2:35 I haven't stepped on an airplane since I got my DD-214 in April of 1990. Don't plan on doing so again either. Therefore, I have no restrictions on what I carry in my vehicle.
I'm not military, just a 70 year old lady who remembers what it was like when we didn't live under constant restrictions and near tyranny. I will never step foot on an airplane again, and I have not flown for 30 years.
I'm turning 62, my pack weighs 34 pounds. I've got to lighten it up and I'm not carrying anything battery powered but a flashlight. I appreciate this video!
I fly frequently. I carry everything TSA will approve to include some defense stuff they miss. I won't divulge cause it has been working for years..... I don't want to play my hand. I pay for extra bags so I can be normally armed. I fly from the south east....so normal EDC and CCW STUFF.
Just returned from a flight yesterday. I had one carryon; Maxpedition Versipack, Grayl 24 oz purifier, ROC16 10,000 mil amp solar battery bank, TACAMO plasma lighter, 50 feet tough grid paracord, 2 pairs of socks, second skin antiseptic, LED headlamp, 1 quart bag of smoked almonds
My last flight a week ago, I brought an IFAQ (well stocked), soft ballistic armor, cut proof sleeves and cut proof gloves, a head lamp, comfortable walking shoes, waterproof shoes, some extra dried food.
I fly out of state every week for work. I paused the clip at 2:28 to make this comment. I do not check luggage at this time. I only carry what will pass TSA. I do that because if I have a delayed or cancelled flight, I will not have to worry about my checked luggage catching up with me. Currently, my priority is getting home to my family and not whether or not I’m going to get caught in an escape from inner city America. … more to come after I finish watching the clip.
Okay. After watching the video, I feel I need to consider wool underwear. I am curious of what it would be like if a person was stranded over 250 miles from their destination? I fly over 1,200 miles from home every week. My current travel luggage does not include a check bag because it’s very difficult to have quick change flights if there is a checked bag. Consequently, I only carry what TSA allows me to carry on my travels.
When it comes to using a poncho or cape as your only shelter and you still need rain gear to leave the shelter (like to collect firewood), I've started bringing an extra disposable clear plastic poncho as a backup. Alternatively, you could bring plastic painters' cloth or heavy-duty trash bags. The bonus to the clear plastic items is they can be used to help construct a super shelter in a cold emergency. They don't weigh much, aren't bulky and cheap to replace since they are pretty much limited use items but can get you out of conundrums like that.
In addition to my checked-in bag, I always bring a backpack on-board with me with an extra set of clothes/socks, prescription meds, medical/survival supplies, including fire, bleed control, shelter, food, water filtration/purification, container, navigation, cordage, self-protection, signaling, and wealth contingencies. This stuff will help you in a survival situation or even if the airline just loses your checked-in bag.
I carry on a bag with a change of clothes, medications, Bible, spare charger, spare phone battery, and some cash. In the winter, I bring a small blanket. The airline will permit one comfort item such as a blanket or pillow. I also wear my jacket as I enter the plane.
Really appreciate the video guys I'm over 60 years old and I've got enough reality and experience to see this video as the most realistic venue possible. For those people estranged to the realities that you must have resources and know your capabilities and what you'll be up against in the dark hard times if and when they happen. You have also opened my eyes to the holes in everybody's game including my game. One more thing can you tell me what the gear or should I say the shirt and pants that the gentleman on the left was wearing with the glasses on thank you very much again for the great video from Canada with love❤
Thank you so much! I have a video coming up on my gear very soon.. I was wearing a Realtree poly fishing hoodie (spf 50) and my pants are Fjallraven Vida Pros (not the ventilated ones).. Appreciate you watching!
Good stuff, I’ve never flown and never will, BUT I work over 600 miles from home! Have told my wife don’t give up it may take me 2 months to get home! At least I can carry stuff you can’t take on a plane.
There's two ways to virtually guarantee no blisters on your feet . One is to wear Wright brand socks which are two layer socks made to prevent blisters and the second method is sock liners . The silk liners work best but the synthetic ones are good too.
My basic pack is 25# with supplemental 15# belt/ vest kit. The belt kit allows the bottom of the pack to rest on it making it a sort of waist belt transferring some weight to your hips. This has 3-4 days of food and minimal water with the ability to replace the water.
I always pack a pouch with (checked bag) leatherman tool, knife, and defense system. In my carry-on I pack a headlamp, flashlight, Grayl, small med kit, cotton balls, chapstick, Bic lighter and spare socks. For the exact reason you discuss in the video. "You Never Know"
I could really relate to the foot conversation. I’ve had serious issues come up after just 9 miles. Starting out with a good pair of boots (broken in) is crucial, so when traveling I keep this in mind and leave the cheap sandals at home. Other two items are water or purification device and some type of multipurpose jacket. One thing I’ve learned is we underestimate the time spent in locating food and water and shelter prep.
Starting out in an urban environment, almost everything you will need is there and available if you know where to look. Water? Carry a sillcock key. You can make a boiling container from any can you find. If you MUST have a fire for some reason it will have to be very small so a few rocks will be adequate to support your can. You can find plastic sheeting for a shelter, construction sites might even have Tyvek blowing around. You can improvise a cutting tool fairly quickly too. It won't take too long to run across an abandoned car that's open and you can find a blanket or almost anything else you might need. The main thing to remember is that you're not practice-camping, you're doing it to get home. Leave anything unnecessary behind each day, you can find more. I'd try to have less than 10# in my rucksack, and most of that will be socks, basic first-aid, a lighter - the kinds of things that if I need them I need them immediately.
I live east of ATL and try not to go into down/midtown/ top end but sometimes you have to. You know, if a CME / EMP hits when you're there, I think I might try to get a crowd together that's exfilling out and stay with them. Kinda like the shad do in the lake. Atlanta's a big town with a LOT of miles to go. But I'll have my get home gear from the truck. I would stand out but would have visible teeth. I think you'd have 24 hrs. to get out of there.
Be prepared for the worst by staying ready. Keeping that in mind, here are 35 items you can include in a survival kit which will be TSA approved when you travel. Navigation & Communication You don’t know what environment you may find yourself in. Woods? Coastal? Mountains? Desert? In order to prepare to navigate in any setting, these are the TSA-approved survival kit basics: Watch: If you’re not already wearing a waterproof watch, then it absolutely needs to go in your bug out bag. Watches can be great ways to navigate and track progress across the terrain. Flashlight: Make sure to pack any batteries it may need so that they don’t accidentally drain if the light gets turned on in transit. Compass with mirror: Choose a compact, lightweight option. Headlamp: Take the batteries out for transit, if possible (same as the flashlight). GPS with a map chip: Make sure it is charged. Cellphone with extra battery pack: Make sure it is charged. AM/FM radio: Pack batteries in an extra bag so that they don’t accidentally drain. Whistle: Make sure no fire-starting element is attached; otherwise, it may be confiscated. Diet Any proper bug out bag will have some way to store water along with food. When SHTF, you need to make sure that your body is getting the hydration and nutrients that it needs to make smart decisions, move, and fight, if necessary. Here are a few diet-related items that TSA won’t take from you. Empty water bottles wrapped with duct tape: You can’t take water through most airports, but you can take empty bottles and then fill them up once you’re through. Smaller bottles are easier to store. Just make sure that they are clean and that the cap seals tightly. Wrap duct tape around the bottles for easy storage of the useful tape. Water purification tablets: In the event that you end up somewhere where you can’t just fill up your water bottles, then you may need to take water from sources of unknown sanitation. To avoid getting sick, keep a tiny bottle of water purification tablets that kill waterborne contaminants that cause disease. Learn more about purifying water during emergencies. Metal cup: During a prolonged survival situation, you may need to boil water, whether to purify water for drinking, cleaning, or food preparation. Make sure to include a metal cup that can be heated over a fire, such as stainless steel or titanium. Energy bars and nuts: Include food that will stay good no matter the environment. Health Keeping your body healthy in any situation is extremely important. If you get sick or injured and there is no modern facility nearby, then you may be completely on your own. In order to make it out of that situation, you will need to be able to take care of yourself. Here are a few basics which can help: Soap: Small hotel-sized bars are better for carrying. Pain medication: Any pain medication, such as Ibuprofen, will do. Dry pills are better than liquid capsules, as liquid capsules can melt together in extreme heat. First aid kit: include all the basics like bandages, gauze, etc. Sanitary wipes: You never know when you may need to clean something important, like a wound. Toiletries: Include common everyday necessities such as a toothbrush, small toothpaste, and floss. Face masks: In the case of an airborne contaminant or outbreak, having a mask that is capable of filtering out fine particulate matter is a must. Survival The entire point of this TSA-approved survival kit is to be prepared when the worst happens, no matter when or where it does. Here are some of the survival items which you will need and that TSA won’t take from you: Copies of ID and cash: There is truly no way of knowing what may happen. In the event that you are separated from your wallet, make sure to have spare copies of ID and extra cash in the bag. Matches: Get matches that are easy start or anywhere matches, where dampness would impact them less and start your fire quicker. Firestarter: As a second means to start a fire, including a fire starter tool. Just make sure it is within tool length requirements and does not have a sharp metal end. Zip ties: Include a handful for a variety of uses. Paracord: Again, include this cord for use in a variety of settings and applications. The 550 Paracord is a good place to start. Air Traveler Swiss Army “Knife”: While you couldn’t take a real Swiss Army knife, you can take an Air Traveler version, which has a blunted nail file, tweezers, mini scissors, and a line cutter. Multitool: In a slightly upgraded version compared to the Air Traveler, a multitool, such as the Leatherman 831488 Multitool, is travel-safe due to the absence of a folding knife but has a variety of tools included, such as a carabiner, tweezer, pliers, nail file, scissors, spring-action wire cutters, flat and Phillips screwdrivers, and a bottle opener. Small fishing kit: A small kit of line and lure could help sustain you if you’re near an inhabited water source. Two Ziploc bags: good for any number of uses; make sure to pack the big one-gallon sizes. Mylar space blanket: While it may seem unnecessary, you won’t be saying that if you end up somewhere cold or are soaked and need to be warm while drying. Small sewing kit: While mending clothes may not be at the top of your survival list, stitching shut a wound just might be so it pays to be prepared with a needle and some thread.
