@@LiveReady I must admit...I binge watched a BUNCH of your vids! Including the ones you mentioned. I'm a South African that came to Vanuatu early March 2020 as a fishing guide. Then a week later Covid was an official pandemic and the world and this country shut borders...As tourism obviously ended I was soon to find myself out of a job. I had been backsliding as a Christian for about 10 years at that stage, but the pandemic awoke my fear of death and I realised that the signs of the times are saying Jesus is coming soon and I need to get my house in order. Repented and gave my heart back to the Lord. Then decided to look around in this country for missionary opportunities. God gave me just that and I have been a teacher and maintenance person at a Christian and special needs school that forms part of a much bigger medical mission. The borders of Vanuatu has only just reopened...since March 2020!! These people were very scared of covid, whether natural or man made. In the past almost 3 years I have discovered the prepping world and have been procuring gear, (Online only, as I am stuck on a tiny Island), as God provides funds, but also studying survival, reading books on it, and testing gear when it arrives here...about 6 months after purchase! I have learned patience 😂 Back to the point of this overly long response, I miss home, Sedgefield in fact, and finding not only a South African, but a female at that, with such knowledge AND tying it to the Bible was an absolute treat! Seeing my fellow citizen of country and Kingdom, share such great info with a higher or more clear and concise approach than many of the most renowned prepper/survivalists on KZread, this was a treat! Keep up the great work, you have a teaching gift. I am rejoining a youth ministry in South Africa next year, yes I can finally go home now, I was asked to be in charge of many camps. Father and son camps, how to be a Godly man or woman, lots of Bible study and object lessons from nature, with the aim of connecting the youth with their Bibles and Jesus etc. I plan to incorporate survival into all the camps, let me know if you would be interested in doing some training, especially on the camps where I have a bunch of girls. It would be very good for them, a wake-up in fact, to see another female believer out-do all the boys in the outdoors. God bless Nelis

Fires, flood, drought, famine, earthquakes... those are all every day occurrences in this world, it helps to have a bag that you can grab and go. Thanks for the comment. C
Can’t go wrong with a Mora knife
I'll go with leather jacket. It's wind, water and fireproof. It may not lightweight but i think it will last long and for all seasons. I agree with you. When i thought about what jacket i need to go with, God gave me a leather jacket. I got it from a friend, her boss suddenly handed over it. He doesn't want to keep it since one pocket's button is gone. And he wore it few times only. About foods, i think i'll go with a pack of emergency food/boat ration (when it's impossible to cook), dried beef or jerky, beef floss, oats, cheese, chocolates, beans (if it's possible i can plant), candies, coffee &tea, raisins, salts, salted dried fish and canned foods. For shelter i probably will go with tarp. I keep a small hand pumped flashlight. So when all batteries have gone i still have light source at night although it's a bit noisy. The rest is still undecided yet.

Hi there! The important thing is to think things through as you have done. Considering that you'll need warm clothes, food and a light source is vital. I like your idea of taking foods that you can plant. It's very difficult to carry gear and food with you though and I would leave tinned foods behind for the most part. They add a lot of weight. It's not a bad idea to keep one tin in your bag in order to get yourself through the first 24 hours though. It sounds like you really like your jacket. It's great that you know your gear and are comfortable in it. Just add a cheap baselayer and polar fleece to make sure you have some layers for cold weather. C

I love my Mora knife, very versatile and easy to hold. I also like the Opinel folding knives available in at any different sizes to fill in the gap for a larger knife at a very good price point. Camp towels make good cloths that dry very quickly and aren’t expensive. Cotton balls with Vaseline make good fire starters and both also serve as part of your first aid kit. My go-to back-country lantern is a UNO candle lantern. It is compact and very easy to use with decent light. I also always carry an emergency whistle that I string to my pack shoulder strap and put the whistle in my pocket. Know the SOS sequence. Twig stoves (approx $20 USD) are a good thing to have to boil and cook with - you just need a handful of twigs and sticks - they burn smokeless after they get burning. One thing you didn’t mention is female sanitation. A small backpacking (or garden) hand trowel, a female urinary device, a few wet-wipes or face tissues, and a “kula cloth” or equivalent is game changing for any sort of long term evacuations/back-country camping. For those who menstruate, they also make re-usable sanitary pads that are silver infused that are comfortable and easy to use and clean with some camp soap. Diva cups are also an option if they work for you.

