in here i have my battle belt, my armor, my staff of justice, my rod of smite, my gask mask, a crowbar, a half eaten bologni sandwich, a pull up bar, 2 canteens of orange juice, a flux capacitor, and my backup knight armor. in the trunk of i have my battle axe, a sword of darkness, 3 silver bullets, a wooden steak, 6 wooden bullets, a wooden gun, a peg leg and a patch for my left eye.
And all of it without the look of wear and tear. What is it with the torch on the seat-mount with the opening towards the rifle. Bad setup, because its just made for the channel :)
you seem very calm and collected for being so young, most EDC/Tactical guys on YT seem to revel in displaying the ostentatious gear etc that we are led to believe we need despite the obvious potential to rack up debt. Your local community is fortunate to have you.
Recommend some backup food (energy/protein bars, water) in case you get stuck somewhere. Can't imagine being that guy who ate nothing but hot sauce for 5 days during the blizzard.
I live in washington. The winter can be unpredicatable. In the past. We may get a few inches of snow or none at all but the recent few years we get nearly a foot amd it sticks around for a week or so. People get stuck on the roads or at work unable to travel due to state or local goverments refusing to salt the roads to save the salmon. (Freshwater fish that go to the ocean) stupid but we are controled by democrats. I keep some basics to get by a few days. And recomend everyone to carry at least 3 days food and water. More is better.
One suggestion, keep a blow out kit and window breaker in the front where you can get to them if you are in a major wreck. Being able to get the bleeding stopped before the jaws of life can extract you may go a long ways at saving your life. Velcroed on the driver side of the gearstick housing is a good place to start. Thanks for all your insight on your videos, keep it up and stay safe.
Pretty good Sam, one thing that I would recommend is some form of flashing lights or road flares. If you are a first responder working out of your car that is something you should have. I know that different states have different laws on emergency lights but I would recommend the LED road flares with magnetic mounts that way you can set it on a mode to show that you are a first responder while attending to an roadside accident or to make a scene safer for yourself and others.
I keep my escape hammer/seatbelt cutter in my center console, so I have access to it if I need it for myself. Also keep a small fire extinguisher and a flashlight in there. Food for thought. Keep up the good work dude.
Hey Sam old ER nurse here, still haven’t see the choking segment yet & please cover burns, everybody got there own ideas on burns treatment would be interesting to see your protocols 🙏🏻
For auto mechanical stuff just to watch every single @ChrisFix video that you could possibly find and then re-watch them all!!! That should cover the basics and you'll develop a mechanics intuition!!!
Great stuff Sam! A written repair manual for your vehicle and some basic tools might just save the day. I had my car not start when going back home from somewhere, and after a bit of reading I had it narrowed down to the starter engine. With the help of a mirror and a flashlight I found that the problem was as simple as the electrical wire was loose and I just had to plug it back in (this area not visible on my vehicle with out a mirror). Saved us a bunch of time and money not having to pay for tow truck or mechanics.
I'm kind of neutral on that point, given how new the vehicle is. I'm not terribly familiar with how Ford is about DIY repairs, but more and more, automakers in general are doing everything they can to force repairs be done in their dealerships or affiliated mechanics. It might be useful, although there might not be much that can actually be done by the non-savvy anymore.
@@TheAttacker732 True, but doing a simple diagnosis of what the probable cause can be could, like in my case, save you a bunch while not more difficult than plugging in a socket to your wall. I do not carry extra belts, plugs, filters and other spares in my vehicle but some extra light bulbs, oil and coolant I do take.
@@ThePreparedNorseman Fair enough. And the spare fluids aren't a bad idea, esp. the motor oil, since it can double for gun oil in a pinch. And I do have to admit, so far, almost all my problems with my '03 have been a hell of a lot bigger than field fixes. Starter completely died away from home, replaced in a parking lot 2 towns over in near 90 degree heat. (Not turning at all, just extending to engage the engine.) Alternator broke after crossing a set of tracks. (It's quite terrifying watching your battery light get dimmer and dimmer while trying to get home at night.) Busted a rear wheel bearing, it might have rusted until it broke open, not really sure the cause. Blew a brake cylinder after hitting a pothole hidden by a downhill corner. After switching to aluminum rims, had lug nuts shake loose and shear 4 of the 5 studs off on my front wheel. And when a shop was working on it for the brake cylinder, they couldn't get it to not kill O2 sensors, replacing it 3 times before giving up on that endeavor. The rear wheel bearing was far and away the simplest fix, being 5 lug nuts and a central nut to remove. And even that was beyond what most would consider a simple toolkit, requiring a torque wrench that could handle 160ft-lbs.
