Looters steal from the living...
Scavengers steal from the dead!
One of the top pieces of advice I can give for an SHTF/WORL situation is :”avoid trespassing.” If things are that bad, and you are trespassing. It will likely get very ugly.
Trespassing can get very ugly very quick when things are normal. If shtf and your trespassing you’ll likely just be blasted on sight as it’s the smallest risk for the “defenders” they don’t even have to engage you and put themselves or their position in jeopardy. It’d just be
*POP POP*… “he’s down Robby… let’s give it an hour and see if anyone else comes, oh and tell James and Lindsey to get the shovels”
I GAR-ON-TEE it will get ugly.
If you need supplies, you do, what you got to do.
You scavenging for food, ammo, clothing , and medical , I guess makes you a looter. I don't need a color tv or a microwave, or jewelry. Necessities to survive.
Looting stealing, everything else is surviving
@@tommysimmons5266 when you are the Police or National Guard on patrol and you are spotted with food, water, medical or what ever you pick up, coming out of a building, store, or vehicle which one will it look like looting, stealing, or scavenging what will it look like????
@davidblanchard5252 like he said, if there's authority in the area that means there's still "rule of law". Thus you would be looting.
No. Looters took all the good stuff. Scavengers pick up all the 3rd and 4th rate crap.
@@DesertRat.45The pharmacy would be the first place to get looted.
Having tools for a post shtf recovery is gonna be a necessity.
He's stressing that you don't need to bring every tool you have, but to have multi- use, milti-functional tools.
As a multitool, the Gerber MP 600 is standard handout to new troops in US Army now. If it is good enough for them, it means it is bulletproof. I just got one and it is bomb proof.
No it means it passed the minimum requirement for the lowest price. However I love my gerber center drive so ill agree for the sake of teamG
@@callmesomething1425it ALSO generally means it tough enough that a bunch of r*tards can’t easily break it. No disrespect to the troops but I was a young man once and we were ALL a bunch of idiots using tools in ways they weren’t meant to be used lol
Stocking up with alcohol such as whiskey and vodka. I bought 2 cars in the former East Germany with 2 cartons of cigarettes and a bottle of JD.
Recommend checking out Military Surplus equipment. Backpacks, Rucksacks and a plethora of other useful gear. Ignore the color. The digital camo can be dyed. You can't beat the durability. Don't go nuts! Key thing is functionality. Don't buy things because they look Cool!
I thought the bayonet & sheath combo was for cutting barbed wire, not bolts
Re: analog watches. Look into those old wind-up pocket watches. I know they're not very convenient, but they're purely mechanical and thus EMP proof.
THIS idea I like. I've gone through 3 Walmart, fall apart, crap battery watches lately. I'm over it.
(last two minutes) 2/3rds of CW deaths not bullets but illness - how much of that was contaminated water? Clean water is maybe a person's top priority.
Excellent episode. Thanks!
Best fire starter I know, is dryer lint. I save it in gallon ziplock bags. Doesn't take much, and it's amazing how quickly it accumulates. Understand how it can be augmented by adding vaseline, but I hate the idea of fuel on my fingers in any situation. Dryer lint alone works great to get small tinder going!
Can melt wax and soak drier lint stuffed into egg carton slots. That’s what we did for scouts. Break one off and have a fire starter
We also save dryer lint. We pack it into tp tubes. If I have any old wax melt I pour it into the tubes. If not, the lint tubes burn good without
I have a husky and he sheds ALOT! His undercoat is very wispy, good addition to any fire starter kit
I use nut hair to start a fire
@briancrooks5982 STANK, so much for being stealthy. Lol
Fuel saver / stabilizer??? Seems like a good thing to have on hand if SHTH
Nice tool kit. However, our local police consider a set like that's as a robbery tool kit in our current non-shtf period.
Burglary tools. Robbery implies the threat of violence.
That's exactly what it is. So, don't carry it in public in our current non-shtf period, and try to avoid giving the police cause to search your property.
Certainly in the UK we have a criminal term, "going equipped" that the police would apply to such things as lock picking tools (or even any sort of pry bar if they are really in a bad mood). If there is still law around post SHTF their interpretation would be very different from ours as to whether you are right or wrong to carry these items, but it makes sense to have the tools at home and the knowledge 'just in case'. Once outside your own property, all bets are off.
Solar watches can be powered not only by the sun but any type of artificial light. I keep one on top of my fridge and it has been powered by florescent lights without a failure for over 10 years now.
I don't really play video games and I'm guessing most people here probably don't either, but I recently saw a kickstarter for one that looked really interesting and actually fits the topic here. It's called As One We Survive and some of the main objectives are building a community, gathering supplies and crafting items to survive and rebuild, and avoiding confrontations. And on top of all that, it's made by Christians.
