Good video! I’m only 15 but I want to be a prepper when I grow up and I’m trying to develop skills right now to prepare myself for possible SHTF situations
He is one of the guys you wanna be watching for sure. I've watched his stuff for years and it's made me more aware of my surroundings and gave me the freedom to plan ahead.
It's not so much a goal as it is a continually evolving mindset. By wanting to be, you're already there. The gear and skills tend to come with time and application. Just never stop learning and continuing to strive to be self sufficient. You got this.
You either are or you aren't. Parents be damned if I'm not planning routes, implementation of routines that help you with your edc, staying situationaly aware even when you're talking to that hot girl that walled by, keeping a proper load bearing ruck near by to stuff with shit for the season, water, food, learn as much as you can about growing/ raising food, learn to do construction like roofing and framing so you can learn to improvise shelter in a modern world. If you didn't start when you were 15, get to that shit. We need more informed and prepared individuals that aren't burdens.
BSS for the win on this one. As a man who spent many years romping through the Mtns of NY and CO and WY in all seasons/conditions, this video content should be numero Uno for anyone playing outside anywhere. This information is timeless.
@ Adam Reber,I wish the V.A. would treat us with appreciation. A veteran gets the go-around(same as being ignored). Or the Drs. butcher a veteran during surgery. Medication;impotent or a continuous prescription. Here's a word of Knowledge to Decern with;Ones Actions Prove Sincerity. Words have No Value now days. Sad but true.
Wool clothing always check goodwill or other thrift stores. I’ve found some good sweaters and pants just a few dollars. Great video and very important information
I've found a couple awesome wool blankets in local thrift stores, and a nice wool sweater. Among my other best finds is an external frame pack on the cheap and a legitimate milsurp e-tool for two bucks.
I swear by wool, preferably 100% but I'll settle for 70% if it's all that is available. Lowest will use is 50% if desperate. My next choice is fleece with polypro.
Excellent video. Have practiced this for nearly 45 years. Clothing is everything. Cotton and shade (headwear) for summer and poly/wool layered for winter...subscribed
I’m glad you’re actually covering the importance of survival clothing. Most so called “survival experts” don’t leaving too many people ignorant. Well done.
I spend some of my free time riding Harley's all over the place with my buddies and the best waterproof stuff is made by Harley... they're not cheap but last a long time and you will definitely stay dry
Agreed fully friend. Harley rider myself. They have strong durable products. I personally feel like they invent their lines to be sturdy and hold up to far more than hiking gear or outdoor because riders will wear items to the bone and on the road. Mainly though that our gear is our life and safety. Harley gear hands down. It’s multi purpose and it’s made to help you survive w consciousness to get through whatever the situation.
Than you for covering this very important topic.....this is a subject that most dont think about until confronted with the need and at that point it is too late! ....the point here is to plan ahead! ....I have been useing these layering techniques for years and it definately works and can save your life! ......Im a fan of your chanel, keep em coming!
Just one minute in and I immediately rank you above everyone else. I have never heard anyone besides myself pronounce hyperthermia and hypothermia with their correct correspondences. Thank you.
Living & hunting in Michigan, I have perfected my cold weather gear. Two pair socks, light pair wool boot socks, second pair heavy wool with my rocky 1500 gram thinsulate water proof boots. Light flannel pants and light cotton long sleeve shirt under sweat shirt. All under my outer hunting pants and coat witch are water proof, wind proof Gortex and a thinsulate layer & a quite layer on the outside....Duck hunting gear is best. Sounds like a lot but can move and walk for miles. Can sit in the woods all day long in freezing temps....Actually I don’t think I would freeze buried in snow all night long. Haven’t been cold in years, since I figured it all out. Like Jack said the key is wind proof & water proof (breathable) with a insulating layer.
For a cheap option for keeping wind and water out I have a German army surplus gortex jacket that I use. Had it for a few years now and have used it a lot. It’s still in really good shape for being used and 22 yrs old. I think I picked it up online for around $40. I run my base layer, fleece and then my gortex. Keeps me pretty warm. Now gortex doesn’t breath so you really have to regulate your body temp. It fits real nice in my pack too.