@@TheAttacker732 Jupp, those are for sure not things you just grab out of the back of your car and replace on the roadside. I have never had really big mishaps when out and about with any of my cars, but then again we have some extensive periodic vehicle controls over here that will help identifying more serious problems sooner. But one time i had the exhaust completely fall off an old peugeot i had just bought the same day, cracked of in the weld at the front (had been replaced not long before). Problem was that when they replaced the exhaust they did not replace the attachment rings and they were rusted trough... Some steel wire was the solution.
My dad flipped his suv on an icy road going from Fort Dodge to Des Moines for Nat’l Guard drill one winter. They closed the road behind him. Was in the middle of nowhere and it rolled into a corn field (naturally). Luckily, he had cell signal or he would’ve been screwed. Good on you to be prepared for situations like that.
4:00 during lifeguard training we got car in the water drills, one of the thing taught was that while your vehicle is submerged you cannot break the glass with that hammer (this is only the case when submerged) their are products like RESQME which deploy a small needle that will break the glass no matter if your underwater. just a little gear tip :) love the channel, keep it up
I find food and water are really good to have in your car. Maybe not the water in the winter but definitely some easy to grab bars and snacks. Very very helpful. As well as a tool kit and jumper cables. Can't even tell you how many times I've had to use those out and about.
that molly panel for the seat back is now on my wish list. thanks for showing it and the link. been thinking of a way to make my own for a while now, but you showed me something better than i could have made myself. i will even show it to the deputies i work with for there trucks. thanks and keep up the great work you are doing! edit to add: in warmer weather, i keep an older camel back mule hydration pack with 3 liters of water hanging from the drivers seat on my truck with the drinking hose kept in easy reach. i find it a little easier than trying to drink from a bottle while driving. in winter here in Montana it can be a challenge to keep it from freezing.
Even if you don't know much about mechanics it is always advisable to keep at least a basic tool kit. You may not know much but someone who stops to help you or who you stop to help may know what to do but not have the tools to do it. I carry stuff in my medic bag that I'm not real familiar with using but in an emergency situation I might run into someone like you who does know. It's just good practice to be prepared.
Cool! Just a little tip: reverse your flashlight pouch so it faces the door. It will be easier to grab it because it wont catch up on a rifle stock....
I would recommend a A,B,C Rated Fire extinguisher. It has a little more utility for small vehicle fires, if you see a small brush fire starting etc. Also a Lighter or fire starting kit could be helpful. Also tip even during rain or snow the bottom dead branches of evergreens are still very flammable and very good for starting a fire if you're stranded and need warmth. Also rations would be a Good addition, Jerky/other preserved meat, nut bars, water, pickled vegetables because they are well preserved, and sour dough bread because it lasts a little longer. And canned beans would be good for a fire made meal. Also a large aluminum can or water purification kit would be good too. Obviously alot of stuff but just suggestions. Also Idk your survival/nature training but you can easily add different plants, wild vegetables, and wild roots to the beans for extra nutritional value. Also a tarp for a makeshift shelter would be good.
I dont disagree wholeheartedly with this mindset and or approach, however I feel it may be a bit excessive being as that he isnt gonna be far off the road in any given situation. Im sure if he is out in the bush he will be well prepared for that as well. The fire starter is a definite considering it takes near no space and can help drastically in a cold enivironment. Also as far as food goes there is almost always a gas station or something near by so a bag of beef jerky is more than suffiecient imo. I like the talking points but feel as if it may be a tad over board in this specific situation.
Also I would carry a 1/2 inch breaker bar with socket size that fits your tire. Super easy to get those lug nuts off and I would also carry a small socket set Incase you need to do some little thing in car, like your battery terminal comes loose and need to tighter that, or your oil plug comes loose and need to tighten that out. It helps out with little things in case of emergencies. But keep a breaker bar with a socket size of your lug nuts and some penetration fluid, as all the salt and such fuses the tire to the hub. So having something like WD-40 helps or just keep a hammer and you can use that as wel. Both for tactical and tire changing purposes lol. Also buy a portable battery jump start thing, it amazing. I got these basic things in all of our and our family car and it helps out in emergencies and even we can help someone who is stranded on road as well. And something that I learned from my EMS days is to always keep the hammer and seatbelt cutter with easy to reach area, so it can be used in emergencies even faster.
