urban survival gear

[1969jmac]

NICE vid man. Glad to see someone breakingout of the normal survival videos and posting a urban survival vid. Good ideas you have there I do have one question though. That air compressor. Is it battery run or do you have to charge it?

[kirbdog206]

it's nice to be prepaired

[1s1t1e1v1e1]

Don't forget a pair of vice grips, duct tape, screwdriver set and a pair of pliers!!!

[mailmanx141]

good video. DON'T post any video of stuff in your truck that is essential, but the cops can use against you. remember, cops work for the state, and the state is in search of bodies. at least here in new mexico, they AREN'T here to protect you. good video though.

[airsoftsurvivalman12]

I like your video... If you have the time could you make a video going over your entire vehicle with all its contents? Nice video though!

[chitown1966]

good job

[srtliam]

hmm... you can't have a tow rope that's too strong, but you can have one that's too weak.

[SlapRackBang]

You should toss a couple of candy bars in there, and a bunch of candles in case you get stranded overnight.. you know a little heat and something to munch on. Good Job.

[skew06]

if you put hot pockets in your boots, you need to have quite a few on you so you can change them out before your feet freeze. Your foots gonna sweat inside the boot and if you run out, of heat then they are going to be prone to frostbite so much easier when that sweat freezes.

redneck survival

[timolgreek]

this is not survival kit....

[Jarno1510]

@timolgreek

I agree this is a "what if my car breaks down in the middle of nowhere kit" urban survival is something totally different. I'm calling misleading title. Verrry good and informative video though.

I use these tools and skills for homeless survival +1

[AnthonyUseryJr]

nice

[rock50003]

nice bug out bag

[Verradonairun]

My urban survival kit consists of the following:

1) cellphone

2) Credit Card

[gravedigger277]

@Verradonairun then you may just end up dead

[Verradonairun]

@gravedigger277 haha,

[fauxanarchist]

@Verradonairun Exactly the two things that won't be of much use when the SHTF and chaos ensues!! phone lines will crash with 911 calls and ATMs will be useless with no one running them...unless the banks somehow manage to be operating during a pandemic, catastrophe, or WWlll.

[Verradonairun]

@fauxanarchist it was actually meant as a joke ;-)

[fauxanarchist]

@Verradonairun Unfortunately ur joke is too common train of thought for the masses. Society, as a whole, has become too dependent on Big Bro hand outs. Little do they realize when it all crashes, when the SHTF, the politicians and their minions will go underground and NOT be looking to see who's in need more...

Phones and credit cards are something most of us have, but don't consider when creature comforts disappear, those two items will go first!!

[Verradonairun]

@fauxanarchist dude, I think you are being a little bit too paranoid.

[fauxanarchist]

@Verradonairun Paranoid about what? You living with ur head in the sand or up ur ass -where ever it is - doesn't make others (who no longer trust their Govt to help them when the chips are down) paranoid! I've been around, heard stories, seen how vets are treated once their off the front lines...and I look out for myself. Paranoid is dillusional, prepared is realistic!! Good riddance to ignorance!!

[nesbitt615]

you should include a set of vulcanized tire plugs with the tools otherwise the air compressor is used only to fill a tire with slow leaks, and fix a flat really doesn't work. Good post keep em thinking

[madeathome09]

where would you put a spare tire, the middle?

[cordellrich]

I dont have to bibs but in addition to what youve show i always keep this in the truck. Blanket, Hat, Gloves, Water, 2 MREs.

[jaigooroo]

Cool and what do you think is going to happen to all the fuel to run that truck. gonna be dry my friend

[KMK39]

what is in your bag?

[Barroomhero86]

Thank you so much! I have been arguing this point for years.... I have been all over the USA and even in Alaska, there is always a city where it would be easier to survive than by yourself in the wild!!! check out my bob.

[Texasoutback]

what kind of pack was that

[ewokarmyof1]

@Texasoutback the pack is a scout #2...

[Texasoutback]

a scout #2, is it military surplus or some other brand.

[k1111117]

its more like suburban survival. Thanks for posting.