Informative video but would like to see a video breaking down preparation even further. I don’t feel physically most are prepared for very much hardship. I’d stress to folks the importance of being physically and mentally fit as well as getting a complete work up on their physical shape. I wonder how many have been to a dentist? Had a physical? What sort of medication are they on? Could they survive without it? Anyway, great video, keep up the good work.
When it comes to layering go to wiggys web site and read what he has to say. His clothing, bags, etc keep you warm reliably. He's opinionated but very experienced. I have one of his bags and can attest to its warmth. There are other videos where people test his stuff. Check them out and treat yourself to some warm clothing.
I have done a few zero - 10 Degrees camping trips but mostly camp in the 🌵 Desert and have learned how to survive in the heat, honestly I prefer the cold.
That’s funny I was just reading about this in the Craig Caudill extreme wilderness survival book. Which is a great book with a lot of good information. That’s one of the things he stresses a lot about. Which I agree 100%! I work outside for a living so what I wear is very important throughout the day summer and winter. I just receive my survival kit and it’s awesome jack. Very well made and great quality gear like always. Thanks again and this a important/great video.
Hello and great video. I am new here but I thought I would add to this list of options. Silk is a very warm and very strong cloth. I know a lot of guys may poohoo at wearing it, considering it to be girlish, but trust me it works. I live in an area that can be high 60s during the day and 20s by nightfall. Out splitting wood all day and you start sweating so you peel of layers, but within an hour the temperature can drop by more that 30 degrees. Now silk does not breathe like some materials but it dries super fast, another thing to consider. Wool is a great insulator but I am allergic to most blends. A silk undershirt prevents the hives and in a bad situation thats the last thing you need lol.
Everything you say makes sense. One layer system you miss, probably because its considered old fashioned, is the Fibre Pile/Pertex as done by Buffalo Systems. It was the first softshell, though that term has now been highjacked. Synthetic, hard wearing, true pile, it works both next to the skin and as a mid layer. One of the few pieces of clothing that can be worked from soaked to dry; as it works thermally even when wet; just wring it out and keep going. For my sins I'm a smoker and when working always run hot; read sweat like a pig. Fibre pile works even when steaming. I've often binned my sweaty wet through undershirt and put the pile next to the skin to warm up. Sure there are sexier new stuff on the block, but this old system still works better than most things out there IMHO. I like a full zip on mid layers as opening up and giving a full vent shake out can rid a whole of lot of moisture build up in one go. Better than leaving it in there. Just like changing that wet shirt to dry once stopped. Its all moisture management. Get that wet off your back once you have stopped working. The wet back you get from carrying a bergen. The big mistake is to think you can get away from changing to dry; always best done before the shivers start. Once the shivers set in thats too late. Anyhow, enjoys your vids, keep them coming. ATB
Great video. I’ve lived in Colorado, Ohio & Germany. What I like for snow is a good shell with self sealing pit zips for ventilation and relatively long zipper pulls so you don’t have to remove your gloves to zip or unzip your pockets, hood, pit zips, etc.
Thank you. Great video. This one's super-concentrated vital information that can be recalled decades later - especially when someone articulate (unlike my just-waking brain comment here) and engaging is delivering the acronym's explanation.
Thanks to you and the SAR guy who shared that gem. I'm a vol. S&R CERT member and I've never heard that before. I know the principle, but the "4 W's" really drives the point home for newbies/neophytes... Thanks again, man. Priceless.....
Thanks for all the great diffensive knowledge you put out brotherman. I heard you helped designed the Wowtac A1S BSS V2 flashlight. I bought one. I like it alot, I would like it to have a option to go straight into the turbo or strobe option for better self defense
Funny, I just got all but the fleece parts of this system.....Got a first lite Chama for Christmas and a Marmot rain jacket, like the Mt hardwear one. And added an second Chama and socks in merino(sales are awesome! And we also got new soft shells in max 1....getting ready for next September :0) piece by piece man:0) all our hunting gear translates to survival. Great video as always Jack!
Excellent information as usual. If for some reason you are doing some sort of heavy work or moving be careful not to over heat even in cold weather its possible to become a heat casualty. Drink plenty of fluids. If you are going to carry a military poncho try for one of the older styles pre 1980's. They are slightly heavier and thicker but overall worth the weight if you can find one in good condition.
