Cowboy Survival
Добавлен 3 апр 2020
I am Richard @CowboySurvival. I am a guy with a lot of life experience and an interest in being prepared for unexpected events.
In March 2020, tornados hit a neighborhood less than 2 miles from my home, killing 19 people, including a close friend of mine. If that had been my neighborhood, I would have been totally unprepared to assist my neighbors during the time we would have waited for the emergency response teams.
When you prepare, whether it is a Go Bag, a Get Home Bag, or even a Home Fire Evacuation Plan, you will greatly enhance your family's chance of survival. Being prepared is always better than not being prepared, and it can be amazingly affordable and simple.
I hold a PhD in Business and have a lifetime of experience in the outdoors. My goal is to share what I have learned about life to an audience that also believes that true survival must address the mind and soul, as well as the body. My motto . . . Be Prepared!

I Leveled Up My Gordon Survival Knife!
I leveled up my Gordon Survival Knife after my earlier video on the same knife. Some of these things were my ideas, but others came from comments received from viewers of the first video. I believe that these new mods add utility to a knife that has limited utility out of the box. #harborfreight #survival #survivalknife #gordonKnife

Budget Alternative Tent to the Military TCOP
Просмотров 29721 час назад
This video will reveal the ultimate budget bug out tent. The Night Cat 1-2 man tent is a great option for budget-conscious preppers. I have included Amazon links below to some of the items demonstrated in this video. Though one school of thought is to get the "best" of everything, there is a practical reality to some of this stuff. You are not going to live in your tent for years . . . just a f...
The Ozark Trail Camp Stove You NEED! (at Walmart!)
Просмотров 7 тыс.14 дней назад
For the money, you need the Ozark Trail 4-in-1 Camp Stove. It may be the best buy on the market today for a budget cam stove. Small, lightweight, and powerful, it is a must for any backpacker. I have cooked numerous times with the Ozark Trail Camp Stove and I am convinced that it is reliable. It puts out a lot of heat and can boil water very quickly. In addition, a isobutane stove will allow yo...
Eat GREAT on the TRAIL!

Eat great on the trail! There is no reason to settle for mediocre pre-packaged food. Cooking trail beans can mean better trail nutrition. If you plan and learn some cooking skills, you can quickly become a gourmet trail chef. They are loaded with protein and other nutrients and can be cooked fairly easily. In dried form, they can keep almost indefinitely. #survival #limabeans #camping #campfood...
ActFire Poncho (Game Changer!)
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.21 день назад
The ActFire Poncho is a GAME CHANGER! The ActFire Poncho measures about 90" x 60". While it serves nicely as a poncho for an average-sized man (I am about 5'9"), it does leave about 8" of my arms exposed. As an emergency shelter, the ActFire Poncho is adequate, but not quite big enough for sleeping. Overall, it is a nice poncho. The ActFire Poncho is comparable to the Pteromy poncho in many res...

