I have been bikepacking for years, starting in the 1980s, it is one of my favorite ways of camping. The one consideration that most don't think of is the bicycles weight limit, most are at 250 pounds and this obviously includes the rider and gear, with the wheels being the weakest point. There are a few bicycles that are made strong enough to handle this weight limit, and Jones Plus LWB HD bicycle is my go-to bike. If weight is not an issue, just about any mountain bike will do, just get a steel frame and wide tires. And, no I don't recommend E-bikes for exactly the reasons mentioned. A bicycle trailer can help and garden utility carts can be used with little modifications, and are easily removed, but for tight trails they are cumbersome.
50k that's its about time! You are one of the first prepping channels I seen on TH-cam and still one of the best. Honestly no cap your shit seems more genuine and informative than the others. Congrats you deserve it.
Just watched a video you did 7 years ago. It's amazing how you have or haven't changed your presentation. It is basically the same, which means you are obviously doing something right ✅️. I live in the UK 🇬🇧 and we don't really have a wilderness. We have wild areas but we have a large population for a small nation. We have to have urban survival skills. I've been all over the country hitchhiking for years, and we are overcrowded, to say the least.
A video worth watching. The stealth importance is expressed, it is the Behind Enemy Lines philosophy that keeps the individual much safer, and I am glad to hear it expressed that way.
Imagine having to do it every day, every night for years. You get so good at it you don't have think about it. You also realize just who are the scum and vermin that represents society. I would like to show some of it, like being rousted. Importance is having a Bicycle is expressed. How to hop freight with a bicycle is not easy but I've seen it done before. More Stealth Camping should be taught and how to move invisibly through the Urban Environment.
A nice surprise to see the jungle King appear here. Not many would agree, but I still use a knock-off and it stlii performs flawlessly. The best knife is the one present, not the one at home.
I kind of like the emphasis on planning, but instead of making it seem like a daunting and possibly boring task you take us with you on these reconnaissance missions and road trips. The good thing is that anyone can do this although you may be reviewing or trying out different gear, we can work with that we have and a regular human powered bicycle is affordable for anyone really since used ones are easy enough to find. I don't want to mention any channels or names, unless we were talking privately, but sometimes former military guys who prep often want to talk about theories and they forget that people need clear information and they need to know what to do and how to do it. And many people don't have a 4wd drive vehicles, ATV on a trailer, and a collection of firearms and multiple high dollar emergency kits in expensive backpacks. It's good that you recognize this. We want quality gear, but we can get by, adapt and repurpose. Add the knowledge and skills and we're all going to have a better chance of survival.
As usual quality content both helpful, thought provoking, and entertaining. The bike is an underrated piece of kit. I have been experimenting with a bike, as a get home, recon, bug out, vehicle, if my truck is out of the picture. I’ve been looking at distributing extra non cor 10 C items around the bike. Such as the sleeping system on the handle Bars, a little bigger duffle than yours with strap at the rear for extra water, food, cooking. Tent or tarp on frame.
When picking out a bike, get a front suspension or no suspension, make sure the frame is 100% chromoly (the most durable and rugged material). Get thorn proof tubes get several tire patch kits and (pedros tire levers Very important) Bring every single tool for the bike you have. Get fast rolling tires not Too knobby. Like a schwalabe big Apple. Put bmx handlebars or your mountain bike. Then have a beer.
