear too... ]
@@user-McGiverYes, making some type of noise is a good idea.. However, sometimes the wrong noise can be detrimental because of what we call the big “C”- curiosity.. Bears have over 300 million olfactory receptors and can smell you miles off.. Best to act normal and talk every so often 👍🏻
after accidently coming across A WASP NEST I suggest a head net or a top body net. Mt dogs got stuung many times. very painful.
Yes!!! There were bees, wasps and hornets everywhere out there!
Great video. Nice place to bury a stash.
Thank you! And yes, it would be a GREAT place to have a cache stashed 🔥
The most likely shtf situation for me personally is no electricity and no water. I have water but not enough for three months. I have enough food for three months for myself and my dog. But I will lose some important foods if my refrigerator stops working.
Roger that -thanks for responding!
id like to see more desert locations i live in Arizona and yes it gets very hot, the his was a very good video and you covered most of needs that we all face in the outdoors.
Yeah we definitely would like to get access to a desert location so we could do that.. Tyler (TJack Survival) lives out in Utah and we might could make that happen! Thanks for watching 🔥
Looks like a fun place. Looking forward to seeing the video.
Jason is out filming part II as we speak and there will be a third video with both of us after his video 👍🏻
I’m really loving your challenge videos. This one was great with the explanations of used gear. You guys do an excellent job of presenting a canvas and then handing off the paintbrush for others to become more situationally aware and to be prepared by painting our own unique situations in which to apply techniques learned to. Every situation is different, and the foundations shared by you all are pure gold whether people realize it or not. You should be proud of what y’all are accomplishing.
I love my Tarahumara pack w/exception of the side pockets not accommodating the USGI titanium canteens. I did manage to fit one & use the other side as a garage. A Hydrapk Seeker 3L attaches quite comfortably on the yoke of the pack for carrying filtered water you’ve acquired in the field btw. 😉
Keep em’ coming! 😊
As a fellow big guy me and humidity don't mix. In saphire valley nc it hardly ever gets to 90 degrees. And if it does there's no humidity. Sounds like my kinda place.
I HATE HUMIDITY 😂.. I absolutely love NC-especially up in DuPont.. I used to teach survival, land nav and technical rescue there every year.. Beautiful country
@FueltheFires yes sir. My wife lived in Brevard when we first started dating. It's beautiful up there.
Live here in Australia. I work in a mine 700km from home. In case of EMP I carry a bike and bike trailer in the car. Most survivalist channels I watch they base there getting home by walking. Pity using a bike is not talked about more.
Bikes are making a comeback in the U.S.. Especially the electric bike community.. I think a good old fashioned pedal bike is a sound choice though..
Our most likely SHTF IS HURRICANE AS we like on the Florida coast
I worked the Gulf side during Katrina and can definitely shed light on that.. Unfortunately the video I did on storm systems is no longer up.. We can make another one happen at some point though..
Minimal gear, maximum fun. 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Making more with less 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Dance, run and skip through a disaster 😉
One more time me JJ! The fungus you found were Chanterell! In Austria we cal them "Eierschwammerl"😉😅, Germans call them "Pfifferlinge". Have nice time in the woods and all the best from Austria 🤠👍🏕🔥
You are correct! I even learned something myself with your post there- thanks 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
@@FueltheFires 😉👍
thank you, nice to hear that, I appreciate that! Stay safe and all the best Bernd 🤠👍🏕🔥
Love these type of videos, looking forward to more
Awesome! This style is my favorite and you will definitely see more 🔥
I love that stove, it runs off natural fuel and looks to be the perfect size
Yes, I think it’s the perfect addition to any reasonable kit.. It’s highly efficient and just “smart” in my humble opinion.. Love that thing 🔥
I live in Ontario, Canada, so I've already been through blizzards and ice storms. Luckily I was indoors at the time. I wasn't foolish enough to go outside once they started. We also get the occasional tornado.
Gotcha! Thanks for letting us know where you’re at and potential situations as well- thanks for watching!
Chantarelle shrooms
Correct!
