i have used a candle lantern like that to out of picknick swamp south of plant city Fla. one night you earned my subscibing by testing the silver blanket lol without the jacket you would have frozen solid lol
Nice analogy about human nature. Insightful and true. Great review on the gear pod as well. I came across these after looking for reviews of the Gerber/Bear Grylls "Ultimate Kit." I think I would put my money on this instead.
As To Bein afraid of the dark out in the wild... I Spend 5 months in colorado doing that... being Completely alone... What i had to Worry about was, black bear, coyotes, elk, deer and mt. lions.... I was Still Fine and Completely at piece i cant wate Till i Go back! :D
great job john..i was wondering..couls the "tubes" of the pod be used to carry water..as in you get in the situation..you pull out the gear pods from the tubes and place them in your pockets..could you then use the empty tubes as a water transport device..the handy carrier would seem to be a good way to carry quite a lot of water...safe journeys
Good review. Nothing like going out and practicing. Though.. I think the Gear pod is pricey and is something I could build (better even) for a fraction of the cost.. Thanks for another good vid.

not too sure the Hollywood image has a huge effect on majority of people. but your right to touch on our senses. at night. wilderness. you have increased hearing 10 fold. you can hear everything. but our eyesight is hindered as much as our hearing increases. combined with campfire. you cant see beyond 15 feet. but everything else can see you perfect. that creates the unknown you speak of and people are afraid of the unknown if by chance it could hold something unfortunate....like a bear.
hey man great job!!what time of the year was this?24 degrees? im from michigan i can relate!! fan of your vids,great job,keep the vids coming if you can!!!
I actually have several M65s and a liner. Sometimes I wear the liner under other jackets. I thought that you found one designed for the jacket you were wearing but now understand you retrofitted the existing liner to that application. I am going to go take a look at it and ty for that tip!
Nice review. Only you with the boogyman out there in the dark.Did you know that before the boogyman goes to bed he checks under it for Chuck Norris. Thanks.

when it comes to putting the ash on your cut finger, would it make a difference as to what sort of wood you were using?
primwalk 1 year ago
@primwalk I normally use the common woods for campfires, Meaning woods you would cook with that are non toxic.

I used an M65 field jacket liner. I sewed buttons to the inside so I could remove the liner if I needed to.