Reserve deputy and a swat medic. Awesome. Us reserve deputies here are unarmed volunteers with no law enforcement powers that just assist with traffic accidents and parades
Looking good, I like the setup. I use to have a similar setup, but changed slightly since I am a homeland kind of guy now. I was a combat medic and swat officer so I can relate to your experiences. I just purchased a ford explorer and working on my vehicle EDC kit. I wish there was more side storage options in the rear to save on floor space. I really like that molle panel setup since it is quickly removed as a single unit. I have a suppressed ar pistol I am wanting to mount in my suv for emergencies. Keep up the good work, and the videos, I like them.
Tactical Rifleman has a cool vid on car edc. I added a few items to mine and the wife’s car after watching his video. Battery pack jumper and a few MREs to name a few.
Thanks for the Vid. Only seeing a couple, I hadn't before known your calling. I'm not a LEO, just had a few experiences that prompted me to get training - a few Red Cross courses along the way, after living in several areas of the US each with its own flavors of disaster - Hurricanes & flooding East coast; Blizzards & Tornadoes in the Midwest (Ohio & Chicago); Earthquakes & forest fires in CA... *I recommend a 12-week course offered by many RC chapters - "Wilderness Emergency Response."* It's based on the premise you might be days or weeks apart from any professional EMS/Hospital/Physician, and trains folks to recognize, assess & respond to basic ABC/first responder situations + reducing fractures & dislocations; heat stroke & hypothermia; trauma, lacerations & wound management; frostbite, diabetes problems, CPR for adults, children & infants; rescue carries & more. Most local Fire Departments also offer training, starting w Community Emergency Response Team training that usually addresses issues & challenges of your locale.
It's funny you have a shovel in your vehicle. My wife and I have 2 vehicles, my truck which is a 2015 Titan and my wife has a 17 Pathfinder. We went to my in laws last weekend, and she looked at me like I had 3 heads when I took the shovel from the toolbox in my truck and put it in her car. Mind you we've lived in Pennsylvania all our lives. I have gotten my old truck stuck because it was 2 wheel drive pulling a car out of a ditch and from that day forward I swore to myself even if it's a 4 wheel drive vehicle I'm never leaving without a shovel. I would suggest a case of water and some protein bars, because like yourself I'm an EMT. I was coming home from work one morning and noticed a vehicle behind me swerving all over the road, until they ultimately hit a concrete median in the center lane of the road. I turned around in a parking lot, got to the vehicle and noticed the driver slumped behind the wheel. Lucky for me, this person was wearing a medical bracelet, which said they were a type 1 diabetic. Being myself diabetic, I took a glucometer reading and found he was dangerously low. I got him coherent enough to be able to get him to eat something, but all I had was a cliff bar to give him. Once he ate it, EMS was on scene and they got him taken care of.
If you dont mind me asking, did you have much trouble at all getting your emergency vehicle licensing whilst having diabetes? I'm only asking as I myself am trying to become a local volunteer EMT myself in New Zealand.
@@JonahZuzan Work cars are for this reason. Im sure they have unmarked work vehicles which have lights on them, he could drive around and take it to home but still this car which he shows in the video is his PERSONAL car not WORK car.
4:01 ... this must be an recuehammer made in Germany. The "GS" sign means "Geprüfte Sicherheit" = approved safty for the product itself. This label can be on much of different products, not only at tools.
I'd love to have a setup like that especially having a truck gun. However I drive to Canada alot, so its probably not a good idea too keep any kinds of weapons in the vehicle.
I’m i Utah and I got a pickup and I have a big toolbox in my truck bed I have a roadside kit you buy a costs or Walmart that’s got some stuff for roadside emergencies and first aid but I could probably use a better one and I got a bottle jack and a hi lift jack and a tow strap and fuel jug Incase I run out two sets of jumper cables , tie downs for when I haul stuff and a sledgehammer Incase I need it and lien 3 or 4 road flares and a tow chain and a big fire extinguisher and tools and some other stuff and in the cab I got a hi vise jacket I usually keep in there and down blankets and a spare sweatshirt and a brush and ice scraper combo thing idk what you call that and a second fire extinguisher and my ch radio so o can hear what’s happening up a head when I can’t get traffic off the radio when I scan get a radio single and a knife to cut my seat build Incase if a roll over and I think that’s it I might have some more stuff and I want to care a gun in my truck and I been thinking ether a shot gun or a ar rifle or something and storing it behind my back set is that a good idea ?
