    some may think Evan is weird, but this is just what growing up anxious in the Midwest is like. There's bears, there's makeshift weapons, there's an alarming amount of meth, this is normal shit and I'm so glad Brennan brought that to the table.

      I'm from the midwest and I was like "nah" but I stopped to think about it and realized I do know how to improvise weapons, barracade, and how to attempt to survive animal attacks and we definitely have kind of "spot and avoid" stuff when it comes to meth but there is a lot.
      I don't know if it's more or less weird that I learned most of it from my family.

      You know it’s bad when you get his point of view. Kids been traumatized beyond belief, and finally has something he wants to protect, and a way to be himself without fear. And that can drive you to do battshiz nutty stuff.

      @@defective_emrys As someone who's experiences in life closely resemble Evan's: A bit of both in this particular case. Though generally a jar of grease has multiple applications for survival purposes, which includes lubricating a surface if you have to time to set up a trap and can funnel them down a specific path. Also since animal fat has a lower smoke point a fire started with it will also make it harder to breath and see when used as the primary ignition/fuel source, since fire can be used not only to inflict harm but to ward off an assault entirely.

    This episode was great, but the amount of random knowledge Brennan has about how to fight/survive is a little concerning. Like the sweatshirt shield is not something you would look up to prepare to play a character. I love it, but like how does he know this

      If memory serves Brennan mentioned in an adventuring party that a facet of Evan's backstory he was disappointed never came up was Evan being adopted by a religious doomsday cult.
      Within the special he's defaulting to that learned knowledge.

      Idk a lot of this stuff is pretty common for people who grew up in difficult circumstances like he did. I was lucky enough to have a pretty good family but I had a couple of friends who ended up living rough through high-school and this was the sort of thing they would talk about. Especially the bits about gift cards and keeping useful/important stuff with you at all times

    I think Brennan knows but for those who don't really thick books are not bullet proof and bears often have 2-3 times the bite force of dogs so they will bite clean through that sweater and through your arm removing it.

    • @matiaspereyra9392
      @matiaspereyra9392 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      He did say "you're gonna lose your arm" so i think evan is banking on the sweater to basically bend around the teeth so when the bear rips your arm off that the sweater will make the swallowing difficult so then you can flee or stab ut or something