No doubt. I'll personally take 40 or 50 layers (slight exaggeration here, but still...), over just two, even if the 40 or 50 layers aren't as warm overall as the single shirt plus one 15 pound, ultra-warm coat. That is the mistake I see almost as often from young guys, along with the wearing of cotton.
Great video Jack have you ever tried any of the Canada Goose gear? I have 2 Different styles a thigh length parka resolute is the model rated to -60 and a waist level bomber style he Constance rated to -40 have the matching goose down mittens and merino wool cap never had a problem being outside in -50 weather
I went with 2 fleeces of different weights to give more options. Some times one or the other, sometimes both. Though I buy up the wool milsurp sweaters when I can get them. I find my body regulates temp itself much better in wool. Ice-breaker base layer, wool sweater, merino socks.
I agree that layering is most important. What you showed is good while active, at rest having a breathable escape bivy to hold heat is a good light weight option.
This is about what no one will teach anyone. No one comes to The Father except through Jesus Christ. So it is very important to know who Jesus Christ is. Jesus is The Son of God. In John 1 we are told Jesus is The Word. He is The Word God spoke, wrote, and made flesh. He is The Ten Commandments, our Trinity. He is also The Christ, the anointed. He, like His Father anointed His followers with His Word, The Sermon on the Mount. We observe Deut. 6:8-9 as well, we 'keep' the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. Bind them and "keep" them on you and yours at all times. Set your gates and allow your faith in Jesus Christ to help protect you and yours. To dwell in both anointings we will be truly blessed. To have the law and testimony is what we need to stand in The Lord's Day. Faith without works is dead. Always K.J.V. we are going to need The King. Hold on to Truth, cling to it. One doesn't have to stock pile Bibles, they need to print the words from the mouth of The Father (Ten Commandments) and The Son (Sermon on the Mount). Bind them and have them ready to apply. Make it so many will have the law and testimony. Children only need the testimony. Truth and grace, love and mercy is found in Jesus Christ. As Paul would say, "Put on Jesus"! May the mortal, put on the immortality. It will be both a physical and spiritual war, prepare for both if you can, and may Jesus be with us all.
Are you a heavy sleeper? One item preppers overlook is a battery operated motion detector. Gotta sleep and nite is when democrats come a sneaking. Amazon sells them for $16. My cold weather tip is DRY SOCKS. Feet sweat, wool socks or not. Korean vets swapped out socks and kept them next to chest skin to dry out.
Hello.i want to ask...when you patrolling at mountain enviroment...you walk and walk and walk with your stuff(bob...etc)and you have on you the plate carrier...which has no good circulation...how is the layer model be conducted??thank you in advance..
Am a consulting forester that's outside a good bit. That minus 33 is some good kit. Great vid Got sleet/rained on today cruising 60 acres had to zip unzip as I went from climbing up to going down. 4 W's is a great way to remember what to wear
Lol. Next time you bug out. Let me know how heavy all that clothing is. Here is some common knowledge for you. Learn to stay dry. If you get wet in winter, it could freeze and kill you. Getting wet in humid environments can cuase sickness. Thats bad in a shtf senerio. Get wet in desert areas isn't to horrible but you want to avoid to much sweating. Dehydration would be your enemy there as well. Best gear you could carry to help prevent this is a good moisture wicking coat and a canteen and some form to collect or keep near water.
Karl over at Tactical Rifleman brought up the use of leg gators. I haven't used them in conjunction with a poncho but it seems like the breathability would be better than full length gore-tex bottoms.
Wool has one other good property, but this is for active duty military in a war zone. Wool wont burn if hit by a incendiary round. But when its hot out, cotton has its place, and it dries fast.
