Survival gear dump! Easy multi-day sustainability!
zhlédnutí 12KPřed 28 dny
This is a run down of the gear I carry daily. Pack weighs in around 55 lbs and can sustain your needs for 2-3 days easy. In order to know what it is that your need or what fits you, you’ve gotta get up and go train! You will not do anything just by having watched it on CZcams. This is a baseline for your needs. This is simply what works for me as Iv used this gear for years. And while it’s high...

Grid-down,Emergency, and survival communication skills!

With the same home made antenna from previous videos, I’ll be making another contact 700 miles away. Using only the gear I brought to the field and relying on only a Plan set before the “emergency drill” and not using ANY Infrastructure. This is not relying on internet, satellites, cell towers . This is where training leads to… SUCCESS. So KEEP TRAINING! We will not rise to our expectations, bu...
Targeted Contact : Making contact with a homemade antenna 700+ miles away. Completely OFF GRID
zhlédnutí 60Před měsícem
Using the WX Field Guide to again build this 20m dipole and make a contact roughly 784 miles away. And not by chance mind you. This was scheduled. This was set with a PACE plan and lots of training. Using the homemade antenna in an NVIS configuration (even tho it’s scientifically not penetrating the D layer to bounce off the F layer it’s still set up perpendicular to the ground and seems to wor...
Jungle antenna DYI

Here we built a jungle antenna. I used the Off Grid WX Field Reference Guide https:/offgridweather.com) to help me with the formula needed in the field and got it done! We have to train our skills or we will fail when the time comes! Learn new things guys! Get off the couch and build this antenna set up! You can do it! You’ve just gotta try! If you need any help just reach out! I’ll respond bac...
Batoning wood with your knife.

Here I’ll show you how to process wood with only a knife as the cutting tool. This works best with a fixed blade that is full tang.

Targeted Contact
zhlédnutí 72Před 2 měsíci
Here we will go deep into the Appalachian mountains with no cellphone service and no internet to test gear for real life reviews In this series of scheduled contacts, I will attempt to make a preplanned contact over ham radio using a series of fallback strategies we compressed into a P.A.C.E plan. This will give us a better understanding on how to manipulate the gear we have to work for us in t...

Well said, well put, and very well done. And what you said...that's so amazing. Most people buy "stuff", but they never test it out. It's all in the wrapper still.
55 lbs... Can he survive 3 days... And the more you know all in one video... Wow
Awesome content brother! Very nice gear dump and the fact that you emphasized that this particular load out is for YOUR NEEDS ONLY, is outstanding!!
Great gear dump. 2 is 1, 1 is none… great thing to remember.
Why are you apologizing for the rain.
Haven’t finished watching, but I know a few ultra-light hikers that have packs come in about 1/2 this weight and they go for a week. Their gear is specialized and definitely not as hearty as your requirements. This isn’t to disparage what you’re showing but, just agreeing. 55 lbs should easily get you 3 days in the bush. If you can’t carry enough for at least 3 days, you’re doing something wrong.
how waterproof is the radio?
This seems to be geared more for a scout/recon than survival but to each his own! Thanks for the video!
The only thing I'll add is to use compactor trash bags instead
New subscriber here! Great gear dump. Can't wait to watch more.
Did I miss it or does he have absolutely no medical???
If you watch the end you’ll see the med kit there. It’s the IFAK case with a Red Cross on it from NAR. I didn’t get it recorded as I had it recorded and the rain fell out and I moved to the shop and lost track of where I was in the video. But yeah the med kits in the video. As I cover navigation the med kits right there.

