Bugging Out.mp3

00:00:00 Alright, hopefully everything is working here.
00:00:17 There might be a little bit of noise I'm using yet again a Frankenstein computer thanks to hardware.
00:00:23 Problems as usual.
00:00:26 This one I don't know.
00:00:27 I haven't quite tracked it down yet.
00:00:29 It seems to be.
00:00:30 I think something's overheating that's causing the motherboard to shut off, but that's OK.
00:00:36 I've got all my backup stuff still ready to go, so it hasn't hasn't really been too much of an issue.
00:00:40 It's just right now I've got loud fans.
00:00:43 So hopefully you can't hear those too much.
00:00:46 Uh, I thought I would check in a.
00:00:47 Little bit.
00:00:48 Today, since I'm taking a little.
00:00:50 Bit of a break, I'm really.
00:00:52 I've been doing a lot of.
00:00:55 Well, I guess you can.
00:00:56 Call it training.
00:00:56 But just also, I've been doing a lot of stuff around the the pillbox.
00:01:02 And so I've just been in a lot of manual labor and I've just, I've really worn out today.
00:01:06 I was like, you know what?
00:01:07 I'm going to take a break.
00:01:08 And try to heal up a little bit.
00:01:10 And I'll be back at it again tomorrow.
00:01:15 One of the things I'm training about, one of the things I'm I'm.
00:01:18 Training for rather.
00:01:19 And it's not because of, I think.
00:01:20 I think that this is going to be necessary.
00:01:22 It's not some kind of inevitability that I'm training for like, oh.
00:01:25 My God, I gotta hurry up.
00:01:26 And train for this.
00:01:27 This is something I'm going to need.
00:01:30 But I realized, you know, even though I'm out here at the bunker and I'm pretty isolated and the chances of anything actually reaching me out here, there, it's very low.
00:01:40 There is the possibility, and for most people this possibility exists.
00:01:45 There is the possibility that for some reason.
00:01:48 I will have to leave here in a hurry or an emergency situation and in less than ideal circumstances.
00:02:00 And especially there's a lot of people that have.
00:02:02 Yeah, I would say this is a lot more true of if you live in the city, especially especially if you live in one of these cities where there's riots.
00:02:09 Going on with.
00:02:10 The you know the uncertainty of the election and all this other stuff coming up, there's a lot of people that I think are probably building.
00:02:19 Bug out bags in.
00:02:20 And trying to come up with, you know, at least like a basic idea as to like what they should do.
00:02:26 And if you know if things go South and.
00:02:28 If you haven't, then you.
00:02:29 Should be.
00:02:30 You really should be.
00:02:32 Again, not because I think this is inevitable, I.
00:02:34 Really, don't.
00:02:35 I don't, but I.
00:02:35 Think it's something that you know you're crazy if you're not, at least.
00:02:39 Planning ahead and I think a lot of people are kind of doing.
00:02:42 This the the wrong way and.
00:02:45 And I'm speaking from experience.
00:02:46 When I first started putting together like a bug out bag, I I was doing what I think most people.
00:02:51 Too, where you just start.
00:02:53 You know you watch.
00:02:53 A bunch of.
00:02:54 Videos on YouTube of all these guys, they're like, yeah, make sure you have like, you know this and make sure you have this multi tool and make sure you've got like all this paracord it makes and and they tell you like all this stuff to stick in a backpack and then you you maybe you go online and buy all that **** and you stick it in the backpack and then you put in the closet.
00:03:13 Or something.
00:03:14 Alright, I'm good.
00:03:15 I got my I got my bug out bag.
00:03:17 I'm good if if anything goes wrong, I've got this magical backpack that's going to make it OK.
00:03:24 And you just forget about it and it's kind of like, you know, it's the same way a lot of people buy guns that way too.
00:03:30 You buy the gun like, alright, I got.
00:03:32 My gun. I.
00:03:32 Got my ammo or whatever and then you?
00:03:34 Stick it in.
00:03:35 The closet and you don't ever use it.
00:03:36 But like you're.
00:03:37 Like I got it.
00:03:37 You know, it's it's cool.
00:03:39 I don't have to be one of those gun guys.
00:03:40 I've got a gun.
00:03:44 And just like with the gun stuff.
00:03:47 With the bug out bag you got to.
00:03:50 Practice with it.
00:03:52 And now, what do I mean by that?
00:03:53 Well, first of all, before we even get started on any of that stuff.
00:03:58 There's a few things that you need to think about before you even start buying anything.
00:04:04 It's for a bug out bag.
00:04:06 OK, first of all.
00:04:08 Are you bugging out or are you bugging it?
00:04:11 OK, that's the basic thing.
00:04:13 Like where?
00:04:13 Where would you, where are you going?
00:04:15 Where are you?
00:04:16 Bugging out to a lot of people don't think about that.
00:04:19 There's like, I got my backpack and I'm good.
00:04:21 OK, but where?
00:04:24 Like what you got?
00:04:24 They just, you know, camp in the park.
00:04:27 Like what?
00:04:27 Like, where are you going?
00:04:29 What's this bag for?
00:04:30 Like, your bags are packed, but you got.
00:04:32 Nowhere to go.
00:04:33 Like you have to, you have to know like, where are you going?
00:04:36 That's the first thing you got to know.
00:04:38 Where are you going?
00:04:41 Because if you don't know where you're going, it's kind of pointless to have your bags packed, right.
00:04:45 Like, if you don't have a plane ticket, it's like what you just going to hang out in the the terminal?
00:04:49 Like, what's what's going on here, buddy?
00:04:53 Figure out first and foremost, where are you going and why are you going there?
00:04:56 Like is it better?
00:04:57 There than where you're at now.
00:05:00 Why is it better?
00:05:02 You know it because it better be worth because it's not going to be fun going there.
00:05:05 OK, if you're, if you're at the point where civilization has collapsed so much that you're using this magical backpack to get away.
00:05:13 It's not going to be a fun trip, OK?
00:05:15 It's it's.
00:05:16 It's not going to be an easy ride.
00:05:19 All right, so after you figure out.
00:05:22 Where you're going.
00:05:25 How you going to get there?
00:05:28 You gonna walk there?
00:05:31 You're going to drive there.
00:05:33 You're gonna ride a bike there.
00:05:37 OK, this is a lot of stuff people don't.
00:05:40 It's simple stuff people I know.
00:05:41 But it it's people don't think about.
00:05:44 Alright, so how are you going to get there?
00:05:46 And something you got to think about too is again, if society has crumbled so much that you're having to grab your your bug out bag, you think gas stations are open.
00:05:58 Like you have to use your backpack to like start a fire in the woods and you know you have, but you you can't, but you can still walk into a Circle K for some.
00:06:10 Reason that that's.
00:06:11 That's not how.
00:06:11 It works OK, so if the place that you're.
00:06:14 Bugging out to.
00:06:17 Is further than your gas tank.
00:06:19 Has gas for.
00:06:22 How you gonna get there?
00:06:25 You know, presumably you're going to have to walk a little bit of this, OK.
00:06:30 And I would even say I would go so far as to say, unless you've got more resources than I do and lots of people do, OK, that's not saying much.
00:06:41 Be prepared to.
00:06:42 Have to walk there.
00:06:43 Or at least a portion of it.
00:06:45 If everyone's trying to get a town and you know we've all seen the the zombie movies, right, where on the freeway?
00:06:51 It's just wall to wall, you know, bumper.
00:06:53 To bumper for.
00:06:54 Miles and miles and like the horde of.
00:06:56 Yeah, that that's obviously fiction, but stuff like that can.
00:07:00 If everyone's trying to get out of town, or maybe what if it's a lockdown, what if it's a situation where the reason you're getting out of town is?
00:07:07 They're not that you're not allowed to.
00:07:08 Leave town. OK, well, you.
00:07:10 Know whether there's because there's.
00:07:13 You know, like you can't just.
00:07:14 Be driving out of town, right?
00:07:17 So you're going to have to, or maybe you're going to be able to go for a while, but you run out.
00:07:22 Of gas prematurely because of the traffic, that's.
00:07:25 So bad getting out of town.
00:07:28 There's a million reasons why you're gonna probably end up on foot, at least for part of this, OK?
00:07:36 The other, the other thing and.
00:07:37 I kind of glossed over this.
00:07:40 This place that you're going to bug out to.
00:07:44 If it's so much better.
00:07:47 Then where you're at now.
00:07:49 Is there a reason you're not there now?
00:07:52 Is there a reason why you?
00:07:53 Don't just live there.
00:07:55 You know I.
00:07:56 Mean like if this this other location is going to be your salvation if things get.
00:08:04 I think they're already going.
00:08:05 They're kind of getting bad.
00:08:07 So is there a reason why you're not just, you know, why?
00:08:09 Why worry about the bug out bag?
00:08:10 Why not just go there now?
00:08:13 Like why not just already be there?
00:08:16 OK.
00:08:17 So that's another thing to think about, just going to throw that out there.
00:08:20 But even if you do that like I've already kind of done that, you still need to have another option.
00:08:26 You might as.
00:08:26 Well, like I think it's very unlikely that anything happens to me here, but it's not impossible.
00:08:33 And so I've got a secondary location.
00:08:37 So we'll talk about that secondary location.
00:08:42 In my case, I'm in the desert.
00:08:45 And without giving too much away, I'm going to have to go for my secondary location.
00:08:51 I would have to travel, presumably on foot.
00:08:55 For about approximately 5060 miles.
00:08:59 Through a desert that has very rocky, uneven, sometimes mountainous terrain with absolutely no water.
00:09:10 Like there's no rivers, there's no lakes.
00:09:14 There's ways of of trying to get water out of the desert, but it's pretty, you know, it's not very.
00:09:21 I mean, if you're trying to like, like dig up a hole in in the bottom of a wash, you know, to try to get some mud, you're ******.
00:09:29 You know at that point, you know?
00:09:30 You didn't.
00:09:31 Your your plan has already gone bad.
00:09:33 If you're trying to suck juice out of a cactus, which, by the way, that's.