Great job!
Appreciate that!
Kool track with good advice
Thank you!
My dung already hit the fan. I went from house to apartment, then car and now a foot homeless and winter is here. I have several scout pits I dug over time with descent caches. Thank God for the town being surrounded by BLM land. I have an electric bike and solar setup for charging. I stay the hell away for the street homeless people. I urban trap for meat and stocked up the can foods during the summer. My biggest challenge is washing clothes and keeping my canned foods from freezing. The best solution so far is storing all my foods under water in the local river.
Always enjoy your vids bud!
Thanks
Loved the video! I'm new to the sight but not to prepping. Great content! What do you do about Ticks and creepy crawlies at night when sleeping? I moved to Ohio from Az. The Ticks and other shit freaks me out here. I carry a hammock to sleep in here. I would not be able to sleep on the ground. I'm a 10mm fan also.
Awesome! I HIGHLY prefer a hammock as well… As far as ticks, chiggers etc, I treat my clothes with permethrin and I use a bug dope formula from the 1800’s (I will do a video on it in the future).. Natural repellents include American Beauty Berry and most plants in the mint family.. I use hickory leaves for bedding which helps with chiggers specifically.. Glad there’s another 10mm fan out there 👊🏻
Hello JJ.! Nice to have meet your acquaintances. We watch Fuel The Fires & ON3 as a family viewing, with our three girls whom admire the skills you shares with your viewers. You are one of their heroes besides JS. Our girls are bushcraft & survival proficient but there's always more to learn. We brought our children up to also Look, Listen & Learn from others. Take in what is required and share it with others. Knowledge gained has more value if it is shared. Our girls also make remarks & comments about your show & others. Their mother encourage it & that's how they learn from the professionals. Flavoured hydralytes are great addition to water found in the woods either from mother earth, plants or skies. The twins suggested that you wrap you gummy bears & snacks with your soaked shemagh to keep it cool, especially in high temperatures (twins live on gummy bears) & also add a small umbrella and safety glasses/goggles to your carry. The oldest sister suggested that after checking for widow makers, you should look around the tree trunk for anything that could bite or sting you before sitting down. Here in Australia, we've got reptiles & insects that can make your day less pleasant. She also suggested that you carry an inhaler, of course after discussing with your physician first. Even better if you just stop smoking. Apology mate, they're their mother's girls.!! By the way mate, could you tell us a bit more about your fixed blade? Thank you for sharing your skills with our family. Cheers from Australia. Looking forward to your & JS bug out scenerio.
Awesome post and I appreciate the time it took to make it! Thanks for the kind words, suggestions and insight!! I think all of that info is great mate.. Love hearing of how y’all do the “family” thing.. Smoking is definitely a hard habit of mine to break- the mental health pros tell me it’s a comfort mechanism from all the stuff I experienced in the field and it’s been more than difficult to break the habit.. I absolutely love the gummy bear/shemagh idea- very kool! I might just have to try that along with some of the other suggestions.. Down under, y’all have some SERIOUS nasty bugs, snakes etc.. Much respect 👊🏻
The fixed blade in this video is an ESEE PR-4.. Excellent all around blade.. My pocket blade is a #9 Opinel that I modified.. My absolute favorite fixed blade is my SURVIVE! GSO 5.1- couldn’t help myself lol
@@FueltheFires Cheers mate. We make knives for our girls & modified their multitools for outback usages. Their mother carry a small modified Opinel, had it for decades, sentimental value I think. Thanks cobber.!
.
I LOLd at the Freak out clip after you asked what’s the first thing you do in an emergency….hahaha. Great video and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Chanterelles, maybe Orange Peel? Hard to tell without seeing the bottom.
You win UA-cam for mentioning “seeing the bottom”- good job!
Seems to me, one always hears about people getting stranded in their vehicle during blizzards,....that might be the most likely scenario for the majority of people I guess?
We can certainly do a video like that this winter 💪🏻
I'm a shorthaul driver so I'm never more than 60 mi or so from home. I carry a standard lunch box and a gallon of water in different containers. There's a giant body of water that separates it all.
