Great stuff! Thanks Randy and Karl. A small chainsaw is handy if you have room for it. I got pinned between two trees when I got caught driving in the path of a tornado. I had to clear the road myself to get traffic moving again.
With a background as this gentleman's, he's got every scenario covered. I'd definitely like to have him driving by if I'm ever in a bind. Well done. Thank you for sharing both video, knowledge and personal load out.
kinda late, but WAAAAY to many people or shitting on this video. its a very nice overview of practical equipment to manage any practical task in a backwoods environment. someone rolls a car, falls off a cliff while hiking, clearing paths, fixing minor vehicle breakdowns, getting stranded in the wood for whatever reason, he has the equipment to handle it. He's also not here to tell you what you need, because he doesn't know what you need for your environment, potential situation, etc. He's just here to give you an idea of what you might need, and what a potential use for it is.
When you have the option of using either a shovel, or a spade, you're not building an emergency survival kit, you're moving your garage into your vehicle.
Depends on the threat. With the mud down here in the south? Having a shovel isn't a bad idea if you're often in back country roads or having to travel on the many dirt/gravel roads we have in the rural side. It all depends on your threats and needs. If you never leave the pavement, you're right, it's not necessary. Out here in the country? It's a very reasonable tool to toss in the back of a truck.
@@gibletsiam9704 You might want to read my post a little closer. There was nothing in it about a shovel being an unreasonable thing to put in the back of a truck.
@@jeffreytackett3922 Ah, I'm tracking now. Yeah, he does have quite a bit of excess in this overview. I think my statement still stands true though. Tailor your gear to your needs. If you find a need to have both (Personally I carry an e-tool at all times in the back of my cab, and I'll throw a full shovel in the bed if I'm going out on some back roads that I know may be messy.), go for it, if you don't need a digging tool at all, don't carry one. It's definitely the advantage to trucks. They're very versatile and have a lot of capacity to carry a bunch of gear depending on what you're setting it up for. I want to setup my extended cab pickup for emergencies to get my family out of dodge or to help others with it by clearing roads, bringing in supplies, or helping people ex-fil in the event of flooding, roads blocked by fallen trees, etc.
Another great video guys. One thing I would add, if I may, for any vehicle is to replace all belts and hoses when you purchase it and put the old hoses and belts, and tools used to replace them, in a bag for the trunk for backups. Same for all fuses and relays. Also having a pair of panty hose that you can wrap around your air cleaner when going through a heavily smoke, ash, of fallout area can help in a pinch. Love the vids guys, keep em coming!
Two rifles, two shovels (spade, whatever), a bunch of candles and matches but no regular lighters, two saws, a machete, an ax, a hatchet, AND a "tree trimmer"... You get the idea. Having one of each would make some sense if you live out in the country or something, but there is no way all that backup to a backup stuff is practical to have all the time even if you end up using all of it at some point. It's fine if you like the prepping thing and using different gear all the time, but be honest with yourself while you do it. The only time any of that very extra stuff becomes worth bringing is when you know you will likely use it, and that's when you can just bring it when you need it. It just gets in the way otherwise.
His communication skills combined with his inability to articulate what each item is and the thought process behind why he included the item makes this video subpar. I have no doubt he is more than capable in an emergency situation.
I wonder how bad the gas mileage is on that truck. Theres a fine line between being prepared with some basic medical and survival supplies and putting everything you own but the kitchen sink into your car.
the weight he's adding to the truck sucks gas mileage. The tool box isn't affecting it air flow wise. But every pound you add to your vehicle is adding to worse gas mileage.
As a US Army Veteran, Bushman growing up in the wilds of the Yukon & a custom leather/saddle maker (Beaver Mountain Works). I suggest all your axe & hatchet covers that you make or have made use these 4 designs. #1: Be made of a leather thick enough for the size of the tool. ie. hatchet a 5 to 7 oz & axes 7-9 oz. This helps support the tool & falls into the next design issue. #2: Have a closure system that opens up & moves out of the way while you take the cover off the blade. Most accidents to a rescuer, happen in stressful situations when opening up,a tool to use. you can see in the above video when he was taking the covers off, how close his fingers got to the very sharp blades because, the closure flap kept the cover from sliding down with resistance from the closure. #3: Make the cover with a gusset at the blade end. This protects the shape blade with steel to leather. Protects the stitching & rivets. (gusset should be 1/2" wide & at least a 10oz & I recommend hand stitched) Also it helps in the extraction of the tool from the cover. #4: Have a connection loop like a belt loop or a D ring attached on the cover. this gives you the ability to carry or attach the tool without restrictions when taking the tool out of the cover, while connected to a carrying devise. You can make these covers easy yourself. Remember if it don't function in the bush why have it, dead men ain't winning a beauty contest.
the video needs more structure. Good idea but I hear him saying "I'm not going to get into that" too much. If you are going to do something do it right.
