What's strange is just in a short few years we went from the normal world to watching videos on prepping and how to defend yourself for riots and civil wars
A home vacuum former for plastics might be a good home based industry for protective gear. Get some cheap plastic barrels and cut them up into sizeable pieces to vacuum form them. Layer 2-3 formed sheets together (chest shaped) with Kydex rivets.

Something to consider for knife attacks is. Often there is no warning. Some people dont even realise they have been stabbed until the adrenaline wears off. Its not like most self defence demos where they wave a knife around threatening you. They keep it hidden. Then suddenly rush in. Also seems like there are a lot of people about with machetes in the UK. Which is far more obvious. I think some kind of protection on your forearms might be the best defence. I dont know for sure, that's just my thoughts on that one. Running away is probably a better idea, but if your forced to defend yourself

UK "knife" laws. They cover not only knives and blades, but "offensive weapons" in general, and the classification of offensive is subjective to the circumstances of the individual carrying. They accomodate "tools of the trade" IE, a chef with an 8" kitchen knife, or a carpenter with screwdrivers, stopped in the street would be far less likely to land in trouble than an unemployed kid in a tracksuit would. The smart man has add-ons to make their situation believable - want to carry a knife in the car? Make it a nice roll of kitchen knives. Want to carry a bat? Chuck a glove and ball in the footwell too.

Porcelain tile, reinforced with steel mesh wire, high strength construction adhesive, wrapped in layers of denim, gorilla tape, and spray on rubber. Has stopped every common pistol projectile I've tried. To defeat 5.56 you need to double up the porcelain, but that becomes very heavy.
@johndoe-so2ef hardness of the porcelain is generally the biggest factor in a failure. I recommend hardness levels of at least 4 to get the desired results. Also use a single piece, preferably a 12" square shaped to size. Using smaller scales to cover the same area doesn't transfer the energy well. I've done a lot of tests with this setup, and for pistols, it has performed well.

It's pretty much it with a bmx helmet and safety glasses. As a hockey player... Protection is key and can be weaponized as I've seen 👀 stay safe in these trouble times of ours.
I honestly believe we are on the brink of civil war here in the UK, We have a weak government who have imported the 3rd 🌎 I’ve been prepared for several years. Tomorrows job is checking and restocking our food cache. I’ve often thought about communication (mobile phone ect) I may have to blow the dust off the old cb radio. Stay safe 🇬🇧
''I honestly believe we are on the brink of civil war here in the UK'' With what, we've been disarmed gradually since the early 1900's to the point that vitually everyone has effectively been disarmed.
If it came to civil war, it would probably be a real short civil war. But the loss of capability would be tremendous. Huge disruptions in the military and state ability to function.
If you live here and you think we're on the verge of civil war, you really need to get a sense of proportion. Compare what's going on now to the Brixton riots, the Poll Tax riots, or the Troubles in NI. The latter was the closest things we've had to genuine civil conflict and it was still absolutely nowhere near being a civil war. Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia; those are civil wars, and frankly it's offensive to the poor bastards who caught up in those conflicts to pretend our trivial problems are remotely like theirs.
@@williamcurley worse is yet to come. The Irish are certainly well rehearsed in civil disorder. The UK is transitioning in to civil disobedience due to the unrelenting pressure.
When i need body armor, i usually use old magazines taped to my body. I paid 8 bucks a piece for those babies back in the day, may as well get my money's worth.

