JJ will take you on a journey of critical thinking as it relates to stealth camping while bugging out. Using only a minimal kit he put together from military surplus, tag along as he shows you how to make the most of what he has.
You'll learn how to think like an apex predator, take advantage of available resources and what you have to do when there are gaps in your kit.
If you’re tired of stealth camping videos that just don’t apply to a real life SHTF scenario, this video is for you!

On a side note, if you see a threat, they are already close enough to hear you. Evacuation might be more of a threat to your life than just trying to stay silent and concealed under cover. As he prepped to evacuate his stealth camp, the only thing I was thinking was he was making too much noise. If it is night out, you might be better off staying still. Something else to consider. Going to sleep leaning against a tree. Too many people snore in their sleep. Less likely to happen when you are upright than sleeping on your back or side. And sleeping inside an improvised sleeping bag ... it is going to draw critters to your bed for warmth and shelter. And if it is fall or winter you are going to need shelter as will they. And yes, you will wake up stiff as hell. Do some stretches, and give it about an hour of walking. You will work those kinks out. Something else to note on a forced hike. If you are sweating and wear tight underwear, you probably want to toss those. Those whitey tighteys (briefs) will collect sweat around the elastic bands. This turns them into sandpaper. Your inner thigh is going to be rubbed raw. To the point they might even be bleeding. Ladies the same goes for you. And yes, you may be better off without the bras. Same problem. The bands will collect sweat and possibly cut into your breasts or underneath them. You have a choice. Breast upper support or chaffing.

@BonesyTucson 7 ай бұрын

Good words and thoughts, thanks. I found microfibre boxer briefs, on the tighter side, a huge advance in chafe protection when long distance hiking.. especially while heavily sweating. Kind of like bike shorts but without the chamois/padding. If your clothing doesn't fit right or use the right materials, no amount of vaseline'ing your crotch is going to stop blisters. Yeah, it looks kinda goofy and no-one wants to see you smuggling prunes on the trails, but it's functional.. got the idea from those "ranger panties" the army has, but I couldn't find any so just used what I thought the closest equivalent from the local workwear store. Bonus they pack real small and dry real quick, so if you pack 3 pairs you can always have one washed and dried and ready to go. Also goretex socks. I swear goretex socks that go over your regular socks almost make hiking feel like cheating when it comes to foot care, but I'm a wet eastern forest/great lakes guy.

@superdave8248 7 ай бұрын

@@BonesyTucson People learn real quick if they are in the wrong foot wear on a prolonged hike/walk. Something everybody should have in their traveling first aid kit is moleskin. What is moleskin? It is a footwear product. It helps with blistering on your feet. If you have a foot blister, you pop the blister to drain the fluid, you slap a piece of moleskin over it and you won't feel the blister no more and keeps it from becoming worse. The adhesive they use on moleskin is tough. It is designed to take a beating. And it will stay on even when wet. The best way to remove it though is to soak it. This will loosen it up just enough to make peeling it off possible. But yes, everybody should have multiple socks and undergarments. I prefer wool boot socks myself. They are thicker for more comfort and being of natural fibers are easier to clean. But to each their own.

Regarding "abandoned" houses, you can NEVER be completely sure a house is abandoned unless you can see into every room from a distance outside. Post shtf people will not necessarily answer a knock on their doors or answer to anyone calling out to see if they are home. Most folks will remain quiet hoping you will just go away... well, until you try breaking and entering to scavenge, then they will likely respond with deadly, or at the least, crippling force to protect themselves or loved ones. Or the owners may simply be away hunting or gathering firewood and will walk up on you while you are involved in taking their property. Which is a scenario that, as you said, can get you shot. My advice is stay clear of other people's properties, before the collapse and afterward. Good video, useful info. Thanks for creating and posting it for us.

In those 20 years saw few people, where we where you couldn't live there so the feds where always looking for anyone living there. So I was always hiding, never walked out in the open. Always in the trees. I had a camp on every mountain around and was always on the move. Winter I liked being up high where I got more sunlight, summer I was around the rivers because of the summer heat.

