A warning to the world - here is some old footage that I had lying around from the July Riots of 2021.. where South Africa was almost destroyed by countless looters - and communities were forced to defend themselves. More footage in this thread. 👇🏻
Two pieces of patrol kit that I cannot do without - my @JimGreenFW AR8's and quality Dubbin. Here's how I look after my boots:
/1
Step 1: Remove the laces and place them with your normal washing. Step 2: Give the boots a solid brushing with a soft-haired brush. Once done, wipe down with a DRY cloth. It's important that you get all of the dust and dirt off for the next step.

Step 3: Because I go into some real health hazard type areas - I like to give my boots a quick wash with Chlorhexidine.. a very weak solution that's immediately rinsed off. Step 4: Apply a thick coat of Dubbin. Once done, wipe the boots over with the same cloth you just used.

1/ I started working on logging farm murders in South Africa via a visual Google Maps pin system in 2022 - here are the links, it is a work in progress. Select a pin for more info - swipe up if using your phone. The project will be completed and up to date soon!
During the July Riots of 2021, I was part of a multi-disciplinary team that was assisting all over Johannesburg. The below thread contains some of the information (highlights) I managed to find via old logs - not all info is 100% accurate.