I disagree. Most of that stuff i knew what the detailed breakdown was, i just wanted to know what he had. From that information just take notes and do your own further research.
great video. Made me rethink my entire truck situation, and I watched the war belt and the bullet vest videos by the guy on the left side? and those were super great too. thanks guys, very valuable information.
nice video..1 piece of gear i got my wife is a portable jump starter super light easy to use and its got plugs for charging your phone and even a small air pump for flats...i got it for my wife but i throw it into the truck when i go to the woods.
Vehicle maintenance advice from a guy who’s own maintenance schedule and mechanical ability let’s his axle bearings are not only fail, but fail to the point of igniting the high temperature lubricant. Seems like a good idea🤣
For those wondering the ".22 rifle system" at 8:53 is a Henry AR-7 Survival Rifle, originally designed in '57 and Henry still manufactures them today. Very cool system.
Nice kit it's worth keeping JB weld,radiator fluid,flares,motor oil,food,water,gas,chainsaw,playing cards,small tent,to much to name all my kit in my tool box is huge,oh and never forget old army wool blankets they work great!
Don't know why so many are critical to the fact Mr Wurst doesn't want to expand on all these items? This is a brief overview, what do you expect? Great video by what appear to be very competent men, and Green Berets! Be grateful for the free tips and advice A-Holes!!
Just wondering why that out of all of the videos that I have watched no one has mentioned a compass. I would think that should be part of any "bug out" setup.
Nich, go out to and actually get some basic orienteering skills. Tell me again how a compass alone will help me in a desert or a forest where I have no distinguishable landmarks or terrain to work with. A compass tells you direction, magnetic north. That is is it. You need a map to even get the magnetic declination, or at least landmarks to understand where you are relative to everything else. Aaron, certainty if you know the area a compass and landmarks are all you need, but in most cases we use these skills in an area that is foreign to us. Not to mention things change subtlety which can affect how we perceive landmarks even if just a year ago we went through safely. If I had to pack one thing, a map is what I value most because I can develop my own landmarks and get my relative bearings. A rough compass can be improvised as needed.
Mountain Dew. Most people do not use a compass. GPS are cheap and pretty reliable. However a GPS is like an optic on our rifle. It is an aid not a crutch. If the GPS dies or the signal is otherwise blocked, we have to revert to the fundamentals and that involves a map, compass, and pacebeads.
No compass,gps,tire plug kit,backup power bank for cell phone,radios,jerry cans of fuel,car battery charger,no quality lights/batteries,junk firearms,no handgun which a concealable firearm is more desirable in some situations.a g19 with light and extra g18 mags (loaded) is much better than the kel tec 22mag.most of your items aren’t emergency at all.its more of homestead type tools.most of that crap you can leave at ur house in packs and grab when you need it.you don’t need 28 axes and 38 cheap handsaws and 94 hand files lmao unless your emergency is that you need to build furniture.get a leatherman,1 hatchet or just a quality bushcraft knife to replace all that stuff.this was really funny to watch.the other guy had a look on his face like “what did I get myself into” 😆
joining this "party" a bit late, but for those young-ins that never hiked without GPS, a couple of topos for the area one plans to be in (aka 2.5 min maps) or even better a DeLorme for the entire state. Knowing also the magnetic deviation in the area will take care of any compass errors. This is assuming one will be doing hiking or traveling to/from some area. If there is some accident, it is always wise to leave a travel plan with someone and STAY PUT in the event of some injury or other issue. but fun topic either way - great list you added.