I stay home unless I camp for fun. I live on 11 acres with a creek and lots of trees and I border on 400 acres and am only 20 air miles from the largest wilderness area in the U.S. outside of Alaska. But I don't venture into the back country except in summer and I'm 79. Having done that when younger, I found it was not to be done alone, which I always did, or in the spring or winter. I couldn't live off the land in the winter so I'll stay home. I have electricity at home and lots of firewood which I have been splitting the past 2 weeks. So in B.C. do you live north or south of Prince George? Near the Columbia River? Or on the coast like on Vancouver Island? Mild climate there. I lived for 25 years in the American San Juan Islands, 15 miles from Victoria.

In a true stealth situation, getting up multiple times a night is a giant "here I am" signal plus you lose so much heat getting out of your Ranger roll. In off road racing drivers and co drivers use a condom catheter they wear so they can pee without stopping. This is a super lightweight device that takes up nearly no room. If you wear this at night and the pee goes into urine collection bag, it help give back some heat too. It can be drained without getting completely out of your Ranger roll and used over and over again. Just a thought to avoid getting up multiple times a night.

Best advice ever, "knowing you will be uncomfortable." I've enjoyed and learned from all the vids on this channel. Those out there seem to forget NV and thermal gear are out there and both the hunters and the prey may have them. This is why in most modern societies it is so difficult to hide. Drones, aircraft, satellites and other eyes are going to be watching and hunting you. It would only come down to old school tracking if a major CME hits all the earth. The enemy will be civilization spots but also be the only places out there to get lost by appearing homeless or displaced and so blending into the mix of people not as well off. Standing out won't be as important as you might believe, since aid workers and others will be noticing those constantly in food lines and reporting back. (Sorry, I think outside the box.) I haven't practiced enough and know I'm done if a situation happens under harsh times being disabled too. It won't stop me from learning though to have a ghost of a chance.

Great exercise, JJ. I stealth camped at a Virginia state park; not wanting to pay $30 a night and listen to parties of rowdy people drinking, kids running around the campgrounds, etc. I hiked into the park well away from the main entrance and popular trailheads. My pack was a minimalist one with my military poncho, woobie, winter apparel like gloves, watch cap or beanie, shemagh, a liter of water, a couple of Clif energy bars. I wore wool layers of long underwear, long sleeves, wool socks and a fleece pullover under a Goretex jacket. The outer wear was all subdued Army green. I camped in an elevated area overlooking a small stream but the sleeping area was in a slight depression. If anyone came up the hill I could easily hear footsteps. I could easily and quickly egress towards the stream on a rock ledge minimizing my movement sounds. I did this throughout the spring and fall. It was too warm in the summer months and flying pests made it miserable.

This is a very good training. The one thing to remember is the predators in your area. I have to deal with bear and coyote that will stalk you during the day and bobcat at night. As a kid, I tried to solo camp in a remote field on our land. The evening was great, but the starlight brought out a bobcat that walked around my camp screaming and watching me. A cat will look at you, then look away, so you feel safe then not the safe. Bear give you a horror movie feeling when they watch you. Coyote will rarely break their stare. It is also good to be aware of how your body responds to life and death stress. The light sleeper, means resting for 2 hours at a time, rather than all night. When walking, if you learn to place your feet flat on the ground with each step, you will move faster without noise. Heel walking is very loud. Pay attention to wildlife as they will give up your position. I use a turkey call to cover my movement through loud areas. A cover sound allows you to walk up on deer. Know how to mimic a fox, as this makes great cover sounds while hunting. I have found you don't need camo to hunt deer when you use cover sounds correctly. I take teenagers out during youth hunts and I tell them to not be quiet. I then bring out a laughing red fox sound, while the teen is laughing, a buck will step out within 100 feet. These are mature hunting skills that take years to learn, so practice.

Don't talk to yourself 3. Ideal scenario to have a jetboil and lessen needing to light a fire.. 4. Eat when you are honestly hungry and not because it's that time of day, by habit or you get a little pang of hunger. 5. Regarding trash, remember to also have respect for the outdoors. 6. You can save time on getting out of the sleep system by having a large dry-bag ready to go next to you. Once rolled up, you can stuff it whilst moving. 7. Binoculars as a good force multiplier? 8. Electronic shooting headphones turned up to max volume: gives super human hearing?

