    Cool videos Mr. Glover. Colorado is brutal sometimes. Almost froze to death in a blizzard up here once. My truck unexpectedly died on me on my way home from work as the worst weather of the year rolled in. It was 40 below with the wind chill factor and my feet were soaked because my work boots had holes in them. Walkiing anywhere for help was out of the question; it was too far given my lack of protection from that bastard cold wind blowing sheets of snow sideways across the darkening ground. Battery on the truck died out as I peeled off worthless boots and soaked socks that were turning my feet into ice cubes. I cut off my jeans halfway down from the knees because they were soaked from snow & had frozen solid. I tucked my now exposed feet & lower legs underneath me Indian style, then I grabbed my Jack Russell terrier and I stuffed him up under my thinly insulated Carhart jacket like a little furry space heater and there we sat like patiently shivering Bhuddas for 12 miserable hours. My feet hurt as they numbed but I knew that as long as I still felt them, I was ok. By 4 or 5 am I couldn't feel them at all. I dozed off around this point & woke up to a fully risen sun and a gray Dodge dually approaching from from higher up the mountain road, a neighbor breaking the trail on his way to work. He had to help me out of the truck & into the dodge since I couldn't feel my feet anymore. Nurses at the rural clinic got my core temp back up slowly and my feet felt strange, exactly how you would imagine they'd feel if frostbite had given them a nibble but had then been warded off. I am no longer a fucking moron and I appreciate you sharing knowledge towards that end. Happy new year, I'll share your content gladly, liked subbed all that peace

      I keep at least one sleeping bag and two wool blankets in my vehicle at all times. Also a change of clothes and Socks- I keep that stuff in a plastic storage box. It varies with the season. I once got stuck on I-80 in a blizzard in Northern NV. I climbed in the back seat, got into some long underwear and dry wool sock. And into the bag. Not a problem. I know the others at that rest area were having problems running out of gas and whatnot keeping warm, I was drinking hot cocoa. I never leave home without a Jet boil. Also a couple of books to read makes the time pass.

    Pretty sweet truck. Living here in Alaska the soft toppers just cave in after a 2' snow storm. I just rigged up some pulleys in my garage that lift my hard topper off pretty darn quick. After having my window smashed in at a trail head by some tweakers (they only stole my wife's backpack thankfully). I applied 3M security film to the inside of the windows. It's not going to stop them but it's pretty durable and will certainly slow someone down and protect from bricks, rocks, pipes, etc... I will say that if I'm driving from Anchorage to Fairbanks (350 miles) or some other trip longer than 100 miles or go off-roading I throw my fatbike in the back. The ability to ride if I get stuck or have a mechanical is huge. If the boogaloo actually goes down I bet the roads will become packed with abandoned cars, trucks, and RV's and a bicycle will be a quiet and efficient way to cover ground. I actually mounted a Kolpin gun case to my fatbike and pulled a little trailer on a successful backcountry caribou hunt. It was surprising how practical it was and I was able to carry 1/2 of a boned out bou out 12 miles. Cheers and keep up the great content.

      You are right about carrying a bike. In most disaster situations the roads get completely jammed up with people fleeing and having a bicycle can move you much faster. Its also mechanically simple and lightweight, and a mountain bike can go many places other vehicles cant. If you outfit your mountain bike with a "bike packing" setup you can be self sufficient for days, yet still move relatively quickly. Also very easy to stash the bike and move your gear to a backpack should you need to. I always have a bike in the back of my car for this reason, or lets say should my car break down or run out of gas, you always have an option that is much better than walking.

    • @devoidbmx1
      @devoidbmx1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you want to see examples of vehicles getting totally jammed in disasters look at videos of the Paradise ("Camp") fire in California, or the fire in Fort McMurray, Alberta. Many people ran out of gas just sitting in the traffic jams. With a bicycle you'd have been out of town in 20 minutes instead of the 5 hours it took many motorists.

      The Glenn Highway really backs up, especially going to work or after work.
      Especially for those who live Eagle River, Palmer, and Wasilla. But work at Fort Richardson, Elmendorf AFB or Anchorage.
      Throw in some snow and traffic slows down or backs up even more.
      Often just going from Elmendorf to Eagle River )about 15 miles north) can take from an hour or longer.

