In the thousands of survival/prepping videos I've watched over the past decade, I have never seen anyone actually do a trek home, especially 40 miles! Everyone talks about BoB's and get home bags, etc, but no one ever actually goes out there and gets home. Well done!

Wow!! Bad ankle and still rucking 40 miles!! Good job man. Great practice

Greetings from Rio Rancho, New Mexico, United States, not quite the end of the world, but we can see it from here. Good on you! Testing the hypothesis. Plenty of 60lb bags that the carrier wouldn't make it 10 miles on KZfaq. Way to put your money where your mouth is. I salute you.

Anymore during power outages convenience store's, gas stations, etc. Automatically lock down as their registers and debit machine's won't function with no electricity. Might be a good idea to carry the map and a bottle of water with you in your day pack.

10 out of 10 for putting your money where your mouth is so to speak. I've done this a couple of times. One improvement I'd suggest is get some of the Philips or AtoZ smaller map books. Haven't been able to find them new recently but you can still get them second hand. You might have to get the odd page printed out online for areas that have changed A lot recently but it's worth it. They have most of the footpaths marked on them. You might be able to cut miles off your journey and dirt/grass paths are easier on the knees and ankles than concrete after a time, not to mention grid down you might have to avoid road blocks and the like.

Good to see you in Hereford. Your in my home city there. You went from one side above the Wye to the North side and along the Roman road straight passed the regiment. My father was in the regiment for 22 years. I don't blame you for not filming. Good going on the hard surfaces. It takes its toll. Well, looks like you're going to hit your target. Well done. Mark

Great upload mate I think this is the first UK upload of such a scenario simulation, there are a few from the USA including even one where the guy survives on just what he has in his pockets, he's based it on him having been dragged out of his truck on the road and left with just the clothes on his back (that's Survival Dispatch btw). Anyway less than 10 minutes in I have subscribed to your channel already! I want to see your other content too. I had been carrying a smaller 24 hr get home bag including poncho, survival bag (to use as groundsheet), mylar bivvy bag with hand warmers, canteen cup, fire dragon gel & twig burner, water filter, food and other bits and bobs but stopped taking it to work every day about a year ago. However I think I need to overhaul it and start carrying it again. It's about half the size of your get home/bug out bag, it's a rocket pocket from a Dutch Army bergen (Lowe Alpine Sting I think).

Yes, Get Home Bag should have some small bills of cash. Always needed. Well done on your walk, have watched both now, I'm impressed you walked and talked you way home!

Great viewing My friend,nice to see you out practicing the things.

Good job leigh, only way to know if your kit is up to it is get outdoors and use it..atb mitch..

A serious and great real world video packed with info! Thank you for all the mental stimulation.... much thought is needed to survive!

Nice one, practicing what you preach.

Awesome 👌

Cheers Drive! brilliant

Great video , makes me want to try the same thing myself .

Highway Code says you walk into the on coming traffic. So on the right

If I'm in Pennsylvania and I live in Arkansas... I'm thinking I might be better off to stay put... Until a better plan can be developed.

Good practice!

Interesting scenario, well done!

great vid really liked it .

Absolutely love this brilliant video

Nice one butt!'now subscribed I have watched Darren for years and think you guys will do well together. Cheers🤠🇦🇺

Good to see Hereford! Wish they'd build that bloody bypass though!!!

Well done Leigh

Great work mate

Good video really enjoyed this seeing how its done

New sub from USA. Great content.

I hate that a bicycle in any situation like this would cut your travel time by HOURS in almost every single case.

First thing I would do is Nick a push bike if I see one

I wouldn't be able to do 40-mile walk in my shaoe even though i have heatlhy feet. Awesome feat 🎉

My advice from someone who works on the rail is stay off it. It’s very difficult to walk on ballast, you will be better on tarmac

Electric folding back might help

Watching while sharpening my chainsaw.

Have a plan ???? Try it out,, and keep trying it out.

Good video - what’s the thoughts on acquiring a bicycle in the scenario? Could easily half the travel time

Name of get home bag? I like the green color

bro already lopping

Just curious if you would feel safer carrying a walking stick or trekking pole or something to use as an improvised defensive weapon in an actual situation…

Give up my bag? 😂 I don't think so.

Hard to hear you

What country is this?

My first time camping at the bugout will a few neighbours and mates all sat around the fire and i jumped on a branch of deadfall and snapped my ankle.... Leigh still had his medical ankle boot which he kindly fetched and let me take it home... Talk about waking a mile in another man's shoes 😆 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sJN-mqeTsJ-yZps.html
