If a person is only good because they fear the consequences of being bad then they aren't good.

Reason to be the good guy #1: At some point, things will normalize. Anyone who survives being your neighbor will remember what you've done...

“Those who are proponents of war are usually those who have never experienced it.”

No man is a island to himself. Community is what will make us stronger. Divided we fall, united we stand

During the Civil War Missouri broke into pro-Union and pro-Confederate factions based on large families. It got so bad travelers would hear an anonymous voice coming out of the bushes asking “You (pro-Reb/pro-Union family) or (anti-Reb/anti-Union family)?” Travelers that gave the wrong answer got whacked. It’s where the term “Bushwhacking” came from. We don’t want to go back to that.

I lived through the ice storm of 98’ in northern Maine. We lost power for 3.5 months in the middle of winter. We all survived just fine. The wild animals had a hard time along with the trees. We had to syphon gas out of anything we could since no stores or gas station were open the whole time. No police or plow trucks for the first few weeks. 4+ inches of ice on everything. Hundreds of miles of wood high tension power lines broke. I had a power inverter and a truck battery to watch tv with our satellite tv & a VCR/DVD player. Neighbors helped neighbors. Small towns were amazing back then.

Real men teaching authentic masculinity. What a breath of fresh air!

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ― Samuel Adams

Supplies without weapons makes one a loot drop. Weapons without supplies makes one a raider. Supplies and weapons without community is a countdown til failure.

As a child, I used to go to bed worried about the boogie man. As an adult, I wake up from my bed worried about people.

Prepare your soul and not just your body for the fight. "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

Finally a smart, comprehensive approach to prepping. All my friends ask me what new guns they should buy. How much ammo? I tell them food, how much food do you have? Do you take any medicine? How long can you go without a pharmacy? Im glad theres other level headed people preparing. Its especially refreshing to see a focus on morality. Also I want to thank you for reminding me that i may have to deal with "bad" veterans that have as much or more training than myself. In my head I had become slightly naive in expecting other former service members to be "good", thats naive of me. Not all of them will be :(

Was at the range this morning and had this same talk with my buddy. It is important to be a community leader in a time of strife. I live in a quiet area in a dark blue state; are my neighbors prepared? no. My first priority during an event would be to touch base with the guy next door, he has 5 kids. Then check on the old lady on the other side of me. If we all resort to being savages in a crisis than what humanity is even left to fight for? Saying I am going to kick their door in and **** em for their stuff is fucking psychopathic and the reason I have gear is to defend myself from those people.

"Novices plan tactics, professionals plan logistics" this is by far the best statement in regards to whatever people prepare for.

Community is the best bet in any crisis. Always get to know your neighbors, and be of genuine assistance in every day life. Learning first aid, trauma aid, and have this equipment first, and as always, food ,clothing, and shelter to spare for those without it Then defense gear lastly! Train, train, and train. Have a plan as a community. Your channel won me over by removing the hyper aggressive.

Here is the thing. Games have been programming kids, adults, well the major populace to do just that thing. Look at all these “survival” and battle royal game modes. They program the overall populace to turn against each other and “loot” bodies. For those that have never experienced reality in these types of situations they fall to their predispositions which is the video games they played.

I overheard a coworker say the other day someone was talking about all the preps and guns they had. And the guy that I was listening too said (if some zombie type it happens you best believe I'm gonna be at his place taking his shit) truly baffled me we work at a good paying place. It just disgusting me on so many levels and it made me realize most people are not your friend. No matter how good of a person you are

This is why community is so important. There’s going to be people who know how to farm and have medical skills, but lack security skills/pew pews. For the long term, the good guys who work together will thrive in apocalypse.

