Southeastern US is practically a jungle. Glad someone’s talking about operating in this harsh environment.

Glad you guys are growing. Something nice that happened to me this week: my daughter slept in her crib on her own, and through the night. Major win

Becoming deadly in the southeast series should be BIG! Appalachia boy here we’ve got mountains and jungles. Nice to see this being done.

Many Southern boys and girls grew up in these deep woods. IMO it’s one of the best places to be with the tree cover and vegetation.

Me and my wife are looking to buy our first house. I walked into work yesterday and randomly got a pay raise. My boss is hard to work for and sometimes I wonder if it’ll ever pay off. He said “I need someone dependable and I can count on you”. So yes, hard work pays off.

Great video. One essential thing i added to my kit after moving to the south east from out west were bug nets. One for just my head and a full body one. Bonus tip from the local milsurp guy: Wear pet flea and tick collars around ankles to keep the chiggers and ticks off you.

Add a small hammock if you don't like taking naps in puddles.

Finally we got some southeast boys in this realm of KZfaq. Excited to see where this channel goes!

Mosquito head net (very small and light), Hammock sleep system to stay off the ground for bugs and damp ground, more med. South Florida here, and a good fixed blade. Great Vid..

Us older guys have been running these web gear set ups since the 70s. Now days it's called war belt battle belt combat belt. It's all just called web gear to us. Same gear new names.

I finally decided to go see a mental health professional

I hiked throughout Sabal Palms, Everglades, and Big Cypress for over 3 or so years before moving up to NC. Belt kit reigns supreme in the bush. Good job brother.

Where I learned to track and hint was in the swamps of South Georgia. This video was super on point. Found out I do not have cancer this week, just a benign polyp. Getting it yoinked out tomorrow then I go for a job interview on Thursday. Also, suuuuuubscribed.

I live in Central North Carolina 100 degrees with 100% humidity glad to see somebody doing something about the southeast our kits are totally different the most we have to go to more of a jungle type situation...

My wife and I spent the weekend at the lake here in E.Tenn with our oldest daughter and the three teenage grandchildren outdoors in nature, fishing, hiking,swimming, etc. No one on their cell phone, no complaining. I count it a blessing because our daughter is always at the hospital working her but off in the cardiac unit.

I love the south. Becoming deadly in it makes me love it more. Making the moist hell on earth my home like Francis Marion truly does inspire my inner patriot. Thank you brother. Love to train sometime if you’re open to it

Thermal scout monocular is a must as night vision alone will not identify most stationary concealed animals etc.

South Carolina Lowcountry Native here. Subbed. Quick and lightweight and well concealed, with the capability to deliver a nasty sting when needed. This is the way in the pines and the swamp. Keep up the good work.

As a proud service member and subscriber, I found out that my child is going to be a boy and is extremely healthy. Thats the best news I've had in about the last 8 years of service. I hope the channel does well and take care brother

A buddy from work that I haven’t talked to in months invited me to church this Sunday. As far as I was tracking, he was atheist. I don’t know how he handled the crazy shit we used to do without God. Fond memories of landing in trees and closing with the enemy. Anyway, I’m so glad he returned to the Lord. Very excited to see him on Sunday. God bless yall

So glad someone is talking about Southeastern. I lived in Texas my whole and had prep for Texas weather and agriculture. Now I live in Florida and I haven’t see a lot people talk about the jungle and swamp. It’s always about the mountains. Love the vid and hopefully to see more of this

In south Georgia as well as Florida two of the best things you could pack would be a shannons bug tamer jacket and a plenty of no see um mesh fabric.

All those guntubers talk about setup in urban, cqb or flat range. Glad i found your video

NW Florida here all jungle I cant fathom how the Spanish rolled here 500+ years ago in chain mail and steel helmets. Great vid ! Clay Hayes is a local and a few other tubers. Our winters are great but summers are absolute hell.

Something nice that happened to me: I finally closed on my slice on land on top of a mountain in Tennessee.

Found this vid randomly and I love it. Here in East Tx the summers are miserable and the winters are just as bad lol. Its good to see the touch on the parasites being an issue as well as the use of permethrin. On top of the insect treatment i also carry a small odorless insect repellant. Even though my cloths may be treated, mosquitos and everything else always seem to find their way to exposed skin. Would love to see more parts to this as well!

Southeastern implant here. Hot and humid in Appalachia NC. But no place I’d rather be. Good people, quiet, slow, and free.

Great video. The one thing people always forget especially here in the southeast is bug control. When shtf tick checks would be a luxury. Chiggers, fleas and mites will drive you insane if not controlled properly. As you also mentioned the infection that comes with the bites.

That garand thumb intro reference has me on board brother!

The good thing for folks that don't have any kit or got rid of their old gear is you can get better equipment from surplus that works much better in the south than the modern stuff. Especially the m81, od jungles, boonies, patrol caps, alice gear, FLC etc.