Cutting board, wrapped in a cloth, and inserted into the laptop sleeve compartment of a backpack, worn either on your back or your front. The helmet and other items can be stored inside the larger backpack compartment until needed.
@@ZergleJerk Yes 👍 I suppose the minimum you'd need would be a vest, just to cover the torso. The arms and hands are not immediately life threatening if slashed.
@@jeffreybarton1297 oh yes they are. You have arteries in those arms, those things leak blood like a hose if cut, also armpits are really really vital, I'd say a T-shirt size mail at least
A lot of the medieval enthusiasts use greatcoats as Brigantines (thick padded coats). The coarse, strong cloth is thick, hot, and more protective than hardened leather. If it has a nice collar or hood it'll give good neck protection. It's lighter than maille, cheaper, blends in better, and can be made into a coat of (internal) plates put bits of steel or cutting board in the liner, and make the sleeves and cuffs come down to your knuckles.
@@thesayxx Yes, it's possible for an attack to hit a major artery in the arms, but I'd say it was much less likely than getting slashed on the outer arms. An armpit hit is possible, if the attacker knew his stuff. Ideally you'd have full arms, too. Trouble is you might end up getting fed up with the weight and trouble and not bother wearing it. The T shirt is a good compromise, as you say. Pity the neck is not covered. Maybe a kevlar scarf could be worn, if such a thing exists.
If I were in the UK, I’d warm 2 of those plastic cutting boards in my oven until they became flexible, then form them to my front and back. Trim to fit with jigsaw. Drill and lace thru the sides= custom fit armor.
I knew a medic in the Army, who always carried tampons and thick maxi pads, in his medic bag. The tampons were shoved into bullet holes to reduce bleeding, and maxi pads were used for blood absorbent pads for larger wounds.
Tampons wont do much when you have a bullet hole. you need packing gauze. You usually pack a few meters of it into the wound and bandage it tight so the gauze stops the bleeding. Tampons are just too small, you are better off packing strips of your T-shirt into the wound, than a tampon.
Tampons have been pretty much abandoned as a combat medicine myth. They just don't have the volume to pack the wound cavity. You can keep up to date at Popo Medic.
@@thesayxx Like @thesayxx said, that’s most likely not going to work. A much larger volume of absorbent material is needed. Drop a tampon into a large bowl of water. Essentially, if a wound needs packing, you need a lot more material
There is such a thing as "TAKEN" and like in OZtralia that is just what they did .. they TOOK our rights and are still proceeding to with a bow hunting ban in SA and Tasmania. What has been started will never stop unless challenged in the most convincing ways...
keep in mind there are very few police in the uk that are trained to or have guns most have tasers and batons. the same stuff that would work on cameras also works on face shields, oil mixed with paint and sand does great. also did anyone else know that the standard sized marble is roughly the same size as a paint ball
If all protesters collectively stop going to work, you will achieve more than through any protest, riot, or other act of disobedience. Determine your group’s value to the decision-makers and strategically withhold it.

A little off topic, but I don’t understand why more people (especially subscribers) don’t give videos a Like. If people appreciate and agree with you they should support you and all it takes is a Like, which helps you keep making content they agree with. So weird, it’s like they are too lazy or afraid to say “yes, I agree with this”.
I've made ye olde cutting board body armor before. Alternately, an old inmate and jail riot veteran, once told me about national geographic magazines. Taping a few around your midsection And extremities will stop the staby stab and possibly arrows.
Just as a point of interest, there are around 500,000 shotgun certificate holders and 160,000 firearms license holders, with roughly 600,000 fire arms and 1.4M shotguns in private ownership in the UK, handguns are very highly restricted. Civil war, unlikely, civil unrest, definitely, but it will be so polite!
@@mikechevreaux7607 In the UK you need a separate permission on your section 1 firearms license, different from the shotgun certificate to purchase slugs, the largest shot size is LG or 000Buck. to be honest, would anyone want to get hit with a skeet round, no thanks
The U.S. has about 400 million Fire arms, and an estimated 40 million of them are AR-15's I actually believe the AR-15 estimate to be low, we can also buy level IV military body armor except for in a few states that have banned it...the ridiculous thing is that the cities and states with the strictist cum laws have the highest rate of crime.
Anything you carry for defence in the uk will be classed as an offensive weapon by the police we aren't ment to carry a pocket knife if the blade locks even though it's a safety feature
you get arrested if you walk around with a flat drive... We have laws but the justice system doesn't follow them.. they just do what they like. That's why we can't sue companies etc like they can do in the USA. CZcams will remove this comment because it doesn't follow their agenda.
Archery practice isn't required in the UK, like it was in the days of Richard the Lion-Hearted but it is legal. Crossbows are also legal for those 18 and over in the Old Country.
Any item can be considered weapons possession in Canada or the U.K depending in what context you are caught with it. If you say shelf defense you will be arrested for carrying a screw driver
You're missing the most important lesson from history: SHIELDS. Before any worn armour, before weapons, get a galvanised bin lid or a BBQ lid and then the tool you have the most experience using be that a hammer or a kitchen knife. The best all round? A stout umbrella is hard to beat as both a poker and a 'shield' that provides concealment not cover.
If you don't have many tools and need to put holes in hard plastic A knife or screwdriver heated till hot as you can get it with a lighter, pushed in hard and twisted works well.
You're giving some very useful advice. Bill Mount mentioned that after the French Revolution was over it was actually hard years for a decade before things got reestablished. We always think about the period leading up to, and soon afterwards, but a long-term view is going to be helpful for planning what remains.