SIMPLE STEPS TO PRIORITIZE: 1. Have a basic means to protect yourself and your loved ones (actively and passively), and practice the practical application of doing so. Suggestions - pistol, possibly rifle, 200 rounds ammo for each, a means of concealing them, run drills involving family for what to do in different scenarios in first hour, day, week, etc. 2. Have basic food, water, medical, shelter, lighting, transportation, information gathering, and communications needs for at least one month. Suggestions - 5gal bucket water filter setup, 50lb bag of rice and beans, portable camp stove with an adaptor to attach to a 20-30lb propane tank, large jar of multivitamins, large family first aid kit and IFAK, a reliable vehicle (preferably with at least some ability to drive off road without getting stuck), a cheap tablet with useful ebooks (medical, food, survival, tactics, evasion, auto maintenance for your vehicle, etc) to reference when necessary (duplicates files on all electronic devices), shortwave emergency radio (solar, rechargeable, whatever), flashlights that take 18650 rechargeable batteries, a portable battery backup (with solar and car charging accessories) to recharge batteries radios phones walkie talkies etc, a tool box with pliers screwdrivers common socket sizes etc and multitool, cheap 4 pack of Baofeng bf-888s rechargeable walkie talkies (good for about 3-4mi range) 3. Have at least 2-3 friends or family members outside your immediate family you live with that you would trust with your life and vice-versa. Make a plan with them on where to go, what to bring, and what to do if they or you don't arrive according to plan. 4. If possible, extend step 3 to your immediate neighbors or at least a few neighbors you have determined seem capable and put together enough to respond to a crisis. Suggestions - post something on nextdoor asking if anyone is interested in forming a local community natural disaster preparedness group, vet individuals for further more extreme preparedness measures accordingly. 5. Have a place to go away from your home location if things go sideways...prioritize natural resource availability (fresh water, food to forage, etc), then security (rural better than suburban/urban), bring material to barter with (ammo, cigs, painkillers, anything small that stores easy and people would want) to build trust and community with whoever lives around wherever you're bugging out to if not already established. Total cost (not including vehicle) around $2000 and roughly 100hrs practice/preparation if going for used gear and bargain hunting to increase your survival odds 100x compared to the rest of the humans around you panicking with their hair on fire. Good luck out there, next few years might get a little hairy.

As a Pastor and former infantryman my goal is to build up the community and safeguard our freedoms. A people divided will never stand! But true unity is diversity built upon the law of love. I have personally prepared with firearms and ammunition in conjunction with a large supply of emergency food and water. Medical supplies and sheltering equipment geared towards helping those who have need in my church and community.

These guys have become one of only two KZfaq creators that I will stop what I'm doing to watch their content. Even if it is just to make sure I bookmark the video to watch later.

“Live by the sword, die by the sword.” That statement proves itself true tirelessly and endlessly. No one is invincible and we’re all equally mortal. People who only have plans to kill, steal, and destroy will more likely succumb to their ways because they’re seen as a threat by someone else.

I run a non-profit for vets. Part of it requires me to talk with every park district in my county, and I do my absolute best to stay connected and build a network of good people. If something bad kicks off, I feel my role will have allowed me to potentially bridge our communities to work together to weather the storm. But at the same time, I've seen the things people are willing to do when they're hungry, or their children are hungry. It can fall apart quickly. The people who just resign themselves to take instead of give and share are the cracks in a foundation that would need to be filled before continuing to build.

Evil people will do evil things. The greatest threat in a situation like that will be people who you think you can trust but that you really shouldn't. I know a guy who went around telling people that if the shit ever hit the fan his plan would be to take try and take out my neighbor and myself and just take our equipment (my neighbor is my best friend and he is also very well prepared) regardless of the fact that this guy has absolutely O training or knowledge on the use of our equipment outside of what he has "learned" from video games. This same dude then told us that his plan was to come find us and work with us because we "would make a good team". Fuck that noise. The problem is how many people think like that but don't say anything about it. Being a good guy would be very important and I feel like so many people today are completely morally bankrupt.

I joined the Marine Corps at 18 and had so many fantasies of 'going to war' and 'smokin bad dudes' and it's still kinda fun to imagine it but now at 25 and out of the military, I am absolutely not about that anymore. I used to be the "I want to do what I'm trained for" hoping for any conflict to rope us in and get me a deployment. Those same ideas terrify me now that I realize there's more to life than just fighting/combat and maybe maturity kicked in too. I love guns and all the tacticool stuff and enjoy shooting and training but I really REALLY hope I never have to use it in any kind of serious scenario. Especially without the DoD directly supporting you. I get that it's fun to talk about 'doing work' and running hypotheticals to death. I never want to be in combat, but I'm gonna prepare all I can for it if I have to protect myself or loved ones. Love the perspectives and information in this video. Subbed and excited for some more great content.

I believe the best method to identify yourself WHEN (not IF, definitely WHEN) you cross paths with someone you do not know and do not know their intentions, the best way to identify yourself is "I am a Constitutionalist" because if SHTF, our best hope for fixing things is to go back to our roots and start again.

