Great words of common sense, thank you.
Just as a possible useful tip. I have more than one worn a black plastic trash bag as a rain poncho. They can also be drug over the top of a sleep system as an extra layer or initial water break.
As the old adage says, 3=2, 2=1 1=0 Stay well & safe Mr Thomas.
Yes Mt man here the weather can change fast as dropping a dime mother natures bipolar weather
It's an ancient preparedness philosophy…. 3 is 2… 2 is 1 ….. 1 is none….. You proved this perfectly 👍
I carry wool blankets year round in my vehicle I am going to contact Kauffmans about some items I want
Fantastic video Blackie! I travel quite a bit so I keep much of the same in my truck. No get home bag persay, but there's enough gear and supplies in my truck to quickly assemble one.
Good video Blackie, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
I always look for the dew point numbers up here in the mountains
Redundancy you say? Redundancy you say? 😂 oh yes
This is my backup comment.. guess i'll use it now.. Hi Blackie! 😂
Another good video. Thanks.
Blackie, James from waypoint survival did his haversack challenge, he did an awesome job…
One is none, and two is one, right?
Thank you for an excellent video, I tend to pack too much in my car but I am now bolstered by your encouraging words
Excellent
Thank you for an awesome video.
Did ya bring the nissan pickup truck? Still interested in the trucksetup?
Interesting, haven't heard of the dew point. Experienced something not dissimilar in Wistmans Wood on Dartmoor in the UK. Hot day, the wood is down the bank of a small valley. Thick mist rolled in after dark. Temperature dropped badly. Condensation like rain on the inside of my tarp. Got into an emergency bivvy type thing with my sleeping bag. As soon as there was enough daylight packed the kit and walked to the top of the hills and set up there for a couple of decent hours sleep. There is a little bit of you that thinks you failed at the time regardless for not anticipating the situation but in retrospect you got through it. A lesson is learned, mine being don't camp in that valley!!!
See, this is why that man started screaming down a campsite from me out here in devil's den! He got so cold it made him get in his truck and drive off
Blackie, Great Video and Outstanding Information . Yes Sir Us Silver Wolves always do our best to Be Prepared as the Boy Scouts Motto taught us back in the 1973 -1979 . Thank You Sir For All You Do and God Bless Y'all.
Definitely good to have redundancies. I have to put together a ranger roll for my vehicle. Glad it all worked out for your trip. 👍🏻
Good information Blackie, thank you.
follow up video coming this sunday stay safe everyone
I was a bit of a ski bum back in my university days. I always had a flyers kit bag stuffed in a locker at the lodge, I had multiple hats and gloves, in addition to files wax and tools. I learned early on that your buddies losing a hat or being cold ruins your trip to. Becomes even more important when you have kids.. or even just take the "head of household" position as uncle or what ever. My "possibles" bag is usually directed at other people.
…..mmmm we get to the dew point alot🤔? Its both temp and humidity… the dew point is when you can start expecting water on the leaves or grass… the dew
Hi Blackie., greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos. I would also include, emergency stuff for car, water, oil .coolant, and a jack, and make sure you spare tyre is pumped up, many years ago, up north, had a break down, ask me how I know. Valuable lesson learnt, not a static, a
👍👍👍
It rained and rained ,everything was wet etc. … except ol Blackie. . Always a lesson or two and a good story. Thanks Blackie. Always learn something from you.
I have one of those British army medic pouches too. It lives in my vehicle with a lot of handy stuff like fire kit, FAK, sewing kit etc. It'll take a 500ml bottle in the main compartment too.
Good tips Blackie 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
👍👍👍
👍👍👍 THANKS
Great video i have had this happen in the past and it made for a miserable knight. I go more prepared now!
I have a 2009 Nissan Frontier (Navara in Australia) and being 6’3”, there is no way I can sleep in the back of mine with it all closed. Good video reminding people to be aware of the unexpected.
I was stationed at Camp Lejeune. In North Carolina, when the weatherman says there is a chance of rain, add 30% to whatever number they said. When camping with family, you might consider adding a bicycle bag to your load out.
GREAT information! Time for me to make my ranger roll and get it in my truck! Nice video 👍
You do know the car has a heater just in case too…
I’m not quite as equipped as you, but I carry a decent wool blanket on almost every trip, no matter how warm it is. It’s just right for a crazy wide variety of temps. I keep it right by me and I t’s quite nice when you wake up cold in the situation you just described.
