Can we safely say there is still no guarantee but there's nothing wrong with being humanly prepared as possible. I think we all know this I just wanted to state. Your the man Mike. Love your videos and all the knowledge you share. Keep it coming.🇺🇸

Very nice video and I want to thank you for posting this. One thing I did not see you mention is an extra pair of light weight hiking boots for summer and a pair of heavy duty hiking boots in colder weather. Extra socks also which might be in your bugout bag but we did not see the contents of, in this video. You gave me some things to add to my vehicle for day to day travel as well as longer trips. With times as they are, and seem to be headed, I do appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with us.

Hi Mike, I appreciate the ideas and information you provide in your videos and channel. I have always been someone who has a mindset of preparedness and prudence. Coronavirus has made me realize that I can do better in terms of preparedness, especially mobility. I've been on a recent binge of your channel, and I'm willing to admit that I'm a novice, and it's easy for one to get flooded in information overload and choices for overlanding rig setups. While I do find this video informative, it doesn't quite give me a hierarchy of essential modifications in order of importance or a cost breakdown for how much one can expect to invest in the proper equipment. I wouldn't mind investing in preparedness because I know I would derive some satisfaction and sense of security from being prepared, but I also know I could use such equipment to go camping, hiking, traveling, or other hobbies that I enjoy anyway. I understand that every vehicle is different, each person has different needs or uses, and budget can vary, but could you create a resource that provides a list of mods in order of priority with a cost breakdown and different options at various price levels? If someone has $1000, where on one's vehicle or on which mods would you recommend that person invest that $1000? What about $5000? What about $10, 000? And how much did it cost you to create that rig, if you don't mind sharing? Also, how do you afford to pimp out 4 + overlanding rigs? In terms of equipment, how should one balance investing between defensive/safety equipment and mobility equipment and gear? Can you expand on these topics in your videos or site and create a resource for this information that easily digestible and almost a step-by-step process? I would rather not spend what little discretionary income I have on unnecessary mods when others are more vital. Since the purpose of Fieldcraft Survival is to provide these kinds of resources and information, I think you could make this information stupid simple and organized for novices like me. Sometimes I wonder if you're trying to juggle too many aspects of preparedness at once: defense, skills, mindset, mobility, fitness, load out, gear, equipment, etc. Sometimes I wonder if you're just flossing on us instead of informing us on the available options, key decisions you've made, and the reasons why you made them. We, responsible citizens, need this kind of information in these current times more than ever. You not only have the knowledge and experience to share, but you have a platform on which to share it. That you do this because you feel a civic duty or responsibility is noble, and I appreciate all of your diligence. Thank you for your service, and thank you for your content.

I only ever used my winch once... (And it was worth every penny!)

[TombGuard]

Scrolling through videos looking for an issue my buddy's having and I see your vid. You're amazing and making me proud! Line 6 always! MM#400

[ryandunne]

they make bullbars for the dodge ram here in Australia you should look at one of them they provide way better front end protection

[timothymontgomary]

Well said, well done! I hope people are listening!

[naetuir]

This is a very cool video. Nicely done. One of the things that I have in my head though... what about if you're involved in some kind of EMP incident? That isn't all that uncommon, and this type of truck would be moderately exposed to electrical problems from what I can tell. Not saying I have solution, just thinking about it.

[ScottyM]

I'm 4 years late seeing this video, which I liked. I have a question for you: Is there a plus to diesel as compared to regular gas beyond personal preferences?

[chronicbullets]

maintain your vehicle would be the first thing i'd talk about. I"m not a millitary person but i am a mechanic.

[whsl]

What brand soft top is that on the Ram. Great set up btw. Thank you and thank you for serving our country.

[dormandavis]

Mike what are your thoughts on a M1 carbine with a collapsible stock? I have one and I’m impressed with it.

[BadgerMcblasty]

Yea that’ll be great in an EMP or solar mass ejection scenario. I’m guessing you’ve taken this into account and it’s basically a virtual faraday cage...
Right?

[seenixwo]

Did you change your gears putting a size 37 tires on your truck? I would like to know what’s the slip tank setup to be able to go 2000 miles with one fill up?

[RosterNumber]

Why do you prefer diesel fuel over gasoline? Thanks in advance--

[oooweetv]

Also, glad I can finally say I got to see Mike Glover’s Cockpit 😉😈🤣

[flydriveride]

Do you bother with light armor on your vehicle? III+ to IV?

[carlosdanger]

Yes I cut my grass with a lawnmower, I'm not Billy bob Thornton

[jeffreycoulter]

Real men carry handkerchiefs (advice from my grandfather). One for a face mask, the other for my nose.

[nopagopremium]

What about when you only got a motorcycle!? Lol my litte old reliable 125cc gets me everywhere with cents of gas