Sweet Jesus! You might not get those things confiscated but you'll 100% get a cavity search. Maybe that list is what you've gleaned from reading prepper fiction, idk, but you need to do without 90% of that crap.
I’m grabbing my small get home bag out of the trunk, I’m checking my carry on and inside of my car for anything useful and I’m heading home asap.for the first little bit you’re probably fairly safe to travel in the same direction as other people but I’d distance myself as much as possible as time goes on.
If you have a problem with shin splints, you can do an easy foot exercise to fix it. Get a shallow box and dump some marbles in it. Pick the marbles up with your toes and put them in a can. Repeat. It'll toughen up the muscles in your feet and take some of the pressure off.
I'm 85 and I'm not going anywhere. I'll just hang out and defend the homeplace. The good part is I'm in West Virginia which gives me some solace. I did pick up some good points here and I do have my 'Bug-Out' gear by the door. Just in case. And I have a '64 Dodge and gas cans full. Just to get to an alternative location.
2 things: 1: I’m glad I waited my turn in line for my HPG Tarahumara to be back in stock. It’s a great little pack and with the addition of a little pouch tied down inside it helps hold the little items that can get lost in there like keys and wallet. 2: Can you guys do another event like this when I’m not on call lol. Preferably over the summer or early fall. Good video thanks guys!
2:28 into the video. Change of clothes, toiletries, battery bank, cords, etc. Lighter, hooks, fishing line, tinder, compass, Sawyer mini, container, puffer jacket, $1 poncho, hat, sun glasses, survival bracelet with 5 different cords in the guts, silcocks key, a few other items. Basically everything in my get home bag except a cutting tool, firearm, ammo…anything not allowed by TSA.
Luckily I work online from my apartment about an hour north of Atlanta on 575. My wife luckily works hybrid but still goes to the city 2-3 times per week.
Had a flashlight, snacks, vape stuff, water, cash, charging cables and portable phone charger, book, nicotine pouches, ear buds, lighter and a glow stick. Had a 6 hour layover in Chicago so I was glad I had that stuff! A few minutes into video btw.
I rarely fly these days but when I did, my carry-on was my backpack in it was my broke in boots, water bottle with filter attachment, 3 pair socks, boony hat, medication kit with plastic scissor, map of area I was going to, protein bars and change of clothes 13 May at 6:49 pm
Haven’t been in a plane have no desire to get on one but as far as a walk home I’d say realistically I’d make between 5-10 miles with being careful making sure to not run into other people. Just my two cents
Agree 💯% with hygiene. Being scalded in the groin sucks a$$ 💯% Been there; done that. Fresh socks are also mighty, mighty important. Hydration is also mighty, mighty important since hydration and electrolyte replacement is very, very, very important.
Thank you! I combine both at the same time as you need both.. I use Snake Juice and LMNT combined at the same time.. If I had to choose I would take the salt first and then the potassium 👍🏻
@@FueltheFires Hey thank you for taking the time to apply I know you're busy And I only asked just in case I run out of electrolytes and have separate ones of magnesium or potassium anyway thanks and God bless ❤️✝️💯☺️
50 miles from home, it would probably take me 3 days. I'm out of shape. And if I just have what I took on a plane then it would probably be just a small lumbar pack or side bag with clothes. And the only good resource I would have for emergency would be a Wazoo necklace. That's about all I could get past the TSA and I usually have a smart water bottle and a mini sawyer filter with me most of the time 7:24
Time Stamp: 2:33. I carry-on in my backpack a Tactical Pen I receive in BATTLBOX, a small first-aid kit including a tourniquet, my key chain that also has a small Olight flashlight, an Exotac NanoStriker XL, and a small Swiss Tech Listig knife. I (I traveled many times for the federal government as a civilian and never got that taken away) also include snack foods for my trip to include packets of peanuts, crackers, and a full water container (that was empty when I went through security). I also included a shemagh and a baseball hat. I included a fully charged power bank and cell phone with correct cables. I would carry an extra pair of underwear and sox.
I am over 40 and do a 27 mile hike in about 8.5 hours with a stop to refill water and eat. So there are people that can do 40 +/- IF they prep for it. That said, a person MUST train for it or 20 miles is pushing it. I carry my EDC pack that weighs about 18 pounds not including a 3L hydration pack.
1. I no longer fly...PERIOD! I will not put myself in a situation where I cannot carry self-protection tools...PERIOD! 2. Stress is the #1 KILLER of humans, especially in an emergency situation. Controlling stress is the key to sustaining (a.k.a. "surviving") ANY situation. Sleep deprivation coupled with stress is a disaster waiting to happen, especially the older you get. 3. In a SHTF situatio mitigate stress and deprivation of any sort to up your chance of getting through whatever you're facing. Your psychological state of mind plays the most important role in you making it through whatever situation you find yourself having to handle.
I just spent a couple of weeks out in the woods at my family's property, carrying a pistol (at least) every day. I returned to my communist state of Ill-Annoy and am disarmed again. I feel naked. I hate it.
In the city where I live, we have a lot of tree cover along the river that flows through. There is a homeless man I've spent Time having coffee with and picking his brain on urban survival. He's the first person that told me that as much as the cover along the river seems like a safe place to take shelter, he's been physically attracted by other street people looking to steal what little he has. He told me he found it safer to find shelter in back alleys, parks, or industrial parks well of the main roads. Food for thought
I try to avoid flying these days, but always take a lighter, a small first aid kit, paraccord, 2 bottles of water, a spare jumper(tied around my waste), some cash, a bottle opener on a key ring with my keys. If I take a rucksack as carry on, spare tshirt with socks/underpants, some nibbles and a metal cup with an unpacked poncho! I always make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes on a plane too - no heavy boots, no brogues, no flip flops!
2:29 I the last time I flew on a plane was going to Afgan with the Army in 2019. So I could carry whatever I wanted with the exception of ammo and fuel. So mine is a little unfair.
02:36, I haven't taken a plane for 30-plus years. I do carry an enhanced EDC the few times I am able to schedule a ride for me and my powerchair to church on Sundays.
With the scenario these fellow's have described here, I'm assuming the vehicle to get you from the airport to home is a rental, which just leaves you with your carry-on pack you got off the plane with. Obviously, there's not going to be a whole lot in that to aid you in a 50-mile walk home when the car quits running. Would it be reasonable enough to think that we should develop the habit of immediately driving to the closest convenience store after we're off the plane before beginning the drive home and grabbing a few things. Matches, lighter, tape and bandaids, a bottle of alcohol, sewing kit, scissors, disinfectant wipes, utility knife, razor blades, birthday candles garbage bags, and such. These are all things that I've spotted on racks in just about every convenience store I've been in. They aren't going to add much weight to your pack and they are items you can eventually use at home anyway. And they can definitely be game changer if you do end up having to hoof it home.
