@@GeoffreySage thanks

@@GeoffreySage very fun day at the range. My nephew enjoyed it

@@thePreparedFather thanks sir

@@ToastyTexan911 it's simple if you know much about anatomy. Having more rods than cones in one's eyes, allows one to see better at night, than those with more cones than rods. Just like most nocturnal animals I have alot of rods in my eyes. I can see perfectly well in pitch dark without any ambient light of any kind, my eyes get less of a bleaching effect even with bright light flashing in darkness, and my eyes adjust to darkness much faster. I've known I had alot of rods in my eyes since I was 7 years old.

@@XianneTV thanks

@@Barrelsmoke wow now calm down don't get all emotional. This is many years worth of survival living and prep. I didn't get this all at once. I have lived that life out in the wilderness alone. I know what I like and that's being an outdoors person. If you don't like it so be it. I'm still going to do me.

@@Barrelsmoke not waiting for anything. I grew up living a philosophy, be prepared, instead of getting caught with my pants down. I tell people all the time better to be safe than sorry. This isn't just my go bag. This is my family's go bag. I'm more prepared than I should ever need to be is what I like to be.

@@Barrelsmoke to say your a firearms person implys that I am the same as you. I live that life, you just can't even imagine it, what would you do if you didn't have selter. Or a grocery store, a bathroom, electricity/electronics. Firearms are a mere tool they're only part of truly living that life.

@heirapparent333 I think you take me wrong,I meant no disrespect. I look at a very large amount of stuff that needs to be mobile and all I can picture Is you looking like clint eastwood in two Mules for sister sarah. I am well prepared at my home. I don't have any a large stash of stuff for the road.I don't ever plan on leaving my house. If we lose electricity, I am prepared if we don't have a grocery store, I am prepared. I just don't plan on ditching everything I have and have worked for and leaving home to survive. My home is my fortress, If that is the case then the problem is bigger than just surviving.

@Barrelsmoke again two bags. It's a go bag to get to family not to bug out aimlessly. So weight isn't too big a deal. But these bags aren't as heavy as you may think they are don't forget the camera adds 5 to 10 pounds always

@@Ghostpr787 my fn is painted with culture hustles worlds blackest black paint.

@@Ghostpr787 keep in mind as well these are two bags not one. One for me as I'm out scouting or hunting. One for my stationery family.

Never had an issue with it. So I guess you're wrong.

It's my everyday carry would have felt it by now if an issue.

It's a single and double action gun. Therfore hammer down with tge decocker is the safest was to carry it. Unlike a 1911 no safety so the hammer is cooked back. Where it would possibly cause a problem with digging into you. It would be impossible with a double action gun. Have you carried a gun like this in double action mode? Doesn't sound like it. But to each their own

@@heirapparent333 yes. I own a CZ P-09. I'm about to own a 2nd suppressor version. Sweat guards can have both positives and negatives. Kydex sweat guards stick into your belly while sitting. But, with many modern pistols having such aggressive slide serrations, I'd prefer the sweat guard sticking into me. I carry my CZ P-09 decocked. That said, the hammer can still dig into your belly. A nice wide sweat guard, that covers the entire decocked hammer, would be nice. I'm not worried about safety. It would take a ton of force to push the hammer past the half cocked position. And while that's been known to happen on worn hammer fired pistols, it probably wouldn't have enough force to ignite the primer.

@@heirapparent333 I do have a relationship with a custom holster manufacturer, who tends to make far better Kydex holsters than the off-the-shelf holsters. My guy is especially good if you want to run a weapon light. Harry's Holsters are pretty good. They might be better than what my custom holster manufacturer makes. But, Harry's Holsters are pretty expensive

Have both, depends on your uses, and preferences. 300 or 10mm is a far better choice than 45, 9mm, or 556. If you are going short barrel. If going rifle length 300 over 10mm obviously. If hunting 300 over 556 as well. Defense cqb 300 rifle over 556 rifle for sure. Check out my new 300 blackout rifle. Maybe this response will help you.

@@heirapparent333 yea I want this or like a maxim defense 508c sig rattler or honey badger but I love 10mm just don’t know I will use it as a car gun and some home defense

@terrencejones397 if going with car defense 10mm would be better for that use case, being better barrier blind, but 300 blackout would work better for home defense. If you choose 300 use supers for car, then use 10 subs in house, followed by 10 supers in the lower part of mag (10 subs, 10 supers, then 10 subs or a different type of supper if 30 round mags.)

@@heirapparent333 nice yea I’m still deciding the 10mm would definitely be cheaper tho but did you buy yours directly from Cmmg

No guns.com. it is a discontinued model they didn't offer it any longer.

Appreciate it.

