      What's a seabee?

    • @CharlesMckinney-e4r
      @CharlesMckinney-e4r День тому +3

      A seabee is a navy construction man. He is more like a Marine combat engineer than anything else. He. Is trained in several areas of construction as well as in combat. I was a Builder. There are also steel workers. Utilityman which are plumbers. Equipment operators which are the ones that handle the heavy equipment. Electricians. Engineers which are the surveyors and several other ratings. I was sent to Camp Pendleton where I received my combat training at the hands of the Marine Corps and had to qualify in all the weapons used by the Marines because the Seabees provide our own security and if attacked we defend ourselves. You can look it up because on UA-cam there are quite a few videos about the Seabees. I served in in nmcb 5 as well as nmcb 3. Nmcb stands for Naval mobile construction battalion. I was home ported in Port Hueneme california. I went to "A" school where I was trained in carpentry and concrete Masonry in Davisville Rhode Island.

    I like to carry a automatic winding analog watch in the winter as you can wear it outside your clothing without the cold affecting a battery or display. Useful when doing a job where timings are important such as the military.
    You don't have to peel back mittens and parkas to see the time.
    If it doesn't have a strap to fit over your layers you can hang it off a pocket, webbing yoke, shoulder strap or vest.
    I still like a modern digital on my wrist as all those functions and backlighting are helpful.
    The vibration alarm feature is also good not just for being silent but you can feel your alarm even if burried under several layers of clothing or sleeping bag that would muffle any beeping your watch would have done.

    Very informative and entertaining as well, thanks!
    Just two things to add:
    - peanut butter is a multifunctional item, also good e.g. for creating candles or smearing it on skin etc.
    - steel can brittle and break in cold conditions, that is also true for knife blades (depending on the steel, of course). If in doubt and in very cold temperatures, remember to keep your blade always warm in/under your clothing. This is especially important for fixed blades, as folders are usually automatically kept in your pockets.
    Have a great 2025!

    • @justinhachey4931

      Lmfao wth does smearing peanut butter on the skin do? How do you make a candle too? I'm not trying to be rude im actually curious and want to know

    • @bangalorebobbel
      @bangalorebobbel День тому +2

      @@justinhachey4931 Well, that's very simple, it is basically the oil/fat content what makes it work for such uses.
      - skin care: especially in winter, your skin is extremely stressed. Usually you would carry some skin cream (often with high UV/sun protect factor) or lip balm etc. with you in order to protect your hands and face. If you don't have that, any plant or animal based oil or fat might do the job, at least as an emergency measure. In olden times people used even regularly such natural / home made stuff, e.g. the farmers in my neighborhood used often lard as hand cream, in some parts of the world they use ghee, elsewhere olive oil. If you have only peanut butter with you, you can also use that in an emergency. But beware, modern industrially manufactured stuff might contain preservatives, sugar, salt and what not, so use it only in an emergency. (Or DIY your own peanut butter, it is very easy.)
      - candle: same principle, oil/fat is what burns, and peanut butter is mainly such stuff. Basically you but something as a wick in peanut butter (which might be in any kind of container), and voila, you have your emergency candle. Some UA-cam channels (e.g. KennethKramm) can show you more detailed howtos.
      - else: peanut butter is multifunctional. You can use it also e.g. as bait, lubricant, fire starter, even as sticker remover or for keeping your doggy at home busy, you can mask scents with it, or prevent your carbon steel knife from rusting, and so on ... kind of endless possibilities when you start thinking about other possibilities than just using it for food purposes.

    • @bangalorebobbel
      @bangalorebobbel День тому +1

      ​@@Morski_BlackFox thanks and just to say it: of course it is always the better idea to carry directly what you need with you (like e.g. lip balm or a candle) instead of improvising. We are talking about what you can do in an emergency when you don't have with you what is really needed. Yet stuff like peanut butter or olive oil or petrol jelly etc. is very versatile and multifunctional and always a good idea to carry.
      About your question: well, I'm not really sure what is the best way to carry peanut butter especially during winter conditions. I guess it might harden in deep temperatures, yet how much it hardens migh depend on how or where you intend to carry it and whether you DIYed it at home or whether it is commercial stuff with god knows what stuff in it (commonly it is mixed with palm oil, or other cheap stuff plus preservatives and salt etc.). So you might not get it out of a tube in winter and might want to use any wide mouth container or so. Small packages as shown here are IMHO also an option in winter as you might be able to peel the packaging material if you cannot press the content out of a small opening. But for example here where I live I've never seen such portion packs, here I get that stuff only in jars.

    Another good lesson! These items are definitely the basic for any survival kit/pocket load out. Personal note, a Buck lockback is a great choice for a “survival knife”. I am a bit old school in preferring a match safe and storm matches to a lighter, unless the lighter is a recently filled Zippo.

    If you can find them: "Canada Light Classic Lighter". It has a little adjuster to crank the flame up or down. You can pry off the tin heat shield, partially remove the little valve adjuster, and you can ratchet it up to a huge flame, replace the tin heat shield. When it's REALLY cold out, you'll still have a great flame without having to keep putting the lighter back into an inside pocket every time you use it out there in the frozen hell.

    Could I survive? Probably not. RF&S would be able to survive with just a picture of these items though 😂

    I would love to see the real world numbers on people actually being rescued due to using a signal mirror. I'm not saying they don't work, just curious is all.
    If you're letting me substitute items I'm ditching the mirror and replacing it with a water purifying drinking straw, water purification tablets, or a metal canteen cup. That way I can have safe drinking water.
    Trust me I can make a big enough
    fire to get numerous peoples' attention, and a signal fire works both day and night! (A highly polished knife blade makes a great improvised signal mirror as well.)
    Due to having a smart phone I don't wear a wrist clock much anymore unless I'm timing a run, so in this scenerio I'd probably ditch the watch for my smart phone instead. That being said I once had a fairly simple digital watch that also had a built-in digital compass function that would allow you to adjust for the magnetic declination for your current location. I might think about getting another one. 🤔
    There are so many things you can do with a modern smart phone if you take advantage of the apps, both online and offline. Not just the many forms of communication via calling, texting, 911, etc., but there are also many free offline use apps for strobe/SOS signalling with phone flashlight as well as audible horns, sirens, and whistles. Then there are the many downloadable offline use compass, navigation, and map apps for use with your true gps capable smart phone. In an actual survival situation you just have to be miserly with usage and/or carry a means to recharge your smart phone.
    And before you tell me that a smart phone is useless once the battery is dead, the glass screen can be used as a makeshift signal mirror. I also keep a piece of automotive mirror tape stuck to the inside of my phone's protective case just because it fits there without issue. (And maybe a few other thin "C" items contained there as well.)
    Since your Bic lighter and attached duct tape are considered one of the five items could we make a necklace/lanyard out of the paracord for the lighter/tape combo and still condider that one item? That way it frees us up a spot for a poncho or tarp. Asking for a friend. 😆

    hehe, try that ice trick here right now, about 55cm thick ice, unlikely to produce 1/10 of the ice withoutinsaneamountofwork, better go with packed snow here, over 1m deep so plenty if water available.

    Tom is apoplectic that not only did you catch Jerry, but you also got to chow down. May Jerry RIP. Now, if you can make Wiley Coyote jealous by catching that pesky Road Runner, my life might be complete.

    How can those Casio watches be tactical? They arrive 5 minutes before the wearer does and the glare from it can be seen by the ISS.... But, a good & informative video.