Thank you boys, I am a wounded warrior but when they retired me and had a boy I got to baptized him,grateful every day

I hope your channel continues to grow. Something good this week, I ran for the first time in a larger number of years than I'm proud to admit, and I did much better than I anticipated.

My algorithm found you. Don't need the mount, but here's something nice. Autistic daughter made it to prom, and will graduate. That's awesome! Also, have 3 good chunks of land we will be looking at this weekend. All 20+ acres, have a well, and have either a river or lake adjacent. Pretty excited to have a look at those. I'm up in the NW, the woods are actually pretty similar aside from the heat index.

Drink water now! Oh no! Drink water now!!!

Great videos! Full of information, something nice this week: my mom is at the final stages of beating breast cancer!!!!!!!!!!💪💪

I've been trying to find videos like this since I got back home to the south and have rarely found any, so thanks and I hope you keep making them

This week I got in my very first apartment I'm finally living alone and it's awesome

The bag is a switchblade

"How to defeat thermal: Don't operate where they're using thermal." I simultaneously love and hate this piece of advice. 😅

I served 1980-2010. Been there done that, got the tshirt. I missed out on the Mog and Kosovo. Other than that “ shared the same blood in the same mud!” In Iraq in 2003 ( I was there for the opening pitch) I had made a battle belt with all my goodies. It was also a way to carry my pistol too, but I put suspenders on it. I was pretty damn good with a heavy duty sewing machine! Point me to the riggers, I’ll make some shit for us. I was making dump pouches for us before that was a thing!!!!! I had some down time waiting for a mission and I found out one of our guys served 4 years with 1st SFOD-D. I said bro where’s your pistol? He said I don’t carry one. I traded that for more ammo. I said now why would you do that? KB says well if im shooting with a pistol, I’ve screwed up. I turned in my pistol for more ammo ……………

I used to live in NY. Had a group of 14 guys I trained with, spent much, much time in the mountains. I moved to SC less than a year ago, and it's definitely a different environment. Still adapting, appreciate the video.

I'm in WVa. I just subbed. Took flowers to my Dad's grave for Father's Day! This sounds like a downer but it wasn't for me! My Dad was the best and pushed me to be where I'm at now! Finished up the range ,ran some drills! It was a goodweekend !

SC native here. One good thing about it. I can just rock OD green on everything and call it a day. Maybe it's the combat engineer in me but I always carry an e-tool in my kit. Plane Jane A2 style rifle with one of the Brownell's 4x scopes in the carry handle. No body armor in the field. I do have it for around the house or working a security check point but not if I'm out in the boonies walking around all day.

Loving content from the South East! We are under-represented in the KZfaq prep community

Interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thanks for the video keep pumping them out....

Love the video! Thanks for discussing the unique challenges we face in the Southeast. Good stuff. Other items that may be useful…a machete, hammock, tick removal tool and a snake bite kit. I also carry a small bottle of witch hazel. It’s an astringent/ cools the skin and soothes the itch from mosquito bites. Thanks again.

Good stuff brother, a great part 1 for the South/ Southeast TTP series. Belt/ LBE, LBV, and Chest Rig setups are the way (in scalable preference variability). Great point about the regional conditions with bugs and parasites-- Lyme Disease is a huge issue down there aside from all the creepy-crawlies and 'itis, learned a LOT about that training and being stationed at Benning lol. Prepare to be M O I S T .

I'm a born South Easterner and that's pretty nice in it's self. Hello everyone from South Carolina!

The old school H harness and cartridge belt never let me down.

I give you mad propps for doing the WORK in this climate!!

Awesome video. One thing I like to do is, keep a tarp as my shelter for moisture control, ease of movement in and out, size and time efficient staging. I can say I learned something from this video. Thank you!

Hey! I live in Florida, I dont know if other people see it as necessary, but I always have sunscreen! Theres nothing worse than being sunburnt, cold, wet and dehydrated all at the same time, especially in the summer month's.

Quick and nice , we’re all blessed by the Lord with another day of breath Amen

Nice work man. Solid vid. Very applicable to where I'm at here in FL.

Great work man! Don't get discouraged, keep pumping out content. My story for the week is that I'm currently stationed out in Virginia and my daughter lives in Arizona with her mom. But she's flying out to see me for the summer and I get to pick her up tomorrow morning!

Louisiana checking in. Its so nice to see content geared to our climate.

Something nice that happened this week! I was able to pay my light bill and my water bill so my wife and two daughters can not feel like the apocalypse has started!

So close to 10k had a great week got a good diagnosis from my doctor 🙌 what a weight off my mind! Franklin NC here

Augusta. GA here. Thanks for the SE love

Loved this mate, your an entertaining guy and I like the occasional jokes, great listen.