And I'm pretty sure I was subscribed to You like 10 years ago but for some reason I wasn't anymore.
Either way, great video and You're looking good, man! :)
Like that beard haha
3:34 It's HDPE you can also mould and shape it with heat.
That was one of your most thoughtful videos yet.tganks for posting.
There is a channel called tech this out meow the very smart guy has been making homemade body armor for a while and can stop 7.62x39 ammo
Hope people in the UK see this video they will need it

It's not ridiculous at all... Motorcycle protection will work great and be concealable. Knees, hips, shoulders, elbows... A good pair of boots and gloves. Cargo pants and a good jacket. It's pretty much it with a bmx helmet and safety glasses. As a hockey player... Protection is key and can be weaponized as I've seen 👀 stay safe in these trouble times of ours.

''I honestly believe we are on the brink of civil war here in the UK'' With what, we've been disarmed gradually since the early 1900's to the point that vitually everyone has effectively been disarmed.
Better to have it and not need it, as the saying goes...
If it came to civil war, it would probably be a real short civil war. But the loss of capability would be tremendous. Huge disruptions in the military and state ability to function.
If you live here and you think we're on the verge of civil war, you really need to get a sense of proportion. Compare what's going on now to the Brixton riots, the Poll Tax riots, or the Troubles in NI. The latter was the closest things we've had to genuine civil conflict and it was still absolutely nowhere near being a civil war. Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia; those are civil wars, and frankly it's offensive to the poor bastards who caught up in those conflicts to pretend our trivial problems are remotely like theirs.
@@williamcurley worse is yet to come. The Irish are certainly well rehearsed in civil disorder. The UK is transitioning in to civil disobedience due to the unrelenting pressure.
Brilliant video - thanks from the Uk

Thanks for all your tips that we never thought of!
Chain mail is pretty great. Once you get used to the added weight, it can be worn under a coat, and will protect against most knives.
Its also sort of cheap. You just have to be careful and buy the right kind (and about 5 minutes of googling will tell you that.)
@@ZergleJerk Yes 👍 I suppose the minimum you'd need would be a vest, just to cover the torso. The arms and hands are not immediately life threatening if slashed.
@@jeffreybarton1297 oh yes they are. You have arteries in those arms, those things leak blood like a hose if cut, also armpits are really really vital, I'd say a T-shirt size mail at least
A lot of the medieval enthusiasts use greatcoats as Brigantines (thick padded coats). The coarse, strong cloth is thick, hot, and more protective than hardened leather. If it has a nice collar or hood it'll give good neck protection. It's lighter than maille, cheaper, blends in better, and can be made into a coat of (internal) plates put bits of steel or cutting board in the liner, and make the sleeves and cuffs come down to your knuckles.
@@thesayxx Yes, it's possible for an attack to hit a major artery in the arms, but I'd say it was much less likely than getting slashed on the outer arms. An armpit hit is possible, if the attacker knew his stuff. Ideally you'd have full arms, too. Trouble is you might end up getting fed up with the weight and trouble and not bother wearing it. The T shirt is a good compromise, as you say. Pity the neck is not covered. Maybe a kevlar scarf could be worn, if such a thing exists.
If I were in the UK, I’d warm 2 of those plastic cutting boards in my oven until they became flexible, then form them to my front and back. Trim to fit with jigsaw. Drill and lace thru the sides= custom fit armor.
I knew a medic in the Army, who always carried tampons and thick maxi pads, in his medic bag. The tampons were shoved into bullet holes to reduce bleeding, and maxi pads were used for blood absorbent pads for larger wounds.
Tampons wont do much when you have a bullet hole. you need packing gauze. You usually pack a few meters of it into the wound and bandage it tight so the gauze stops the bleeding. Tampons are just too small, you are better off packing strips of your T-shirt into the wound, than a tampon.
Tampons have been pretty much abandoned as a combat medicine myth. They just don't have the volume to pack the wound cavity. You can keep up to date at Popo Medic.
@@thesayxx Like @thesayxx said, that’s most likely not going to work. A much larger volume of absorbent material is needed. Drop a tampon into a large bowl of water. Essentially, if a wound needs packing, you need a lot more material
quick clot & gauze
Guys, come on, do you really think he would only be carrying that?
Hello from the UK, excellent video.
Bet they wish they had all those rights they gave away.
William Wallace was right 🤔
There is such a thing as "TAKEN" and like in OZtralia that is just what they did .. they TOOK our rights and are still proceeding to with a bow hunting ban in SA and Tasmania. What has been started will never stop unless challenged in the most convincing ways...

keep in mind there are very few police in the uk that are trained to or have guns most have tasers and batons. the same stuff that would work on cameras also works on face shields, oil mixed with paint and sand does great. also did anyone else know that the standard sized marble is roughly the same size as a paint ball
That's GOOD to know! Never thought about shooting marbles