I never said I would want to, 30 meters is where I would zero, and do. The manufacturer of the sight says to zero to 100 yards. But that's not where I would be shooting to. Hense why I zeroed at 30 meters.

What you mean a true American, affected by inflation, and trashed economy. Trust if I was rich I would have alot more firearms. A javelin isn't legal to own as a civilian lol let's be realistic. Non Americans here stuff like that and get the wrong idea.

Instead of what? Explain your reasoning please

@@heirapparent333 maybe read my sentence again. It’s all explained in a few words with proper reading comprehension.

Which firearms you saying I should not have bought. Is all I thought my reasoning was clear. The reason I don't have a rifle is for many reasons. Not saying I won't ever get an ar10 but only when time permits it. My handgun choice is quite clear and makes sense, so if you say what I should ommit, then I can better tell you why I disagree.

I already have a system. It's called no glocks or sigs. The only glock I would buy is the 10mm but only because of my banshee mags. I'm happy no relying on an out dated system like glock. Glock needs to update the look and feel of their guns.

I've already went over 3 months surving on these ration bars. What's you point? Why you think it is impossible?

You don't need to talk to me like that. Trust I'm not like your average prepper. I've been in real survival situations from a young age. I've lived a crazy life. Been shot at with automatic rifle, had guns pointed at my head, been I'm alot of fights. Dealt with dangerous game in the wild, been bitten by venomous snake, swam with alligators and sharks alike. Survived in hand built selter for months. Lived off of food rations. Climbed steep mountains with rope. Snowboarder back county. Navigated exclusively with compasses. So on and so on.

Nice 👍

This is two bug out bags I have a family.

Incorrect, I choose to hang emergency supplies on the outside, when life matters seconds save lives. Plenty of room inside for my rain jacket, cold weather jacket, and med kit. I choose to display it outside, so if around others, and seconds matter they or I don't have to go searching thru a bag for it. Med kits home and rain gear in Florida should always be on the quick access. On the outside of your pack. My preference doesn't have to be yours.

Says the online expert. Go help someone who cares enough to listen. I'm not that guy.

Been shooting for decades. Sounds to me you don't know anything about reality. Not everyone is an elitist like most youtubers film themselves out to be. Sorry I'm not your rich idol. I'm happy and content with myself who cares if you don't.

@@heirapparent333 lol totally bro. Shooting for decades says absolutely nothing. I know way too many people who have “50 years of shooting experience” and can’t hit the broadside of a barn

Red dot on an ar is ideal, not a red dot and magnifier, this is an ar15 not an ar10. Putting a scope on a ar15 would mean I don't know anything. Lpvo or acog would be perfered. But this is my first ar, those will come, when I get an ar10, useless on an ar15. A red dot is an red dot, as long as it has a study non polymer housing, and isn't a cheap not inexpensive optic than all is good. Regardless of your opinion, my opinion I'm happy with, you can say what you please I don't have to change to please you I'm good.

@@heirapparent333 yah, except that is a massive piece of shit, and is literally known to fail in the most stupid ways. And that’s if you can get it to even hold a zero.

Held zero for over a year, same battery for over a year, plus mines was bought on display so battery had already been used. I'm not going to say it is an amazing top of the line red dot. But for what I needed it for it has done the job. Look again your opinion is just that an opinion. You can kindly take it somewhere else if it pains you so much to see me using it on my ar pistol. Of which I paid my own money on.

Hey to each their own. I like them and have already used them in real life for survival. For a prolonged stint even during a snowstorm in the woods.

If I might suggest get a full size handgun in a woods defense caliber like 10mm or 357 mag. A pistol in 9mm compact or micro for carry perfered compact over micro. An ar10 defense simi auto rifle you can use for hunting as well. If an ar in 308 has too much recoil or weight. An ar15 16 inch in 300 blackout would fill same role. If you wanted any advice.

Is this your way of giving me a new video idea. Thanks. I'll have to do a revisit bug out bag on a budget or something like that. Thanks again. Any other ideas let me know

This is divided between two bags, my ifak is on the outside of my pack, attached on rip away mole.

Thanks for advice that is actually decent at least.

No I'm bugging out with them, my bug out bag is for recon and hunting, from my family's place. My bag has to be more mobile for those reasons.

Don't know what you mean I have both food rations and water in my bag.

Lol hate if you like you don't have to watch. But thanks for the comment that helps.

Not everyone is rich this is the real world.

It's america tho, lol, this is two bug out bags, one is for my family so keep that in mind.

It's not over thinking it, I've been using flint and striker to start fires since I was six years old, it's more about relying on one's skill set. A kid can't own a lighter but flint no problem one advantage. There are many advantages over lighters and matches. Such as never running out of lighter fluid or matches, magnesium burned hotter than traditional fires, and comes with built in tindling(magnesium). So on and so forth.