Fallout is the ultimate surviving the apocalypse game
If you're trying to gain access to buildings, sometimes carrying destructive entry tools can be best but most of the time covert entry tools are best. For 1: they make waaaaaaay less noise. Noise is a no no at many times. 2: Destructive tools are very heavy. I can carry a double door tool, under door tool, travelers hooks, Mica shims, adams rite picks, jigglers, comb picks, door hinge tool, lock box hinge tool and many other tools all at once in a single bag and all of it together might be 2 pounds. Remember RFID card readers will be down if the grid goes down so you wont need to learn how to rewrite card credentials. Take it from me... its much easier. But it takes time to learn and practice. Before I forget.. many pad locks today are made VERY hard to if not impossible to cut with bolt cutter. They use boron carbide shackles. Again... learn about locks and how to better bypass them.
Lock wire is another big one for me. Combined with a Leatherman needle nose pliers I can make seriously strong expedient shelters, I can repair anything loose, I can attach anything to anything and I can hang or suspend items (including build traps). All this for eight bucks at Harbor Freight
Good info. On the hammer, what is your opinion on a wooden handles that can be replaced? Don't rule out alcohol stoves for bug-in situations. We have a Kenyon Marine 2-burner as a back-up to the Grill and the Coleman camp stove and fireplace. Propane may get scarce The beauty of the alcohol stove is it is clean and can be used in doors. Alcohol is common and in a longer term grid down it can be made or re-distilled from booze.
I think you forgot one very important item--a *walking* *stick*
A strong walking stick has soooo many uses.
For example, another guy on youtube made his from an old hoe.
So it's a walking stick with very strong metal hook on the end.
This allows him to use this stick as a climbing aid.
See a 2nd story window you'd like to get into? Now you can
A shillelagh works well for me.
Luxury items = looting
Survival items = scavenging
Also consider if the owners have use for them, or have abandoned them.
If, what is prophesied, happens, what you are worried about will go far worse, than even you are thinking :( people will be killing other people, just to survive with what you had.😢
I have thought about using the two wheeled cart that is towed behind a bicycle for hauling supplies.
That would be nice, especially if you have a bike and need to travel. Personally, I've been considering one of those collapsible wagons. Unfortunately most that I've seen have blow molded wheels, which won't hold up well. Would like to find one with decent tires or may look into replacing the stock wheels with something more sturdy.
...with a quick-release mechanism in case you get surprised and may still be able to get away quick.
Edit: Even without a cart, you could balance something heavy on the seat, then dump it quick if you need to; then book.
I'm more interested in using shortwave radio (not ham radio) to get intel on local, regional, or international news and activity. I know how to use my receiver, and I know it is useful and can receive signals from thousands of miles away, but average people need to know who to listen to, (like gubmint agencies, FEMA, Red Cross, prepper nets) and how to find them on the radio or the frequencies on the Web. "Scanning the bands" is like driving around looking for cheap gasoline.
get a haligan tool or a set of irons like the fire service has, you can do so so much. as for reducing sound utilize the large sticky fablon type sheet/ roll again like fire service allows glass to be removed effectively. in a SHTF situation your local fire department is a good resource for tools water med kit etc. also take a small folding hand cart and tarp so you can move more items and also drag and conseal your finds.
Something many people forget is a pad and pen or pencil. So many uses map, note of where something is to come back to
Mike Shelby here. Thank you for the shout out! Let's talk more about Area Studies.
SP - you are a breath of fresh air , i almost didn't watch because most vids on this topic are indiscriminate in their targets...i wonder how those fOLKS would like being scavenged while tHEY are out taking other's survival items (or being hunted down and 'dealt with' after?)...Creator bless friend...doug
What makes you a looter is someone else calling you one, Usually an official who messed up and caused the situation to some degree to make themselve not look so bad.
A looter is someone who comes on my property.
@@russsteele5161 including yourself if the government tells you you can't return, or stay, at home. Look at the Lahaina survivors after August 8th.
Black scout survival has a lot of info on lock picking.
Marshall Law is another problem
Another thing is you need an extra bag for whatever you want to pickup when you're out looking for material items and that way you have the capability to carry more items
Mike shelby's a great guy. We had him on our podcast. He spoke at our 5th Self Reliance Festival. Love to see Suche out here october 14 and 15 in camden tn for our 6th SRF.
Great minds man… I’ve been putting together a little kit for scavenging and entry into buildings. A lot of awesome books on through the lock type of entry
Weird idea I just had but if possible I feel like a drone could be helpful you could use to scout an area and recharge when you are back to base. definitely radios for comms as well.
Lock Picking: Bosnian Bill, Lock Noob and The Lock Picking Lawyer. Loads of great tips such types of locks, how to bypass them and tools of the trade.
