In addition to an HK P30 SK and two 18 round spare mags molly'd to an IFAK and TQ, I keep a sling style non-tactical looking Osprey urban go bag with another med kit, two more mags, two TQ's, space sleeping bag, lightweight jacket, t-shirt, sunglasses, hat (in case I need to change my appearance), battery, several knives, small bottle of water, energy gel packets, 200$ cash, credit card, duct tape, small signal mirror, small towel, pen paper, laminated list of essential phone numbers, gloves, visine, about 100ft of paracord woven into a lanyard with various attachments, super glue and a few other things that I might need. I also carry a spare gi, belt and rash guard in my car in case I might want to roll at a random dojo somewhere unexpectedly, but it's really for friends who show up for training and forgot their gi's!!!!! hahahahahaha!
I wear eyeglasses, so I ensure that I have an extra pair in the vehicle in case something happens to my primary, along with attachable sunglasses for long rides in the sun. I have things to facilitate continued driving in the face of difficulty. E.g., Lens wipes in case my glasses get dirty. Ibuprofen in case I have a headache. Food if I get hungry. Water if thirsty. And, coffee if I need to stay alert. I have a notebook and two pens in case I need to take notes about anything. I also carry a flashlight. But to be honest, I need to up my game with the emergency stuff. Tourniquets, etc. Great video, thanks for the helpful information!
Tim, I think you need to start a new “punked” series. Instead of pranking people, you go up to random GunTubers and do the same to them what you did to Matt. Call it, “popped.” lol
Thanks Tim for teaching the skills and knowledge that have bestowed confidence within me to attend large public gatherings in today’s turbulent society. You are a role model for what is truly just and right.
Things I don't commonly see which I find pretty clutch. 1. Latex gloves to assist with bloody wounds, 2. Silcock water valve key so you can get water from pretty much anywhere if they remove the valve control.
Jump box, x-long jumper cables, EDC (long & carry), survival kit, IFAK (Multi-person - 15 TQ's & STB supplies), sm. bino, 2 SDR fanny-packs filled, water, 2 days of MRE for 5, 2 golf umbrellas, shade/pop-up tent side to afix to side of truck in case needed, extra compass & signal kit, 50 ft of 500D & 50 ft of 1000D paracord, poncho liners for 4. But will be adding a seat cover, b/c that was gold right there!
Love That You Guys Have Ratchet Straps Jumper Cables And Jump Packs Im From Northern Illinois And Nobody Cares To Help Unless You Have Your Own Jumper Cables Or Jump Box But In The Snow Everybody Stops To Help If You Get Stuck In The Snow But Usually Nobody Has Tow Straps Or Chains To Pull You Out I Put Jumper Cables Ratchet Straps And A Good Hydraulic Jack In My Moms Car And She Always Said It Was Dumb Because She Didnt Know How To Use Them But It Saved Her A Few Times People Will Stop And Help An Old Lady And Having The Tools Makes Their Life ALOT EASIER
Love the video thanks ! If i may, your buddy gots you Tim and guys one more last item and its an old school manual tire pump no power grid, no sun, no problem.
Take a look at the Victorinox Rescue tool which has a window breaker, seatbelt cutter, windshield cutter, general purpose blade, flathead and Philips screwdrivers, bottle opener, toothpick and tweezers.. Basically for extrication from vehicles in an emergency. There's also the Zak Took window punch; also for emergencies for use on tempered glass. I would also add to compliment the tourniquets; chest seals and Israeli bandages.. a few abdominal pads..
Get rid of the fix a flat and learn to plug a tire, super easy and reusable(fix multiple punctures). ATF fluid is good to have to get you out of a pinch with a way to patch holes in fluid catch pans or power steering/brake leaks. The Jumper pack is very useful. On your tools I use my vehicle tool kit for all repairs with my Jeep, when you do this you'll be surprised how much stuff you carry that you don't use (aka the 9mm socket/wrench). Good video.
Ain’t no way Matt’s not doing something with that tailgate grid thingy. Very informative and seeing that map brought me back! Crazy that’s what we all relied on before gps.
Always awesome to hear from the Top Sheepdogs! Equally amazing that most people do not own an actual paper road map these days! hahahaha! I suspect Mat was going to comment on how unorganized Tim's gear is...........just say'n!
Have you guys gone on a nice straight, clear piece of road and tried to emergency brake from like 40 mph? How much crap comes flying? In a crash I fear you'd get killed by some of that stuff.
Do a video where you audit average Joe's vehicles to see how they stack up to a standard and give advice on how they can improve. Would be fun to watch. Go to states in the southeast versus states in other areas of the country. Keep up the great content.
One of my favorite EDC items that I’ve varied for years is some sort of leatherman. Totally worth the money and has saved me so many times. BTW, can y’all do these videos on your sheep dog response site so that they don’t have to be so censored?