I wonder if you're a SWAT Paramedic and you're responding to a call do you get to drive with priority or not because those lights weren't equipped on your vehicle I believe. Also what kind of plate carrier is that? Love the video's!
You should consider a jump box, a good one will come with a light and air pump, also an extra large can of fix a flat. Great videos, new subscriber from the Raptor video.
I would also recommend to tape your license plate over next time, as we can clearly see what it says. Blurring doesn’t really do a good job, so just taping a piece of cardboard would work amazingly well
Depending on the accident it's far more likely it would just suffer cosmetic and maybe soon functional damage. Guns survive car accidents all the time. They also can handle diving, pressure, skydiving, and relatively extreme temperatures without a ND or some other sort of accident. My bet is it's more deadly as a projectile of it's own in a crash. But hes a professional who keeps his gear secured and ready for these situations.
My question is what happens to the rifle if you are on a backboard with a neck immobilizer in place, your vehicle had airbags deployed and is leaking fluids. It is going to be towed. You have contacts in the SO. I'm retired. Who or what agency takes the weapon and how do you get it back after you are evaluated and released from the ED?
Courtney minard maybe That’s good for him but if you’re a retired Army medic that keeps an At 15 in the backseat with my Medical bag, then it’s a different scenario. I would join the reserves but I’m fifty seven years old. I have already done 24 years on active duty and six in the Florida National Guard, so I think they just figure I'm too old. But I have been a PA-C for 30 years.
Ok .I'm new to this channel and so far i'm enjoying your videos but i'm still a little bit confused as to what you do or what your job is. I'm interested and just wondering. Do you work with the local police/ Sheriff's office or military? I heard in the video that you said you are some sort of reserve for the swat team and a medic for them. Why don't they give you a police car instead of you using your own car when you're on duty? anyways good luck on your channel man it's doing good so far!
I just found your Channel Very informative👍 I found it through the skinny Medic TH-cam channel. I have just one question did you ever Mount your rifle in the back seat securely I would like to see that Take care , Stay safe and healthy
I know this is an older video, but do you still use the clip-on plastic "rack" OR do you remember did it make alot of noise on rougher roads or off-road?
have you thought about switching the which is closer to the door of your car? your Rifle or your carrier? Im more thinking if you need your rifle fast you can get to it before you put armor on. IDK just a thought
in here i have my battle belt, my armor, my staff of justice, my rod of smite, my gask mask, a crowbar, a half eaten bologni sandwich, a pull up bar, 2 canteens of orange juice, a flux capacitor, and my backup knight armor. in the trunk of i have my battle axe, a sword of darkness, 3 silver bullets, a wooden steak, 6 wooden bullets, a wooden gun, a peg leg and a patch for my left eye.
underappreciated comment
And all of it without the look of wear and tear. What is it with the torch on the seat-mount with the opening towards the rifle. Bad setup, because its just made for the channel :)
One of the best comments I've seen on TH-cam. You should have said "a wooden steak, a wooden stake".. Just to confuse people.
you seem very calm and collected for being so young, most EDC/Tactical guys on YT seem to revel in displaying the ostentatious gear etc that we are led to believe we need despite the obvious potential to rack up debt. Your local community is fortunate to have you.
Agreed, check out ‘Canadian Prepper’, makes me embarrassed to be a Canadian …
He’s a swat medic. He has to be controlled. I am a retired paramedic of 40 years, I can tell he’s the kind of guy I would love to be partnered with

I’ve tried beef jerky and peanut butter for a car kit!
Aaron Phillips also he should put all his duty stuff on the drivers side for quick deployment and access for emergency situations
definitely, products such as mre’s and water bottles are a must have in my vehicle at all times
Well you’ll shit your way out off the blizzard with that flaming hot sauce
Cop: thinks he is pulling over an average guy
Looks In back seat
T-38 c 😂
T-38 c that’s right not a normal traffic stop.
normal traffic stop in southern states where guns are normal and not feared.
TripleAstyle1 A that depends on the individual with the gun but personally I’ve never had bad experiences
Wish I could do this in Illinois without risking going to jail

Good for you
Marc Bathon Thanks for your support.
I’ve often thought about buying a large guitar case for my rifle. I have pelican case and have traveled with my rifles in a traveling golf club case.
I just swapped out my 2017 Escape for a 2022 Tacoma.