Great tips, JJ! Prior to my interest in such tactical subjects recently, I was in a condition that prompted me to assess my actual training and skills. The real skills were rusty, having been replaced by seemingly more enjoyable training -- sitting in front of a screen or even the pages of an actual book, occasional home improvement tasks, and snacking every couple hours of the day to keep hunger at bay. After sensing that something wasn't right about occasional hypoglycemic "nerves" and more subtle mental glitches, I decided to find out what the problem was and fix it. For me, the new training regimen had the aim of recovering superior blood sugar metabolism. That was six or so years ago and today I eat for only 6-8 hours a day -- and it doesn't take me any longer to eat a steak and eggs breakfast than anybody else. When I'm not eating, a lot of my energy is coming from fats rather than sugar. Because my EDC includes a decent supply of just that energy source -- and because my training has improved optimisation of that supply, I am never hungry. So no snacking required, though I do have an occasional treat -- but calibrated to not upset my enjoyable "meta-librium". One other thing about this training is that it takes less water to process the foods I eat, so I don't need to drink as much -- or get rid of as much. At the age of 73, that's a countertrend phenomenon at night, let me tell ya. So, for a SHTF hike in the woods lasting more than a couple days I'm going to want some dried or canned meats, with a bacon grease chaser! Maybe a good whey protein drink for dessert . . .

Robert93, Wise words n skills take myself to the Bob Marshall Mountain training n Pineland. I am pushing 70 n not where I want to physically speaking. 😢 As tough as you may be I'd suggest if you already live somewhere remote in between. I'd elect to bug in vs on the run per se. I have 15 gkids with 8 close by n live in the woods. Most of my gkids know how to load magazines n shoot 22lr. They spend most days in the woods. They can hunt n track with gpappy n recognize the dangers of guns n you eat what you kill. Last fall they killed 2 fox squirrels n a rabbit n cook them on sticks over a fire with salt n pepper. Anyhow, I try to share my experiences n skill sets, yet many I've lost due to TBI. Regardless, I'd still say you would live better in place of your home if rural environment. Due to spinal injuries I recognize my capabilities n often remind myself I am getting a nip ole paradog myself. I generally watch Canadian Prepper with Nate. Like his humor n logical assessments. Good luck brother, if n when things go south. Just a matter of time before someone escalates their hand. Yet their intentions are to overwhelm the United States resources n bring our nation to its knees imho.

Lately I've begun to question what is the goal of bugging out? Where would I be going. Am I running away? Am I hiding? What are the reasons and when do I decide it's time? Don't misunderstand, I have the training, physical capability and excessive amounts of proper equipment. I've made countless iterations of systems and plans to travel, navigate, survive, hide and thrive and the eventual goal is always the same. You seek to provide yourself with shelter, security and sustenance. Your seeking home. So I ask these questions because a failure to plan is a plan to fail. What would compel you to leave home only to seek home? There are potentially good answers to that question. NBC contamination is one. Hostile siege is another. What protections do you have to make egress safer? Do you have the skills to implement something like an NBC suit and mask? If you're under the pursuit of a force capable of infiltrating the US, do you know what you'll have to do to effectively evade them? Can you remain invisible to a drone with IR imaging? Can you remain invisible while moving? Do you have enough experience in your support system to fight? Can you shoot, move and communicate effectively enough to undermine an invading stronghold? What are you going to do if there's an enemy trying to mortar your position? These a questions I ask myself. I know I can either handle or play a strong role in a team. I know I can supply a team with enough gear to remain functional. But are you asking yourself anything like this or you planning on fishing?

@papimaximus95 7 ай бұрын

Exactly! Bugging out makes you a refugee. If you MUST leave, then only go so far as to the next rally point. You can map these out in advance. Friends houses, relatives, local hotels, police/fire stations, etc. If the entire state/country/world is compromised, then you better get to that rally point and start to gather numbers. There is strength/safety in numbers.