Thank you both for bringing this topic up. I hear from people as well who say evil things like you mentioned as well. It's scary to hear people talk like that and best to do as you say, make a mental note and remove them from your circle. People who don't have a realistic understanding of the horror that we are preparing for are actually extremely dangerous. Deciding to be a good guy is paramount!

During hurricane Ian, the island I live on was separated from the mainland and we were without power for over a month. And I'm proud to say with the exception of very few people. Everyone on the island pitched together and helped everyone. The looters found out real quick not to mess around. we shared water fuel food and ammo.

Thank you for saying all of this. As an ex military solider, I could never wrap my head around a bunch of civilians salivating on the possibility of being able to kill other civilians. They are not playing solider, they are just being sociopaths.

I'm born and raised in Hawaii. Here we pull together and help. Elderly first, then woman and children. Bad guys or "takers" will never last here. God bless you young men. You've got the right idea.

Love this, it's constructive, productive, well intentioned. A forward thinking group of people making something that can actually help teach others how to prepare for terrible scenarios .You doing this is in no small way giving people the tools /mind set of being better and good during hard times. Bravo gentlemen keep up that solid work.

Raiding is an unsustainable practice long-term. It might get you what you need in the short term, but if you only have combat skills and nothing else, you're fucked eventually.

Blocking the liberty safe logo is awesome haha. Can't really throw them away, so preventing advertisement is the only course of action.

So many good messages in this, I seriously love you guys for putting this out. What a great discussion on realistic disaster preparedness and how being prepared can actually affect your morality when shtf. I’m sharing this to everyone in my family and my close friends.

To be a True Man, one of honor and integrity, this is what we should all strive for...

In an "in person" meeting where good people get together and discuss how we could help each other in a bad situation, a former Ranger pulled the same sorta thing this video highlights. he admitted to not being prepared for any sort of bad situation. His exact words were "Might is Right. I am trained well enough to take from the people who are prepared, and I got SEAL buddies who do the same." I was appalled, but not as much as another attendee who retorted "How long do you think that way of living will last for you? How many doors do you think you can kick before you kick the wrong one? He didn't really no how to answer. It was a major wake up call for all of us. This guy is not a random bad seed, I think its far more prevalent than most would believe. Suffice to say, better vet everyone you bring into your circle before you share much with them.

this is a really good video. a lot of people who fantasize about when theres an apocalypse or a civil war think of like doing badass operator shit and just killing people and dont actually think about the "rebuilding society" part of it. this video is very wise and valuable.

I've been avoiding this video in my feed for 2 months... Never clicking "not interested' or "do not reccommend" because I thought maybe it'd be worth a giggle later. Now I'm a Dirty Civilian fan.... Officially. This is an excellent video guys keep up the excellent work.

Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites. Great content that’s practical and easy to understand. I appreciate it more than you know! ❤️

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth " ... i see a lot of people saying " i am a good guy " . But every villian throughout history thought they were the "good guy" . Actions speak louder then words . When the shit hits the fan always remember the golden rule . Treat people how you would want to be treated

The thing about the people who would choose to take the "bad guy" route, is that it seems like they haven't considered the consequences of it. Let's consider the fact that this involves murdering innocent people and leaving children without anyone to take care of them, or worse...all to fill your stomach and keep you warm. Those you harm will have friends and family who will want to know what happened and who's responsible, and in a WROL situation, there's nothing between them and you except your ability to hide. If you plan to be a "bad guy" when everyone is suffering, you better make sure you have elite SERE skills because you're going to be spending all your time on the run. And the longer you run the more desperate you'll get, and the more violent you'll get, and the more enemies you'll make. It will be a matter of hours, days at most before you're found and treated very badly by people who are extremely emotional over the things you've done.

i love that somebody finally pointed out all the disaster psychos, like yeah i’m prepared for an armored and or trained target but that doesn’t mean i want to make them my target if i do not have to. if i’m within earshot of a random, i will probably take a good position to announce my friendship, or just let them pass if i haven’t been seen and i don’t trust them.