Good Evening Clarise .. A good share thank you 👍😊. As you asked in a another video, I am taking a look at your Bug Out Presentations and you seem to have bases covered .. kudos to you 👍. Another thing .. you questioned me on the meaning of the term 'Stage Yellow'. I did respond. When you get a gap, I hope that it answered your query. Budget Items .. some thoughts that came to mind during the Video * The Mylar Emergency Blanket. My experience is that they are generally .. depending, 'once only' items. They are pretty flimsy and once a tear starts, it's over. Also, once opened, they appear to 'grow' way beyond their actual size and repacking them 🙄 .. magic! 😁. A Car Windscreen Dashboard Sun Protector works well. It's highly reflective, fairly body size and quite robust. Also, there are dedicated 'Space Blankets' out there that are far more robust (and reusable) than the thin Mylar version. I got my first back in 1968 when doing my Military National Service and they're still around. That was 'retired' and replaced in about '75 (still have it .. showing it's age somewhat .. like me 😏) and got another in the 80's. * Brown Lentils. Excellent go-to nosh. Even better in my opinion, is Buckwheat. It cooks quicker (50/50 buckwheat/water) .. 12 min and you're good to go. I 'believe' that it has 17% protein in it. It mixes well with other foodstuff and is an excellent addition to Soups and such. Soups and Stews .. THE survival food .. and Peanut Butter. Never forget Peanut Butter 😁. Lars from 'Survival Russia' swears by Buckwheat (look him up if you haven't already. He lives in rural Russia in the middle of nowhere and knows his stuff .. no armchair survivalist he is). Buckwheat it always in my cupboard. * Duct Tape. Used as a Fire Starter. Not all Duct Tape is equal in this regard. You Tuber, David West, a Fundi on anything to do with getting a fire going has done some good work on this. He recommends that one tests the brand of Duct Tape they have before commiting it as a Fire Starter. Until next time, take care .. Tommy

Hi Tommy, nice to hear from you and thanks for your suggestions! I'm aware that duct tape makes a good fire starter and I think David West has a good point in suggesting a trial before packing it in a bag, you never know what you're getting from the stores these days. Buckwheat sounds like a good idea. I wouldn't cart around too much peanut butter through, it's an excellent source of calories and nutrients especially in colder climates, make no mistake. However anything that is 'hydrated' is also heavy. Perhaps if you found a few sachets of the stuff it could get one through the first 24-48 hours, thereafter you should be able to find resources from the environment or manage with some dehydrated and light weight foods. Having said that I carry chocolates in my bag so who am I to comment ;) C

Hi Harry! So glad to hear from you and that you've joined us on the channel. Thanks for your comments and support. Preparedness is a process and it certainly does affect the pocket from time to time. But when we've done our research well it's always worth having the contingency planning in place. The beginning of your knife collection sounds fantastic! I'm not personally familiar with Schrade but I believe it to be a reliable brand and by the description you've given you have good taste. Keep the Mora in your bag, one is none and two is one. If for some reason your primary knife is out of action or lost you have a Mora as backup. Couldn't ask for better!

@LiveReady
Жыл бұрын
Hi Harry, thanks so much for this suggestion. I hadn't thought of that actually. I've done a little search quickly and I see our South African Snakebite institute does sell snakebite first aid kits. On close examination though there isn't much in them that you wouldn't find in a normal kit. Compression of the lymphatic system is key in snake bites and not all sources recommend a tourniquet. The comprehensive kits do however have a resus bag which I haven't seen in other kits. We don't dispense antivenom over the counter in SA or in first aid kits, it needs to be administered on hospital. This is so that the lay person doesn't think they've solved the problem by administering antivenoms without medical consultation. Previous research into snake bites has taught me that there is no antivenom that treats berg adder bites for example. They have a neurotoxic venom and this could cause the respiratory and other systems to shut down. So it really is best to head to the nearest hospital as soon as possible if bitten by a snake around here. If that's not possible, best you do what you can with the first aid kit. Better something than nothing I suppose. C

