Well done. How was the beef stroganoff? It was nice to see you in the sunlight.

Very interesting divergence from the usual Beau. I'm not a survivalist, especially when camping for us involves a travel trailer, but the basics are always good to know.

It was great! Perhaps a 5-10 minute addendum. For the northern tier folks. Gloves, hand warmers, wool socks, winter hat and winter survival. Especially for the southern plains people in the 3rd week of February in 2021. They’re getting hit with snow and sub freezing temps.

Hey there Beau, Grizz here. Good work. I've been teaching bushcraft over 40 years and I agreed with you guys on every point. Been following you for the last few months and appreciate your work .

Nice kit Beau, l grew up in the woods but have been in New Orleans 30 years. Yes, I am old but very anti-bigot and find all of your videos pertinent and truthful. I was taught from youth to camp, hunt, fish, cook, start fires, clean camp site, etc and found your video very instructional even as a refresher for me to watch. As a side note, I would add a couple of inflatable PFDs for anyone camping near the Gulf coast or a river, really no extra weight or space issues and could potentially save a life.

I've been revisiting my gear and using your VID as a guide for edc and go bag. I love those SOS tins...where could one find those? Thanks for the content, but especially for the critical thinking.

i found a cheap price on a decent small bag with tools for those of us who don't have good knives-- i won't post a link to buy stuff but happy to direct anybody else like me whose only blades are sewing scissors

It's nice to know my bugout bag has all the proper equipment. And even better, I have two of them, one for me and one for the spouse. I've added some cold weather items as it can get downright cold where I am. I definitely learned something on starting a fire. That "V" shape is a handy little trick.

Gotta take a look at this soon. I am an organizer in Alabama working on emergency/disaster go-bags for those in rural communities and small towns community resilience and mutual aid. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I'm thinking I'm late to the game on these bags...