Exurban survival strategy. Bug in. Small town in rural Iowa here. I feel bad for city people who have to plan leaving on foot or a bicycle or even in a vehicle. It will be a while before the zombie hoards get to us. By the time it happens the town militia will be manning the access roads into town. The big problem will be the dazzling young exurbanites that barely know how to cook and have three days of food in the house. Most of that goes in the microwave for three minutes. They will have to go to the food distribution center run by the churches and the National Guard. Our garden may take a hit. But again, few of them know what to do with raw vegetables besides slicing tomatoes and giving the kids a raw carrot. Two generators, one for the house, one to run a refrigerator or freezer for the neighbor so their food doesn't spoil in the short run. I have a siphon to get gasoline out of their vehicle. I plan to leave some in the tank so they can get to refill it. A short/medium term power outage is a chance to show your neighbors you care, get some extra gasoline and possibly make some extra money. For our own home, we keep our vehicles topped off with fuel all the time. We have a stockpile of food, water, water purification, have your neighbors know we have guns and ammo and brag about how well my spouse can shoot. I've seen my wife hit a golf ball on a string reliably at 15 yards and at times to 30 yards with her concealed carry piece, a compact 9mm. With a scoped 223 I've seen her do that at 120 yards. Next, some other skills, for the long term outage, the one that may last a couple years. We know gardening, making wine, vinegar, are raising fruit bushes, trees and vines and working on a pretty good medicinal herb garden. We both sew a bit, cook, fish, shoot, she crochets, weaves, cans, ferments, preserves. I've done some bricklaying, bicycle repair, reload and maintain the guns. I also walk my dog a thousand plus miles a year wearing a 25 pound pack. I'm the one in the family or neighborhood that sharpens things. Axes, knives, lawn mower blades, by hand, keeping the metal cool. Living in a prairie state we won't bug out to the mountains. The big issues here are tornadoes, blizzards, windstorms, and corn field fires. If we have to leave for any of these the hotels are less than an hour away or the in-laws are 4 hours away. We are pretty well sheilded from the corn field fires. Our roof is less than three years old. Tools, hand tools for mechanical work, this week I'm replacing a belt on the tiller, Three years ago I rebuilt the carb on same. Power tools.The usual, drill, tiller, circular saw, chain saw, sander. Garden tools, enough to keep six people busy. Reloading 410, 20 ga., 380, 9mm, 223. other hand tools, some masonry stuff, chisels, punches, pry bars, assortment of hammers, fence post setter, files, axe, hatchet, machete and so on. Chemicals, TriChlor, various solvents, oils, fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, sulfuric acid, adhesives, caulk, patching cement, drywall compound Household goods, year's supply of detergents and cleaning products, well stocked first aid, two tarps big enough to cover the roof, nails and lumber to hold it in place, tapes, rope, cord, nails, screws, light gauge wire, heavy gauge wire, air filters for furnace, batteries, light bulbs, blankets, comforters, pillows, two cots and a spare bed, zip ties, velcro, canning supplies, tire patch kits... Reloading supplies, enough for a few years of 72 hours depending on the circumstances, all stored in fire resistant containers per SAAMI recomendations People in town who know us, lawyer, police, doctor, dentist, electrician, carpenter, goat raiser, city hall, grocer, baker, horse raiser, boy scout leaders, the Mayor, a beginning blacksmith, a couple shade tree mechanics who have raced dirt tracks. Shopping habits, bulk, some wholesale, some auction. We buy whole cuts of meat and cut them down, whole chickens, etc. I fillet every fish big enough to keep. Background, me, chemical process engineer by trade, also have done some production labor, waste water treatment, cooking. Wife, EMT, hospice worker, restaurant manager, assistant head chef, baker, raised on a farm. She's helped butcher hogs as a kid. The car I've driven for the past 20 years got 40 miles per gallon. At 140k miles I gave it to my daughter the homesteader in Maine. The Silverado is well maintained and has 35k miles. Wife's car is well maintained and has 70k miles. I've had conversations with our Mayor about the state of civilization. He knows he has a militia of at least 200 well armed men and older teens with dozens of veterans aged 28-75. We probably have 1,500 to 2,500 guns in town and an estimated one to two million rounds of ammo. We have pretty good kids in town. It has been years since a car was broken into and the tagger stopped tagging stuff after four months last year. Someone straightened the kid out. It is a quiet town where a 66 year old guy can walk town unmolested with his dog. People tend to watch out for each other here, mow a lawn, shovel some snow, bring a meal, lend a tool, that kind of stuff. In a short crisis I'll be keeping refrigerators or furnaces running. If SHTF I'm in the rear lines, running food or ammo to the front line.
I recommend you reinforce your tarp grommets with some gorilla tape and the seams. Dave Canterbury and Ranger Survival and Field Craft have videos on subject. Maybe a cart to carry additional supplies attached to bike. I found one that can carry 300 pounds of gear.
Excellent, great to see ya...here's a tip that I forgot to mention...be sure to get a bike that is a size smaller than suggested for your height and inseam. You want lots of stand over room and ease of movement on and off the bike.
I live in a fairly large city. Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Most people really don't consider the reality of the SHTF situation while in the city. You are right. Behind enemy lines. The biggest and most dangerous situation is to get out. I'm an avid cyclist and my first line of transportation by choice is my Surely Ogre. Great video.
