Survival Experts WALK YOU THROUGH an EMP AFTERMATH 

Let's hear your survival plan - how would you get through this critical situation safely?

My health went south due to unseen events that left me on oxygen and wheelchair 24/7. I live in a mobile home community and get along with my elderly neighbors. In SHTF times, I’m staying right here. When the food and water runs out I’ll be gone. It’s that simple. I can’t run for the hills and only have my life’s lived knowledge to offer others in a community. Marauders can take me out quickly and that fact is what I live and die with. God bless you younger folks. This is one grandpa who’s staying home to the end.

For the past 2 years, I have been getting in shape for the 1st time in my life. I am 46 and I lost 85 lbs in a year. I am now the healthiest and strongest Ive ever been. My husband is disabled, so he will need me healthy. We live in the mountains, so I train by wearing heavy packs and jogging through the forest. We have found natural springs. Ive been learning about the plants around for food and medicine.

My number one prep has been to improve my health. For the past twenty-seven months, I have eaten the Carnivore diet. I'm 75 and have now reversed T2 diabetes, high blood pressure, brain fog, and many other maladies. Life is much better once sugar and carbohydrates are out of the body. No more hangry, no more hypoglycemia and no more needing to eat or snack NOW. I eat once a day now and am easily able to go even longer with a clear head and ample energy. When SHTF, most people will be in trouble when that Cliff bar in their pocket is eaten and gone. Insulin resistance is our enemy. I'm enjoying life without sugar and carbs. Such an improvement!

Three seniors will not be leaving home, too old and disabled. We will hold on as long as we can. God bless all who are in the same situation.!

We have 500 acres to hide in 10 minutes from our house and enough food and beer making supplies to last for a few years. Started prepping when I was 10yrs old because my friends father was a total nutjob. He used to dump us off on Friday nights and pick us up on Sunday afternoons with only our "Rambo" knives.

Suddenly woke up one morning and realized my family and I are wasting time and need to prepare. I’m not sure where this nudge come from but I have this feeling

Lots of great tips brother! As a former Navy recon pilot who went through SERE school I can say you have the priorities correct. Water, socks, calories. Lots of folks are putting out content on heavy bug out bags with knives, guns, protection, shelter etc. If you are on the move, pack light and take care of your body first...blister packs, sunscreen are in my pack. These items are small but make a big difference on long walks. Also I've been practicing ultra light camping with friends. My ruck weighs less than 10 pounds. I'm big on alcohol stoves like the fancy feast ones. Got a small hammock in it and min gear. Heck I even have an altoids tin packed with over 50 items. Cheers! Liked and subbed!

If you live in remote area don't just bug out..wait and see what is going on using radios. Bug out is last resort. EMP protection device little over 300$ for vehicle for emergency use. Black out your lights by painting them black and leave a small slit in the middle won't bee seen from air or long distance. Personal experience makes sense to those who have lived though civil war in Bosnia.

If your out on the road with no means of defense. The first thing to do is stop, cut down a sapling. ( thats a small tree to city slicker) about 8 foot long and 2 inches in diameter and sharpen one end. Now you have a defensive staff.

It feels weird looking at these comments, I'm not even in my 20s yet and here I am, with a bunch of grown as adults. Nice to be here all the same! Love these videos!

I’m a strength and conditioning coach, and a prepper. The biggest hole in the preppers tool box is fitness. It’s not sexy, or some cool gadget, but it is essential! Walking with a light pack for an hour shouldn’t even register on your fitness scale. If it does, it’s a great indicator of what you need to work on. That being said, I was delighted to see several comments from people talking about improving their health and fitness. Keep up the great work! For the rest of you not working on your fitness, the best time to start is today!

Some train for this. In one hour an organized group could loot more then working for years could have gotten them. I am not one of these types but I suspect there are potentially millions of them waiting for the power to go off.

My wife and I are both in our 60's. It would be nice to see a video about geriatric survival in a SHTF scenario...

This is why I love my Snugpak Jungle Bag! The built in mosquito net is a godsend.. A lot of people forget about ticks and other pests in this situation.

battlbox and survival dispatch, what a great crossover. we need more content like this

The first thing I'm doing is teaming up with grown men with giant beards and southern accents.