Ran the Escape for 5 years. Not a bad car, a lot of internal space.
Great video. I’m looking at getting a molle backseat attachment and you gave me some great ideas. Thank you

I have gotten my old truck stuck because it was 2 wheel drive pulling a car out of a ditch and from that day forward I swore to myself even if it's a 4 wheel drive vehicle I'm never leaving without a shovel. I would suggest a case of water and some protein bars, because like yourself I'm an EMT. I was coming home from work one morning and noticed a vehicle behind me swerving all over the road, until they ultimately hit a concrete median in the center lane of the road. I turned around in a parking lot, got to the vehicle and noticed the driver slumped behind the wheel. Lucky for me, this person was wearing a medical bracelet, which said they were a type 1 diabetic. Being myself diabetic, I took a glucometer reading and found he was dangerously low. I got him coherent enough to be able to get him to eat something, but all I had was a cliff bar to give him. Once he ate it, EMS was on scene and they got him taken care of.
If you dont mind me asking, did you have much trouble at all getting your emergency vehicle licensing whilst having diabetes? I'm only asking as I myself am trying to become a local volunteer EMT myself in New Zealand.
Videos are great and keep it up dude
Thank you, sir.
Do you have emergency lights?
Fire Melon89 No
no its his personal car not work car
Fire Melon89 Nah,mate
He still should for if there’s a call to get to the station and through traffic, like a volunteer fire fighter
@@JonahZuzan Work cars are for this reason. Im sure they have unmarked work vehicles which have lights on them, he could drive around and take it to home but still this car which he shows in the video is his PERSONAL car not WORK car.
Hey, keep up the good videos
Great content as ever really do hope you become a whole lot bigger
Recommend Window Tint at least the back dark so no-one sees in
Enjoy the videos. Thanks for the info and ideas.
Quickly becoming my fav channel
Thank you!
4:01 ... this must be an recuehammer made in Germany. The "GS" sign means "Geprüfte Sicherheit" = approved safty for the product itself. This label can be on much of different products, not only at tools.
Thank you for your service
Thank you for this great video! More power!
Can you make a video about the homeland security and emergency management degree?
No he cant
He’s basicly doc from r6
Everyone's laughing at your mom van until the kids in the back start pulling out the ar-15s...
I'd love to have a setup like that especially having a truck gun. However I drive to Canada alot, so its probably not a good idea too keep any kinds of weapons in the vehicle.
I’m i Utah and I got a pickup and I have a big toolbox in my truck bed I have a roadside kit you buy a costs or Walmart that’s got some stuff for roadside emergencies and first aid but I could probably use a better one and I got a bottle jack and a hi lift jack and a tow strap and fuel jug Incase I run out two sets of jumper cables , tie downs for when I haul stuff and a sledgehammer Incase I need it and lien 3 or 4 road flares and a tow chain and a big fire extinguisher and tools and some other stuff and in the cab I got a hi vise jacket I usually keep in there and down blankets and a spare sweatshirt and a brush and ice scraper combo thing idk what you call that and a second fire extinguisher and my ch radio so o can hear what’s happening up a head when I can’t get traffic off the radio when I scan get a radio single and a knife to cut my seat build Incase if a roll over and I think that’s it I might have some more stuff and I want to care a gun in my truck and I been thinking ether a shot gun or a ar rifle or something and storing it behind my back set is that a good idea ?
Awesome vid man
Thank you!
I wonder if you're a SWAT Paramedic and you're responding to a call do you get to drive with priority or not because those lights weren't equipped on your vehicle I believe. Also what kind of plate carrier is that? Love the video's!
Who remember Mr. White's car in breaking bad?? This is the real life one.
Definition of a Ricky rescue
You should consider a jump box, a good one will come with a light and air pump, also an extra large can of fix a flat. Great videos, new subscriber from the Raptor video.
I’m interested in more details about the medical kit. I can’t find that condor bag online.
Much love from Iowa
Kitty litter n case you get stuck in snow as well as flares or emergency triangles to signal drivers
Liking the duty jacket bro should send me one lol jk unless you can haha, awesome video again keep em coming bud👍👍
I enjoyed watching it very detailed video, but I didn’t get one thing why paramedics carry rifle and why it says sherif on vest ? Thanks
He's a reserve sheriffs swat medic. Which means he could end up clearing houses and such....
You should also keep a lug wrench and two gallons of water in your vehicle.