[ascorpio09]

great vid!!!!! thanks for sharing!!!

[MrPVaSoldier]

I've broken so many of those walmart towropes. I went and invested in a warn tow rope years ago, and still hasn't let me down

[MrPVaSoldier]

I've broke so many of those walmart tow ropes, I think those things are junk. I went out and invested in a warn tow rope years ago and it still hasn't let me down.

[tjy3388]

what year blazer is this

[ewokarmyof1]

@tjy3388 it is a '91 blazer,with a brush guard and a safari rack on the top.

[Epsciss]

I found this video very informative and helpful. So thank-you. Please do post more videos, they're very entertaining and fun to watch.

Happy Hunting

-Dalton

[dithbmine1]

are you a tow truck driver?

[liabatud67]

Good stuff all.

[RuttinDAsouth]

keep some kind of compact tool set might have to borrow some parts from time to time lol

[liabatud67]

@RuttinDAsouth Yeah, an "El Cheapo" or throw a way set and definately I always like to carry a "cross bar" for changing tires. It's the fastest thing for lug nuts out there that is not powered.

[cadetdaddy]

You should add an extra serpentine belt. Jumper cables won't matter if your alternator isn't spinning. Also, extra ATF (tranny and power steering),and a smallish tarp to keep off the ground if you gotta crawl underneath.

What about a 2 ton hydraulic bottle jack guys?

[ewokarmyof1]

@cadetdaddy the blazer still had all it's own tire changing kit from the factory is why it wasn't mentioned.but good call,I also recommend practing changing a tire in a controlled environment so when the real deal happens its no problem to change even in the dark.

[GhostInTheShell09]

nice video. i gotta pack just like that one. its perfect for a small BOB or evry day carry to hav in the vehicle

[willystyle451]

Good info. Important stuff to have in your car. Thanks!

[martykean1967]

I live in the country where there's nothing but cows and cornfields for 50 miles in every direction! You definately want things like that in your vehicle especially in the Winter time in case you ever have engine problems. I had a problem 2 Winters ago and was stranded for 5 hours before my wife came looking for me. Always inform your family of the route your taking!!! She knew my route and was able to find me. Cell phones don't always work in rural areas, so you need to be self-reliant.

[sayanlevel5]

good to be prepared,any one remember the story of the ant and the grasshoper?

[sweetypie000]

americans are so soft

all i take is an old black rubbish sack and a bar of lard

[mtb416]

@sweetypie000 sweetypie?

[lvpeckerwood]

got tools? Very important,tire plugs/patches.a gas can?Thanks for the info.If you can afford one a water purifier is nice to have

[rambel]

Good video! Not everyone thinks this way.

[zerk54]

Make sure you change out your drinking water every now and again.

[grecoguy75]

cool video. thanks!

[b2flyer1]

Very Good Info.Good information,most people never think about

[stymye]

my vehicles stay in top shape so I don't carry cables, coolant ect , however I would recomend a spare belt,It's risky jumping off newer vehicles anymore ,It usually ends up damaging something electronic in the process.

[greenteen85]

u might find mainenance of increasing difficultly in the advent of apocalypse, d00d

[newkie2008]

very nice vid

can you do a video about personal use gear,

natural dissasters can happen any time just like riots so i have to be prepared.

greetings from Peru

[wilatemodel]

peru eh?........sounds like a good place 2 escape the "nwo".....

[jptravers]

Nice vid, I like your style. Your kit seems designed for minor car malfunctions, nothing more -- and that's fine. I'd only suggest a bit more water (for starters)... a liter doesn't last long bro, it doesn't last long at all. A gallon/per day minimum is the rule of thumb, and even that I think is a low estimate. For myself it's more like 6 liters/day if I'm active. Also would like to see more of your BOB. Nice vid!

[ewokarmyof1]

this is just the gear I take on a daily bases,back and forth to work(just in case)

[tinsnanna]

more videos pls

[60odeeman]

Very good video! Direct and right to the point.

You might want to include an example of what type of food for your your bug out bag.

Keep up the good work!