@Simple_But_Expensive 7 ай бұрын

A good way to think about it is to assess the hazards in your area, both locally and regionally. For instance, I live in the San Joachin Valley just north of LA. Just south of LA is a nuclear power plant and a Marine base. Further south is many military bases. All of them are potential targets. If something were to happen, I would have 10 million screaming people heading north (east is hundreds of miles of desert). The same problem if LA suffers a major quake (say a richter scale 8). This is a regional threat. A more local threat is a major earthquake where I live (24 miles from the San Andreas). Even more local is an oilfield that produces hydrogen sulfide. Even more local than that, I live one block from a highway that has regular shipments of LNG tank trucks. For each hazard I have a plan ranging from shelter in place to run run run. For shelter in place I have two options: sealed room or four season backyard tent. For run run run, I have a reciprocal agreement with a friend well out of the area. If I need to run, I run to his place. If he needs to run, he runs to my place. Transportation heiirarchy is truck, bicycle, lpc. My ruck is custom made (my sister has a sewing machine that can sew sail canvas). Each section is zippered on and can be abandoned as necessary. It starts out at 50 pounds and has all the bells, whistles, and snivel gear. If that is too much, I can unzip a pocket and abandon it. The final pocket weighs 10 pounds and only has basic survival gear. My food (10 day supply) is dehydrated (made it myself). I can use a stove, but if necessary, I cold soak it and then heat it up with an MRE heater pack (found them on Amazon). All food, itensils, and trash is in a bearproof container that I store way over there when I camp. I also cook (if using a stove) and eat way over there. My stove is a Trangia with the “winterization” pie pan and burner. With the gas fuel attachment, I can fuel it with twigs, alcohol, white gas, gel, solid fuel tabs, butane, or propane. Because of the design, it will emit light only if using twigs for fuel, and I include some aluminum foil to shield that. If I am abandoning equipment, I keep the alcohol burner and one pot and I also carry a Trangia triangle which weighs less than an ounce. I carry a squeeze bag type water purifier (pro tip: if it may freeze, keep it next to your skin under your shirt except when using). If I am down to that last pouch of my backpack, it contains a knife, a bic lighter, the water purifier, the bearproof container of food, fishhooks and line, snare wire, a poncho, and a space blanket. As far as I am concerned, anything less and I am not surviving, I am only staving off dying. I have learned what plants are edible between my house and my friend’s house. I have learned how to find them in all four seasons. Since he lives 800 miles away I really, really hope I don’t need to bug out in winter, and if I do, I can get clear enough to go offroad in my truck. I keep the necessary gas on hand, just load the ruck, the mountain bike, the gas and go. I have driven the dirt roads several times and know the way without GPS or maps.

I carry an emergency mylar tent for 2, mylar blankets, a single hammock with a bug net, and a tarp with several yards of bankline. That's my defense against nature. It all packs in a small stuff sake and is attached to the outside of my Get Home Bag. I have used this system for YEARS. Granted, I couldn't pack it up in 30 seconds, but if a threat is near, I use the hunker down method and hope I'm invisible enough for the danger to pass but and if not I do carry a firearm for protection as well as BearSpray.

Thanks for your video.💪 I have three bug-outbags depending on the sitation. In my car and two at home. One for never coming back and one for coming back. But in all three i carry four handwarmers. They are really gold. Did some training hikes in winter with temps below minus 5 degrees Celsius. O man, you are becoming so miserable in the cold after 2 or 3 hours. And that is without the experience of real danger from the unknown. That kind of awarenes takes way more energy. 30 minutes before laying down i like to eat something. Because that really helps you to stay a bit warmer. I do not like to sleep in full gear. Because of the condensation in your clothes. But you also need to be able to quickly depart. All in all it is much harder then most people think it is. Hiking for only four days in such cold can break you. The energy you need is enormous. Food and water is a must. And actually you need to replanish before it will hit hard. Bugging out or getting home in a shtf situation is really hard. My never getting home bag is almost 28 kg. The first days you can do that. But after two weeks ?

Hey, there Mr. Morris 😉 I've spent lots of time trying and testing set-ups to end up with 2 options [ warm and cold weather ] both a single person use no frame and all you need is a branch above you to tie a single vertical line [pyramidoid shape] and you can carry each one in one of your side pockets of cargo pants... no more than a min to put it back to the pack together with the sleeping bag inside, maybe a little more if the weather asks for a tarp overhead... but for a cold night I like to carry a set of 5 heating pads spread around in my sleeping bag held in place with a safety pin and a very useful to carry a power bank to power it and what else I need, this way a lightweight sleeping bag can go a long way, I don't need to carry bulkier, heavier stuff... ( that's what I do ) I really enjoyed you showing your tracking skills, ( I hope you went back the next day to hunt some deer now that you scouted the place... ) you really fit the woods like an old tree... and you made it just fine considering that you didn't have your gear of your choice with you... good thinking to bring your favored dino with you...

