It’s funny...50 million people all think they are gonna “bug out” to the woods/mountains, etc. literally everyone is gonna be there. What a party that would be
Actually, the plan is easier than the implementation. Especially when 49 million of those people all drive regular non-4x4 off-road capable vehicles. Most likely they will be stuck in grid lock traffic.
I think of that too, i try to separate myself from them. 1. I already live in the mountains and i know how to get around in them.
2. I have a very capable dirtbike that can get me deep in the woods faster than a jeep, my food and supplies are already hidden in an abandoned mine shaft with a bushcraft trap door that cant be found easily. The way i see it, if youre watching this video we're on the same side, tell me your ideas!
I already live in a small 50 house village in the country
Have acreage in the mountains and a condo in the city.
Been making mountain trips. Getting used to the terrain. Make it out every two months. Run the dogs, manage the lands resources, hit up local trails and waterways.
Getting cool with the locals in the area you plan to bug out to is the most important thing.
They do not like outsiders. If you’re an outsider change it.
They’re cool people. Just show them you don’t want to bring crime, rap music culture, or anything city like.
Also show them you’re interested in learning their lifestyle. Show them you respect their lifestyle. Don’t say it show it.
Get to know who’s welcoming and who’s going to be potentially dangerous to you.
All of the Rural locals will likely push the city folk out
"Climb over walls, do different things, see if that sling setup works for you."
Half the comments section: Wait I can't do that
I lost most of the extra weight that I gained after an old injury but still, I end up going through more walls than over. I once tried that where apparently we had stretched some concertina wire, I don't recall cuts though my legs would argue but I wish I had those boots and BDUs still. Perfectly vented by youthful stupidity.
I climb _through_ walls.
I use things called "doors", and I pretend to kick them occasionally because I'm a dork 😁
I love scaling and climbing walls when wearing full kit and often scale walls when drunk with friends. I also do pull ups with body armor (with plates) on so I know for a fact that I can climb walls when loaded up proper

Hey!!!! I resemble that remark sir...how dare you speak truth...
Anyone not doing PT daily is delusional. Hope it's not 3/4
Don't even need to be in uber peak physical fitness. Just not being a fat slob or severely underweight helps. My main thing is can you run at least a mile with a rucksack on your back without collapsing? Can you drag a deadweight like a 175pound human being more than 2 meters before collapsing? If so then you're in better shape than most... it's an "apocalypse" scenario, not Afghanistan or Iraq. Having 80 pounds of gear on your back and carrying 1000 rounds will get you dead pretty quick in most situations... That guy walking around in fatigues with an AR on each shoulder, 2k rounds and a bag with everything barring the kitchen sink is dead within a week tops. The guy who runs into every gun fight thinking he'll do a rambo... he's dead within a week tops. Being sensible about what you do and where you do it is more important than running around dressed in tacticool with enough small arms for a whole neighbourhood.

Hands down the most important part of this video starts at 24:43. Knowledge and training are the true requirments for the apocalypse.
Real
It'll be much easier to find gear when the apocalypse pops off than to find the cardio and skills you lack.
More or less how I feel. Carry 1 or 2 guns and pick up more along the way
I have my AR for my primary use, couple over guns for other things. All will come with me. However knowing most the people that live in my area, I definitely have them beat cardio wise. Most of them I bet can't even jog a mile.
I feel like this is a myth. We all assume that when the apocalypse pops off, everyone’s going to start killing each other and there will be dead bodies and gear just laying everywhere in the streets. I guarantee that anything that is in public view will get snatched up pretty fast and vanish into thin air. Chances are weapons, ammo and every other form of supply will become very scarce. Think of it like the beginning weeks of the Covid pandemic X 500. Not trying to invalidate your point about physical training and preparation, but I don’t assume anything will be available. Most people are going to be hoarding stuff under their beds and not leaving their homes for much of the time.

For weapon lights, have a way to put an endcap over the lens for 2 reasons. 1) protects the lens from getting exposed to muzzle blast on range days. 2) the reflector cone inside the flash light will give your position away. I noticed this when setting up a 100 yard target and my rifle was on a bipod (bolt locked back of course). At 100 yards the flashlight was off, but the reflector looked like a magical crystal golf ball that could be seen a mile away.

For situations where combat isn't a high probability, I've always thought the 10/22 would make a great survival rifle. They're light, quiet, you can carry thousands of rounds, tons of mags, they're very modular and it's very deadly with an accurate shot.
It's a good round and a good platform choice, but lets be honest. If you're receiving 10/22 rapid shots CQB vs a 556 CQB, which one will make you scared and take cover? Not to mention the damage done upon impact. 10/22 has it's place in the arsenal, but 556 is the best all around round/platform.
@@CaptinLongdong1 if your in cqb and receive a mag dump of either of the two rounds your prob going to die
@@CaptinLongdong1 If you are in cqb, you screwed up
.22s aren’t meant for self defense
You want to neutralise the threat immediately in CQB- 12 guage 00SG.

