A former Marine, currently in the National Guard shows you how to build medical packs to stop bleeding from a traumatic wound. With a first aid kit like these examples you could take care of yourself during an emergency, or assist another person in need of attention, possibly saving a life. There’s more to it than gauze and tape though. You must train, and develop this skill set. What’s in your med bag? Thanks for visiting Survival Bros.

Survival Bros opens a brand new blade called the Cold Steel Recon Tanto. Watch the HD video for the glorious tech specs, and the reasons why we purchased this model. The weapon will be going to Afghanistan on deployment soon. It’s a magnificent tool, and a work of art. Plus, since it’s a Cold Steel, you know its been torture tested to the max, and can take any beating you can dish out. Like the Recon Tanto knife? Tell us about it.
In this video we check out a new tool for the woods, cover the details, and our planned usage. I can’t wait to throw this tomahawk! The Cold Steel Frontier Hawk feels extremely well balanced. It’s an excellent value for the low retail price of just $39.99. Make sure to visit http://www.coldsteel.com to watch their awesome videos, and request a free product catalog and DVD.
You can’t go wrong with the Cold Steel Frontier Hawk in your hand.

Jason shows off his big bad three wheeler at The Cove near the beach. This vehicle can carry massive amounts of cargo, and it handles extremely well. I’ve seen him drift it, and ride on two wheels down the prom in Seaside, OR. Like his survival cycle? It’s comfortable, and functional. You’ll see it coming with the contrasting red and flat black paint. Survival Bros loves that it’s high visibility, even though it sits low. The extra lights make it considerably safer on the road less traveled. Thanks for visiting our emergency preparedness blog. Enter your email on the top left of the screen to subscribe! Peace.

In this HD video I show you my new Dr. Scholl’s Pain Relief Orthotics. I’ve been testing them for about three weeks, and they have scored off the chart in overall quality. This type is made just for men, and they fit size 8-12 shoes. I cut them down to size, threw them in my sneakers, and went to work. I was standing on concrete for 10 hours a day, and before I bought these inserts my feet were absolutely killing me. I had intense heel pain, and cramping throughout my entire foot. I couldn’t take a break, so I had to try something.
First I purchased a pair of flat, massaging gel inserts. They sucked. I still had heel pain. I took the off-brand cushioners out of my kicks to return, but they left a strange indentation on my insoles, so I’m going to keep them in those dress shoes for good. Then I stepped it up, and spent a few more dollars on the Dr. Scholl’s. I’ve never owned a pair of arch supports that weren’t custom to my flat feet, so I was skeptical. However, like I said in the video, they worked to relieve my pain immediately, and I forgot all about my discomfort. I’ve been using these ever since, and I had to recommend them to everyone that follows the Survival Bros blog. Please comment if you have purchased these orthotics, or something like it.
Cameron McKirdy from Survival Bros shows you how to gather freebies at a motel. Embrace hoarding, and be the real prepper you can be. Not that I’d do it, but I bet you could walk into any hotel and politely ask for another shampoo, soap, and coffee and you’d get hooked up without being questioned about what room you are staying in. Just saying. I’ve already put my freebies in Ziploc bags for storage. Happy prepping. Please SUBSCRIBE to Survival Bros on YouTube! Thank you.

Survival Bros drives in dangerous road conditions through Champaign, Illinois. It was 29 degrees. First came an inch of snow, then freezing rain, followed by a hail storm. The worthless rental car, a Kia Soul, was covered in an inch of ice, and struggled to stay on the slippery road! There were accidents all over the place, but it looks like the worst winter weather is behind us now. Stay tuned for additional HD videos. Please enter your email on the top left side of the blog to follow all of our posts. More intense stuff soon. Thanks for visiting! Get prepared.

Survival Bros is in Champaign, Illinois with the news. Cameron McKirdy films an HD video in the middle of a huge winter snow storm they are calling Nika. Roads are covered in dangerous ice, with packed snow on top making for bad driving conditions. Don’t try to commute unless you have a 4×4 truck, or something with excellent traction, and considerable weight. This weather is brutal on your skin, so use as much protection as possible, such as ChapStick and hand lotion. Cam is wearing a Hoo-Rag bandana on his face to stay warm, and has epic GOR-TEX gloves from Trekmates out of the UK. Check those brands out, and get prepared. Unfortunately, the worst Winter weather is yet to come. Tomorrow Survival Bros will be enduring temperatures near zero degrees. Cam will have another cold weather update for you soon. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe to us on Youtube, and follow this emergency preparedness blog via email. Be safe. Peace.
How’d you like to drive on this? Road conditions keep getting worse. To be continued…
A delivery bike quipped for an arctic blast in Champaign, IL.
The roads are clear here now, but it got down to -25 last night.
Mother Nature had no mercy this morning. I wore shorts to suffer for fun. I got lots of looks and almost caused a few accidents. Ladies like my calves. It would be a shame not to show them. Seriously though, it was so cold my teeth hurt from breathing. Back in Oregon my friends and family are dealing with tons of unexpected snow. Hopefully they are safe, and have food and supplies stockpiled for events like this. More soon!
