Possibly take 1 battery in radio and put in backwards so it doesn't turn on by mistake. Or take them out till needed. JMHO
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this most informative video. I just came across your channel and I enjoyed the content. Stay safe out there. 😊
I also watch my gshock and it is solar. My local shop charges more to replace the battery than buying a new watch.
I suggest you to try the blue alpha belt. I like it much. It is edc belt.
Food?
*Promo sm*
Will you be traveling in a urban or rural area? If it is more urban I would include a Silcock key, and cash in small denominations. Maybe some back up batteries, and a small amount of food; nuts or energy bars. Thanks for sharing.
The only things I carry is a pocket knife, belt, holster, G43, extra mag, phone, and wallet. Anything more than that is overkill.
I would add heavy duty trash bags, it doesn’t weigh much but so much uses. Instead of pouches use heavy duty ziplocks for the smaller gears. Always carry a whistle, preferably on you on a carabiner or necklace. I’ve watch videos of people being saved but lost their voice due to screaming. Carry cotton rope or cotton items will give you extra fuel materials.
I would have to be upfront and honest....that's a lot to be carrying on a daily basis!!
Make sure your GHB has what you need to get home. Your mission is to only get home. On average it takes 22-30 minutes to walk 1 mile. You live 20 miles from work, Thats between (7Hours-20Minutes) and (10Hours) NOT including breaks and rests.
Subscribed. Hope to see many more videos on your channel.

Good video my friend we should collaborate
Hey, thank you friend 😁 Collaborations sound fun, but right now I’m not able to make any new videos. It may be a few months before I can continue.

@@SDT816 Cool, I will check out your channel, thanks for the suggestion friend.
Thank you for the lesson on grinds. I’m getting ready for the daily grind. Have a nice day!
Thanks for watching 😊 Hope you have a nice day as well 😁
How big were your trees when you purchased them?
Probably between 1-4 foot tall.
That looks great! I’m on year 2 of my food forest and I’ve kinda gone off the rails in collecting rare tropical fruit seeds and sprouting them. Need to get back on track with the forest!
Thank you! Ohhh yes, it’s very easy to get carried away and even run out of space like we did 😆
I’m loving all the shorts packed with long information.
I’m glad you’re enjoying them 😄 The shorts do seem like a great way to save time and get straight to the point.
Love love the bottlebrush ❤️
I love Atwood Rope
I agree, it’s definitely a worthwhile purchase. 😁
Do u give away pigeon pea seeds? Or sell them?
We have not done that, but there’s some on Amazon for a fair price. Here’s a link. a.co/d/0WlOPC4
Dude…YOU ARE a genius. By the way, Johnny Appleseed fenced in his orchards too…with think brush and tree limbs. Hey! Maybe you’re related?😂
Lol, I wouldn’t nearly go that far 🤣 hey I never thought about it, but maybe I am, I do like planting trees or seeds whenever I can 😆
Prevent it with .243win
That’s certainly one way to doit, and stock the freezer 😆
Fingers crossed! 🤞 Those deer can eat a few hundred dollars in an hour 😅
They sure can 😅
We use our weeds as mulch and even the grass. We let it grow and they eventually die down creating mulch until the trees grow up.
That’s a good tip. We’ve done that on some occasions as well. Definitely a good way to to mulch and create some bio mass to help your trees 😁
Solar battery bank charging in car until you need it
Yup, good idea to keep it fully charged and ready. Just be careful it doesn’t get to hot, of course this depends on your location/climate.
I live 14 miles from my work office. If I was to walk home, cross country, it is only about 9 miles. I have contacted almost all the land owners whose property I would cross and obtained their permission to walk across. In an emergency situation, I don’t want to have to explain why I’m trespassing. It’s just something to think about.
That’s a good suggestion, thanks for sharing. That would certainly make for the fastest way home. Point A to B. Not only that but I think it’s good to get to know your neighbors and build a community that works together. I think this will work for those who are in the rural areas, but the densely populated urban areas may be more difficult.
Looks like you have some termites on your jack fruit
I hope not 😬
Sa po te. Pronounce the te as tay .
Thanks for the clarification 😁