@Simple_But_Expensive 6 ай бұрын

So what do you do if the problem is something that makes the bunker useless, like a large nuclear blast upwind causing an incoming cloud of radioactive contamination? You can’t sit in the bunker forever. You should also have a bailout plan to get you far away. I have a friend 800 miles away. I store bailout supplies at his place and he stores supplies at my place. This is in addition to my shelter in place supplies and escape to my friend’s place supplies. No plan survives contact with the enemy. (Be it people or inclement conditions). That is why they are called enemy. That is also why you should have multiple plans. That being said, I envy you your bunker. Best I can do for shelter in place is a sealed room and a four season tent.

So, I put 4 holes in the bottom of my gay pack and 2 paracord straps with a jam knot for my folding closed cell foam mat which. I spray panted to match fallen leaves. You could have improved your time by pulling out matt prior to stuffing the Ranger Roll. I’ve taken an SOL Mylar blanket and large safety pin end it to a poncho liner. I taped it first with clear Gorilla packaging tape. The Survive Outdoors Longer Mylar blanket is quiet and inexpensive an about 4 ounces. A 55 gal drum liner and poncho completes the system. I use the full length of the folding Matt as it is smaller than a cut down rolled Matt. Two 20 oz drinks that can later attach to a Sawyer water filter. The filter, pocket knife, 2 lighters, roll 1 inch Gorilla tape, cheap compass, small flashlight, safety glasses, small pack wet wipes, a pepper spray can all fit in your pockets. Beanie, extra socks, gloves, and nylon rain pants and jacket go in pack with Ranger roll. I go for candy bars and cliff bars. A small fire that is hidden in a collapsed twig stove or alcohol or tablet stove should be fired up prior to dusk, less likely to be seen and mid day.

Maybe a plastic bottle inside the sleeping bag would make things easier, and would also keep you a little warm from the bottle for a while and you can reach out and dump it somewhere. Really helps to keep an open mind on the possibilities; if we don't get nuked we have a chance. Fortunately our creator has given me the blessing of learning intermittent fasting and some full-time fasting so that outside of trekking for 40 miles with a backpack, there would be less desire for food, at least for a while

LOng experience suggest to me that you've got it arse-about, Toots. EVERYTHING your brother can teach you has already been taught to countless others.

Mother Nature offers ALL the hints we need: hints which carried our ancestors through billions of years of trials and tribulations. Learn to assess EVERY circumstance and then rely on those inherited instincts; and ACT immediately; without even thinking about risks and possibilities. Fight or Flee, as Ma has instilled. And if you NEED an 'advisor', get friendly with cockroaches! THEY have been on earth for 100 million years longer than the dinosaurs, and will still be here when homosapiens has been flushed down the sewers of history! And NOT A SINGLE MARINE AMONGST THEM!

You can carry the minimum is a loose pack and fill in the rest of the gear to suit the situation you might be in. More is better. It gives you flexibility in choices. I can promise you , that what ever happens won't be exactly what you train for. You can practice at home a list of things you might need for different scenarios. Leave what you don't need or you might have a passenger who needs gear or even for a quick barter. An old boy scouts thoughts. Keep a sharp knife, thanks Allen

The walking and staying focused part would be great! Keep the help coming. Love it!! Really appreciate you!

The MM peanuts could have been a warming snack. Or any other chocolate. I keep dark chocolate in my pocket when sleeping out in cold weather. Or a snicker bar.

You obviously don’t live in bear country. Contrary to popular opinion, bears wake from hibernation several times a season, and they can smell food from miles away. Having experienced bear encounters while backpacking, I want no part of a hungry bear rifling my pockets looking for food. I always prepare, consume, and store food way over there. About 20 years ago there was an incident of a boy scout being mauled to death for the candy bar he had in his sleeping bag. It has always stuck in my head, because it was in a campsite I had used one week before. I wouldn’t take the chance.

Same goes for clothes you cooked in or cleaned game/fish! Might as well just rub yourself with bacon grease and ring a dinner bell!

Done a few long hikes, and austere stealthy camps. Yes, it is exhausting, and you get run down fast. Most people won't get that until they do it. Great video! Much enjoyed. Thanks.

Good stuff all around! Now add that we live in an age of trail cams, drones and night vision. If it's bad people are gonna be super vigilant with this tech. Scan for those trail cams, especially if you see a bait pile or a shooting lane in good deer habitat. Also, learn the sound of an ATV closing in on your 20. Don't be where someone can just speed up on you. Go where the coyotes go. It's tough to cover distance under those constraints. Take care of those feet and best know how to navigate without turning ankles and twisting knees.