That’s a great position to be in as far as water is concerned- that’s a big one off the list!
@FueltheFires well I do road work so you never know if you'll be flagging or hauling material. I may have to be pushing snow for 48 hrs.
I noble job and I for one appreciate it
60 miles could mean anything from 3 to 7 days of travel. Big water has its own problems. Access points and who controls them. Circumventing them is added travel time. Perhaps carry some cash or PM to buy/bribe your way across.
Hi I'm a retired Army veteran I work at a auto salvage yard
I love salvage yards! And thanks for your service 🔥
Those yellow jackets wanted you to share 😆
They were everywhere 😂
I like your thinking about not having to ‘get out of a bag’ to find out what’s happening. I rarely use a tent for just that reason. A lean-to is more than sufficient for me.
And a sleeping bag to me is nothing more than a quilt with a foot box.
Great video just found your channel excellent content well delivered just had to subscribe will spend a bit of time bingeing on you back catalogue thanks for the content look forward to what is to come
Great vid
Thank you!
Some of those Chantrells in butter and garlic would be perfection.
You got that right!
I was stationed at Ft. Stewart GA. for a couple years. When you talk about the heat, I feel 'ya. Seemed like it was either 106 and raining or 108, Hot and humid. Or back to hot and humid after the rain, lol. we would hang our boots up at night because crawlies would make there way into them. Misquitos, Spiders. Man, I gotta' say, I dont miss Geaorgia, lol. I swear those woods were alive at night.... Love the content, Love survival dispatch!
What scares me more than anything is that I will be driving to another town to visit friends, and something will go wrong with my car and I'll be stuck on the highway in 111° F. I always have my car checked from top to bottom before going on a trip, but bad things can still happen.
That is a valid concern and we have talked about doing a video on just that topic!
I also have my car checked out before going out of town. I live in West Texas and being stuck on the side of the road can be deadly in the summer heat.
First time watch. Great content. Thanks. 12:03
23:41 last night a raccoon shat in my mouth. 😮
30:54 super
OK, no one responded to your comment about "underwood". What is it???
Underwood is a brand of ammo which is extremely popular for the 10mm- the 200 grain hardcast is especially good for bears 👍🏻
I’m running it in a Glock 20 pistol which is preferable for large game over the Glock 29.. The 20 has a longer barrel which gives more velocity..
@FueltheFires Thank you! I never heard of that ammo for 10mm. For my backcountry adventures, I have a Glock 21 .45ACP and a conversion barrel to 10mm.
@@lisajohnston6422My pleasure and that’s just cool as all get out 👊🏻
Remember the OLD t.v. show called Beretta?
I like to wear those accessories in size 9.
😂 love it!
Why walk when you can ride?
Why stand when you can sit?
Why sit when you can lie down?
Why stay awake when you can sleep?
NEVER PASS A SOURCE OF FRESH WATER......JJ!
You knew better! Lol
I be knowin’ brother- Despite my best efforts, I’m still human 😂
I spend most of my time working security for a third party on a military base.
That’s a good place to be!
The mayor possible scenario I guess we will face here are big power outages, civil unrest and even a war is right on the front porch at the moment.the area I live in is big woodland mountain terrain on one side and a big river on the other side near 20 to 50 km range of bigger cities 200k plus people.
I like the way of video you did with this here. Calm and relaxed not one of this hyper nervous ohh my good I survive videos
Thanks for letting me know that.. There are certainly lots of survival scenario based video types out there for everyone.. My goal is to try to keep people thinking and applying whatever knowledge I can share.. I certainly appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching and commenting 🔥
Great video! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Another really good trip with an overnighter. You are either brave (or crazy 😂) to do this in the summer! I live in the valley of K'villle N. of you, we had an ef2 Monday, 2.5 mi. from us! We didn't lose power, (where we are) but didn't have internet for 24 hrs. Thankfully no damage!! We are also (stuck) in the city limits, looking for a place to go! Looking forward to the next one! Take care in this heat!
