all right we're out here at the worst-case-scenario survival school
we're out here with Randy Wurst, Randy "Rawhide" Wurst and Randy's the real deal
he's one of four guys that actually built the classified survival manual for
SOCOM and he's going to show us how to layer your survival gear all the way
from your vehicle all the way down to what you would actually carry on your
own on your own person Randy won't you show us what you got Randy: all right inside
the vehicle is survival gear that that you must keep inside your vehicle this
when you lay it out you're going to be pretty impressed of how much gear I have
here before I came into military just real fast I did eight years of the
farm in four years craft rescue and then I was a deputy sheriff and I was on a
SWAT team then I came into the military and came into Special Forces when I
combined all that training together what I figured out was 90% of all your
emergency situations will be based around your vehicle whether you wreck or
you come across another wreck so you start with equipment that you're going
to have in your vehicle to deal with that on the other side and the inside
when I lay it out before I pull all this out you're going to see what's in the
inside of your vehicle basically goes like this I'm not going to tear
everything apart all your medical gear has to be on the inside your food of
water has to be inside your signalling communication gear it has to be in the
inside of the vehicle with you and gear to keep you warm like blankets sleeping
bags heavy coach you'll see a reflective code in there that equipment whatever
vehicle has to be in the inside so if you're trapped and you can't get out you
have access to it the rest of this means I'm physically able or Karl or Mike
behind you can get to it and do other work with it but the other gear that
your you'll see that we're going to pull the tailgate down that stays inside your
vehicle the rest will pull out can come from a locked toolbox like this
Karl: all right Randy so this is all the stuff we just pulled out from behind the seats now a
lot of gear but this could if you pieced it out it would fit under the seats and
around the seats are just about any vehicle Randy: yeah it it is quite a bit but
there's a reason for it real quickly I'm not going to tear this stuff apart for
you guys this is complete trauma stuff everything for trauma maximum wounds
compound fractures all that and this bag that you have over here what you have
there's my wool blanket there's a signaling device here that's on my bag
so if I had to leave my bag and turn it on and mark it your red thing that's a
Bic lighter there's a flashlight that's a Swiss seat rope that I can make
out of that right and there's carabiners there inside is food and water and the
little gas stoves in which to cook it so it in an emergency and rather me trying
to build a fire I immediately can have something I picked that technique up
because my wife was one of them was stuck on Interstate 65 and she got out
of there but instead of trying to gather wood and build a fire if I would have
had something ready for so that's what's in the inside there's my food my water
more medical gear now this is we're trying to be found so I have this
reflective vest and what you want to do with your emergency clothes is have it
larger than what you wear a smaller person can always get into a larger
clothes but a larger person can't always get into smaller clothes so make them
extra big just in case okay and you'll see that with the bib overalls those
insulated the only thing; oh your bottle let me go- always have this
collapsible a water bottle that wanted to get and I didn't get in time I like
them a lot they collapse take top off the claps down about this big but if you
need to heat things up always got to have stainless steel not aluminum you
don't have any of that gas coming off stainless steel bottles this doesn't
look like much but this is one of those thermal pads especially if you're
injured or hurt I don't help retain body heat you can put somebody on or yourself
that that's inside and when you're hunting it
helps out there now here Karl and I both retired out of fifth group we all both
have around 25 years so it's important gear in here based off necessity and
because of our injuries we get from just being retired from Special Forces always
have leather gloves or here in my pockets there another set is here
anytime you need to work on doing stuff you need to protect your hands and your
feet the rule of thumb is if you damage your
feet or your hands approximately it's no guarantee and it's not precise that's
from 50% of your capabilities are gone leather pure leather can protect your
hands better than anything else you can have other gloves to keep you warm but
you need full leather gloves Karl and I because we did our whole career in Halo
don't have any knees left that one you see my hunting pack no matter what I
have I put my knee pad in there Karl: got mine right here Randy: yeah he's got I don't have pants
like that always do they go in there and because of back injuries of taking
parachutes and driving them in the ground this is a support for the back
especially because we're talking about a vehicle in emergency situations we may
will more likely be working in with trying to rescue somebody else so we
need to take care of ourselves so we're not being injured ourselves