I think this a decent overview on what you should have. It is a lot of stuff, but no one is telling you you have to have all of that. Take what they overviewed on and tailor it to your needs. I live down in Mississippi. We're just about as flat as Kansas over here, I ain't too worried about rappelling to save someone that fell down a cliff. We don't have cliffs down here. Mud? Different story, I'm working on equipping my pickup with recovery tools to handle that crap. Shovels, straps, winches, traction boards, that kind of crap can be a life saver with the sticky clay we have. Having a decent trauma bag to stabilize someone enough to have them survive until EMTs can get there is a damn good idea because car wrecks are nasty as shit. And in the rural areas, having a 24-72 hour bug out/get home bag is not a bad idea because if you get stranded in some backwoods ass road with no cell reception, I want to have enough survival equipment to camp out long enough to walk to the nearest town and get some assistance. He's not going into all the detailed shit of every bag because you may not need everything he has. It's an overview. Do your own research, find out what works for you, and tailor your equipment to your threats and your needs.
I keep a survival trap, a military 90% wool blanket, 1 gallon of water, an axe, a cold steel special forces shovel, Hiking boots, a Streamlight PolyStinger with charging cradle, an ABC fire extinguisher, a 8,000 lb hand winch with 50 feet of 10,000 lb test strap, and a self built trama kit and a self built tool kit. It all fits under or behind the seat of my 2012 Ford F-150 Super Crew Cab. Out of sight and out of mind.
Look into the Japanese Silky saws, they are AMAZING. I just got the Big Boy XL and it's a BEAST and super light. My next tool is a Katana Boy, which is a tree slayer. I'm currently building up a classic Bronco with complete kit and a 4 x 4 trailer. I have restored a one man, 5 foot push pull saw (it can be used by two men to more effect with the moveable second handle) that will be included but the Silky saws will usually get the job done with a lot less effort. Also fire steel and a good trail knife for making feather sticks, etc
Stefano, Please keep us up to date on how your Bronco build goes. Maybe we can do a video of your loadout. Till then, thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.
Will do... BTW your channel is the best get-yer-shite together channel on youtube. I've learned a lot. OH, here's the saw I found for 40 bucks at an antique store.. the shaft handle was missing and the grip was cracked, totally restored now with both replaced. It's quality American steel from the old days. I'm going to make a wood panel sheath for it ~~ crosscutsaw.com/install/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/wideback.jpg
I was waiting for him to pull out orange safety cones, hard hat, generator, work lights. geez! like I'm going to keep guns in my truck that's just stupid!!! a fishing pole, I'm not going fishing if I break down. I'm going to fix my truck. Tell ya what I have. AAA card, cell phone and portable cell phone charger. now real world... spare fuses, 12v test light, tire plug kit ( not fix a flat ), cigarette plug in air compressor, headlamp, tire tools/Jack. small tool kit ( Just the basics ). 3M super 33 electrical tape, tow strap, jumper cables, and depending where you live... sun hat & sunglasses, rain suit, cold weather gear. don't over complicate things people. if your in snow then a small collapsible snow shovel like youd see with snowmobiles is a good idea and of course a snow scraper. if you have questions post them that's what we're here for is to learn from others experiences. tier 1 I do enjoy your videos, so don't take it the wrong way. it's just that is off his rocker. super dave 7th sfg out!
Super Dave, my personal POV (Rubicon & Suburban) have all of your gear, plus a few of small things. However, our goal here at Tactical Rifleman has always been to allow SOF guys (SMEs) to share info on whatever topics they want. You, for example, could do a video sharing your knowledge gained down south (or any subject really). So, when Randy Wurst volunteered to share his layers of survival gear, we jumped at the chance. Granted, I didn't realize that we would be filming for 3 hours, but he definitely has the bases covered. What I like about Randy, is that he doesn't just regurgitate what is on EVERY of Survival video. He has a different view, and that adds extra knowledge to our viewers' Mental tool box. Thanks for watching, and thank you for your service. Strength & Honor, TR.
You want 100% fire success, throw in a bag of road flares lol. 30min ones for rig, and I like the little mini ones for backpacking ect. $5 for a pack of 2, and they are awesome when you need fire right now with whatever soaked shit you can make a pile of.
Uhh uhh this is uhh umm uhh yeah, a hamster castrater is a necessity, uhh, real quick, uhh. Guys, I really want to like this but it feels like you two are looking through somebody else's gear for the first time.
Special forces my ass. USCG here, and we are taught to survive with very little, taught to improvise and use ingenuity to survive, not to carry the whole Home Depot store with us.
