This man has more integrity than some people I've worked with. I am so impressed with the level of thoughtfulness and thoroughness that he share with us. I'm glad that the TH-cam AI brought me here
Thanks, means a lot
Tip on the shoulder straps: Wrap a hand towel or shemagh around each strap and tape them on. This adds ton of padding to the shoulder straps and gives you extra rags if needed. ✌️
Didn’t think about that
Yep, it’s an old military trick. I saw some pictures from the Vietnam war, where some soldiers were doing that on their backpacks. Also saw pictures of machine gunners doing that on their slings. I’ve used it many times on cheap or ultra light bags and it works wonders!
@@zachparade2791 thanks
THANKS
Anytime
Another great presentation Tuck! A lot of valuable information in this one, thank you. I would say the most essential gear would be for sleep and shelter, with food and water right there with them. I'm so glad that you have folks like Alfred and Jeremy to assist you in your endeavors, my hat's off to them, there are some good people. I did groundskeeping and landscaping for 25 years and that 4 way box key was a must have, that was a nice little bonus in the video. Glad to see you're doing well. Pet Sam for me.
Will do
I have that puffer wolf down blanket and modified it into a top quilt so I don't pull it past my feet, folded it into thirds lengthwise then did a rolling stitch along the foot end then cinched the string tight to close off the foot end, this created a top quilt with a foot box. My favorite cooking item is a 17inch BBQ fork, I stick a couple Sausage links or a NY Strip Steak or SPAM onto the fork and hold over a fire to cook meat.
Thanks
1. If you can find an old closed cell foam pad you can add strips to thicken your shoulder straps. Extra closed cell foam can also be cut down to make a sit pad or kneeing pad while cooking. 2. If you come across old tent poles you can re-purpose them to hold up a tarp. Sadly sometimes encampments get torn up by the police and tents get left behind; even if they are trashed you may find a use for the nylon fabric. 3. If you are shopping in a grocery store, swing by the ready-to-eat and grab some salt/pepper/hot sauce/etc packs. If you are shopping anyway, no one should care much. Also get to know when they put items on 50% just before the expire date. 4. A large clean garbage bag or painters tarp creates a much larger surface area when it rains that can be used like a funnel to direct rain into your pots/bottles. 5. Look into a Fiskers hatchet which are decent but generally cheap, otherwise look into pawn shops of flea markets for cheap traditional hatchets. 6. Answer, the preppers will say water, however for the vast majority of homeless in cities, water is easy to get if near libraries of malls. I'd say your sleep system is the most important as people may give you a hat or gloves, some food, a drink, but few people walking by you will have a sleeping bag, tent, or quality sleep pad with them to give you. Proper warm sleep for homeless is also a key component for mental health.
Thank you, some of those things I already do other things I’m gonna be looking to do
Heh, I clicked like after about 5 seconds in.
I liked the bit about how long the canister will last by using it on low. Details like that answer questions I didn't even think about. Nice lead on the Campsuds, too.
Thanks, the benefits of living your story
The potato soup over rice with chopped dandelion greens is actually really good. Try it🤙🏻🇺🇸
I might
I am a former soldier, but I knew that military "Surplus" gear tends to be far higher quality than civilian gear, for a fraction of the price. I recall having a "mummy" sleeping bag I literally slept in daily for years. No civvy pack could endure that, as far as I know, and would probably cost thousands. So as much as I can, I try and use military gear.
My recommendations would be, try and go solar as often as you can. Solar to charge the phone, solar charged flashlight and radio you can leave in the sun. Bury things in cans, in caches where you go.
In the military, a lot of your gear is transported around for you, and civilian life. You have to be thoughtful of weight because of how it interacts with your shoulders, neck and back.
I do use solar everywhere I go, but I’m also dependent on the weather
Hi Friar Tuck, A friend of mine (Aaron Fletcher) lives a nomadic life in Oregon. He’s kinda of like a shepherd with a small herd of sheep (3-4). He lives off their milk and cheese. The ram pulls his small wagon, and they travel around together while he takes them from one place to another to graze. He sleeps in his wagon, has his stove and fridge built into it. His wagon has bicycle tires is like a miniature covered chuck wagon. Thoughts you might get some ideas from his setup. He too is an advocate for the homeless.
I think I’ve seen him on TH-cam
Thanks man. I enjoy the videos, especially liked this one from a prepper perspective. I'm heading over to the Patreon page......
I’ll see you over there
awesome content brother! very informative, smart and complete, thank you!!
Anytime
Love the video
Appreciate it 😁
Anytime
What type of shoes do you wear since you move around a lot? Do you have more than one pair?
I use one pair of shoes, will use crocs for lots of river and Creek crossings though. I generally get me about a $20 pair of shoes since I don’t last longer than 4 to 6 weeks anyways. No point in buying high-end shoes because it’s about distance, not quality.
I'm curious when you're in let's say gainsville since you're there now you stay in same spot or fo you move around
Unless it’s a great spot I move around every couple of days.
Teton is made in China.
I was told that my bag came from their factory in Salt Lake City
@@FriarTuck81 I'm pretty sure they are outsourced from China and sent to Utah for quality checks. I'm assuming most major brands that don't say, "Made in USA." are from China. I have a 75l Teton and it's a great backpack for the $.
@@RyanF150 if you don’t have to use it every day
I just sent you an email.
I saw and replied
@@FriarTuck81I sent an email to you too, but you did not reply. Why? Have you read it?
@@Dmitry_Bonch_TaxFree_Economy never got it
What is it like to beg?
You tell me
I hope you never need to know
For attention? Well, you should know at this point.
@FriarTuck81 I agree that was rude we can always be in the situation.
@@friedpistachios lol
I had a hard time focusing on the content of your video because of all the trash I kept seeing in the background.
Unbelievable!
Grant it didn't come from you but i couldn't camp in a place surrounde w/trash. And if I was going to camp there my mission would be to get a trash bag and pick it all up.
Maybe not you tuck but this is what so many homeless people do, they leave trash everywhere! Just speaking for myself I couldn't imagine doing that. Oh and yes I'm homeless too.
In the Homeless community it’s a way of marking your territory so other Homeless don’t come in and take your camp. If I left it as clean as I would like there would be somebody else that would come in and take my camp and then trash it.
