      He wasn't emphasizing that it was his only one gun, he rarher told us that he had such gun which he lost - we don't know if it was his only gun or if he got some OTHER replacement.

      with a bit of practice it's possible to understand polish pretty well, but in czech there is a LOT of german influence and very little from other slavic languages (slovak was reconstructed based on czech)

      Regarding the wood burning stove, it's Carbon Monoxide, the silent killer, (Not Dioxide, CO2) that is the risk and the reason all gasses need to be sent up the chimney.
      Carbon Monoxide is x500 more efficient at attaching it's self to Red Blood Cells (haemoglobin) than Oxygen. So Blood Oxygen levels decrease with every breath that contains Carbon Monoxide.
      Carbon Dioxide is exhaled by humans (all mammals) and also used to put the bubbles fizzy drinks. If the CO2 were lethal no one would ever leave a pub alive.

    • @JH-lo9ut
      @JH-lo9ut Před 28 dny +2

      We humans have an acutely sensitive feel for co2. This is the feeling of "I can't get enough air", and the responce is triggered by the co2 levels in the lungs being too high. It is important to know that we can't accurately sence oxygen deprivation. This is why you can breathe helium or laughing gas until you go unconscious. We convert oxygen to co2 by breathing, but if you don't breathe in any oxygen, you won't produce any of that co2 that should trigger the suffocation responce.
      Yes, you will die from too much co2, but a person will cut their own feet off with an axe before succumbing to co2 poisoning. Try and hold your breath until you pass out, you just can't do it. (It is possible by hyperventilating first, but that is a way of cheating the responce by saturating your blood with oxygen)
      Carbon monoxide on the other hand, is even worse because not only does it not trigger a suffocation responce, but the gas binds to your blood and prevents you from taking up oxygen all together.

    Door has water stain 1/2 way up so has been sitting in water for a while which must have been higher than the duck boards on the floor .

      True. People have also died from carbon monoxide poisoning for ages too.
      Even a very mild case of carbon monoxide poisoning will make you slow, sluggish and dizzy.
      A poorly designed stove may be more dangerous than an open fire, because the open fire tends to die out, but the stove contains the heat better, keeping the embers burning even with a shortage of oxygen.
      It is pretty easy to make these trench dugouts air tight, by the use of plastic tarps. A traditional lean-to or a simple hut built above ground will always let some air in, just by the way they are built.
      One traditional type of shelter that can be almost completely air tight is an igloo, and they are notorious for causing carbon monoxide poisoning.

    Dear Paul, with the 'this is the real bug-out bag' segment you inspired me with a new way of thinking and got me to seriously prepare emergency supplies and medical aid supplies, which I have been very irresponsible about until now. I have 2 tiny boys in Japan, and the impending war with China, possible bombing, interdiction of trade including energy supplies, cyberwar, or earthquakes and tsunamis really called for better behavior from me, for years. We're in the process with my wife of preparing bags, stuffing them with all sorts of camping goodies, foodstuffs, tools, tarps and disposable raincoats, testing out emergency goods, buying powdered and instant tablet milk; but also stocking up on physical cash, rice, oil, peanut butter etc. Any day now there could be several more people alive in the world thanks to your videos.

    Fun fact: Freshly ground coffee wasn't widely available in the USSR, but freeze-dried coffee was. Most of it was of marginal quality, but it was cheap. Imported freeze-dried was often available at a premium. So freeze-dried coffee remains a staple in Russia today. This is because of logistical reasons in vast remote regions, but is often preferred by those that have access to the fresh product. It should be said that even the less expensive varieties are much better quality now and there was little variety at all in the "glorious Soviet Union".

    The smartest nutritional way to gain some edge is to ditch sugar, coffee and any other addictions. Keep peanuts which contain 50% fat and 20% protein. They are highly energy dense easy to contain and do not leak or rotten. Depending on candy is the worst thing you can do. Ditching the addictions give yourself best chance to survive in the hardest situation. Any even small excess mental and physical energy is welcome. The ketogenic diet helps to survive because you don't get constant sugar cravings. You already run on fat.

With that being said maintaining a keto diet in warfare is tremendously difficult. You need a good 2500 calories a day in those conditions and addictions are the only comfort you may have.

    What I would like to know is how far from the frontline this is taken. It looks like this setup took a while to get into this state. What would make sense to me is that either it is somewhere where the frontline does not change much, which means someone like this has some time to dig in something like this. If it is in a place where the frontline moves, it would have to be farther from the frontline. Or maybe it once was close to the frontline, but as it moved, the place stayed behind. But if that's the case, wouldn't this guy be ordered to move closer to the front line, in which case he'd be forced to abandon this little place.

    No military experience but lots of outdoors, alpine, climbing etc.
    My treat was chocolate biscuits in a hard box. Your treat my vary and it wasn't the biscuits but having one thing that wasn't squashed, crumbled or otherwise made as lifeless as possible. The little thing of one item not fu*ked up lol.

      Russia sent more than 15.6 million metric tons (mt) of Russian LNG to EU ports last year, according to data analytics firm Kpler, a slight increase from 2022 and a 37.7% jump compared to 2021. (REUTERS)