While I agree Randy carries a ton more shit than I do; he is also a great survival instructor (Wurst Case Scenario Survival) that teaches students how to survive with very little. He is big on improvising and using ingenuity, just like your Navy survival instructors. Why did I have him lay out all his shit? Well, because I'm always open to learning new things and seeing new techniques. I learned a few new things hanging out with Randy. His mindset is different than most other survival instructors, and that gave me a new perspective. Thanks for watching. We put out a new video every Friday. Strength & Honor, TR.
Wait...did you seriously just say your in the coast guard and youre taught to survive with very little? LMFAO XD wtf? Bro, youre cost guard. Thats hardly a branch let alone having to survive and imporvise like youre in combat or some shit. Lmfao
it seems that in most of the videos i have seen on the subject of car and truck gear, all start from the assumption that you are already in the woods. yet a large part of the population lives in urban or suburban environs. and no one ever mentions carrying bolt cutters. or a hydrant wrench for fire hydrants. wonder why
Because these guys make these packs after watching an episode of man vs wild. Do you think anybody on this planet has ever actually used a bug out kit?
It’s be more helpful if he would explain what’s in each pack. Instead he says, ‘I’m not going to get into this right now’. But good video. Maybe post a list of each bag and items. Thanks man
Mine is very simple. Warm jacket, 4 gals of water, granola bars, trail mix & etc, signaling mirror & LASER Pointer ... and a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) as a last resort. Carry just enough to survive a week knowing that PLB will rescue me. For the cost of all this equipment he could have bought a PLB and may be even a satellite phone ... and better gas mileage.
Randy is a great guy, and a wealth of knowledge. As for his gear... he kinda just keeps adding items his whole life. Can’t wait till he buys a trailer. Thanks for watching, TR
I far prefer Karl. I don't know how the Army does things (and I know Karl is Army), but in the Corps we were taught KISS. This is wayyyyy too much gear, too redundant where redundancy isn't efficient, and in a real emergency where you have to think and act quick, you'll be dead by the time Randy pulls all his gear out and gets what he needs for you. More than half of that gear isn't "survival" gear at all. It's either rescue gear (to rescue someone else) or to recover your or someone else's vehicle from a crash or rollover. I see this a lot with survival videos - crossing over rescue/recovery with survival. I want to see gear to stay alive in my vehicle with, not pull it from a ditch or rescue someone else. When it's just Karl, he gets straight to the point and keeps it simple.
Your vehicle is usually the most important thing in keeping you alive in the middle of nowhere. It makes sense to bring stuff to fix potential problems with your vehicle. I agree he has waaaaay too much shit though.
Pass thru sockets NOTE they are useless in many applications due to their thickness for reaching vital areas. Nice for some things,you're far better off with slim profile regular socket sets. Source:auto builder 20yrs
It's always funny how many people spend their days thinking they're gonna be driving to Walmart one day and somehow end up in the Himalayas with the North Korean government coming after them
In the case of the guys on the video they’ve probably been to the Himalayas and back with the North Korean’s after them. They are more capable than your average Walmart shopper.
Wesley, I actually agree with you, and I keep a High Lift in my Jeep. However, Randy does carry a manual Cable Winch, which actually serves several of the High Lift's purposes better than the high lift. To each his own. I have learned a lot from Randy over the last few years. Thanks for watching, TR
Tactical Rifleman : Hey Bud thanks for responding. I’m glad you noticed what I posted and glad you have the High Lift covered bud . Keep making good videos Bro.
Good stuff! Something else I'd recommend is a set of snap-on locking jaw pliers PWZ2 store.snapon.com/Pliers-Wrenches-17-Plier-Wrench-P640880.aspx I have yet to see these slip on anything. Sometimes you get slippage with adjustable pliers so it would be nice to have something for the tighter items. I've used them to replace a spring on a m998 with no issue. The lockup you get with them is unparalleled. Give them a look might me something you would like to put in your kit.
Bit fucking extreme ,and I’m a little surprised you didn’t have 72 hours of food and water ... that seems basic for a guy who got a fishing pole and tree trimmer as an edc
Great stuff! Thanks Randy and Karl. A small chainsaw is handy if you have room for it. I got pinned between two trees when I got caught driving in the path of a tornado. I had to clear the road myself to get traffic moving again.

