    I’m a female with a back injury. I know my limitations. I’m not able to carry anything heavy. After mapping out my walking distance from work (14 hours, through bad neighborhoods) I started carrying cargo pants in my get home bag. This will help distribute weight. Also hoping I can conceal my vital tools if I’m approached. Thank you for the videos.

      Tracy, I understand your problem. I'm in a similar situation as I am elderly and have some age related issues. When I put together a comprehensive get home backpack, it was much heavier than I expected. I had difficulty just picking it up and putting it on my back. I quickly realized that it just wasn't going to work for me. My solution was to put together a get home survival vest in conjunction with a pair of cargo pants. I used an inexpensive fishing vest as the basis for the survival vest. I carefully went through the contents of my get home backpack, eliminating any "nice to have" items and replacing heavier items with lighter options whenever feasible. I pack a fire kit, water kit, IFAK, Swiss Army Knife, and change of socks in the cargo pants, so I will have them on me in case I lose the vest. I'm using a Wazoo Cache Belt, which is similar to a money belt in that it has a long compartment built in the belt that contains a variety of survival items. Instead of a handkerchief, I carry two folded bandanas, one in each of the back pockets in the pants. I wear a compass on my watch band. I wear a "dog tag" necklace under my shirt that includes a red medical ID tag that has information on my medical conditions and allergies. Also on this necklace is a small flashlight, whistle, and two medium-sized safety pins. I wear a Wazoo Cache Hat baseball type cap. It has several small compartments that contain "boo boo" first aid items. This solution distributes the weight you are carrying over a greater portion of your body than just a pack on your back. The vest also helps in concealing the 2A "freedom tool" I carry. This has worked for me.

    Cary two heavy duty black construction bags in your bug out bag. They don’t take up much space. If you need to cross a body of water like a river reservoir etc to maintain stealth you can place one bag inside the other trap the bags half full of air and tie the ends separately. You can strip down to your skivvies place your pack and clothes on top of the make shift raft. Carry a length of para chord to tie to your raft then make a loop and drape across your shoulders like a sling to tow the raft behind you. The bags can also be used for shelter Or ponchos as well.

    Just some feedback on the maps - i purchased laminated maps for all states that I have to travel through or across plus, i keep a US road atlas. even if i am not driving, i might get stranded and need to walk back. i never go on a business trip without them. I also have my old school GPS. the battery doesnt work but, if there is any source of electricity, it can still be used because, the satellites will still be in orbit. i will not count on my phone being available. The Going Home book series by A. American (Chris Weatherman) was a great callout. I think that we all have to remember one important thing - you cannot prepare for everything and you cannot prepare for the apocolypse. Do what you can to survive to the utmost of your ability and practice execution. I appreciate your work, Don. Been watching your content for years.

    I have to interject here about compass use. No, you can't just accept that the needle points North, because it does not point to true North! It points to Magnetic North which slowly changes position in North Eastern Northern Canada. You have to find out the degree difference in the magnetic declination and adjust the little screw on the better compasses to allow for the declination or you could be off your bearing by as much as 22 degrees! I was a pathfinder using the compass for a few years in the Army before the GPS. I also was in mining exploration in the Arctic for years and used a compass for navigation and marking mining claims. So, go ahead and prove me wrong on this point, if you can!

    According to a defense department person known to some people I know, Russia may use an EMP attack before and maybe immediately before a nuclear attack to strand people in the cities and military bases to do more damage. He said to watch for the Chinese officials in this country and the Chinese who are buying properties by military bases, they may leave before this happens via the Russians notifying Beijing before an event happens. The Russians may evacuate Moscow beforehand or do a “practice” (as a ruse) evacuation in their major cities-especially Moscow. I love your program!

      They will not evacuate Moscow, not warn expatriates ahead of time. These are people who have murdered tens of millions of their own people. They do not care about their own population, so they will never risk their chance of a successful attack or their own safety by putting out such an obvious warning of their intentions. An escalation of tensions will be our only warning, right before a series of EMP attacks.

    When I've done ultra marathons and 10k etc, I set a goal if I have a plan of the route. I might push myself to go first 5 miles with no breaks, then see if there's a natural place to stop and recoup, like a post office, bridge, school. If travelling through the night, I might want to reach the back packers by 9pm, then leave at first light. I did this twice on Mount Fuji.
    I implore everyone to get some really good marathon socks with silver in them, they help prevent blisters. Also, get a good pair of boots, and break them in. I go through a lot of trousers and jeans where my chubby tights rub together. It hurts like he'll if you rub through a pair of jeans around the inner tight, it's like a rope burn. So I suggest a change of trousers, plasters (band aids) and dressings, and spare socks.
    I recommend packing high calorie food, coconut water and electrolytes drinks.

    We tend to think about what we will do to get home when we are 200 miles from home (or whatever). But if we look at the most likely scenario, it will be gettin from work to home. I’m semi-retired, but if I go to town for groceries I am 18 miles from home. If I just pack the day pack I have in my truck with a bit of food and 6-7 bottles of water, I can make it home in 8-9 hours. Yes…I have a bin in my truck with hiking boots, summer/winter clothing, everything I need. So do the math for your most likely scenario.

    The cramping at the range was not from dehydration. It was from the loss of electrolytes. My zero water filter recommends using a pinch of Himalayan salt in each glass of water to avoid losing too many electrolytes (It takes out the good along with the bad.) This salt has more electrolyte minerals than just sodium chloride. This is why you should have salt tablets in your bag.

