Survival Bros Product Testing The Gerber Prodigy Blade By Breaking a Glass Car Window
Using a “survival” knife to break glass for people locked out of their vehicle, Survival Bros helps by smashing a small car window, so the owner can get his keys and go home. The gentleman’s girlfriend locked the keychain in the car by accident before setting off on a day hike. At first, their solution was to simply throw a rock at the shiny, new BMW Sedan! They decided against that method of breaking in. He didn’t care about money it would cost to repair his ride, because he has auto insurance. I guess insurance covers women. The couple would have been stranded on the mountain at night, if they couldn’t get in. There’s NO cellphone service in The Forest. Fortunately, she was able to reach her arm in without getting hurt to pull the door handle open from the inside.
Would you call the Gerber Prodigy a true survival knife? Comment. It’s smaller, and only has versions featuring irritating serrations. Most friends I’ve encountered aren’t fond of this blade profile, because it takes away from the cutting surface area. Total length of 9.75 inches and blade length of 4.75 inches.
On the plus side, the sheath is quality, making it easy to lash, or attach to your backpack. MOLLE compatible, with a leg strap to try as a carrying position. The rubberized grip works well, and fits in hand ergonomically. It’s a bargain entry level survival or combat knife. Whatever you want to call it, or use it for, the price is right on Amazon for under $40 with free shipping. I’m going to beat mine to Hell this summer in the woods, then consider packing the LMF II, or something new. Have any knife recommendations for Survival Bros?

Watch Survival Bros breaking car windows with that blade too! It’s considerably bigger, and better.

Mitsubishi Fuso FG 140 4×4 truck spotted in Seaside, Oregon! This emergency preparedness rig has an ideal setup for extreme mobile living, and protection from undead zombies among us. Would you car camp in this monster? It looks comfortable, and well designed. It may be bigger than I’d want for bugging out, and I don’t know about the color, but it’s an excellent truck platform to work from. The Fuso just needs a snorkel if it’s going to spend the winter on the Oregon Coast. I didn’t see a camera system installed either for extra security.
This beast looks like a completely custom job, made to be multi-purpose. There’s few places it couldn’t go on Earth. I’d love to hear what you have to say about this setup in the comment section, or on our YouTube channel. I’m sure this vehicle will be on the road for a long time, baring an unforeseen marauders, or natural disasters, etc. Please SUBSCRIBE to Survival Bros by entering your email on the top left side of the screen! Stay tuned for more emergency preparedness news, because you can’t know what’s around the corner.

Survival Bros has been camping at Saddle Mountain. This is a quick, and easy breakfast beverage guaranteed to get you moving, like it did me. It tastes great, and mixes well, even with cold liquids. Directions:
1. Dump 1 packet of Carnation Instant Breakfast mix into container.
2. Open instant coffee crystals and pour into bottle too.
3. Add 6 ounces of spring water, plus 6 ounces of chocolate hemp milk.
4. Shake, and enjoy.
This is a terrific pick-me-up in the A.M. Maybe you’d like to sip it slowly a hike, or while going about your day. Survival Bros prepares this recipe because it’s delicious, fast, and doesn’t make a mess to create. Just toss the wrappers, rinse out your container, and get on with it. Peace and love from the road.

Notes: Everyday Carry Backpack items change all the time. Make something like this for yourself for everyday emergency preparedness. My pack also has a rain cover, but I have considered buying a medium sized dry bag. I also carry 3m protective sunglasses, paracord bracelet, keychain with tools, one Hoo-Rag bandana, my wallet, and a mace pen, but the self-defense weapon fell out in my van before filming. Oh well, I survived. Please like, comment, and subscribe to the blog and our Survival Bros channel on YouTube. We are on Facebook too! Thanks for watching. Peace and love.

Take a look at my new commuter bike called the Giant Sedona. It’s been way more comfortable to cruise in than my hardtail mountain bike. I like being able to ride up high, and adjust the handlebars so I can sit up straight. In the HD video you can see all of the extras I threw on it. Building a bike, although it not from scratch, is still a blast, I purchased new Defender fenders to keep myself fresh, a tiny black bell so I don’t have to scream at all the tourists to move or die, water bottle holders for hydration 24/7, and a big manly basket to hold my wildflowers in (more like edible mushrooms). Andy at Prom Bike Shop in Seaside, Oregon told me this bicycle would be an excellent candidate for a 49cc motor, so I’m thing about that upgrade. It’s a work in progress. I’m just grateful to have a bike that doesn’t destroy me after riding it short distances. I’ve never owned a Giant before, but I’m sure I will be satisfied. Like the satin black color with gold trim? It’s different. You’ll see more videos and blogs featuring this whip soon. Thanks or supporting Survival Bros. The website has been doing great, and our YouTube audience is growing rapidly.
