You lost me after you said you'd wait 24 hours to approach the house. You stated civil unrest exists, you're trying to get home to your family and gear. Now you've been missing for 24 hours and your family doesn't know where you are or what happened to you. Civil unrest is escalating and your family is home alone without you. You don't have time to wait 24 hours with increasing fatigue dehydration and hunger. Let alone your family may end up doing something rash and they leave and you have no idea where they went. Sorry just my opinion I'm not an expert but in that situation time is of the essence.
I guess that's why making a contingency plan ahead of time would be great. I'd tell my family to stay home no matter what and wait it out where we have food and water and heat etc. Last thing I'd want to do is go out and travel if I'm already home when shtf.
That was one of my first thoughts also. My first thought was getting hijacked? I would've used my firearm to prevent the car jack, hopefully. Then, I'm not waiting 24 hours, i'm wanting, no, needing to get home ASAP.
Yes, I agree. Also, car jacking? Nope. Doors locked, carry everyday. If shit is getting that bad, u stay close to home base and go out in pairs with a bag on you. Most car jackers won't care if u grab ur bag, especially if you are a woman. They want the car and possibly cash.
Exactly this guy is a complete fool regardless. So he's just going to sit and watch a house for 24hours what happens if it rains or snows seriously WTF man.
Well looking at this from the property owners eyes imagine if it was your property in the same scenario things would be different so now it has you stealing things that aren’t yours what’s next?
Sounds like u afraid of death, u live to comfortable to survive this type of scenario. He never said rob someone for their valuables he's just saying if u need it and they left it behind...
The idea is to do what you gotta do to survive. You gotta take chances or die from starvation/dehydration. I assume that is the point. Or he'd just go home. Hes on foot, maybe 100 miles out, who knows.
Just a point of note from a former Marine, after you get yourself hydrated and decide you’re going to stay for a bit, take the opportunity to rinse out and dry your socks and footwear if possible. Your feet are extremely important to your survival.
Yup, saw a post recently about five abandoned structures some guy bought in the MFN and the question was "What would you do if you came across this in shtf?" Strip the whole damn thing and gtfo haha.
Could you show all the stuff in your pockets at the beginning so we know what you have or put it in the descriptions. For Eg. Flashlight, multitool, Length of Paracord you have on you, Etc. Thanks.
I’m amazed at how many people talk about this type of situation but don’t have a fix a flat in their car and have bald tires on their SUV in the winter. So just make sure you are prepared for the day to day things along with the SHTF situation.
Another good example is people driving away from their house in the snow without a jacket wearing flip flops. I spend my days preaching to people to be ready for the day to day. Along with having fun thinking about when shtf.
We are talking about survival here. Being on the side of the freeway is a really good way to die. Do everything you can to not be outside a car on the side of a freeway. Including driving on a flat tire for miles. I can change a tire. I chose to value my life. So I connect the slime repair kit and start it. Then step to the protected side of the car away from the road till it is done. Then disconnect it and drive to a parking lot to finish the repair. This is the safest way. I really don’t care if the tire repair shop doesn’t like their job.

Why the F would you be stationary anywhere for 24 hours in a SHTF scenario? That's idiotic. Spend that 24 hours getting your ass closer to home. A quick recon may be necessary, but take advantage of opportunities along the way as you're moving. I don't even know what the rest of the video was about - you lost me there.
You started off saying you would consider going into that structure if the weather was bad or you were injured; if either were bad enough to cause you to seek shelter instead of making your way home, then scoping the place from the woods for 24 hours would likely kill you.
No doubt. He should have had enough in his pockets to not need to break into a house in the first place. And why is water such a concern if you’re out running errands? You would be maximum 8 hours walking to your house, unless you live in a big city, commuting 2 hours to work, in which case your best prep would be to consolidate your life a little, and get out of the globalist death trap that is a large city.
Good info and thanks. As for using a glass bottle to boil water, hang it above the fire to avoid thermal shock to the glass. With the rocket stove, they become extremely efficient once the flue heats up. Be careful with cinder blocks, though. Build a low fire for a while first to dry them out as you don't know how much residual moisture they hold. Steam pockets in the porous cement can be a hazard and cause the blocks to crack. Alternately, make the flue taller, if possible or move the fire back from the flue and more in the combustion chamber (fire box) to further avoid thermal shock to glass. You need the heat from coals to cook or boil with not so much flame - more heat and less smoke if you maintain a good coal bed even when adding new DRY fuel a bit at a time. Cheers from Alberta, Canada.
wait 24h what is that bs seriously, and if you need to go in another one you are going to wait 24h also ? i know that rule and its mostly used by homeless people trying to find a new squat, that's not our situation in shtf.
