Worked in the Norwegian coustguard for some years. been trough a number of SAR opperations. and what you need for daytime resque is a smoke. flares are shit in daylight. smoke for day. flare for night. Awesome video nutn!. keep em comming.
I love these equipment videos. Even though I may never go boating, it's great information and fun to watch. I'd like to see more bug out kit (BOK) videos too. Nutnfancy's systems are always well thought out.
Hey ToDD! Thanks bro
"ALSO MORE MOTORCYCLE VIDS!" Copy that my friend, incoming. -nutnfancy
nutnfancy Thank you in advance for the motorcycle videos! I'm an FZ-6 rider and motorcycles are how I found this channel. Everything else just sort of fell into place. I'm retired from an AFRES KC-135 Wing in Oklahoma before that I was an MP in an Army/Guard unit and a merchant seaman. Whenever you say nobody watches the MC and adventure videos i wonder if I'll ever see one again. Firearms are important and I'm all about the 2nd amendment and all; but I'd like to get in a few more rides and have a little fun before the SHTF and the mushroom clouds start rising above Armageddon. Fire and maneuver - shoot, hit and reload - then repeat. I get it! BUT . . . we both know there's more to life. Give my best to the wife, kids & dog . . . ness! lol!
looking forward. Just recently got my motorcycle license and a bike, it's so much fun.
beholderlt have fun and BE SAFE.
From top down, I cover most of our water survival equipment in this TNP systems video. For instance, I can't imagine someone going out on the water these days without the ACR PLB discussed. It's small, waterproof, lightweight and doesn't require annual fees. Add in some carefully selected Spydercos, flashlights, mirrors, Blueforce Gear Ten Speed vest, and lots more and you'll have our system. It works. -nutnfancy
nutnfancy my problem is your choice of boat. It's a great dingy for in a bay or river.
It's actually quite capable everywhere. It cannot sink with multiple air chambers. For sure there's better options but they enter an area of high expense, maintenance, bigger size and weight we cannot accept. Jacque Cousteau used Zodiacs like this in the open ocean with high success for decades. -nutnfancy
nutnfancy Question: Why would you have hand flares on a rubber/pvc boat? Wouldn't there be a great likely hood of melting a hole in the boat if used?
nutnfancy please edit out the yacht owner personal business. Kinda insensitive
Adam Smith No names were mentioned. The story was brief and lacked private details. I am not sure why your worried about it.
10 years in, still pumping out great content. Thanks Nutn, it's been a blast.
It`s been so long since I haven`t seen a Nutnfancy vid It feels so good; specially the survival stuff he`s so good at.
It's awesome how organized and prepared you are! If I had a boat I'd be like minded in its up keep and organization.
Cool branch off of the usual vids! As a USCG certified captain this is great info for many, thanks!
Thanks, yes it's a nice variation and I'm overdue with that! -nutnfancy
love the vast array of topics nutn. your a well balanced and intelligent man. we need more leaders like you in a dangerous world..2020 run?
Long time sub, love the variety and quality of the videos. I remember when I was young, begging for content like yours on T.V.! Thanks so much for all the great work!
Great video, Love the Shark Knife lol
FYI, when you clip into your life vest make sure you use both D-rings, one on either side of the fastex buckle, to ensure your buckle doesn't open in the unlikely event of a water landing. Many years sailing and one experience of the like taught me that. Love the vid, keep safe out there!
Nice! Love the boating stuff.
Been watching your gun and knife reviews for years. This is a nice change of pace. Three thumbs and one big toe up.
That view at night of the Bridge should have been the thumbnail. Views like that are why I love my boat.
Totally diggin' the on site gear review brother! Like how you keep expanding with things for us and then reviewing the gear that you use. Real world testing that can save your life!
I dont own a boat quite yet but this will give me a head start on getting my supplies ready for when I do. Always love Nutnfancy philosophy no matter what the system.
Great vid, Nutn! Just FYI, the "rust spots" on the H1 pacific salt are probably mineral(iron) deposits from the water. The crevices collect minerals in the water, and that is what appears to be like rust on the H1. If you brush it off, it should fall right off. At least, that's been my experience. Stay safe in your adventures!!!