@FueltheFires I wasn't aware of that, I just stumbled on this channel today, but I almost didn't leave the comment, thinking others might think it was corny.
Convenience stores could get sketchy, quick. I'd just go light and as fast as I can. You'd be surprised how much stuff you can find just walking. Heck, it's ATL, you're likely to find a gun!
@@feoxorus the scenario provided for you to already be on the road heading home when the car quits running, the store stop would be prior to that when everything is still normal
If some enterprising guy were smart, he'd have kiosks at the airport just past security. Or rental lockers. An association of travelers would leave their "care package" at the airport they're leaving from, and pick up someone else's "care package" at their arrival airport. Everything already planned-out, purchased, set up, batteries-in. Ready-to-go. If you use something you must replace it before putting it back in the rental locker. Imagine such a thing.
The one size up from tarahumara is the Jonction the umlindi is the one above that. The jonction is a great bag just a bit bigger than the tarahumara and have two big bottle pocket on the side I have them both and I think it would be a better option if He want to size down and he could buy the Line pocket who fit on the Jonction to add a bit off kit I put my first aid kit in and the pocket act like a coat keeper on the pack.
Dehydration/electrolyte deficiency is a serious thing. I once got caught on a warm afternoon deer hunt push that went several hours past what I thought it would; so I foolishly left my water behind. I paid for it with painful leg cramps and muscular feebleness that lasted for the rest of the day. I now always take water when I am on a hike of any duration.
I've walked 32 miles in a day carrying all my gear. That was after pushing myself to my limit for a month straight. Ain't nobody getting off their couch and doing it day one.
If the scenario is an airport I personally don't see any reason why not to check my mini survival pack and firearm. Sometimes there are complications, but once you figure it out its not so bad, and i do not ever fly without a gun, anymore. My mini kit serves as essentially a multi-tool tier accessory to my main pack, and is a 100% redundancy that can be worn on a sling or in a bag. I have a fixed blade, a Victoribox Ranger 2, a full 6x8 tarp, two candles, a small booboo kit with mylar blanket, 75 of paracord, duct tape, UCO container with storm proof matches, wire saw, whistle, fishing line and lures, bandana, gear maintenance, compass, signaling mirror and a few other goodies. In the same backpack that I keep that in I also keep my checked firearm (when flying) pens and a pocket notebook and a redundancy for my edc. Something your scenario brought to mind is that if you were to get stuck on an overpass you might very well be screwed. It has me wondering about the idea of being able to rope down off the side, using proper equipment. Not something I'd carry, but maybe leave in my vehicle. Some of the overpasses in my area are large enough that it could take you half an hour to navigate from the center to the end. And in Atlanta, Orlando and a few other places you have entire miles of overpass, with some going over OTHER overpasses lol they could really, really pose a serious obstacle getting stuck in the center, with some unsavory things at either end could cut your survival adventure short pretty quick.
I haven't flown in 4 years and I'm not planning to do it again. 60 yoa. With the restrictions on what can be carried on-board, my carry-ons only held a change of clothes, meds, basic toiletries, flashlight and electronics (w/ a power bank). Coming off a flight and into an EMP would be a serious bummer. I backpacked 26 miles in a day, once, with an overloaded pack in terrible, cold rain. Multiple stops including the retrieval of one of our party that missed a trail change. It took from 0830 until 2200. We were all 17-22 years old, and it was a rough slog. If I could manage 10 miles the first day now I'd be hurting the next morning. Old people and families with children will consider 2 mph a good pace.
Just got back from a 4 day trip to Mexico. 1 bag, carry on only, but the day we left I had been up since 11 pm the night before violently sick. Had plenty of food/gear to walk home from the airport, but I was dehydrated, holding back vomit/diarrhea down to my last 20oz of water and had taken so much Imodium and zofran that I was hallucinating. It would have taken me probably 3x as long to get home walking, if I ever made it.
Because of the state of the world and my immediate area I no longer carry a basic get home bag in my vehicle. I keep a full-blown battle bag And have downsized a lot of items so I can be faster and continuously on the move to get away from the city as quickly as possible. I have 0 intent On remaining in place in any position if I needed to get out
2:27, I'm actually in Hawaii on a family vacation right now. Carry on I don't have much survival related stuff. I had to empty out so much to decide what I could take on the place. My checked luggage does have a great pocket knife that I take with me everywhere. My carry on had a change of clothes, my travel Bible, my eReader, some AAA batteries, a few portable USB chargers with cables for everything I had with me, medications, chapstick. I do wear quick dry underwear and earth tone pants. Same pants I would wear in the woods if I wasn't wearing camo to begin with (in the woods). I try to make a point of every time I leave the house I am wearing shoes that I could walk home in if I had to. If I'm in my Jeep I at least have a pair of walking shoes or boots in the Jeep that I could change into to walk home.
I have a similar thought process. I also keep a jackery for rapid charging of my mobile devices and a saw in my trunk for potentially clearing hazards or a quick place to stash my car or create cover for my lil corolla. I wish I had a suv. I do not but I can travel by road with 100 percent reliability.
@@Pleasemison I like my Jeep because off-roading is a hobby for me, but I also like it because I know I can go basically anywhere if roads become a problem.
This is interesting. I work in the city of Seattle. But I live 48 miles away in not a big city. At least 10 minutes of my commute is devoted to thinking about how I would egress out of this city and get home.
Wheneveer i fly I always check a bag and will throw in surival/edc items in there. Once I clear the airport and security they will go back into my pack.
Cool stuff gentleman. I think about carrying lighter loads a lot. I also calculate distance involvement. Cant do 40 miles. I do prefer quick build and tear down shelter.
Maybe someone can answer this question for me. I keep my get home bag in my car where that dumb itty bitty extra tire is. If there is an EMP and it affects the vehicles, how am I to get to my bag? Aren’t the doors electronic?
I think you guys should try and live out of a messenger bag for a day to find out how to lighten the load. Less is more. You end up flattening everything and packing stuff in ziplocks to save space. You can really get down to ultralight levels without the prices if you make a couple of smart sacrifices and austere choices in gear. Heaviest thing I carry is an ifak, tent, knife and a grayl filter which combined come out to a whopping 2 pounds 1/4 -1/2 pounds. Everything after that is about comfort and food.
What is the name of the bug making that noise. I was there last week. They were smaller looking locust than locust of Oklahoma. These were much quieter than locust In Oklahoma. I hear them in your video.
2:28 so I take my every day hiking bag I keep rain top and bottoms from rei it's a nice rain jacket and pants. I take out my backup multi tool and full tang knife. I have a fire kit. Stanley small pot with lid also has cleaning soap. An army beanie cap no matter how hot it is. My electronics bag it's a small bag batteries USB file storage thing . One pare of darn tough socks. One pare of dip shorts. A full personal ifak with two tornaquets. Some cordage and my small grayl water filter with purification tablets.i might be forgetting a few things
My plans will always include water and food for my pet and a pet stroller so that I don't have to carry him for miles and miles. He's my baby and I'm not leaving him behind nor will I let anyone else have him.
get some strapping and molle pouches- if you are taking the dog stroller use it to carry some of your gear and water if you have the wheels let them take some of the weight to save on you
Commute from Richmond VA to DC often. My fear is a SHTF along the drive. Many rivers and harsh terrain if you have to hoof it 30,40,60,90! Miles. And you’re not going to walk it down I-95 safely.
Hmmm....Normally I have a decent backpack as my carry on ( I don`t check-in any luggage ). In the bag I have toiletries, extra batteries, Gameboy advance SP / games / charger, extra flashlight, pens & pencils & note books for drawing / notes, 3 cliff bars, chewing gum, cordage, 3 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of underware, 2 pairs of jeans and 1 cargo shorts, 3 shirts, 1 hoodie, 1 pair Air Jordan, small boo boo kit. Nothing too crazy. Ok going to finish watching yall.
I don't fly. I haven't in years. I try not to go anywhere that I can't have my get home gear available. Hell, when I'm driving somewhere, I'm checkin out patches of woods in case an EMP hits while I'm there and I have to hoof it home. I agree with Brandon. I want a tarp. Screw that balling up under a poncho. Yeah, I carry a poncho too.