With all that weight he carries no wonder he has had axles catch fire
No fux Givin best reply of the entire comment section🤣
GUYS. I DON'T THINK HE WANTS TO GET INTO ANYTHING.
25 years in group he's been into enough...
Applewood Bacon ahhahaaa
fence pliers, "one of your most valuable tools you can have in your vehicle." apparently he's never changed an alternator!
JM B Hahahaha, Your right on that bud. Unless his survival consists of mending fences. Lmao.
Glad to see the Henry Survival Rifle.
Thank you for your service and thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Was planning on getting one this month but the dryer shit the bed...
I'd leave a comment, but I don't want to get into it.

Randy is getting better with his new videos
I’ll tell you what, this channel has some of the best damn information out there. Thank you 🙏
I wonder how bad the gas mileage is on that truck. Theres a fine line between being prepared with some basic medical and survival supplies and putting everything you own but the kitchen sink into your car.
Brad Barber Hey we're not going to get into that. Lol
This is ridiculous.
The location of a tool box means it dosent effect gas mileage at all. I had a similar set up in my 89 f150 there was no difference in gas mileage.
I dont think you understand how pickups and tool boxes work buddy. Thats not effrcting gas mileage at all snd that not really a lot of fwar tbh lmfao
the weight he's adding to the truck sucks gas mileage. The tool box isn't affecting it air flow wise. But every pound you add to your vehicle is adding to worse gas mileage.
you can tell that by the look on tactical riflemans face he wants to laugh but holds it back at times LOL!
Dodge Dakota.....ull be the 1 needing rescued
Is prepared for everything but actually getting to point B lol...
I would beg to differ with my 01 Dakota solid axle swapped d60s will put anyones rig up for a run for its money
You must not know much about Mopars.
Randy: This is SUPER important!!
Also Randy: but I’m not gonna get into it
Haha. Nice!

Awesome video. Cool i was taught to sharpen the shovel years ago as well. As a F/R now this is a great video of knowledge passed down.
the video needs more structure. Good idea but I hear him saying "I'm not going to get into that" too much. If you are going to do something do it right.
Exactly.
Agreed.
Yes well
GET INTO IT!
I disagree. Most of that stuff i knew what the detailed breakdown was, i just wanted to know what he had. From that information just take notes and do your own further research.
great video. Made me rethink my entire truck situation, and I watched the war belt and the bullet vest videos by the guy on the left side? and those were super great too. thanks guys, very valuable information.
I have much to say about emergencies as I've been in several emergency situations; however, I'm not going to get into it
nice video..1 piece of gear i got my wife is a portable jump starter super light easy to use and its got plugs for charging your phone and even a small air pump for flats...i got it for my wife but i throw it into the truck when i go to the woods.

A Rugar TD (Take Down) maybe better ! With a couple boxes of .22's if you can find them... tjl P.S. Also good a 9mm Carbine, 5.56mm and the 7.62 !
Lmao I just keep thinking of Carl's bug out bag video and how he kept reiterating how minimalist it needs to be and then we see this video hahaha
Nice kit it's worth keeping JB weld,radiator fluid,flares,motor oil,food,water,gas,chainsaw,playing cards,small tent,to much to name all my kit in my tool box is huge,oh and never forget old army wool blankets they work great!
Is there a video that shows how he boils water? It would be awesome to see it in person, but I live about 1000+ miles from him.
Wow. That's a ton of stuff.
I make sure I have at least jumper Cables , 2 - 30ft tow straps , gas siphon , blankets and then bug out bag with gear
Zip ties! I need to remember those...I always seem to forget 'em. Great video-many useful things mentioned here.
Don't know why so many are critical to the fact Mr Wurst doesn't want to expand on all these items? This is a brief overview, what do you expect?
Great video by what appear to be very competent men, and Green Berets! Be grateful for the free tips and advice A-Holes!!
Just wondering why that out of all of the videos that I have watched no one has mentioned a compass. I would think that should be part of any "bug out" setup.
Or toilet paper!

A compass is worthless without a topographical map AND identifiable landmarks. Compass alone is like a GPS without batteries.
Nich, go out to and actually get some basic orienteering skills. Tell me again how a compass alone will help me in a desert or a forest where I have no distinguishable landmarks or terrain to work with. A compass tells you direction, magnetic north. That is is it.