6:12..Agreed...$1500 cad for FLIR Scout TK Handheld Thermal Imaging Monocular 7:18...I have both...and prefer the silky saw , its teeth are more aggressive than laplander. But the laplander is more cheaper than silky saw. 7:40...I never thought about the Thermal blocking option with that tarp...interesting. 8:53 .. Have no clue what that bugout bag brand is.?? Price ?? Dimensions etc ?? Went to the Website and only saw 3V backpacks . Why is your video , dark and grainy looking ? Is this for subject effect ?
Wow that much for the TK? I paid $499 USD. Not sure what the conversion rate is…agreed about the saw and yes about the thermals I texted my Tk Scout with that Mylar tarp and it made me “invisible” 😎
Railroad tracks will take you anywhere; and I've found unless being used, and there's cover, nobody pays much attention to them. Bike rocks ⚠️. Bravo Zulu here. Can't add much more.
Thanks and your absolutely right, RR tracks are a great asset. I believe there is an attachment available for the bike to enable one to ride on the actual track
A full real bug out simulation could be so interesting. Not that much content on youtube sadly, greetings from Québec Canada and keep up the good work my friend!
content is limited because it doesn't perform as well as other content. I still create anyways because I'm simply documenting my own evolution and training...something I would do whether I was on YT or not :) Glad you liked it! Videos like this take a TON of work
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Cause it isn’t realistic. I mean. You can’t use it during the day, like you said. And you REALLY can’t use it at night since, you know. Mountain biking in the dark is impossible. The only real scenario I can see for dirtbikes or MTB would be more For a get home situation in / on your vehicle. MTB and dirtbiking require skills and the average person won’t be able to quite them casually. I’ve got thousands of miles mountain biking and have done and won (the old dude, slow class) quite a few dirtbike Enduros. Your time is better spent doing cardio and weights.
@@marktechsci def have some good points here, but i have to disagree overall. w/ the lights on my bike I ride consistently on trails in the dark. nothing too technical or crazy speed but it works. i also have a deep background in MTB, building bikes, racing, etc. None really with dirt bikes, but that will change soon. So choose wisely...time of day and tracks. Now I've upgraded to an ebike that is a whole different ballgame lol
@ So you think it is unsafe to move during the day, but safe to ride at night with a light on? I hate to say it, but you won’t last 2 minutes on your bike at night, behind enemy lines with your big ol’ LEDs. Let’s hope the enemy is this smart.
@@marktechsci i personally don't like blanket black and white statements b/c there are so many variables at play and many we cannot predict. so let me clarify. proper light discipline is key. blasting a massive led is probably not a good idea. I run low power led and have filters as well. movement during the day in open space is probably never a good idea. but under cover and concealment, think heavily wooded areas with big canopy is not a bad idea and we see this in use daily in Ukraine. overall the bike has been a huge asset in the history of warfare from WW1 to extensive use by the VC and now extensive use in Ukraine with e bikes.
What drew you to the Aitor knife? Curious as it’s limited in its applications as a lone tool for survival although that’s what it’s intended purpose is✌️
so that knife is very special to me. my grandfather purchased it wayyyyy back, many years ago and when he died, I got it. At first I had dismissed it as just a cheap "rambo" knife but then when I actually started using, I was shocked at how tough and useful it was.
Thanks for the content, I found it very informative. My only concern is the drone, I am leery about a device that can fly away if something goes haywire with the software/ hardware. As for cover how do you feel about the waxed canvas watch coat from reliance outfitters?
If you check out the blog post you’ll get a full set of details on the gear. I carry two trash can liners which can be filled with pine needles. If I was goin to be in a colder environment I would pack a sleeping pad and bag on my bike rack
I know a couple people that have had their EV bikes spontaneous combust and almost burned their houses down. Being by salt water would make it more dangerous. No thanks. I love that bike you use in here
Love your channel been here a long time!! I have one suggestion if you don't ditch the CNOC bag throw a smart water bottle in just for when "not if" the bag breaks!!✊️🔥✌️💚
@TheSurvivalOutpost I've been really into ultralight through hikers load out videos they have such excellent ideas in simplicity and longterm use lots of hidden gems in the community!!
Can you please make an updated video on your backpack to see what context you had in it I really wanna know I like everything you have and I want to kind of copy everything you have and we can also put the links provided with the items that would be appreciated. Thank you and God bless.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thx you what about the vertex pouch and Maxpedition pouch and the binoculars if you don’t mind and thank you so much. God bless you.