I carry both because I believe your rain gear and shelter should be separate.. Wish I didn’t have to fly but sometimes I can’t avoid it unfortunately..
RE: what you carry on a plane, given the current state of air travel I don't fly. We have a vacation scheduled for next week and we are driving out there. No way am I flying if I can avoid it.
Great conversation with friends! ))) What kind of backpack are we talking about at the end of the video, it’s very interesting to look at it? Keep up the good work!!!
In my backpack which is under the seat I have: t6zero, 4 plastic tent stakes, quick deploy ridge line, 6 6-foot hanks of paracord, 100 feet #36 bankline, SOL bivy, wazoo hat with small ferro rod, cash, wazoo necklace, wazoo fire card, extra pair of wool socks, pair of gloves, change of underwear, small pocket flashlight (extra batteries), headlamp (extra batteries), 2 glow sticks, wazoo water bag, silcock key, sawyer mini, ~ 10 feet of gorilla tape, fire kit (4 inch ferro rod with striker, fat wood, 2 lighters, write in the rain notebook/pencil, 2 mickwick firestarters and an emergency blanket), metal single walled water bottle, snacks and battery charger for my phone. This is in addition to work laptop and cords. Time of year/weather dictates type of jacket I'm wearing. I also carry a small TSA approved multitool, only has small pliers, tiny scissors and a file. Down side to only carry on is no blade or saw of any kind. Once I'm through TSA some of these items go in my pockets.
Recently I took my clothes five days worth a roll of Tp my meds and four disposable packages of wipes a pen and small notebook a couple of snicker bars and one bottle of water on the plane flight. Don't get me started on Phoenix with that many people so close together total chaos when shtf
Great video guys. Luckily I've only had to fly onec for my job. I dont normally fly unless i just have to. My edc bag is 29 pounds, and it probably has way more than i need. My theory is i can shed as i go. Im 6'4" and 280. So my favorite snack is what ever i have. I clearly have a issue with turning food down. 🤣🤣🤣.
I carry in my pockets: my GT-1 multitool, flashlight, all-steel zebra pen, bandana, sketchbook, keychain with keys, whistle + little light, lighter, a bit of cordage, air pods, wallet. In my backpack: shemagh, puffy coat, hoodie, buff, skivvy roll, grayl with cup, ifak, maybe laptop, battery pack, extra headphones, safety glasses, gloves, emergency poncho, stainless water bottle, mobile camera gear, Nintendo switch, snacks. There’s a small pouch with little possibles as well.
I do not fly on any commercial airline ever. If my being somewhere in a short time, I will not go. Knowing that someone on the ground can take control of the plane I am on, I will stay on the ground. It may take me a week to walk 40 miles but I don't care. U still will not fly. I have been in a single engine plane and a helicopter and I enjoyed both, so I am not afraid of flying.
CHAT GPT \A heavy steel filing cabinet can potentially work as a Faraday cage, but its effectiveness depends on several factors: Material and Construction: The cabinet must be made of a conductive material like steel, which can block electromagnetic fields. The continuity of the material is crucial, meaning there should be minimal gaps or openings where electromagnetic waves can penetrate (NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center). Seals and Gaps: The doors and any seams of the cabinet need to be well-sealed. Even small gaps can allow electromagnetic waves to enter. Rubber or metal seals around the edges can help ensure better continuity of the conductive surface . Grounding: Proper grounding of the filing cabinet can enhance its effectiveness as a Faraday cage. This allows any electromagnetic energy that the cabinet absorbs to be safely dissipated into the ground . Frequency Range: The effectiveness of a Faraday cage depends on the frequency of the electromagnetic waves. A steel filing cabinet might block higher frequencies well but could be less effective against lower frequencies. Testing with the specific types of signals you wish to block is recommended (NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center) . Steps to Improve a Filing Cabinet's Effectiveness as a Faraday Cage: Ensure Tight Seals: Make sure the doors close tightly and consider adding conductive gaskets. Cover Openings: Any holes or gaps, such as those for cables, should be covered with conductive material. Ground the Cabinet: Connect a grounding wire to the cabinet to allow any absorbed electromagnetic energy to dissipate. Test the Setup: Use a radio or other electronic device inside the cabinet and check if it receives any signals from outside when the cabinet is closed. While a heavy steel filing cabinet can act as a basic Faraday cage, its effectiveness can vary based on the specifics of its construction and how well it is sealed and grounded. For critical applications, purpose-built Faraday cages or Faraday bags might be more reliable options.
Hard video for me guys seeing as how i don’t fly period since flying home from the Navy back in 81 . I was flown home in an old as hell DC3 cargo plane that shook so bad we all just knew we were going down. I ended up sucking down a case of coors beer in about an hour and a half and couldn’t walk off the plane when it finally landed in Miami but I would say just a carry on bag.
Other than clothes, I have a lighter, keychain flashlight, and a gerber shard. My situation would be a lot different than most because I work near the Jackson-hartsfield airport. And my house is under 10 miles from there 😅
I already Left, I'm already up there, I may freeze my ass off 6 months of the year, but the Wolves up here, what do you think they will do, when lights go out? A bit of a buffer between me and wandering..... wanderers.. .
2:35 I haven't stepped on an airplane since I got my DD-214 in April of 1990. Don't plan on doing so again either. Therefore, I have no restrictions on what I carry in my vehicle.
Same
Rah
I'm not military, just a 70 year old lady who remembers what it was like when we didn't live under constant restrictions and near tyranny. I will never step foot on an airplane again, and I have not flown for 30 years.
Hey Nancy!
@@kevinramsey3490 hi, Z Kevin! I miss all the Patreon get togethers, so it's always nice to see you guys on and after the Tuesday live.
I'm turning 62, my pack weighs 34 pounds. I've got to lighten it up and I'm not carrying anything battery powered but a flashlight. I appreciate this video!
Take some quarters for the pay phone 😂😂😂 just kidding.
We appreciate the positive feedback and thanks for watching! I’ve got a video on how to cut weight coming very soon 👍🏻
If your looking for a decent light that isn't heavy see if the pak-lite 9 volt light works for your needs.
Make a trug. V frame with a wheel. Poles through your belt, weight at the wheel, hands free carrying
I fly frequently. I carry everything TSA will approve to include some defense stuff they miss. I won't divulge cause it has been working for years..... I don't want to play my hand. I pay for extra bags so I can be normally armed. I fly from the south east....so normal EDC and CCW STUFF.
Carry salt. I carry Redmond's. It has over 60 trace minerals and has stopped cramping when water alone did not. Great talks!
Interesting- I like it!
Yeah it's funny a lot of people Overlook having salt in their bug out bags and emergency kits
For a lot of reasons we use and carry the pink Himalayan salt.
Electrolytes are critical. That’s why sports drinks and powders have salt and other things
Salt substitute. Potassium Chloride.
I’m never without snacks and water at least! That came from working night shift during the pandemic and nothing was open late
Great video JJ! Thanks for joining in the “fun”!
That it was brother 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Just returned from a flight yesterday. I had one carryon; Maxpedition Versipack, Grayl 24 oz purifier, ROC16 10,000 mil amp solar battery bank, TACAMO plasma lighter, 50 feet tough grid paracord, 2 pairs of socks, second skin antiseptic, LED headlamp, 1 quart bag of smoked almonds
My last flight a week ago, I brought an IFAQ (well stocked), soft ballistic armor, cut proof sleeves and cut proof gloves, a head lamp, comfortable walking shoes, waterproof shoes, some extra dried food.
I fly out of state every week for work. I paused the clip at 2:28 to make this comment.
I do not check luggage at this time. I only carry what will pass TSA. I do that because if I have a delayed or cancelled flight, I will not have to worry about my checked luggage catching up with me. Currently, my priority is getting home to my family and not whether or not I’m going to get caught in an escape from inner city America. … more to come after I finish watching the clip.
Okay. After watching the video, I feel I need to consider wool underwear.
I am curious of what it would be like if a person was stranded over 250 miles from their destination?
I fly over 1,200 miles from home every week. My current travel luggage does not include a check bag because it’s very difficult to have quick change flights if there is a checked bag. Consequently, I only carry what TSA allows me to carry on my travels.
