    Awww, Richard. You missed my selfie putdown! I am a gal that KNOWS the wilderness very well, why do you think I watch every episode, ask lots of questions and I pretty much know what GBGB is doing and thinking. I am a gal, by the way. Grins. Not a guy. Not a foo-foo girl either. He IS FOR REAL. I guess not many people knew I was being very very facetious! I wasn't talking about selling or buying stuff. That's why I paid the dough to sign up for GB squared! I started out calling him GBGB and someone else came up with GB squared. I am glad that you 'almost' worship the guy. These are the real warriors of countries. I lived with one for half a decade, Green Beret, Special Forces. We became professional DANCERS! And did one heck of a lot of backpacking in the country most humans will never know.

    Heavy Duty trash bags are excellent but not mentioned by survivalist. It often rains In the eastern half of the USA. Feet are critical. Placed inside boots & over socks keeps feet comfy, dry & warm thru rain, streams and mud. They're also great for ponchos, carrying stuff, water container, etc.

    Trash bags for feet liners? I simply used old pantyhose made into feet liners. I always wore my oldest most comfy worn-in boots. Otherwise, I would have gone barefoot. I lived and hiked in the Pacific Northwest. I definitely always take contractor trash bags, 3mil, on every trip.

    Problem with trash bags to keep feet dry is they don't breathe. I used them at a music festival and nearly got trench foot. I agree that they have a lot of other applications though. I suppose it depends on the size of your bag whether you could fit them in.

I use pantyhose., cut off to my knee, then a wool sock (never cotton), and then the shoes/boots. The boots/shoes should be well broken in without losing stabilizers. A fantastic line of shoes for us barefoot weirdos is Xero Shoes. Steven and Lena are owners. The main thing is that you train your feet and legs to be able to support yourself without a cast making your own muscles weak, atrophied. I loved your comment...are you a barefoot weirdo, too?

I watched this a year ago and again just now, I think I've done okay, with your help Thank you. I've got a Green Beret buddy that's CID now, only about 400 of those guys in the country. I'd sure like to get some qualified people together, human trafficking is insane right now we just can't do enouph. the local PD puts it off to special investigations and seems they are just ignoring it right now. hopefully they have something up their sleeve. A freind of mine recovered 30 girls last summer and the daily activity no one hears about is a serious issue. Occasionally they snag a girl with a rich daddy that has money to hire someone like my friend, well I think we need all of them back and to eliminate that market all together.

    Something I've always carried when I road freight trains for nine years is a small makeup mirror that snaps closed. It's great for getting things out of your eye, you can keep fish hooks and line in it, you can keep a few pills of Adderall in it for extreme energy, thinking, and hunger suppression in emergency situations, you can break the mirror to cut something, and you can signal with it. Really one of those must have things in my opinion that no one ever seems to talk about.

I started out with MRE's and Mountain house food but they just took up way too much room. I get a ration of crap from my fellow preppers over the SOS bars, "You get sick of the taste" or other moronic statements. When trying to get home (I Live rural so I have a get home bag) I'm only focused on getting home, I can live with not have a variety of food. Great presentation.

I like a small 20 ltr pack but always with a hip belt. If you run or load up heavy the belt is so important. I add 4 pouches of Ramen in mine sodium packs mixed in for 3 day food additional needs (pure carbs n salt as if your running a marathon) worth adding to any pack . For longer term use, the container is a ziplock slide lock then vac sealed. I always have a small tub of VICKS rub as it is the multitool of petroleum products. Did you know why VICKS even prevents rust by mere proximity??? last add would be a mylar turkey oven bag, super tough, tie it off hang over coals and boil water in it as it resists 400 deg F more full of water too.

    I like paper satellite maps because it tells you where houses and structures are where you can get food and shelter and help. I also have offline downloadable satellite maps on my smart phone and hiker folding solar panels and a power bank

    The problem with bank line is that it stinks. Bad. Check out Atwood Rope. No affiliation, just letting folks know.

    You are very knowledgeable. I was already pretty sure I was gonna subscribe, but you sealed the deal with the "real nice Clark,". You seem like a pretty chill dude. Thanks for all the knowledge. Things are starting to look pretty grim here in West Canada. Feel like it is only a matter of time until this stuff becomes mandatory instead of in case.