      I'd stay away from the electronically controlled stuff. Get an 80s early 90s mechanically injected 6bt. Those things will run on diesel, veggie oil, or used motor oil as long as the viscosity is thin enough. Good luck getting a commonrail to do that. As long as you have 12v to the injection pump and fuel to burn it'll run.

      yup, that truck has a 36-gallon tank and a 75gal aux. He only needs to hit 18mpg to get 2k out of that setup. Very doable, my 08 6.7 tuned is getting me 20-24 average on the highway if I keep the keep down. However that's average, all the times you're below average, flooring it to ram a fence, climbing hills, offroad, accelerating from stop will chew into that total range fast. So it depends on where you are going. Based on my truck (not counting towing) 111gallson would net me around 1500-1600miles, tops and I have smaller tires :)

      The winch is a good idea. They are very versatile, (and pretty reasonable in costs these days). We've always had them on our trucks. My brother was coming back from Spring Break in the 70's and came up on stopped traffic for a wreck on the interstate. A state trooper saw he had a winch on his Bronco, and had him follow him up the wreck, where they used the winch cable to pull off the door of the wrecked car and rescue the driver and passenger (one of whom was already DOA).

    Hi Mike, I appreciate the ideas and information you provide in your videos and channel. I have always been someone who has a mindset of preparedness and prudence. Coronavirus has made me realize that I can do better in terms of preparedness, especially mobility. I've been on a recent binge of your channel, and I'm willing to admit that I'm a novice, and it's easy for one to get flooded in information overload and choices for overlanding rig setups. While I do find this video informative, it doesn't quite give me a hierarchy of essential modifications in order of importance or a cost breakdown for how much one can expect to invest in the proper equipment. I wouldn't mind investing in preparedness because I know I would derive some satisfaction and sense of security from being prepared, but I also know I could use such equipment to go camping, hiking, traveling, or other hobbies that I enjoy anyway. I understand that every vehicle is different, each person has different needs or uses, and budget can vary, but could you create a resource that provides a list of mods in order of priority with a cost breakdown and different options at various price levels? If someone has $1000, where on one's vehicle or on which mods would you recommend that person invest that $1000? What about $5000? What about $10,000? And how much did it cost you to create that rig, if you don't mind sharing? Also, how do you afford to pimp out 4 + overlanding rigs? In terms of equipment, how should one balance investing between defensive/safety equipment and mobility equipment and gear? Can you expand on these topics in your videos or site and create a resource for this information that easily digestible and almost a step-by-step process? I would rather not spend what little discretionary income I have on unnecessary mods when others are more vital. Since the purpose of Fieldcraft Survival is to provide these kinds of resources and information, I think you could make this information stupid simple and organized for novices like me. Sometimes I wonder if you're trying to juggle too many aspects of preparedness at once: defense, skills, mindset, mobility, fitness, load out, gear, equipment, etc. Sometimes I wonder if you're just flossing on us instead of informing us on the available options, key decisions you've made, and the reasons why you made them. We, responsible citizens, need this kind of information in these current times more than ever. You not only have the knowledge and experience to share, but you have a platform on which to share it. That you do this because you feel a civic duty or responsibility is noble, and I appreciate all of your diligence. Thank you for your service, and thank you for your content.

One thing I did not see you mention is an extra pair of light weight hiking boots for summer and a pair of heavy duty hiking boots in colder weather. Extra socks also which might be in your bugout bag but we did not see the contents of, in this video. You gave me some things to add to my vehicle for day to day travel as well as longer trips. With times as they are, and seem to be headed, I do appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with us.

    Adding propane as a duel fuel would also be a good idea. You can refuel with no electricity or hook up grill sized tanks directly. I think there will be plenty available propane to extend rage during grid down.

    Solid rig. I like it. You pretty much paralleled my setup but I do not have an extended fuel tank. 2000 miles! I’d call that a game changer. A straight line rarely ever happens in disasters. Going around/through/backtracking are the norm. It all eats gas. So, props to ya. I’m rethinking my gas cans ( which I will still keep several for scavenging/barter/gen purpose). Im enjoying your videos. Gotta day, the High Carry vs Sul has me thinking. Between my decades of military service (MWD), LEO/SWAT, & so on, if I’m around even one partner, I’ve got to go Sul coz IF anything happens taking a bullet to the ankle is better than the ear. Keep up the good work. 🇺🇸

I have one on my pickup as well, I run a cobra 29 peeked and toned with 18ft coax cable with a short frances antenna with a ground wire. With that setup you have perfect swr reading. I was in the Appalachian mountains and i was talking to a guy in Florida. Just a thought, cb is a great way to get help or help someone else in the mountains, because of bad cell service. Food for thought. Great truck
