There are alot of guys like me that were just regular guys. I'm a musician /machinist. Covid woke me up big time I said no to the mask and refused to spend my hard earned money anywhere that made me wear a mask. I refused to get the shot. It got me into training harder in the gym and stocked up on ammo,water, food, and started training seriously. I want to be as ready as possible. I see where we are headed now.

Forgot to add that Rommel was back home on vacation.

We fought The Wrong Enemy

That’s why every obstacle needs overwatch

That's why Illegal immigrants are laughing at the thought of Trump's wall .... they can dig holes and climb.

Just 15 miles from where i life.

What is this American obsession with SHTF apocalypse anyways?

Once cell towers go down, these go down too.

The flip lid will break off pretty soon but the battery still holds charges after 2 years now. Ive had it in extreme heat and cold.

In the New World, you better respect my rights. I don’t give a fuck who you’re with.

▪︎ Approximately nine out of ten Allied soldiers killed in WWII were Russian. ▪︎ Approximately nine out of ten German soldiers killed in WWII were killed by Russians.

Just going to put this out there. Guys in Ukraine have anywhere from 3-15 magazines and anywhere from 150-600 rounds on person in total. With whatever is not on the chest in the backpack or pockets, and whatever can not be loaded into mags, on strippers with a spoon ready to go if possible. The variance is completely based on what you can get and where you are getting it from. Which includes, getting it from the enemy. Take that for what you will.

NGL the ultimate vet-drip is the sand/coyote brown/ whatever fucking earth colored Tshirt they issue us being used as a regular junk/gym/yardwork/i can't be bothered to be a normal person shirt is a total vet vibe. I've got more of these than I know what to do with, and that's after I chopped up all the lighter ones as rags for cleaning/inspection of things. That's not including the 15 million worn out OCP pants I have turned parts of into everything from scrim to even more rags, including some "hot grabbers" made out of 6 layers of combat trousers I stappled together for grabbing *non-food/non-medical will burn your skin off right away thing here*. FYI what makes a great paint/glass/metal cleaning/polishing rag is worn out tees that aren't contaminated with oil (since it'll fuck with the detergent in your cleaner). Like the been washed around 300 times with whatever soap you can get at the BX or whatever while deployed. Used them all the time for cleaning/inspecting aircraft cables, and thanks to having no loose fibers left but no contamination, they'd soak up all the grease, but leave no threads behind so you'd have nothing but bare metal to look at under a scope.

IF You're a 73 Yr Old Vietnam Era Vet, Like Me - Better Get Medically Checked Out ✅ First.

Adapt, Overcome, And Improvise.

If we do not stand up from a state level down, there no hope.

Blades on a tank and you got a skid steer, trackhoe.

Products made in China, Vietnam, Italy, Portugal etc. the stuff is quality. And frankly that ain’t very expensive.

I’m not “bugging out”. I’m staying put. I know every inch of my property. Caches. Cashes. Cashes. Having hidden caves on your land is a blessing! Know your home base!!

How do you manage away from your family?¿?

“Meth head” at the end😂😂

Most of us will become whatever circumstances force us to be.

Everyone can do something. Everyone can improve.

Germans feared the eastern front and the Russian's not the Americans

😂😂😂

This is incredibly medieval. It's like building a siege structure, or moving BUCKETS of dirt !

HOA's are for KARENS and those scrotums who identify as Karens.

The Atlantic Wall was just as effective as the Maginot Line

Ankle pocket were good for 2 things 1. Your medic gloves when kneeling down to give first aid and 2 toilet paper i.e. sh*t sticks for when your pants are down and that's the only pocket you can get to when squatting over a cat hole. (Sealed in zip lok baggies)

“Stop us in our tracks”…good pun!

Have an uncle who is veitnam vet. Told me before I enlisted that they were to dig in before racking out. He woke up as the only survivor because he was only guy to dig sleeping position. Listen to your elders.

I've never understood the point of the calf pockets, most I've heard is a place for smokes.

An army can stand behind 100 walls but the enemy only needs to breach one.

Like Gen Patton said " We fought the wrong enemy. "

Two wings of the same bird!

I am a 10 year vet never did any deployments, I was combat adjacent but I took the Mantra of every soldier's a riflemen to heart. Never was a 300 pt stud but I knew I could move in full kit effectively, short or long distances. I trained strength and my endurance was running with a weighted vest.. worked for me but I have no imagination when it comes to working out so I talk alot from these videos. Stay safe everyone

Excellent information, caught your interview with Rip on his podcast 👍💪

What's this garbage ass ASMR commercial

You know NOTHING about Fjällräven and the quality. Sorry to say this, 99%v of ALL outdoor gear is made in China now. The factories are WAY better! This is the worst video on youtube! Literally! That was the wind jacket and not meant to be waterproof! Look at Arcteryx.. made in China and way more $$$.

This is a really lame review. You're totally missing the point, I mean, completely. These radios use every cell service provider across the country, which gives you remarkable coverage. If one cell network goes down, you can use an adjacent cell network. There is no roaming cost as with a cell phone either. These are useful when a traditional cell network is overloaded in the case of emergency, and these can bounce off other networks. The main use case here is private comms with loved ones and/or groups of people. These work in areas where traditional cell phones don't, such as the desert. These are terrific backups to cell phones. If you want anywhere coverage, buy a Sat phone, but beware there are limitations there, too.

Buddy, this IS a radio. It's a private LTE radio that can be used to talk to 1 or more groups or even anyone on the Rapid Radio network. Technically, it's a radio in every sense of the word.

Glad someone said it. Survival is more about skills and training but man do people underestimate what they should do before they go into environments they are seldom a part of. Thanks for helping the strays.

And Canadians and the Brits French Pols…

Im 70 and still enjoy camping in the winter. My limit is around -20, but It was somewhat of a crisis. Carry on Grunt