So you are using a Pedal Bike to E+E. Okay, not bad. But why not use a Pedal Trike like Schwin makes? Much more Load Carrying capacity and it doesn’t tip over when you need to stop? And you can take a small pet or a small child with you. You seem to be saying that that only Fit Single People can do a Bug Out. What do you plan to do with your Family? Leave them to fend for themselves? I’m confused.
Sure I spose a trike could Be an option but mobility is limited and I ride on a fair amount of single track. I can easily add a towable trailer if I planned on moving more weight. We’ll see how it goes 💪🏻
We all know the idea of bugging out is a fantasy. Whatever kit we've got, we're not going to leave the family behind but the idea of being a nomad keeps us entertained.
@@CazSmith Ideally you hunker down in place. That's my first move. Bugging out is not ideal but if you have to, def want a location to go to IE a dedicated BOL, family, etc. Somewhere safe and sustainable.
The only country where upright trikes have serious use in in the UK. They are a very niche thing but they are made to custom grade for road race, MTB and touring use. They are used by some disabled riders, and for fun. When static, trikes are more stable than bikes but on the move, the opposite and easier to tip. They have much more drag on rough surfaces esp where there are ruts in the trail. The luggage capacity of a touring bike is hugh enough and if you need more, you need a trailer. US style industrial grade trikes are made for carrying heavy people or small heavy packages, small distances at low speed around flat, paved areas.
What about ass-wipe? A don't-leave-home-without-it carry item. Usually wet wipes are the way to go, yes? I see you're a minimalist which makes sense especially as it applies to the art of going simple. I'm curious though, what kind of distance are you looking at? In your situation I'm sure it's at least two days of travel. Realistically, I wouldn't want to bike for more than 3 days covering 200 miles or so. Too much exposure to people and weather. But what you have is valid, especially after an EMP event. Another reason electric bikes may not be the best choice.
Best option is always to shelter in place. Sometimes however, you may have to evac...hopefully you have a BOL to evac to...if not you're just a refugee.
Hahaha good one. But seriously I’m goin dress for the climate and extended bike ride. So it’s my Jiu Jitsu rash guards, t shirt, converse style shoes, head wrap and shorts
Geart video however, how come.no one dose a video with their wife or hole family bigging out or is everyone leaving their wife or family behind just saying Thanks for the video.
that is a great question...most of us have families myself included. when I create these videos its based off of my actual plans for survival situation where my family is in a safe zone and I'm still in the sh1t
The Russians are using bikes in the Ukraine at night? Sure, bikes are useful and I have 3, full susp, hardtail and a road bike. In an SHTF scenario I can see how they would be useful, but not at night if you have enemy elements in your area which is the black and white scenario you painted. But you couldn’t even stay out long enough to do the video so best luck.
That is one of the weakest rear racks ever made. If you select a bicycle with standard rack threaded eyelets you can bolt a conventional rack directly to the frame. This is how cycle tourists have loaded their bikes for generations. The clamp-on cantilever rack places stress where it was never designed to go. If you load that without the stays, your rack will pivot around or the seatpost will snap. Wiyh the stays, you are clamping and putting a force at 90 degrees to the small frame tubes. They will eventually snap under heavy load. Any long distance, self reliant tourist will tell you that your luggage system is the key component. German made Tubus are the benchmark. Do not select a utility bike that lacks utility features.
thanks for those details. this rack is working for the weight it carries. as I mentioned if I needed to carry more, I'd simply attach the supports that clamp to the frame and keep it moving.

Reloading 410, 20 ga., 380, 9mm, 223. other hand tools, some masonry stuff, chisels, punches, pry bars, assortment of hammers, fence post setter, files, axe, hatchet, machete and so on.
Chemicals, TriChlor, various solvents, oils, fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, sulfuric acid, adhesives, caulk, patching cement, drywall compound
Household goods, year's supply of detergents and cleaning products, well stocked first aid, two tarps big enough to cover the roof, nails and lumber to hold it in place, tapes, rope, cord, nails, screws, light gauge wire, heavy gauge wire, air filters for furnace, batteries, light bulbs, blankets, comforters, pillows, two cots and a spare bed, zip ties, velcro, canning supplies, tire patch kits...
