He was able to keep the truck running and and melt snow for water and the mre i put in there. In georgis you wouldnt think to varry alot of these items just in case.

      @@devonwatt2194 You fail to understand the concept of an Emergency kit. This isn't about luxury, this is about necessity. It should be different for every person and every situation. When I was an EMT working in the city, my emergency kit was pretty basic. Why? Because I was commuting to work and was in an urban area. At most, I might need to spend a few hours in my car so I didn't need a lot. When I go hunting or I take the quads in the woods, I pack a much different kit. I pack one that is similar to what Luke has. I carry extra gas, food, a small tent, first aid, clothes, an axe, a battery powered chainsaw, a basic tool kit, some rope, fire starters, etc. Why? Because I could be 40 or more miles into the mountains. Help isn't coming to me for days, even if I manage to contact them it will still be hours. I don't think Luke expects people to copy him because you should be thinking about your own situation. When I go hunting, almost every hunter I run into has set ups similar to Luke's. It isn't that uncommon if you're someone who is going to go into the mountains. And let me tell you, I've responded on calls in the mountains before and it doesn't usually end well for the patient. I don't usually see the prepared people in the back of my ambulance and I''ve never loaded a prepared person into a body bag before. You laugh at Luke all you want and claim hes living in luxury or his kit is not practical, but he is being very smart and practical with his choices.

      I live in a small town, but just 20 kilometers away there's a big forest area (national park, actually) where people have gotten lost and stuck when trees blocked access roads. If that's a risk you run because you go there often or you live in a hamlet somewhere in the forest, a chainsaw would be a wise piece of kit indeed.
      Since I need to make trips up the hills in winter, even I carry snow chains in the trunk. Never needed them so far, but you just never know.
      I'm from Germany btw, so no handgun, otherwise I'd keep one on me for wild animals.

  • @tc1uscg65

    The emergency bags I keep in my 3 cars are seasonal and packed for different use. The minivan, no longer used for long trips just has a "get me home" bag. 2 days of water (minimum), some high calorie snacks, water PURIFIER/container, first aid, lighting, fire starter, etc. But my Jeep and travel midsized SUV have more of a 2+ days camping trip arrangement. Every Early Nov to late March, I swap out the winter packs with summer packs that is mostly the food items geared towards the warmer climate and sleep systems, which allows for more food/water. Watching your videos (and others, I can't lie), has helped me see how things WORK for other people and let me adjust accordingly, without "testing" it out. ;-)

    I live in the UK so don't face nearly the same conditions, however I do keep a number of things in my vehicle, besides the manufacturer supplied.
    Tow Rope, jump leads, warning lights, tire pressure gauge, air compressor, tool kit, basic first aid kit, hi-vis clothing, hammer (it's come in use a few times, especially on wheel nuts).
    I drive for a living right now and have a kit bag I take to work and keep in my car when not at work which has:
    2X Power banks, 12v to usb adapter (plus just about all cables you could need for any device twice), two high powered torches, a head torch, two aldi strap on mini lights (red and white), first aid kit, long life snacks, 1 MRE, snow shovel (our vans carry salt grit in winter), hi-vis clothing, wet weather clothing, leatherman, tea/ coffee making supplies and about £20 in various coins in case I need them.
    It's come in a lot of use, we rely on PDA's that eat batteries for breakfast so the charging and power banks are a must.

    Excellent topic and information! :D And very timely.. with too many recent stories of people stuck for hours or longer, because of everything from road closures/big rig crashes on freeways and highways, to individual vehicle issues as you stated. I got a few more ideas from this video, to further enhance my own gear in addition to all the "stuff" I routinely carry. One thing I carry that most people probably don't, is a set of over-shoe non-skid devices similar to "Yak Traks" in case of freezing rain/ice and needing to get out of my vehicles for any reason. If I'm injured from a slip/fall I can't self-rescue or help anyone else! :D

    Love the video!! However you forgot a pen and paper to leave a note. If you have to leave your vehicle due to a break down in an emergency situation as shown, lift your hood, as it is the universal sign of distress, and leave a note on the dash marking your name and the time of your departure from the vehicle and the direction of intended travel. That way anyone who happens upon your vehicle is immediately brought up to speed of the situation and can catch up with you or call the proper authorities for help. Keep up the great work!

