hello everybody and welcome to survival Russia today we're going to take a look at the how I do my water crossings when it's needed and sometimes it is and this method of used also in the army and works pretty well also I want to test a protective bag I made for this weapon it made it out of a class palatka which is a Russian poncho she'll to have kind of a thing how I made this protective bag and so on is on a block I'm just started up so there's going to be link description on the block there's also an article about the Scout I did and there's lots of bear tracks and so on but basically is a place for a new window camp but let's get started so autumn is here and it's not a specifically warm day is windy as hell so excuse me the noise if there is any but this will sort of like be what I would carry especially if I knew I had to cross waters of some kind this area's full of rivers and creeks and swarms small lakes and this and that so uh yeah let me get this stuff off and let's get on with it this pack is an awesome pack very cheap water repellent and the extremely tough

there was some old coffee sneakers but first I was this Basha here in the army we use the symbol of ponchos and they work great I never did it with a passion but i guess it work so what we want is we want our bass your poncho on the ground basically want to strip off all our clothes boots on these socks everything then we want to put it inside the poncho or the top or whatever we have the cover here for this thing are very very simple quite long for a reason and have two loops here also for reason has assets played by meter from a plant palatka and there you can read all about it on the blog and then we'll be able to carry it like this the first before the crossing and all that stuff what approving items for non waterproof rocks and so on look something like this here's a wool sweater with Perry but it's awesome undergarments on these wool socks and here's a jagged then I forgot to Watson coat tie the knot here so yeah but it goes like this sucks plastic bags and if you want out throw the first plastic bag put in your item who like this put on your finger here and then there was that's what we call it anything is army anyway because in a region vacuum pack then you spin it just to reduce the size you normally retire Nadia close as you can get your knife out cut it and then you melt it here with a lighter so it's completely sealed you can see looks pretty vacuum packed and we see these items they've been in the they've been packed for at least four days or something so how can water prove the items I will now get totally undressed I will spare you the footage of that and then I will twist myself up in my rain gear one reason for putting on your rain gear is you stay camouflaged after the crossing but also when it's like this and even cold I done this in November with frost on the ground and so on if the rain gear would actually keep a little bit of your body heat in stay tuned for the fashion show here normally we put the helmet here also but I don't have a helmet at the moment so I have pus I don't wear those all goes boots webbing and all that stuff helmet and then comes the rest of this astrology are clearly American because they're x large to XL large they are like a huge I could say makes me feel skinny nice so now that we are in our rain clouds and all our clothes on here you want to collect everything in a big bundle into what we called the caramel so let's do that basically you want to collect it all together here I'm tired of trouble and a passion of course a little bit bigger than a poncho and by the way with the Poncho's you'll just take the hood say unless it's no closer than legend so there will not be any holder of course but here we really want to make sure that you have all the sides but you don't want a big hole down here somewhere where the water sleeping because this is going to float if it's correctly done so I'm style we would tie a weapon on top of this caramel here and not in a bag of course and the swim behind it like that we are ready the canvas bag and when clothes and one Sofia

well

well Harry yeah what's dangerous

ah still be struggling home alive there man that was Harry excuse me the trans-siberian railroad out there just how this here one kilometer one what a how can we go one mile away so still got them here Helen to close out there damn it always took me down what time as much denser than I thought it would be gave the slick to look at the gear oh fuck whoa I cannot stress enough how creepy that was I had to fight was all I had to stay level in the water when my legs went down all this was all on the growth just keeps dragging my legs tear in my eye I had to struggle had to struggle hard not even blood taste in my mouth I just look at the weapon here don't know if it went on cam it was tough to get out of that that was very very tough that was not fluffy at all what a low craft Mart for anything ready to go if need be since it's an AK it will most likely be ready anyway let's take a look here see what we got I would have put in trouble without this caramel here one hundred percent because I was hanging on to that one pretty well then maybe with two arms that it would have been easier who open on right hand and the rocks urgh and this one in the other but she sure got a little wet because I tipped it upside down which it is not meant to basically this thing is nice and dry

so thank you for your time thank you for watching check the new blog on blogger link is in description and there's links to facebook as well and see you next time get out and train and get it done guy
