Thanks. My wife and I are both getting our bags ready for cold weather. I still love my pup tent. Single wall but I never tie the door or window closed so no condensation issues. We had a great meeting at church and everyone is on the same page for beefing up security. I hate that it is necessary but it is.
Something i always carry, but rarely see mentioned is a good set of binoculars or a monocular. It can be very beneficial to see whats up ahead, be it terrain, a threat, an obstacle, or even just a scenic view. Always good to have
Enjoying seeing how you approach your situation. I’m retired now. I live in the mountains of Virginia, but used to work in an urban area 45 miles and one mountain away. My backup transportation at work was a bike in the back of my truck. So my get home bag was kept at 20-25Liters, with no hip belt, and as light as possible. I carried pepper spray for dogs and people, large flashlight for defense or for seeing at a greater distance, and pistol, with 3 mags ( 46 rds) that had raised tritium night sights and weapons light. I carried Frog togg rain pants and M81 Gortex Jacket. And a fleece warming layer and fleece watch cap, and work and insulated gloves. I carried 2 liters of water and 20 oz Gatorade for hydration. And four snickers bars. I always carry a Swiss Army knife, and added a small roll of one inch gorilla tape, mil bug net, and headlamp. Because there are plenty of places to hang a simple hammock off the road I carried one all 4 seasons. I use a SOL Mylar bivy with a small hole at the end to let the hammock line through so I can pull the bivy up all around me like a cocoon while hanging. The Mylar reflects a lot of heat. But every where you touch it it will be cold. I bring a folding Matt to use in the hammock or on the ground. I wear every layer Ive got including rain gear to stay warm. The small hole in the Mylar bivy is reinforced with Gorilla tape so it won’t tear. I use a poncho as a tarp or as a cover over the bivy. An Alcohol cat tin stove with GI cup and HEET yellow bottle, is essential to increase core temperature with hot tea, hot choc, or ramen. I don’t sleep on the ground unless I really need to stay super hidden. Even in winter camping I pitch my tarp straight down to the ground on both sides of the hammock to block wind and retain heat. I’m not looking to spend the night or day camping but to get 2-4 hours of rest if I can’t make it home right away..
They approached the Navy SEALs with a calming breathing method, squared breathing or yoga breathing. They generally scoffed at the idea, they didn't need yoga breathing. So they came back and said we have this new method called tactical breathing. They loved it. All they did was change the name. I think of that with rubber bands being called ranger bands. Rubber bands aren't cool.
Kudos to you, (all over you). Most peoople say they like the 'down' because they can squeeze the air out, and take up very little room. They fail to realize some take that literally, and store it squeezed up. You explained why that is not done, when in storage sitting around. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box, that's why I liked you mentioning that.
You are doing great with the gear and preparation,my father would have loved to seen it I. I wish I had more of my own things in place than I do but I will be there soon and we don't live far apart and if u have already had a frost then I'm running behind
Another Awsome video, very informative, and you're right, with the climate of what all is happening in the world right now, i think everyone should have a bag like this ready to go at a moments notice. I got some good ideas of a few things to add to mines that i hadn't considered, keep up the great content.
Great setup JS3, one thing i keep ,may be useful to you is some sort of optic ( bino,monoc,nv etc) to scan for threats . Another item i would have is a long arm (henry) .be safe brother ,its crazy out there 👍👍👍👍👍
Thumbs up for the loosey goosey joke! I enjoyed the video. You have a great practical setup and it appears you actually use it. So many people have "bags of stuff" videos and a lot of the gear is still in wrappers. Your stuff is well worn. Good job.
I sat very attentively, watching & listening to you from start to finish. I felt like I was back in school (glad though I’m not being tested). I wrote everything down (2-page list). Great job 👌 I do think, I just might have a passing score😊❤️
Would be helpful to get the dry weight of that pack, plus your guidance on what percent body weight a pack should weigh for ground coverage in a foot-power bug out scenario.
I’ve never been a fan of the body weight percentage for a pack. That works fine for the military but for the general population it is not effective. How much you can carry very much depends on your health and fitness level. Are you overweight, underweight, sedentary, knee injuries, bad back? Put the items that you “NEED” in the pack. Train with that. If it’s no problem then you can add some of the “want-to-have” items.
Nice rig. I live between the Catskills and the Adirondacks so it gets pretty cold up here at night. I think I could survive with your pack, but I have to take the water in at night if I'm not driving.