I bought one years ago and sharpened it and was impressed with how well it held an edge.
👍
Buy your dad a Vise, for Fathers Day .
@@davidboese5159 good idea, but he is 94. Last week he drilled his thumb.... literally. No telling what might happen if I got him a vise!
I wouldn't rely on a knife without a full tang. Schrade SCHF2SM Extreme Survival Hollow, maybe. Having your eggs or kit in one basket is a survival nightmare. If you lose your primary cutting tool you may have lost everything. Better to have the motto two is one one is none. Have redundancies in your kit. Falkniven F1,becker necker, victorinox ranger, fire steel , bic lighter, air piston with char cloth etc you get the idea and separate these in pockets in the field.
I like these because you can learn quite a bit about the equipment you need. On a personal note, If it aint a full tang, Im not gonna mess with it too much. I have seen what can happen with survival knives that arent. Although, I do have one or two of these. But only for looks, and yes, I take them out going fishing. My full tangs are for real survival issues. Thise go with me when I camp.
Seems like a missed opportunity with the paracord, consider connecting the other end of the paracord to the bottom (knife edge side) of the cross guard and doing a cobra braid to form a hand guard that also prevents you from losing the cap. Not sure that glue is the best way to attach that pouch, might have been better to sew it on with some hand stitching.
The adhesive that I used is an industrial adhesive. I have used it before and it is unusually strong. Like I said, I used it on a horse blanket the our horse had destroyed and he was never again able to damage that part of the blanket, so it MUST be good stuff! Thanks for watching!
The cobra braid is a good idea. I actually have a video planned to show how to tie that and the snake braid.
Rock Paper Scissors ✂️.... 🗡️ Cuts through 🧤 glove's.... causing a Bloody mess .....just sayin' folk's 😁
50% USELESS.... just sayin' folk's 😁
Put water in the cap to see if it works .COMPASS ….
My friends and I all used to have knives like these back in the day like 30 years ago or so. We used to strap them to our legs underneath our pants and hide them but we all carried knives everywhere we went. We just used them as tools and toys. They were all this Rambo style with the hollow handle and usually a compass or cap on the bottom that you could screw off. I used to keep a fire striker in mine!
Great ideas. Maybe try altering the saw teeth?
"Amazing upgrade"? Very repetitive and wordy.
Jankie
I don’t want to even say the name, I’ll be bombarded with spam adds from them
You have the compass too close to iron or steel.
No offense but wouldn't you be better served by a cold steel bushman? For $20 one piece of carbon steel and won't fall apart with use!
Awful lot of work on a junk product from the start to a different looking junk product
Very nice
Knife look good But it's still from harbor freight
Putting tape the edge of a blade before work goes miles to preventing injury.
That's a big improvement. Hopefully, the blade steel is good quality, and it doesn't snap. Harbor freight is known for what I call "disposable tools" nice mods. Thanks for sharing 🫡👍
now you need make a leather case!
I'm surprised you didn't wrap the handle in some cord that might be useful in the field. Then again, that might make the handle too thick for those who don't have giant gorilla mitts.
I could catch fish with that line and hook
Whe grown men are still 10 playing army, jesus.
Looks a lot like the Rambo knife I got as a graduation gift back in the 80’s. Might have to get one just because I like knives.
Based on what I learned recently, I am also going to duct tape a sail needle to the back of the sheath
I like that quarter roll idea.
A strike anywhere whose head has been dipped in fingernail polish ( not the water based kind) and you will a water proof match ! ♈⚓⚓♈
Those are some good deals!
Great mods for this knife. I also added a small flashlight to mine. Tacked on a 1 inch wide nylon strap and used the belt clip on the flashlight to hold it on. Thanks.
Great idea ! ♈⚓⚓♈
Even better if you get the $29.99 coupon, Harbor Freight had in their circular the other day. Love mine.
I just checked my Harbor Freight app and I have the coupon, too! It's a great deal at just $29.99!
Blade crafted from the finest Chinesium.
Has this guy done any handyman activities before? Not impressed with his workmanship or tool handling ability.
Nice!
Its Junk not even made to sell total Garbage !!!!
When you tap on to the link with Amazon the picture displayed is for the original cook-set. Frightened to order until it specifies the new model !
I will fix that first thing in the morning. I was positive I put the right link...thanks for the heads up.
Nice video man
Bought one of these a couple years ago and will definitely be modding it now. Thank you.
They didn’t sponsor you did they, Cletus?
@@ClaudeBohls nope....no sponsors for me. I have a friend who got 6 sponsorship offers out of the blue, but nothing for me. Not sure I would accept them anyway. Too much pressure and too many contractual obligations.
Exodus 21, Lividicus 25. You can buy slaves from the heathen around you, and beat them. Paul said to obey your cruel masters.
Sue this religious nutjob psychopath
I had to bail at 12:00=way too much chit chat not enough re-purposing~!!!! It's a Rambo Play knife anyway and NO survivalist would be caught dead with it in his or her rucksack~!!
Kool
$28 for the old set is outrageous! Everywhere I saw them for sale, they were $12-14.
I bought a few of these not for true survival but as for minor things. I also added a foam fish bobber, fishing string and hooks with strike anywhere matches. Will it last long No but it can be used.
How well does it strike a ferro rod?
Full tang knife and a bag with other stuffs, but, bigger the bag more stuffs you will carry…
My favorite knife is a Klein duct knife.
Cool mods .