I think homeless people prove the shelter thing wrong.
I think he meant in extreme conditions.
@@Samuel-ev2df Have you been to Kentucky?
This really depends on the circumstances for your environment. If your core body temperature drops below or rises above your optimal temperature range by more than a few degrees it can prove fatal within hours.
@@LearnLivePrepare Kentucky is known for its extreme and unpredictable weather due to its location in the Ohio Valley.
@@eeveequeen15 Clothing is also considered to be shelter.
The food thing..... Is debateable
You’re absolutely right, you could even say they’re all debatable. It’s subjective, every person is different. Some can go longer and some may have less, but this is just a simple rule to remember for the average person like Bob 😁
Some food spice would be good!
Yea, sometimes those packaged foods are a little bland 😁
props to bob for dying four times to educate us
He’s very gifted 😂
Whats 8b and 11 mean?
United States Department of Agriculture(USDA), Plant Hardiness Zoning. “Identifying your USDA zone is just the first step in using the map as a tool for a successful garden. When selecting plants, check their zones. Plants are labeled as being hardy in a range of zones, for instance 5 through 9. Compare the plants zones to your zone to decide if you can grow it as a perennial.” Quoted from www.gardeningknowhow.com/planting-zones/usda-planting-zone-map.htm
Good video!
Thank you friend 😁
You can graft loquat onto quince rootstock. Quince rootstock is very tough, cheap and limits the trees grafted onto it to twelve - fifteen feet in height. What is the scientific name for perennial sunflower? I live in USDA Zone 7 and the closest thing I have seen to that are Jerusalen artichokes which get up to eight - ten feet in height. Sorry about the fruits like guava that get wormy. You could do some research or call your County Extension Office to see if there are beneficial insects or treatments to take care of those pests. You could raise chickens and feed them that fruit. They love worms. Another option is to feed pigs with the fruit.
That sounds like a fun experiment, we’ve not yet tried any grafting. I believe the scientific name for the perennial sunflower is Tithonia Diversifolia and it seems it’s range is 9-11. Those are great suggestions for remedies on the wormy fruit like guava. Thank you for the tips 😁
I gave some to my sister in Los Angeles Zone 9 and while it grew to 6' tall (orange flowers) and was beautiful it never was invasive there. The biomass Tithonia produces is really good. Perhaps you can find a way with a tractor to mow it down and compost it. Places where it never gets cold and have a lot of rainfall seems to be where Tithonia diversifolia is invasive.
@@tanyawales5445 Oh yes, you’re totally right it is a great chop and drop for sure. This one gets very tall, probably close to 15’, but then it falls over. I’m not sure if it’s super invasive where I’m at on it’s own, but it is super easy to propagate. I’ve taken cuttings from the one plant we had to create the row you see in the video. It doesn’t really spread on its own too much, but it can get sprawled and the branches will root if they touch the ground. It’s fairly easy to come through with a machete and trim it up nicely and then take those cuttings for bio mass like you said. All things considered it’s a very useful plant. 😁
Thanks for the tour! Y’all are able to grow some of the craziest plants and trees over there in Florida 😂. I’m in Texas 8b with an edible backyard garden/orchard but the only tree that I have like yours is my Barbados cherry and it’s in a container. The work you put in out there is definitely paying off so keep it up and stay blessed! New subscriber! -Calvin
Yup, we’re sort of in that sweet spot where we can grow some tropicals and temperate varieties, but that depends on how temperamental the weather is 😆 Looks like you’ve been putting in work too, I checked out some of your videos. Love the energy, I’ll be back to learn more. Thank you brother, God Bless!
I see that Wuben light all over the place. Even a few guys i work with have one. I'm going to have to get one and check it out. Great video. thanks for sharing.
It’s an excellent flashlight. I’ve tried a few EDC flashlights and this one is the simplest and most practical to use.
What backpack is this?
This is the SOG Ninja Daypack. Here’s a link to Amazon for more a.co/d/ixfE2v9
I love this! We need more South Florida specific gardening channels.Thanks for sharing your beautiful food forest : )
We totally do, It does seem like there’s just not enough out there. Glad you enjoyed! 😁
You can mix the chocolate sapote and peanut butter fruit and have Reese peanut butter fruit salad. Great video
Haha! That actually sounds delicious 😝 thanks for the suggestion
Wow what a great idea
Have you tried that before? I have yet to try either fruit and have wondered how closely they taste to chocolate and peanut butter 😁
@@KHH595 yes cut a ripe black sapote in half, drizzle peanut butter and honey and eat with a spoon, or put it all in a bowl. Soooo good

Muntingia is called Strawberry Tree because of the flowers (they look like Strawberry flowers), not the taste! The garden looks great!
Ohhh, now that makes more sense because I didn’t really think they tasted like strawberries 😆 Thanks for the clarification. 🙂
Looking good 👍🏾
Thank you friend! 😁
Nice video. Thanks for the lovely tour. It is pronounced Youka (yuca)❤. Also called cassava in some countries
Ahh that’s right! Thank you for the correction, I always get it mixed up 😆
@@LearnLivePrepare absolutely
Looking good.. I have a few mulberry varieties all doing great except Pakistan Marberry 👎 it sucks because I hear it’s one of the best tasting varieties out. Thanks for sharing 👊
Yea, I’m a bit disappointed as well, we did have it fruit once but it was a low yield and the birds got it before we could. I’m just guessing our climate is a bit different and that may be why it’s not super happy. Thanks for watching 😃
Thank you to everyone who’s made suggestions or given helpful tips. I’ve updated the description and added the ones I received already and I will continue to do so for anything that has not been mentioned.