Theres nothing wrong with having a fire steel striker as backup but i would not advertise it as the primary firestarting method. Ive tried it it and its very hard to start a fire with it BUT its also very hard to do it with a BIC lighter...when you dont have any tinder. What i also find over the top is when people putting EVERY known method of starting a fire into their fire kit. I just put in ONE striker as backup and 2-3 BIC lighters as main fire starting method. After that the most important thing is to have at least some tinder in your kit so that you can ALWAYS start a fire even when you cant find any tinder around you. I usually use some cotton balls with vaseline with different methods to transport it. As EDC i like leaing them inside of 10cm long plastic straws and in my kits i usually put it in a ziplock bag that i put into another one to be sure it doesnt leak. You can buy pure magnesium rods (used for science experiments in schools etc) on Amazon. That magnesium is a lot better then the one from the cheap hybrid strikers. p.s. What i dont understand that some of my strikers go bad over the years. They oxidize and become dust no matter how i store them. It also doesnt seem to depend on the brand because i have one going bad and another one not while both are from the same brand.

Those emergency food rations should be opened and checked before it is needed. My food rations developed an oily film on the foil wrapper and when I opened to check, the square had dried to a brick-- totally useless if I really needed it.

@@bigbrother9531 They are supposed to be a dry brick...at least the ones (BP-5, NRG-5, Convar7) i tried. I would worry if it was something else.

​@@grayssoncarl5020weight kills when having to be mobile, tinder adds weight, one fire starting method is all you need. It's preference striker or lighter which one works for you. Redundancy for fire I wouldn't suggest. If shtf it may not even be an option to start a fire, people can see that, and will know food is there.

By duck tape you mean paracord?

and underwear :)

That one is on lol

@@heirapparent333 One thing I don't see often in these bug-out bags is duck tape. I only bring it up because you'll likely want to be off public roads, in dense forests, etc. And there are so many use cases in which I can see duck tape being a critical item. For example, if you have people traveling with you, like little kids who are careless, you can fabricate snake gaiters to protect them from snake bites or ticks, etc. Anyway, it looks like you have a pretty good setup and plan. :)

It's my opinion that duck tape is not a necessity in survival. So I leave it out.

I'm polytheistic myself, i do believe in God/Jesus, just not in the same sense as others.

As far as where I'm at in my prep, I would say 75 percent of where I would like to be, no one can say they are 100 percent ready that is a lie. We're always changing and developing along our journey of life. So there for our prep should always be evolving and changing with us. So no one can ever be 100 percent ready.

If you have any prep started you are in good shape, it shows your taking the initiative, just never stop until you have to use your items and skills in a bad situation.

Thanks

It only sucks your battery dead when turned off, if you have background whatever running, such as government background running on your phone. Come end of world situation this wouldn't happen. As for booting drawing power yes true. But weigh that against leaving it on constant battery drain it weighs heavier a plus to turning off and on. Provided not using the phone for prolonged stints

Why need a useless phone. It can be traced and located easily for people whom didn't have a bug out bag. The cell phones won't work for the internet, or cellular services. If so, you'll be traced easily anyway, plus the other end whom you call. You need to make a way point for family or cared for one's to meet. Like the library, or somewhere dumb no one will go to. ❤ When poop hits only 10% of the population will be left and severely injured if alive within 1 week radioactivity, it drops to 5% really fast. Loved ones, only 5% will be alive and friends. No one to call. Too much weight in this kit. Have a full set up at your way point area, just hide it. It's not illegal, usually. Save you a lot of energy. Losing weight is your enemy. I seen experienced hikers bug out for 2 weeks and call it quits in great weather, beautiful conditions, which anyone can live forever outside nearly. 😀, bury your bug out somewhere is always an option plus watch out for mildew and water proof if burying anything. Microbe proof. The more tired you the more you eat and waste food. 🗑 remember your the hunter entering your own back yards if you travel. Not many will see you as friendly. You will get hurt, killed, or taken hostage 100%. That's everyone's reality. ♥️ can't travel fast, have to sneak through places very slowly. That amount of weight will get you spotted early. Most times is best to bug out where your at, hopefully your main bug out area isn't occupied. This is why burying two or three areas is comfortable. Could take days covering just 100 yards.

Thanks proud to be prepared as an American.

Same here used it for years exclusively.

That's what people act like, the pdp some how magically makes recoil so bad, people can't handle it for it makes it feel like a 40. I don't get it to me the pdp feels just as soft shooting as any other nine similar in size

💯 amen. I remember when g27 and 23 were wrist breakers from the whiners.

Yeah I mean they're magnum cartridges right lmao. 9mm has so much recoil.