Keep sprite/7up in your vehicle for winter. The sugar and carbonation keeps it from freezing. If you open it before warming it above 32F, it will freeze solid when you open it.
Kept stopping and rewatching parts to take notes and check where to get some of this stuff in Canada! Might watch again! Love your attitude, you are always sharing info in a friendly and approachable manner, without the big ego or salesy attitude of many (most) out there. Thank you for that!! 🙏
I guess the only thing I would add is a list of the contents. Sometimes when I go thru my bags, I find things that I forgot that I packed. Often with multiple bags and kits, I forget what I have in each one.
The Gore-Tex bivy had mine for well over 20 years would not give it up for anything especially in the winter. I have woken up in the morning in the rain and I'm dry inside that bad boy on the ground. As far as carrying a 10 liter bladder, each liter weighs like 2.2 lb. You're in Georgia and I'm in Alabama there's water everywhere. Just carry a way to filter or boil it. I'm more concerned about weight in the summertime than I am in the winter time. Remember travel light freeze at night. Good video keep up the good work
All the good stuff right there. It's always interesting to watch an experienced individual's loadout from time to time, especially when seasons are changing.👍🏻
Oh my do we know about losing and finding stuff. Lost a fly reel on a trip out west over a year ago. Mr. B found it yesterday cleaning and winter upgrade of camper van.
Good stuff as usual Jason. I just picked up one of those Stanley cook pots after seeing yours. I think I like it better than the smaller cup I’ve been using for many years. Larger volume and it sits well on my Trangia, butane, and twig stoves.
@OyBOY-ig9bp i like having heavier duty protective items in my vehicle. I have a lock box bolted in that supports such items. Also have a kinda custom alarm system. (A friend made it for me from components. )
I truly love your set up! Wish you were making two of these! One for an AMAZING SUPER GAW! WITH AN EBIKE AND SOLAR GENERATOR WITH PANELS! THAT WOULD BE HUGE! But great video! Keep them coming!
👍👍...Good vid....good stuff...tailoring ur kit to your environment and Thanks...(just as a suggestion, a small portable/foldable 20W solar power panel array for those rechargeables and powerbanks might be a nice addition for the bag Just in case you need to or become seperated from your vehicle ..and I Vacume seal some items in groups ( Food, Comms, Power, Firestarters, etc), and or use gallon size heavy duty zip loc bags) ...makes things more compact 👍👍
You are certainly very well prepared Jason, much more so than me. I think that more people need to check out On 3, as things deteriorate world wide. Nice job!
I encourage; using a SeaLine water proofing bag, using a belt and harness with pouches and a smaller ruck, “dummy cording” your items to your pockets, large chunk of pitch wood, synthetic sleeping bag/ happy suit insulation, all for when circumstance conspires against you. The only thing maybe replacing my venerable M81 Woodland Gortex bivy bag is possibly the newer lighter weight “Special Forces” bivy. 2 Tarps OR a Poncho and a tarp combo in the mid latitudes, forest, swamps, desert, always.
Really enjoy your content. Something I'd like to see is creative uses for the trash bag. I know I can put leaves in them and use as a ground pad, I can put them between poles and have a 'cot', I can use them as rain gear or a dry bag. What else could there be?
I'm throwing some pain meds in there. You never know what can pop off (tooth pain, headache, hurt yourself somehow) and pain or a temperature could keep you from reaching a place of medical help. My combat medic buddy also keeps magnesium supplements. He told me he gives it to his ops guys and it works better than acetaminophen (for headaches).
Lots of great info and items in this video! It'd be great if in a comment you could make a list that we could print so that in case we can't take notes that's enough or don't know the exact spelling of a particular item brand it would be very helpful to have a list to print out please. One thing I noticed, you put the map and compass into a pouch one the backpack. It didn't look like it was protected by anything other than the actual backpack pouch. I think it would be a good idea for the paper map to be in an extra waterproof bag in the actual pouch as double protection because if the map gets wet it would get ruined. Thank you for sharing this great information with us!!
A really great video. I'm from Georgia down in Carroll County. I use to go camping and climbing in Tallulah Gorge back in the 70s and early 80s loved it there.
Jason, thank you for yet another excellent video! For suggestions/comments: what about adding Pedialyte or liquid IV packets? I have at least 5-7 packets in my bag at all times and they’ve helped me more than the majority of other equip in my bag! Thanks again for the great content, stay safe!