I've got years of experience hiking and living in the wilderness. I actually learned a few things from watching this video.

I think of this situation as a zombie apocalypse. Given enough time without food, water, medications, drugs and/or alcohol, unprepared people will be out of their minds AND desperate...and we all know that this is the most dangerous kind of person. Great video BTW!

Glad to be a part of this! I had a blast even though it wore my ass out😂 Great video.

Can you do a mom prep video? Most of the time I’m running errands with two little ones. That would be awesome.

Hand sanirtizer makes a good smokeless fire. 🤙🏼

You won't believe this but, I JUST told my 80 yr old mom who lives 800 miles away, that if shtf, I would be walking home! (About 1 week ago)..She knows I was dead serious, even though she is pretty much stuck in the dark...thank you! Btw, I sent this to her! If this wasn't God speaking to me, I don't know why I found this video when I don't really even follow you! I do now!

The second people lose their phones abilities there’s mass freaking out

have 5 acres waaayy off the beaten path at the end of a dirt road. 3 old large furnished houses on the property. have been prepping there for years. made a couple of generators out of several bicycle wheels that charge batteries using the current from the creek behind the houses. rain barrels at every possible place for fresh water. creek water hand pumped into wall hung cisterns for flushing toilets and bathing. took heavy equipment and created a long trench shelter along the creek bank then put the foliage back on top of shelter so openings are not visible unless you know where to look. 3 ft overhang of vines creates private access between trench dugouts. tunnels connect all 3 houses and can be used to access creek. stocked with 10 years of food in the larder and adding. 3 55 gallon drums with meat based pemmican and 3 with fruit based pemmican and adding. have 27 people ready to come if shtf as they are more out in the open. they have helped prepare the place for all of us. plenty of game on land. gunsmith is one of the 27. lead bars stacked in the armory. 12 of the 27 are former military/police. 4 are in medical field. weekly training mandatory for all planning to come. hope we never have to use it except to play but we do spend a weekend each month putting it through it's paces. completely primitive living with just what we have. of course we have a stock of plum and blackberry wine for the adults. kids get juice from the shoemake berry and we have a supply of bitter orange trees which contain an ephedrine like quality if needed. 3 gardens vegetable, medicinal, and dangerous. will be working along on it.

One of the first rules of evasion is stay off roads and trails. Be careful near water sources of being ambushed. Use stealth, cover and concealment. Do not have shiny or loud things (keys phone on) do not have colognes on as a person will hear you and smell you before they see you. Anyone you do not know is a potential threat. If you do encounter someone or they you, tell them one time to stay/go away and that’s it. Just like how I pump gas in the inner city.

Living in Northern Canada something I keep in my BOB and in my car at all times are those HotShot hand warmer packages. You shake them, they heat up and stay warm for hours. They are available for hands, feet and have larger ones that are very handy for keeping vital organs and larger body parts warm. They are cheap and easy to get, you can also create fire using them and a cotton ball by friction. I used to always buy them for the kids for winter play time, but found they were much more than just for that situation.

If you are serious about survival and prepping, your health and fitness should be your number one prep...period!!! If you're not prioritizing health and fitness, you're not serious about prepping and surviving. You may not have access to your caches of food, water, medications and weapons, when they are needed. But, if you're as fit, healthy and capable as you can be, that will be with you everywhere all of the time. You can gather everything else if need be.

If you’re not going to bug out and you need to learn how to survive at home with no power …. GO TO YOUR BREAKER BOX TURN OF THE MAIN … let the games begin … I happen to live very rural so when major storms hit we frequently go weeks without power … it’s way more physically demanding than one would realize but it’s a great way to learn what you need and what backups for your back ups you’ll need as well …

If you have a sock and a rock, you have a weapon.

Getting out of the cities and becoming self sufficient is a great start. Once u leave your familiar surroundings, u will need all the essentials and the more people with u, the more issues that will arrive. Time will not be on your side. Personally I believe in building a small community of like minded people around u. Stay put in your out of city area where u have learned to be self sufficient. If u decide to go elsewhere, u will be in unfamiliar territory and expect others whom u dont know to go there as well. But above all of that seek wisdom from above.