When it comes to using a poncho or cape as your only shelter and you still need rain gear to leave the shelter (like to collect firewood), I've started bringing an extra disposable clear plastic poncho as a backup. Alternatively, you could bring plastic painters' cloth or heavy-duty trash bags. The bonus to the clear plastic items is they can be used to help construct a super shelter in a cold emergency. They don't weigh much, aren't bulky and cheap to replace since they are pretty much limited use items but can get you out of conundrums like that.
In addition to my checked-in bag, I always bring a backpack on-board with me with an extra set of clothes/socks, prescription meds, medical/survival supplies, including fire, bleed control, shelter, food, water filtration/purification, container, navigation, cordage, self-protection, signaling, and wealth contingencies. This stuff will help you in a survival situation or even if the airline just loses your checked-in bag.
I carry on a bag with a change of clothes, medications, Bible, spare charger, spare phone battery, and some cash. In the winter, I bring a small blanket. The airline will permit one comfort item such as a blanket or pillow. I also wear my jacket as I enter the plane.
That’s great! Good job- I wasn’t aware of the comfort item. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
A bible. That’s sounds like a comforting idea.
Really appreciate the video guys I'm over 60 years old and I've got enough reality and experience to see this video as the most realistic venue possible. For those people estranged to the realities that you must have resources and know your capabilities and what you'll be up against in the dark hard times if and when they happen. You have also opened my eyes to the holes in everybody's game including my game. One more thing can you tell me what the gear or should I say the shirt and pants that the gentleman on the left was wearing with the glasses on thank you very much again for the great video from Canada with love❤
Thank you so much! I have a video coming up on my gear very soon.. I was wearing a Realtree poly fishing hoodie (spf 50) and my pants are Fjallraven Vida Pros (not the ventilated ones).. Appreciate you watching!
I always wear tactical pants and a wicking t-shirt when I travel.
Good stuff, I’ve never flown and never will, BUT I work over 600 miles from home! Have told my wife don’t give up it may take me 2 months to get home! At least I can carry stuff you can’t take on a plane.
That is a LONG way! It’s the stuff movies are made of
Get an electric bike or regular bike trailer, too. 🚲
There's two ways to virtually guarantee no blisters on your feet . One is to wear Wright brand socks which are two layer socks made to prevent blisters and the second method is sock liners . The silk liners work best but the synthetic ones are good too.
My basic pack is 25# with supplemental 15# belt/ vest kit.
The belt kit allows the bottom of the pack to rest on it making it a sort of waist belt transferring some weight to your hips.
This has 3-4 days of food and minimal water with the ability to replace the water.
I always pack a pouch with (checked bag) leatherman tool, knife, and defense system. In my carry-on I pack a headlamp, flashlight, Grayl, small med kit, cotton balls, chapstick, Bic lighter and spare socks. For the exact reason you discuss in the video. "You Never Know"
I could really relate to the foot conversation. I’ve had serious issues come up after just 9 miles. Starting out with a good pair of boots (broken in) is crucial, so when traveling I keep this in mind and leave the cheap sandals at home.
Other two items are water or purification device and some type of multipurpose jacket. One thing I’ve learned is we underestimate the time spent in locating food and water and shelter prep.
Starting out in an urban environment, almost everything you will need is there and available if you know where to look. Water? Carry a sillcock key. You can make a boiling container from any can you find. If you MUST have a fire for some reason it will have to be very small so a few rocks will be adequate to support your can. You can find plastic sheeting for a shelter, construction sites might even have Tyvek blowing around. You can improvise a cutting tool fairly quickly too. It won't take too long to run across an abandoned car that's open and you can find a blanket or almost anything else you might need. The main thing to remember is that you're not practice-camping, you're doing it to get home. Leave anything unnecessary behind each day, you can find more. I'd try to have less than 10# in my rucksack, and most of that will be socks, basic first-aid, a lighter - the kinds of things that if I need them I need them immediately.
This is a good thought process!
In downtown Atlanta if you want to blend in the tarp would be a plus but you should also try to find a shopping cart.
The Homeless Act is definitely a good greyman technique 👍🏻
I live east of ATL and try not to go into down/midtown/ top end but sometimes you have to. You know, if a CME / EMP hits when you're there, I think I might try to get a crowd together that's exfilling out and stay with them. Kinda like the shad do in the lake. Atlanta's a big town with a LOT of miles to go. But I'll have my get home gear from the truck. I would stand out but would have visible teeth. I think you'd have 24 hrs. to get out of there.
Nothing quick or quiet about a shopping cart.
Be prepared for the worst by staying ready. Keeping that in mind, here are 35 items you can include in a survival kit which will be TSA approved when you travel.
Navigation & Communication
You don’t know what environment you may find yourself in. Woods? Coastal? Mountains? Desert? In order to prepare to navigate in any setting, these are the TSA-approved survival kit basics:
Watch: If you’re not already wearing a waterproof watch, then it absolutely needs to go in your bug out bag. Watches can be great ways to navigate and track progress across the terrain.
Flashlight: Make sure to pack any batteries it may need so that they don’t accidentally drain if the light gets turned on in transit.
Compass with mirror: Choose a compact, lightweight option.
Headlamp: Take the batteries out for transit, if possible (same as the flashlight).
GPS with a map chip: Make sure it is charged.
Cellphone with extra battery pack: Make sure it is charged.
AM/FM radio: Pack batteries in an extra bag so that they don’t accidentally drain.
Whistle: Make sure no fire-starting element is attached; otherwise, it may be confiscated.
Diet
Any proper bug out bag will have some way to store water along with food. When SHTF, you need to make sure that your body is getting the hydration and nutrients that it needs to make smart decisions, move, and fight, if necessary.
Here are a few diet-related items that TSA won’t take from you.
Empty water bottles wrapped with duct tape: You can’t take water through most airports, but you can take empty bottles and then fill them up once you’re through. Smaller bottles are easier to store. Just make sure that they are clean and that the cap seals tightly. Wrap duct tape around the bottles for easy storage of the useful tape.
Water purification tablets: In the event that you end up somewhere where you can’t just fill up your water bottles, then you may need to take water from sources of unknown sanitation. To avoid getting sick, keep a tiny bottle of water purification tablets that kill waterborne contaminants that cause disease. Learn more about purifying water during emergencies.
Metal cup: During a prolonged survival situation, you may need to boil water, whether to purify water for drinking, cleaning, or food preparation. Make sure to include a metal cup that can be heated over a fire, such as stainless steel or titanium.
Energy bars and nuts: Include food that will stay good no matter the environment.
Health
Keeping your body healthy in any situation is extremely important. If you get sick or injured and there is no modern facility nearby, then you may be completely on your own.
In order to make it out of that situation, you will need to be able to take care of yourself. Here are a few basics which can help:
Soap: Small hotel-sized bars are better for carrying.
Pain medication: Any pain medication, such as Ibuprofen, will do. Dry pills are better than liquid capsules, as liquid capsules can melt together in extreme heat.
First aid kit: include all the basics like bandages, gauze, etc.
Sanitary wipes: You never know when you may need to clean something important, like a wound.
Toiletries: Include common everyday necessities such as a toothbrush, small toothpaste, and floss.
Face masks: In the case of an airborne contaminant or outbreak, having a mask that is capable of filtering out fine particulate matter is a must.
Survival
The entire point of this TSA-approved survival kit is to be prepared when the worst happens, no matter when or where it does.
Here are some of the survival items which you will need and that TSA won’t take from you:
Copies of ID and cash: There is truly no way of knowing what may happen. In the event that you are separated from your wallet, make sure to have spare copies of ID and extra cash in the bag.
Matches: Get matches that are easy start or anywhere matches, where dampness would impact them less and start your fire quicker.
Firestarter: As a second means to start a fire, including a fire starter tool. Just make sure it is within tool length requirements and does not have a sharp metal end.
Zip ties: Include a handful for a variety of uses.
Paracord: Again, include this cord for use in a variety of settings and applications. The 550 Paracord is a good place to start.
Air Traveler Swiss Army “Knife”: While you couldn’t take a real Swiss Army knife, you can take an Air Traveler version, which has a blunted nail file, tweezers, mini scissors, and a line cutter.
Multitool: In a slightly upgraded version compared to the Air Traveler, a multitool, such as the Leatherman 831488 Multitool, is travel-safe due to the absence of a folding knife but has a variety of tools included, such as a carabiner, tweezer, pliers, nail file, scissors, spring-action wire cutters, flat and Phillips screwdrivers, and a bottle opener.
Small fishing kit: A small kit of line and lure could help sustain you if you’re near an inhabited water source.
