Yes Sir. Thank you for ALL that you do and your scenario videos are AWESOME and so are your little green men videos. God speed to you and yours ! THANK YOU for being our strength through all of this and our Teacher. God has truly blessed you with the gift to teach, inspire, and encourage and we Thank You and appreciate you for caring enough to share it with us. My family and I have been watching you for years. You are an inspiration to ALL of us out here. Thank you for your spiritual encouragement as well.
Youre a champ David! Ive watched since you started and I dont think I have ever disagreed with anything you have said.. 1st Gulf War Vet USMC! Rah! Keep em coming!
Dave, first off, thank you for your dedication to prepping for the prepper. I was wondering if you could make a video telling us how you got involved with the TV show "Doomsday Preppers"? How did they select you and Scott? Then after the show, you were one of the assessment judges for "Doomsday Preppers". How did all of that happen. Can you share some of this information with us. I know many would love to hear your story. Thank you again....especially for your Service to the USA.
The small batteries with the UV5R will last 2.5 hours or so with constant chatter on 2 meters. Not sure how long they has on FM only. Not need to thank anyone. Love your videos and thanks. I really liked your scenarios videos and glad to hear that you might be making more.
This morning I was in dress clothes and shoes which is rare. I grabbed a pair of socks and my best high top sneakers. No way I could walk in those dress shoes. I try to have all you have mentioned but this morning and stay mindful. I now have a winter clothing bag to grab set up for the cold weather.
I was thinking about a push scooter. We had ones with 10inch inflatable wheels when I was a kid. Fast on the flat and downhill walk up hill if you have to but will definitely get you somewhere with less effort faster.
Its a comfort knowing I am prepared with my bag and supplies I'm my Jeep. I work 35 miles from home and thankfully most of the commute is rural. I always like seeing what other people carry in their bags. Thanks for the video Dave.
Great video, perfect for everyone. Please keep your green men and scenario videos coming. Also some movement videos would be good also. Thanks for your help.
My get-home bag is a subcomponent of my disaster box in my vehicle. It also contains supplies for if I suddenly have to live deployed at the clinic or at the hospital, or if my vehicle gets stranded.
Thanks, Kentucky Girl for the question and thanks, southernprepper1 for answering it. I'm a truck driver that does mainly regional haul. Those videos gave me hope. Now I need to find a way to get in shape...
The scenario videos are extremely helpful for engaging those with short attention spans or who think prepping is goofy. I've shown them to a few people "for fun" and ended up answering lots of questions shortly after and more than a few are now into self reliance.
Thank you again for what you do. You are saving lives from a distance. Truly. Please keep it up.... I'm taking notes and learning to prep! I've gotten a bunch put together and add to it weekly...
I would pay for a patreon of more scenario videos, I loved those. They remind me of the old times of watching southernprepper1, he was the first CZcams channel I started following years and years and years ago. Such a great channel
I would add on top of that a not that small of a power bank and cable. Smartphone battery goes down fast and it will allow you to communicate and use other functions like maps, flashlight etc. They are not that heavy or expensive.
@@bobtomlinson6549 Jason, it would be mostly for all that porn you just have to consume every day. I knew you'll be reading my comment, and I do want you to survive.
Good Get Home load out. Suggestions for those unaware: Keep a pair of broken in Hiking shoes/Boots, long pants, shirt in trunk (for many of us we don't wear "Get home boots" or clothing to the office), Ensure your protractor is compatible to your maps. Civilian maps typically are not MGRS, they are Lat Long or UTM and a Mil GTA protractor won't work; Mark Routes on Map beforehand and scout Foot Routes. Folks need to preload their radios with regional Fed, State, Local Police, Fire, EMS, Emergency freqs, (Air/Maritime too). If wanted to go above & beyond; Your scenario entaios Cars stop, so assuming EMP, CME; prepare for a Nuclear incident by having an N95/P100 mask for fallout/dust/ minor chemical incident, and use with the poncho/gloves. Throw in a pack of Potassium Iodide Ki tabs for shelter in place for time waiting out distance/scenario dependent. I'm near DC so this a high threat scenario. If in SC if your upwind of Savanah River Site (Nuke Weapon, Fuel production). RADTriage stickers could help. Prepare for basics & expand & tailor to your area over time.
