    In a shtf situation there is no such thing as gray man, if you’re visible you can be a target. Even homeless people get mugged on a daily basis.

    For field work, a light with an ultra-low setting like 5 lumens is very helpful. 5 lumens is plenty of light, after your eyes have adjusted to the dark. If you turn on a really bright light, it will take your eyes about thirty minutes to re-adjust to the dark. It is also helpful if the light starts at the low setting and then increases.
    Conversely, tactical flashlights, like those geared to CQB, then you want a bright light with momentary on-off, using the brightest setting.

    The Sootch light is a head lamp if you clip it on your hat.
    Must: largest water resistant light tarp you can carry. I use 10 x 12.
    Skimping on tarp size may mean a wet night and/or wet gear.
    You can also use it to hide gear, or as a liter.

    the 2024 F150 hybrid gets 25mpg city and highway and if you can stand to be seen driving one the ford maverick hybrid gets 42 city and 33 highway according to Kelly blue book. So you can have a larger trunk (cause lets be honest these arent trucks they are 4 door cars with an open 5ft trunk) and still get decent gas mileage.

    Quick tip for backpacks and visibility: if your backpack is too visible you can also - in an SHTF situation - cover it using a raincover in a more dark color - or even a camo raincover. The same is true of course if you have a black backpack and you want to be visible while hiking in the woods just put an orange, yellow etc. raincover over it. They're quite cheap from CN also :)

    The question about passports seemed to take you guys by surprise??
    I am a citizen of Australia and also New Zealand and have two passport’s. You never know when travelling abroad if one could become compromised but I do know of others with even more nationality’s. A friend has Au, NZ and also Swiss citizenship. It’s a subject I have not seen you discuss on the show! Great work guys😀

      Well, as Sootch said. We only have two choices for crossing boarders, here in the USA. Canada or Mexico. And where we live in the S.E. USA, we could possibly escape to the Bahamas or Caribbean islands.
      While traveling abroad, people can't normally carry all EDC essentials they discuss. Especially guns, ammo or knives! Most EU countries & Canada frown on their own citizens carrying such items, not to mention a visiting traveler.

    This is what can be frustrating with the prepared community on TH-cam. I get it ideally. You want to live out in the country and have like-minded neighbors but realistically, most of us live in suburban neighborhoods. Chris dwhlet when he would be on survival dispatch and podcasts talked about this often. A bigger discussion needs to be had with Neighborhood/community Preparedness. If s h t f ever does happen majority of people in neighborhoods and small towns in the Cities would not have any bug out location.

    I was looking at HAM but after talking with a guy I work with who's got his General license (the second of 3 levels) I really dont need all of that (he says right before he finds out he needed all of that and more....). So I decided to stick with GMRS radios. They require a license but there is no test. You just pay uncle sam $35 and you are good for 10 years. Plus they can use repeaters as well just like HAM so you can get comms back to your base station. And short of finding out what happened on a global scale I really dont need to communicate more than that.

Knives must not be longer than 3 1/2 (for pocket or folder knives) inches, not be Intended to commit a crime, may (for fixed bladed knives) only be intended hunting, not double edged, etc. Batons, trench spikes/knives, machetes, etc are either generally illegal or illegal in public unless in the process of working on a jobsite.