Two Ziploc bags: good for any number of uses; make sure to pack the big one-gallon sizes.
Mylar space blanket: While it may seem unnecessary, you won’t be saying that if you end up somewhere cold or are soaked and need to be warm while drying.
Small sewing kit: While mending clothes may not be at the top of your survival list, stitching shut a wound just might be so it pays to be prepared with a needle and some thread.
Sweet Jesus! You might not get those things confiscated but you'll 100% get a cavity search. Maybe that list is what you've gleaned from reading prepper fiction, idk, but you need to do without 90% of that crap.
I’m grabbing my small get home bag out of the trunk, I’m checking my carry on and inside of my car for anything useful and I’m heading home asap.for the first little bit you’re probably fairly safe to travel in the same direction as other people but I’d distance myself as much as possible as time goes on.
I grew up in Cobb county, I now have over 20 acres in Floyd county. No way I would want to be in that environment anymore
Moved to Floyd two years ago from Cobb. Much quieter and safer here. Better school environment in armuchee for our youngest.
@@mjs8148 yeah I grew up in Smyrna, and in Rome now
Yeah Armuchee is nice. I'm North of y'all in Summerville, but I work in Rome
Suffering with Salyer!
So fun!!
@@ONThree I guess we'll just have to buy you a 8X8 foot poncho.
If you have a problem with shin splints, you can do an easy foot exercise to fix it. Get a shallow box and dump some marbles in it. Pick the marbles up with your toes and put them in a can. Repeat.
It'll toughen up the muscles in your feet and take some of the pressure off.
I'm 85 and I'm not going anywhere. I'll just hang out and defend the homeplace. The good part is I'm in West Virginia which gives me some solace. I did pick up some good points here and I do have my 'Bug-Out' gear by the door. Just in case. And I have a '64 Dodge and gas cans full. Just to get to an alternative location.
2 things:
1: I’m glad I waited my turn in line for my HPG Tarahumara to be back in stock. It’s a great little pack and with the addition of a little pouch tied down inside it helps hold the little items that can get lost in there like keys and wallet.
2: Can you guys do another event like this when I’m not on call lol. Preferably over the summer or early fall.
Good video thanks guys!
2:28 into the video.
Change of clothes, toiletries, battery bank, cords, etc.
Lighter, hooks, fishing line, tinder, compass, Sawyer mini, container, puffer jacket, $1 poncho, hat, sun glasses, survival bracelet with 5 different cords in the guts, silcocks key, a few other items.
Basically everything in my get home bag except a cutting tool, firearm, ammo…anything not allowed by TSA.
Hotlanta? NNNNOOOO!
the 75/85 is gonna be a battleground!
Luckily I work online from my apartment about an hour north of Atlanta on 575. My wife luckily works hybrid but still goes to the city 2-3 times per week.
Had a flashlight, snacks, vape stuff, water, cash, charging cables and portable phone charger, book, nicotine pouches, ear buds, lighter and a glow stick. Had a 6 hour layover in Chicago so I was glad I had that stuff! A few minutes into video btw.
I rarely fly these days but when I did, my carry-on was my backpack in it was my broke in boots, water bottle with filter attachment, 3 pair socks, boony hat, medication kit with plastic scissor, map of area I was going to, protein bars and change of clothes 13 May at 6:49 pm
Haven’t been in a plane have no desire to get on one but as far as a walk home I’d say realistically I’d make between 5-10 miles with being careful making sure to not run into other people. Just my two cents
Yes- strategic avoidance 👊🏻
Great video guys! Glad y’all are spearheading the shift towards common sense and realistic expectations. ✌🏼
Thanks brother! I think we’re on the right path 👊🏻
Thanks!!
Great video guys lots of info.
Thanks!
Agree 💯% with hygiene. Being scalded in the groin sucks a$$ 💯% Been there; done that. Fresh socks are also mighty, mighty important. Hydration is also mighty, mighty important since hydration and electrolyte replacement is very, very, very important.
For sure!
Hi SD😊
Awesome video again
When you were saying about the electrolytes which do you want first the potassium or salt
Thank you! I combine both at the same time as you need both.. I use Snake Juice and LMNT combined at the same time.. If I had to choose I would take the salt first and then the potassium 👍🏻
@@FueltheFires
Hey thank you for taking the time to apply I know you're busy
And I only asked just in case I run out of electrolytes and have separate ones of magnesium or potassium anyway thanks and God bless
❤️✝️💯☺️
50 miles from home, it would probably take me 3 days. I'm out of shape. And if I just have what I took on a plane then it would probably be just a small lumbar pack or side bag with clothes. And the only good resource I would have for emergency would be a Wazoo necklace. That's about all I could get past the TSA and I usually have a smart water bottle and a mini sawyer filter with me most of the time 7:24
Thanks for being realistic! 👊🏻
Time Stamp: 2:33. I carry-on in my backpack a Tactical Pen I receive in BATTLBOX, a small first-aid kit including a tourniquet, my key chain that also has a small Olight flashlight, an Exotac NanoStriker XL, and a small Swiss Tech Listig knife. I (I traveled many times for the federal government as a civilian and never got that taken away) also include snack foods for my trip to include packets of peanuts, crackers, and a full water container (that was empty when I went through security). I also included a shemagh and a baseball hat. I included a fully charged power bank and cell phone with correct cables. I would carry an extra pair of underwear and sox.
I am over 40 and do a 27 mile hike in about 8.5 hours with a stop to refill water and eat. So there are people that can do 40 +/- IF they prep for it. That said, a person MUST train for it or 20 miles is pushing it. I carry my EDC pack that weighs about 18 pounds not including a 3L hydration pack.
Haven't flown since 1981, but can relate to travel preps when driving at 68 yrs old
GREAT video guys see yall on the next one 👊🔥🔥
👊🏻🔥👊🏻
1. I no longer fly...PERIOD! I will not put myself in a situation where I cannot carry self-protection tools...PERIOD!
2. Stress is the #1 KILLER of humans, especially in an emergency situation. Controlling stress is the key to sustaining (a.k.a. "surviving") ANY situation. Sleep deprivation coupled with stress is a disaster waiting to happen, especially the older you get.
3. In a SHTF situatio mitigate stress and deprivation of any sort to up your chance of getting through whatever you're facing. Your psychological state of mind plays the most important role in you making it through whatever situation you find yourself having to handle.
Agreed 👍🏻
💯 percent!
I just spent a couple of weeks out in the woods at my family's property, carrying a pistol (at least) every day. I returned to my communist state of Ill-Annoy and am disarmed again. I feel naked. I hate it.
In the city where I live, we have a lot of tree cover along the river that flows through. There is a homeless man I've spent Time having coffee with and picking his brain on urban survival. He's the first person that told me that as much as the cover along the river seems like a safe place to take shelter, he's been physically attracted by other street people looking to steal what little he has. He told me he found it safer to find shelter in back alleys, parks, or industrial parks well of the main roads. Food for thought
I try to avoid flying these days, but always take a lighter, a small first aid kit, paraccord, 2 bottles of water, a spare jumper(tied around my waste), some cash, a bottle opener on a key ring with my keys. If I take a rucksack as carry on, spare tshirt with socks/underpants, some nibbles and a metal cup with an unpacked poncho!
I always make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes on a plane too - no heavy boots, no brogues, no flip flops!
Love the chat content,and the reasonings.
Awesome! Thanks for watching 🔥
2:29 I the last time I flew on a plane was going to Afgan with the Army in 2019. So I could carry whatever I wanted with the exception of ammo and fuel. So mine is a little unfair.
02:36, I haven't taken a plane for 30-plus years. I do carry an enhanced EDC the few times I am able to schedule a ride for me and my powerchair to church on Sundays.
I'll second your idea for having the Snake Juice for electrolytes!
Good stuff!
I've walked in subdesert for up to 9 hours in my 60s. I've brought a limited amount of water. It took some months to train up to that.
Because of tsa , my pack is benign but I’m going to savage as many defense tools as I can from the vehicle.
With the scenario these fellow's have described here, I'm assuming the vehicle to get you from the airport to home is a rental, which just leaves you with your carry-on pack you got off the plane with. Obviously, there's not going to be a whole lot in that to aid you in a 50-mile walk home when the car quits running. Would it be reasonable enough to think that we should develop the habit of immediately driving to the closest convenience store after we're off the plane before beginning the drive home and grabbing a few things. Matches, lighter, tape and bandaids, a bottle of alcohol, sewing kit, scissors, disinfectant wipes, utility knife, razor blades, birthday candles garbage bags, and such. These are all things that I've spotted on racks in just about every convenience store I've been in. They aren't going to add much weight to your pack and they are items you can eventually use at home anyway. And they can definitely be game changer if you do end up having to hoof it home.