00:09:38 Mostly in myth, there's only a couple of cactuses you can kind of do that with that ends up being not really that great that.
00:09:43 I mean that if you're doing that, you're.
00:09:45 You're just trying not to die.
00:09:47 OK, that's the level.
00:09:48 That's how far down you are on the on the.
00:09:52 The priorities list, like if you're Oh my God.
00:09:54 I guess it's time to cut open this cactus and suck it.
00:09:56 You know, like that's you're just trying to stay alive at that point.
00:10:00 That's not just.
00:10:01 I'm walking through the the desert to my new location and I'm going to just casually grab this cactus and Yum Yum, Yum.
00:10:08 No, that doesn't.
00:10:09 Not how it works.
00:10:11 So for my particular situation, my geography.
00:10:15 What I have to worry about is the lack of water.
00:10:20 And everyone has to think about this.
00:10:22 Like, let's talk about what?
00:10:23 What are some of the things?
00:10:24 You got to think about, well, you got to think about terrain, right?
00:10:27 Is there a giant mountain between you and Plan B?
00:10:31 Is there a a giant?
00:10:33 Is there an ocean you know is like, is there a?
00:10:35 Is there a like what?
00:10:37 Is it like you're have to look at a map?
00:10:40 And and you know, go to Google Maps or, you know, whatever maps.
00:10:44 Look at the satellite views.
00:10:47 And really look at it and say is.
00:10:49 There a way I could walk this?
00:10:52 Because here's the other.
00:10:53 Thing too, you're not going to want to be walking even though you're walking, you're going to be on the want to be on the main Rd.
00:10:59 You're going to have.
00:11:00 To look.
00:11:00 At you have to be too far off the road.
00:11:02 You can use the road as.
00:11:03 A guide, if that's what works for you.
00:11:05 But you're not going to be wanting to both like, you know, walking along the the.
00:11:09 Side of the.
00:11:10 You know, we'll get into invasion and stuff like that in a second, but.
00:11:13 Look at the satellite view.
00:11:15 Look at the terrain.
00:11:17 Look at the obstacles and.
00:11:19 Think about that.
00:11:21 Not just that, you know, not just think about it, but you know, ideally trained for it.
00:11:26 We'll get out of that.
00:11:27 In a.
00:11:27 Second too, the next thing I think.
00:11:29 About is is weather.
00:11:31 OK, so for me.
00:11:34 If something happened to where I had to do this 50 to 60 Mile Trek.
00:11:39 In like July.
00:11:42 That is way harder to actually accomplish than if I had to do that track in, say, November.
00:11:52 Because if I'm doing that trek in July, I'm going to be traveling through parts of the desert during the day.
00:11:59 Well, I'm probably not going to be traveling during the day, but like there's going to be parts of the desert during the day, they're getting close to. I mean, it's going to be north of 120 degrees.
00:12:09 And even at night, it's going to be, you know, sometimes the low is 90.
00:12:18 OK so.
00:12:21 Even if I'm traveling and this is what I would have to do for me personally and again, this is gonna be different for everybody.
00:12:27 But based on my geography.
00:12:29 If I'm having to make that trek in July, I'm going to be moving during the.
00:12:33 Night and then I'm going to just be trying to find shelter from the sun all day and cause for my big thing is going to be water, right?
00:12:41 I'm just going to be trying to conserve water as much as as as possible.
00:12:46 While I'm making this trek and so for me it's going to just be trying to stay cool trying to stay out of the sun and then moving at night when I can.
00:12:57 OK.
00:12:58 So weather is a big deal, you know, because if I do the same track in November, I don't have to do that, it's the weather is going to be.
00:13:05 Actually pretty nice in November and it it'll be, you know, you're you're not.
00:13:11 You'll use up a lot less water and it's not going to be it's not even going to get.
00:13:16 That cold at night.
00:13:17 Just yet, in November there might be a couple freak cold nights, but nothing too crazy.
00:13:21 But some of you might live somewhere up north where if you've got to move in January, that's like a life or death kind of a situation.
00:13:31 You know what's what's going to kill you in?
00:13:34 Where you are geographically, what?
00:13:39 Weather wise is going to and and remember this too.
00:13:42 If you can't stay dry, you can get hypothermia.
00:13:45 It can be 50 degrees outside, which isn't that cold.
00:13:49 But if you're getting rained on and you can't stay dry and.
00:13:51 Then night falls.
00:13:53 You can still get hypothermia in 50 degrees.
00:13:56 So you got to really think about.
00:13:59 With your bug out bag.
00:14:01 Tackling the weather issue for your location.
00:14:05 And the reason why you want to tailor all this.
00:14:07 Stuff and you're going to see this in a second to your location is if you just watch one of these videos where they they go over the bug out bag and put all this crap in and.
00:14:17 You're good to go.
00:14:18 You're gonna have a lot of stuff you don't need, which is going to wait.
00:14:21 Down and you're going to have a lot of stuff you're missing, which is going to maybe kill you.
00:14:26 So This is why it has to be tailored specifically.
00:14:29 It has to be a mission specific loadout that you've got in your bag. It's got to be tailored exactly. Can't. There is no one-size-fits-all. Bug out bag. You have to tailor it specifically.
00:14:42 To your situation.
00:14:44 So not only do you have to worry about, you know, geography, terrain or weather, you also have to think about animals.
00:14:53 You know, in my particular case, the animals I have to worry about are scorpions.
00:15:02 You know, those are the kind of things.
00:15:04 That are going to kill me.
00:15:05 And they can.
00:15:06 They can kill you.
00:15:07 Like, if you get bit by a rattlesnake and you're, you know, like in the middle.
00:15:11 Of the desert, there's a good.
00:15:14 You know, there's A at least 60%.
00:15:16 Chance they're going to die.
00:15:18 And they're all over the place.
00:15:20 And so when I sleep for example.
00:15:25 During the day, I'm going to have to keep that OK.
00:15:27 I'm going to have I.
00:15:28 Can't just put a A.
00:15:30 Sleeping bag under a rock.
00:15:33 You know, in some shade and then everything's going to be fine because I'm going to be, you know, the snakes and scorpions are.
00:15:41 Going to have.
00:15:41 Full access to me now.
00:15:42 A lot of these things, they don't come looking for you and and stuff like that.
00:15:45 But you're probably going to want.
00:15:47 In my case, I'm going to want some.
00:15:49 Kind of netting that keeps creepy crawlies off.
00:15:52 Of me while I'm trying to.
00:15:55 OK.
00:15:56 And at night when I'm traveling, especially if it's like in July, when these guys are out and about moving all over the place, that means I have to either have good night vision or some kind of lights.
00:16:11 Or because if you walk around and I do, I walk around in the desert at night, there's snakes and scorpions.
00:16:18 All over the place.
00:16:19 And all it takes is you step on one on accident, like if you're just trying to go by moon.
00:16:25 And and then in the in the desert, that's possible to do if you stick to trails.
00:16:28 But like, if you're just Trump, you know, stomping around through, like, weird terrain, these animals are built with camouflage.
00:16:36 They're built to blend into their surroundings.
00:16:39 And all it takes.
00:16:39 Is that, you know, not noticing a snake somewhere?
00:16:42 And Bam, you're dead.
00:16:44 It's going to be different for other people.
00:16:46 There's going to be some people, they've got Bobcats, they've got, you know, Cougars or bears or whatever, whatever you have, take again.
00:16:55 Take it.
00:16:56 The turret look at look at the terrain that you're going to have to go through to get to your second lock.
00:17:00 Nation and determine are there any animal dangers?
00:17:04 Are there any animals that are?
00:17:05 Or maybe it's ticks, you know, maybe it's some bug that's going to get on you.
00:17:10 If you're traveling through tall grass or something like that, maybe there's other snakes you know.
00:17:15 Others in the South, they've got copperheads, they've got, you know, there's lots of other kinds of rattlesnakes.
00:17:21 Lots of most.
00:17:22 Of North America has some kind of venomous something.
00:17:25 It could be any number of things, and so just you got to be prepared for that and don't try to rely like in the case of snakes.
00:17:33 Don't try to rely on those.
00:17:35 Oh, that's OK.
00:17:35 I've got one of.
00:17:36 Those snake venom.
00:17:37 Kits, you know where I can just tie it off with the tourniquet and then I can suction.
00:17:42 You know, the the snake bite out.
00:17:43 I'm going to be OK.
00:17:44 Those don't work.
00:17:46 Those 100% don't don't waste your money on them. I've wasted my money on them because I thought they worked. I did.
00:17:52 The research those those don't even.
00:17:54 That's not even how a snake venom travels through your body.
00:17:58 You're actually going to do more damage to yourself than good.
00:18:00 Those are complete garbage.
00:18:03 Maybe they're good for spider bites or something like that.
00:18:05 I doubt it, but they're definitely not good for snake bites, and I don't think for scorpion bites either.
00:18:13 So don't even bother with those.
00:18:16 So think about animals.
00:18:17 Think about animal dangers.
00:18:19 That are going to be between you and point B.
00:18:25 The other thing I got to think about is just the sheer distance.
00:18:30 Is that something?
00:18:30 You can do are you physically able.
00:18:33 To make that trip.
00:18:37 I mean, are you are if you're?
00:18:39 £100 overweight.
00:18:41 And you just sit in front of your computer all day playing video games. You really think you're going to be able to walk 100 miles or whatever it is that you, you know, you have to do. And some of you might have to do longer.
00:18:53 Holding carrying a a giant rucksack full of stuff.
00:18:58 That's not easy to do.
00:18:59 That is not easy to do.
00:19:02 And so that's that's and we'll get into that in a second.
00:19:06 That's another reason why.
00:19:08 You're going to have to train for this.
00:19:09 You gotta you can't just, you know, stick this magic backpack in, in the, in the closet, and then, oh, I'm good.
00:19:17 I'm good to go.
00:19:17 I'm going to.
00:19:18 Survive now because I've got this backpack.
00:19:21 Now the next thing you got to think about.