CV? Really? Why are you promoting that as a tangible thing that someone can “catch” in the first 60 seconds…
Modifications made to standard tools to make them multi purpose greatly improves carry capacity. For example my hammer is the prybar screwdriver can be useful for hatchet use. It could be modified more if necessary.
Here's a tip for everyone get the large bolt cutters cut the shafts of the handles about half way screw or weld a henge on the outside of each handle and a clap or hook on the inside easy for transport and you'll have two sizes for different needs
Duct tape in your kit can help with all sorts of things incl. Noise if you have to break a window
Ohhhhh, so not as a muzzle for the cutie I just picked up as my sex slave...got it!
There is a fine line. When shtf you will unfortunately have to be the Judge, Juror, and God forbid, ..........
Want to learn how to gain entry into any building? Pay attention to firefighters.
Yes, decent sized boltcutters
Great video! I was watching an old video and was wondering if you have any of those Team Sootch Minuteman patches available? I'd love to be able to get one.
Imagine having him around during a disaster 🥵
A tool for checking for Booby Traps. Like a spear to prod a distance ahead?
Excellent idea 💡
Out of curiosity I ordered one, I have to admit for the price the quality and full size bits it is an amazing buy. Like you said the capability to use regular bits is a big thing. It opens so many options. I can't wait to see your update video after some use.
Yeah I ordered one myself a while ago and it has held up over an extended period of use, I'm glad that it accepts different types. You know you can't always get exactly what you prefer but when you need to open up options results are what matters.
Which item was this?
@@draydyoc857 Bruh I dunno, it's pretty sad it's taken a month for someone to ask. I was just making fun of OP being so vague. That was some peak boomer post right there, though what should I expect.
@@BakaPope ah I also didn't see what he meant I guess.I didn't know you were starving for attention.
53:00 My choice for an Automatic SHTF watch would be Vostok Amfibia and or Komandirski. Well priced, easy to maintain and adjust. Designed for the good old days Russian military and they can really take a beating before they die.
A CH751 is light and cheap, and it will open a lot of stuff quicker and quieter than a crowbar.
I had to look that up
"gloves and goggles," people!!
Good places to circle on your map now are K-Mart, Dunkin' Donuts, and Brad's Jewelry-n-Stuff. But Home Depot will be stripped-clean.
Absolutely correct. DO THE RIGHT THING. it is what separates us from the animals...and Socialists.
Lmfao, bro we are absolutely animals. Look at any history for examples. Don't kid yourself.
I guess the difference between Scavenging and looting is.
Scavenging is taking supplies from an adomnent lostplace.
what is morally ok.
Looting is just steeling/robing supplies that makes a criminal case.
That let you end up in prison.
Does anyone use a shomer tec killer key? Its supposed to be used for disabling Kwikset and Echlage brand locks. Landlords use them. If they work that well seems like it would be great to have.
Also something to siphon gas from other vehicles
This I prepare for but it really scares me , I won’t survive , Everyone I know thinks I’m crazy , so I have no support . I hope who ever takes everything I have allows me to live so I’m just trying to figure what I can use when I have nothing .
The difference between looting and foraging is the necessity of life. All states say burglary is illegal, but many states excuse the crime if it was done to preserve life.
You should make a list of what you take in case the people come back so you can either give it back or pay them for the items
More like barter. I doubt money will be of any use when everything goes south.
I love the Fubar tool. May be a bit heavy but it would work as a few breaching tools in one
Council tool Haligan
I think i've been a subscriber since 2017?
after all these years, you are still my mentor
much in gratiyude to you
And I still wanna know what green stain you used on the shed!, lol (cabots i bet)
I have an analog watch given to me as a gift from the port director of the port of Murmansk about 20 years ago. It still works great and is accurate to within less than a minute per day. It will survive anything I can survive.
Crank rechargeable flash light. Lock picks. Bolt cutters. Wire cutters. A multi tool with every type of screw head. A crow bar.😂
I found a water bottle with a filter for 2.88$ on Amazon! I started a Eastern Washington communication network up here if anyone wants to join we won’t be taking applications after SHTF
Someone made a great idea on another video. On my ghb, I attached a dump pouch to my waist belt, just a small maxpedition roll up pouch, just to scavenge things omw home.
There is every time law enforcement in place after acm very short time. The laws may differ but every society implements law enforcement. You don't need a federal government or state government in place. The local village will set law enforcement in place. If you want to look for things, organize yourself with the actual organization in charge. Make it "official". When there is a flooding and the infrastructure is destroyed, go to the local fire station or mayor. Tell them, that the ressources that are there have to be secured and divided. There have to be people that secure the grocery store and the goods in the melting freezers have to be rescued and divided before they get bad. You have to organize a big barbecue with all the chicken wings, spare rips and steaks at least on the second day. Everyone is invited (no alcohol!) and you can organize, what has to be done. Fire watch hasvto be organized. Where are disabled/old people and newborn that need help? They have to be supplied out of the grocery store by the organization. Is the medical personel? They have to be organized. If they don't want to leave their family alone the organization has to organize protection and food so that they can provide medical treatment for the citizens.