TYSVM!!!! I appreciate your views and especially the military mindset. Understanding the Why is extremely helpful. I desperately wanted to be in the Army like my Dac but was unable to. Thank you for all you do to educate us. God bless
I highly reccomend building up to this. I retired a year ago and began walking the dog. Now I'm carrying a 20 pound pack, doing 4 miles in a bit under 2 hours including stopping to water the dog. I've lost 50 pounds, quit smoking and reduced the amount of medications I am on. Even if S doesn't HTF or I don't get stuck on the road, I'm glad to be doing this. It feels like this is what I was made for.
HAHAHA! Where I live we can have 35 different weather "seasons" in one day! Snow, sun, hail, rain, hurricane like wind and repeat, repeat, repeat all day long!
Good video, SouthernPrepper1. A map and knowledge of an area is essential. Some places, it might be possible to follow the high-voltage electrical transmission lines home. A person would stay mostly off the roads. The residential and small business electrical lines usually follow the grid pattern of the roads and streets. ......... The high-voltage lines cut across public and private lands in more direct routes. The electrical lines like irrigation canals are indicated on quality maps. ... +A man doesn't want to get into the same field with a bull or stallion.
A few years ago I had a bol that I could find following the high lines. Careful if u have fillings n your teeth. They’ll heat up if your too close and it hurts real bad.
My lungs are shot from high octane exhaust so running is out, but im good to go for rucking; baseline 5 mile with 110+lbs full line gear is under 2hrs. Needless to say footcare is up there on my priority list. Another great thing with head lamps is if you have to travel at night but want to keep your light signature low is strap it to your thigh. Keeps the light lower do its harder to be seen but still lights your path plenty well, and doesn't give any weird aura glow in your eyes like it does on your head without a billed hat. Secondary light would then be used for a directional light.
Thank you for this video! I have a much larger kit in the car, but I was wanting to downsize it into a more compact get home kit. This video gives me a great baseline to tailor my smaller kit on. Thanks again!
People are physiologically designed to 'push' things; NOT pull something for a long distance. There are items that can be pushed. SothernPrepper1 has a recent video ~MUST HAVE ITEM...If bugging out by foot~ It's a Hand Truck/Dolly. .... A 'deer/animal' cart used for hunting, might be better. [Even pushing a baby-buggy would be easier than pulling a wagon home.] Maybe of interest see Wikipedia: Mormon handcart pioneers. The Mormons had 'push/handcars' that could be pushed or pulled. +They organized into ~>Companies. Wikipedia: = "The handcart companies were organized using the handcarts and sleeping tents as the primary units. Five people were assigned per handcart, with each individual limited to 17 pounds (7.7 kg) of clothing and bedding." (The Company was supplemented by a wagon pulled by oxen for more gear.) ...... [Surely, the person writing the Wikipedia article NEVER spent a day ~pulling something around.] People are physiologically designed to 'push' things. ...... ..... Though obviously, a 'Company' of people would have to both 'Push and Pull' the handcarts over the more difficult terrain for a ~1,300 miles (as the birds fly!). The handcarts are designed to ~push; look at the designed. The pioneers were tough in the old days; combat ready tough.
Wow, you made me feel good. I have all of that in my get-home bag except the ham radio. If the phone works I have FM radio, maybe internet for info. Scavenging the car / office before heading home is in my plan, also. Lots of good info on this vid.
Base line is a outstanding point , everything depends on your physical fitness level , your videos like you say preparation and equipment are different for everyone .
No military experience here, but have done a 20 mile night hike on the railroad tracks just for fun, without any gear. It's very peaceful. What do you think about storing an E-bike in the trunk, or bed of the trunk? There are some collapsible models available. Some get 40-50 miles using pedal assist. You could bring a couple extra batteries.
I keep a small backpack in my car based on the season. I am lucky to work only a mile away from my home. But just in case I am a little farther away I keep it. In the winter i always have extra set of clothes in there as well.
i also have to travel very far everyday driving because it's my job, i picked up a nice big wheeled hand pull golf bag carrier years back cheap at a garage sale and have it set up to help with a possible long walk, it works great on the road(as long as it's safe i.e. the start of shtf and it hasn't become dangerous) railroad tracks and trails. it does get kind of wabbly going off trail though. it's in sections so if needed to drop quickly i can grab the lighter bag and bolt on foot, and then long scenario's can be thought. the good thing i like about that little cart is that it folds down and doesn't take up much room and also durable enough for some weigh. have it also set up and fastened to pull from shoulder straps to keep hands free for east walking, the whole thing helps save on my back from a heavy pack for as long as possible.