00:19:23 And this is.
00:19:25 The most important thing.
00:19:28 Is water and I'm not just saying that because I'm in the desert.
00:19:32 I know a lot of you might be in the desert.
00:19:35 There's a lot.
00:19:36 Of America. That's desert.
00:19:40 But water, you can go.
00:19:43 I mean, you can go like, easy a week without food.
00:19:46 You can't, I.
00:19:47 It's literally not that hard.
00:19:50 You can't go even a couple of days without water.
00:19:54 Especially if you're in in the desert and you know it's a.
00:19:57 Hotter climate.
00:19:57 But you can't.
00:19:58 You can't even.
00:19:59 Go a couple days without water.
00:20:04 If they're when you're plant, when you're looking at Google Maps and you're looking at, OK, I am have to.
00:20:09 I have to go from here to here.
00:20:11 Keep that in mind.
00:20:12 Keep that.
00:20:12 Keep in mind that if you can't plan a route.
00:20:17 That involves bodies of water that you can.
00:20:20 Fill up at.
00:20:21 And you have to understand that these.
00:20:23 Are this is?
00:20:23 A necessary checkpoint that you got to do when you're making that trek.
00:20:26 You got to realize that you know you have to make it to that river or that lake or that whatever you know to fill up, or you're you're going to die.
00:20:37 You have to.
00:20:39 Make sure that you have these fill up points and make sure you have you know the containers to to to accommodate that and now people say that you need about a gallon of water.
00:20:53 Every day.
00:20:56 Especially if you're walking like, you know, 20 miles a day or, you know, 10/10/20 miles a day that you need about a gallon of water a day now you might be able. Some people are going to get away with less.
00:21:08 And you you might.
00:21:09 Be able to get away with less.
00:21:11 If you ration it, it's not going to.
00:21:12 Be very fun, you'll.
00:21:14 Probably get dehydrated.
00:21:16 But you know, if this is an emergency situation and you know you end up having to drink like half a gallon a day, you could probably still make it.
00:21:25 There's people, in fact, that have been stranded in the Sahara desert, you know, which is like super hot and dry and they get away with just drinking, you know?
00:21:37 Like a cup of water because they're having to ration water.
00:21:40 A cup of water a day.
00:21:41 But they end up dying eventually.
00:21:43 But you can get away with.
00:21:44 That for a little while, but just keep.
00:21:46 In mind, ideally you want about a gallon of.
00:21:51 A day.
00:21:52 Now that sounds like a lot, and it is a lot for if you're just sitting around all day playing computer games or whatever.
00:22:00 But it's not, it's.
00:22:01 Literally not a lot when you're marching 10 miles and and I know from experience you can.
00:22:07 Get away with less.
00:22:08 You could probably get away with drinking like 2 quarts.
00:22:12 Like those military 2 quart canteens, you could drink 2 quarts a day.
00:22:18 Again, depending on how hot it is, how dry it is, that sort of a thing.
00:22:25 But water is going to be the most important thing.
00:22:29 So for me, my particular instance, I'm kind of screwed.
00:22:33 That means that a lot of my pack has to be water because there is no water.
00:22:39 So for 50 to 60 miles I have to carry all the water for that.
00:22:45 So if you think about it this way, if I'm going 10 miles a day, which is more than doable, and I could probably do, I'm training to do more than that.
00:22:53 But if I'm doing 10 miles a day and I have to have a gallon of water.
00:22:59 For every day.
00:23:01 We're looking at.
00:23:02 If it's 50 miles, I have to carry five, you know, 5 to 6 gallons of water.
00:23:08 That's heavy for those of you who don't know, that's a lot of weight.
00:23:13 I'm just going to look it up here real quick.
00:23:16 Gallon of water weight.
00:23:21 Yeah. So every gallon of water weighs 8.3 pounds.
00:23:28 8.3 pounds.
00:23:31 So if I'm having a carry.
00:23:33 5 gallons.
00:23:38 That's £41.
00:23:41 41 pounds of water. I'm going to.
00:23:43 Have to carry with me.
00:23:46 And that's no picnic.
00:23:48 That is no picnic.
00:23:50 You know that.
00:23:50 Means my pack has to weigh a.
00:23:52 Lot because I can't just be carrying water.
00:23:56 I think every other things too, and we'll get into those here in a second.
00:23:59 But I have to carry about 40 pounds of water.
00:24:02 If I'm going to make that track.
00:24:05 And I have to have a container that can.
00:24:08 Carry that. That I.
00:24:09 Can and I may have to have.
00:24:10 A rucksack sturdy enough.
00:24:12 To hold.
00:24:16 Probably it's going to be like a I have a 7 gallon container that.
00:24:22 You know, may may or may not fill up all the way.
00:24:24 Or maybe you could mix and match it like I've got the the three little 3 liter water bladders I've got, you know, different canteens.
00:24:32 So you could probably, you know, try to put some of it in your pack and some of it on your belt, some of it on the.
00:24:37 Front, you know, like you can mix it up a little bit.
00:24:40 But it's like I can change the fact that it weighs 41 pounds.
00:24:45 OK.
00:24:46 So that's something you got to think about is if there's not places that you.
00:24:50 Can fill up water.
00:24:55 You have to carry it and if even?
00:24:57 If there is.
00:24:59 You need to be able to purify that water.
00:25:01 You know, if there's a a river between you and and like a halfway point, let's say you're doing the same thing I'm doing, but there's a halfway point, right?
00:25:09 So you don't have to carry 6 gallons of, you can get away with three, so you can drop that £41.00 and drop it down to like 25, which is makes it way more manageable, right? And then you can fill up again at the halfway point.
00:25:22 There's this river.
00:25:23 OK, well, that's, that's cool and that works.
00:25:25 But you got to be able to filter.
00:25:26 That like a A.
00:25:28 You know 2.
00:25:29 And 1/2 or three gallons of water.
00:25:32 You know, you don't have to.
00:25:32 Have the ability to do that.
00:25:34 And so you're gonna either have to be able to heat it up, you know, have iodine tablets, you know, have some one of these filter systems, but you're going to have to have some way of purifying that water.
00:25:48 OK, so now that now that you understand those, those basic obstacles.
00:25:54 That can come in the.
00:25:56 The form of of your geography.
00:25:59 You need to plan the route.
00:26:02 Need to actually write it down like again either on Google Maps or something plan and that will give you a chance.
00:26:09 By the way, to actually measure it, you can do it in measurement between point A and point BA lot of times you know you might think Oh well if.
00:26:15 I drive there.
00:26:16 It's like 20 miles, right?
00:26:18 Well, it might be 20 miles.
00:26:19 If you drive there.
00:26:21 But it might be 30 miles if you have to walk there, because there's all this ****.
00:26:25 You got to walk around and or walk over and and whatever.
00:26:28 So while you're on Google.
00:26:30 You can go there, plot it all out.
00:26:33 And and try it out and once you have that figured out.
00:26:36 You have to ask yourself, are you physically fit enough to actually do that?
00:26:44 So that's the thing.
00:26:44 That I asked myself about a month.
00:26:46 Ago I was like.
00:26:48 Well, ****.
00:26:48 You know, if I have to go.
00:26:51 50 to 60 miles through the desert, carrying like 40 pounds of water, in addition to, like whatever else I gotta take with me, that this is not.
00:27:01 This is not a small thing.
00:27:02 OK?
00:27:04 Like we're talking potentially, I mean potentially like an 80 pound rucksack.
00:27:10 Right, if you count.
00:27:11 All of the stuff I'm going to bring in addition to.
00:27:13 The water.
00:27:15 Carrying an 80 pound rucksack either 10 miles a day for five days 20 miles a day, you know for three days.
00:27:26 But you know it's it's a lot of weight to be carrying.
00:27:30 Over uneven terrain and through sand and and through possibly really hot weather.
00:27:36 So in your situation it might be totally different.
00:27:39 It might be you might have snow to contest with.
00:27:42 You might have rain or mud or or like I said, there might be rivers that you have to somehow be able to cross because you can't cross with the bridges for some reason.
00:27:55 So you have to think about, you know, are you physically even going to be like, take everything else away?
00:28:02 Can you physically even make the trek?
00:28:05 And before you do anything else, I would try without even a rucksack on try to actually hike it.
00:28:11 Try to hike it.
00:28:13 Try to hike.
00:28:14 That route, if it's not totally insane and you know if if not hike that route, hike a good portion of it so you get a taste of like, what's this going to be like?
00:28:24 What's this going to be like?
00:28:26 Because that's what I ended up doing is I.
00:28:28 Was like, look, I don't know if I.
00:28:29 Could do this.
00:28:30 So the first time I I I tried it, I did.
00:28:33 I tried.
00:28:34 You know, I'm going to go just five miles to the.
00:28:36 Desert without anything, right?
00:28:38 And it's not a big deal, but like, I'm going to actually go uneven terrain, see what kind of things that I'm not thinking about, right, like what?
00:28:46 By having to just travel 5 miles to the desert, is this, you know?
00:28:49 Is there something weird?
00:28:51 I'm not thinking of.
00:28:53 And then after I did that, I was like, OK, this worked out, you know, fine.
00:28:58 I'm going to pack, I'm going to pack it up with, you know, say, 20 pounds.
00:29:02 And I'm going to, you know, now this time I'm going to do, you know, 6 or 7 miles, and then I'm going to do 8 miles and, you know, and so on.
00:29:09 And I did.
00:29:12 Night before or I guess, two nights ago I did.
00:29:18 About a little over 8 miles.
00:29:21 With about a £50 rucksack, so that's what I've I've built up to last night. I did about 9:00 or 10 miles with no, because I was just, you know, my shoulders and.
00:29:33 My feet were killing me.
00:29:34 So I still like, yeah, I'm trying to train and get up to this.
00:29:37 You know, I gotta beast mode my way up to.
00:29:38 Being able to.
00:29:39 At least do at least be able to do the 20 miles.
00:29:42 With like an 80 pound rock sack and have it not be a big deal.
00:29:47 So that's that's what I'm working up to.
