I love how prepared you are. You truly practice what you preach. You always have the goods on you.
Hi Jason , I recently got myself an E bike and put onto it saddlebags. I love them , you should consider putting on a set !
I’m homeless and I’m well qualified to speak about this.
#1- A bicycle, get a cheap second hand bike and bomb proof it, High quality tires tube and liners, air pump and patches, removable bags, spray paint it to look like junk.
#2- a good reliable water filter, have a water key, water containers, a sharp punch.
#3- hard copy of a highly detailed city map.
#4- prybar, one like they use to change tires. It has a point on one end and round flat on the other.
#5- night vision, even if it’s a cheap one. If SHFT has blossomed there will be no lights at night.
Great tips!
@@hosgs14 agree
Or just leave the city now
I live 80% of the time in the woods or high desert. Mainly go in to resupply and wash house windows for coin. @@ManInTheWoods76
Yea, that's logical and realistic 🙄@@ManInTheWoods76
Octopus definitely 😅, sharks drown if they can't keep moving
Max Brooks zombie survival guide stated that the best mode of transport is a bicycle, it is mechanically simple, quiet, and requires nil fuel to run other than yourself. The best weapon was a crossbow. But my favourite weapon that can be carried on a plane as an improvised weapon is a padlock and a bandana.
Lock in a sock.. or D cell battery. or a can of soda. for more helpful improv. tips, watch prison story videos.
I suggest to always keep a lifestraw with each bike, even without SHTF, being able to hydrate without worry of contamination ingestion when stuck on the side of the road with a disabled bike.
Good Afternoon ! Looks like you & wifey had a nice outing. TAKE CARE..

this question has already been answered by the "Seattle Aquarium." OCTOPUS WINS
Hmmm. Good to know. Lol
Grizzly v Gorilla - did the Seattle Zoo answer this one?
Great video see ya on the next one
Great advice
Good video❤
It's nice to see you talking about a mindset and preparation versus gear that many people may not have or know know how to use
Well first of all I'm totally sick of the forest 3 and 3 is 2 and 1 is none crap. For small items that we carry it's always good to have some redundancy now of course with a vehicle we can only drive or ride or Pilot one vehicle at a time but in regards to malfunctions the best way to prevent a malfunction is to make sure that your vehicle is in top shape and to be careful when you use it. But a simple vehicle like a bicycle or a vehicle like a canoe or kayak that has no parts at all it's hardly prone to failure and even a bicycle can be fixed pretty quickly as long as you have parts and tools to keep it going which you're going to need anyway. So we should just prepare and assume mishaps will occur but not let that stop us from being well equipped and well supplied

