Prepared vs Unprepared: Real-World Survival Test

It’s the day after my birthday, and I wanted to spend it doing what I love most - getting outdoors and putting my gear and skills to the test. In this video, I invite you to come out into the field with me for a real-world, “one take” survival experience. No retakes, no fancy cuts - just the process in real time. I hike into the woods, track local wildlife, and put my Core-4 Survival Priorities to the test: shelter, water, fire, and food. If this information helps you, please consider a paid subscription ... ☣️ http://SurvivalDispatchNews.com Along the way, I also test out some new gear, including: • Nemo Switchback folding sleep pad • JRE Industries sheath for my Tribe knife • Grayl GeoPress with one-way valve • G-Mod pouches for the Grayl Transport Sling • The Bubbie [this time, I’m sleeping on the ground!] The goal here is to show the difference proper preparation makes when you’re out in the field - because being ready changes everything. 👇 Let me know in the comments if you’d like to see me do a timed “one take” challenge next!