00:29:50 It might be totally different for you.
00:29:51 You know, you might have to think about other things.
00:29:54 So actually try to do a portion of this.
00:30:00 And think about what you know, what are the kind of challenges that you're, you know, that I'm going to you're going to come up with for me?
00:30:07 Like I said, the the big ones going to be water.
00:30:09 And that also, by the way, gives me a taste of like, well, do I really need that much water?
00:30:15 How much water am I consuming when I'm doing like these?
00:30:18 Practice runs right because I I am and I'm drinking a lot of water.
00:30:22 I'm drinking way more than I actually thought cause when I first thought about it, I was like a gallon of.
00:30:26 Water and it sounds like.
00:30:27 A lot.
00:30:28 It really.
00:30:28 It really isn't.
00:30:30 You know, like I said, I think I can probably get away with less, but it's not.
00:30:35 It's not like a gallon.
00:30:36 Is this this crazy number that I?
00:30:38 Thought it was.
00:30:40 The other thing you got to think about too.
00:30:41 With this, if you're not just a lone wolf.
00:30:45 Can the rest of your party do?
00:30:48 Are they physically fit enough?
00:30:50 I mean, are you gonna be traveling with other people?
00:30:52 Are you gonna?
00:30:53 Be traveling with with family members.
00:30:55 Are you gonna be traveling with a girlfriend?
00:30:57 A wife?
00:30:59 I mean are.
00:31:00 They going to be able to do the trip.
00:31:02 You know what?
00:31:03 Maybe you're physically fit enough to do this, but if you've got like a 5 year old with you.
00:31:07 How's that going to work?
00:31:09 Who's going to carry the water for them?
00:31:12 You see that there's a whole lot of stuff you.
00:31:14 Got to start.
00:31:14 Thinking about this, this isn't just by the magical backpack and stick it in your in your closet.
00:31:20 The other thing to think about is communications.
00:31:22 I know I go over this a lot.
00:31:23 The ham radio stuff, but it doesn't even have to be two way communications.
00:31:28 If you're on the.
00:31:29 Run and you're there.
00:31:31 Could be any number of reasons why you're doing this trek.
00:31:34 You know, it could be a pandemic.
00:31:37 It could be a war.
00:31:38 It could be anything.
00:31:39 You know it could.
00:31:40 Just be uh.
00:31:42 Civil unrest or whatever, but it's going to be useful to have information, right?
00:31:47 So you're going to need to have some kind of communication system one way, ideally 2 way.
00:31:55 In your pack, because of the communications and for other things, we're going talk about.
00:32:00 You also need power.
00:32:02 And this stuff is going to get heavy real fast.
00:32:04 This is what I'm talking about.
00:32:05 Your rucksacks gonna get really heavy.
00:32:07 So if you you know if if you depend on how far this track is.
00:32:12 In my case, like I said, it's going to be like 5 or 6 days.
00:32:15 I'm going to have devices that run out of power in that.
00:32:19 So I have to think of ways now for me that's going to be solar and I'm going to just have to ration my power.
00:32:26 I can't have, you know, like a.
00:32:29 40 inch TV with me.
00:32:30 Or or whatever like I got.
00:32:32 To have the.
00:32:34 I guess 40 inches.
00:32:35 In that big these days, right, like I.
00:32:36 Can't have my 160.
00:32:38 Inch TV with me.
00:32:40 I I'm only gonna be able to.
00:32:41 Power a couple of devices.
00:32:43 So I have to think about, well, what devices are there.
00:32:46 Excuse me that I'm going to.
00:32:48 And that's going to be communication, navigation and light, right?
00:32:54 So I'm going to have to be able to.
00:32:56 Power a radio.
00:32:58 Which only is using power when you're using it.
00:33:00 So for me that battery is probably going to last.
00:33:04 You know, the battery and the radio is probably going to last me the whole.
00:33:06 Trip so I don't have to worry so much about that.
00:33:10 Now some people get like a proprietary GPS.
00:33:14 You know, one of these garmins or whatever these handheld.
00:33:17 Devices that are made just for GPS, but honestly, there's no reason why.
00:33:22 Well, there might be reasons why you might not want to use your phone.
00:33:24 I guess in retrospect, but you can.
00:33:26 Use a phone for GPS, especially if you have an app where you download the the maps prior to going on your trip, so you can shut off the cellular service stuff.
00:33:37 And it will still work.
00:33:39 Or if you just go out of range or you know for whatever reason, you don't have the cellular service.
00:33:44 You'll still have the maps and the GPS part of the phone is still going to work.
00:33:48 In fact, you could even get like an old phone that doesn't even have a SIM card in it.
00:33:52 And on Wi-Fi, download the maps to it.
00:33:54 The battery is good on the phone.
00:33:56 You can use that phone like this old ***** ** **** phone as your GPS.
00:34:00 There's no.
00:34:00 Reason to do?
00:34:01 That there's really there's there's not that there's.
00:34:03 No reason to get these.
00:34:05 These proprieties at least that I know of to get like these garments, these, Magellan's or whatever who makes them now.
00:34:10 GPS is when you can just use an old crappy phone that you know, like getting get your old iPhone or Android that you don't use anymore.
00:34:17 That's in a drawer.
00:34:18 The battery still works.
00:34:19 Fine. And then just know.
00:34:20 You'll need to be able to recharge that based.
00:34:23 On how long?
00:34:24 How many days it has to last because?
00:34:25 GPS does suck a lot of power out.
00:34:27 Of these things.
00:34:29 And then you've got lights.
00:34:31 You know, for me, I've got.
00:34:33 I wear a headlamp when I'm going walking around at night, and then I've got a spare flashlight that I keep with me.
00:34:41 So if the battery goes dead or if it breaks or whatever, and I I'll also keep like a spare headlamp headlamp in my in my sack.
00:34:49 So if whatever reason I.
00:34:51 But I need to be able to recharge those.
00:34:54 So for me, and for most people and something like this, you can get a very lightweight solar generator with a couple of panels that during the day we'll we'll charge up a couple things because that's.
00:35:06 All it has to do.
00:35:07 It has to be able to charge up, you know, your your, your light and a lot of these headlamps and even flashlights.
00:35:13 Now you can just directly hook up to like a USB connection.
00:35:17 And so you can directly charge right off of a little, you know, 20 Watt solar.
00:35:24 Panel and that's for me, especially because I'm in a place that has a lot of sun now.
00:35:29 That might be something you have to think about.
00:35:31 OK, well, I'm in a place in the winter and there's clouds all the, you know, it's snowing, that you're not going to be able to charge off solar if you're in a in a snowstorm or something like that.
00:35:40 You're just not to be able to do it.
00:35:41 You're going to have to ration your power.
00:35:43 Or bring a.
00:35:43 Lot of batteries or think about that like you'll have to use devices that use replaceable.
00:35:47 Batteries like OK, I can't recharge the batteries and these flashlights. So I gotta bring a bunch of AA's with me or whatever.
00:35:54 So that's the kind of thing that you're going to have to think about.
00:35:58 I see a lot of people too.
00:35:59 With these uh, these bug out bags, these you know.
00:36:07 The **** hits the fan bags.
00:36:09 They like to show off like, oh, I've got this fancy fire maker, you know?
00:36:13 This ferrite rod that I I.
00:36:16 Rubbed this metal and I just keep thinking myself.
00:36:19 Do you not know what a lighter is?
00:36:21 There's no reason.
00:36:23 And look, it's fine to have.
00:36:24 That as a backup, I got one as a backup, right?
00:36:26 It's always gonna work, but I've been camping a million times in my life and I've never had a situation where a lighter didn't work.
00:36:35 I've never been like, oh, damn it, it's too cold.
00:36:38 For the lighter.
00:36:39 You know, you got to keep them dry, but even if you don't keep them dry.
00:36:41 It's not that hard to dry them off.
00:36:43 I've I've got wet.
00:36:44 I've had.
00:36:44 Lighters go through a washing machine.
00:36:47 And they still work.
00:36:48 OK and they're so cheap.
00:36:51 Just buy, like a billion lighters and they're lightweight.
00:36:54 Just stick them, like, have, like, you know, four or five of them in different parts of your pack.
00:36:58 And again, you can have the back up ferrite rod or whatever the hell else you know.
00:37:02 Stupid thing that people.
00:37:04 Try to like look at.
00:37:05 My fancy fire maker just.
00:37:07 Use a damn lighter.
00:37:08 Like if you need to have fire, use a damn lighter.
00:37:11 There's no reason to not use a lighter.
00:37:14 Now kindling that.
00:37:15 That makes a little more sense.
00:37:17 Really easy to do.
00:37:18 All you gotta do is have, like Vaseline, you know, go get some Vaseline.
00:37:22 Get some cotton balls.
00:37:24 And rub the Vaseline on the cotton balls and stick a bunch of those Vaseline coated cotton balls into a zip lock bag.
00:37:31 You've got kindling that'll light under any circumstances and get a fire going.
00:37:35 And it's it and it's super lightweight obviously.
00:37:38 It's cotton balls.
00:37:39 And so that's all you need for fire.
00:37:42 But you also got to.
00:37:43 Think about like.
00:37:44 Only light a fire if it's necessary because a fire A is going to give away your location, not just because of the the actual visible flames, but you can smell fire.
00:37:57 You know you can smell fire and if you know, especially if you're trying to be stealth, right, like you're trying to travel through people's property and you know, stuff like that.
00:38:07 If you're walking through someones ranch and you're camped out and they don't know that you're there and.
00:38:11 You start a.
00:38:11 Little fire.
00:38:13 They might come looking for.
00:38:14 You know, they don't want their property burning down.
00:38:16 They might be coming looking for.
00:38:17 The source of that smell?
00:38:18 They might smell a fire like I've been out in the desert and I smell fire and I start.
00:38:21 To get nervous, I'm like, is there a brush fire?
00:38:24 Which is another thing got to worry about.
00:38:26 You know, you don't want to start a.
00:38:27 Forest fire or a?