Standing in line at the 10th marines chow hall I looked into the kitchen and saw a stack of white boxes with red lettering. “Grade F meat military use only”. No joke.
finally being able to see my dad in 4k is an absolutely beautiful moment in my otherwise shitty life.

You okay brother? Let me know if you need someone to talk to.
@@mrandersen6872 yeah, tell me a stranger in the worst comment section on UA-cam why your life sucks so bad! Get a brain
Personally i like the idea of an 18 in Tavor X95 suppressed and a Vcog sight. Id imagine it would be a really reliable and versatile setup.
Personally I like the idea of 3 PSA Freedom rifles and 2k rounds of 5.56 for the price of 1 Gucci AR.

First step of surviving the apocalypse: don’t listen to any of the bullshit coming out of Hollywood.
Second step: get training.
Step three: profit.
let's be fair, there's no surviving an apocalypse scenario no matter what rifle you're rocking. we're all kidding ourselves with our 'bug out bags' and tacticool gear setups. if it comes down to that serious shtf, i give 95%+ of us no more than a year or two max. that said, a small shtf situation that knocks out power or food supply chains for several weeks to a month, definitely want to be kitted up.
@@OB-xf3jz I think we all have come to that conclusion, it’s just a joke to shit on Hollywood. Why did I get stuck with your ultra negative comment for no reason. You truly are “that guy”.
@@cassidybronson6891 wasn't trying to being to negative, just misunderstood your comment. i prepare for the 1month - 3month scenario where we may not have food, power grid, or police, but i'm not worried about the apocalypse. if it comes to that, we're all screwed. my bad if it came across as an attack, that wasn't my intention
AR's are so common in my area...i had no idea until i went downtown with some people to protect the town from a possible riot that thankfully didnt happen. It was just amazing to see just how many people were using 5.56 AR's versus AK's, traditional rifles, shotguns etc., and a lot of guys had cans too. Just about everyone there had an AR and a good sidearm...except me...i had a Glock 48 that i really didnt care for lol. My suppressed M4gery wont score any points or attract unwanted attention...except from black gun haters but you cant fix stupid ;'-D
Plot twist: you were supposed to be the riot but there was confusion
Black rifles matter 💯

Speaking of signature reduction: an SBR gives away your location to the ATF.
🤣😂🤣
That's why we get pistols ;-) #Loophole.
only if you tag it....
Truth. +100 for pistol brace.
What does a suppressor say to the ATF?
“Let’s say you live in New York City... I’m sorry”
yeah me too. Hopefully one day I'll escape back to America.
When you spend years preparing for the apocalypse getting Gucci gear and the moment you step outside of your house some crack head with a hi-point and two fudds chained up behind him picking up brass kills you and takes all your stuff.
My apocalypse rifle is simple. Springfield M1A Scout Squad in a Delta 14 Gen 2 chassis with the Ace folding stock, an angled foregrip, iron sights, and the stupid barrel-mounted rail removed. Compact with the 18" barrel and folding stock. Pleasent recoil with the factory-equipped Scout Squad muzzle brake and pistol grip. Light weight because its short and doesnt have 4lbs of crap attached to it. 7.62x51 because it'll kill any game animal I need to hunt with ease, and deal with human threats even easier.
It's simple. It works. There's really nothing to break. It's apocalypse-proof. No batteries. No fragility. No BS.
Love this🙄👆

Dude that's where we are right now. We are in SHTF. The time for buying shit and training for this was the last 10-20 years. If you don't have what you need and know why you need to know, you are behind the curve. Way behind.
Now you should do a apocalypse “kit” your plate carrier what’s in your bag and etc.
That'd be lit
Another great video. As a civilian, family man and bourbon drinker, I really appreciate your insight and explanations on your set up and why you choose them.

I have a couch that pulls out. But I don't 😉
According to hollywood a stripped down AR with just a front sight and no extra mags will get you through an apocalypse
Well you get about 175 shots off per 30 round mag in the movies , lol
"magically....dehydrate and die and be food for other animals" LOL almost crapped my pants laughing at that one!
This is why everyone sit down to watch gun daddy's vid
A 16 inch barrel for the Ar is perfect
My favorite survival story: When I was a kid we went to a state park behind my house padded up with our BB guns. While everyone was shooting each other I snuck out, went home and watched TV
Mission accomplished

Will do our best. Bring maple syrup when you jump the border plz. O.o
The NAME might be why that is so... just a thought.
Mouse, US made syrup is better than Canadian.
@@tomlarry556 No because its nothing but Corn Syrup with food coloring any more. Somehow they got it legal for them to sell bottles of High Fructose Corn Syrup as "Maple Syrup" and even "Pure Honey" like 10 or 15 years ago and I've been salty about it ever since.
Its no wonder everyone in the US is getting fat and dying of Cancer and Heart Failure when we subsist on literal garbage that would usually be fed to cows, chickens, and pigs.