One of my biggest fears living and working in the SF Bay Area is being stuck on the other side of the bay when SHTF. I know I can hike the 30-60 mile distance home for 2-3 days but I need to cross a big body of water. Crossing a bridge like the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge (4.6 mi.) or Hayward-San Mateo Bridge (7 mi.) feels like a death trap. Maybe you can touch on this topic.
Same situation in Portland where my husband works. Our plan is to get to the river as soon as possible and steal a small boat or negotiate a ride with someone else crossing.... Not the best plan but it should hopefully work.....? The key would be to do it quickly before things fall apart too much.
If you have a decent electric scooter or bicycle you could be home in less than 6 hours. Get one with a range of 60 miles (yes - they are available), and keep it charged. Plus, as an extra benefit, a scooter or bike can outrun criminals that want to hurt you, rob you, or steal your scooter/bike. Plus, never vote for a Democrat. They keep you unarmed and helpless against thugs. At the very least you can carry some pepper spray and a good ass-beater billy club for protection.
🤣 I love the cameraman he is a fucking trip! And his Spanish is on point, im sure he has knocked down some doors in his life. Good stuff guys I appreciate it.
Very informative and still entertaining. If I had to nit pick, I would have liked to see what was in your EDC right from the beginning. Thanks for putting this together.
I'm old and expendable. I've been training to be bait for a defensive assault. I'll be driving a ice cream truck 2 clicks ahead of my team and detonate upon contact with the zombies
Ok, many good tips including the rocket stove. That said, I understood the premise to be a sudden collapse with transport car/truckjacked ~ 30 miles from home. Then it turns into a permanent home thing. So here is what I find 'wrong' and believe me I am no Corporal's Corner, Coalcracker etc.... You get an F! Here's why... 30 miles from home? You KNOW where you are. You know where sources of water are. Getting home should be priority one, not dinking around on property that isnt yours, where you either get caught, or killed. Stupid. Yes, move by night. Yes move inside tree lines. There should be tons of fresh water around you in greenery like that. Better to filter from a stream than get killed McGivering a well dipper.... get your ADHD in check and get home. The point about canabalism; dont under play that.... hungry people will eat anything....Another reason to get home.... I have run Marathons 26 mi.... should be home in 30 hours worst case. Your actual case might be a trucker, whose truck was stolen.... a much better case for your story.... now THAT would make a great topic.
This is the kind of survival stuff EVERYONE needs to see. Realistic. Hide your gear outside somewhere at first to prevent it being robbed if there is someone hiding inside.
This is why having a properly set up Altoids possibles tin in your pocket is a good idea. A a decent zip lock bag and good quality puritabs are permanently resident in mine. Along with needles, thread, a small lighter, band aids, a couple of co-codamol tablets, aspirin, fish hooks, some light cordage and a couple of flame extenders. Before anyone comments: That list has been developed the hard way over a number of years.
Unless you are carrying the aspirin for personal medical reasons I would rather carry acetaminophen (Tylenol) or Mobic. Tylenol also serves as an anti pyretic, and Mobic is convenient because its a once daily dose generally. Aspirin lowers your ability to clot by impairing thromboxane a2 synthesis. In a disaster scenario bleeding is bad. Whats worse is not being able to stop bleeding.
I agree. I'm a small female, so I edc a 9mm s&w ez shield, a gerber(like a leatherman) and an extra pouch for a 2nd clip. I carry a military style bag instead of a purse, with 3 days of very basic supplies for 2 people, including life straw/food tablets/protein bars. It's not that much for the size bag I carry and only weighs about 12 lbs. Everyone in my family thought I was nuts, until we broke down in the mountains with no cell reception for 12 miles. Then they were glad I had brought enough for everyone. Lol
I noticed that too. I also couldn't help but think he could put together a satchel or pack with the materials from the first building alone. And there was still another large building right behind it. I also saw the potential walking stick/spear from the items there. Not the best weapon, but better than nothing.
The show was both educational and entertaining. The cameraman was a distraction and was trying too hard to be funny. Please make more videos, but find a quiet cameraman.
Two of my favorite people on earth! I love the variety of seriousness, mixed in with a good ole crap myself laughter! Love what yall do, the knowledge you pass along and the experiences you share here! Thanks fellas!
I enjoy most of your videos. However I do not see this being a realistic scenario. Even during civil unrest you would be wise to try and purchase some water, ask for some water, or even Steal some water from a convenience store or somewhere similar. Every person has his or her own goals. But my personal goals as a person who works away from home is to get home as fast as I can.
@tvercetti1 I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing this out. I was working in Kentucky at the time. It was freezing there and meanwhile my family was enjoying 60° temps and sunshine
Micro politics is a really good thing to study. The skills needed to get 30-50 strangers to work together is not intuitive. But if you can get them organized you will be much safer than being alone.
