hi.  thank you so much for a really informative and interesting video.
subbed.
kind regards.

Such a great video.  I've watched your channel for years under the name 'Sawdust and Survival' or prior to that 'Average Joe Survival'.  You've pretty much been a constant for about the last 10-15 years.  So glad you're creating again.

Very good points brother. From Australia.

Another great video Rod good to see you back out and about again. I don’t think any male will fight for this government certainly not leave their loved ones to fend for themselves . Younger generation are more in to tik tok and other social media platforms so I don’t think they would make it through basic training let alone fight 🤣 woods looked so peaceful and tranquil and the metal pot for the fire is such a great idea thanks for that 👍look forward as always to your next adventure ohhh and mum could have a sideline of knitting items that might be good to protect camping gear -like you say you can’t beat homemade cottage industry items that seem to be die-ing out .

You gave some great tips here, things I never would have thought of.

I could do with a woolly sleeve for my gas bottle good Idea

🫵😐 YOUNG MAN! 👋🤠 howdy, my favourite part is when you were doing all the camping stuff 🙂

Whenever you don't feel you are able to find purpose, it usually ends up finding you.

Great video Rod as always. I agree with all you say . I like your positive mindset despite what we re facing in the UK ..I too am struggling with purpose, with cost of living and the atmosphere in Britain at the moment it's easy to feel very unmotivated to say the least.  And yes I d be very surprised if we ll see many women ( or men ) rush to fight for the cultural Marxist dystopia formerly called Great Britain ..

100% right about the digital age and ai not a fan deleted Instagram and Snapchat as there rubbish old school is the way and will never get tiktok keep up the good video mate 💪

If you have time on your hands I recommend taking up fishing. I have been off work for the last month on doctor's orders after 'losing my shit' one day in the office. I decided to take up fishing for my mental health and me and my youngest daughter have been going everyday straight after school and most Saturdays. For survival food it would be invaluable but I don't think that we preppers realise how difficult it actually is. Fishing in the age of the internet has moved on greatly since I was a 12 year old boy (40 years ago now lol) so if anyone thinks that in the apocalypse they will just go out there with a newly required rod, reel and terminal tackle and catch supper they are in for a surprise. To anyone reading this I would recommend the hobby which is a great way to get out into the outdoors, with a purpose! On a plus side the men who frequent the rivers and lakes (and tackle shops) tend to be the sort of men you would want as friends in the coming difficult times.😂

What if you're  purpose  is to
Train us fer when it happens  to us
Here in Central  coast  California

I watched an AI video  of a girl camping  in the rain. Took a bit before  I realized  it. Spotify  is full of AI artists now. Humanity  is basically  done. Im kinda glad actually

The social contract never existed in the first place, and whats coming will end any illusion of the state being a force thats there to do us good.

28:08 arms look huge. you been eating all that spinach mr pop eye!!

No, there is no purpose. Next time you go camping bring a Camus book.

Trust.

people need to accept the UK has been a third world country for awhile now and to start to prepare. the rich will look after themself first before the poor

Having a known spot you can retreat to in the woods for a few nights out to contemplate our existence, purpose and how we fit into all this madness modern socity inflicts upon us, whilst in solitude or with like minded friends is paramount 👍

Don't turn to religion, as a species you'd of thought we'd learned a lesson there with all the death and destruction it has caused over the centuries and will continue to do so,  but nope, to this day it brainwashes billions to sub divide and clash.

Stay positive :)

Everyone in the modern era tends to look at 'purpose' through the lens of a slave. A slave needs an immediate purpose or else it's a worthless liability. A free man's purpose is found in the totality of a life well lived. The Creator already calculated your purpose, and summarized its meaning. You just have to walk through it.
