      There's the forced march and the sit and smell the roses walk. From here to there, if there's enough along the way, that's just time. You're talking about outrunning or running to the "front lines". Fuck that, I'll pull up a sewer grate and use the san sewer as a pillbox. Most of my men should have already been given the order to carry out. Leave me behind with an MG or two, and let em' draw down on the the Russian philosophy. Step by step, move by move, every foot is just another f'k you!

      If I were to leave a bucket and a trail of nails, what would you want in a 5 gallon plastic bucket with a lid? The nail will indicate the direction you should travel. If it's not the same nail, or it's too high or too low. You won't be far from another nail the enemy missed. In survival, I can commit no deception. If the enemy is clever enough to find it, that becomes your problem, or solution to a problem.

      I have greatly enjoyed watching your videos these last few months after discovering them. I love your different shelter builds and the explanations you give on how and why, but I have a question? What kind of shelter would you build if there wasn’t any straight timber available to use? And you still needed to get up off the ground.

    Corporal Kelly: at age 83, I am almost twice as old as you. I've attended training events; watched many videos ;&heard many live presentations on what a person needs in the woods; & I have many years of EXPERTIENCE in the woods. However, your presentation today by far ECLIPSES all other presentations because it is REALISTIC; CREDIBLE; makes SENSE; and it addresses ACTUAL NEEDS apart from intent. I commend you for relying upon both MILITARY & CIVILAIN EXPERINCE rather than theory & the floating of hypothetical ideas. I appreciate your honesty, integrity, & concern which contributes SIGNIFICANTLY tio the PREVENTION of problems & issues which could potentially develop on the trail, regardless of AGE & PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS. It would be absolutely FOOLISH of me to attempt that which is absolutely beyond my physical limitations unless it is absolutely last resort. My physical condition, medical needs etc. are different at age 83 than when I was younger. However, I hope that across the decades of my life that i have learned lessons from my mistakes, as well as how to improve the things which I did right. There are still things which I can do to get myself in better shape; & you have motivated me to work on that. I realize that my COMMENTS are far too long & that I am only one person among your multitude of subscribers; but I deeply appreciate what you are doing. I am also confident that many of your viewers share my opinion & appreciation of you as a person & as a valid instructor from whom we can learn valuable skills & lessons. I support you & I pray for you regardless of your personaql spiritual values. Even if you are too busy to read and/or respond to MY comments, I hope that other viewers will listen to a very old man who hopes to NEVER STOP LEARNING! May God bless you & your family, your viewers, & your investment of time, & resources to keep us SAFE IN THE WOODS. And in your words, "UNTIL NEXT TOME..." The Old Preacher

    Brother
    I've commented on your post many times and I'll say it again. I served twenty years in the Marine Corps and still carry my old military gear. I am 63 years old and still lead the way on the trail. I carry what if gear, so my pack will be heavier than most. My Alice is my go to pack. I've tried civilian packs and always come back to my Alice. You ate 100% correct and spot on with your assessment of the gear. My pack mirrors yours, even without watching you. I have never seen an instructor more thorough than you and I truly love that you take the time to teach how to use the gear. You are an impressive, awesome warrior. Semper Fi.

    I faced the same dilemma my first camping trip, after recovering from a brain tumor and ministroke. Before the brain tumor I was high speed, low drag. Camping, canoeing, hiking, etc. The load out was maybe 40 pounds, which darn near wore me out. Intent is as an extremely important concept to remember. Cheers dude. Day 76 of chemo and still doing ok. 🤙

What you do or achieve with your basic gear is very inventive and informative. We both enjoy your ideas, presentations and videos greatly. Thanks Corp.

      ALICE packs and the LBE are
      good pieces of gear even though many abhor it.
      They might not be the most comfortable, but they'll still
      be in one piece with your cargo still inside at the end
      of the march. I use the medium

  • @tburrows357
    @tburrows357 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    As a Canadian Veteran I can agree with what you are saying about exercising and using your gear. And doing 13 km full battle rattle and ruck at -35 (not including windchill -40 basically) winter bug out is hardly ever touched on. Mostly because at least in Canada we want bug in more than bug out. But your pack in that weather will be the start of your weight. Layered cloths system, heavier boots, parka ect. That weight adds on. So heat sucks but long march with winter parkas and jumping gear. You will sweat. And as soon as you stop that’s a huge consideration to plan how to stave off the elements and hypothermia