    If you are truly prepared, you need no food for at least two weeks if you have about 20% body fat or more. I wouldn't carry food, it's dead weight, and completely unnecessary. Doubling up on water would always get you further in every situation.
    That's in my humble opinion. Prepare your body by doing fasting. It's health benefits are amazing while you practice, and in times where food my be inaccessible, it makes it easier to focus on going forward rather than worry about prep.
    If ounces are pounds when it comes to walking, by fasting, you'd likely be ten to fifteen pound lighter in fat by the time you reach your destination. That seems huge.

    I have been stuck overseas on business during the SARS disease outbreak, that closed all travel from that place (as it was a hot spot) and to my home for > 6 weeks. So as I was also on an island all I could do was bunker in and watch out exposures in that local environment. Actually when I was leaving the local immigration folk we upset that I had exceeded my planned time at that place, but fortunately that was worked through ok.
    Sooch, what you are showing is more often what you could/would take on a planned hike, rather than during an emergency situation.e.g. the number of fire starting options. Sure a backup is good and looking at my own stuff I have several of these cases myself, that I have to address.

If you're going to use only a tarp for shelter, you must have a mosquito net of some sort so you can rest. Really have to adjust bag for the distance your expecting. Short bag could have fancy cooking gear and MREs, while a long bag needs more survival gear like hunting, fishing, and light weight food to supplement the days you can't find a food source.

    Another light weight stove to look at that doesn’t involve carrying a fuel cartridge is the solo stove. It has a low visual flame output at night. Will boil a quart of water just using twigs and pine needles etc in 4 minutes and will provide a source of warmth. It’s a gasifier system so little to no smoke is produced. If worried about light security dig a deep enough hole and place it down inside and no one will see the light coming from it.

    Line your pack with a contractor bag. Put your pack in a 55gal drum liner. Inflate another for a float. 1cubic foot of air supports 52#. And pack your gear in dry sacks for easy sorting and unpacking. you'll need dry kit after a water crossing. Unless you want to use a pool float.😆

    I carry a thick sea thru (clear) shower curtain linet for a shelter and sometimes a tarp with it.
    I feel the same way about sleeping in a tent or even with a tarp over me. That I can't see if anyone is sneaking up on me.
    If I use the shower curtain liner and a tarp The tarp will be against a wall and the shower curtain liner will be facing the direction that someone can sneak up on me
    Plus shower curtain liners are cheap. Of course I get thick or heavy duty one has gromet Holes

      Yeah I recently started backpacking. Ounces are pounds and pounds are pain. I'm no thru hiker, but it does make you think about what you really really actually need. I mean yeah an extra 3 days worth of clothes would be nice, but seriously, they are heavy and bulky, and you won't die without them. Instead you should carry layers that you can add if it does actually get cold. But even for a 10-day trip, if you had maybe another pair of undergarments, and a few pairs of socks, you could combine that with some clothing repair skills and go a lot farther and for way less weight.

    • @nightshadefern162

      @@thewatcher611 Most of the through hikers I encountered had no extra clothes- just what they wore. Maybe a spare light jacket or something to slip on while they were washing the only set. Socks are not part of that equation. Some had a pair of flip flops or thin water shoes for around camp so they weren’t stuck in their hiking shoes. I ran across one guy who was going three weeks between food drops. Three weeks of food was more than his pack could contain, so he carried a five gallon bucket for the excess. He made it too- Georgia to Maine. The bucket was carried the entire trip. Pretty impressive.

    When Robbie said about being caught on a bridge it sure rang true. I live oitside Pittsburgh. There are over 446 bridges in the area and lots of tunnels. The Allegheny is on one side, the Monogahela on the other side which turn into Ohio. I have had to think long and hard how I would escape this area to get to my other location in Ohio. We are TRAPPED unless you have a boat on the river. Once, because of a truck accident. I was stuck in one of the tunnels and it was terrifying.

    I share the same problem, I drive over the road. If things when sideways I could be 30 to 60 days of walking from home. I carry an ILBE with a couple weeks of emg rations and freeze dried food. Got gear necessary for sleeping, hunting, water purifier. Have to stay to back country, and scavenge what I can. There are no easy options. I have solar charging, gps, and rechargeable lights. The driving coast to coast does give me the opportunity to scout routes, rivers, and passes.

And my dog. Who was half timber wolf and Belgium Shepard. That's all I would carry and I survived. I didn't need all those other things, the only food I took with me was a few tins of sardines Incase I couldn't catch fish or small game. Oh, and I can't forget my trusty sling shot that came in very handy. And water canteen. Palco, boy scout canteen and mess kit. But my pack weighed about 20 lbs.and I could carry it all day long.

    My only issue with hammocks is this… in the winter time bridges ice over before roads do. That’s because the weather is getting to it from under it as well as on top of it. Same way with hammocks. I feel like you would struggle a lot more to stay warm. Sleeping on the ground is the best way to stay warm in my opinion. You can dig out the ground a little bit to keep the wind off of you a little better if you’re not sleeping under some kind of shelter or in a tent and you can sleep on some kind of insulation and trap your body heat and your body heat will also warm the ground your sleeping on. Idk how many of you actually camp in tents and stuff but they trap heat super well.