Seeing a war in America would be interesting because if the varied amount of kit by region. Local guys would already be well adapted and kitted while a conventional military would be left to adapt with what they have available.

Thank you for the video.

Besides those harsh steep mountain boys us hilly/heavily wooded cousins definitely have the advantage regarding terrain in combat.

Look forward to more content from you. Rock on!

This randomly popped up on my feed today. So happy that I found your channel. You hardly ever hear stuff about my area of the US! Only bad thing about Georgia is that it’s hot as fug!!

Overall, I think you did a pretty good job with that kit. The only thing I would suggest is that if you can, swap out the leg gaiters for snake chaps. Venomous snakes are a major threat down here at this time of year.

Finally I have found a channel specific to my region! Don’t get me wrong I love the content from all the other channels but western mountains, northwestern boreal forest, and southwestern desert is nothing like where I live in the southeast especially in the summertime. Summer months in the deep south is just different.

I was recon platoon in Vicenza a few decades ago. H-harness, solid butt pack, poncho-poncho liner, bug juice, extra batteries, snacks, and call it a day. We would jump in and strap our kevlars to the outside of our rucks as well. Saved hella room.

Here in the peedee area of SC, I've seen 100 with 100% humidity. A quality full sized machete is a must. Extra salt and potassium, rubbing alcohol, works great for insect bites,including fire ants,plus if you get into poison ivy, it can dissolve sap that regular soap won't. Fungal infections will happen, trust me, not might but will! Jock itch soo bad your crotch will be raw, athletes feet etc, you will have to have corn starch,and a tube of anti Fungal cream. You will need to take breaks, clean your body, especially crotch and feet and dry off,and let clothes dry.

You had me with the title brother. Me and all the ticks are best friends down here in the southeast. And you really opened my eyes with the hedge trimmers. I got a dozen of them but none are in my kit.

As a southwest Virginian i had the sibscibe after your intro statement.

I’m from southern WV and love to finally see some content applying to that type of terrain. It’s harsh for sure.

I’m currently in infantry AIT, watching your video on my phone on my weekend pass, the good thing that happened to me this weekend is I was afforded the opportunity to volunteer for an option 40 contract, I’m super excited and love your videos man

Don’t have time to finish the video right now, but subscribing anyway. Keep it up dude 🤙🏻

I’m in central MS, and people that aren’t from the southeast don’t understand how demoralizing this environment can be. Not saying it’s tougher than arctic or mountainous terrain, but it does require a different type of grit. It may not kill you as fast as extreme cold, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t make you wanna kill yourself 😂.

You should add a pair of wire cutters too! They come in handy if you have to go through a fence or something.

If you want a crash course on how unforgiving the southeast can be, go to JRTC at Fort Polk lol. 1-509th is the most proficient organization in this environment. New subscriber!

One thing I’ve almost found out the hard way is snakes. A cheap set of snake gaiters for your lower legs work great, super light and I don’t even notice them

I think it's the Eberlestock Switchblade Good video. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the info brother. Had to subscribe

Glad you addressed the bug juice.

The south is rough. I'm in the very south of Alabama. It's hot, it's muggy, it can be dry and swampy at the same time. My pack always includes dry clothes, especially socks. Snake bite kits are a must. I even keep a small fishing kit, lots of creeks and rivers around here.

He's talking about what you need for that 35 min drive to work in Birmingham al

Greetings from Lillington NC. this kit is well set up. I appreciate your coverage of operating in our biome.

Just discovered your channel today. Great content. I watched all your videos and subscribed. Keep up the good work.

Chinese Soldiers: All gangsta until the trees starts speaking Filipino (Philippine Scout Ranger)

I met a guy who has a lot of experience and knowledge on similar things, that was the highlight of my year considering I’ve been looking for a mentor like this man for years.

Tennesseean here, tuning in.

This is a dope channel. Subscribed brother

great content, cool kit

GREAT BRIEF BROTHER

Found you guys randomly. Good content. I use a hybridized ALICE/MOLLE rig. 200rd SAW gunner pouches are great and balanced on each side, holding 6 mags in them.

Subbed, Great info, genuine content and glad to see you on here. A lot of awesome good stories below well worthy of the give away, I hate the doom and gloom of the world these days. Good to read some good news.

Finally a video not out west or in a city! Bless you sir🙏🏼🫡

Much appreciated video. Those mountain survival videos don’t do much for us here in the swamp and pine scrub.

Big garland thumb vibes! I graduated and got the job of my dreams all in one week. I also managed to afford a mk18 and a SPR while maintaining financial discipline. Really big week for me, would love to have that riser for my build 🤙🏼

South East Ranger present and accounted for , first time seeing your platform new subscriber here .

Fort Bragg taught me well. Remember draws can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Know your neck of the woods.

Thank you for covering the southeast 👊