00:38:28 Brush, fire or whatever.
00:38:29 You know, not only because you.
00:38:30 Don't want to, you know, do damage to the environment and people's property.
00:38:35 Or whatever.
00:38:35 But because you you could die.
00:38:37 So you got to be very, very careful about having fire.
00:38:42 You got to make sure you got the Boy Scout thing.
00:38:44 You got to make sure you.
00:38:45 Put the fire completely out.
00:38:47 You know, just because there's no flames coming out of the.
00:38:51 The embers doesn't mean the fire is out.
00:38:53 You got to dump water on it if you have.
00:38:55 It you know.
00:38:55 But in most cases, you're going to have you got to bury that ****.
00:38:59 But even if you bury it, it can keep going underground, especially if it's like the floor of a forest.
00:39:03 And it's like that.
00:39:05 Mulchy, you know, forest floor.
00:39:08 That's like pine needles and leaves and **** like that from 50 years.
00:39:12 You gotta you gotta be careful about how you do this.
00:39:14 You got to.
00:39:14 Make sure you're not burning down.
00:39:17 Everything around you.
00:39:18 The other thing you got to.
00:39:19 Worry about is Intel.
00:39:23 Now by Intel I just mean if you.
00:39:26 Are like I said, if you.
00:39:28 Are if you're with a backpack trying to get to your your Plan B location, you know sneaking around through the desert or through the through the woods or whatever, chances are there's you're afraid of something.
00:39:42 There's, I don't.
00:39:42 Know what it is.
00:39:43 But there's something. There's something.
00:39:45 That, that, that poses a threat to you.
00:39:47 That's why you're sneaking around in the forest or in the desert, trying to get to.
00:39:50 Plan B. So it's a.
00:39:52 Good idea to have at least some cheap binoculars.
00:39:57 They're really cheap and so have have some cheap binoculars so that when you get to like a a higher you know some high ground where you actually have some distance that you can check out.
00:40:08 You can look ahead.
00:40:09 You can look ahead for threats.
00:40:10 Maybe if you're going along a road, right, like you're using the road kind of as a guide and you get to like a hill and you can look a couple miles.
00:40:18 Down the road and you see.
00:40:19 Oh, look, there's like a checkpoint or whatever, you know, like maybe I gotta go further away from the road in that area or or, you know, who knows?
00:40:27 But you got to have some kind of cheap optics, some kind of binoculars.
00:40:32 You also have to think about evasion.
00:40:36 Because again, if you're, if you're worried about something, you're worried about something finding you.
00:40:42 And you're walking around with a a bright orange bug out bag.
00:40:47 Like I've seen some of these bug out bags and you're.
00:40:49 Just like, why?
00:40:51 Why don't why don't you just put?
00:40:52 Like a glow in.
00:40:52 The dark target on your back?
00:40:54 So if you're using a bug out bag, you.
00:40:57 Probably don't want to be seen.
00:41:00 You know you.
00:41:01 Probably want to evade and sometimes by the way, this doesn't mean that there's.
00:41:05 Drones hunting you down or that this is they have.
00:41:07 There's law enforcement or zombies or something like that, hunting you down.
00:41:12 This just means that you need to have.
00:41:18 This means that you don't want like like let's think of other people who aren't prepared, right?
00:41:22 You don't want anyone to see.
00:41:24 You don't want the the farmer who owns the land that you're traveling through to see you.
00:41:29 You don't want the guy who's also trying to get to his Plan B, but you know, didn't Pak correctly doesn't have the right stuff.
00:41:37 You don't want to be seen, so you have to think about that.
00:41:41 Whether it's, you know, having and this, which actually this will lead me to what I ended up do.
00:41:45 I'll just tell you what I did.
00:41:47 So for my solution, I've always been a big fan of military surplus stuff, especially the newer stuff that's been used.
00:41:56 You know that uses the lighter weight materials.
00:41:59 When I was younger I was never a fan of like.
00:42:01 I mean it looked cool like the old Vietnam stuff or the Old World War 2 stuff.
00:42:05 You know the thick.
00:42:07 All of drab.
00:42:08 Canvas stuff because it was indestructible.
00:42:11 It was.
00:42:11 You know really well built or.
00:42:13 But try hiking 5 or 6 miles with that ****.
00:42:17 You know, like, even just like the mess kids stuff like.
00:42:20 Yeah, it's really great stainless steel and.
00:42:22 Really heavy duty.
00:42:22 In the last you know it has lasted, you know already.
00:42:25 It was my grandpas or my dads or whatever.
00:42:27 It's lasted forever and that stuff still around.
00:42:30 People still have that.
00:42:31 Stuff, but it weighs a ton.
00:42:33 Right. Well, the newer stuff.
00:42:35 That uses the.
00:42:36 The synthetic fibers and stuff like that, you know, it is actually pretty affordable.
00:42:42 And you can get like a Molly rucksack using the old digital camo that they're phasing out.
00:42:51 It's called UCP although.
00:42:54 Most people incorrectly call it ACU, but if.
00:42:57 You go on eBay.
00:42:59 Or if you just look on, there's a lot of surplus sites.
00:43:02 There's surplus army surplus stores in most towns that you can go to, and you can pick up some of the, you know, some of this stuff and it doesn't have for my environment.
00:43:13 And this is the other thing too.
00:43:14 You have to pick if you're going to get.
00:43:16 Old Army surplus.
00:43:18 It's better to get camouflage patterns.
00:43:22 They're going to work for your specific area.
00:43:27 Now a lot of people.
00:43:27 Get a lot of people don't like the UCP digital camo stuff.
00:43:34 The stuff that they've been using like in Afghanistan and you know the the, you know, talking about like the sage Gray green looking stuff.
00:43:43 And it's because it doesn't work very well, especially compared to other camouflage.
00:43:48 Patterns in like a forest.
00:43:50 You know, if you're going to be.
00:43:51 Traveling through a forest.
00:43:53 Yeah, there are better camouflage patterns.
00:43:56 You know, there is the the forest patterns that they that you know the when you think of camouflage the very classic green, black, brown, blotchy pattern that you know that has been the pattern in America and and you know is the fashionable pattern to have.
00:44:11 Since I think World War 2 is when I started developing that stuff woodland, I think it's called Woodland Camo.
00:44:18 That stuff.
00:44:19 First of all, it's.
00:44:21 Because it's not.
00:44:22 The cool new.
00:44:23 Pattern, right?
00:44:25 So if you live in a forest area, you can get woodland camo stuff.
00:44:29 You can get the new camo which is called OCP, or Multicam or Scorpion, or there's a couple.
00:44:37 Of other names.
00:44:39 And that looks like it would probably work actually.
00:44:43 In the desert.
00:44:44 But it's the new uniform.
00:44:47 It's the new.
00:44:47 It's like it's kind of like woodland camo, but it's got more tans and lighter colors in it, and it seems to work pretty well my stuff because of the price point, because of how cheap the digital camo stuffs is and because it actually works really well.
00:45:04 In the American Southwest, and like in Nevada and in all the deserts in America, it actually works pretty well and it's cheap.
00:45:15 So that's what I decided to go with.
00:45:16 I was like, you know what, I'm just going to get.
00:45:18 All of my stuff in this digital camo stuff and.
00:45:24 And if I ever have to move for some reason, then I'll know that.
00:45:28 OK, I got to switch to, like a woodland camo or multi Cam or something like that.
00:45:33 But for what?
00:45:34 For my situation, that's what works for your situation.
00:45:38 You might need.
00:45:38 Snow Camo, I don't know.
00:45:40 You know, if you're in some kind of snow, if you're in the Arctic or if you're in Alaska or something like that.
00:45:46 These are all things you gotta.
00:45:47 Think about, but you wanna dress.
00:45:50 Appropriately, you want to have your pack be a color that's going to blend in, and So what I ended up doing is I got the large.
00:45:59 Molly rucksack in UCP and it's a big.
00:46:05 I don't know.
00:46:05 How many liters it?
00:46:06 Is, but it's a big sturdy.
00:46:09 Rucksack and it was cheap.
00:46:11 It was like 50 bucks.
00:46:13 And this thing will last the rest of.
00:46:15 My life easy.
00:46:17 And so you can get one of those off eBay or or there's any number of websites you can find.
00:46:24 And then you can get matching gear.
00:46:25 You can get like a tent.
00:46:27 You know, they've got tents that have that same camouflage pattern.
00:46:31 You know, if you're going with woodland camera like I said, Woodland Camo is usually pretty cheap and you can find all kinds of stuff for woodland.
00:46:39 You can find the same thing with multi Cam the newer camo but just try to be consistent too.
00:46:47 I think that you know, because you something I understand.
00:46:50 One of the purposes of camouflage, right is you're trying to break up from a distance.
00:46:55 Like there's no camouflage where you're going to put it on and people are going to walk right by you.
00:46:59 Like, oh, I didn't see you like that.
00:47:01 That's not going to happen.
00:47:02 All right?
00:47:02 It's not magic.
00:47:04 What it's made for is from a distance it breaks up your body shape.
00:47:10 Because the human mind can recognize the silhouette of a person really easily.
00:47:17 And you know, we've evolved to recognize silhouettes.
00:47:21 I mean, just think about it like there's not a person in the.
00:47:24 World that looks at a bathroom sign like the the guy that's on the bathroom sign that doesn't know what that is, like automatically.
00:47:31 Like babies.
00:47:32 Look at that and know what that is.
00:47:34 You know the reason why little kids instinctively know what cartoon characters are, even though it's not real people.
00:47:40 It's just like symbols.
00:47:41 And colors and lines and contrast because they their brain picks up on.
00:47:47 Oh, that's that's shaped like a person.
00:47:49 Even though, like the cartoon is wildly, you know, disproportionate from a real human, it's, you know, they they pick up on the shape of the human body and and they recognize that as, oh, that's a person.
00:48:00 There's the eyes.
00:48:00 That's the mouth.
00:48:01 Even though that's nothing.
00:48:02 Like what?
00:48:03 Eyes and mouth look like.
