Removing the inner strands of 550 paracord and hiding them in your PANTS so that you might have a chance to use the cordage as a self defense or escape tool in a hostage situation. I inspect the construction of my MultiCAm BDU bottoms looking for secret hiding places where we can conceal our 6 foot long piece of inner paracord. HT MUSIC @CapCutofficial

Removing the inner strands of 550 paracord and hiding them in your HAT so that you might have a chance to use the cordage as a self defense or escape tool in a hostage situation. I use a glue gun and a sail needle to demonstrate two ways of covertly attaching the cordage to the inner brim of my boonie cap. HT VIDEO @pexels559 MUSIC @CapCutofficial

RAID MOD. Knowing how to operate a Sewing Machine makes you indispensable in the aftermath of a SHTF situation. Who will MAKE the gear? Who will REPAIR the gear? I've Been on the Sewing Machine for 40 years now. I'm definitely no GUCCI, but I can fix and modify most everything. Think of your own gear; "MAN, IF THEY WOULD HAVE JUST STITCHED A LOOP HERE!" If you can sew, problem solved. Here I look at the RAID MOD, where you update a BDU blouse by removing the lower front pockets and sewing them onto the shoulders on the sleeves. YOu survive out of your pockets. Now you have two big ones that you can easily access if your wearing a chest rig. These pockets hold miniature survival kits and mission essential tools, like a compass and a whistle, that can be dummy corded to the interior of the pocket. Learn, at a basic level, how to using a sewing machine. It's important, Marion. Trust me. HT MUSIC @CapCutofficial

Your clothing IS YOUR SHELTER. It is your FIRST LINE of DEFENSE to combat the elements. I go over my CLOTHING gear and the importance of LAYERING, WIND BLOCKING GORE-TEX, WOOL, and SYNTHETICS. The gear in this video has saved my ass many a time in the cold, wet, unforgivingly damp winter weather of Oregon. UNDERWEAR - Nylon or Merino Wool Blend. Avoid Cotton in cold weather environments for it absorbs moisture and you'll freeze your balls or eggs off. BASE LAYER/PAJAMAS - USGI POLYPROPYLENE / 32 HEAT Probably the most important to me, equal only to my wool socks and caps and gloves. I have a superpower against the cold when wearing it. Massive game changer. My go-to bulletproof Base Layer is the USGI Extreme Cold Weather Polypropylene, TOP, and BOTTOM. They run about $25 each at my local Military Surplus store. Definitely worth the high cost. I also use the top and bottom set by 32 HEAT. Learned about them from Dave Canterbury. I've been using them for a few years and Highly recommend them, actually, everything I own from 32 HEAT has performed incredibly. (Don't get a Onesie or you'll shit yourself, literally) BELT I go with a traditional thick Leather belt. I've tried Nylon tactical belts...not for me. Way too flimsy. I carry a sidearm, GLOCK 19, so I need a sturdy, tough belt to securely hold my holster. Plus, in an emergency situation, you can eat the leather belt strap if you carry TAPA TIO in your MREs. T-SHIRT Nylon. No Cotton in cold weather/wet environments. Cotton Kills, not really but it does suck when it's your wet and it's 13 degrees out. SWEATER 100% Wool or Cashmere. The 3 Rules of Survival are; Wool. Wool. And Wool. Synthetics are a blessing that has their place, but you can never beat Mother Nature and History. Always wear what the Indigenous Native Peoples wear (for one, it looks cool and two, they are a lot smarter than we will ever be) Wool, Animal Furs, and Skins... It's worked for Billions of years, so there must be something behind it. GORE-TEX RAIN JACKET/WINDBREAKER I like lightweight GORTEX Shells with LARGE HOODS! They are never completely Waterproof as they claim, but with a little yearly spray down on the seams with the mighty FLEX SEAL..... yes, it works...been using it on gear for 25 years. excellent The wind is a killer. Blocking the wind from hitting your body with some sort of a Shell like a good GORTEX jacket is EXTREMELY important. I've been on gigs where I had a nice Win Blocking Shell and the poor bastard next to me did not. He froze all night because of the wind. I was warm and toasty as I silently giggled at his misfortune. HAT/CAP If you watch my videos you are used to seeing me wearing multiple hats. I'm BALD. I hate being cold on the dome. I use a Microfiber/Fleece cap followed by a 100% Wool US ARMY Patrol cap. I mix in a Baseball Cap or Boonie Cap to help shelter from the rain or sun and get a little 007 concealment for nonpermissive stitches. USGI PONCHO My favorite Rain Poncho. Once a season I go over all the outside seams with FLEXSEAL. I love the durability of its rip-stop nylon and its large size that is built to sister perfectly with the USGI WOOBIE. Buy one if you can. I've been using mine in the wet Oregon Rain for 10 years. I trust it.

Meet "EL BONGO" my quick, cheap, and easy diy Camo Helmet Cover Scrim. You'll need your environment dictated choice of Nylon Camo Scrim, a little Shock Cord and a Spring Loaded Toggle. These cost me about $10 in materials. If you buy Scrim in BULK, it's like $5. INSTRUCTIONS: Measure (40" x 24") and Cut your SCRIM. Fold your cut piece out and fold it over on itself. Weave in your Shock Cord (80") around all the edges. Make sure to Weave the Cordage through both layers of Scrim. Rotate the Scrim as you go. It will quickly begin to look like a Shower Cap. Work the Shock cord so that its Ends meet evenly after you complete the Weave of the circumference of the Scrim. Place your Toggle on the shock cord. Cut or Daisy Chain the remaining Shock Cord. Stretch out your Scrim so that it easily fits over your Helmet. Find nooks and crannies to run your Scrim around the Helmet. I go up and over my Headset, locking in the Shock Cord just below the Rails. Secure the Toggle making the Shock Cord taught. Put on your Helmet and Look in a mirror. Dress your scrim as to avoid any impedance to your vision. Take your time and be patient. After you make a few, you'll be able to rip them out for more Helmets, Backpacks and Gear. Remember, it's not an exact science. As long as it stays on securely and doesn't inhibit your functions (vision, headset controls, gear) it's good. I hope this video helps you create your own Helmet Scrim. It's important Marion, Trust Me.

This is my "V16"...the little brother of the Military Rescue Marker, the V17. I find fluorescent orange nylon ripstop bag-backpacks at thrift stores. Companies use them for promotions and Orange is actually a common color. This one cost me ten cents. I cut off the cordage it comes. I CUT BEHIND the seam to take advantage of its structure so the material won't fray as quickly. i use four 3 foot pieces of paracord and attach them to the corners using a "button" made with ultra light plastic marbles that you can get at any Dollar Store (you can use a smooth pebble or anything roundish. For a dollar or two, I now have a quick and ez to make Emergency Signal Panel I can use to signal aircraft or search parties. Total weight is 1.4 ounces. The weight is important to me because my signal panel lives in a pocket on my field top along with other lightweight precious survival items like a button compass, mini ferro rod and more. These items all add up, so keeping them as light as possible really pays off. Carry a signal panel on your body. It's important, Marion...Trust me. HT HANG TOUGH MERCH https://shorturl.at/dikrW