I really dig all your hard work you put in to the TNP project
I do a lot of fishing in remote locations like northern Manitoba Canada and this video will definitely help me improve my safety systems and with convenience.
A very well tought-out system for an application like this. Even for a non-mariner, this should make one think about their own personal system for whatever environment they are conducting ops or recreation in. nice work, I enjoyed the watch, and probably watch it again very soon...
Glad you mentioned the Personal Locator Beacon (ACR ResQLink).
Absolutely awesome!!! Love the gear and adventure side more than everything else!! Hopefully next time you go camping you can take us along. Hope you and your family are doing well, thanks for keeping up the good work nutn!!!
Great information Nutn! Love eating at Quinns, hope to run into you there sometime! My house is just right on the other side of Coast Guard island, you could almost throw a rock at it from where you're filming. I appreciate the marine videos, excellent primer for safety based survival systems; I wish all of the boaters in the Bay Area watched these videos! A lot of boaters out there pay too little attention to safety, a washed up body on the Alameda beach just yesterday is a graphic reminder of the seriousness of these activities. Keep up the awesome work Nutn!
I enjoy the nautical gear vids! Huge part of taking in the outdoors in the Pacific Northwest, enjoying the water.
Awesome video. Lots of great information about many different things packed in one video. Thumbs up.
I'm a Navy LT and tnper since 08, glad to see you out on the water Nutn. A spot light to signal an approaching ship is invaluable. Tow gear is a must. Fair winds and following seas! GO NAVY, BEAT AIR FORCE! ⚓️🇺🇸
As a Merchant Mariner and long time traditional sailor, and TNP'r, I'm happy to see some marine related perspectives. Love the gear vest idea. I've always worked with a belt full of things, that seems better. At work I often have a VHF & UHF chest rig for portable comms.
Always keep that radio on and cranked up on 16. Can't tell you how many time I wished the boat I was worried about would just answer the radio.
Should clip your lanyard to both d-rings. I've seen the buckle on a best break from being clipped to one ring. Although, the fall was from higher with a strong shock load.
Your kit looks awesome!! The only thing I would add would be 2 collapsible paddles in case the motor goes down. Love your videos!
11:56 Yep! I bought one of the Dr. Optics after that video and LOVE it. I have it in my Mountain Smith Vibe fannypack in the center console of my Charger. While waiting for my wife at the grocery store just yesterday I saw some interesting birds on a fence across the road and whipped it out.. Perfect view! Awesome!
Having grown up on the San Francisco bay I can say be careful in that zodiac as I have seen and had to rescue a fair number of people on the bay who went out in on the bay when the weather turned and got into a lot of trouble, with a boat that was a little to small for how far they ventured out into the bay/ocean.
Nutn, your channel is my favorite. Freaking LOVE it!!! I have watched you since 2009 and I don't think I've ever heard you pronounce "signal" properly. Sounds like you say "single mirror". Cracks me up every time. Are you aware of this?? Surely I'm not the first to bring this up.
great video! i'm from michigan so the ocean is a no-no, the great lakes are my jam, but it was interesting to see your thought processes in the loadout
nutn, have you seen what can happen when. the 18 650 shorts out when the plastic wrapper gets worn away? They explode dude. Get a case for it!
spark plugs + wrench
swim fins < YES
^ lifelong boater here ^ both have saved me more than once
It was recorded temperature there yesterday! Sad sorry! I would vacuum seal all the gear as well. All good stuff and info.
Awesome vid. Hey Nutn, throw that 18650 in a case. That battery touches metal on both ends or you get some gnarly rips on the wrap it can go into thermal runaway.
Good to see the monocular still going!
Just went halibut fishing out in the bay last week. Beautiful out there. Nice to see you in my home state!
Man so cool, to see you with the ALLY THE MOUNTAIN DOG!
You can probably vacuum pack a lot of those stuffs if you have a food vacuum packing machine to further moisture proof the items. A fancy chamber vacuum machine can pretty much pack anything, but even with just a cheap Foodsaver style vacuum packing machine you can do a lot.
very well thought out planning and gear. lots of good ideas. thank you.