joining this "party" a bit late, but for those young-ins that never hiked without GPS, a couple of topos for the area one plans to be in (aka 2.5 min maps) or even better a DeLorme for the entire state. Knowing also the magnetic deviation in the area will take care of any compass errors. This is assuming one will be doing hiking or traveling to/from some area. If there is some accident, it is always wise to leave a travel plan with someone and STAY PUT in the event of some injury or other issue. but fun topic either way - great list you added.
I think this a decent overview on what you should have. It is a lot of stuff, but no one is telling you you have to have all of that. Take what they overviewed on and tailor it to your needs.
I live down in Mississippi. We're just about as flat as Kansas over here, I ain't too worried about rappelling to save someone that fell down a cliff. We don't have cliffs down here.
Mud? Different story, I'm working on equipping my pickup with recovery tools to handle that crap. Shovels, straps, winches, traction boards, that kind of crap can be a life saver with the sticky clay we have. Having a decent trauma bag to stabilize someone enough to have them survive until EMTs can get there is a damn good idea because car wrecks are nasty as shit.
And in the rural areas, having a 24-72 hour bug out/get home bag is not a bad idea because if you get stranded in some backwoods ass road with no cell reception, I want to have enough survival equipment to camp out long enough to walk to the nearest town and get some assistance.
He's not going into all the detailed shit of every bag because you may not need everything he has. It's an overview. Do your own research, find out what works for you, and tailor your equipment to your threats and your needs.
I keep a survival trap, a military 90% wool blanket, 1 gallon of water, an axe, a cold steel special forces shovel, Hiking boots, a Streamlight PolyStinger with charging cradle, an ABC fire extinguisher, a 8,000 lb hand winch with 50 feet of 10,000 lb test strap, and a self built trama kit and a self built tool kit.
It all fits under or behind the seat of my 2012 Ford F-150 Super Crew Cab. Out of sight and out of mind.
Solid setup. Thanks for sharing. TR
thanks for the info and your service guys. PS I thought I got criticized for all the stuff I carried LOL
Better to HAVE and not NEED
Look into the Japanese Silky saws, they are AMAZING. I just got the Big Boy XL and it's a BEAST and super light. My next tool is a Katana Boy, which is a tree slayer. I'm currently building up a classic Bronco with complete kit and a 4 x 4 trailer. I have restored a one man, 5 foot push pull saw (it can be used by two men to more effect with the moveable second handle) that will be included but the Silky saws will usually get the job done with a lot less effort. Also fire steel and a good trail knife for making feather sticks, etc
Stefano, Please keep us up to date on how your Bronco build goes. Maybe we can do a video of your loadout. Till then, thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR.
Will do... BTW your channel is the best get-yer-shite together channel on youtube. I've learned a lot. OH, here's the saw I found for 40 bucks at an antique store.. the shaft handle was missing and the grip was cracked, totally restored now with both replaced. It's quality American steel from the old days. I'm going to make a wood panel sheath for it ~~ crosscutsaw.com/install/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/wideback.jpg
Great video could you please make them longer.you give a lot of insight
Karl and Randy nice show and tell there and informational going to rethink my gear ⚙️ now 👍👌✌️⚙️🛻🇺🇸
His fibreglass shovel must be a cheap one because the handle should be solid fibreglass and wouldn't need reinforcing!
I want to see his pocket dump too ! Probably needs suspenders to hold up his britches. Lol Thanks guys, lot's of good information to work into my kit.
We have done videos on ALL of Randy’s different layers of kit, including his pockets.
You can find them in our video archive. Thanks for watching, TR
@@TacticalRifleman thank you , I have followed you guy's for a long time , I just haven't seen that particular one.
Keep kicking ass & taking names!
Very good ideas. Thank you very much
Thanks for the video Karl
I drank every time he said, "I don't have time to get into it," and passed out for a week and a half.
I was waiting for him to pull out orange safety cones, hard hat, generator, work lights. geez! like I'm going to keep guns in my truck that's just stupid!!! a fishing pole, I'm not going fishing if I break down. I'm going to fix my truck. Tell ya what I have. AAA card, cell phone and portable cell phone charger. now real world... spare fuses, 12v test light, tire plug kit ( not fix a flat ), cigarette plug in air compressor, headlamp, tire tools/Jack. small tool kit ( Just the basics ). 3M super 33 electrical tape, tow strap, jumper cables, and depending where you live... sun hat & sunglasses, rain suit, cold weather gear. don't over complicate things people. if your in snow then a small collapsible snow shovel like youd see with snowmobiles is a good idea and of course a snow scraper. if you have questions post them that's what we're here for is to learn from others experiences. tier 1 I do enjoy your videos, so don't take it the wrong way. it's just that is off his rocker. super dave 7th sfg out!