Another reason why practicing bushcraft is useful - it shows you your real abilities in certain environment. And it turns out that you can do a lot less than you think you would. And it turns out that it takes more time than you thought. I love practice.

Do a general or detailed task at a nominal temperature with a normal amount of rest & intake. Do that same task at an extreme temperature with minimal amount of rest, calories, water intake, winded & stressed, through a lack of sleep or risk and an appreciation of what this vid is trying to tell you will grow.

I know you said you weren’t a fan of a hammock but I spent a week in Wyoming with the temperature in the low to mid 20s with just a tarp over my setup. I know the tarp would be a no go for your speed requirements but dropping two clips and stuffing it in a bag would reduce your time in half I’d bet? Might have to do a little more searching for 2 trees at the right distance? The foam pad seemed to be your biggest issue. Very bulky. Not sleeping on the ground is a lot better in my opinion. I also did a week in California in my hammock. Just be sure to have good base layers. I took it to the Grand Canyon and had the coldest night of my life. I was under the impression the temps were going to be mid 50s and it ended up snowing 10 miles away. I learned a tough lesson. Excellent advice.

When I was in the military, I could ruck 20 miles with a 60+ lbs pack and gear, no problem. That's a few decades in the past. I'm still fit, with good cardio, but I'd say my max would be 10 miles these days, with a survival loadout. I do walk in camping from time to time, so know what to carry, how to carry, and how my pace holds. Also depends on the season. Late spring through early fall, no issue. Winter into spring, going to be slower. Not only due to cold and damp, but less daylight, and the need to set up a warm camp each night. My choice, and the one I usually express, is to find others of like mind in the area to prepare with now. The weight load drops exponentially with more people. You only need one axe for every six people or so. Same with cooking gear. Cast iron is the best outdoors, but heavy. Everything can be distributed, depending on the people. While more people are harder to keep concealed, the overall benefits outweigh any downside, imo. MRE's are also the worst thing to take. Too much wasted weight and space. Military uses them because they have the logistics to deploy them as needed. If you must, take them apart now and toss anything you aren't going to eat. I suggest making pemmican now. Lighter and far higher in calories. Also, don't carry much water. It's heavy. Drop a few bottles of water purification tablets in your pack, or even a LifeStraw or two. SOCKS!!! I can not stress that enough. If you have spare room in your pack, consider adding another pair of socks. Wet feet will kill you. During a day hike, you should probably change your socks three times. If you're going to sleep in socks, or with your socks and boots on, place a clean dry pair in your sleeping kit each morning for use at night. You can wash dirty ones along the way, and hang from your pack to dry (place a plastic bag against your pack to keep it dry if it's not waterproof). If you can have a fire, woodsmoke will "freshen" your clothes. Standing in the smoke with your jacket open to catch the smoke with help with body odor and that "stickiness" until you are free to bathe. Lastly, if you're going to bug out, you need a plan. You have to have a destination in mind. Preferably many choices. Which choice based on what's going on. If you're just going to "head into the woods" on an escape and evasion, you are in for a world of hurt. Plan routes to avoid major population areas, and highways. If you need to cross a major highway at some point, make plans on doing so away from towns/cities along the roadway. Your plan and execution is good for avoiding riots and gangbangers. If you're avoiding a military force, you are woefully under prepared. Same for a long term expedition. No map, no compass, no referencing landmarks .... one lost soul.

I loved this video! It was very insightful and let me know I have more "homework" to do. A lot of the decisions you made would have been very counter intuitive for me. My plan is to bug in, but I know there are real reasons I might have to evacuate. I'd love to see more content for this topic, as well as hear if you have any specific considerations or recommendations for women.

Thank you! I saw your post on the poll and I am contacting my female friends for advice on the subject. Hopefully I can come up with a video here in the future. I’m glad the video caused the critical thinking to come into play. This is something that is very important. Just so you know, “bugging out” doesn’t necessarily mean leaving home. Bugging out simply means leaving a place that is compromised for a place of safety. In this video, I was on a journey to get back home after an emergency. My next video is going to address this and perhaps it will help answer some questions for you. Thanks for watching and especially for posting questions that can help others!