A very important part of security is time. We all have the same 24 hours in a day. You cannot be awake for all of them, you cannot be home for all of them. You need a community to protect your blind spots when you are asleep or away. Humans are social animals. Everything we do is built upon social interaction. Humanity built the modern world on working together and protecting eachother. If you want your neighbors to be willing to help you when times are hard, you first need them to be willing to help you when times are good. Meet your neighbors, know your neighbors, be in community with your neighbors. Do it now while you have the choice, not later when you have no other option. When people trust each other to pitch in and participate for the good of all it becomes harder for society to break down. If society never breaks down you will never need to ask yourself if your morals are more important than your survival. Be kind to your neighbors. Be kind to your coworkers. Be kind to strangers in the store, or on the street. Just be kind, like Mr. Rogers.

Thank God. I’m so tired of this social media culture bunch of selfish scumbags. How is it when I’ve had the same conversation no one ever said “I’m going to build a community that’s supports and helps each other.”

I’ve played 264 hrs of Fallout 4, I’ll be fine. But seriously, keeping your mouth shut when needed is a top skill to have.

The hurricane footage at 17:10 is from Hurricane Ian hitting Fort Myers Beach, Florida in 2022. I can confirm first hand that there was some sketchy moments of civil unrest when help hadn't arrived to most parts by day 3. I was carrying(and glad I was in a few situations) while working before, during, and after the storm for a local municipality. Having an entire city blame you for the city water being off when you were the one trying to fix it is a terrifying place to be in. I know my part was very small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but seeing how people acted when their water was off for a couple days(we were estimating 2-3 weeks of no water and managed to work nonstop for 5 days and turn it back on to most of the city) was enough to change my mind on my own preparedness.

Thanks brothers one of the most informative and logical videos I have seen on any possible situation that may occur. Look out for each other

I was just talking to my manager about this 2 days ago. Glad yous brought it up. Definitely appreciate you guys for shedding some light on it 💯 Morality & Consciousness of God and judgement day are key. If one's not religious, then the fact you have Morals & compassion for humanity is a beautiful thing in and of itself, and will be favorable in the sight of God (whether one believes that or not). And if one is religious, then the fact that you know you'll be held accountable for how you conducted yourself and treated others Should ever be in the forefront of ones mind. At the end of the day, they'll be the triumphant ones.... Whether in this life, or in the next. Protect yourselves, your families and friends, and protect those who can't protect themselves! That's what REAL men do 💪🏽

i thank my father every day of my life for instilling in me the hardline discipline that made so i strive to be a good guy. Maybe when i was a child i didnt realize he was shaping my character into having a good and strong moral compass when he was being heavy handed, but now as a man i can not stop thanking him. I love you apa, thank you.

It’s strange how people in the comments are all about law and order and anti-looting until the situations meets their criteria for said activities. Thought the point of owning the gear and being prepared was so you can survive and with your ability to survive, help those who are struggling and willing to work for their survival too. What a whacked country we have.

Just came across your channel. Glad I did. It’s actually rare to come across the level headed men and women. Most fear monger and bully. You provided a great break down and potential planning. Well done. Thank you.

You gentlemen have definitely earned a new subscriber. I've been following you guys on and off for some time now, sort of feeling out the terrain. This video just solidified it for me. As a person who considers himself a "good guy," these are the types of videos (and people) we need more of. And good on you both for taking stock of (and disassociating from) those unsavory characters.

Kudos to your cameraman for raising this topic. A foreign or domestic enemy would love for those they are attempting to subject to fight each other. May this topic of morality despite desperate circumstances becime a trend amongst other you-tube "influencers"

Seed kits would allow you to feed many if war comes to our country. Clean water is another aspect. A responsible citizen has provided for a season of food, to get to summer, seeds to plant to feed many, and has the means to provide clean water. If the “good guys” did this, most of the problems people imagine wouldn’t exist, and the “bad guys” wouldn’t have a reason they can hide behind to exercise their lack of morality.

Love the message and you approach to not just survive but maintain and preserve some semblance of normality

I’ve been on board with all this and man did this take time. Even something as simple as “recruiting” getting to know your neighbors where they stand and are they trustworthy. I also don’t own my own property that’s a big factor.

Man I really appreciate you guys. I’m just a guy who wants to be a more prepared citizen and I’ve found a ton of value in your content. Keep it coming!

Being the “Good Guy” is the road less travelled for a reason…. It’s hard and can get you killed for trifling reasons; Selfishness is a survivor instinct. But we should always strive to be the “good guy” and attempt to stave off becoming a monster.