00:48:04 Your brain is wired to see this, so all camouflage is designed to do is to break up that shape.
00:48:12 So if you start mixing and matching different kinds of camouflages, so if you've got like, your rucksack is one kind of camouflage and your pants are another and your you know your shirt is another and.
00:48:24 You know your hats and other or whatever you're creating distinct lines in your shape, whereas if you're everything you're wearing is all the same pattern you're it's more likely that you'll just it'll blend together as one BLOB from a distance.
00:48:43 Because what ends up happening too, when you go far enough away especially.
00:48:46 With like this digital.
00:48:47 Camo. It's not like from 200 yards, you can actually see those little dots, right?
00:48:54 And and at a certain distance, the brain kind of blends in all those little dots as like a a color.
00:49:03 You know, it's like if you were to average like in Photoshop, zoom into an image with all these pixels and then just get the average of all the different pixels you know and get like some blend of all those cold.
00:49:15 And that's what it looks like when you go far enough away.
00:49:18 You know, it's kind of like a painting.
00:49:20 If you look at a painting really close up, you're going to.
00:49:22 See all these?
00:49:22 Individual brush strokes, but from a distance.
00:49:28 It looks like a photo.
00:49:29 Some of these paintings, you know that are very, very realistic.
00:49:32 You don't see any of the those brush strokes at all, all kind your brain kind of.
00:49:35 Just puts it all together, right?
00:49:37 Well, camouflage is kind of trying to do.
00:49:38 The opposite, you know where you know.
00:49:41 Up close, you see all these little lines, these dots or whatever.
00:49:44 These these little shapes.
00:49:46 But from a distance it kind of.
00:49:47 Just creates this.
00:49:49 Blur that you're not.
00:49:51 You know that your brain can't put together.
00:49:53 So if those blurs are different colors, so your leg is 1 color of the blur, and your torsos and other and your heads another, the brain is going to be able to be able to pick that up and be like, oh, that's like, that's a person.
00:50:04 And so you want to.
00:50:05 Try to go with one.
00:50:07 Pattern for all of your stuff is what I'm getting at, and hopefully that makes.
00:50:11 Sense now, another thing I think about, and this is for like what we talked about earlier.
00:50:18 With, you know.
00:50:19 If you're driving to this location, this location B and you, you're going to run out of gas because there's no gas station or you're walking.
00:50:28 Location B and you're going to run out of water because.
00:50:31 There's no water, OK?
00:50:32 Well, one option to think about.
00:50:35 That doesn't involve you carrying an 80 pound rucksack like what?
00:50:41 Like what I'm talking about.
00:50:43 Is you can have a a stash.
00:50:47 You can.
00:50:47 You can find a place you can, especially after you've walked your route to try it out.
00:50:53 And no.
00:50:54 OK, well this is about where I'm going to run out of water, and it's also a nice place where there's no one around.
00:51:00 I could easily dig a hole here, bury some cans of water, bury some cans of gas, bury some guns, bury some ammunition.
00:51:08 This is a place I can stash. I can have a cache of stuff here and that's going to Makemytrip a whole lot easier.
00:51:18 So that is something that I if you.
00:51:20 Have the ability to do.
00:51:21 That, and by the way, I'm not saying you have to own the land that you're doing this on you.
00:51:25 I mean.
00:51:26 I'm just like, you know, don't forget where that's at.
00:51:29 Make sure you have the GPS coordinates and make sure you hide it well enough to where you need those GPS coordinates.
00:51:35 To find it.
00:51:37 But that's that's definitely a.
00:51:38 Strategy that you can.
00:51:39 Take you know why carry all this stuff if you have the ability to actually stash this stuff, or if you're in a vehicle, this might, you know, make it so that you're able to stay in that vehicle longer.
00:51:51 You know, maybe you have the ability.
00:51:54 To maybe there's like a rest stop.
00:51:57 You know, 200 miles out of town.
00:52:00 Right about when you should probably be getting more gas.
00:52:03 There's this rest stop in the middle of nowhere and you can bury a couple Jerry cans full of gas.
00:52:10 Out in the back now.
00:52:11 Now, the reason why this is a little less practical for gas is gas goes bad.
00:52:16 So you have there's a ticking clock on that. This is the kind of thing you'd almost have to have some foreknowledge of when the shift's going to happen, and maybe you will. You know, maybe you, you'll you'll have the ability to know at least roughly when it's going to happen. Or maybe you're autistic enough to where you'll go out and change out the bad gas every. I don't know how long it lasts. It's not very long, though. That's The thing is.
00:52:36 I think it would be like a year, tops, that you'd get out of that like you need to use.
00:52:40 That gas.
00:52:40 Up pretty quick, so maybe it's it's something like that where you know you could do that.
00:52:45 But certainly with water.
00:52:47 Water will last forever.
00:52:50 You know, as long as you pack it and seal it, you know, weatherproof it and put it underground and where, you know, critters and weather and water isn't going to.
00:52:57 Get into it.
00:52:59 And there's lots of ways of doing that pretty easily.
00:53:03 So water it's very practical to do this ammunition.
00:53:06 It's really very practical to do this guns.
00:53:08 It's really practical to do that.
00:53:09 Do this even.
00:53:10 With food, it's very practical to do this, so having a stash somewhere between you and plant, and you know in location B.
00:53:20 Or several stashes, depending on how far you have to go. That might be the way to go. That might solve some of these problems we've talked about about having to haul £1,000,000 with you on foot.
00:53:33 But again, you're going to still have to walk that that trail you're going to have to walk that route.
00:53:37 You're going to have to know, OK, is it even practical for me to to plant something here?
00:53:42 You're going to have to know that location.
00:53:45 So you know, either way you're going to have to.
00:53:48 You're not going to get away from having to to walk that, which is what I'm going to do.
00:53:52 The reason why I'm trying to do is I'm literally going to do that.
00:53:54 I'm going to do my 50 to 60.
00:53:56 Mile walk to location B with a rucksack and.
00:54:02 And you know, hopefully not die.
00:54:05 So I I think I'll be fine.
00:54:07 I just want to make it to where it's is.
00:54:09 I don't want it to be like this big deal, so I'm trying to get.
00:54:11 In shape for it as much.
00:54:12 As possible before.
00:54:13 I I go and do it.
00:54:16 Speaking of of evasion.
00:54:21 And this is kind of.
00:54:21 A pie in the sky.
00:54:23 Kind of a thing.
00:54:24 This isn't too necessary.
00:54:26 It might be something that you could pack into one of these stashes, actually, but a lot of people I've noticed when you talk about one of these scenarios, they always talk about like, oh, yeah, well, good luck with that because you know the.
00:54:40 The government, they've got drones and all they have to do is put drones up in the sky and they'll be able to.
00:54:46 Drone you because?
00:54:47 They can see your heat signature or.
00:54:50 And they've got thermal, you know, so it's it's real easy for them to find.
00:54:55 And so.
00:55:00 Let's see, here is my thing frozen up.
00:55:03 I think this might be.
00:55:04 Frozen up.
00:55:07 Hopefully it's not frozen up.
00:55:08 Hopefully it works on the replay.
00:55:10 If it's frozen up, it looks kind of frozen up.
00:55:13 I'm so I'm just looking at some comments now here.
00:55:16 Yeah, I am in better shape than Carl, but I'm not in Terra.
00:55:21 I'm not in great shape at all.
00:55:24 Doing this training has been real.
00:55:28 I've been getting in much better shape because of the training.
00:55:31 I've dropped quite a few pounds, so I got quite a few to go and I'm I just, you know, I just feel a lot better and you know my my legs are getting, my calves are getting.
00:55:40 All ******* ripped or.
00:55:42 I'm getting all.
00:55:43 I gotta work my shoulders up.
00:55:45 Apparently I gotta start working my upper body, which is something I don't typically.
00:55:50 I mean, I do manual labor around the place, but I.
00:55:53 Don't it's I don't.
00:55:53 I don't lift and that's probably something I should.
00:55:56 Be doing OK so here.
00:56:00 There we go.
00:56:02 The next thing you know I was talking about thermal protection with the drones.
00:56:06 So if you've got drones looking for you the way that they spot you is the thermal stuff, right?
00:56:12 That is defeatable.
00:56:14 It's actually fairly easily defeatable.
00:56:18 Not convenient, but it is fairly easy to do.
00:56:22 Now I'll give you the short version of how to do it, and you can play around.
00:56:25 And try to do.
00:56:26 This stuff at home because it's cheap to do it.
00:56:29 You could essentially the way.
00:56:31 That you do it is.
00:56:33 You you could have there.
00:56:35 There's something called radiant barrier.
00:56:36 Here it's basically just like mylar, like those emergency blankets.
00:56:41 The the shiny surfaces.
00:56:44 Now the drones can't see through that stuff because it reflects heat.
00:56:49 But it's not enough to just put a space blanket on and then think that you're going to be fine, because eventually you will heat up the space blanket and eventually you will create a heat.
00:57:01 Now the way to get around it is you insulate yourself so you have one layer, the inner layer of your of this, either it's a blanket.
00:57:09 That you could.
00:57:09 Make or like a Gilly suit you could make, but you have to make some kind of barrier.
00:57:14 That would be like this, where the first layer, the layer closest to you, is this mylar stuff.
00:57:20 Or radiant barrier.
00:57:21 You can get radiant barrier.
00:57:22 In fact you can get rolls of.
00:57:23 Radiant barrier that.
00:57:24 Have a little bit of insulation on them.
00:57:26 Which would be even better, but this will reflect your body heat back to you now.
00:57:31 The drawback of that is of course, if it's in the summary, this could pose some problems, but the next layer is you want a layer of insulation.
00:57:39 It doesn't have to be super thick, it just has to be, you know, a little kind of thick enough like I'd say.
00:57:46 You could even go with like something that's like 1/2 inch thick.
00:57:52 1/2 inch thick of actual insulation though, like not like the bubble wrap type stuff.
00:57:59 The next layer is going to have to be another layer of radiant barrier and that will again reflect the the heat around it back up.