You guys really piss me off, I wish I had friends that were cool like y'all 😂❤

Living in a rural area in a rural town everyone knows everyone is the best place to be when this happens

Hearing one of your packs without water was only 16lbs made me dance a bit in my seat. The GHB I made for my husband tops out at 17.02 lbs (without water), and with the right backpack strapped correctly, it feels like it weighs almost nothing, even for me. Mine is smaller and weighs even less as I've adjusted the contents to work with my build and strength. I envy your hammocks. Where I live, the routes we must take to get home do not support sturdy trees. Both bags hold emergency tents, but I'm looking for woobies, small tarps, and more garbage bags to make ground sleep more comfortable. The prices for everything keep increasing, and even thrift and army surplus stores are getting lighter on the gear I'm looking for as others wake up to the need for these items. That whole activity looked great! I especially liked Jason's advice about ducking into the forest on the side of the road and making a J loop backward. What a great way to lose a pursuer and even get behind them to keep an eye on them as you move.

Being a farmer and avid hunter,the nieghboring farms in our area Meeting and having made plans first and formost is protecting the Cattle, gardens, and water supplies,if the shit would hit the fan . Cave systems will provide shelter along with the natural springs that runs through them. These caves have storage cells built in them along with enough supplies to feed all the farms that are together in this for a couple of years. We have power generated by water going through the caves and will use satellite phones or ham radios for comunications. Worse comes to worse we will travel by horse back.

Bushwhacking through heavy foliage is only a last resort if in mortal peril. Ticks fleas spiders snakes wild animals… CHIGGERS!! Anyone who has ever had a good chiggering can tell you the depths of suffering they can cause and it can go on for weeks!!

The single most important and dangerous thing i can bring on any journey is a trained, prepared mind.

Lots of hate comments on here. I love it. All these hate comments are just more people that wont last more than a few days so i wont have to compete them with for resources. Keep training! Thanks for the content.

With the state of the world right now, we have a very simple rule we’re never more than 4 miles from home, my vehicle, my home everything is self contained and hardened against an EMP. No reason to worry when you’re ready for anything I’ve even learned how to manufacture my own pain medicine and even insulin.

I admit, I only subscribed to this channel because of the hammock setup. I was a land surveyor for 15 years and one of my duties in the woods was to find blind spots that I couldn’t see and to minimize them as much as possible. I lined up behind trees that were in a line and place my TS (total-station/instrument/gun) so I could see as much area as possible. There was ALWAYS a minimum of three feet I was unable to see and had to do “offset” shots. My point is that perpendicular to the road is PERFECT! Only someone trained and With intent will find you. Bravo gentleman, bravo. Btw, Feb1988 to April 1993 12C, May 1993 to Jan1998 11H. Army.

I am by no means a survival or camping expert, but this is the first prepping video I have watched in a very long time that actually taught me something! Many somethings in fact. Really enjoyed it. Very helpful.

As a mom and once upon a time forest ranger I intentionally stay somewhat prepared on the daily. I have a small backpack I use as a purse that’s on me at all times. I have an epi pen, a multi-tool, bottle of Tylenol. Small first aid kit, sunscreen, folded poncho, heat wrap, about 10 single serve protein powders. About a dozen electrolyte mixes. A couple protein bars and fruit leathers, a life straw and a fire starter with paracord on my keychain. I also keep extra socks, roll up flat shoes for me and my kiddo and some diapers and wipes. It sounds like a lot but my bag weighs less than 10lbs and I feel like we are pretty well prepared for a few days to get where we need to go. At home we live remote near a river on a few acres. We’ve planted a food forest and have a garden and keep bees and chickens. Always hoping for the best but I do think an EMP attack or another form of mandated lockdown will happen eventually and try to be as prepared as realistically possible for us.

My older boys and I tried the get water from a vine years ago. It took us a couple but when we did find one, it was the best water we ever drank. It was really good.