In another video we discussed doing that very thing 👊🏻
@FueltheFires I wasn't aware of that, I just stumbled on this channel today, but I almost didn't leave the comment, thinking others might think it was corny.
Convenience stores could get sketchy, quick. I'd just go light and as fast as I can. You'd be surprised how much stuff you can find just walking. Heck, it's ATL, you're likely to find a gun!
@@feoxorus the scenario provided for you to already be on the road heading home when the car quits running, the store stop would be prior to that when everything is still normal
If some enterprising guy were smart, he'd have kiosks at the airport just past security. Or rental lockers. An association of travelers would leave their "care package" at the airport they're leaving from, and pick up someone else's "care package" at their arrival airport.
Everything already planned-out, purchased, set up, batteries-in. Ready-to-go. If you use something you must replace it before putting it back in the rental locker.
Imagine such a thing.
The one size up from tarahumara is the Jonction the umlindi is the one above that. The jonction is a great bag just a bit bigger than the tarahumara and have two big bottle pocket on the side I have them both and I think it would be a better option if He want to size down and he could buy the Line pocket who fit on the Jonction to add a bit off kit I put my first aid kit in and the pocket act like a coat keeper on the pack.
Thanks for posting that- you are correct 👍🏻
Dehydration/electrolyte deficiency is a serious thing. I once got caught on a warm afternoon deer hunt push that went several hours past what I thought it would; so I foolishly left my water behind. I paid for it with painful leg cramps and muscular feebleness that lasted for the rest of the day. I now always take water when I am on a hike of any duration.
Great video
I've walked 32 miles in a day carrying all my gear. That was after pushing myself to my limit for a month straight. Ain't nobody getting off their couch and doing it day one.
Love this! Thanks so much for sharing.
If the scenario is an airport I personally don't see any reason why not to check my mini survival pack and firearm. Sometimes there are complications, but once you figure it out its not so bad, and i do not ever fly without a gun, anymore. My mini kit serves as essentially a multi-tool tier accessory to my main pack, and is a 100% redundancy that can be worn on a sling or in a bag.
I have a fixed blade, a Victoribox Ranger 2, a full 6x8 tarp, two candles, a small booboo kit with mylar blanket, 75 of paracord, duct tape, UCO container with storm proof matches, wire saw, whistle, fishing line and lures, bandana, gear maintenance, compass, signaling mirror and a few other goodies. In the same backpack that I keep that in I also keep my checked firearm (when flying) pens and a pocket notebook and a redundancy for my edc.
Something your scenario brought to mind is that if you were to get stuck on an overpass you might very well be screwed. It has me wondering about the idea of being able to rope down off the side, using proper equipment. Not something I'd carry, but maybe leave in my vehicle. Some of the overpasses in my area are large enough that it could take you half an hour to navigate from the center to the end. And in Atlanta, Orlando and a few other places you have entire miles of overpass, with some going over OTHER overpasses lol they could really, really pose a serious obstacle getting stuck in the center, with some unsavory things at either end could cut your survival adventure short pretty quick.
It's a good walk from the airport to NW Georgia
Yes it is
Rip
I haven't flown in 4 years and I'm not planning to do it again. 60 yoa. With the restrictions on what can be carried on-board, my carry-ons only held a change of clothes, meds, basic toiletries, flashlight and electronics (w/ a power bank).
Coming off a flight and into an EMP would be a serious bummer.
I backpacked 26 miles in a day, once, with an overloaded pack in terrible, cold rain. Multiple stops including the retrieval of one of our party that missed a trail change. It took from 0830 until 2200. We were all 17-22 years old, and it was a rough slog. If I could manage 10 miles the first day now I'd be hurting the next morning. Old people and families with children will consider 2 mph a good pace.
Just got back from a 4 day trip to Mexico. 1 bag, carry on only, but the day we left I had been up since 11 pm the night before violently sick. Had plenty of food/gear to walk home from the airport, but I was dehydrated, holding back vomit/diarrhea down to my last 20oz of water and had taken so much Imodium and zofran that I was hallucinating. It would have taken me probably 3x as long to get home walking, if I ever made it.
Thanks for the heads up. Imodium is a great idea for your pack.
The first thing to prepare for a survival situation is to stay in shape. You will lose the battle if you are out of shape.
You're 💯 percent correct!
I wouldn't be able to answer that question because I like to drive everywhere I go I like staying on the ground so I will always have gear with me
Because of the state of the world and my immediate area I no longer carry a basic get home bag in my vehicle. I keep a full-blown battle bag And have downsized a lot of items so I can be faster and continuously on the move to get away from the city as quickly as possible. I have 0 intent On remaining in place in any position if I needed to get out
Many are following this exact same logic
2:27, I'm actually in Hawaii on a family vacation right now. Carry on I don't have much survival related stuff. I had to empty out so much to decide what I could take on the place. My checked luggage does have a great pocket knife that I take with me everywhere. My carry on had a change of clothes, my travel Bible, my eReader, some AAA batteries, a few portable USB chargers with cables for everything I had with me, medications, chapstick. I do wear quick dry underwear and earth tone pants. Same pants I would wear in the woods if I wasn't wearing camo to begin with (in the woods). I try to make a point of every time I leave the house I am wearing shoes that I could walk home in if I had to. If I'm in my Jeep I at least have a pair of walking shoes or boots in the Jeep that I could change into to walk home.
Right on- do what you can with what you have 👊🏻
I have a similar thought process. I also keep a jackery for rapid charging of my mobile devices and a saw in my trunk for potentially clearing hazards or a quick place to stash my car or create cover for my lil corolla. I wish I had a suv. I do not but I can travel by road with 100 percent reliability.
@@Pleasemison I like my Jeep because off-roading is a hobby for me, but I also like it because I know I can go basically anywhere if roads become a problem.
This is interesting. I work in the city of Seattle. But I live 48 miles away in not a big city. At least 10 minutes of my commute is devoted to thinking about how I would egress out of this city and get home.
Definitely something to think about- good for you 👊🏻
Wheneveer i fly I always check a bag and will throw in surival/edc items in there. Once I clear the airport and security they will go back into my pack.
Cool stuff gentleman. I think about carrying lighter loads a lot. I also calculate distance involvement. Cant do 40 miles. I do prefer quick build and tear down shelter.
Thank you! You are certainly on the right track 👊🏻
Maybe someone can answer this question for me. I keep my get home bag in my car where that dumb itty bitty extra tire is. If there is an EMP and it affects the vehicles, how am I to get to my bag? Aren’t the doors electronic?
Can you get to the trunk from the back seat?
Nope
I think you guys should try and live out of a messenger bag for a day to find out how to lighten the load. Less is more. You end up flattening everything and packing stuff in ziplocks to save space. You can really get down to ultralight levels without the prices if you make a couple of smart sacrifices and austere choices in gear. Heaviest thing I carry is an ifak, tent, knife and a grayl filter which combined come out to a whopping 2 pounds 1/4 -1/2 pounds. Everything after that is about comfort and food.
What is the name of the bug making that noise. I was there last week. They were smaller looking locust than locust of Oklahoma. These were much quieter than locust In Oklahoma. I hear them in your video.
Cicadas
2:28 so I take my every day hiking bag I keep rain top and bottoms from rei it's a nice rain jacket and pants. I take out my backup multi tool and full tang knife. I have a fire kit. Stanley small pot with lid also has cleaning soap. An army beanie cap no matter how hot it is. My electronics bag it's a small bag batteries USB file storage thing . One pare of darn tough socks. One pare of dip shorts. A full personal ifak with two tornaquets. Some cordage and my small grayl water filter with purification tablets.i might be forgetting a few things
My plans will always include water and food for my pet and a pet stroller so that I don't have to carry him for miles and miles. He's my baby and I'm not leaving him behind nor will I let anyone else have him.
Understood.. Pets are family too
get some strapping and molle pouches- if you are taking the dog stroller use it to carry some of your gear and water if you have the wheels let them take some of the weight to save on you
@@karlmorte5846 carl, thank you for that excellent suggestion. Great thinking!