00:58:09 So if your drones, looking down if you're under a blanket that's radiant barrier insulation, radiant barrier that drones not going to.
00:58:15 See you at all.
00:58:16 It's just not.
00:58:16 Going to see you at all now, it will see a big.
00:58:19 Shiny thing, so visually it's not good, right?
00:58:23 Because you're now you're just this giant mirror in in the in the forest or desert or wherever.
00:58:29 So the way that you get around that is you can then coat it with camouflage netting.
00:58:35 You know, a lot of hunters use camouflage netting.
00:58:39 The military uses camouflage netting.
00:58:41 You can find really cheap camouflage netting online by the roll you can buy like massive amounts of it, so you could potentially.
00:58:49 Make a suit like a gillie suit, using the components I've just described and you can look around on YouTube.
00:58:56 There's people that have made things like that.
00:58:59 There's people I think that sell premade ones, but there's ways of defeating that.
00:59:03 So that's just, that's not something that most people are going to bother with, but.
00:59:06 I'm just throwing it out there.
00:59:08 That there is a way.
00:59:09 To defeat that.
00:59:11 If you're, if you're trying to evade even drones, there is a way to defeat that.
00:59:17 OK, so Next up is weapons, right?
00:59:21 A lot of people think, OK, well, I'm just going to go grab my.
00:59:26 I'm going to grab my.
00:59:28 My bug out bag and I'm going to grab my AR and I'm going to walk 50 miles.
00:59:35 OK. Well, it's one thing like it sucks. It sucks to have a rock sack that's like 50-60 or plus pounds and going 50 miles.
00:59:43 But it sucks even more if you've got a gun strapped to the front of you, like first of all, that doesn't weigh nothing.
00:59:49 And you know, if are you gonna be carrying it the whole way?
00:59:53 Do you have a strap for it?
00:59:54 You're gonna have to get a strap for it.
00:59:56 You have to get a strap for it.
00:59:57 That's convenient.
00:59:58 You know, and you have to be out and you have to practice moving around with it and you're gonna figure out what kind you know there's.
01:00:04 There's the two point 3.1 point I have a.
01:00:07 Viewpoint and that you know everyone likes something a little bit different, right?
01:00:13 But is it even worth, you know, is is it going to be worth it to have a rifle?
01:00:17 Do you need a rifle?
01:00:18 You know what's what's the scenario?
01:00:21 Do you need a full blown rifle to to to make this trip that you're going to do?
01:00:25 Is it better maybe to.
01:00:26 Have the rifles.
01:00:27 At the place you're going and all you have is a pistol.
01:00:30 I mean, are you really going to have?
01:00:31 To get into a.
01:00:32 A A gun fight that that requires swapping out clips like you have to have some flick vest with like, you know, a bunch of magazines in it.
01:00:42 You know, like I don't.
01:00:43 I think that's.
01:00:44 I don't think that's that's the like if.
01:00:46 Only it's bugging out.
01:00:47 At that point, you know so.
01:00:50 Yeah, think about that is it is.
01:00:52 It better is it smarter?
01:00:53 Maybe to have your rifle at this other location or have a rifle at that location and a rifle at your location now and, you know, have multiple.
01:01:04 Like is it going to be worth it to drag that thing with you also think of it this way, if someone sees you and you're walking around with a giant giant AR or whatever that you know, whatever you have, you just went from like weird guy in the forest to scary gun guy in the.
01:01:20 You know, like you have just.
01:01:22 So if you were now spotted your your threat level to whoever spotted you just went off the charts, you know you're no longer like, oh, wonder what that.
01:01:30 Guy's doing.
01:01:31 And now it's like, what the **** that?
01:01:33 Guy's.
01:01:33 Got a gun? So you.
01:01:34 Got to think about that.
01:01:36 So that's just you know that.
01:01:39 And and ammunition as.
01:01:41 Well, like you gotta wonder.
01:01:42 OK, how much ammunition do I have to take with me?
01:01:46 You probably don't need a bunch.
01:01:47 I mean, this is just to get from point A to point B.
01:01:50 You're not going to be getting into some huge firefights.
01:01:52 So many people want to take all this.
01:01:54 It's like they want to be Rambo.
01:01:55 They think that they're going to be in, like a video game where they're constantly reloading and and getting more ammo.
01:02:00 And getting ammo.
01:02:01 Boxes and stuff like that and just.
01:02:03 Running around like a.
01:02:04 First person shooter head shotting people like.
01:02:08 I can't imagine like if you're in that situation, you're not.
01:02:10 Again, you're not bugging out anymore, you know that's not bugging out.
01:02:13 That's combo.
01:02:15 OK.
01:02:17 So you got to think about that.
01:02:19 Another thing you have to think about is first aid first aid kits.
01:02:25 Now a lot of people will buy these first aid kits.
01:02:28 These survivalists first aid kits they'll throw in their their, you know, oh ship bag and they're like, OK, I got first aid kit.
01:02:35 Again, open it up.
01:02:38 Look and see what it's got in there.
01:02:40 A lot of these don't have a lot in there.
01:02:41 Some of these are just basically a bunch of band AIDS.
01:02:44 And not only should you, you know, know what's in there, you should know how to use what's in there.
01:02:50 This is one of my weak points.
01:02:52 I don't know how to do a lot of.
01:02:54 I mean I can't do like minor surgery.
01:02:56 I could probably figure out how to do stitches or something like that.
01:02:59 You know, there's there's some stuff that you could probably figure out, but this is the kind of thing.
01:03:03 Once again it requires.
01:03:04 Track this.
01:03:04 You're not going to just be able to do it awesomely right out the.
01:03:08 And so if you do get hurt, are you just going to be sitting there like you're going to unzip your first aid kit for the first time ever?
01:03:16 You know, while you're laying there on the ground, injured and then just be looking at like, not you either discover, oh, I don't even have what I needed in here.
01:03:23 Or maybe there is but you don't even know if it is because.
01:03:26 You don't know how to use it.
01:03:28 This is the kind of stuff you.
01:03:29 Have to know.
01:03:30 Now already and so I would recommend.
01:03:34 At the very least, get some literature on it.
01:03:37 Get like.
01:03:39 I think there is a combat medic book that you can get.
01:03:43 That a lot of people use.
01:03:45 I don't know.
01:03:46 I again, this is my weak point.
01:03:47 So this is just I'm.
01:03:48 I'm going to throw it out there that you should be doing this.
01:03:50 I should be doing this though too.
01:03:52 And I don't have the answer for this one, but just keep that.
01:03:54 In mind, you don't want just some like generic first aid kit in your or first aid kit in your bag that you don't know how to use and you don't know what's in it.
01:04:04 OK, another thing and this is something we haven't talked about yet.
01:04:10 That is very important is shelter.
01:04:13 What kind of shelter are you going to need?
01:04:16 And because of your pack size, right.
01:04:19 Like is what's the smallest shelter you can get away.
01:04:21 With, you know.
01:04:23 And that's going to your environment is going to determine that as well.
01:04:27 Can you get away with, you know, one of these?
01:04:30 Net sleeping systems that the the Marines use where it's just basically like a mosquito net, that like it's like a bivy sack within this mosquito net on top of, like, you can get a rain slick on.
01:04:40 Top of that, you know or.
01:04:42 Or maybe you can get away with just going inside of a bivy.
01:04:44 Bag and just zipping it up or and.
01:04:47 And that might be a a super lightweight load of the ground, low profile sneaky way of staying, and you don't you don't want to be sitting there putting up some giant ask tent.
01:04:57 And that's the thing too.
01:04:58 If you have a tent that's made for campers.
01:05:01 It's not made for military it's bright orange or bright blue.
01:05:05 In addition to that, being super visible to you know from from the road or from wherever else from the sky, it's going to blow up like a Jackal Lantern.
01:05:15 Like if you at night, you're like, oh, I'm so tired, I'm going to finally crash out and get on my tent.
01:05:20 I guess I'll read this book and you turn on the light.
01:05:23 You know it.
01:05:24 You're glowing.
01:05:25 You're a.
01:05:25 Bright orange glowing thing in the forest that everyone's going.
01:05:28 See now there's one of the tents that that's army surplus that you can sometimes pick up pretty cheap.
01:05:36 I actually got one of these.
01:05:38 They're a little heavy and that's the downside to a lot of this military stuff is it's all it's still like, it's not as heavy as that.
01:05:44 Really old stuff, but it's.
01:05:46 Still, because it's built to last a lifetime, it's built to survive war, not survive.
01:05:49 Camping trip? Right? So it's it's heavier duty than the camping stuff, which is a blessing and a curse. So everything's going to weigh a little bit more. But the good thing about the orc tents, they're called orc tents, or they're called.
01:06:07 Combat tents, or the improved combat tent or I forget, but if you just look up orc tent that it's the one man tent, it's just big enough.
01:06:16 It's got a vestibule to to put like your pack in, but it has blackout curtains essentially.
01:06:22 So when you zip that thing up, not only if you're in the daytime.
01:06:27 Trying to sleep, it's pitch black inside of there, which is a real bonus if you're traveling by day, something that you know, that's something.
01:06:34 I'm sorry traveling by night and sleeping by day, which is something that I'm going to be doing.
01:06:39 But it's also I can have a light on there in the middle of the night, be like looking at my plans or have, you know, like a phone on that's lit up really bright and no one's going to see it at night. It's not going to illuminate the area. That's around me.
01:06:52 Now, if you're not going to be using lights and you're mindful of that, you can take off the rain slick that's on the top and you still have a lot of breathability and and so you got to think about, you know, what are your weather conditions?
01:07:05 What do you have to prepare for?
01:07:06 What's the lightest weight, lowest profile, easiest to construct?
01:07:12 Camouflage able?
01:07:16 And again, we talked about kind of like the nageli suit thing that you could make the reflect with the radiant barrier to hide from drones where you can just get that camouflage netting.
01:07:25 If you've got a tent that's not really that camouflage, but maybe it's not some offensive color, it's not some bright color, maybe it's like a Gray or a, you know, it's a green, but it's not the best green.