  • @brucemattes5015

    I'm 70 years old now. I spent 3 years as a 91B medic in the United States Army from 1976-1979, where 50% of those 3 years were spent outdoors sleeping on the ground. After leaving the military, I spent another decade living my life to the fullest backpacking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing, canoeing, rock climbing, ice climbing, and mountaineering.
    I fully agree with you on the high temperatures in conjunction with the extreme high humidity statement. That scenario is far worse than the low humidity and high temperatures of an arid Western environment, both of which I have a lot of experience with.
    There's *NO* substitute for fitness, regardless of your age. I'm currently in the midst of a serious weight loss versus regaining some of my lost fitness program, spearheaded by eating Carnivore. I'm 5' 8.5" tall and 6 months ago, weighed in at 302.5 pounds, and currently weigh 272 pounds.
    I've always thought that a base load, including survival tools, should be some place between 25-30 pounds because that's the approximate amount of weight that most people can carry comfortably.
    Any extra weight that is carried should be in the form of high-quality foodstuffs that are as calorie dense as possible. Home-made pemmican that is vacuum packaged in 7mil mylar pouches, and that consists of flavorably-smoked beef or bison;
    well-rendered, odor-free, clean white tallow; unadulterated salt; dried fruit or berries; and honey would be my first choice over any commercial dehydrated or freeze dried packaged meal options.
    Fat is the most crucial element of backpacking foods that most people ignore. Throughout human history, more human beings have died from the consequences of fat starvation than they have from a lack of any food whatsoever.

    I appreciate your channel for its common sense & lack of BS. Your attempt to reality-check people early in this video was excellent. Most folk are incapable of realizing their fantasy is far from reality. One guy I worked with 20 years ago had a "plan" to hike 17 miles over hilly terrain in the event of an emergency so as to reach his place of work where he'd stored some supplies. He died of a huge coronary attempting to walk 1/4 mile back to a gasoline station after his car ran out of fuel. One thing you could have added: sanitary tips & tricks. I recommend wet-wipes as a simple & not too heavy solution for taking care of nature's requirements and avoiding potential problems. You may have your own thoughts, and it would be great to share them please.

    Hey Shawn, as always I take notes and hopefully never have to do an emergency getaway. Having an invalid wife poses a huge task as to what I need to prepare for. I'm 73 with a multitude of medical issues that I've overcome, ie cancer and heart, all very good now. As I watched this video it got me to understand how to ready myself for the practice. Thx as usual for all your info. Can't wait to get started on the latest get ready scenario. Hey guys if you think at 50 your gonna be great into your 70's, here's my info, be prepared for the unexpected. I've had to be very aware of my limitations. Stamina is the first thing that meds take away for your life saving future. You figure it won't happen to you, your living in a fantasy world. My best to all of you, thx Shawn for all you do.

    Excellent video and content as always. Due to a MC accident 15 years ago, resulting in 9 broken bones in my right arm and leg, I'm kind of gimped out on my right side. Have to put my trekking days behind me, but I still have a small packsack full of gear in my truck, just in case of an emergency. I still go for short walks in the bush, and carry this gear just in case. I just turned 85 years young, on Earth Day 22 April (which started in 1970) or as my 9 year old grandson says, "Gee Grandpa, you're older than the Earth". LOL.

    I'm 72 (in 3 days) in good health and carry almost to the letter what you've shown here, even on a day hike, here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NE TN, SW Va, and NW NC. The only real difference is my sleep pad is an insulated Klymit blow up. I know it can be damaged easier but after 5 years it's still going strong. In winter a zero deg. bag and Military Bivy bag gets substituted for the poncho liner, and of course better clothing. Good load out!

    It really comes down to SKILLS! Of course extended wilderness stays will require additional water and/or food either packed initially or found and processed.

    Roll or two of surveying flagging and a grease pen. This is highly visible and the grease pen allows you to put information on the flagging like your name, azimuth of travel and projected destination. I used to survey timber in the NW and flagging tells a lot of information. If your trying to be found for rescue flagging and information on it is an force multiplier.

    Awesome video, I will throw this one out there for you to ponder on, I have in my gear an additional roll of a type of tape, Johnson & Johnson athletic cloth tape. The wetter it get on the body from sweat the stickier and stronger it gets, you have to cut it off, with that it is cloth so it will burn, you can use it for twine by twisting it, use for bandages. Same stuff you see football players wrap their shoes and ankle with. You can include it in your I.F.A.K. pack. Love these videos, always give you something to think about

    The Alice pack is hard to beat, I got my first one in 1987, I still use it. I have tried many other packs, internal frame and other external frame packs. I go with the Large size Alice pack hands down. It will haul in all your gear, and it don't really matter what that gear is, if you can lift it and walk with it, you can freight it in an Alice pack. The medium pack is a better option for when you want to lose the frame and just carry the pack. The large doesn't allow carry without the frame.