Could you help make me a all-around bug out bag the house is a mile from work the camp is about 45 minutes different routes just asking north fla Jefferson county I have a disability bad leg really my whole right side help me not to waste money
Can anyone answer something for me? Do you always want a synthetic t-shirt or do you ever want or is there a reason to have a cotton shirt and not just replace it with a synthetic one? Or one of each? Any feedback would be appreciated thanks. A hiking tip a friend taught me is that cotton kills and that stuck with me, the thing being is that if cotton clothing gets wet it takes a long time to dry compared to synthetic clothing which is what you dont want while hiking aswell you run the risk of getting hypothermia when in the mountains and cotton just stays wet and weighs you down. I learned my lesson once while on a mountain climbing trip i wore a pair of cotton carharrt jeans just because i didnt have my own pair of synthetic hiking pants and ofcourse i got wet and it was horribly uncomfortable but luckily i had packed a pair of hiking pants in my pack my friend leant me just in case and i changed while in the mountains, much much better. Im really just curious about the t shirt aspect though because ive worn both while hiking, is there any useful purpose for a cotton tee?
I'm now 64 yrs. young and have used merino wool for 50 yrs. of that time. When I was about 24 while on a rock climbing trip in southern Illinois I ran across another group doing the same. One of that group shared that his base layer was fishnet style long johns and top. It kept his merino wool top and bottoms just a bit away from his body and worked like a wick to draw the sweat away from his body and keeping him that much more dry. Long story but I purchased a set of the fishnet under layer. I tried them out cross country skiing and it was amazing how well that worked out! Give it a try if you can find a set these days. As always another great video and many thanks for sharing!

not highly relevant to tropical and humid countries. really finding it difficult to find a prepper video where survival blankets are not needed along with other stuff for colder climates.
Ephers Just because you live in a warmer climate doesn’t mean you should completely disregard the importance of cold weather gear. Obviously prepare for the most likely scenarios, but don’t only prepare for them. Same as this SARS-CoV-2 situation. It wasn’t the most likely thing to happen to you, but it still did. Always be one step ahead of everything. Edit: And it’s not just with cold weather gear. Something you think you’ll never use, could be extremely useful someday.
My dad got lost hunting in Maine back in 50's. Heard stories from him. Can't afford a lot of that but wool and fleece is good.

If you learn and prepare, you ARE a prepper right now! no matter how old you are!
It's not so much a goal as it is a continually evolving mindset.

Don’t need to grow up to be prepared, the more you learn now the better, good luck to bud and stay vigilant

Proper clothing is in my opinion one of the most important pieces of the survival gear wheel. It's also one of the easiest to overlook.
One of our channels at our camp in Russia was AFRTS and they ALWAYS inserted a hypothermia PSA in place of commercials, along with OPSEC awareness.

Excellent information as usual.
If for some reason you are doing some sort of heavy work or moving be careful not to over heat even in cold weather its possible to become a heat casualty. Drink plenty of fluids.
If you are going to carry a military poncho try for one of the older styles pre 1980's. They are slightly heavier and thicker but overall worth the weight if you can find one in good condition.
No doubt. I'll personally take 40 or 50 layers (slight exaggeration here, but still...), over just two, even if the 40 or 50 layers aren't as warm overall as the single shirt plus one 15 pound, ultra-warm coat. That is the mistake I see almost as often from young guys, along with the wearing of cotton.
Great video Jack have you ever tried any of the Canada Goose gear? I have 2 Different styles a thigh length parka resolute is the model rated to -60 and a waist level bomber style he Constance rated to -40 have the matching goose down mittens and merino wool cap never had a problem being outside in -50 weather
I went with 2 fleeces of different weights to give more options. Some times one or the other, sometimes both. Though I buy up the wool milsurp sweaters when I can get them.
I find my body regulates temp itself much better in wool. Ice-breaker base layer, wool sweater, merino socks.
Thanks for the video Jack. My winter layering is military Poly pros wicky, fleece warmie, and Gortex windy and wetty.
I cannot operat without cotten next to skin and I only use two layers. cotten tee shirt then
one warm outer jacket. one extra layer if below - 20 C
These days you can get wool t shirts and underwear so layering up is much easier.
A good wool hat is what is harder to find.
If I'm not mistaken Carhart and Magellan produce wool watch caps.
Fredrick Rourk Duluth Trading has some wool hats. They have good stuff for all kinds of conditions. They are my favorite now, after Under Armour.