As per optic manufacturer suggested 100m. It wasn't my grip, I don't have thumbs on pistol grip, like what most people use. My grip is unique one of the reasons I can control recoil better even in small guns like a micro nine. It was the 115 grain trash ammo I was using, never saw any issues out of any other ammo, including 115 blazer brass.

This isn't a compact, it's the full size pdp, it shoots just like another full size gun. No need to freak out and claim it recoils so bad.

​@@heirapparent333I believe you're the only one freaking out bud

Everyone seems to have issues with recoil on walther pdp. Although I just don't get where they're coming from. Its a full size nine recoil isn't snappy is all

I disagree, it doesn't recoil any more than another gun, in the same size bracket. Some guns are better at soaking up recoil like fn 509, cz p09, beretta 92x. Regardless this gun is not snappy in the least bit. If you disagree then I suggest working on your grip. As I said in my video. It's my felt recoil to me everyone is different. But you can't say a full size nine is snappy like this one.

@@heirapparent333 Please, I know it's an easy retort, but it's not a skill issue. So I don't need to work basics such as my grip. I have both PDPs, a Canik and a Sig. The gun is snappy. In YOUR opinion, it isn't. Cool. Large consensus, i.e., other channels of reputable shooters, the snappiness remark remains consistent. I still EDC the compact because it's a fast and accurate shot. But It's snappy. Two things can be true: it's accurate, but snappy.

I never said you need to work on your grip I said everyone who thinks it is snappy is a them problem. With grip only playing a small part in felt recoil it has more to do with other factors than just that. I know it isn't snappy. The only nine mm that deserves to be called snappy are micro nines or micro compacts period

@@davdcl499I’ll say it. Work on your grip. In YOUR opinion it’s snappy. How can you can make the blanket statement claim that the PDP is snappy when this guy here is telling you that it’s not and I’ll tell you that it’s not because I have two full-size Walther PDP 5 inch barrels. I even shot the PDP F series and even that is not what you would call “snappy” at all. It seems more like a you thing than a PDP thing. Shoot a Ruger EC9S and you’ll truly feel what snappy is. I’ve heard all the excuses for lack of a good grip. I’ve heard bore axis, I’ve heard oversprung, I’ve heard it all. Just work on your grip.

@@CitizenCarrier You hitmen and mercenaries can't help yourselves. I carry a Walther. I CARRYYYYY the PDP Compact. Why? Because it's accurate as hell. Snappy, but accurate. Also, I trust it with my life. Companies like ZR Tactical are thriving and dedicated to aiding in the damn snappiness of the Walther PDP. Or maybe we just suffer from having bitch wrists? Yeah, I'll say or it or you will. We have bitch wrists syndrome. Matter of fact, there's no such thing as felt recoil. Let's scrap it all together. The PDP, the Ruger EC9S, the Springfield Hellcat. Why would they even put a compensator on that thing? People should just "fix their grip." Good afternoon, James Bond.

Explain terminology please

Metalfate0 is my side channel please explain yourself.

@@heirapparent333 like its not working

That's just watered down 10mm, it doesn't have enough force, to cycle my bolt carry group is all. Lol hense why you don't use cheap crap ammo for defense. Anything good like sig elite ball, hollow points, and hunting ammo no problem.

Dont worry it's all good.

I paid my own hard earned money for my things. So if I want to paint it I will. I don't care if you or anyone else likes it or not.

@@heirapparent333 "And I made that mistake with a Ruger Security. I completely disassembled it and put it in lacquer thinner, cleaned it completely, assembled it, and it turned out fine. I'm sorry for the mistake you made."

Yeah I'm sure.

Just like I care what an internet expert says about what is right and wrong. Trust if you were in charge of fn I would never buy from them again. With a welcome to your complaints.

LMAO

It has to be a training issue. I think at least, as to why people see more felt recoil, it feels between a compact and full size in recoil. Which puts it in line with all other handguns in its class.

Took it out to the range with my cz p09, fn 509 c tac, and fn 510. Like I said it recoils in-between a compact and full size nine. Recoil is too subjective for most people. It's a training issue with people. For example everyone I've talked to about the hellcat verses the sig 365. Say the hellcat recoils more. I disagree the sig recoils slightly more and on paper the measurements back me up. The mind plays tricks on people your perceptions on reality can be askew.

It's a cleaning solvent, not clp, so once I'm done brushing the carbon off. Plus cotton ragging it, then yes it will, just what's left over evaporate off.

This round was a year old, in and out of an ar 15, it's not the rounds fault. I do like federal regardless. Winchester is the trash ammo out there. I'm always having legitimate issues with it.

As well please don't curse on my channel. Edit your comment or I will delete it. I don't allow it in comments. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. So feel free to disagree all you like. Just please keep it within reason no profanity.