I have a very similar truck bag, slightly more defensive options but let’s pray we never need any of it. The bag included lol. The truck bag is not a ruck sack, bug out bag or camping bag. It’s strictly a get home bag. As a carpenter, I usually have over an hour drive to work and back. That’s a long walk lol. Keep up the great work and stay frosty.
My bag is "weigh" too heavy but I always figured I could throw out or share some of the stuff I don't need if I feel it is slowing me down. If you weigh everything.... my pack, my "fishing gear", clothes I'm wearing, and all my food it is about 100 lbs. 50 or 60 of that is the pack 10 or 20 is food and water and the rest is tactical fishing gear. I am told that is too much but I can't seem to get it any lower without losing very important stuff.
100 pounds is a lot. That would definitely be too much for me to carry more than a couple of miles. I would suggest that you break the gear down into two piles. Need to haves and want to haves. Figure out which of the want to haves you really want to keep and try and do away with the rest. Also, look into lighter options that can still get the job done.
I was in the Infantry... blah blah blah. Anyways, put a wet weather bag in your ruck and fill it with all of your clothing or anything you don't want to get wet and pack it either according to weight(heavy things higher and closer to the frame) or according to importance(things you use more often towards the top of the wet weather bag) or both. Learn your equipment, test it, figure out what works and what doesn't, it's okay to not use something you bought if it doesn't make you and your gear fluid(functional) leave it at home, just like your weapons the gear is an extension of you to increase your lethality and survivability. Also excluding the ruck the BIVY is the best thing, it's water proof/resistant so even if it rains you're good, wrap up your ruck with the poncho and curl up in the bivy with your boots and socks at the bottom of the bivy so the can dry while you sleep and also so snakes, scorpions, spiders, or mice don't hide in your boots. Be careful not to make holes in them! And just in case bring a small sewing kit(there's a small usgi style one). Extra lighters. Extra 550 and 100mph tape. Always always always more socks, take care of your feet, it holds all the weight of your body so good boots and socks. I like Merrell boots. Winter time wool socks. Anything that goes in my bags will be in either a plastic bag or wet weather bag so even if it rains or snows my stuff is dry. Also as an Infantryman you never leave your primary more than an arms length away from you and you hold it at night like it's your woman(inside the bivy with you). To each their own but ima have extra ammo. 7 mags or 210 rounds aint gonna get anyone anywhere just so people realize that. Fight Tonight is what we used to say in Korea, on the border, because we never knew if we would be fighting that night against the North Koreans. So if you were to have to fight tonight are you ready? Make sure your go to war bags are packed and when the time comes you're ready. Also for anyone that doesn't know your poncho and poncho liner(woobie) are an amazing combination year round that are invaluable. The woobie or poncho liner dries quickly, it's comfy, cozy, and pretty dang warm not for a stand alone in the winter but when your it's a brisk 5am and you want to smoke a butt and drink a cup of coffee but you wanna feel cozy so you put on your fleece cap and fleece jacket combined with your woobie, a brisk morning just became a cozy morning lol. Anyways people this country is Mystery Babylon spoken of in Revelation. If you want truth open your Bible(KJV is hard but well worth the time). Jesus saved me from myself back in the beginning of 2021❤️ I was looking for love, joy, peace, a life worth living, or even just to feel something other than anger or sadness. I looked for fulfillment in many places trying to find my happiness. The problem was it was never attainable. When I felt how much Jesus loved me and how He washed me clean and how much peace He gave me, I couldn't even believe it. I still can't believe how much He has healed me. As things get harder and the world gets crazier, He is just giving me peace about it. It's not that I won't have to suffer but it's like life is so fragile and temporary, but the eternal is forever. We as a country have done so much evil it's actually crazy, most of it is behind closed doors under lock and key held by the occult. And we as a population have gone through generations of programming that has completely morphed what we perceive as reality. I didn't realize how much I was programed until Jesus got a hold of my life, ever since then I've been learning what that saying "truth is stranger than fiction" meant. Anyways don't wait to build your relationship with Jesus! He loves you and is the only one that will be able to help us through the times ahead, by His strength. I love yall and hope you have blessed day❤️
Excellent choices. Hard to see an extra. I am old and not as active, but as I recall things broke too often. You might consider a sail needle -- you have a multitool to pull it I generally had some fishing line for thread od course, since I had some fishing line I threw in a couple of hooks and weights just in case I need to extend the food. Winter up here means ice, so don't need fancy gear.