If you are sitting on your butt playing recon for 24 hours during the early days after shtf instead of hoofing it towards home, without even knowing if there is anything in there to help you survive, you are doing it wrong. Entertaining to watch, but not exactly practical advice.
In my opinion getting home quick is the priority. Stopping off here and there will get you killed. Just move quick and if possible at night. Waiting 24hrs to enter your home is also no ideal. Others could be waiting on you
waiting 24 hours seems a bit over kill... What if you're waiting a whole 24 hours and someone else who is also scavenging just walks into the building hour 9 hr of ur 24 hrs ..... He now has first dibs on found gear...
I respect you folks and your skills but wasting 24 hours where a stealthy recon of the area for materials and finding a running water source in such a green environment would surely be a better use of your time and allow you to stay on the move? I would have definitely taken an hour to recce exfiltration routes and used the tree line to approach the building, if possible I'd have waited until dusk to see if any lights came on or after 3am to use darkness to cover my movements at a time when humans are at their least alert plus allowing darkness to cover my withdrawal and then move quickly in daylight and spot any pursuit. Time on target leaves you vulnerable to detection by occupants or other passing foragers like the group who hijacked you in the first place. This is especially true when working alone as you cannot post a lookout/sentry. Bucket pack, wire, materials, some rope, maybe dry tinder if it's wet and back on the trail home. Just an opinion based on experience and training, I mean no disrespect gentlemen.
I picked this tip up from someone who experienced the LA riots in the early 90s. If you have to hunker down to avoid social unrest in the Metro environment, one of the safest places to go is to libraries or bookstores
Love the scavenging , stove and other ideas, good stuff! That said if I did loose my vehicle and get home bag and 30 miles away from my family my focus would be to hoof it to them and scavenge on the move and be to them and my gear within that 24!hrs or less. If I was further away I’d still scavenge on the move .
Boiling water for one minute will kill all pathogens, but unfortunately it will not remove toxic chemicals. So this method is applicable only when you collect the water from a running stream that typically contains a vast amount of water, to make sure that toxins are very diluted and will not harm you in the short-term.
It looks very funny, but in reality you just make a very serious point, which is why I keep washing you always thank you very much guys God bless you always and América
Nobody is going to wait 24 hours. If times are really that dangerous you need to get home to your family fast. To me this is a situation where you Don't have anyone else depending on you, home is a very long distance away so you can take your time. A lot of great advice for that scenario.
Awesome vid guys. Like Angery Americans books, please describe the edc tool youre using (brand, model, etc) What kind of flashlight were you using? What model Leatherman? Lighter? Etc. More like this!
I look at it this way... Regardless of scenario they give you you're always going to want to think outside the box. Survival mode has been activated and poop has hit the fan. Regardless if you're by yourself or regardless if you're by yourself and your having to get to someone you love or maybe you don't have anyone that you are returning home to... oh perhaps you're leaving your home and you're on the run because there is chaos everywhere and you just cannot stay where you are at at the time... Whatever the scenario put your self in his shoes and think of what things you would do in that situation at that given time. But look at it in all revenues... For instance look for items Jared. what would you look for and how would you do utilize those items but also what is your mental state? What are you thinking about ....what is the scenario at play... and the level of your fear Meter, because let me tell you if your mental state is a little whack and off it's going to affect your actions and your way of thinking. That might help you for the next 24 to 72 hours? What is that hand tool you had that you said you are allowed to carry with you?
*PREPPER PRO TIP: BE the EDC* *From the habit of always wearing at least 4 average size pockets on all your pants/shorts because you may need to become a "gray-man" by emptying everything from an EDC into your pockets. Examples: Container (collapsible water bottle), Combustion (lighter), Cutting (multi-tool), Cordage (paracord), Covering (55 gallon 3mil plastic drumliner/lawn bag), Candle-light (headlamp flashlight).*
“Abandoned structures” are still owned by someone and should NOT be used during a shtf situation. I know you made the video with permission or you own the land. You have no business trespassing anytime……you will almost always find more trouble then you want.