Reloading supplies, enough for a few years of 72 hours depending on the circumstances, all stored in fire resistant containers per SAAMI recomendations
People in town who know us, lawyer, police, doctor, dentist, electrician, carpenter, goat raiser, city hall, grocer, baker, horse raiser, boy scout leaders, the Mayor, a beginning blacksmith, a couple shade tree mechanics who have raced dirt tracks.
Shopping habits, bulk, some wholesale, some auction. We buy whole cuts of meat and cut them down, whole chickens, etc. I fillet every fish big enough to keep.
Background, me, chemical process engineer by trade, also have done some production labor, waste water treatment, cooking. Wife, EMT, hospice worker, restaurant manager, assistant head chef, baker, raised on a farm. She's helped butcher hogs as a kid.
The car I've driven for the past 20 years got 40 miles per gallon. At 140k miles I gave it to my daughter the homesteader in Maine. The Silverado is well maintained and has 35k miles. Wife's car is well maintained and has 70k miles.
I've had conversations with our Mayor about the state of civilization. He knows he has a militia of at least 200 well armed men and older teens with dozens of veterans aged 28-75. We probably have 1,500 to 2,500 guns in town and an estimated one to two million rounds of ammo.
We have pretty good kids in town. It has been years since a car was broken into and the tagger stopped tagging stuff after four months last year. Someone straightened the kid out. It is a quiet town where a 66 year old guy can walk town unmolested with his dog. People tend to watch out for each other here, mow a lawn, shovel some snow, bring a meal, lend a tool, that kind of stuff.
In a short crisis I'll be keeping refrigerators or furnaces running. If SHTF I'm in the rear lines, running food or ammo to the front line.
What an incredible well thought out comment 👍🏻💯🔥
I recommend you reinforce your tarp grommets with some gorilla tape and the seams. Dave Canterbury and Ranger Survival and Field Craft have videos on subject. Maybe a cart to carry additional supplies attached to bike. I found one that can carry 300 pounds of gear.
I have had grommets pop out on me before, not cool. Thanks for the tip!
Ive been contemplating incorporating a bike for some time and you have given me some food for thought. Thanks Blitz. Semper Fi/Semper Fortis T-man
Excellent, great to see ya...here's a tip that I forgot to mention...be sure to get a bike that is a size smaller than suggested for your height and inseam. You want lots of stand over room and ease of movement on and off the bike.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost thx for the tip Blitz
I live in a fairly large city. Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Most people really don't consider the reality of the SHTF situation while in the city. You are right. Behind enemy lines. The biggest and most dangerous situation is to get out. I'm an avid cyclist and my first line of transportation by choice is my Surely Ogre. Great video.
6:12..Agreed...$1500 cad for FLIR Scout TK Handheld Thermal Imaging Monocular
7:18...I have both...and prefer the silky saw , its teeth are more aggressive than laplander.
But the laplander is more cheaper than silky saw.
7:40...I never thought about the Thermal blocking option with that tarp...interesting.
8:53 .. Have no clue what that bugout bag brand is.?? Price ?? Dimensions etc ??
Went to the Website and only saw 3V backpacks .
Why is your video , dark and grainy looking ? Is this for subject effect ?
Wow that much for the TK? I paid $499 USD. Not sure what the conversion rate is…agreed about the saw and yes about the thermals I texted my Tk Scout with that Mylar tarp and it made me “invisible” 😎
😎👍

Railroad tracks will take you anywhere; and I've found unless being used, and there's cover, nobody pays much attention to them. Bike rocks ⚠️. Bravo Zulu here. Can't add much more.
Thanks and your absolutely right, RR tracks are a great asset. I believe there is an attachment available for the bike to enable one to ride on the actual track
I agree. I travel 200 miles a day 4 days a week. Not counting the rest of the week. And my plan definitely includes railroad tracks.
Hiding is the ultimate survival.
yes for sure
Great video presentation Thank You once again
Thanks Warlan!
A full real bug out simulation could be so interesting. Not that much content on youtube sadly, greetings from Québec Canada and keep up the good work my friend!
content is limited because it doesn't perform as well as other content. I still create anyways because I'm simply documenting my own evolution and training...something I would do whether I was on YT or not :) Glad you liked it! Videos like this take a TON of work
We need more bike/motorcycle bugout content, big 4x4 Jeep is great but also has a few disadvantages.
