How To Escape The City (Urban Evasion While Being Hunted)

I swear Garand thumb is slowly becoming a small indie film studio by now

2 survival videos back to back?! what did we do to earn this gift

As a plumber in the u.s. tank water heaters can have anywhere between 30 to 60 gallons of filtered city water in them at any given time if they havent been emptied. Use the drain on the bottom of the heater and open faucets on the hot side to break the hydrolock. Lightly filter to get rid of harmless sediment.

Ok, I am going to share one of my tricks I figured out. If you are in a city and it's nighttime, winter, your cold wet, freezing.... find a POST OFFICE. The lobbies are open for post box customers, and they are dry and well heated. Look in the waste basket for junk mail someone has thrown away. If someone comes in just shuffle the letters etc. around and act like you just picked up your mail. Walk out and away, then go back after they leave. I truly believe this saved my life one BAD WINTER NIGHT. You're welcome.

I know everyone likes the gun videos, but these survival/evasion videos are absolutely your best. Would be really cool to see more environments like farmland, open deserts, rural towns, etc.

I had an old gangster tell me once while visiting a city. Over the years I've paid attention to the demographics of what he said in multiple city's, and it seems to be universally true. He said always be mindful of change in elevation. Almost all cities are built with the highest end of the city built on the highest ground. Anytime the elevation drops, so does the class of neighborhood. If walking 2 blocks downhill? One needs to start looking over their shoulder. Doesn't matter if it's Atlanta or Cleveland Ohio. Risk increases in the lower elevations.

It blows my mind how many veterans quickly realize how our Government isn't to be trusted and how many of them help the people with learning the things they need to know to be safe and stay out of reach. I have so much love for all of you. You are loved and I support you even if you don't agree with me politically.

All is trickier with kiddos. As a single mom, where I go, my little one goes. Would love to see content that caters to survival with children.❤

You guys should definitely do a hide and seek/tag style video actually applying the things y'all are teaching. Maybe have Micah, Charles & Admin try to find/capture y'all in a city for a few hours.

I’ve heard an interesting anecdote from a police helicopter pilot once. He said if they were looking for a suspect in a crowded urban area, they would go relatively low (still above buildings) and look for whoever pedestrian has not stopped and started looking up. Makes sense, if you are just minding your own business and suddenly a helicopter starts hovering over you, you are going to stop and look like “wtf??”

Growing up in terrible cities in Chile I can say most of the pointers shared in this video are true survival stuff all Chileans need to know. The others are sweet things I didn't know about. Now I'm a more complete city survivalist. Thank you gents

This felt like the intro to an amazing survival thriller. Props on the cinematography

In an urban setting the "construction worker" look is a HUGE advantage. I used to deliver to construction sites and I constantly blew past security gates, check points, "authorized personnel " doors (even with alarms) and I was NEVER questioned. It blew my mind that having a hi-vis vest and a dirty old hardhat on was the key to the city.

The firearms are good, the science is hilariously whimsical but, you can tell by just how collected Mike is in his delivery of these survival videos, that this is his wheelhouse and he feels right at home explaining it all.

I'm a lifelong small town boy who recently moved to a big city, and this is invaluable! Some of this I've thought about, but a lot of this is new and good information!

Thanks you and the algorithm for this video. One of the mottos I follow, within reason, is that "I'd wrather have it and not need it than need it and not have it". Be it equipment or, in this case, the free information you have given. I hope to never have to be in a situation to use this but at least I have this extra to take with me going forward. :)

Without Charlie, I do not feel as though Mike would have survived this situation. Thank you for your service Charles.

a short film where you guys have the protagonists properly displaying all these survival tips to show it within context would be absolutely awesome!

I love it. This feels very post-apocalyptic, which I'm really into 👍 It'd be cool if you have more post-apoc scenarios to play with!

Loved the example of the elevated bridge hide site; advice I read from a prolific stealth camper was “Go up. Ordinary people never look up.” Staked out on a college campus once, my buddy and I ended up hiding inside a large hollow art installation on the lawn. Among the reasons I think it worked so well was that most people mentally categorize art as “thing that is not touched/is appreciated from a distance”. (it was a giant metal box we did it no harm)
