hi youtube welcome back uh we are doing part two of uh shtf on the road um andre did part one
in which he talked about uh the different types of the different types of things that you should have
for your vehicle if you should find yourself stranded somewhere for between 24 to 48 hours
and we're going to do something for the inside of the truck so these are your top 12 items
that you should have with you on the inside of your vehicle for your own survival for your own
safety one of the top things that you want to think about when you're on a road trip uh
if you're stranded and you break down is water water is important you can survive without food
for 48 hours you won't survive very well without water so one of the most important things that
you should have is some sort of water purification device so this is one of them andrew did a review
on this specific product and it's a great water bottle to use this is a filter that you would use
when you're actually just filtering water this one is another type of filter
and it's a much more economical choice it's called lifestraw and we will have a product review on
that works really well uh but it's just precisely for when you are sucking the water literally
uh as using as a straw right out of the stream so that's product number one it doesn't necessarily
have to be these ones but some sort of water purification device is really important to have uh
should you find yourself in an emergency situation that's right uh now the second item we're going to
be talking about is depending on the time type or time of season you may be stuck in the winter
or any time that it's a cooler weather so something to stay warm if say you don't take any
extra fuel or your vehicle runs out of fuel and you want to stay warm i would recommend a blanket
this is the type that we carry this is meant for queen-sized bed and this is a hundred percent wool
so it's very warm and uh it's uh very heavy so you're going to stay you're going to keep retain
a lot of body heat if you're under this no matter what so a blanket is your second go-to i would
say something important to have um even if it's summer and then and and whatnot it has warmer
temperatures you might it might drop temperatures when it's colder so for number three um is
actually something that's also super important a medical kit now this has all manner of medical
supplies in it we've got gauze band-aids um all sorts of stuff splints i think there's a few
splints in here um as well as some other uh some other bandage type materials that's something you
definitely want to have you don't know what or when something is going to happen to you and if
you're stranded for 24 to 48 hours you want to make sure that you have something to cope for
emergency situations until you can get yourself to a hospital or hopefully stitch yourself up
whenever that happens to be but a medical kit is something that's also number three that's really
important to have yeah one thing i would recommend tossing into your medical kit that this one didn't
come with is a tourniquet just in case uh you get a big cut or a laceration that you need to stop
the bleeding toss in the tourniquet into this um these are also great because uh when you're
looking at them you can do uh seven people for up to 14 days so for the two of us this is plenty
good for a long time that's right uh the fourth item we'd like to talk about is uh flashlights
now if you're broken down on the side of the road you might want to do some repairs if it's dark
at night and you need to change a tire do some engine repairs i would recommend a head
lamp that way you can just strap to your head and kind of start working on what you need to
work on without having a third arm to hold another flashlight now say uh you're not repairing
something and you're gonna start hiking it and it's dark or you're gonna start going to look
forage for food or you're gonna start looking for some uh wood or something and it's dark out there
i would recommend a bigger flashlight such as this one here these are all rechargeables so you don't
have to worry about battery replacement you just make sure they're fully charged before your trip
uh the reason i like this one here as opposed to this one is just because this one's a lot brighter
this one here puts out about 1200 lumens where this one here puts out 90 000 lumens
so if you're hiking down the side of the road this one can go a very long distance so if you
have any cars coming around the bend they will see this light and where they won't see this light uh
and it's also uh very well built so if you need it as a weapon it's a another uh a good extraordinary
improvise that's right improvisation is key so the uh one of the next items that we want to
chat about is a screwdriver now this is not your typical screwdriver it is what is known as a ten
in one screwdriver um so it comes apart it's got various different heads various different sockets
um and it's a very utillarian tool uh when it comes to doing anything if that means like
having to fix your car with something if that means uh having to fix a tool whatever this is
something that you is really important that you'd want to have um especially on the road
and it helps that this is such a such a complex one where it's got 10 different uh 10 different
things that you can that you can use for it uh so your next thing if you are stranded uh first for
24 to 48 hours you are eventually depending on the weather but you're eventually gonna have to build
some sort of fire so fire starter or some sort of uh some sort of uh lubricant or something to start
a fire is definitely important so that comes in a variety of different uh different types uh we've
got your traditional lighter here it's always a good idea to carry multiples of these uh just
in case one backfires or one misfires but your traditional lighter or we have a fire starter here
which is known as a pharaoh starter so stick ferro stick thank you it's a ferro stick um so
this works through friction um and this is really useful because you're just depending on friction
and on natural forces rather than on something like this which is dependent on something
that's inserted inside of it so something really important to have uh presumably if you've broken
down somewhere in the rural remote areas you will have all manner of access to wood and you'll be
able to uh to chop some wood for yourself um but a fire starter of some sort is definitely a key
thing to have for sure quick point uh the reason you'd want a ferro stick as opposed to a lighter
is say this gets dropped in the water they don't uh start up right away so if you get your lighter
soaked um this is not gonna work for uh a little bit until you dry it out where with a ferro stick
is if you do drop it in water it has no effect on it you can just uh startle fire no matter what
the next item up would be depending on where you are usually uh when you're out in these areas