The only thing I can think of would be to put that sleeping bag in a waterproof 50l dry bag. They are pretty cheap insurance to have and you wouldnt need to compress it if you dont want. When i go hunting i throw my pillows and blankets in one just in case. Came in handy last time because i dropped it in a puddle as soon as i got there. Luckily, it was good to go.
I use pelter sport rangeguard earpro and each earcup has a mic so that I can tell where the amplified sound is coming from. (from the left or right etc) which is great for situational awareness. Do the walkers have a similar setup? The reason I ask is because the Walkers have an optional FRS radio attachment that the peltors do not, which I was interested in all things being equal
A Sherpa, I'd need someone to help me carry all that. I'm 78 YO, cancer survivor and I probably couldn't make two laps around the grocery store carrying that.
Just started going through my bag today and setting up a truck bag in case of who knows these days I carry CCW everywhere so I added a rifle that's about the only difference
Yes! I have done several videos featuring it. Take a look at the On3 Jason Salyer Playlist and you will probably find what you are looking for. Also did a series building the truck on my channel On Three. Check it out!
y use down on the east coast? A synthetic i think would be much better. Not as warm as down per inch of loft but the poly dont compress as much and drys better. Just a consideration from an old man.
I’d put the tarp at the top, it’s the first thing you’ll want to access if it’s raining and you need shelter. It’d be interesting to know the actual weight. My guess is you’re way over 25 pounds. But that’s the ultralight backpacking nerd in me coming out…
What model if any are the Walker’s ear protection? I would love to see you on the Alone show, I think you’d win unless a bear ate you or some other misfortune happened.
What do you oil your leather gloves with? I've only tried Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP but it is more of a solid wax cream. Good for boots but left my gloves a tad sticky. They have an oil version but I don't own any of that.
Hey Jason, Just curious to hear your thought process behind having the protected lighter in your bag and a normal one in your pocket. Didn’t you previously have them switched around, carrying the Exotac’d one on you? Thanks!
I am attempting to not have so much crap in my pockets. The waterproof case adds a significant amount of bulk and is probably not necessary for my daily life.
Thanks for watching friends!! If you would like to help support what we do look into becoming an insider! tinyurl.com/27f495t9
Thanks. My wife and I are both getting our bags ready for cold weather. I still love my pup tent. Single wall but I never tie the door or window closed so no condensation issues. We had a great meeting at church and everyone is on the same page for beefing up security. I hate that it is necessary but it is.
With your pen and pencil, I would add a Sharpie Marker. Have you tried Peak refuel freeze dry meals, I think they are a step up from Mountain House.
Thanks Jason!
Love those 🎧 headphones that's a must get!!
Something i always carry, but rarely see mentioned is a good set of binoculars or a monocular. It can be very beneficial to see whats up ahead, be it terrain, a threat, an obstacle, or even just a scenic view. Always good to have

You can make your own ranger bands out of bicycle tube

You’re always the most informative person who is actually regularly using their gear. I know I can always depend on you for real education
Watch the batteries and the Grayl filter in the freezing temps. Sweet setup! PDS

If you ask 1000 people what you missed, you'd get 2000 answers. I, for one, think you did a great job with the allocated space. Nailed it.
Ha! I think you are probably right. Thanks!

The maps I use are waterproof.
Impressed ! And I like the first backpack
USGI woodland goretex bivy is an absolute winter staple in my kit.. worth its weight in gold as you said weather is uncertain in winter!!✌️💚✊️🔥
Lol I commented this before you said it's going for sure 😅 great minds think alike ✌️💚✊️🔥
Impossible to beat a bivy & poncho hooch in north Georgia.

Arizona just had the hottest summer in 30 yrs, the most days over 110f in history. Looking forward to a temperature drop!
Very thought out load out Jason I would add 2 or 3 mylar sheets

You got to have your poncho, I like having my springsuit
See ya on the next one
Am quite sure it's there for a reason.