Amazing video. I watched it twice and took notes. I just finished up my small duck hunting boat with collapsible blind, and I was in the process of putting together gear and a bow bag. I dig that acr beacon, in late fall and winter that could be a life saver for sure. Big problem with all my stuff is everything is camo and dark for duck hunting. I do have strobes and whistles attached to my camo inflatable pfds. solid vid!
Fanny pack for the ocean..... Love it. Cant see me ever doing this type of thing. Just enjoy your take on the Philo...
I dont even own or go on small boats and I watched the whole thing, gotta love Nutn'!
"You get your butt pounded out there........let me rephrase that." LOL, never change Nutn, never change.
This may sound funny, but have you ever considered trim tabs for the boat? They make self contained hydraulic trim tabs that help the boat get on plane quick, with significantly less bow rise, and in the chop it keeps the boat from bouncing up and down (porpoising) on bay type waves.
At sea preparedness can get pretty overwhelming pretty quickly. I work on a variety of commercial fishing vessels in Alaska. All those vessels have to pass a USCG vessel safety inspection for me to board. Along with that, NOAA issues me a PLB, survival suit, PFD, 30lbs of sampling gear, and says, "good luck!" Since I have to pack everything I need for the season into a duffel and fly, my "go" kit is pretty basic. One of my "most-at-ease-to-have-aboard" items on these boats are the self-deploying EPIRBS..oh..and fire extinguishers..a buttload of fire extinguishers! I haven't gotten to a part in his video where he discusses his flotation but I think the main key to where/how he is having his adventures is using a float coat with a beaver tail (nutn would opt for the dry suit option which I think is legit!) because of all things to get ya, it'll probably be the cold! How long could a lucky/healthy person actually stay conscious in coastal CA waters before the cold got em? Even with a nice float coat with a beaver tail I'd give you less then an hour before you're a goner. Think about that! Something else I've been finding extremely useful in cases of emergency/ordinary day-to-day preparedness? .....electric tape. I sprinkle rolls of tape throughout my various zippered bags and pockets and find that stuff useful as heck when solutions need to be made! The zip tied safety line?!? (Sorry had to mention it) Had me giggling at multiple points during his one. Cheers nutn!
Good video, but if I can make one suggestion, don't stow your radio in that bag with the antenna detached. Always have it on you, ready to go. If you ever need to send a distress call to the coast guard you DO NOT want to go digging around for it. Things can go very wrong on the water very quickly.
Dude, are you kidding me? No M1 Grand? What if Jaws attacks you?
Why the never show how to use the equipment
Great Video and the only one where Iv'e seen the use of signal mirrors! good job man. love your the Zodiac! Money is great to have saty safe man.and watch out for those Great Whites
Hey Nutn love the video. Long time sub. Glad to see your getting into water ops! 1 quick question what firearm are you running in your water ops systems and how are you storing it/protecting it? Keep up the vids!
Hey Nutnfancy! When do you think you'll have more Vigilant Owl Stickers available on the store website? Dying to get one for the back of my Jeep. Thanks man! Keep up the good work.
Nutnfancy, is that a 6 gallon tank? 90 miles is fantastic on that! Whats the rubber your using on the aluminum floor as well? Love your boat setup and the videos on it, just got into inflatables about a year ago. Keep up the good work my man, lovin it!
Not sure if this is doable with the motor, but there is a trick from white water rafters for getting a boat right after flipping. More weight in the boat the harder, and having one of your guide boats with the equipment go over is not fun, but your zodiac is lighter than one of those loaded for sure. Watched your boat review and thought you should hear this if you hadn't heard of this somewhere else before.
What they do is have a piece of webbing on a carabiner attached to their PFD. If the boat goes upside down they clip it to the bow lines, stand on the boat, lean back and flip the boat upright. Did this during a white water rafting class, I do not want to imagine trying to do it in rough conditions than the eddy we trained in.
One thing a lot of people don't know is how much faster hypothermia sets in in water, even if it's 65-70 degrees it doesn't take long since your skin is basically completely exposed to the water unless your in a dry suit and the water will basically pull your body heat away from you.
Really cool to see what you have on board! Just one piece of advice if you dont mind me saying.. I'd not put that fire extinguisher way out in the back of the bag like it is now, but rather more to the front so it can be grabbed right away without first having to drag all the other stuff out. It's all about being able to respond as quickly as possible whenever a fire breaks out, especially on a boat like this! Sorry, im a fireman so I just couldn't keep that to myself ;) Stay safe!