Wow your comms are amazing. I go into wild roadless areas in Montana and central Idaho without comms and more minimal. Now im thinking im deficient without any way to communicate
Check out my IG and you’ll get all caught up my friend!
Now that makes good CommonCents! Great pack and presentation. Thanks for your positive contribution and ideas.
Thank you for your support!
Great video! Thank you for the knowledge!’
Thank you for following along!
Maybe I missed it between cooking and other family things but I didn't see a blanket or a change of socks. Maybe your AO doesn't dictate those items either. You are 100% correct that people need to walk the walk-talk is cheap.
My clothes are in the garbage bag towards the end. 2 of everything is in that bag. And right now it’s 60s at night so no blanket needed in my area. This will change come fall/winter.
@@UnPavedExpeditions makes sense! I love my Eberlestock as well, mine is the older version in the weird Chicom digital multicam they had for a little while. I did slap two 6 liter Savotta side pouches on mine. Hands down a ridiculously comfortable ruck!
Crayon Eric defintiely a marine😂 Thanks for talking about how to do coms. I really liked your bag review and I've been making my way through all your videos.
Thank you! And yes Eric is a grunt! Stick around! There is a lot more to come! Thanks for following along.
How many miles?
700+
One thing I've recently added is a pair of safety glasses. I was recently hiking with my pack and went into the woods and got smacked in the eye with a branch.
Gotta keep your head on a swivel! But yes sir. Having your eye poked out by a twinge or branch is a real thing! Safety first!
I also have a ft-857d and want to get a powerfilm panel I will mostly be using js8call but also phone for NVIS. I’m struggling to decide on the size that I need any insight? I already have a 12ah lifepo4
10w will keep the battery up while the 857 is in l receive mode only. Other than that you’ll be using more power than putting in at a given time BUT it will keep it topped off when your done using radio for say an emergency. Now if your into POTA I’d look at the 30w panel by Powerfilm.. it’ll keep it topped off while using on good condition days, it’ll also pack nicely in a pack for a hike too about the size of 2 xl Tshirts folded together.
Not into pota it will be used for targeted comms windows with known contacts & RX for information gathering. I was looking the 20,30,60 watt power films it’s too expensive to make a mistake buying the wrong one 🤦♂️
Let me correct myself. The 10w charges .5a and the 857 at idle draws .68 by my records. That won’t keep up with it BUT it does keep it topped off. I like it especially for the weight. And I’m not gonna be talking on my radio 24/7 at 100w and deplete my battery. Especially in a certain scenario. Now the 30w is another go to that I pick for overnights and long camping trips. It will keep your batteries topped off along with anything else you have , cellphone, power bank, ect ect. It charges 1.78a by my records. If I could only buy one. I’d pick the 30w for your application.
Thank you that helps with the decision
I know the Platypus don’t do viruses but iv had that filter for years and it is great, its gravity fed so you can get your 4 liters of dirty water and while your setting up camp it’s filtering into clean bag and if you want then you can put it through the Grail and it’s been plenty of water for the night for me many of times cooking, cleaning,Hygene, brushing teethe and of course drinking
Very good and I really like the fact that you point out that this loadout is for YOU and your skillset. Different needs for different folks!
Simple but effective preplanned authentication. Gonna have to look into that book. Obviously works well in wet conditions.
No under quilt for the hammock?
It’s 80F here where I’m at. No quilt is needed. As I stated at the end. The pack will change as seasons change. In the winter I’ll pack a wool blanket and a swagman roll.
Great video. Keep up the good work.
I can tell that I am going to be a fan as long as you keep putting out quality information, which I have no doubt you will! Thank you!
I do really appreciate the support my friend! I hope the contents helps someone out there
Nice exercise plan your work and work your plan. Was hoping to see that lil canned dipole. Sweet. Haven’t seen anything that small.
I’ll be showing it off in the future. I’ll have them for sale on my website too soon! At unpavedexpeditions.com
Good stuff. 🤙🏽
Highly impressed with you both on IG and this was an excellent video. Thank you for posting this! 73
Thank you brother. Just trying to help those that wanna be helped! I appreciate your support!
30 miles is where it starts working anything closer “won’t” work?
Anything closer I’d consider ground wave. Until you practice it enough to see a pattern in change if there is any. But for me iv not had the luck of knowing anyone in radio that could do it with me within 30miles. If I can get it tested this month I’ll report back to you and let you know the details of it !
Excellent video and training! Thank you!
Very nice! What were you using to check your swr?
It’s called a rig pro stick. You can get them off DX engineer or Amazon , even Giga parts I do believe.. pricey but a necessity, one building antennas.
@@UnPavedExpeditions awesome thank you! Great video by the way
🤝👍عالی
That is awesome. What’s your setup? I’ve been looking into getting started with HAM radio for survival/bugout comms but am still trying to figure out where to start. Thanks!
It’s a great and skill to have. And the most important in my opinion. I’d you can’t hear what’s coming then what are you going to run from? Check out my Instagram and you can see a lot more of this! Also my Website has a basic Comms class coming up! All the links are in my profile.