Cheap soft water storage option: KFC family meals include a 64 oz bag of soda. After the original use, it makes a decent portable way to store water. It is pretty thick plastic. And it will make your buddies laugh.
not sure you could remove the sugar even with heavy rinsing and cleaning from the plastic which could leave bacteria behind. for $4 you can get a case of water at any hardware store.
Survivor filter collapsible canteens. You can get a two pack (1 liter each canteen) for about $10. Sawyer filters fit perfect on top. Used the crap outta mine and are still good.
In 2003 when the East coast grid went down, I was at work, 25Km from home. Fortunately I got a ride 90% of the way and took a cab the remainder. I often think back to that time and what I would have done if I hadn't of gotten the ride. In an urban environment, cash is king. Many cabs gouge during such events. I always try and have several hundred in cash on me at all times for such purposes. Also, as far as food and water, there are stores everywhere along the way and once again cash is king in a power outage.
After watching your video, yeah it makes you wonder...What if I had to walk home from work....I'm close enough...there's not any shady areas I would feel the need to be armed. I will say this, pack as light as you can and take only what you need.
I rarely go more than 20-25 miles from home and I keep an electric scooter in my van wherever I go. It has a range of over 40 miles and a top speed of about 25 miles per hour. I can easily get home in less than an hour and that means I don't need much in the way of emergency supplies.

Kjv Bible read romans through Philemon those books of the Bible were rotten by Paul the apostle to the gentiles . For by grace are ye saved thru faith and that not of yourselves , it’s a gift of God not of works lest any man should boast. And no Paul did not write the book of Hebrews as some kjv bibles may side note say. All of his books he wrote , he clearly pens in them that they are written by my hand, Paul. Paul’s gospel is a grace gospel. The other books in the New Testament are written to the Jews , Matthew , mark, Luke, John , hebrews , James Peter are the Jewish gospel . They include believing on Christ and works to be saved . If what I have told you here sparks any interest , great. If you want to talk , contact me anytime . Terry meals . I comment here on my favorite prepper channel sp1
A great get home tool you might come across on your way home, a bike. A bike can easily triple your speed and make it much safer to stay on roads and highways. Bikes are laying everywhere and most all people have them. Carry $200 extra cash in your get home bag and you’ll find someone who will sell you a bike that’ll get you home
Cardio and carrying capacity should be a priority to train for us preppers.

After watching your video, yeah it makes you wonder...What if I had to walk home from work....I'm close enough...there's not any shady areas I would feel the need to be armed. I will say this, pack as light as you can and take only what you need.
Good information 👏👍
I rarely go more than 20-25 miles from home and I keep an electric scooter in my van wherever I go. It has a range of over 40 miles and a top speed of about 25 miles per hour. I can easily get home in less than an hour and that means I don't need much in the way of emergency supplies.
60 years old, Stage IV Leukemia, daily oral chemotherapy. 75#s overweight due to chemical imbalances from chemo. Up until December I was running 3.3 miles < 25 minutes w. 45# ruck.
Side effects of chemo have nearly crippled me, sadly. But my ass remains this side of the grass... so it's a start.
Kjv Bible read romans through Philemon those books of the Bible were rotten by Paul the apostle to the gentiles . For by grace are ye saved thru faith and that not of yourselves , it’s a gift of God not of works lest any man should boast. And no Paul did not write the book of Hebrews as some kjv bibles may side note say. All of his books he wrote , he clearly pens in them that they are written by my hand, Paul. Paul’s gospel is a grace gospel. The other books in the New Testament are written to the Jews , Matthew , mark, Luke, John , hebrews , James Peter are the Jewish gospel . They include believing on Christ and works to be saved . If what I have told you here sparks any interest , great. If you want to talk , contact me anytime . Terry meals .

Yes do scenario videos again!
A great get home tool you might come across on your way home, a bike. A bike can easily triple your speed and make it much safer to stay on roads and highways. Bikes are laying everywhere and most all people have them. Carry $200 extra cash in your get home bag and you’ll find someone who will sell you a bike that’ll get you home

I picked up a couple of safety glasses that are bifocals to have a backup to my "readers ". Any major supply store has them.