Try Icebreaker hats expensive but they come in Merino wool
I agree that layering is most important. What you showed is good while active, at rest having a breathable escape bivy to hold heat is a good light weight option.
Good video, good on sharing and breaking it down for my family who are just learning these basics!
This is about what no one will teach anyone. No one comes to The Father except through Jesus Christ. So it is very important to know who Jesus Christ is. Jesus is The Son of God. In John 1 we are told Jesus is The Word. He is The Word God spoke, wrote, and made flesh. He is The Ten Commandments, our Trinity.
He is also The Christ, the anointed. He, like His Father anointed His followers with His Word, The Sermon on the Mount.
We observe Deut. 6:8-9 as well, we 'keep' the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. Bind them and "keep" them on you and yours at all times. Set your gates and allow your faith in Jesus Christ to help protect you and yours. To dwell in both anointings we will be truly blessed. To have the law and testimony is what we need to stand in The Lord's Day. Faith without works is dead. Always K.J.V. we are going to need The King. Hold on to Truth, cling to it.
One doesn't have to stock pile Bibles, they need to print the words from the mouth of The Father (Ten Commandments) and The Son (Sermon on the Mount). Bind them and have them ready to apply. Make it so many will have the law and testimony. Children only need the testimony. Truth and grace, love and mercy is found in Jesus Christ. As Paul would say, "Put on Jesus"! May the mortal, put on the immortality. It will be both a physical and spiritual war, prepare for both if you can, and may Jesus be with us all.
Are you a heavy sleeper? One item preppers overlook is a battery operated motion detector. Gotta sleep and nite is when democrats come a sneaking. Amazon sells them for $16. My cold weather tip is DRY SOCKS. Feet sweat, wool socks or not. Korean vets swapped out socks and kept them next to chest skin to dry out.
Hello.i want to ask...when you patrolling at mountain enviroment...you walk and walk and walk with your stuff(bob...etc)and you have on you the plate carrier...which has no good circulation...how is the layer model be conducted??thank you in advance..
another good tool/Method/map is Grammar/Knowledge=Who/What/Where/When=Logic/Understanding=Why=Rhetoric/Wisdom=How.
Am a consulting forester that's outside a good bit. That minus 33 is some good kit. Great vid Got sleet/rained on today cruising 60 acres had to zip unzip as I went from climbing up to going down. 4 W's is a great way to remember what to wear
Wool is also very quiet in the brush when hunting. Polar fleece is quite but doesn't have as good of water proof as wool.
Lol. Next time you bug out. Let me know how heavy all that clothing is. Here is some common knowledge for you. Learn to stay dry. If you get wet in winter, it could freeze and kill you. Getting wet in humid environments can cuase sickness. Thats bad in a shtf senerio. Get wet in desert areas isn't to horrible but you want to avoid to much sweating. Dehydration would be your enemy there as well. Best gear you could carry to help prevent this is a good moisture wicking coat and a canteen and some form to collect or keep near water.
The pope announced that all catholics must obey the UN. View RemnantTV 1/4/21. Is something up?
Excellent Content!! Thanks for SHARING!!! Have a good one!!! SEMPER Fi..still have my wooly pulley!!!
Hahaha. Me too. Thanks brother
Karl over at Tactical Rifleman brought up the use of leg gators. I haven't used them in conjunction with a poncho but it seems like the breathability would be better than full length gore-tex bottoms.
Wool has one other good property, but this is for active duty military in a war zone. Wool wont burn if hit by a incendiary round. But when its hot out, cotton has its place, and it dries fast.
They reason why hikers say "cotton kills" is specifically because it does not dry fast.
Could you help make me a all-around bug out bag the house is a mile from work the camp is about 45 minutes different routes just asking north fla Jefferson county I have a disability bad leg really my whole right side help me not to waste money
Can anyone answer something for me? Do you always want a synthetic t-shirt or do you ever want or is there a reason to have a cotton shirt and not just replace it with a synthetic one? Or one of each? Any feedback would be appreciated thanks. A hiking tip a friend taught me is that cotton kills and that stuck with me, the thing being is that if cotton clothing gets wet it takes a long time to dry compared to synthetic clothing which is what you dont want while hiking aswell you run the risk of getting hypothermia when in the mountains and cotton just stays wet and weighs you down. I learned my lesson once while on a mountain climbing trip i wore a pair of cotton carharrt jeans just because i didnt have my own pair of synthetic hiking pants and ofcourse i got wet and it was horribly uncomfortable but luckily i had packed a pair of hiking pants in my pack my friend leant me just in case and i changed while in the mountains, much much better. Im really just curious about the t shirt aspect though because ive worn both while hiking, is there any useful purpose for a cotton tee?