    The life saving item conversation at the end is my favorite!
    I’ve always wondered why the “bushcraft” world has been so stuck on improvising in this scenario.
    If i have a need for a tourniquet then I need it NOW! I don’t want to be wasting my last 2 minutes of life trying to improvise a belt or shoe lace.
    Its useful knowledge to have if you do find yourself in a worst case situation where its improvise or die but why rely on improvising?

    Triangular Bandage. 40" x 40" x 54". Cut old cotton sheets like this. Make a dozen of em. Stuff em in every corner of yer ruck. Three or 4 in yer Med kit. They are useful if you know how to use them. Obviously as slings and swathes. You can bandage every part of your body with these. Tourniquets. Rescue harnesses. Key in an improvised Traction Splint. Essential in Field Splinting of any kind. Easy firestarting equipment if you keep it dry. This is cheap and what you need. Make a bunch of em, share em around, show folks how to use them and make friends. doc in Galveston

    Like what you say about attitude/intent. Foundational!!!
    Going out into the back country, I always expect to be out for really long time. Learned this in RVN when a 5 day mission went to 63 days. Now I always expect to be gone longer, and when I come back, it feels like I am cutting it short. Leaves me with the intent to go back out ASAP.

    Don't let the trolls get to you, Corporal Kelly. That's what they want to do is piss you off. Trolls get off on pissing off an expert. Anyone that has ever been in the military knows that you're giving tried and true advice based on your own experience. I'm willing to bet that a high percentage of the trolls would be sissies out in the woods, if the truth were known. Remember: When someone is determined to make a fool of themselves, get out of the way and let them do it. I used to hear "what ifs" a lot when I studied the martial arts. So, trolls are trolls wherever you find them.

    I section hike Appalachian Trail every spring and what we carry for long distance differs from Bushcraft, we bring shelter & insulation so we don't bring tools to build shelter, we have what we need on our backs. Usually plan on 5-6 day hikes then resupply food/hygiene. My cold weather pack is 22 pounds base weight down to 10F using hammock, tarp cover, 20F down top quilt, 20F down under quilt, down ski pants, gloves, polyester bomber jacket, waterproof wind breaker, rain suit,first aid,hygiene. My summer hammock setup down to 40's is 17 pounds base weight using hammock, tarp cover, 40f top quilt, 40f under quilt, gloves, puffy polyester jacket, waterproof wind breaker, poncho,first aid,hygiene. On both sets of gear I add 3lbs water+filter & 7 pounds of food.

    Hiya cpl. One thing you have not mentioned in these videos, is the food you take with you .... Cooking utensils are great but if you don't have food with you aside from mres... Then you would have to hunt / fish.... Most city folks that only go hiking one the weekend didn't know how to field dress animals for food. Could you address this on a video sometime? . Thanks for your work and info. ADDENDUM: I jumped the gun here, you did mention food, but could you address hunting and field dressing wild game ?

    My dad was a 82 airborne E8 sergeant for 20 years. I was always amazed what he carried in his sack when we went into the field. When I worked with the Boy Scouts here in NC I could barely take a school book bag with emergency items like line, water,lighter, axe, tarp, mess kit,headlight, blanket, mini first aid kit, dried food, extra socks,towel and mat. It takes practice just walking around your neighborhood with it on your back every day.

    I am also ex-military and a hoarder by nature. This is not a good combination. My pack was always the biggest and heaviest. It might only be a 2 day activity but i couldn't help packing 4 pairs of socks, 2 sets of thermals, 2 spare gas (cooking) canisters, an enormous roll of 550 cord etc. For someone like me what Shawn is teaching takes a lot of discipline. To only take what you need for the time period that you need it. Great vid as always!

This year (2024) I’ve been working to keep my load-out at about 25 pounds. It’s my “training weight” if you will. And I still sleep on the ground in the winter. I’m 72. Not bragging - just want to encourage other seasoned citizens to keep moving and to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. I really enjoy your videos, Corporal! I’ve learned so much from you!

    3 days/wk. and every other Saturday walk on the treadmill. 4 miles with a 35-40 lb.(depends) rifle or pistol or just compact fishing pole w/lures. I still use my trusty old girl ALICE. ( med.) If it ain't broke don't fix it.