Crazy is probably the most likely answer 😂.. Glad y’all are ok with no damage! Thanks for letting us know your situation- it will certainly help us for future videos 👊🏻
Most of the survival instruction I've had has been in Florida or South America. Survival in the summer is way way easier than the winter. In the southeast water is usually plentiful and you probably won't get hypothermia. You might get heat exhaustion....but you won't if you manage your water and work.
@@bmphil3400I literally prefer the winter as I hate the heat.. I suppose it’s what you’re used to of course.. My favorite trip was on the Boundry Waters in between Canada and the U.S.- 26 degrees on 24” of ice.. There’s a video of it on my personal YT channel- JJ Morris
@@FueltheFires I've got two friends that have done the winter survival course up there....or near there....I would like to do a winter one with Karamat or Jack Mountain in ME.
I would also like to do a Desert one. I have pretty good skill in tropical and temperate climates.
I paddled 84 miles of the Allagash in ME a few years back. Those guys I went with had been to the boundary waters.....
I commend you for training and wanting to continue.. The schools you mentioned are excellent schools.. Keep it up!
I would like to know about the way to keep high energy without eating
Copy that- vote counted!
Nice video!
I live in a small City and I spend a lot of time out at the reservoir here fishing oftentimes like to go into the woods and just chill out
That’s my church.. I feel ya
I work in Nashville tn and live about 37 miles by road north and my wife works in the downtown area. My biggest fear is a wide range power outage or an emp. Meeting up with the wife and then getting home. Video ideas ?
Yes! The more feedback we get from the audience- the better.. Thanks for responding so we know your situation/concerns etc. 👍🏻
Thank you
Would be inteested in a video about the 5 day sustainment you mentioned. Thanks.
Roger Wilco!
Great advice- S. T. O. P.
Hi! I’m a “native” of South Florida and have gone through numerous hurricanes..as a child going through a hurricane, a coconut pierced our shutters and came crashing through the glass window not far from me, so i have gone through scary times. That being said, to say this area has grown since my childhood is a HUGE UNDERSTATEMENT, so at this point I know what to do and what to pack, but HOW TO NAVIGATE AROUND THE MASSES is my biggest concern at this point…..we have only a few major highways going north/south; the swampy Everglades AND Lake Okeechobee in the middle….a few 2 lane highways and local streets along the way in the middle and a few highways (US1 and Dixie Highway) on the east side near the ocean side………ANY SUGGESTIONS ……🤔
I worked Katrina so I definitely have insight on that.. A future video might just be the answer 👍🏻
Yup in south georgia here and I think thats one of our number one concerns because it happens every year lol. We also have to prep for you guys coming up to get away from it haha
I ran into a copperhead, a few weeks ago, behind my kennel at the base of the woodline. It was a fiesty little fellow 😆 but it didn't save him. It looked female and like it may have been pregnant, just after dog days ended also but where it was close to my dogs I dispatched it and got rid of the body so it couldn't harm my pets. Those things will burn you up if you don't see them
I personally have experience with this- I got bit when I was in my 20’s.. One of the scariest moments of my life.. Copperheads are a formidable enemy
I really enjoyed this video & the evidence of bear activity (very interesting)- the filter bag used before pouring into the Grayl (where can I buy it)?
Awesome! Thanks for watching- Campcraft Outdoors (online) has the pre-filters 👍🏻
Wildfires.
Yes- I worked the wildfires in the Carolinas and that is a formidable enemy for sure!!!
Self feeding fire !
Excellent method!
Chantelle. And a videoon how to conserve 95 % of your energy that you mentioned.
Chanterelle is the answer and I appreciate the vote for the BugOut hack 👍🏻
Good stuff. Have you found since you have done these trials that it has impacted what you carry in your bag vs what you thought you would need? I’ve seen some folks loadouts and they have something for everything they can imagine. I’ve gone on several overnighters myself and I’m finding I’m carrying less and less stuff each time. I’m not survivorman I have a couple creature comforts but if I’m practicing get home skills or get from point to point skills. I probably dont need everything in my bag so more stuff is getting left in my trunk instead of carried. I’m not ultralight the purpose is to train with weight on, so I can find the hotspots & weak areas before I’m in a real event.