I was in the Infantry... blah blah blah. Anyways, put a wet weather bag in your ruck and fill it with all of your clothing or anything you don't want to get wet and pack it either according to weight(heavy things higher and closer to the frame) or according to importance(things you use more often towards the top of the wet weather bag) or both. Learn your equipment, test it, figure out what works and what doesn't, it's okay to not use something you bought if it doesn't make you and your gear fluid(functional) leave it at home, just like your weapons the gear is an extension of you to increase your lethality and survivability. Also excluding the ruck the BIVY is the best thing, it's water proof/resistant so even if it rains you're good, wrap up your ruck with the poncho and curl up in the bivy with your boots and socks at the bottom of the bivy so the can dry while you sleep and also so snakes, scorpions, spiders, or mice don't hide in your boots. Be careful not to make holes in them! And just in case bring a small sewing kit(there's a small usgi style one). Extra lighters. Extra 550 and 100mph tape. Always always always more socks, take care of your feet, it holds all the weight of your body so good boots and socks. I like Merrell boots. Winter time wool socks. Anything that goes in my bags will be in either a plastic bag or wet weather bag so even if it rains or snows my stuff is dry. Also as an Infantryman you never leave your primary more than an arms length away from you and you hold it at night like it's your woman(inside the bivy with you). To each their own but ima have extra ammo. 7 mags or 210 rounds aint gonna get anyone anywhere just so people realize that. Fight Tonight is what we used to say in Korea, on the border, because we never knew if we would be fighting that night against the North Koreans. So if you were to have to fight tonight are you ready? Make sure your go to war bags are packed and when the time comes you're ready. Also for anyone that doesn't know your poncho and poncho liner(woobie) are an amazing combination year round that are invaluable. The woobie or poncho liner dries quickly, it's comfy, cozy, and pretty dang warm not for a stand alone in the winter but when your it's a brisk 5am and you want to smoke a butt and drink a cup of coffee but you wanna feel cozy so you put on your fleece cap and fleece jacket combined with your woobie, a brisk morning just became a cozy morning lol. Anyways people this country is Mystery Babylon spoken of in Revelation. If you want truth open your Bible(KJV is hard but well worth the time). Jesus saved me from myself back in the beginning of 2021❤️ I was looking for love, joy, peace, a life worth living, or even just to feel something other than anger or sadness. I looked for fulfillment in many places trying to find my happiness. The problem was it was never attainable. When I felt how much Jesus loved me and how He washed me clean and how much peace He gave me, I couldn't even believe it. I still can't believe how much He has healed me. As things get harder and the world gets crazier, He is just giving me peace about it. It's not that I won't have to suffer but it's like life is so fragile and temporary, but the eternal is forever. We as a country have done so much evil it's actually crazy, most of it is behind closed doors under lock and key held by the occult. And we as a population have gone through generations of programming that has completely morphed what we perceive as reality. I didn't realize how much I was programed until Jesus got a hold of my life, ever since then I've been learning what that saying "truth is stranger than fiction" meant. Anyways don't wait to build your relationship with Jesus! He loves you and is the only one that will be able to help us through the times ahead, by His strength. I love yall and hope you have blessed day❤️
Excellent choices. Hard to see an extra. I am old and not as active, but as I recall things broke too often. You might consider a sail needle -- you have a multitool to pull it I generally had some fishing line for thread od course, since I had some fishing line I threw in a couple of hooks and weights just in case I need to extend the food. Winter up here means ice, so don't need fancy gear.
My exotac ripspool has a large needle and thread for repairs. A small fishing kit is a good call.
You can vacuum pack down without earning it if you want to store it for emergency only.. The air force vacuum packs its arctic bags in its airplanes.
The only thing I can think of would be to put that sleeping bag in a waterproof 50l dry bag. They are pretty cheap insurance to have and you wouldnt need to compress it if you dont want. When i go hunting i throw my pillows and blankets in one just in case. Came in handy last time because i dropped it in a puddle as soon as i got there. Luckily, it was good to go.
Good call!
The Grayl filter is quiet large, more difficult to keep it from freezing.
I stick it in my sleeping bag at night.
@@SurvivalDispatch Always a good thing to do.
Try Bacitracin coated cotton swabs. They then are dull use 😊
Stripped down MREs, 2 or 3 will go 5 or 6 days. Don't use them for everything, but this is an emergency setup....
Great video. Going to order a Big Boy. Can't remember, did you mention any flashlights or lanterns for light?
I carry a small single aaa brass Olight. I keep a couple of headlamps in my truck.
I use pelter sport rangeguard earpro and each earcup has a mic so that I can tell where the amplified sound is coming from. (from the left or right etc) which is great for situational awareness. Do the walkers have a similar setup? The reason I ask is because the Walkers have an optional FRS radio attachment that the peltors do not, which I was interested in all things being equal
Not sure about that. I’d be interested in knowing as well.