Keep logging chain around you can use a tree as a fulcrum point you can get yourself out of a lot of jams specially if you’re on a muddy hill and a four-wheel-drive it just keeps sliding around. You can use your buddies car and counterweight your vehicle and get it unstuck.
Great video boys. I am not sure what all the winches and straps would be used for though. Wouldn't you want more water and food, TP, clothing, blankets, etc. ?
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Tim, can you make a video on supplements/protein etc. for someone in the military, lifting, jujitzu or a 9to5 person if what we all should be taking daily.
Does Texas heat affect car\truck edc at all? Such as electronics and fire extinguisher etc? I image the extreme internal heat on our vehicles take a toll on our valuable items.
I was the I don’t want the gubment tracking me type and used an Atlas on a cross country trek. Some states have state “highways” that are dirt roads or filled with cattle or have bridges that are out. Smart phones aren’t perfect but maps are way more flawed. I would only keep an Atlas if I were driving out of my area or someplace unfamiliar.
@skepticalhippo6376 I kinda wonder since hes in the texas national guard now, is he also deputized by the sheriff in the state of texas??? 🧐 I feel an internet mystery coming on. Idk how any of that shit works. I wish we could ask him lol
Always curious as a basic civ here ...expected some shocked didn't have others 🤔🗽 I got seat covers on Amazon $15 had them years even have huge front pocket for "stuff" spilled a whole McDonald's frappe on them yep waterproof claim is valid 😂
I have one for every year that came out, and I gave some of those away to young people who don’t use maps only on their cell phone if they know how to do that any day😂
Tim I have the same truck you need a toilet for the kids from amazon it will fit in back of the passenger seat they collapse snacks for the kids and also you have a bunch of room in back of the seats for items that you do not need immediate access to I know your strong but your not young anymore get a torque impact wrench your lug nuts are torqued at 150ftlbs but after a while they almost seize add some water bottles and koolaid or some other flavor packs and snacks that wont melt in the heat peanuts are good for your kids your more likely to break down with your family especially in that truck ask me how I know also a level IIIA soft inserts fit in back of your back seats that f150 supercrew cab and a soft insert IIIA will stop a m80 ball round and m855 both from a 16in barrel no I didnt shoot mine I shot one at a junk yard
Badge? Is Tim mixed up in the scandal of a police dept having officers that don’t even live in the state? I thought those guys were getting criminal charges.
Overlanding is a great hobby to help you with another angle of preparedness, just do not do the goofy rooftop tent thing they all do. It’s a terrible idea. People that have ever done long term off-road or real 4wd driving will understand why.
I have seen hours of content on what people have. Next to zero hours of content on what people know how to use. Fishing kit. Have you caught fish with it? Water purification. Have you purified water with it and drank it? Food rations. Have you prepared and eaten it? Get where I’m going? Do these influencers have the skills to use what they have. I served 28 years and never had to purify water or hunt for food etc. Does anyone know of any channels where they’re actually showing prac app?
Graybeardedgreenberet is a good one. I have no doubt a lot of the people who carry these things and show their edc know how to use and implement them, they just don’t have the time/energy/motivation to make videos about them. The Gray bearded green beret’s channel is almost exclusively field craft skills training.
This is true. I go camping (I refuse to call it Overlanding) with a rig set up and a few guys that I know and there’s a few guys in my group that go with me that wouldn’t have the slightest clue how to use 90% of all the crap they have. They also have 10 times as much sh*t as I do. When you know how to use thingsless is more. If you have something in your possession and someone where to ask you “just what exactly are you going to do with that and what scenario would you use it in?” and you can’t answer the question then you don’t need it.
The Sun just popped off an X20 solar flare. Everybody stands in awe as the powerful Aurora's are visible across the entire globe, even on the Equator. Since the magnetosphere is already at 70% strength the ionosphere discharge to ground instantly fries all electronics. All modern trucks sit dead and motionless as their frazzled computers and hundreds of sensors give up the ghost in a puff of burnt insulation smoke. Those in the city soon realise that noone is coming to save them as all services fail and the food in their freezers begins to perish, the more brazen take to the streets devoid of a plan. Get out of the cities.
Must be a GIJOE thing. I don't need none of that crap! I carry a pistol with reload, folder, handlight, & OC gel. I don't own a rifle! I hear about emergencies, but have never been involved in one. I've seen traffic accidents with emergency personel on scene, Ive never seen the accident happen! All the bandaids, at home are so old. That when I need one the glue don't hold anymore! Either I'm to cheap to replace old bandaids or I just don't need bandaids that often! So if I rarely need a simple band aid, sowhy do I need the rest of this crap!
Sure you don’t need it till you do. Just because you’ve never seen an accident happen doesn’t mean you can’t. Idk where you live but if it’s a heavy snow area every year people die because of being snowed out while in their car and they get stuck there for hours and freeze to death because they have no blankets. If you’re in an area that gets real hot your car could break down in the middle of no where with no service. You should have some way of purifying water or having some water and some dehydrated food.