Your first priority isn't water, it's planning: where are you, how far is home, how long does it take to get home and how can you create shelter if you need to rest over night. You'll be fine for water for a day or two but you can die from exposure in one night (climate depending). Water is priority 2. Checking the lights is not a great idea. Spending as little time in buildings as possible, never enter a building you don’t know how to get out of. Complete a perimeter search first and plan your exit. Set up your bucket, shelter and fire etc in a concealed outdoor location. You have to keep moving toward you destination, scoping out a building for 24hrs is wasting your precious time and energy. The initial premise is to get home to your family and gear. In an ever escalating collapse situation you are up against an ever escalating situation...24hrs is a long time to be waiting. You demonstrated ideas based on survival in a location where as the primary objective is travel. Use that tyre iron to score the brick first before striking it, strike it with the sharp tip and keep it vertical, this gives higher pressure and less force which equals less noise. Carrying that tyre iron is awkward, heavy and with limited uses, the objective should be to avoid confrontation so retaining it as a weapon is not a priority. A tyre iron is only good for close quarters, if you come across a person close enough to fight you are also close enough to run. If you stay and fight you risk injury, not smart and if you come across anyone with a ranged weapon, you’re screwed anyway. Carrying a tyre iron in this scenario brands you instantly hostile, better to appear passive and catch them off guard when the time is right. Leave the tyre iron, it’s useless. I enjoyed the effort you guys put into this video. Edit: typos and PS: if you want to use a glass bottle to boil water, put it in a dish full of sand, it will provide better heat distribution and not as harsh as raw flame. Wrapping it in clay will work also.
OK, from the outset, when you set up the possible scenario, stating some of the possible parameters, you said you might be possibly injured (perhaps not critically/severely) and the weather could possibly be cold or raining (you didn't mention snowing, but who knows). This opening scenario could negate ALL of your ideas of scouting out the structures and force you to approach and enter in order to JUST SURVIVE. Your ideas are sound ASSUMING everything is pretty much perfect and you have the luxury of surveilling your target for this extended period. All in all, this is an informative video. Should make you think...it does me.
WOW, I got 3 minutes in, and can’t watch any more.. I had the same thoughts as others.. I was puzzled by the “I got car jacked”, because like others have said, why are your doors unlocked? Why are you not CCW? I was also puzzled by the #1 priority is to get home to my gear, and to avoid buildings at all costs… but IF you were injured or if it was extreme weather, a structure could be a good option? Ok (granted)…. BUT this guy lost me when he said he’d sit and observe the property for 24 hours first? If you’re injured or it’s extreme weather, the entire premise of seeking immediate shelter is negated if you are gonna sit in someone’s yard for 24 hours first…. If you can wait to sit in someone’s yard for 24 hours, wouldn’t you rather just make your way closer to home? Also, if someone is staking out my house, I’ll have watches set, and if it’s SHTF, they’re likely to get shot by sitting in my tree line for 24 hours. So many things wrong (contradictions) with this entire approach…. Shaking my head.. I had high hopes when I saw the decent production value of the intro…
5.15 Jason releases the final seal of the Apocalypse. All hell and its demons are free to roam the Earth.... 😳 as Alan shakes his head no and videos. Great guys..... 🙄 And why are all of Jason's scenarios involving him buck naked and Alan videoing? As the Chinese would say "Summ-Teeng-Whong".... 🤨 Great Video guys. 🤣🤣🤣 You 2 are hilarious! And somewhat educational indeed! 😃 I'd love to be on your team but Alan's contract needs reworked. He's too lazy. 🤣🤣🤣
I think first aide or medical kit should be added to your food fire water shelter but what do I know. Great job on your video. Never thought about looking for a well. I’m so busy storing. Scouting out water sources is a new thing for me. I think I’ll try to locate some wells before they are needed. Thanks.
You're injured and its pouring rain. Wait 24 hours? Ever hear of hypothermia? Go sneaking around the perimeter and try to "aquire" tools? You'd be having to deal with a REAL injury if you were in my neck of the woods. Real bad info. Real bad. Come up the driveway with your hands empty. Knock on the front door. Act like you aren't one of the peaceful protesters and you are far more likely to get aid from the owners.
I had forgotten how much I loved Alan's commentary. Stumbled upon this going down a TH-cam rabbit hole. My family are peppers, but it's always nice to have more ideas/know how.
You need to filter your water through more material, as much as possible, to remove more of the pesticides and chemicals that boiling does not remove or neutralize. Filter Filter Filter, then boil.
If you’re in need of shelter you’re not going to have 24hrs to stake out the place. Maybe you can wait till dusk and carefully approach the building but in a storm, rain or snow or whatever you have where you live, you won’t have a lot of time to waste. Priority is shelter in inclement weather. Cool video though. Lots of good ideas.
I;m not waiting 24 hours. Thats 24 hours of traveling. If anything, I would lay up during the day and travel at night. staying close to the road but not on the road.

Yes this is how canning works!! My thought as well
Never consider drinking water that is to close to a cemetery, to many chemicals in that water especially embalming fluid and other chemicals as well

Yeah, I was hoping he'd cover how he sheltered and survived the (presumably cold) night while he watched the building for 24 hours.
This is like Fallout the Home Game, complete with silly jokes and potential gourmands. Looking forward to the next part.