Welcome to 30A
For water the back reservoir on a toilet is drinkable. My friend said he wont drink it. Just because of the sewer it goes too. But if i had too travel in a abandoned town im going too toilets.
Water in the toilet tank came from the same kind of tap that comes out of your kitchen sink. It's 100% drinkable. There might be a little grit at the bottom, but use a coffee filter to get that out and then run it through a Berkey or other filter if you want to.
@@nmr6988 Exactly. It's my reserve shtf water.
Great video! 🔥
Thanks!
You can open the valve on hose bibs on commercial buildings with a Sillcock Key--about $8.00 at Home Depot...
I would stock up on inner tubes or repair kit highly doubt we make tubes in the United States anymore
What does where it's made have to do with stocking up on them....?
Single speed mountain bikes may be the best mode of transportation because it doesn’t have all the moving parts of a bike with multiple gears.
🇦🇺😎👍Yep I just resubscribed agen agen 🙄
A water key is one of the easiest things to carry and can allow you to tap into the water system of buildings to get drinking water in an emergency. I've done it numerous times as a practice prep to see if it will work and it does.
CPR on a pumpkin- priceless!
You got the thumbs up for training some BJJ. Great video though :)
Octopus all day
Great video, brother. The shark is going down. He's no match for octo Ed. 😂😂
what brand of ebike please, r u in NW FLA
I have a HIBOY P6 and Vtuvia. I prefer the HIBOY
He's on 30A, where they filmed The Truman show
FOR THE ALGORITHM!!😁
That smokin' statue was very nicely similar to Rubenesque style.
Great video!👏👏👏 Go octopus go!
The ultimate survival vehicle is where fuel is abundant, and that would be the sun. I know you guys don't like to hear it but EV is the best when it comes to survival. With a good solar panel, it can run much farther than any other vehicle.
Average EV has 10-20kwh per 60mile range. Trying to get out even 10kwh per day in shtf... Illusion at best. I'd stick either to bicycle or simple non turbo diesel engine.our diesel lawn mower , while slow has near zero consumption, and it beats walking even if going only 10mph
@@ApocGuy And good luck finding gasoline anywhere long term. You might still find gasoline in the first few months, but who's going to deliver gasoline and run the oil rigs when SHTF?
@@MrDosonhai diesel can be done at home quite easily, given you have some chemicals. Not gonna work on modern stuff, but older models should work . I know because I've already done it.
@@ApocGuy "diesel can be done at home quite easily, given you have some chemicals". Ah yes, because you can find chemicals everywhere, like the sun above your head, right?
Thanks
Something that a bicycle provides that people may not consider 🚲🎒 You can put your bag on your bicycle and walk it this takes the load off you back and places it on the tires. This is useful in many situations where the terrain, damage to your bicycle or physical exhaustion prevent you from riding 👍
This video brought to you by Wazoo...and Olight! 😂
Using street signs while not perfect can be a good way to determine direction in an urban environment.
Really a strange city than you are here. It's looking as a fake city. The main part of the housses are all white, the car a re mainly black or white. A bit as a Barbie city.
It had better be a very, very, giant octopus .
Do you want to get out of urban areas as soon as possible in grid down situations the kind of people that are left are not the kind of people you want to be bumping into in the city
Octopus wins. It can use it's tentecles to jam up the sharks gills. Game over.
I never thought about using elevation as a means of surveying in a city. Good idea, although it would expose one to all eyes around at the same time.
Swimming pool water. Not sure what the PPM is in a pool, but our state allows up to 4 PPM in drinking water. Our boss man wanted to send the water out at 2 PPM. We usually kept it at 1.8 PPM and it still tasted and smelled like pool water. The PH should be right, assuming the pool is kept up. (around 8 on the scale) If a person had the right equipment, he could check the chlorine level and possible even use it to help disinfect other water.
Very god points of view like always !
But can i say someting. -If that is your bike you should take care to adjust saddle etc. to the right position for yourself... Man, that is not you bmx bike you rode when you were a kid 🙂...

Hey brother just gonna add a tip you left out, in the widerness the bark always grows on the outside of the tree. Lol
And most trees will be attached to the ground fwiw
I really think that it would not be that hard to survive Keith Urban.
The creepiest things in your video are the artworks :D
Good points! Thanks! Need to rethink my whole "never without" now that I moved to a different environment!
Glad it was helpful!
@@SurvivalDispatch30A is beautiful 🤣
Sandals aren’t top on my list for “ urban “ survival or walking ten miles .
SHARKAPUS
Octopus probably takes it. Grizzle v Gorilla huh who wins that one? ha
I’m going with grizzly.
Anybody got any affordable yet dependable brands on button compasses?
Suunto has great button compass, but those aren't cheap...
Wazoo has really good ones.
Octopus si more inteligent

#1 Urban Survival Skill: DONT BE IN URBANIA WHEN SHTF
So how do you personally predict when shtf? I mean so your not in a urban are when SHTF like you suggested?
@@yakfishin4912 decision making trees
@@SoCalPrepperOne
Be serious. You suggested it so explain it.
Your user name implies that you live in So Cal. I am in Nor Cal. This is earthquake country. It can go from happy sunny day, to life threatening situation here in less than fifteen seconds.
@@tahoemike5828
But he'll bro you should know in advance those quakes are coming
At least that's according to the guy above with his trees anyways
Silly nonsense. Word salad mumbo jumbo