Good video. You do an excellent job. Thank
you. In Alaska a saying is, “cotton kills.”
This survival technique doesn’t apply to me. Live in Florida, so you already know lol
Good discussion on layers and clothing options. Thanks.
Thanks for serving Marine. Love your channel your one of the reasons i started mine it’s not much right now but I will continue building
If you get lost. Stay in place and light a fire. If you keep walking you will get more lost. Watch the Sun
Great information. Thank you for taking the time to teach us. I always learn something new.
I think its about 80% of heat loss is your head.dont forget your hat options.
You will be miserable no matter what you wear without one
I worked in a warehouse while in college. I learned how to layer my clothing, valuable skills that last a lifetime!
The best thing is to wait till better weather as far mounting a offensive. Been in cold weather in the Military and frankly it sucks.
A good basic informative video about dressing for the outdoors. Love it! Thanks.
Salt. That's actually the undiscussed topic for survival
Adam Huber
Salt and no-salt. Sodium and potassium.
I'm now 64 yrs. young and have used merino wool for 50 yrs. of that time. When I was about 24 while on a rock climbing trip in southern Illinois I ran across another group doing the same. One of that group shared that his base layer was fishnet style long johns and top. It kept his merino wool top and bottoms just a bit away from his body and worked like a wick to draw the sweat away from his body and keeping him that much more dry. Long story but I purchased a set of the fishnet under layer. I tried them out cross country skiing and it was amazing how well that worked out! Give it a try if you can find a set these days. As always another great video and many thanks for sharing!
Not the woman but the dish washer liquid. Hygiene and oil stone will work with it and its phosphate is a good fertiliser
I talk about it, watch my video on clothing for SHTF.
I ain't got a quarrel with that survivalist but its about heavier coatails with trinkets to pay that bobby to facilitate the transfer
I NEED WEAPON TO FIGHT I LIVE IN SMALL TOWN MEDORA IND THERE HILLS PLACES TO CATCH THEM BY SUPRISE HIDE THOSE THAT NEEDS IT I RUN UP DOWN THESE HILLS KNOW PLACES HELL GOT FORT IN TOWN CLOSE BY US REAL ONE
Ice fishing cold or rabbit hunting cold you know what I mean
Those frog togs are a quieter rain jacket and affordable.
100% clickbait title, left thumbs up vote
I have yet to see a survival kit with toilet paper in it. Is even more expensive to wipe with wool :)
Excellent video(s). Thank you
A" Shemagh"and "farm to feet " socks ....and great hat and good boots... great info.... thanks
Still using my wool's from USN
Wool is awesome!
Boring! That's why no one talks about it. We need more zombie apocalypse videos!
Seriously though, good subject matter. Keep up the good work.
great video clothing and layering are the most importent thing and few people talk about it
I wonder why he did not suggest or mention poly propylene?
WW1 soldiers had long wool overcoats. They knew
I think loden wool coats were very common back then used by many people.
I love the videos when he's outside showing us stuff.
not highly relevant to tropical and humid countries. really finding it difficult to find a prepper video where survival blankets are not needed along with other stuff for colder climates.
Ephers Just because you live in a warmer climate doesn’t mean you should completely disregard the importance of cold weather gear. Obviously prepare for the most likely scenarios, but don’t only prepare for them. Same as this SARS-CoV-2 situation. It wasn’t the most likely thing to happen to you, but it still did. Always be one step ahead of everything.
Edit: And it’s not just with cold weather gear. Something you think you’ll never use, could be extremely useful someday.
Good info and video. Semper Fi brother.
First comment. Love your videos man
Travis Ford not gonna lie i was hoping to get the first. Oh well
Thank you