🤣
@Pugna says the person who knows what I'm talking about 🤣
I want to make your stove. Do u have a video on the block stove.
this video just goes to prove a proper edc kit can make or break in hard times. layer your gear and have multiple ways of gaining what you need.
No doubt. He should have had enough in his pockets to not need to break into a house in the first place. And why is water such a concern if you’re out running errands? You would be maximum 8 hours walking to your house, unless you live in a big city, commuting 2 hours to work, in which case your best prep would be to consolidate your life a little, and get out of the globalist death trap that is a large city.
Good info and thanks. As for using a glass bottle to boil water, hang it above the fire to avoid thermal shock to the glass. With the rocket stove, they become extremely efficient once the flue heats up. Be careful with cinder blocks, though. Build a low fire for a while first to dry them out as you don't know how much residual moisture they hold. Steam pockets in the porous cement can be a hazard and cause the blocks to crack. Alternately, make the flue taller, if possible or move the fire back from the flue and more in the combustion chamber (fire box) to further avoid thermal shock to glass. You need the heat from coals to cook or boil with not so much flame - more heat and less smoke if you maintain a good coal bed even when adding new DRY fuel a bit at a time. Cheers from Alberta, Canada.
Wait 24 hours no food no water before you approach are you kidding me
Boiling water with hot rocks in a wide-mouth glass jar would work also.
Tap the lines that you want the block to break on several times before you hit it hard. Just a tip
LIMPETSSSS
wait 24h what is that bs seriously, and if you need to go in another one you are going to wait 24h also ? i know that rule and its mostly used by homeless people trying to find a new squat, that's not our situation in shtf.
One of my biggest fears living and working in the SF Bay Area is being stuck on the other side of the bay when SHTF. I know I can hike the 30-60 mile distance home for 2-3 days but I need to cross a big body of water. Crossing a bridge like the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge (4.6 mi.) or Hayward-San Mateo Bridge (7 mi.) feels like a death trap. Maybe you can touch on this topic.
Same situation in Portland where my husband works. Our plan is to get to the river as soon as possible and steal a small boat or negotiate a ride with someone else crossing.... Not the best plan but it should hopefully work.....? The key would be to do it quickly before things fall apart too much.
Take BART?
@@juliabrown5948 folding kayak, oru.
If you have a decent electric scooter or bicycle you could be home in less than 6 hours. Get one with a range of 60 miles (yes - they are available), and keep it charged. Plus, as an extra benefit, a scooter or bike can outrun criminals that want to hurt you, rob you, or steal your scooter/bike. Plus, never vote for a Democrat. They keep you unarmed and helpless against thugs. At the very least you can carry some pepper spray and a good ass-beater billy club for protection.
From theory...to application.
Tks! This helps. A lot.
👍. 🇨🇱🇺🇸✝️🙏❤️
You guys are such a great team! I hope you keep making videos like this :)
so you're asking for a facial?
Waiting 24 hours makes no sense at all to me. Gather supplies that you can use and get moving
🤣 I love the cameraman he is a fucking trip! And his Spanish is on point, im sure he has knocked down some doors in his life. Good stuff guys I appreciate it.
Very informative and still entertaining. If I had to nit pick, I would have liked to see what was in your EDC right from the beginning. Thanks for putting this together.
Alan was always my favourite alone participant, he just makes me laugh non stop. Haha
that is Alan behind camera? love the guy
I'm old and expendable.
I've been training to be bait for a defensive assault.
I'll be driving a ice cream truck 2 clicks ahead of my team and detonate upon contact with the zombies
Ok, many good tips including the rocket stove. That said, I understood the premise to be a sudden collapse with transport car/truckjacked ~ 30 miles from home. Then it turns into a permanent home thing. So here is what I find 'wrong' and believe me I am no Corporal's Corner, Coalcracker etc.... You get an F! Here's why... 30 miles from home? You KNOW where you are. You know where sources of water are. Getting home should be priority one, not dinking around on property that isnt yours, where you either get caught, or killed. Stupid. Yes, move by night. Yes move inside tree lines. There should be tons of fresh water around you in greenery like that. Better to filter from a stream than get killed McGivering a well dipper.... get your ADHD in check and get home. The point about canabalism; dont under play that.... hungry people will eat anything....Another reason to get home.... I have run Marathons 26 mi.... should be home in 30 hours worst case. Your actual case might be a trucker, whose truck was stolen.... a much better case for your story.... now THAT would make a great topic.
I worry about being stuck away from home in an SHTF Scenario.
That is why some ppl are "crazy" and hide rifles in their cars.
@@RyanGr33n I don’t have a bunker
@@RyanGr33n ????
This is the kind of survival stuff EVERYONE needs to see. Realistic. Hide your gear outside somewhere at first to prevent it being robbed if there is someone hiding inside.
