My wife: babe we have to go the bomb just dropped. Me: okay, let me grab my selvedged jeans, goodyear welted boots, leather weekender bag, waxed jacket, darn tough socks, ... If I'm gonna go, imma go in style!!!
Numzaan! Looking forward to that one. My winter boots of choice for this scenario are on my feet right now because I had to walk the dog in the pouring rain: Haix British army boots. Not the specific cold weather version, but they’re waterproof and I know I can tramp all day in them with a pack on. Great choices on all the wool layers by the way. I think I have that same Icebreaker jacket.
Hey, thanks for the video! I love the idea of always thinking ahead. Even if the chances of the fallout is low, It is possible. It would get much colder where I live, in the winter. Negative degrees F. Boots you nailed it, any PNW boot. With the extreme cold I would need to stay away from cotton, unfortunately. Long wool base layer first, then a wool jacket. And then a hard shell GORE-TEX PRO coat over that. Pants is the exact same. Wool pants with a hard shell GORE-TEX PRO pant over that. All of my wool is soft and comfortable to the skin, from Weatherwool. Except my socks would be Darn Tough wool. Wool balaclava, and a wool Beanie. If it gets really cold around negative Fahrenheit, I may change coat and pants to Down Parka and Down Fluffy pants. Tent from Hilleberg, and sleeping bag from Featheres friends with comfort level of negative 60 F. Thanks again for a great upload! Cheers mate
My boot choice would be my new Wootten roughout Cameron toe boots. They’re awesome - although I’d like to resolve some tongue slip before I’d go (a bit annoying but I’m sure will be resolved easily).
Mostly agree with your choices. Though for boots, I would take the Nicks Overlander. It has an 8” height and V100 sole on the hnw last. Would be a proper boot for the end of times. For the backpack, I think I would go for a cordura/ballistic nylon bag, some great brands out there. The extra padded straps will be better when you’re walking extended distances.
On a complete sidenote: Have you ever tried boots by British manufacturerer WILLIAM LENNON? I bought several pairs way back in the 1980ies and they were still going strong - until I lost them in a recent removal. They are rugged, no-nonsense, made to last boots. Some of them are hobnailed and have semi-sprung soles. William Lennon is a heritage company dating back more than 125 years. And to this day they are not made in some Asian sweat shop but in a small factory, an old corn mill, in Derbyshire, England, using antiquated machinery dating back to the fifties. And they don't break the bank either, prices range from 125 to 250 GBP. The company has several websites. On one of them one can find details about their history.
@@adrianwalker2833 I worked as a builder”s labourer in the early building of Docklands in London in the late 70s/ early 80s and that was my go-to boot.
Man, you need a parka and toque at minimum, along with felt insulated boots, gloves and long underwear here in Canada to survive in winter conditions. Winter camping is a totally survivalist ordeal, but is done as recreation here.
Well, you just pushed me over the edge to ordering some Nick's x Parkhurst boots in brown waxed flesh. I should be mad at you for making me spend money, but I would have spent it somewhere anyway
I'd take a pair of Scarpa Delta walking boots. And a pair of lightweight trainers with an aggressive sole (I have several to choose from). However, even though I'm on the edge of the Scottish Highlands, I'd actually try and stay put as many, many people would flee to the Highlands and roads would become clogged and jammed, any remote accommodation would be taken over very quickly, food supplies would run out very quickly with so many people going to remote areas and people would end up fighting each other for limited resources. Plus the locals would be putting up the barriers to keep the invading masses away from their communities I've read that up to half the population would die if we lost electricity for a couple of weeks so I'd try and keep a low profile, use my own stocks of food, medicine, bottles of wine and water from the nearby river, for a few weeks which would see off most people and then use local knowledge of trails and paths to move quietly around areas that I know well and scavenge. You have far better chance of survival living in houses, being close to food and other resources and being able to move relatively quickly if required on pavements, streets and local paths rather than travelling cross country, particularly in wet and cold conditions. I'm sure the zombies will follow their food supply into the hills.
Teik, if the citizens of Kings Landing had simply followed your advice and not jammed into the Red Keep when Daenerys, Drogon, the Dothraki, the Northmen, and the Unsullied descended upon the city and Blackwater Bay...
I agree with the White's MP. I know everyobody wants to say Nicks with commado soles, but I think they're way to heavy and lug soles are way overrated. As soon as you walk in mud they get caked and flat anyway. Plus another pound of mud. Flat sole White's are all you need.
With all due respect, much like I said in the last video, I find myself disappointed with your disclaimer about the kufiya. It’s hard to be apolitical, especially during this period. I’ve always respected you saying “custodians of this land”, because you understand the concept of indigeneity and the effects of colonization. So, to wear a Palestinian kufiya right now is a political symbol, and I hope you embrace it, because my people are going through genocide.