Super Dave, my personal POV (Rubicon & Suburban) have all of your gear, plus a few of small things. However, our goal here at Tactical Rifleman has always been to allow SOF guys (SMEs) to share info on whatever topics they want. You, for example, could do a video sharing your knowledge gained down south (or any subject really). So, when Randy Wurst volunteered to share his layers of survival gear, we jumped at the chance. Granted, I didn't realize that we would be filming for 3 hours, but he definitely has the bases covered. What I like about Randy, is that he doesn't just regurgitate what is on EVERY of Survival video. He has a different view, and that adds extra knowledge to our viewers' Mental tool box. Thanks for watching, and thank you for your service. Strength & Honor, TR.
LOL LOL!!!
All of that and I never see or heard you say a tow strap? What if you get stuck?
How often do you need to replace your rope because of deterioration? Even if you don’t use it? Does 550 cord go bad?
Everything eventually goes bad. The key is to periodically inspect your stuff
You want 100% fire success, throw in a bag of road flares lol. 30min ones for rig, and
I like the little mini ones for backpacking ect. $5 for a pack of 2, and they are awesome when you need fire right now with whatever soaked shit you can make a pile of.
Love it!
Almost 14 minutes into this video, "I can't guarantee you what can be used in like Alaska..." Dang it... haha
I'm confused. Did you say your MSR Purifier would filtration gasoline? Thanks!
Uhh uhh this is uhh umm uhh yeah, a hamster castrater is a necessity, uhh, real quick, uhh. Guys, I really want to like this but it feels like you two are looking through somebody else's gear for the first time.
Disorganized, poorly presented.
David Corsello
Right?
Special forces my ass. USCG here, and we are taught to survive with very little, taught to improvise and use ingenuity to survive, not to carry the whole Home Depot store with us.
While I agree Randy carries a ton more shit than I do; he is also a great survival instructor (Wurst Case Scenario Survival) that teaches students how to survive with very little. He is big on improvising and using ingenuity, just like your Navy survival instructors. Why did I have him lay out all his shit? Well, because I'm always open to learning new things and seeing new techniques. I learned a few new things hanging out with Randy. His mindset is different than most other survival instructors, and that gave me a new perspective. Thanks for watching. We put out a new video every Friday. Strength & Honor, TR.
You make a good point. USCG would know that Randy forgot to include a snorkel and fins.
Wait...did you seriously just say your in the coast guard and youre taught to survive with very little? LMFAO XD wtf? Bro, youre cost guard. Thats hardly a branch let alone having to survive and imporvise like youre in combat or some shit. Lmfao
Why not carry the shit if you can. If it fails or you lose it, improvise. Why make it harder?
you need a hand pump... i think the seals in that thing will pop before you would be able to pump a car tire.
it seems that in most of the videos i have seen on the subject of car and truck gear, all start from the assumption that you are already in the woods. yet a large part of the population lives in urban or suburban environs. and no one ever mentions carrying bolt cutters. or a hydrant wrench for fire hydrants. wonder why
Because these guys make these packs after watching an episode of man vs wild. Do you think anybody on this planet has ever actually used a bug out kit?
If its so important to you add it
he actually said he doesnt want to break down the axe LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s be more helpful if he would explain what’s in each pack. Instead he says, ‘I’m not going to get into this right now’. But good video. Maybe post a list of each bag and items. Thanks man
Mine is very simple. Warm jacket, 4 gals of water, granola bars, trail mix & etc, signaling mirror & LASER Pointer ... and a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) as a last resort. Carry just enough to survive a week knowing that PLB will rescue me. For the cost of all this equipment he could have bought a PLB and may be even a satellite phone ... and better gas mileage.
Good idea, thanks
Randy "I'm not going to go into it" Wurst lol
where is the link for the book that he talked about in the beginning?
