14 Hours

Hey everyone!

At the time this is posted, it will be 14 hours until my flight and hopefully me leave for Montana. I have my first video to show you. I have been cursed with a deep voice, so I'm a bit hard to understand. If you guys find it really hard to understand, I can try to make transcripts in the future, but I may not have the time. Let me know how it is.




Some main points in the video:

Handkerchief: These are important more than most people realize because you can tie them around your neck and avoid major sunburns. I learned that in Mexico and got the handkerchief there as a gift.

Multi-tool: This is used for an array of different things, pretty much any situation when you need a tool. The main components are a knife, a saw, scissors, pliers, and wire cutters.

First-aid kit: This is one of the most important items. I have had to use it for myself and other people on hiking trips. It contains an ace bandage, matches, band aids, and sanitary wipes.

Duct tape: One of the most useful appliances. Period. It is waterproof and sticks to almost anything. Used properly, you can use it to help make rope, clothing, shelter, ect. I would probably only use it to mend things that get ripped, such as a backpack.

Day pack: This is a small backpack I'd bring during the day. It can fit a the essentials plus a bit more of anything you might need.

That's all for this post. I might be able to make another post the day I arrive in Montana, but I won't make a promise a can't keep.

Otherwise, see you later,
Ben