How many people out there have actually lived in the wilderness 9 months per year with just a medium pack, no people electronics etc., I have for past ten years, these shows are fine as far as tips go, great for starters, learn the basics, but most important stay healthy and remember positive attitude always, use your brain...I personally love living out there, but it's not as easy as one may think,

This is a bit random, but as a pepper who also has physical disabilities, would you guys ever consider doing a video specifically focusing on survival with disabilities? I think it would be useful for many people!

Water straw. Wild forging book. Waterproof socks. Firestarter. Paperback book in plastic bag. Paracord.

As I am watching this, my power has been out for almost 3 hours which is unusual. Although it is not cold I did go and get one of my generators to work the heat lamps on our baby chicks. Grabbed my porter cable battery and outfit that I can plug a USB cable into and charged my phone. This is a good video to watch.

I have a "Get Home Bag" in my truck that contains everything I need for basic survival for three days. Some tips: when you have freeze-dried food, you still need a way to cook it (added hiking cooking kit) and a small heat source (added collapsible hiking stove with heat tabs). I also carry a few 1 ounce bars of silver to buy anything that is still for sale.

Some really great tips , and sobering facts to get ready for any eventuality. This is real and certainly a possibility in our times . We are so use to jumping in an air conditioned car , grabbing our weekly shopping from the shelves of our local grocery store. But in one day , suddenly that can all stop . Getting fit , being prepared is a MUST . Sending love from Australia 🇦🇺

I would add a pair of compression socks, they can be folded into the spare set. they will help prevent blisters on the feet as well as control swelling on a long walk.

First thing never fly . Your bag will be much better packed . Stay local ! Drive or don’t go . That’s the ultimate sacrifice for survival of the fittest .

Hey guys- I have a very dumb question for you. A little background for reference: I carry my walkie talkie with me everywhere I go, with fresh batteries, and a back up set in the same waterproof bag- and my sons father has the other one, we test them regularly, they are 30 mile range. We have both worked in law enforcement and he’s an Army vet, so we know how quickly people can panic. If all of the electricity goes down, will the radios work? I’ve looked this up and I’ve seen a few different answers. I thought maybe you guys would definitely know. Our plan in case SHTF is to basically stay wherever you are supposed to be when we have our son- so if something happened over at his house, I would make my way over there on foot, not making contact with anyone if possible, if something happened over here with having my son with me, then he would make his way to me. Having a walkie-talkie was the only thing that I could think of that could keep the lines of communication open just in case something happens and we’re not able to stay where we had planned on being, or if we are out just by chance. I have a bag in my vehicle just in case I do need to go on foot I can remove that out of my vehicle, and carry it long distance- I have two more in my house and I have also one for my son. He’s only five years old, so I taught him where his bag is kept and how to get everything out in case he needs to. He knows his NESW. We’re not trying to scare him but we do have conversations with him so that he can understand what he needs to be doing if he can see that something like this begins to unfold and for some reason I am not there or his dad is not there, God forbid. We’ve already witnessed in the past three or four years how quickly people can begin making decisions based on emotions rather than logic and reasoning, and how quickly that can happen, and then spread. What else would you guys recommend for communication? Any suggestions on what to pack in a child’s bug out bag, and also, what skill do you guys recommend for children to have? ( If they are not able to get assistance from an adult ) thanks from Michigan 🧤

Great video brother. Best place to store your water is in your body.

My biggest concern is an EMP hitting when I am 2000 miles from home.

A little cayenne on the hammoc strings will keep climbing ants off

That's quite a kit you have for just travelling by plane and being surprised by an EMP

6:38 The best place to carry water is internally.

Outstanding video! Really raised the bar on this one! ✌🏼

Best place to carry water is in your belly. Excellent video. Thanks

Great video!!! I always enjoy seeing different perspectives of the same experience. You ready another challenge in a month? Don’t forget your wool undies.

I’m so grateful I grew up in scouting. Stay safe y’all.

Very good video. Interesting at 11:40, the young ones lying on the ground as soon as you stop...

Carry chia seeds. They’re light and full of carbs. 12/ounce. 👍🏻 Mix w/liquid.