here it's remote or rural and you're not familiar with the area so i would recommend that you bring
an actual map with you now this is a back roads map and it gives you all the forest forestry roads
all the smaller roads that you wouldn't see on your bigger maps so depending on where you are say
there's a roadblock a washout a big accident and you want to find an alternate route uh bring a an
actual map with you i would not recommend a tablet or a cell phone or anything like that because uh
say you don't have uh something to charge that device with you can't operate that the device um
and get access to your maps where this here is gonna be functional uh with or without a battery
which is useful when you uh if you don't have communications that's right anyone else all right
uh so our next item um and this is particularly for me because the bugs seem to love me out here
um is uh some sort of bug spray we have off we don't use it often um the bugs are not too bad
right now um but if we if you are stuck in a uh an emergency situation where you're gonna have
to be outside at all times of the day or at peak times or even at night when bugs are supposed to
be most active this is something you're definitely going to want to use is bug spray so carrying some
just in case is a good idea as andre says better looking at it than for it so it's better to have
it than and not need it than to not have it and you need it so something that we consider very
important on our list of things to bring that's right uh the next item we're going to be talking
about are knives now i carry two different types of knives i carry a machete so this one is say
if you want to go out and uh start hacking down some trees or you want to make uh something with
uh with wood and you want to hack down bigger trees uh or limbs these this is great so you can
just basically i'll go through anything um natural or organic should i say um which is very nice and
then i also like to take a um a smaller stiff blade knife with me just in case i need to
make some kindling sharpen a piece of wood or make some sort of repair um
you never know when you need a knife so a knife is a very good um item to have or a couple knives
yeah just in case one kind of malfunctions or you don't have the use of one uh or yeah better
suited for one purpose than another that's right on the topic of knives uh this is not exactly a
knife but this is a saw so using a saw and we do have other other cutting tools as well but
using a saw would be really handy for when you are let's say cutting things that won't necessarily
go through with with a smaller knife or with a machete just because you don't have that jagged
blade that is here so always a good idea as a side note to make sure that you carry uh containers for
your for your sharp knives and things like that you'll notice andre had the same thing
uh for the machete as well as the other knife you don't want an accident happening um if you are
stranded so make sure that you've got some sort of secure device in order to hold your knives
uh safe and secure so you're not cutting anything that you shouldn't be exactly you
might ask why would i be bringing um this if you've watched the first video you're gonna say
i had a chainsaw and an axe with me so why would i want to bring this this this here is perfect
for if you are going to grab your backpack and start hiking and you're going to eventually need
to get some trees down you don't want to be carrying an ax or a chainsaw around
so this is a perfect solution for that that scenario the next item i'd like to talk about is
gloves so hand protection is always good to have especially if you're dealing in colder climate
and you're doing some repairs in the snow or something gloves are really uh a great
item to have so because you don't want frostbite or any hand injuries because
when you are broken down or anything like that your hands are going to be one of your most
useful tools out there yeah i'd caution on that note don't just bring one pair of gloves bring
two pairs because if one something happens to one pair then you have that backup pair just in case
so making sure that you have two appropriate pairs of gloves uh for working or for colder weather uh
whatever it might be would be something that's appropriate and probably something that is a
good thing to pack as an extra case so my last thing uh that i want to talk about on our list
um is food now if you talk about food we're not talking about things uh in terms of like you
know full cooked meals the presumption is that if you're stranded somewhere you'll hopefully
be able to get help within 24 to 48 hours you can survive without food for that long but in
order to keep your your strength up and make sure that you're actually eating properly you want to
pack something that is able to be preserved but also something that is nutritional for your body
so just as an example here we have the trail mix not your typical trail mix this has almonds
bananas pineapples cranberries and walnuts in it so it's a trail mix of all kinds of things
but that's very high in protein definitely a good idea to bring something like that with you
raisins would be another good thing but you want to try to pack things that are not going to be uh
um that are going to go bad in a short period of time you don't want something that's going
to require short insulation perishables that's the word i'm looking for you don't want to pack
perishables uh you want to pack something that you can that you can store for a certain period
of time that's right and i actually just thought of another idea of item that you'd want to
take so this is going to be your top 13 now is communication um so depending on where you are
you may want to plan your trip obviously and not everywhere has uh cell phone service such as
uh our location so uh from where we are here to the closest um cell phone tower is
about three hours away so uh cell phones don't always work so make sure you're always taking
um either a ham radio a cb radio which is not that important but actually found uh it helpful
on our travels across country because truckers still use them so if there's an accident somewhere
you can talk to truckers um and for our area here we use what is called a bush radio or a rr radio
um and what they do is uh you can communicate to anyone uh within your province or your state uh
that is on like a forestry road and um it actually can pick up a good signal i believe i can catch up
to uh 30 to 35 kilometers on the one that i have here so if you are stuck and you need to uh get
help you can get on the radios and reach reach out to someone in the vicinity yeah as long as
they're on like your proper channel that's right exactly super important yeah i didn't even think
of that top 13 items right yes absolutely anyways hopefully you got some great information out of
this thanks for joining joining us again and we'll see you on the next one bye guys