A Sherpa, I'd need someone to help me carry all that. I'm 78 YO, cancer survivor and I probably couldn't make two laps around the grocery store carrying that.
Just started going through my bag today and setting up a truck bag in case of who knows these days I carry CCW everywhere so I added a rifle that's about the only difference
Let’s pray we don’t need them.
Have you done any videos on your truck? It looks very functional. Great video.
Yes! I have done several videos featuring it. Take a look at the On3 Jason Salyer Playlist and you will probably find what you are looking for. Also did a series building the truck on my channel On Three. Check it out!
y use down on the east coast? A synthetic i think would be much better. Not as warm as down per inch of loft but the poly dont compress as much and drys better. Just a consideration from an old man.
The down in this sleeping bag has been treated. It does not absorb water. Not sure how it works but it is pretty amazing. Thanks!
Eye protection possibly.
Good call. I keep clear eye pro on the dash of my truck.
@@SurvivalDispatch I realized after I wrote it. My bad. Do you have a sewing or repair kit in ur excellent bag? Char cloth.
Some type of Clear Eyes or sterile eye drops to flush the eyes, if needed.
I’d put the tarp at the top, it’s the first thing you’ll want to access if it’s raining and you need shelter.
It’d be interesting to know the actual weight. My guess is you’re way over 25 pounds. But that’s the ultralight backpacking nerd in me coming out…
Irrigating wounds of debris is always a fun activity in the woods🪓🩸
Ha! Sure is!
Emp protect electronics?
Great vid!! Ferro rod possibly?
I think there was a small one in my mesh bag.
What model if any are the Walker’s ear protection? I would love to see you on the Alone show, I think you’d win unless a bear ate you or some other misfortune happened.
Hahahahaha!! Not sure which exact model. Had them for a while.
Forgot your toothbrush 😃
Missing the wife and kids!😊 I would add an extra small olight.
Can’t have too many flashlights.
Awesome set up mate, great video. Would you ever consider a keltec sub 2000 it take G mags. Respect from 🇬🇧👍😎💪🌱🌲
I am not a fan of the sub 2000. Tried one out and was not impressed.
👌
What pack is that? I like it.
What kind of radio was that you have
Substaintial load & dealing only with what you have. We assume this setup is only for yourself. How heavy when it's fully loaded? Cheers mate.
Fully loaded with food and water it will probably weigh about 35-40 pounds.
What type of radio?
🙏🏽💪🏽🤘🏽
What do you oil your leather gloves with? I've only tried Obenauf's Heavy Duty LP but it is more of a solid wax cream. Good for boots but left my gloves a tad sticky. They have an oil version but I don't own any of that.
Not sure yet. I was planning on using a mink oil blend.
What Is a Shamaz?
What holster is that?
❤
Its not trash, its extra chest seals staged for when you cant reach your IFAK.
What gear would you suggest for morth michigan?
Much of the same shown in this video but with a sleeping bag rated for lower temps.
@@SurvivalDispatchthanks
Handwarmers!!! Shovel and kitty litter in your truck in case you get stuck.
What bag is that?
The kitchen sink, roflmbo
Hey Jason,
Just curious to hear your thought process behind having the protected lighter in your bag and a normal one in your pocket. Didn’t you previously have them switched around, carrying the Exotac’d one on you?
Thanks!
I am attempting to not have so much crap in my pockets. The waterproof case adds a significant amount of bulk and is probably not necessary for my daily life.
@@SurvivalDispatch Thank you!👍🏻
What poncho are you using? 👍
Helikon Tex
@@SurvivalDispatch appreciate the feed back, thanks 🙏
What AAA battery flashlight do you carry?
Also wondering
Olight i3teos
@@SurvivalDispatch I carry it too lol I keep thinking of going to something brighter BUT the I3T E0S is durable, and reliable.
Id say you're ready
Let’s hope so.
Where’s the TP are you gonna just use yer wipes
I prefer pine cones.
Just food for thought but 10 gallons of water is going to add a bit over 22 pounds of weight to your pack.
One gallon of water weighs just over 8 lbs … www.thecalculatorsite.com/articles/units/how-much-gallon-of-water-weigh.php
Gat rides my belt. Spare mags/ammo in pack/truck....
Wait your a lefty?(handedness)
Yep
World changing information 😂