No one can prepare you. Just do the best you can. Have people you trust. With you

What nobody realizes is fire is the first and biggest threat from an EMP. Especially if its from the sun. Its the long wave portion of the EMP that is the most destructive. Every longer length of metal will absorb this and heat up... much like the Carrington event. In todays world we have this grid running everywhere. So the #1 survival plan must include surviving the fires first... then plan for the aftermath. I dont know why literally nobody realizes this. Hope this helps... ML and Blessings everyone!

I'm staying in my home until Lord Jesus calls it.

I have that same exact hammock you were swinging in. I love it. It literally balls up into its own bag and can be tied to your pack while your walking or just stuffed in it. Super super good find. I got mine at wally world for like 10 bucks. One of the hest purchases i made honestly. Nothing beats a good night sleep.

I would only add one thing to your prep plan. Learn Breathing techniques because deep breathing significantly reduces the need for food and water as well as warms the blood (Important for protection against cold exposure) Wim Hof Method FTW.

Getting old has never sounded so good. Good luck to you adventurous youngsters.

Near your home, if you don't have a garden already, take a bag of potatoes and cut them up, leaving some potato eyes on each one. Plant them on nearby trails, etc. Many people don't know what potato plants look like, so they may be left alone, guving you a nurishing survival meal. They may even survive the winter if you cover them with leaves after the stalks have died. Same with carrots, onions and garlic!

As a long distance hiker/backpacker my top 3 things would be: 1-Food Fuel (XL GU Pack 15 servings in one pkg so take 2 ) no gas no go. 2-Water/filter (need water to hydrate) stay hydrated and stay aware. Contaminated water will ruin your gut and make you sick as a dawg. Clean water and clean body. 3-Sol Bivvy (green) for shelter, warmth, protection from the cold, rain, wind) - It changes where you live: Dry climate requires a different set of supplies to a wet environment etc. A great way to find this all out is to practice on the weekends, just for fun.

Bro- this edit is PRO 👊🏻🔥👊🏻

Thank You for this. Im sure alot of ppl need to see this.

I switched over to the hammock,with mosquito net years ago . Very comfortable.

Yes, don´t panic and don´t forget your towel....

Carry water in your water bottle and in a bladder if you have an inline water filter.

Knowledge is power, actual experience with using that knowledge is priceless..... From learning about 1970's patents solid state electric generation,which can be seen on "thinking n tinkering channel/ perpetual battery" To the method of storing hydrogen in a locked state, non pressurized, chemically locked, until released from heat application (which Bob Lazar has been using on his Corvette since the 70's. Staying up to date on every subject my mind can store, improving, testing new or different ideas.... Etc.... To being, able to make my own generator, gas mask, attack/defence drones, brown noise and black noise attacks, and some much more..... Being the pilot, engineer, maintenance and R & D, of your space ship, makes you able to do anything....... And working with the other option from asymmetrical capacitor thrust BEING the magnetic side rather than the electrical side which is such a big deal now..... With strange and amazing results, all cheaply on next to nothing is great at killing time, as well as preparing.

Imagine all the people that think food magically grows at walmart.

The only thing to worry about is nukes. In that case everyone is fkd. My house is my bugout.

No one really knows how effective an EMP attack against a region of the U.S. or against the entire U.S. would be. Those scientists who are experts in physics, electro magnetics and solar storms disagree on whether older vehicles and those vehicles partially sheltered in parking garages or in canyons would eventually start. No one knows for sure if an EMP would prevent the back-up generators at U.S. nuclear power plants from working. Or how quickly electric power could restored to the nation's railroad systems and how quickly the computer parts of diesel train engines could be repaired/replaced. Or how quickly electric power could be restored to military installations or to the major population centers. The U.S. military has large portable generators as well as some communication systems and weapons platforms that are designed to withstand EMP attacks. The nuclear triad is certainly designed to withstand EMP attack. Would parts of the U.S., Mexican and Canadian power grids go down if there is an EMP attack upon the U.S.? Probably. Would the U.S. respond to an EMP attack with EMP, nuclear or conventional weapons attacks upon enemy nations? Could be. Could an EMP attack upon the U.S. kick off WWIII? Quite possibly. After an EMP attack upon the U.S., failure of your local power grid and neighbors looting grocery stores could be the least of your problems. Better have a plan for dealing with radioactive fallout, winter cold, disruption of the clean water supply and a long-term disruption of the food supply if WWIII kicks off post-EMP. Camping in the woods and learning how to light campfire with flint and steel will not be the solutions to those challenges. Better have the plans, tools and materials for building a fallout shelter quickly. Or have access to a deep cave. Better have a lot of long-term food storage too. And a way to make that collected rainwater and pond water safe to drink. And better have a bicycle or pack mule or a horse and cart because you will not want to walk miles to carry home two buckets of dirty water from the nearest steam or pond