Thank you for the details, love it. i used to life 45 minutes from there.
Maybe put a single strip of clear tape around those two red emergency\tool containers to make sure they would float for a bit if the boat flipped and they come out (and keep the flares dry).
Super glad you talked about the PLB I us to do a bit of sailing and we always had one (it may be law not sure) , but at least you know whatever happens you can get someone out there (also wearing it on you is super smart, you hear all those stories of people falling off their boat for whatever reason). With rust on small tools maybe chuck anything in a zip lock possibly with a drip of oil if its just a basic tool, obviously not stuff you use all the time.
You're flying a pirate flag? Oh, oh, call the Coast Guard! LOL Sad story on the sailboat. Thanks for great videos!
Freaking awesome setup nutn!!!! Great video as always!
To keep your bat dry etc, try using a food saver vac sealer.
Dude haven't seen dogness on camera in a long time. How is that old hound?
She's doing pretty good. Her adventuring days are over though. She's just hangin' in there! Maybe update video soon, thanks, -nutn
nutnfancy would love to see an update on Ally the mountain dog!
nutnfancy would you do a video on your thoughts about Springfield and RRA selling out their customers in Illinois
Yeah they made a deal with the anti-gunners in that state to where they will be left alone but all others will be restricted to 9 ffl transfers per year and universal background checks.
Springfield Armory and Rock River Arms that made this deal with the devil will both find out in the long run, just like Ruger did in California
in the past that paid a very high price for doing almost the same that screwing over the American people is not a wise business decision.
Doodle is trapped behind enemy lines. Are you prepping for a boat rescue?
you should have a safety knife on your pfd or chest rig. the folder is fine to use, but a dedicated safety knife is a must.
Nutnfancy,
YOU CAN GET YOUR BUTT POUNDED A LOT IN SF!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WAS FUNNY!!!!!!! Stay in the water! Be Safe out there.
I love it, will help put together a motorized canoe kit I'm putting together!
Beautiful area, but when I was on T.I., I remember the waters were inundated with sharks. Was so bad, they protected the swimmers' beaches with shark nets. Loved the video bro.
Love this video to the max. May i suggest you conisder an orange smoke for day time signalling and a desalinator or some sort of filters for salt water ops.
That Doctor monocular could double as a periscope if things were to ever go South...:P
Great vid Nutn, Well thought out as always. I really like the survival chest rig. Its nice to see your sub count jumping wow.
great video nutn. Do you ever do flashlight videos? hat's your opinion on the Imalent DT70 16000 lumen 700m throw light?
I love these types of videos. Could you do a review on the Garmin etrex 20?
Hey Nutn. Long time Nutnfancy fan. Can you do a scuba video series? I think you mentioned that you dive in another vid.
Hey Nutn do you still recommend the uniden handheld radio. I have to move a large boat from the Fla Keys to the Texas coast and want something reliable in case we really need it. Thanks for all you do for us.
Smart carrying an extra prop, a close friend of mine went out about three miles fishing and his prop broke off and he had to call in to get pulled back. They floated there for 4 hours before the boat got to them.
Great video. Awesome setup. Love it!
With that shark out there Nutn, I believe your going need a bigger boat!
Is there signal dyes to put in the water you can purchase for emergencies?
E Wheeled thanks for the laugh, that was a good one
I've been thinking about how you could make a sidearm of some sort that was specifically for defense against sharks. I was watching a lot of spear fishing videos with shark encounters and thought it would be handy for a last resort situation. I'm thinking it'd have to be a revolver or something similar chambered in an underwater-specific caliber. The bullet would have to be really long. Just a thought.
great video as always. would you use that pbl for backpacking. thank you
Thru my offroading club, I bought an annual membership for Reach Air Medical Services. If I get hurt offroad, or even in an auto accident between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, and I need a helicopter to transport me or a family member to a hospital, hopefully it'll be covered by this policy. But then I started thinking about some sort of Locator Beacon. You've brushed on the subject; but, not too many details. Just wondering your thoughts? My thoughts on this policy is even if I never use it, hopefully it'll save others by keeping them in business and getting others to hospital.