I live in California and the first video I watched was the one you explain about the layers of clothes and the material of the clothes we should wear while hiking or camping in winter. I went camping at Big bear with my boys and we had a great experience. Thank you so much for you honest reviews and transparency. Great work man!

    This is a TIMELY topic, well done!. I carried a Mr Buddy Heater with just the small 1# propane cylinders & found just the pilot light is sufficient HEAT overnight while sleeping. In my car, I carry 100 hour liquid candles that come with a transparent plastic windscreen that fits on top & prevents the flame from being blown out; this provides sufficient HEAT overnight to keep the interior survivable in cold temperatures. Mainstay Emergency Rations is my go-to emergency food supply. 400 calories per square for 3 times a day/night for a maximum of 3 days/nights. No cooking required. This is the same Emergency Rations found in lifeboats. No cooking, No water required & the rations have a 7-year shelf life.
    Yes, both vehicles have an el-cheapo portapotty & an adequate emergency supply of water, clothing & equipment.
    Well Done when rescuing the lost/stranded young couple. Hopefully, they've learned their lessons about preparedness.

    I live in a town in the UK. While I don't travel much more than 30 miles from home, there are plenty of places that one can get stuck and a breakdown has previously meant a 3 hour wait. The back of my car always has dehydrated meals, cooker, water, sleep system and tent. Plus I always have my day bag - too much to list here but I am confident of managing for a couple of days or more if I had to. Some of my friends think I'm bonkers but then I'm usually the one they turn to when they need what you call a band aid or water top up, food or pain relief, power bank etc. Top video, you have given me more ideas, thank you.

    Couple things I keep in my truck would be road flares: good for starting fires, signaling for emergencies, and melting snow if truck is stuck. Next I have a large medical kit that I'm trained with and understand, and lastly personal preference a 2 ton hydraulic trolley jack incase of a flat tire. Love your videos and I always look forward to them!

  • @futuresonex
    @futuresonex 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good kit! A couple of things that I have always kept in my truck in addition to the stuff you mentioned are some insulated coveralls and a pair of winter boots. The coveralls protect your clothing if you have to do something like dig out the truck, change a tire, or repair/try to repair something on the truck that's broken. Believe me, you'll be glad to have them, and the boots are just as important if not more so. I'm typically not wearing heavily insulated & waterproof boots in my day-to-day life. In my case, I'm usually wearing either cowboy boots or hiking boots, neither of which are a good choice for walking in deep snow. A good pair of winter boots, Sorels in my case, could literally be a lifesaver! A wool blanket, a rain poncho (I have the Pathfinder 7'x7' Poncho/Tarp), a UCO Candle Lantern w/extra candles, a Grabber Outdoors Emergency Space Blanket/Tarp (not the lightweight mylar version), and a small foam pad to sit on also make great additions.
    If you try to walk out and find yourself in a situation where you need to warm up fast but can't in out of the weather that foam pad, candle lantern, and poncho/wool blanket can really save the day. Get out of the wind as best you can. Then sit on the pad to insulate your butt from the ground, stretch the poncho/tarp and/or the wool blanket over you like a small tent, and then light the candle lantern and put it on the ground between your legs. The first time you do it you'll be amazed at how warm you can get under that little 'tent'. It can be in the 20's outside but in the 50's or 60's under that poncho/tarp/blanket! This is something you can do in literally just a couple of minutes, and it can save your life.

    I live in a small camping trailer in the Tonto forest in Arizona and Mr. Heater is my buddy in the winter. When I get up at 4 in the morning you can see your breath. I start the heater off on the high setting for about 10 minutes, then switch it over to low and wait for the trailer to heat up to about 70 degrees. Mr. Heater is run from the small green propane camping bottles that I refill from a larger cylinder. I never feel compelled to open a window for ventilation. Three cheers for Mr. Heater.

I just looked at their "Grammy's Sweet Oatmeal and although I haven't tried it yet, the total carbs is 38g, sugars are 15g. so not too bad. Designed to keep you alive I guess. Beautiful snow, thanks for going over all your gear, it is appreciated. About to head out for some truck tent camping and I have all I need but will add a few small items you've reminded me of.

    Great video, but the large assortments of ‘survival gear’ is unrealistic in an average vehicle.
    Luke here is a challenge we all should try to prep for a situation like this; Just purchase an amazon emergency kit and do not open it until you need it. That would be the average prepared person’s plan.