Wow, this is one of the best topics I’ve seen on a prepping/ firearm channel.

I think this was the best preparedness video I have ever seen. Thank you!

I made the comment during a conversation yesterday about SHTF. My greatest strength today, will someday become my greatest weakness. Kindness.

Morality separates us from animals. Not to mention we all know that there’s always gonna be a chance for someone to get the drop on you or to overpower you. It pays to be nice so you have other good people watching your back.

“While everyone else is gonna be taking life I’m gonna be saving it. With the world so set on tearing itself apart it doesn’t seem like such a bad thing, to want to put a little bit of it back together” -Desmond Doss

It’s so freaking rad to see ture Godly wisdom in the preparedness conversation. You guys have been such a blessing to me. Thank you for all your hard work

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on KZfaq. You guys not only talked about SHTF and survival , but more IMPORTANTLY you talked about character and honor. Queen of battle Hooah !!

Fantastic video. I work in law enforcement and have a Mormon background. Not part of the religion any more, but the preparation upbringing has really tuned my preps, and enabled me to make contacts through work for that “security” portion, while preaching the importance of food/water/etc to some serious hitters. This video was immediately sent to those dudes. Keep it up fellas, we’re going to make it.

Always try to be a good guy until trouble forces you to do things you wouldn’t normally do. Don’t go out of your way to be a bad guy. Great video as always

Great video.👍 Keep up the great work guys. This information is deeply appreciated.

As a Army Vet and tactical/survivalist this video is awesome. Keep them coming because these videos give a realistic scenario of all the knowns and unknowns of what will happen if SHTF.

This is the best video you guys have made so far! I love flashy gun content don’t get me wrong but the need to address real deep topics and point out the blind spots we don’t want to deal with are the conversations we need to be having. Especially the lack of morality and brotherhood this world is facing. Thank you gentlemen you have a just impact on the world!

Thank you for doing this guys. It is much needed.

Good content guys- you are asking the right questions and finding answers on your own that we got in SOF training-we planned towards 3 outcomes for everything. I would encourage that contingency approach for all peeps🤙🏼🇺🇸

Bold of you to assume the government would be trying to keep order or keep chaos to a minimum. The government is the very reason we sit at the crossroads of such a crazy timeline.

Thank you for pushing back against amoral people who believe that they can do whatever they want. You reap what you sow! What comes around goes around.

A huge one people don’t realize: PEOPLE SKILLS, being charismatic and a good dude will go a long way

One of the best, if not THE best prepper videos I’ve ever seen on KZfaq. Thank you both for this. I’ve been speaking this message for decades. Having lived through my time in VN, oftentimes in combat situations, but working as a liaison to help others. Then either UNICEF carrying medicines on horseback into the mountains of war torn Central America. I don’t ever wish those things to be necessary in my own land, but I’m prepared and have tried to be an example. I’m saving this video to tell others thanks again.

People gotta remember what allowed us thrive as a species. "Apes together strong".

This is a really terrific video and I wish more people would make more content like this. You guys should do maybe a "once a month" special podcast episode called "Good Guy on a Bad Day" or something like that, getting into more detail about the topics you bring up here. For instance people tend to think "comms" mean exclusively "tactical comms" but just maintaining connectivity and minimizing isolation in a shitty situation goes a long way towards preventing bad behavior. The best thing most regular people can do is build enough trust in their immediate community that you can walk up to their doors and immediately be granted the benefit of the doubt that you are the "good guy on a bad day".

I totally agree with you guys. This was a great video. Thank you for sharing.

thanks for this video guys. it really made me start thinking about things i keep putting off. this is important and it really shows your character that you took the time to put this message together.

6:30 Nice Liberty gun safe. Hope you changed the locks lol

Ty , this conversation has become too common and honestly makes me wonder about people .

Can't wait to see all the gun guys who make this movie their whole persona

One thing to consider is trying to live without the need of some support systems. I went back to my old job because I can walk. It's not the only reason but when multiple parts of your vehicle break at once not needing to drive is nice

Thank you so much for this video. Being “prepared” and “armed” isn’t about being happy to kill your countrymen. It’s about protecting yourself and those around you who can’t protect themselves.

Also, I love this Channel. Really great advice. Most do not have this type of experience so it a service to help others prepare. Thanks.