This is why having a properly set up Altoids possibles tin in your pocket is a good idea.
A a decent zip lock bag and good quality puritabs are permanently resident in mine. Along with needles, thread, a small lighter, band aids, a couple of co-codamol tablets, aspirin, fish hooks, some light cordage and a couple of flame extenders.
Before anyone comments: That list has been developed the hard way over a number of years.
Unless you are carrying the aspirin for personal medical reasons I would rather carry acetaminophen (Tylenol) or Mobic. Tylenol also serves as an anti pyretic, and Mobic is convenient because its a once daily dose generally. Aspirin lowers your ability to clot by impairing thromboxane a2 synthesis. In a disaster scenario bleeding is bad. Whats worse is not being able to stop bleeding.
Friedrich Mønning yeah but with these vaccines causing blood clots🤪, might be a good idea to add aspirin 😁
@@gameshot586 yeah, but who tf is getting the "vaccine"? Nobody in their right mind imo.
@firstname lastname Yeah that’s just as worrying. I think if there aren’t enough people taking it, they’ll push other means of depopulation.
I agree. I'm a small female, so I edc a 9mm s&w ez shield, a gerber(like a leatherman) and an extra pouch for a 2nd clip. I carry a military style bag instead of a purse, with 3 days of very basic supplies for 2 people, including life straw/food tablets/protein bars. It's not that much for the size bag I carry and only weighs about 12 lbs. Everyone in my family thought I was nuts, until we broke down in the mountains with no cell reception for 12 miles. Then they were glad I had brought enough for everyone. Lol
Cant believe you left the loo paper even after talking about getting the runs!
I noticed that too. I also couldn't help but think he could put together a satchel or pack with the materials from the first building alone. And there was still another large building right behind it. I also saw the potential walking stick/spear from the items there. Not the best weapon, but better than nothing.
The show was both educational and entertaining. The cameraman was a distraction and was trying too hard to be funny. Please make more videos, but find a quiet cameraman.
I want to know How many people searched for a
Lithuanian sheep shank redemption knot lol
Excellent video y'all, i was screaming at the tv, "there's a metal bowl!!!"
You hit the nail on the head I put myself in similar situations just to make sure that I could do it and it's not as easy as people think it is
"Post apocolyptic type of motif!"😂😂😂
And we're rolling... In desperation.
"This place needs a little pizzazz!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Two of my favorite people on earth! I love the variety of seriousness, mixed in with a good ole crap myself laughter! Love what yall do, the knowledge you pass along and the experiences you share here! Thanks fellas!
I enjoy most of your videos. However I do not see this being a realistic scenario. Even during civil unrest you would be wise to try and purchase some water, ask for some water, or even Steal some water from a convenience store or somewhere similar. Every person has his or her own goals. But my personal goals as a person who works away from home is to get home as fast as I can.
@tvercetti1 I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing this out. I was working in Kentucky at the time. It was freezing there and meanwhile my family was enjoying 60° temps and sunshine
Micro politics is a really good thing to study. The skills needed to get 30-50 strangers to work together is not intuitive. But if you can get them organized you will be much safer than being alone.
If you are sitting on your butt playing recon for 24 hours during the early days after shtf instead of hoofing it towards home, without even knowing if there is anything in there to help you survive, you are doing it wrong. Entertaining to watch, but not exactly practical advice.
You guys crack me up every time! Keep up the good work!
I also learn something every time
Sure seems like an incredible waste of time for a grown man.
good idea for video.
In my opinion getting home quick is the priority. Stopping off here and there will get you killed. Just move quick and if possible at night. Waiting 24hrs to enter your home is also no ideal. Others could be waiting on you
Could have used the metal coffee can for direct fire and put the glass bottle inside
waiting 24 hours seems a bit over kill...
What if you're waiting a whole 24 hours and someone else who is also scavenging just walks into the building hour 9 hr of ur 24 hrs ..... He now has first dibs on found gear...
I respect you folks and your skills but wasting 24 hours where a stealthy recon of the area for materials and finding a running water source in such a green environment would surely be a better use of your time and allow you to stay on the move? I would have definitely taken an hour to recce exfiltration routes and used the tree line to approach the building, if possible I'd have waited until dusk to see if any lights came on or after 3am to use darkness to cover my movements at a time when humans are at their least alert plus allowing darkness to cover my withdrawal and then move quickly in daylight and spot any pursuit. Time on target leaves you vulnerable to detection by occupants or other passing foragers like the group who hijacked you in the first place. This is especially true when working alone as you cannot post a lookout/sentry. Bucket pack, wire, materials, some rope, maybe dry tinder if it's wet and back on the trail home. Just an opinion based on experience and training, I mean no disrespect gentlemen.