You have to organize the ressources to use them efficiently. You can organize the scavage. The firemen break the doors of left buildings/shops/companies, four people look for ressources. Money and gold and so on is noticed and removed, so there is no target for looters that are looking for enrichment (and not survival).
Don't plan for the lone wolf scenario that is not existing but in hollywood movies. Plan and prepare for realistic scenarios where the local society has to face and overcome a difficult crisis. It has to be organized locally. Prepare for this. Health Care, Protection, rules enforcement, fire protection (bucket chains, fire watch), water supply, food supply, debris removement, communication (walkie talkies, church bells, trompets, drums, alert chains, bulletin boards, gun shots,...)
There are nearly no prepper videis out there, talking about these essential thing that you need in 99% of the scenarios, but thousands of videos about the zombie apocalypse and scenarios that didn't happen one time in all the human history.

Great Session. Very informative
The problem with gold and silver is water will be worth more than it if the water becomes scarce..... it won't buy you much having gold and silver
At a unspecified AFB I was scrounger of technical hardware. Sometimes it was ss tubing other times it was much more high end. But here are few things I would include.
A helmet with a light mounted on the front.
Hacksaw blades
Knee pads
A large pipe wrench and cheater bar
Coveralls
Radio comms with all other members of your group.
Armor if your not on foot and a security detail to cover your ass.
Some times I was digging up fittings near the land fill so a Bobcat.
A battery reciprocating saw this could replace the hacksaw didn’t have these in 1979.
Some type of truck mounted crane note the only time I got in trouble was if I got caught speed was everything that the why of the crane
What I was doing was grabbing hardware from defunked projects mostly but also I was stealing from a new project or or an semi active test area.
So rules were: remove the power to any solenoid valve, remove the mounting bolts, and the cut the service lines as long as the were not Fuels or Oxidizers
Also scrounges have photographic memory you look at everything scrap bins, dumpsters, wall lockers. If you think you need it take it it will not be there next time.
I would add to the kit would be a Klein security bit set. It’s all in one and works with security bolts to open up many things
I would recommend that the backpack not be camo, it should be more “gray man”looking otherwise you bring to much attention to yourself while traveling.
As for saws I would go with a jab saw that takes Sawzall blades you can replace or swap out blades from demo blades to wood blades to metal cutting blades.
Been picking locks for about a year now and ive found Covert instruments has a lot of good set
Sparrows is way better
@PewLand thanks for the recommendation. I'll take a look at them. Started with Polaris, then covert instruments.
@@amorgan1019 there's nothing wrong with covert instruments I just like the profiles on the sparrows picks much better.
Most are not ready for decisions like that

Hmmmm, a burglary kit. Just kidding. Good video for the subject.
Ive tried to talk about this subject but all I got was thinly veiled death threats.
First of all Sooch the only difference between looters scavenging and survival is the color of the people scavenging for said supplies and you know it
Makita 18v grinder w Diablo cut off wheels and a bunch of battery packs
Don't go around with a kit like this with law in effect, it will be considered a burglary kit . Be careful
Don't forget, take along a 5 lb. Sack of tannerite, to open locked doors! 😂
2" cold chisel. That and a few good shots with the backside of that axe will do in almost any lock. You can put a piece of cloth over the end to help dampen the noise just a bit. Also, Harbor freight makes a cheap hand pump for siphoning gas. You just need to buy a longer pierce of tubing to get to the bottom of most tanks.
I call mine my Vulture Kit. Big-ass pack, reusable grocery bags to help carry extra stuff, hatchet, small bolt cutters, hand pump, cold chisel, side cutters, prybar.
I have collected transistor radios those are one of my main objects. You really want to hear what might be going on if you can
Great video
I think its a good idea to have an extra pre made and hidden kit that you can dig up or retrieve in an emergency if you have to be on the run escaping and evading and dont have time to get the original kit
What do you think about the spax as a scavenger tool?
Put clothing over the hammer if hitting a door or glass to dull the noise
cordless angle grinder, metal and masonary blades.

12:30 Constitutional: arms! As is the right to keep and bear arms. Federal Jurisdiction?: Firearms, pistol, braces, rifles, swords, Assault Weapons, pepper stray, Taser, Stun gun, knife, bullets, rounds etc? Can't all these alleged Legalese Federal Jurisdiction words be known us arms and wouldn't that keep you in the protections of the Constitution/Second Amendment? Are you a "gun" "owner" (legalese?) or are you a keeper and bearer of arms? It may be a wording technicality, but how many people have been put in prison or executed on a technicality?
Bear spray
Im disappointed in you advocating stealing. You have lost ALL of your integrity.
Not at all what he is saying..