You just described my thoughts on the subject exacting.. Over the years and years, I have gone through many evolutions.. This pack was designed based on a previous back injury.. I wouldn’t exactly call it minimum- I think it’s important to have some creature comforts in fact.. People tend to carry WAY MORE than they need.. I think you’re definitely on the right track.. This pack weighs 12 pounds- with extra ammo 👍🏻
I think meat tenderizer and salt substitute have alot of potassium.....
Gonna have to check into that
@@FueltheFires it's the salt substitute. Also Dried apricot, raisins, prunes and almonds are high in it.
Knowing that, some trail mix would probably be a really good idea for a short term energy food in hot weather.......
@@bmphil3400Absolutely!
👍
J.J. have watched a few of your vids with Jason on SD.. and I found your channel from before and subscribed. Love the walk and talk video and showing you pre-filter the water for the Grayl.( that's what I do but a little differently) it makes the filter last longer..
Stay safe out there, watch out for those trail cams ..lol
I spend most of my time now in heavy timberland with some swampy areas in the western Kentucky area.
I was taught that when you enter the forest and are going to walk in the forest for a long time, you should immediately make/cut/pick up a stick/cane/staff for yourself and move on with it.
Simple, strong and reliable 'cane' helps to move in the forest.
What can you say about the use of 'cane' in the forest?
PS sorry for bad english, ImTranslator helps)
Yes, the staff is a great tool to have.. In this particular scenario, I was navigating a lot of terrain that was rocky and steep.. I needed my hands a good bit.. I don’t carry a staff on the regular but it is certainly a time tested tool that is extremely useful and effective 👍🏻
@@FueltheFires Just going and going shooting a video are two different things. Thank you.
@@skifskifsky3739Yes are absolutely correct- you’re welcome and thanks for watching!
Poison ivy, the two scariest words in my vocabulary. I would never make it.
I live along the Wasatch Front in Northern Utah, I commute from my home 39 miles each way to Salt Lake City and back. Hill Airforce base is about 2 miles from my home. I would say an attack on the base and us having to leave our home, or me having to get home.
That is certainly a viable scenario you have there.. I will let Tyler know about this one- he lives out there 👍🏻
@@FueltheFires thank you
I live off grid in northern Maine woods I homestead 20+ac currently there is close to 300ac behind me. I'm a mile from the main road which is a 2 lane through our small town of around 200.
Ok here is my case. Health wise I will shelter in place. I have a river 4 blocks away. So water will be available. I have 2 collapsible fishing rods, 2 fish nets. 2 small and medium game traps. A 6 shot crossbow. I only have about 6mos of canned goods stockpiled. Oh and only about 1mo of water.
"WHO'S BEEN SLEEPING IN MY BED?!" 🐻
Definitely gotta watch out for shit-n-run raccoons 😂 Them suckers are spec ops qualified 😂😂
Little ninjas they are 😂
Please show the same in winter 🥶 🍀🌎🍀😜👍🔥🍀
That would absolutely be my pleasure!!!
@@FueltheFires thx 😜✌️🍀🔥
Underwood Philip tips?
It’s 200 grain hard cast 👍🏻
@@FueltheFires Copy!! Thanks a bunch!!
@@williamneal7210You’re welcome!
I didn't know people could be allergic to creeper?
I didn’t either until I was talking to a biologist once.. I knew you couldn’t eat it but some people do experience issues when they come in contact with it.. I’ve run into several after I learned that fact..
@@FueltheFires well I learned something new thanks man
@@tennesseelockpicking8803 That’s what it’s all about!
you mentioned not drinking all your water and just taking in a little at a time, should you drink your fill at the water source, fill the bottle then move on?
guess I asked to soon that is what you did at 2nd water hole
You’re absolutely right!
For the algorithm
Thank you!
