Apart from being OTT gung-ho, there was some interesting stuff in there. Thanks for posting.

Yes some interesting stuff. Hands up all those who have a spark plug on hand for breaking car windows. Where is the plug supposed to come from?

I think it goes to show how much a lot of us take for granted the knowledge we have attained through our preps. While there were little things like the spark plug and the exact method to kicking open a door (donkey kick..... love it), a lot of it is (to us) very basic, I very much doubt there is one of us here who couldn't or wouldn't have at least the knowledge on how to build a still or think to throw in some food and water into our BOV.
Good fun anyway and I really like the scientist dude.... not to mention the chainsaw attachment at the end!!

Yeah, why didn't I think of attaching a chain saw to a rifle before, since yesterday I've been eyeing off my Stihl trying to figure out how to mount it. The usefullness post SHTF goes without saying, but also pre SHTF it would be great say when encountering a snake while cutting fire wood, or conversly if you are out hunting and happen across a nice log that's too large for your fire

Lol, yeah, now your car runs [if it does at all] on one less spark plug. Notice the power cord for the chainsaw? I've always imagined that it might be possible to resupply an absolutely essential item such as the chainsaw by using an electric one connected to a solar panel and battery I suppose, though on a firearm, it's not particularly practical

ol, yeah, now your car runs [if it does at all] on one less spark plug. Not to mention that to get under the bonnet you pretty much have to get inside the car first, and once there you don't need to break in because you already have. And who carries a plug spanner and 1/2" rachet drive with extension with them. All pretty silly I thought, what's wrong with a rock? I have an electric chainsaw as well, they are pretty damn good actually, and quiet (which is why I have one), but of course you need power

To get into a bonnet a coat hanger to grab the cable usually does the trick. Then again, it's not particularly tricky to get into a car, an automatic center punch.