Love your video ls
I'm not a medic, but I keep more medical gear in my kit than I know what to do with. Same thing for tools.
imagine like if he has kid and his friend is coming over and he gets in the back and he sees a AR-15
ILOVETHEOFFICE lel
Super excited for the literature review!!
I would also recommend to tape your license plate over next time, as we can clearly see what it says. Blurring doesn’t really do a good job, so just taping a piece of cardboard would work amazingly well
Btw the cover up doesn’t hide your Illinois license plate too well.
Jeff Bezos well so far no one has gotten it right and It isn’t Illinois 😂
PrepMedic Oh shoot it’s Michigan isn’t it
nope
It’s a Polk county Iowa plate. And I didn’t even pause the vid to read it
One question.. What happens to the rifle if you happen to get into an accident?
Depending on the accident it's far more likely it would just suffer cosmetic and maybe soon functional damage. Guns survive car accidents all the time. They also can handle diving, pressure, skydiving, and relatively extreme temperatures without a ND or some other sort of accident.
My bet is it's more deadly as a projectile of it's own in a crash. But hes a professional who keeps his gear secured and ready for these situations.
My question is what happens to the rifle if you are on a backboard with a neck immobilizer in place, your vehicle had airbags deployed and is leaking fluids. It is going to be towed. You have contacts in the SO. I'm retired. Who or what agency takes the weapon and how do you get it back after you are evaluated and released from the ED?
@@1dirkmanchest he's a reserve deputy so he could probably just go to the so when he can and collect it (I think)
Courtney minard maybe
That’s good for him but if you’re a retired Army medic that keeps an At 15 in the backseat with my Medical bag, then it’s a different scenario. I would join the reserves but I’m fifty seven years old. I have already done 24 years on active duty and six in the Florida National Guard, so I think they just figure I'm too old. But I have been a PA-C for 30 years.
Ok .I'm new to this channel and so far i'm enjoying your videos but i'm still a little bit confused as to what you do or what your job is. I'm interested and just wondering. Do you work with the local police/ Sheriff's office or military? I heard in the video that you said you are some sort of reserve for the swat team and a medic for them. Why don't they give you a police car instead of you using your own car when you're on duty? anyways good luck on your channel man it's doing good so far!
Actually have a video on it. th-cam.com/video/3m-Ml_dsjuE/w-d-xo.html
I
just found your Channel Very informative👍 I found it through the skinny Medic TH-cam channel.
I have just one question did you ever Mount your rifle in the back seat securely
I would like to see that
Take care ,
Stay safe and healthy
I know this is an older video, but do you still use the clip-on plastic "rack" OR do you remember did it make alot of noise on rougher roads or off-road?
can you do a video of the locking gun mount
Do you have a preferred brand of snow/ice chains or socks for your car that find are easy to install and work well? Thanks
Well you did not blur your license plate very well so now i know what your license plate looks like
Love the insight. Quick question, is there a reason you don't have any gloves anywhere?
Where do you keep your mix CDs, empty coffee cups and old receipts?
Thank for sharing.
2005 Ford Escape Hybrid here
I would add a headlamp.
HOP785?
Might want to change it.
Did you ever get that locking mount for the rifle?
House Tour!
Is the blaze defense system safe enough to place inside the car？ As it can reach over 50℃ under sun exposure.
Good knowledge
Can you explain what reserve swat is im interested in it and cant find much info on it
I’ve seen you in action leeroy. The whole department has. Lol they said no thank you. Jk!
Reserve basically means they are always on stand-by. Similar with a reserve deputy/officer, they only get called out if they need more manpower
Can you please make a video on how a JUMP BAG is set out for idea use. Please
It's funny how your vest is wearing a seatbelt,Safety first! 😂
Iowa gang😤
Nice video
Poor dead kitten getting all cold.
Where is the black container from?
is the weather better in Colorado???
I would suggest adding a knife or bladed tool to your car
Bro.
How many weeks you need train to be SWAT??
Thanks.
have you thought about switching the which is closer to the door of your car? your Rifle or your carrier? Im more thinking if you need your rifle fast you can get to it before you put armor on. IDK just a thought
I like the rifle there because I can get it from the front seat or the back.
What brand and model of gas mask are you issued ?
You didn't blur your liscense plate very well. Just sayin
Have you considered carrying road flares, backup cell phone, and emergency blankets in you are involved in or come across an road traffic collision?
I'd suggest you learn basic auto maintenance. And carry a jump pack to jump start yourself if needed. The Escape has a weak battery.