Mylar is reflective, not insulative. Laying on top of it will not retain any heat. There has to be an air gap to trap reflected heat, if you’re in contact with the Mylar sheet all of the heat energy will be lost through conduction. It’s better use is hanging it behind you to reflect fire heat down onto you, it’s an emergency material, it may help you survive, it won’t keep you comfortable. It should also be noted that being waterproof also means Mylar doesn’t breathe, so wrapping it around you will trap condensation and you’ll end up soaked. NEVER use it as a sleeping bag liner. It will not make you warm if you’re cold, it will only keep the heat you already have. Use it to prevent hypothermia, not to reverse it. Laying on top of it will keep you dry if the ground is wet, and dry= warmer, that’s about all that will do for you.

Hi There. I think you summed it up nicely in your last statement. It will prevent moisture from the environment getting to you from whichever side of you it is on. It will reflect some of the heat you lose back to you, thereby helping you to maintain your core body temp. It will retain some of that heat if you're wrapped in it, remember our clothing forms a layer that includes air, between us and the mylar, so does a sleeping bag. I have found because the blanket is not sealed around you, it actually allows for quite a lot of ventilation especially in windy conditions. Even though it doesnt breathe, this ventilation helps with condensation management. But very important, as you say, to watch that carefully, you don't want moisture against you. Considering all of the above it will help you to stay a bit warmer but no survival situation is comfortable. C

Hi there, that's a good idea especially if you end up travelling along a road. However when you need to carry a bag over rough terrain or debris you won't be able to cart it very efficiently. What you could do to lighten the load is plant some caches along a route you think you may take or store some extra supplies at a bug out location. This way you won't need to carry a whole lot but will still be able to find resources along your route. C

Hi Ollie, I'm always game for a trip into the wilderness. Unfortunately with two businesses and a day job there is no way I can take off thirty days at the moment. Perhaps, God willing, Love Ready will be my sole responsibility in future in which case I would be able to get away easier. C
Yess I bought a R80 knife that I used to build my hide/shelter in out back yard it was great to use I got it because I used wood and rocks to hit the blade and didn't want to use my expensive knife and it worked just a well as any other knife. Yess they say 3 sets of clothes one for the bag, one on your ass and one in the wash.. een aan die gat een in die tas en een in die was hahahahaha but a pair of warm(long) and cool (short )clothes is a necessity

Awesome! Great consideration for your expensive knife. Clothing is really an important part of our ability to maintain core body temp. Thanks for your thoughts. C
btw Clarisse. so I got that knife I was telling you about. finally in the mail. man it is a great knife. best knife for 47 dollars US. full tang, Carbon Steel, 1/4 inch back. co polymer handle (Rubber and plastic) and a great thumb groove . is 1 pound almost in weight. I could chop down a redwood tree with it. #PaulBunyon. anyway. you should check it out. and do a review on it.
Are you former military Ma'am?? I ask because you carry a Kbar.

Hi James, I'm afraid not. The Ka-Bar was a gift from one of the viewers on this channel, Marine SHTF. I'm very grateful for it, spectacular knife. Thanks for dropping a comment, C.
Poor woman needs a husband!
Hate to tell you this but Jesus is not the messiah. Ask any rabbi or Jew they will tell you the truth.
Yeshua Jesus better be the first thing you pack in your heart
Don't discount having a bicycle, if you can't afford to buy one most police stations will give you one in America probably in South Africa too so they don't have to throw them to the dump just make it as tough as you can you want to use as little energy as possible when you're getting to your hide position again it all depends on money but in America you can call the police station and they give the bicycles out all the time if you have the money those little Chinese four-stroke engine kits are inexpensive and they really are good on fuel or even the two-cycle ones you can put a better muffler on to keep them quiet, you can also make saddlebags a lot of stuff the Chinese and the Viet Cong use them in war they were able to carry much more weight and go way further than they would without one put that green crap in the tires that make them puncture-proof again thank you ask God to help you when you're doing this stuff everybody's situation different