Very helpful info from the Three Bearded Guys™ 😀
Glad it was helpful!
Commute from Richmond VA to DC often. My fear is a SHTF along the drive. Many rivers and harsh terrain if you have to hoof it 30,40,60,90! Miles. And you’re not going to walk it down I-95 safely.
Hmmm....Normally I have a decent backpack as my carry on ( I don`t check-in any luggage ). In the bag I have toiletries, extra batteries, Gameboy advance SP / games / charger, extra flashlight, pens & pencils & note books for drawing / notes, 3 cliff bars, chewing gum, cordage, 3 pairs of socks, 3 pairs of underware, 2 pairs of jeans and 1 cargo shorts, 3 shirts, 1 hoodie, 1 pair Air Jordan, small boo boo kit. Nothing too crazy. Ok going to finish watching yall.
Thank you for being honest, posting what you carry and watching the video!
@@FueltheFires Great conversation guys. Thanks for sharing.
I always fly with food and way to purify water along wirh foul weather gear
Great mindset 👊🏻
Don't know about carry-ons, but I'm 73 and walk daily with a 30 lb weight vest for exercise.
That’s awesome!
Keep on keeping on 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
I don't fly. I haven't in years. I try not to go anywhere that I can't have my get home gear available. Hell, when I'm driving somewhere, I'm checkin out patches of woods in case an EMP hits while I'm there and I have to hoof it home. I agree with Brandon. I want a tarp. Screw that balling up under a poncho. Yeah, I carry a poncho too.
I carry both because I believe your rain gear and shelter should be separate.. Wish I didn’t have to fly but sometimes I can’t avoid it unfortunately..
Darn Tough socks are great. What pants do you recommend?
Fjallraven are my faves
RE: what you carry on a plane, given the current state of air travel I don't fly. We have a vacation scheduled for next week and we are driving out there. No way am I flying if I can avoid it.
Great conversation with friends! ))) What kind of backpack are we talking about at the end of the video, it’s very interesting to look at it? Keep up the good work!!!
What neck knife are you wearing?
It’s a William Collins “Mini”
What is the name of the backpack you were discussing????
I am going to got off the X and move then do a guer chek wen i get to suaef plaes from iron wolf😊
In my backpack which is under the seat I have: t6zero, 4 plastic tent stakes, quick deploy ridge line, 6 6-foot hanks of paracord, 100 feet #36 bankline, SOL bivy, wazoo hat with small ferro rod, cash, wazoo necklace, wazoo fire card, extra pair of wool socks, pair of gloves, change of underwear, small pocket flashlight (extra batteries), headlamp (extra batteries), 2 glow sticks, wazoo water bag, silcock key, sawyer mini, ~ 10 feet of gorilla tape, fire kit (4 inch ferro rod with striker, fat wood, 2 lighters, write in the rain notebook/pencil, 2 mickwick firestarters and an emergency blanket), metal single walled water bottle, snacks and battery charger for my phone. This is in addition to work laptop and cords. Time of year/weather dictates type of jacket I'm wearing. I also carry a small TSA approved multitool, only has small pliers, tiny scissors and a file. Down side to only carry on is no blade or saw of any kind. Once I'm through TSA some of these items go in my pockets.
You are definitely prepared my friend!
@@Nyeupe-Nguvu TOTAL bs. Glow sticks? How about fairy dust?
What's the name of the "packs" you like to use again?
I don't fly.
You can't control your destiny on a plane.
Drive.
Can't go wrong admiring the beautiful USA. 🇺🇸
Recently I took my clothes five days worth a roll of Tp my meds and four disposable packages of wipes a pen and small notebook a couple of snicker bars and one bottle of water on the plane flight. Don't get me started on Phoenix with that many people so close together total chaos when shtf
Monkey butt is a real thing.
Go for State highways on north south route
Most parallel RR tracks and only go through older small towns
What’s next best boots besides Jason Sals’?
I wear Xeros myself.. Best change I ever made
@@FueltheFires cool. Thx
Great video guys. Luckily I've only had to fly onec for my job. I dont normally fly unless i just have to. My edc bag is 29 pounds, and it probably has way more than i need. My theory is i can shed as i go. Im 6'4" and 280. So my favorite snack is what ever i have. I clearly have a issue with turning food down. 🤣🤣🤣.
You are not alone my friend 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
I carry in my pockets: my GT-1 multitool, flashlight, all-steel zebra pen, bandana, sketchbook, keychain with keys, whistle + little light, lighter, a bit of cordage, air pods, wallet. In my backpack: shemagh, puffy coat, hoodie, buff, skivvy roll, grayl with cup, ifak, maybe laptop, battery pack, extra headphones, safety glasses, gloves, emergency poncho, stainless water bottle, mobile camera gear, Nintendo switch, snacks. There’s a small pouch with little possibles as well.
A prepared mind 👊🏻
@@FueltheFiresI try man
I do not fly on any commercial airline ever. If my being somewhere in a short time, I will not go. Knowing that someone on the ground can take control of the plane I am on, I will stay on the ground. It may take me a week to walk 40 miles but I don't care. U still will not fly. I have been in a single engine plane and a helicopter and I enjoyed both, so I am not afraid of flying.
Definitely have flashlights, light sticks, batteries and a compass.
Map of your area, nitril working gloves, cheapo painter's tarpaulin.
Sunscreen, bug net for the head.
@@wolfgangkranek376 Definitely.
I'm a truck driver so a lot of times I'm hundreds if not a couple thousand miles from home, so I carry my INCH bag with me.

\A heavy steel filing cabinet can potentially work as a Faraday cage, but its effectiveness depends on several factors:
Material and Construction:
The cabinet must be made of a conductive material like steel, which can block electromagnetic fields. The continuity of the material is crucial, meaning there should be minimal gaps or openings where electromagnetic waves can penetrate (NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center).
Seals and Gaps:
The doors and any seams of the cabinet need to be well-sealed. Even small gaps can allow electromagnetic waves to enter. Rubber or metal seals around the edges can help ensure better continuity of the conductive surface .
Grounding:
Proper grounding of the filing cabinet can enhance its effectiveness as a Faraday cage. This allows any electromagnetic energy that the cabinet absorbs to be safely dissipated into the ground .
Frequency Range:
The effectiveness of a Faraday cage depends on the frequency of the electromagnetic waves. A steel filing cabinet might block higher frequencies well but could be less effective against lower frequencies. Testing with the specific types of signals you wish to block is recommended (NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center) .
Steps to Improve a Filing Cabinet's Effectiveness as a Faraday Cage:
Ensure Tight Seals: Make sure the doors close tightly and consider adding conductive gaskets.
Cover Openings: Any holes or gaps, such as those for cables, should be covered with conductive material.
Ground the Cabinet: Connect a grounding wire to the cabinet to allow any absorbed electromagnetic energy to dissipate.
Test the Setup: Use a radio or other electronic device inside the cabinet and check if it receives any signals from outside when the cabinet is closed.
While a heavy steel filing cabinet can act as a basic Faraday cage, its effectiveness can vary based on the specifics of its construction and how well it is sealed and grounded. For critical applications, purpose-built Faraday cages or Faraday bags might be more reliable options.
Hard video for me guys seeing as how i don’t fly period since flying home from the Navy back in 81 . I was flown home in an old as hell DC3 cargo plane that shook so bad we all just knew we were going down. I ended up sucking down a case of coors beer in about an hour and a half and couldn’t walk off the plane when it finally landed in Miami but I would say just a carry on bag.
Small wool socks and buffalo wool can beat either one in comfort
I presume you mean like ankle style socks?
Other than clothes, I have a lighter, keychain flashlight, and a gerber shard.
My situation would be a lot different than most because I work near the Jackson-hartsfield airport. And my house is under 10 miles from there 😅
That is quite convenient 😂
@@FueltheFires yes, but I need to actually practice what yall are doing.
@@GodsGunsGlory777Right on- train train train 🔥
I already Left, I'm already up there,
I may freeze my ass off 6 months of the year, but the Wolves up here, what do you think they will do, when lights go out?
A bit of a buffer between me and wandering..... wanderers.. .
I commend you doing that.. I carry a 10 for the wolves and zombies
The luxury is being able to for-fill the need.
That’s what I believe
Very little...enough for 1 or 2 nights. Change of clothes, meds, make-up, watch, earrings, personal hygiene items (about 6 items), wallet and Iphone.
Right on 👍🏻