01:07:37 Maybe you can just get some of that netting so you don't have to buy a whole other tent.
01:07:40 The netting is like 10 bucks.
01:07:41 You buy like A roll of that netting.
01:07:43 It's pretty lightweight.
01:07:43 You throw it over your tent after you pop it up.
01:07:45 So if you've already got like a good bivy bag or something.
01:07:48 Like that, but it's just not.
01:07:49 Doesn't really blend in that great.
01:07:51 That's maybe a solution that you can go.
01:07:54 So again, try to find the kind of shelter that's going to protect you.
01:08:00 Like, my challenge is right now for my shelter.
01:08:03 And again, this is going to be different for everybody that's listening.
01:08:06 My challenges are going to be keeping rattlesnakes out of my my sleeping bag, keeping scorpions out of my sleeping bag.
01:08:14 Being cool in the summer and being.
01:08:19 Warm in the wind.
01:08:20 So there's a lot of challenges there.
01:08:22 So but there's ways of doing that, right?
01:08:25 Like I just mentioned, the Marine one, you can make that work in cold weather if you have the rain slick on it and you've got a cold weather sleeping bag, then you're good to go, right?
01:08:35 And then in the summer, you can use that exact same thing without the the, the, the rain slick.
01:08:40 Right.
01:08:41 So you have bring the ability and then you just have like a lighter weight sleeping bag.
01:08:45 So, but you got to think about shelter.
01:08:47 You got to think about a way of surviving the elements, because, like I talked about earlier, even if it's only 50 degrees outside, if you get wet, you can still get hypothermia.
01:08:58 Another thing that I would recommend taking with you, just because it's cheap and there's so many uses for it, is paracord.
01:09:05 You can get paracord dirt cheap, have it like a like 100 feet of paracord, at least with.
01:09:10 You throw that in your bag, you can use that to make a shelter.
01:09:14 If for some reason you don't have a shelter or.
01:09:18 And and by the way, if you're going to be traveling through an environment.
01:09:21 Like the woods.
01:09:23 You know and and you prefer to build your.
01:09:25 Own shelter. That's.
01:09:27 You know, depending on what the weather is.
01:09:28 Going to be like that it.
01:09:29 It's doable with some rope.
01:09:31 You could.
01:09:32 I mean, for me it's not really doable in the desert.
01:09:35 What am I going to do?
01:09:36 Like dig a hole in the sand or something.
01:09:38 Like that, I'm going to a shelter, but for there might be some people living environments that they feel confident doing that.
01:09:43 It depends on how good you are at bushcraft and all that stuff, but that's that's obviously a very important part of this is the shelter and last.
01:09:53 But not least.
01:09:56 Is if you get stuck in a jam.
01:10:01 Do you have items?
01:10:03 That you can.
01:10:03 Trade the people to get what you want.
01:10:08 Now I'm not going to go.
01:10:08 Over where all those items could be.
01:10:12 Because some of it could be contraband, right?
01:10:14 Like maybe you have.
01:10:15 Maybe you got something access to something that people would want in a situation like this.
01:10:19 That you can trade for stuff.
01:10:22 Maybe you've got and then you could say, well, I'll have cash with me.
01:10:26 Well, is cash going?
01:10:27 To be.
01:10:28 The best option is it going to be good to flash cash around, you know, in terms of gold, but that's kind of a silly thing like one of the things that I always.
01:10:38 Wonder why people say well, I'll have like a gold.
01:10:39 There and that'll help me.
01:10:41 You know, out of the country or whatever, really. No one. First of all, no one's gonna be able to test and make sure that that gold's real.
01:10:47 You think like a cabby is gonna accept, like, you're gonna be like here's.
01:10:51 Like a your little.
01:10:52 Gold bar to take me to the.
01:10:54 Airport or whatever.
01:10:54 He he.
01:10:55 How does he know that that's real.
01:10:56 He doesn't have the means to test that right away.
01:10:59 You know, and I guess that could be an option, maybe one of these things you can buy, you can buy cheap or fake gold bars and that are somewhat can I mean at least you could, I don't know if you you still go on the dark web and buy like legit looking gold bars, but they were just, you know lead or I don't know what they were, but they were they were gold plated even like they were really as legit as you can get.
01:11:20 Being real, and if you know, I guess under any kind of scrutiny you can figure it.
01:11:24 Out, but if?
01:11:25 That could be one option.
01:11:26 Maybe you have something like that that you could use and it's not really worth anything.
01:11:30 But you can trade it to get it, but think of things like what?
01:11:33 What do I have access to that people would want that I could trade if I get in a bind that I need to access to?
01:11:39 To something.
01:11:41 Another thing to think about, and this is just like as you know as I'm wrapping up here.
01:11:46 That I just thought.
01:11:47 Of a lot of people because just because you're you're bugging out doesn't mean your phone isn't going to be working.
01:11:54 It doesn't mean the phone lines are going to be down.
01:11:56 They might.
01:11:56 Yep, very good chance they will be up, but if something happens to your phone, a lot of us don't memorize our friend's phone numbers anymore.
01:12:06 That used to be what you did, you know.
01:12:07 Or you as soon as.
01:12:09 Speed dial came out.
01:12:10 That stopped happening.
01:12:11 But now?
01:12:11 I mean, I don't even know the area codes of my friend's phone.
01:12:15 Right.
01:12:15 No, no one does.
01:12:16 You know, I just, I just scroll through my contacts and tap their name.
01:12:20 Well, if something happens to your phone.
01:12:23 How are you going to contact those people?
01:12:25 So I would also include in your bug out bag a a physical copy of documents including phone numbers, but other documents too.
01:12:34 I would make a photocopy of your drivers license.
01:12:38 You know things like that.
01:12:39 Photocopy a bunch of stuff, a bunch of documents that you would need.
01:12:44 Maps and just stick them in a little.
01:12:48 Folder and have that in your.
01:12:50 Bug out bag.
01:12:51 Just so you have that kind of information with you.
01:12:53 You know, especially a map of your route, right?
01:12:56 So if you're going to have to like if something happens to your GPS.
01:13:01 And now you're relying on a.
01:13:02 Compass, you know, to get around and you don't have a map yet.
01:13:06 Good luck with that, right.
01:13:08 You're going to at least have to have a map.
01:13:10 And so try to have a physical.
01:13:13 Map of your route.
01:13:15 And if you if you actually practice, do a practice run and go through the route, take pictures, take pictures of of landmarks that you see.
01:13:26 And print those out and keep that with your map so that if you're not very good at reading maps and you know you kind of get lost and you're low.
01:13:33 Well, I'm looking for this rock that looks.
01:13:35 Like a fish, you know.
01:13:37 Then you have a picture of it.
01:13:38 You're like, oh, yeah, there it is.
01:13:39 That's that rock I was looking for or whatever, right.
01:13:42 You know, maybe there's like a water tower or, you know, something some.
01:13:45 Landmark that's going to lead you to know that you're on the right path and that sort of thing.
01:13:51 So anyway, that's that's just a bunch of stuff I was thinking about because I was I myself was building out my.
01:13:59 My I actually have a couple different versions of it, but my oh ship bags.
01:14:05 And I just started realizing that a lot of people, they watch these videos and they just buy whatever these guys say.
01:14:11 They don't do any planning and I was starting to fall for.
01:14:15 That myself because I was.
01:14:16 Like, Oh yeah, it'll be fun.
01:14:18 And then I realized.
01:14:19 No, you won't.
01:14:19 You know, like how are.
01:14:20 You going to be fine like.
01:14:22 I I looked at the map it was like.
01:14:24 You're not going to be fine.
01:14:25 This is this is not going to be fine.
01:14:27 There's no water.
01:14:28 And so then I had to start tailor, you know, tailoring my bag to my situation.
01:14:33 I realized more people need to do this.
01:14:36 More people need to do this, and so I just decided this would be a good thing to.
01:14:40 Talk about real quick and get this out.
01:14:44 Of the way anyways.
01:14:46 So hope you guys are having a good weekend and I am working on a video for a movie.
01:14:57 And I'm still we're on The Simpsons.
01:14:59 I'm almost done watching all of them.
01:15:01 I'm towards the end of it.
01:15:03 I'm debating on whether or not I should watch the very last the you know this the new ones or whatever.
01:15:07 I'm like, I kind of don't think it's that relevant, but I might, you know, depending on how quickly I get these done.
01:15:16 But I might do that.
01:15:18 I'm also researching something else.
01:15:21 I'm not going to tell if the election right now I'm election out.
01:15:24 I'm not going to talk about Corona right now.
01:15:26 I'm Coronado out.
01:15:27 I will say I'll I'll make some recommendations.
01:15:31 James Corbett of the Corbett report.
01:15:34 Did a really, really really really really really good.
01:15:37 Video his last video it's on YouTube, it's.
01:15:40 About an hour.
01:15:41 Long he talks about the great reset, so a lot of people are not familiar with what the great reset is and how it pertains to COVID and I think it would be very important for anyone, really anyone that hasn't seen it to watch that video.
01:16:01 It came out recently. My thing. I think it's his most recent video, but he really covers a lot of ground. His channel's great.
01:16:08 I would say look into that.
01:16:09 That's going to really fill you in on a lot of these things that don't make sense about what's going on with COVID and stuff like that.
01:16:16 We'll start to make a little more sense and then also another good channel.
01:16:21 Just in general is computing forever.
01:16:27 Dave Cohen has he's coming from an Irishman's perspective because you know, Ireland has different things going on than America.
01:16:35 Yeah, but I mean pretty much the entire W is under very similar situation and he makes some really good.
01:16:43 He has some really good research and makes some really good arguments that are in line with what James Corbett is saying and has been saying for over a decade, by the way.
01:16:52 So this isn't like, you know, a lot of these people have been predicting this kind of thing happening a lot.
01:16:57 Time and it might make you realize another the importance of having prepared for preparations for the future.
01:17:07 So I would say I would definitely recommend checking those out.