Camera Man is Legend... Obviously the Most Stable of the 2 🤣🤣🤣🤣
If anything y’all seem like you would be good company during a SHTF scenario. Be in good spirits and a good mood at the very least
I picked this tip up from someone who experienced the LA riots in the early 90s. If you have to hunker down to avoid social unrest in the Metro environment, one of the safest places to go is to libraries or bookstores
Imagine that...
Love the scavenging , stove and other ideas, good stuff! That said if I did loose my vehicle and get home bag and 30 miles away from my family my focus would be to hoof it to them and scavenge on the move and be to them and my gear within that 24!hrs or less. If I was further away I’d still scavenge on the move .
Watching a property for 24 hours will most likely get you killed. Judgement after 24 hours of no sleep, water or food would be far too impaired
Excelent series can’t wait to watch all of them. Thank you
Boiling water for one minute will kill all pathogens, but unfortunately it will not remove toxic chemicals.
So this method is applicable only when you collect the water from a running stream that typically contains a vast amount of water, to make sure that toxins are very diluted and will not harm you in the short-term.
This was a great video and helps you realize what you take for granted,
It looks very funny, but in reality you just make a very serious point, which is why I keep washing you always thank you very much guys God bless you always and América
Just one reason I edc everything I do from blade to metal water bottle
how about, don't get hijacked in the first place. Drive home. The end
Nobody is going to wait 24 hours. If times are really that dangerous you need to get home to your family fast. To me this is a situation where you Don't have anyone else depending on you, home is a very long distance away so you can take your time. A lot of great advice for that scenario.
How can you stay 24 hours, injured, in the rain, watching a building?
Awesome vid guys. Like Angery Americans books, please describe the edc tool youre using (brand, model, etc) What kind of flashlight were you using? What model Leatherman? Lighter? Etc.

You still couldve made the stove without knockin out a piece. Itd take about 6 of them. I love this & how it gets your mind goin.
Knowing your luck, that hole you put the snare on would be your neighborhood skunk 🦨 ! LoL 😂 !!!
12:50 his Spanish is on point 👍🏻 Coming from a native speaker.
No man, we got hard water around here, so it's not exactly a soft drink.
I look at it this way... Regardless of scenario they give you you're always going to want to think outside the box. Survival mode has been activated and poop has hit the fan. Regardless if you're by yourself or regardless if you're by yourself and your having to get to someone you love or maybe you don't have anyone that you are returning home to... oh perhaps you're leaving your home and you're on the run because there is chaos everywhere and you just cannot stay where you are at at the time... Whatever the scenario put your self in his shoes and think of what things you would do in that situation at that given time. But look at it in all revenues... For instance look for items Jared. what would you look for and how would you do utilize those items but also what is your mental state? What are you thinking about ....what is the scenario at play... and the level of your fear Meter, because let me tell you if your mental state is a little whack and off it's going to affect your actions and your way of thinking. That might help you for the next 24 to 72 hours?
What is that hand tool you had that you said you are allowed to carry with you?
*PREPPER PRO TIP: BE the EDC*
*From the habit of always wearing at least 4 average size pockets on all your pants/shorts because you may need to become a "gray-man" by emptying everything from an EDC into your pockets. Examples: Container (collapsible water bottle), Combustion (lighter), Cutting (multi-tool), Cordage (paracord), Covering (55 gallon 3mil plastic drumliner/lawn bag), Candle-light (headlamp flashlight).*
Its not the "sits", its the "shits". The most precious liquid on the planet? Not water, definitely champagne.
“Abandoned structures” are still owned by someone and should NOT be used during a shtf situation. I know you made the video with permission or you own the land. You have no business trespassing anytime……you will almost always find more trouble then you want.
Nice people will be eaten.
ironically enough there's no one else around?
Great video , looking forward to more days,
Your first priority isn't water, it's planning: where are you, how far is home, how long does it take to get home and how can you create shelter if you need to rest over night. You'll be fine for water for a day or two but you can die from exposure in one night (climate depending). Water is priority 2. Checking the lights is not a great idea. Spending as little time in buildings as possible, never enter a building you don’t know how to get out of. Complete a perimeter search first and plan your exit. Set up your bucket, shelter and fire etc in a concealed outdoor location. You have to keep moving toward you destination, scoping out a building for 24hrs is wasting your precious time and energy. The initial premise is to get home to your family and gear. In an ever escalating collapse situation you are up against an ever escalating situation...24hrs is a long time to be waiting. You demonstrated ideas based on survival in a location where as the primary objective is travel. Use that tyre iron to score the brick first before striking it, strike it with the sharp tip and keep it vertical, this gives higher pressure and less force which equals less noise. Carrying that tyre iron is awkward, heavy and with limited uses, the objective should be to avoid confrontation so retaining it as a weapon is not a priority. A tyre iron is only good for close quarters, if you come across a person close enough to fight you are also close enough to run. If you stay and fight you risk injury, not smart and if you come across anyone with a ranged weapon, you’re screwed anyway. Carrying a tyre iron in this scenario brands you instantly hostile, better to appear passive and catch them off guard when the time is right. Leave the tyre iron, it’s useless. I enjoyed the effort you guys put into this video.
