Winter Car Preparedness Tips in Northern Woodlands
This is a collection of a few tips regarding winter car preparedness that I filmed while waiting for my coffee to perk after camping out overnight. My tips focus on things that mainstream sources don't usually mention, and they are primarily appropriate for remote areas that get a fair amount of snow and have a lot of trees.

RETUR
Return-to-Cold-Adaptation---Winter-is-Coming!
This is just a quick update on the morning commute to discuss my current cold adaptation efforts. It was 32 degrees when I left the house, and the north wind had a bit of bite to it. It's just a hint of what is coming, but I'm preparing now. As usual, sorry about the wind and road noise, and the stubborn camera mount that keeps moving.
For more about cold adaptation and brown adipose tissue (BAT), see the videos in my YouTube BAT Man playlist.

COLD
Cold-Adaptation
This was the very first video I uploaded to my YouTube channel.
A brief chat on the drive to work about cold adaptation, non-shivering thermogenesis, and brown adipose tissue. 20 degrees Fahrenheit, window open, and short-sleeved shirt - no shivering! March 8, 2019

HIGH-
High-Rep-Zercher-squats
This is my most-viewed video on YouTube, from way back in 2019.
Only 105 pounds, and only a few minutes, but boy did it hurt!
This is a great way to have a full-body workout and a near-death experience simultaneously.

THE M
The-Most-_Functional_-Exercise-for-Preparedness
My thoughts about physical fitness from a preparedness perspective. Yes, pull-ups, deadlifts, Parkour skills, etc. are all great exercises and have good carry-over to "real world" activities, but for overall functionality for preparedness, it's hard to beat basic walking and loaded carries.
For examples of some of the things discussed, see my BarnBody playlist.
I want to give a shout-out to my friend and teammate, Ferry County SAR-5, who saw me stopped alongside the road and pulled off a little further up the road to make sure I was okay. That's who I waved to, and his truck subsequently shows up behind me. Although I was fine (just setting up my camera to begin filming), his concern was much appreciated!

DOUBL
Double-Tripod-Campout-in-the-Snow-and-Rain
This was an overnight experiment with a different shelter and bed setup, as well as a chance to practice skills under lousy conditions. While it was actually a bit of a luxury having the extremely warm sleeping bag and a lot of extra gear, it was still challenging gathering wood and starting fires in the wet snow. Cooking dinner and breakfast in cast iron over a campfire is always a pleasure, as is sleeping in a comfortable bed outdoors. The great workout of snowshoeing up a hill while pulling a heavy sled was just a bonus!

TIME
Time-to-Lose-Some-Weight
Well, I can't ignore reality. I'm overweight and that is not healthy or conducive to achieving some of my fitness goals. I need to fix that.
I forgot to mention while filming that I am starting this process immediately. When there is a need for improvement, there's no point waiting for some arbitrary date such as the new year. The best time to start is NOW! Yesterday I got in close to two hours of skating at a moderate pace. Today was a rest day, and tomorrow I'll be back in the "gym" (barn) for a high-intensity kettlebell session.
Another point that I forgot is that I am also going to work on getting to bed earlier on a consistent basis, as good sleep patterns also help with improving body composition.
I will update periodically (though possibly just in passing while filming other topics) during the process.

More-High-Rep-Squats-With-185_-Edging-Closer-to-50-Reps
Four minutes of pure misery! This time I used the same weight (185 pounds) that I did eight weeks ago, but managed an additional eight reps. Hopefully within another couple of months I'll be able to hit 50 reps with it. Then I'll increase the weight a bit and start building up reps again. My goal for this year is to get 50 reps with at least 200.
After that squat set I didn't have much left in me, but I did manage a couple of sets of Z presses and close-grip sternum chins (only one set on camera). I decided to experiment with cleaning the bar from the floor for the presses, which was awkward but at least workable with low weight.
I'm already quite sore, and I know it will be worse in a day. If you have not tried high-rep squats, I have no way to describe the impact it has on my entire body, both in pain and fatigue. Nevertheless, I find them to be beneficial for strength, muscle endurance, and mental toughness. As long as I can stay healthy and injury-free, I expect I will do this semi-regularly for a long time to come.

PUSH/
Push_Pull_Row-Workout
Only one full "rep" out of eight in my driveway session. It's tough having to periodically make steering corrections, as getting it rolling is always the hardest part, but that's what happens when I don't have a "driver". As always, there's no need for a commercial gym or lots of high-tech equipment to get a really effective full-body workout.

BARNB
BarnBody-Low-Budget-and-DIY-Gym-Equipment,-Part-2-(the-Fun-Stuff)
This is part two of two videos showing some of my inexpensive improvised, repurposed, modified, and/or DIY gym equipment. Note that I have actually purchased several items, but may be using them in unusual ways or as part of some other system. Most things that I build or cobble together from assorted components make use of items I already have laying around from other projects or used/damaged items given to me by friends, family, or customers.
I realize this is quite long, but I didn't want to skip over relevant details in order to cut the length. I really enjoy some of these items, and it's very satisfying to be able to add such equipment to my gym at minimal or no cost. I hope it helps someone to improve their own gym equipment on the cheap. If the video is too long, or you don't want to listen to my rambling, feel free to simply fast forward or skip ahead to whatever items interest you.