I carry all that stuff in my truck except the guns. Thats because im a landscaper... I even have an escape vehicle, its a 52" scag lawn mower.. lol
I love the native American nations. The originals. They know this place better than anyone they evolved here.
This guy is great id like to see more of him not less of carl just more of randy lol
I always have seen sootch00 ass the KING off gear but this guy,wow he takes it's to the top
Randy is a great guy, and a wealth of knowledge. As for his gear... he kinda just keeps adding items his whole life. Can’t wait till he buys a trailer. Thanks for watching, TR
4:27 That's the ShamWow.😊
Gents... This Vidya.. is titled "Boomer survival aka harbor freight on wheels" 😂
What was that cable he had to boil water?
Files?! FILES?!
I far prefer Karl. I don't know how the Army does things (and I know Karl is Army), but in the Corps we were taught KISS. This is wayyyyy too much gear, too redundant where redundancy isn't efficient, and in a real emergency where you have to think and act quick, you'll be dead by the time Randy pulls all his gear out and gets what he needs for you.
More than half of that gear isn't "survival" gear at all. It's either rescue gear (to rescue someone else) or to recover your or someone else's vehicle from a crash or rollover.
I see this a lot with survival videos - crossing over rescue/recovery with survival.
I want to see gear to stay alive in my vehicle with, not pull it from a ditch or rescue someone else.
When it's just Karl, he gets straight to the point and keeps it simple.
Your vehicle is usually the most important thing in keeping you alive in the middle of nowhere. It makes sense to bring stuff to fix potential problems with your vehicle. I agree he has waaaaay too much shit though.
What kind of purifier is it?
At least you can round it off with your crescent wrench 🤣
Ok but his axles caught on fire?
Pass thru sockets NOTE they are useless in many applications due to their thickness for reaching vital areas. Nice for some things,you're far better off with slim profile regular socket sets. Source:auto builder 20yrs
Worse case scenario, you rely on a dodge gasser to be your "reliable" vehicle in an emergency situation
kid pops up outta the tool box towards the end
Definition of gear queer
Go Go Gadget helicopter,, blast off..,, wheres my lighter...around here somewhere,,...
List of everything please
Imagine what his tools shed looks like lol
So much for keep it simple
Obviously, when his truck leaves the house, there is nothing left in the garage....
It's always funny how many people spend their days thinking they're gonna be driving to Walmart one day and somehow end up in the Himalayas with the North Korean government coming after them
In the case of the guys on the video they’ve probably been to the Himalayas and back with the North Korean’s after them. They are more capable than your average Walmart shopper.
That is not a spade. I know people say that from the shape. A. Spade has a straight blade some a slight radius never a point like the suit of cards.
Dude, I dnt even have a truck to start with. Guess I’m dead in an emergency situation, but I’d rather not get into it.
Actually one of most important Tools he’s missing is a freakin Farm High lifter jack.
Wesley, I actually agree with you, and I keep a High Lift in my Jeep. However, Randy does carry a manual Cable Winch, which actually serves several of the High Lift's purposes better than the high lift. To each his own. I have learned a lot from Randy over the last few years. Thanks for watching, TR
Tactical Rifleman : Hey Bud thanks for responding. I’m glad you noticed what I posted and glad you have the High Lift covered bud . Keep making good videos Bro.
Good stuff! Something else I'd recommend is a set of snap-on locking jaw pliers PWZ2
store.snapon.com/Pliers-Wrenches-17-Plier-Wrench-P640880.aspx
I have yet to see these slip on anything. Sometimes you get slippage with adjustable pliers so it would be nice to have something for the tighter items. I've used them to replace a spring on a m998 with no issue. The lockup you get with them is unparalleled. Give them a look might me something you would like to put in your kit.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check them out. TR.
please tool list of everything???
Flares?
Good grief, my one ton isn't big enough for all the gear I need. 😳
Replace both of those saws with ONE, FOLDING Silky Big Boy.
Please, get into it.
Bit fucking extreme ,and I’m a little surprised you didn’t have 72 hours of food and water ... that seems basic for a guy who got a fishing pole and tree trimmer as an edc
he went looking for the largest nuts he could find lol
Lol. He spent more time talking about a totally unnecessary fencing tool than anything else. What was the rush in making this video?
I'm not going to lie to you but in shtf situation if you dont have
TP
"I'm not going to get in to it".
o god, more gear. such a geardo