I have told my children time and time again to move where there's more woods and start to learn how to be out of their comfort zones... I know what's happening AND I'm preparing for... WHATEVER... thank you for this video 💯

If there was an EMP and the airplane was on approach to Atlanta with everything below dark...wouldn't the plane drop like a rock as well?

The editing 10/10 👌! Thanks for this video

All good points, but if it goes down in the middle of winter FORGETABOUT IT

1st rule of survival: have a Bat-Belt full of gadgets and supplies.... Riiiiiight....

Good real world scenario there for current times

Rule number one: don't tell others what you've stockpiled! Items for SHTF. Priority one items: food, filtered water bottle, as important as first aid is antibacterial soap (infection kills) Convenient conveniences: bike to move faster to leave faster and carry more (will also open your options to safe end location)

I do NOT fit the typical demographic profile for a "prepper" (I'm a city-dwelling, nerdy, fashion-loving graphic design lady). BUT my father is an Eagle Scout and was a Desert Storm Naval Officer, and my maternal grandfather was definitely a "MacGyver" of sorts who taught me how to use tools and appreciate nature... so I've definitely instilled their shared value of self-sufficiency. I'm trying to build up at least a foundational knowledge and supply of survival gear/skills. I absolutely love this video, because my husband and I DO travel frequently for both business and leisure... and my grandma's house - where I know we should all go in a SHTF situation - is right within that 24-hour walking range from major airports in our area.

Another great training in case SHTF, you need to aclimate your body to the weather. If it is really hot (or cold) where you live, don't just jump from home AC, to car AC to office AC without ever experiencing the heat.

Oh my gosh; we're doomed. In the Las Vegas desert there isn't a stich of plant life other than an occasional cactus and Josua Trees. Not much in the way of water here either 😭

I have always heard that part of prepping is to go out and bury stashes along your route and around where you will be beforehand, and mark each place on a hand drawn map and dont tell anyone where your stashes are, except the ones going with you.

😮 I would definitely be up in a big oak and sleep. At least like 15 ft up. And have line to tie yourself in. And would it be helpful to have a little tarp like a camo type.

I would love to see info about what the elderly can do in order to stay put. Love this video!

I have a feeling most people arent going to have this stuff on them when shtf. The first objective for most people will probably be to aquire what they think they will need for this situation. I imagine most people will try to stay inside, but after awhile the evil within people will start to come out and things will begin to become dangerous no matter where you are to varying degrees.

So I have some good connects as I've been involved in this scene for about 30yrs. and someone in Counter Terrorism in the UK shared a story that they busted 3 groups of "Isis" Fighters w/EMP's one of which was estimated to be good for a 500 mile radius! Remember, this works vertically as well(planes)so take that into account. Prepare gentlemen because it's coming!

I'd like to reinforce the "Don't panic" theme of the video. Not only is it good for survival during the Apocalypse, but it is also considered an axiom of intergalactic travel along with carrying a towel.

Quarter Mile from the Edge of any Road is a good place to start.

Thank you for this education

I'm here in Phoenix AZ. Specifically, Peoria. I'd say our main concern is, of course, water. For our natural resources, we will have to drive to sedona or flagstaff where there is natural springs. What I expect locals living there will already be on standard protocol and also on survival mode. It would be difficult.