Edit: typos and PS: if you want to use a glass bottle to boil water, put it in a dish full of sand, it will provide better heat distribution and not as harsh as raw flame. Wrapping it in clay will work also.
Fr think before u act💪🏼
I have a slingshot, pretty good with it, and it's great for small game.
OK, from the outset, when you set up the possible scenario, stating some of the possible parameters, you said you might be possibly injured (perhaps not critically/severely) and the weather could possibly be cold or raining (you didn't mention snowing, but who knows). This opening scenario could negate ALL of your ideas of scouting out the structures and force you to approach and enter in order to JUST SURVIVE. Your ideas are sound ASSUMING everything is pretty much perfect and you have the luxury of surveilling your target for this extended period. All in all, this is an informative video. Should make you think...it does me.
Says there isn't much he can boil water in while in front of a cement mixer....
Chicken house unoccupied great find. A lot of work most people don't realize goes into survival.
WOW, I got 3 minutes in, and can’t watch any more.. I had the same thoughts as others.. I was puzzled by the “I got car jacked”, because like others have said, why are your doors unlocked? Why are you not CCW?
I was also puzzled by the #1 priority is to get home to my gear, and to avoid buildings at all costs… but IF you were injured or if it was extreme weather, a structure could be a good option? Ok (granted)….
BUT this guy lost me when he said he’d sit and observe the property for 24 hours first? If you’re injured or it’s extreme weather, the entire premise of seeking immediate shelter is negated if you are gonna sit in someone’s yard for 24 hours first…. If you can wait to sit in someone’s yard for 24 hours, wouldn’t you rather just make your way closer to home?
Also, if someone is staking out my house, I’ll have watches set, and if it’s SHTF, they’re likely to get shot by sitting in my tree line for 24 hours.
So many things wrong (contradictions) with this entire approach….
Shaking my head.. I had high hopes when I saw the decent production value of the intro…
Thank you. Shows survival is having a resilient mindset. Make do with what you find. Blessings!
Brutal effort for some water. Lots of wasted time. Especially watching a condemned building for 24hrs? No thanks.
5.15 Jason releases the final seal of the Apocalypse. All hell and its demons are free to roam the Earth.... 😳 as Alan shakes his head no and videos. Great guys..... 🙄
And why are all of Jason's scenarios involving him buck naked and Alan videoing? As the Chinese would say "Summ-Teeng-Whong".... 🤨
Great Video guys. 🤣🤣🤣 You 2 are hilarious! And somewhat educational indeed! 😃 I'd love to be on your team but Alan's contract needs reworked. He's too lazy. 🤣🤣🤣
I think first aide or medical kit should be added to your food fire water shelter but what do I know. Great job on your video. Never thought about looking for a well. I’m so busy storing. Scouting out water sources is a new thing for me. I think I’ll try to locate some wells before they are needed. Thanks.
Pretty sure there would be a water spigot on one of those buildings. Then your 24 hr. Recon would have ended early. 😂
You're injured and its pouring rain. Wait 24 hours? Ever hear of hypothermia? Go sneaking around the perimeter and try to "aquire" tools? You'd be having to deal with a REAL injury if you were in my neck of the woods. Real bad info. Real bad. Come up the driveway with your hands empty. Knock on the front door. Act like you aren't one of the peaceful protesters and you are far more likely to get aid from the owners.
I had forgotten how much I loved Alan's commentary. Stumbled upon this going down a TH-cam rabbit hole. My family are peppers, but it's always nice to have more ideas/know how.
You need to filter your water through more material, as much as possible, to remove more of the pesticides and chemicals that boiling does not remove or neutralize.
Filter Filter Filter, then boil.
If you’re in need of shelter you’re not going to have 24hrs to stake out the place. Maybe you can wait till dusk and carefully approach the building but in a storm, rain or snow or whatever you have where you live, you won’t have a lot of time to waste. Priority is shelter in inclement weather. Cool video though. Lots of good ideas.
I;m not waiting 24 hours. Thats 24 hours of traveling. If anything, I would lay up during the day and travel at night. staying close to the road but not on the road.
24 hrs😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love the snaps early warning idea!
OMG! New Sub here. Who's the camera man! I think I'm in love. Great work, fellas. Glad to have found you.