Yup this type of bug out vehicle strategy doesn’t seem to get much attention
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Cause it isn’t realistic. I mean. You can’t use it during the day, like you said. And you REALLY can’t use it at night since, you know. Mountain biking in the dark is impossible.
The only real scenario I can see for dirtbikes or MTB would be more
For a get home situation in / on your vehicle.
MTB and dirtbiking require skills and the average person won’t be able to quite them casually.
I’ve got thousands of miles mountain biking and have done and won (the old dude, slow class) quite a few dirtbike Enduros.
Your time is better spent doing cardio and weights.
@@marktechsci def have some good points here, but i have to disagree overall. w/ the lights on my bike I ride consistently on trails in the dark. nothing too technical or crazy speed but it works. i also have a deep background in MTB, building bikes, racing, etc. None really with dirt bikes, but that will change soon. So choose wisely...time of day and tracks. Now I've upgraded to an ebike that is a whole different ballgame lol
@ So you think it is unsafe to move during the day, but safe to ride at night with a light on?
I hate to say it, but you won’t last 2 minutes on your bike at night, behind enemy lines with your big ol’ LEDs. Let’s hope the enemy is this smart.
@@marktechsci i personally don't like blanket black and white statements b/c there are so many variables at play and many we cannot predict. so let me clarify. proper light discipline is key. blasting a massive led is probably not a good idea. I run low power led and have filters as well. movement during the day in open space is probably never a good idea. but under cover and concealment, think heavily wooded areas with big canopy is not a bad idea and we see this in use daily in Ukraine. overall the bike has been a huge asset in the history of warfare from WW1 to extensive use by the VC and now extensive use in Ukraine with e bikes.
What drew you to the Aitor knife? Curious as it’s limited in its applications as a lone tool for survival although that’s what it’s intended purpose is✌️
so that knife is very special to me. my grandfather purchased it wayyyyy back, many years ago and when he died, I got it. At first I had dismissed it as just a cheap "rambo" knife but then when I actually started using, I was shocked at how tough and useful it was.
Great video. Things for me to remember.
Thanks for the content, I found it very informative. My only concern is the drone, I am leery about a device that can fly away if something goes haywire with the software/ hardware.
As for cover how do you feel about the waxed canvas watch coat from reliance outfitters?
Bike with a trailer for the never come home winter survival inch bag incl tent and woodstove … 🔥🔥🔥✌️😁✌️🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀☘️☘️☘️
WOOO lets gooo!
It would be nice to have something to sleep on. Could pack a trash bag to fill up with leaves
If you check out the blog post you’ll get a full set of details on the gear. I carry two trash can liners which can be filled with pine needles. If I was goin to be in a colder environment I would pack a sleeping pad and bag on my bike rack
Another great video, thanks for keeping this a survivalist channel an not going political for the views
thanks for that! I will always stay focused on survival and and real world solutions vs delving into matters outside my control
I know a couple people that have had their EV bikes spontaneous combust and almost burned their houses down. Being by salt water would make it more dangerous. No thanks. I love that bike you use in here
I guess your bike catching on fire would suck…yeah I’ll stick with the manual transmission for now 😎
Love that Bike you have. Need to dust mine off and put it to use. Again, great vid and thanks for putting it out@@TheSurvivalOutpost
@@benfoot4212 glad you liked it, I love this ride and plan on rocking it for the foreseable future. Cheers!
Looking forward to see the BOB field tested. Cheers cobber.!
atb thanks!
Love your channel been here a long time!! I have one suggestion if you don't ditch the CNOC bag throw a smart water bottle in just for when "not if" the bag breaks!!✊️🔥✌️💚
Thanks great idea!
@TheSurvivalOutpost I've been really into ultralight through hikers load out videos they have such excellent ideas in simplicity and longterm use lots of hidden gems in the community!!
Can you make an updated vid on your bag I would love to know what you have I like how you have it I wanna get the things you have 😅
check this blog post: thesurvivaloutpost.com/a/blog/urban-survival-strategy
Nice work son
cheers
Also what do you have on those keys I wanna know
Can you please make an updated video on your backpack to see what context you had in it I really wanna know I like everything you have and I want to kind of copy everything you have and we can also put the links provided with the items that would be appreciated. Thank you and God bless.
Sure thing, check out this blog post on my entire full scale urban survival kit:

So you are using a Pedal Bike to E+E. Okay, not bad. But why not use a Pedal Trike like Schwin makes? Much more Load Carrying capacity and it doesn’t tip over when you need to stop? And you can take a small pet or a small child with you. You seem to be saying that that only Fit Single People can do a Bug Out. What do you plan to do with your Family? Leave them to fend for themselves? I’m confused.