Great topic. I too, are pissed with the attitude of (some) people who claim to be preppers. Their attitude and comments are counter productive when they think the only prep they will need is a gun. My primary prep is food production and storage. If shtf, my plan is to feed people and help rebuild. Marauders, bandits, thieves, and raiders will be composted.

Dang I'm only 15 minutes in but this is such a balanced conversation, great job guys and way to not fear monger.

Thank you for this video. I wish I could discuss this topic with you. I am a trauma surgeon and I have been in the US Army for 20 years. I served 3 combat tours in Afghanistan and I have seen countless violent injuries in civilians and military personnel. I have been an prepper for many years. One thing my experience has taught me is that no one will survive the collapse of society as an individual. Only those who are part of strong communities built on mutual benefit and trust will be able to survive. It does not matter how skilled a former Navy seal is. No one will be able to survive long based on a lifestyle of murder and theft. They might be able to keep it up for a little while, but their survival style will require that they are constantly on guard 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Also they will have no one else to share the labor of living with and ultimately they will be unable to meet all of their own needs for food, shelter, and security. Only a community will have the resources necessary to support ling term life. Justice in the collapse of society will be swift, and merciless. A thief, or especially a murderer will pay with their life when (not if) they are caught.

A great breakdown of how 'things' could happen and what to do when they do.

Community is the only way for long term survival. IMO. People with different backgrounds and skillsets.

I remember reading “Lord of the Flies” and although it’s fiction, it’s true in that people’s true nature comes out in times of hardship. If Americans aren’t willing to band together and support each other, if they are hell bent on being a “lone wolf” and are so combat focused they should be shunned as just another directionless person and treated as potential bad guy. History shows that only when like minded people band together that’s when great things (or bad things) happen, humans strength is in numbers there’s no disputing this fact and the truth is communities don’t have time for the knuckle heads who refuse this concept of banding together and creating a support network within the community. If a person is going around looking for trouble dressed and equipped like a Army Ranger just send them on their way ranger or not they won’t be around very long.

If anything like this happens to pass, which I personally hope will never happen, I'm going to try my best to continue to do what I need to to ensure my family survives but I refuse to be a thief and take whats not shared or given. I don't ever want to have to end someones life, but I know if I do it it'll be important to me that its not out of "i want what you have" and more, "I was willing to help, but you gave me no choice."

Agree to an extent that you don't need to rush out to get the things you need, but keep in mind things are going to be harder to get the longer you wait

"Our fellow countrymen." "My Fellow Americans" doesn't mean the same thing to everyone. When the lights go out, a lot of uniforms are going to look after their own, and I say this having been in public safety for 15 years. "Every man for himself, & God against all." Everything in this video is true. You have to make sacrifices today, so you don't have to make the choice between evil or being dead.

Vids like this are exactly whats missing from ALLLL the prepper/mil/homesteading/survival content in the interwebs! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Turn this into a series!!

I often think about that scene in "We Were Soldiers" when Mel Gibson's character Hal Moore asks his Gunnery Sergeant why he doesn't want to take a rifle into a combat and is happy with his 45. To which he responds with " if I need one there will be plenty laying on the ground". It's different for me over here in Australia, I compete in IPSC and shotgun comps, and also hunt...so realistically I'm statistically way more prepared in terms of firearms and proficiency with said firearms, however im also very conscious that I'm not an "operator" and if SHTF, we are all just about as stuffed as everyone else, we are so fortunate that we have zero grasp on real violence and war, and I pray that the world and our countries never get to that point.

This Video is very important, emphasis on NOT only about having a 72 hour Assault Pack, Plate Carrier / Chest Rig, War Belt , Helmet with tacked-on NVD ( Night Vision Device) and Scrimm Helmet Cover, and of course, AR-15 and Pistol. But what is important is making sure that food and water, 1st Aid Kit, a Vehicle, Shelter, etc .and et.al., is important as well.

Philosophically speaking, logically, ethically, this is the best video y'all have produced. I'm glad I watch your content and commend you for this.

Off subject but EXTREMELY important to spread the messages, hear me out. You guys need to make, sell and give away stickers... A lot of us are blue coller working men who use stickers to show others what we're about and it start conversations. We out them on hardhats, lunchboxes, workspace, tools and even trade them. Just a thought.
