Vehicle Preparedness. Pat McNamara, Field Notes Ep. 62
Patrick McNamara spent 22 years in the United States Army in a myriad of special operations units. When he worked in the premier special missions unit, he became an impeccable marksman, shooting with accurate, lethal results and tactical effectiveness.
McNamara has trained tactical applications of shooting to people of all levels of marksmanship, from varsity level soldiers, and police officers who work the streets to civilians with little to no time behind the trigger. His military experience quickly taught him that there is more to tactical marksmanship than merely squeezing the trigger.
Utilizing his years of experience, McNamara developed a training methodology that is safe, effective, and combat relevant and encourages a continuous thought process. This methodology teaches how to maintain safety at all times and choose targets that force accountability, as well as provides courses covering several categories, including individual, collective, online, and standards.
While serving as his Unit's Marksmanship NCO, he developed his own marksmanship club with NRA, CMP, and USPSA affiliations. Mac ran monthly IPSC matches and ran semi annual military marksmanship championships to encourage marksmanship fundamentals and competitiveness throughout the Army. He retired from the Army's premier hostage rescue unit as a Sergeant Major and is the author of T.A.P.S. (Tactical Application of Practical Shooting) and Sentinel.

Pat McNamara is like the master of ANY situation.
It's good to see he is thinking of others ahead of time.
For those of us in the mountains, don't forget that many (most) water filters should not freeze. Their effectiveness drops significantly. If you leave your go-bag with a water filter in your car in the winter, you need to get an MSR Guardian or some other non-fiber filter.

For this reason (among others) I like to use the SteriPEN. Just keep in mind if you carry it, it is subject to battery failure so you need to ensure its charged, which is a consideration in a vehicle based ready kit that will likely sit idle for many months

Water filter has it's place but is not the right choice for a bag like this. Better choice is chlorine purification tabs like Aquatabs. Or maybe iodine tabs which can also be used to make a wound disinfecting solution. Just my 2c. Sorry P-M.

Excellent advice! Thanks SureFire and Pat Mac! I had to watch it a second time, pausing, and taking notes.

Thanks for the homework Pat!! Greatly appreciated!
Hey Pat, this was great ! And thank you for all the BDS videos !

Probably the best one of these I've ever seen. A lot of the pros seem to not care about the more basic things. You ever see those Pedialyte single packets for water bottles? I think those wouldn't be a bad addition, very compact and light, good hydration, long shelf life
It's 6 MARCH 22, the world has changed again and once again, I see the need, such as this, but I call it a get home bag", with what you mentioned. As I was once told, by an instructor in the police academy, "Anything is possible!" Respond accordingly. Stay safe, y'all!!!!
Thanks Pat!

Very much appreciate all you do. Common sense is not that common and it's encouraging to see people who have it. Kindest regards.

Great information! Keepin' it simple and useful.
U badass. I had opportunity to spend time with delta instructor on long distance shooting. Priceless. Thank you for your service and sacrifice.
Nice presentation as usual Pat, appreciate ya.....BOOM!
As always, on point instruction man!
Love the Grenade container/fire kit. Rock on
GREAT INFO PAT!
And thus endeth the sermon.......Preach Brother McNamara.....
great advice.
I think it's tragic to have such a highly trained individual blending in with society as if he's a normal person. Pat is anything but normal. Very few folks with his level of training should be allowed on scene of any emergency for any reason.They should give you a real bat signal. unless of course you don't want no one to bother you which is just as tragic. Your skills and knowledge are simply unmatched. Unicorn status.... thank you for your service sir!

The people that gave a thumbs down do it just to say they are the ones Always need to be noticed. Fckn amazes me. Keep it up Patman ha great teacher and great guy (from what I do know). CT Native Brother-
I also care a two foot breaker bar with a socket that fits tire lug nuts as it is much easier to persuade a stubborn lug nut with two feet of leverage than those dinky little tire tools that come with most cars. But having a two foot steel rod works for other things as well, persuaded a faulty starter motor on a coworkers truck to turn over and get him to a repair shop.
awesome!
Excellent
It’s super interesting to me that all of the people I’ve seen who make vehicle prep videos that have a pickup truck, don’t have an in bed tool box. For roughly 300 bucks it’s well worth it for having the extra lockable storage space. They provide a ton of extra storage space. In mine I have things like a; Tow strap, all sorts of had tools, come-a-long, sleeping bag, food, water, 12V vehicle jack, ratchet straps, vehicle emergency parts kit, 1/2 mask with extra filters, coveralls, cordage, rain gear, bolt cutters, tie wire, zip ties, Ammo, get home bag and more. Every storage space in the inside is occupied with preparedness items also. It’s taken years to assemble but I’ve always have on hand anything I needed. My vehicle is always near me so it makes sense to have in it what you might need to keep going.
Great info. Need to get my go bag dialed in. My big downside is my commute eats fuel so I hit 3/4 every day. But I have a 5 gallon jerry can full at all times so If I gotta bail Ill grab it
So simple, and we rarely take the time to do it.
First off I would like to say beyond words many thank you!! Sir for your service Mr Pat McNamara You have forgot about more stuff than people have in experience Thank you Thank you sir I am a supporter of your channel and of your tactics that being said I just add to myself my pack EDC is believe it or not orajel or some type of anesthetic for the teeth nothing's worse than having a bad day if you trying to consume something and you crack your teeth or you're having a toothache or what not something so small can be so devastating in order to get from point A to point B a toothache can immobilize an individual with extreme pain it's almost like having a thousand paper cuts 😬

Good shit.
Its one thing to be a "good samaritan" its another thing when you start injecting things into other peoples bodies. Just know if you should do this you will be breaching the "good samaritan" law in most states. As a career Firefighter/paramedic, I highly advise people to know and understand your states laws that cover this as well as obtain the required training to perform said skills in an emergency situation. When a pt. is in a life or death situation and looking into your eyes for help you will understand the gravity of the situation you put yourself into. Be sure to be what the patient thinks you are! You may be all they have. Good video sir.
One thing that has stayed with us from operating vehicles in hostile areas, alway have easy access to the spare tire. Never pack any type of gear/equipment on top of the damn tire if it’s stored inside the vehicle. Also a good jack that will get the vehicle up high enough with equipment still inside of it, along with a 4-Way lug wrench or battery powered impact wrench if possible.