Sure I spose a trike could Be an option but mobility is limited and I ride on a fair amount of single track. I can easily add a towable trailer if I planned on moving more weight. We’ll see how it goes 💪🏻
We all know the idea of bugging out is a fantasy. Whatever kit we've got, we're not going to leave the family behind but the idea of being a nomad keeps us entertained.
@@CazSmith Ideally you hunker down in place. That's my first move. Bugging out is not ideal but if you have to, def want a location to go to IE a dedicated BOL, family, etc. Somewhere safe and sustainable.
The only country where upright trikes have serious use in in the UK. They are a very niche thing but they are made to custom grade for road race, MTB and touring use. They are used by some disabled riders, and for fun.
When static, trikes are more stable than bikes but on the move, the opposite and easier to tip. They have much more drag on rough surfaces esp where there are ruts in the trail.
The luggage capacity of a touring bike is hugh enough and if you need more, you need a trailer.
US style industrial grade trikes are made for carrying heavy people or small heavy packages, small distances at low speed around flat, paved areas.
"Stashing"😊
😂 chuckle when I saw sand and pomfrons.
What about ass-wipe? A don't-leave-home-without-it carry item. Usually wet wipes are the way to go, yes? I see you're a minimalist which makes sense especially as it applies to the art of going simple. I'm curious though, what kind of distance are you looking at? In your situation I'm sure it's at least two days of travel. Realistically, I wouldn't want to bike for more than 3 days covering 200 miles or so. Too much exposure to people and weather. But what you have is valid, especially after an EMP event. Another reason electric bikes may not be the best choice.
Its about a two day ride. 40+ miles. appreciate your take
Hi I try to buy montain house food, I need ur code?
⭐⭐⭐⭐
4 + weeks? Where r u?
The bicycle is a VERY under talked about vehicle for survival.
Bug out??? Sounds like renters logic. Castle doctrine says you kill any trespassers or invaders.
Not going to live like a hobo, or a street walker.
Best option is always to shelter in place. Sometimes however, you may have to evac...hopefully you have a BOL to evac to...if not you're just a refugee.
Folks don't believe this can come true.
we see it happen every day
your bug out "attire" looks like you are heading to an 80's arobics class
Hahaha good one. But seriously I’m goin dress for the climate and extended bike ride. So it’s my Jiu Jitsu rash guards, t shirt, converse style shoes, head wrap and shorts
LATINOS PARA TRUMP...🎉🎉🎉

👋
Geart video however, how come.no one dose a video with their wife or hole family bigging out or is everyone leaving their wife or family behind just saying Thanks for the video.
that is a great question...most of us have families myself included. when I create these videos its based off of my actual plans for survival situation where my family is in a safe zone and I'm still in the sh1t
He get the bycycle and people come out of the woods and you're dead
He conceals carries I believe. Some Glock version or whatever. Anyone trying to jump him will end up dead.
Sure maybe I get snipered but I always have protection on hand. I just don't advertise it.
@CazSmith did u not see the 2A tool in the pack. And I'd bet he'd be wearing one as well.
The Russians are using bikes in the Ukraine at night?
Sure, bikes are useful and I have 3, full susp, hardtail and a road bike. In an SHTF scenario I can see how they would be useful, but not at night if you have enemy elements in your area which is the black and white scenario you painted. But you couldn’t even stay out long enough to do the video so best luck.
@@marktechsci right on bro appreciate your opinion
That is one of the weakest rear racks ever made. If you select a bicycle with standard rack threaded eyelets you can bolt a conventional rack directly to the frame. This is how cycle tourists have loaded their bikes for generations.
The clamp-on cantilever rack places stress where it was never designed to go. If you load that without the stays, your rack will pivot around or the seatpost will snap. Wiyh the stays, you are clamping and putting a force at 90 degrees to the small frame tubes. They will eventually snap under heavy load.
Any long distance, self reliant tourist will tell you that your luggage system is the key component. German made Tubus are the benchmark.
Do not select a utility bike that lacks utility features.
thanks for those details. this rack is working for the weight it carries. as I mentioned if I needed to carry more, I'd simply attach the supports that clamp to the frame and keep it moving.