Two thumbs up for the personal epirb👍
love to see Nutn try out the cult classic Vostok Amphibia dive watch 'scuba dude'. I know he likes Quartz but good value for an automatic and really unique Soviet design, quality. Can get ones with modded dial / bezel
I didn't notice if you had a compass or not. I know you have a GPS. I'd like to say food, water, blankets, and a spare gas tank are extremely good to have on a boat. I remember being on a 41' UTB back in '91. We passed by a boat of 5 survivors who were blown deep into the mangroves of Lake Pontchartrain. We couldn't see them nor hear them. They had no supplies and a big storm was a few hours away. Were it not for the Coast Guard Auxiliary plane who located them, they'd have probably died of exposure that night. I remember the surprise on the boat owner's face when he asked the Coxswain if we'd have come back a second time looking for them. His answer was, "No, you're lucky that plane spotted you."
It's amazing how ill-equipped people can be and still be totally comfortable. I guess it's a matter of trusting in the safety net a little more than they should. There are a couple compasses in the boat with us, usually in our vests. -Doodle
Could you do a video on good mom and pop restaurants Layton-SLC area ?
Wow, that is a good idea...i might!
nutnfancy I would appreciate it. I've been striking out big time trying to find really good places since moving here.
Ive been in Utah since 09... I cant find them lol
22640cal lol too many chain restaurants
getting ur butt pounded when ur in San Fran might be worrysome. lol. great video nutn. enjoy the videos.
Hey Nut'n, Rock River and Springfield sold us Illinois residents up the river. I thought you should know.
Great info. I have no idea how u keep up with all the gear.
Very good request!!! This idea didn't even occur to me
Nutn, in the forward equipment pouch, please store that 18650 better. If it shorts out in the pouch it will cause a fire. Plus the wrap is damaged with a hole in it causing more places for it to short out. At least wrap the ends with electrical tape or put it in a bag.
love love love the exhaustive systems videos!!!!!!!!!
Super-smart for caring an extra prop
This is exactly what I need. Thanks
love this channel
Thank you!
Notting fancy,
I am in San Jose as well. That was a sad story about the boat. However, as a Scuba Diver, I do know some of the new diver, usally get freak out on the first dive.
Any plans to review the Savage MSR 10 Hunter in .308? Curious how it stacks up against the other AR-10 and .308 platforms on the market.
any more in depth review on PFDs for kayaking and water sports where you'll more likely be in the water than on a boat?
You need to do a Commiefornia edc video. What you carry when you are visiting the People's Republic when you can't carry standard capacity mags. Or Ar's with pistol grips. Or, Kel-tec PF9's, Walther PPQ's, and Glock Gen 4, or pretty much anything that you could actually use to successfully protect yourself.
*Your lifeline is only attached to the boat by those two plastic zipties???*
*I don't think zipties are weight bearing.It looks like a major weak link and a potential risk.*
*I would use a metal chain and a carabiner to secure your line to that bench.*
*Possibly some rope, but not a ziptie.*
JoeDurobot zip ties the size he used hold about 75 pounds.
*75 pounds? That's nothing. Even with 2 it's 150 pounds.I doubt Nutn is lighter than that with all his gear on.*
*He will be even heavier if he goes over board and his clothes get wet.*
*I doubt you would go climbing and use zip ties instead of a carabiner.*
*Not to mention it looks like the metal bench has sharp edges.*
*If you pull on that rop it will cut the zipties right off.*
JoeDurobot maybe I missed what your talking about because I only saw two utility pouches with tools inside held by zip ties, so I wondered why you were making a big deal about it. Referring to his utility pouches as "lifelines". So I must have missed what your criticizing
*Look at **33:55** , he's showing that his lifeline (the rope connecting his life jacket to the boat) is only secured to the boat by two zipties.*
*It's supposed to hold his body weight and then some (wet clothes and gear he has on).*
Do you live in the bay area? I am from Santa Cruz , I think you need a bigger boat, ha! great vids carry on...
We eat at Quinn's! Too bad our paths didn't cross here. Their salmon wellington is my favorite besides their garlic burger.