If all protesters collectively stop going to work, you will achieve more than through any protest, riot, or other act of disobedience. Determine your group’s value to the decision-makers and strategically withhold it.
@@adude3179 so you opt to lose your job over what your government is doing.... right...
@@rogerwood5228 I understand your point, but people not willing to commit to their cause is big reason they can never get any results.
@@nameredacted6111 that's not committing to your cause, that's just losing your job and focusing your efforts foolishly. Your action is a tantrum tantamount to that of a child and far from constructive.
It worked well for the trucker protests in canada they sorta failed still but boy it opened many eyes about the governments true intentions. Trying to label peaceful assembly as terrorists backfired greatly don't feed into the trap they want the two sides to fight giving reason for government to take extreme measures and law making. Only making the machine more powerful. Totally agree stop working and paying taxes throw it back to the politicians
@@rogerwood5228 So what do you prepose?
i love the seriousness with a hint of satire.
you're helping the UK while also shitting on them XD.

amazing, i started following cody while building a post apocalyptic cosplay and now i have a video on diy body harmor that's amazing youtube don't think nothing wrong about this video huh no demonetizing ok? right
it's just cosplay tips!
Great ideas here, as always. I like the motorcycle kneepad solution for my kit. I need new knee pads anyways. Thank you sir!
As for offensive weapons, the millwall brick still works and is disposable. Roll up the newspaper and put some water on it.
A little off topic, but I don’t understand why more people (especially subscribers) don’t give videos a Like. If people appreciate and agree with you they should support you and all it takes is a Like, which helps you keep making content they agree with. So weird, it’s like they are too lazy or afraid to say “yes, I agree with this”.
Right, so easy, we get free vids. They get a thumbs up. Seems like a simple and easy transaction
It’s laziness.
I always reopen the video and hit like and make a comment if I forget.
Have you stopped to think that maybe it's because people don't like the video?

I've made ye olde cutting board body armor before. Alternately, an old inmate and jail riot veteran, once told me about national geographic magazines. Taping a few around your midsection And extremities will stop the staby stab and possibly arrows.
Just as a point of interest, there are around 500,000 shotgun certificate holders and 160,000 firearms license holders, with roughly 600,000 fire arms and 1.4M shotguns in private ownership in the UK, handguns are very highly restricted. Civil war, unlikely, civil unrest, definitely, but it will be so polite!
IF True, Shotguns Can Use Buck Shot, And Slugs.
@@mikechevreaux7607 In the UK you need a separate permission on your section 1 firearms license, different from the shotgun certificate to purchase slugs, the largest shot size is LG or 000Buck. to be honest, would anyone want to get hit with a skeet round, no thanks
The U.S. has about 400 million Fire arms, and an estimated 40 million of them are AR-15's I actually believe the AR-15 estimate to be low, we can also buy level IV military body armor except for in a few states that have banned it...the ridiculous thing is that the cities and states with the strictist cum laws have the highest rate of crime.
Asking for a friend, are hacksaws restricted? Also interesting project involving a couple pieces of black water pipe, an end cap and piece of nail.
America has more firearms in the hands of private citizens than the armies of Europe, GB and Canada combined.
The cutting board is absolute genius mate thanks as will be making one of these vests
Man, Cody's fired up lol
Anything you carry for defence in the uk will be classed as an offensive weapon by the police we aren't ment to carry a pocket knife if the blade locks even though it's a safety feature
you get arrested if you walk around with a flat drive...
We have laws but the justice system doesn't follow them.. they just do what they like.
That's why we can't sue companies etc like they can do in the USA.

We were never very armed anyway… the odd rifle which we still have, but no handguns/pistols etc
Archery practice isn't required in the UK, like it was in the days of Richard the Lion-Hearted but it is legal. Crossbows are also legal for those 18 and over in the Old Country.
Any item can be considered weapons possession in Canada or the U.K depending in what context you are caught with it. If you say shelf defense you will be arrested for carrying a screw driver

You're missing the most important lesson from history: SHIELDS. Before any worn armour, before weapons, get a galvanised bin lid or a BBQ lid and then the tool you have the most experience using be that a hammer or a kitchen knife.
The best all round? A stout umbrella is hard to beat as both a poker and a 'shield' that provides concealment not cover.
So you didn't watch the video
was hoping for a video like this
God bless us all ❤❤❤
Stacked cookie sheets or layered pizza pans will make decent shield

If you don't have many tools and need to put holes in hard plastic A knife or screwdriver heated till hot as you can get it with a lighter, pushed in hard and twisted works well.
You're giving some very useful advice. Bill Mount mentioned that after the French Revolution was over it was actually hard years for a decade before things got reestablished. We always think about the period leading up to, and soon afterwards, but a long-term view is going to be helpful for planning what remains.
Will do my best. God be with us.
