    When I travel big distances I carry a thin wool blanket(wet and wrap if in bush fire), cotton sarongs,triangle bandages, pegs(big ones), a queen sized flat sheet, roll of rope, fold up shovel, tea light candles, cat biscuits and a pillow case for animal rescues, powdered milk, raw oats, tea and sugar in a Billy with matches, plus water (lots), fuel, oil, fan belt. I’ve traveled through the Australian Central landscape for many years in really old cars. Always carry stuff, rarely ever needed to use it. It just makes you feel a bit safer hey. Really enjoy your content love, thanks❤

      Wow Martha you are well prepared. I’m impressed! If I was travelling through Australia I think I’d have the same (+ a flamethrower for the spiders 😂). Having some essential supplies in your car is something everyone should do. I’m sure most people don’t even have a bottle of water. Thank you my friend, I appreciate that. Take care and have a great weekend 🙏🏼😊👍🏼

    Really cool film Jono with some good and sound advice mate 👌🏻
    A good kit but could probably make your own for a lot less cash 💰
    As you mentioned
    Best wishes Simon 👍🤠

    Nice vid Greeklish - lots of practical info in here. Thankfully I only have to worry about badgers and foxes - not bears and wolves!

      Thank you Russell. 😁 Yes I miss the days of being out in the UK and having just foxes 🦊 and badgers 🦡 Have a great weekend my friend, Jono 😊

    Please carry a blanket, 1st aid kit, flashlight, food, chafing fuel, etc in your vehicle! Stay well :)

      Yes that’s great advice. I always have my EDC bag with me containing all those things 👍🏼 Many people don’t prepare well enough. Thanks and take care 😊👍🏼

      ​@@GreeklishOutdoorsI know you don't live in America but I would have a handgun or rifle in the truck too for self defense or both for that matter

      Yes that’s a good idea. I wish I could do that too. Unfortunately I don’t have a license for a firearm (not a Greek citizen yet), so I’m limited to air guns. But I do carry one of those with me and a few mini fireworks (🧨) as a deterrent.😊👍🏼

    It is wrong to think that bars will make you feel full. They do provide enough energy, but you still feel hungry, because when your stomach is full, its stretch receptors send signals to the brain that you are full, even if it is just water. And if there is not enough substance in the stomach, the stomach signals the brain that you are hungry.
    After 1-3 days, the stomach begins to contract and then requires smaller amounts of food to satisfy the feeling of hunger.

    • @GreeklishOutdoors

      I think that because they are dense, compressed and dry, they expand in your stomach and give the feeling of fullness. That’s what I found when eating them and why I chose to eat only one bar at a time. Maybe then I’d need to eat more regularly to keep the feeling of being full. I’m not sure what I’d feel like if I had to have them for an extended period. Definitely fine for a couple of days, boring for sure, but I’d be alive and have energy. 😊👍🏼

    I understand what you're doing with this video, but I've spent many a night in the cold in my pickup truck with only a bottle of water and a blanket. Those "survival" kits are a joke. Keep a bottle of water, a blanket, a candle, and as any man would carry, a pocket knife and a lighter. It's so easy to survive, we take it for granted. Don't be a sissy and drive a Chevy.

    • @GreeklishOutdoors

      Yes I’ve done the same and had miserable nights. But not everyone can just tough it out. I wouldn’t say these kits are a joke. Yes they could have more in them, but they are a good starting point. For those who don’t know anything about prepping or survival, it’s a good morale boost. Especially if you’ve broken down and remember you have this in your vehicle. It could mean the difference between life and death for someone, if only for the Mylar blanket, water and food. Yes you should definitely have more than this kit with you (especially in winter)…. Not all of us have access (especially in Europe) to big Chevy. In fact, with how much they cost to fill up over here, I probably couldn’t afford to get into the mountains in the first place. All the best 😊👍🏼
