This is one of my older videos I did a number of years ago. My apologies for the camera noise. 😁
How did you like the GPS12? I have one I picked up for next to nothing.
I ended up giving up on it haha and went old school map and compass. I do some recon on areas with google earth before I explore new terrain.
@@SurvivalScout2024
Five years ago I finally replaced the Cammenga compass I was issued in 1980. It still worked but had gotten too cloudy.
I never got the bug for electronic navigation. I 100% trust my map and compass.
It’s like the difference between driving a car with automatic transmission and having a clutch. The stick shift makes you feel like you’re really driving the car.
@@arctodussimus6198 Great analogy!!! Compass, map, Ranger beads, and usually some Google earth beforehand and off I go. I’ve found multiple cool places this way.
That is one awesome system you have got going on there! Though I would probably replace the big dump pouch with a Canteen/Cup set pouch, and try and squeeze in another small pouch containing some bankline, a space blanket and possibly a mini fishing kit if space permitted and it is useful in your environment. Still I guess you know what works for you.
All excellent suggestions! My belt system is always an evolving process. Just adds more enjoyment to the adventures when you try different combinations. Have a great day!
I second this suggestion.
My belt kit has a molle canteen pouch that has two small pockets on the outside. I have a canteen, cup, lid and stove inside the bigger pouch. With lighter, firestarters, solid fuel tabs, and purification tabs in the small pockets. If i needed to, I could stow it's contents and use the pouch to collect stuff.
I also wrap bankline around my knife sheath. A rifle magazine pouch will fit a cover element and/or fishing kit easily and I use pistol mag pouches for protein bars.
@@mikehotshots7607 Great setup! I’ve recently added a couple canteens and installed an H-harness to support the weight.
Love seeing surplus gear repurposed. Pretty cool.
Awesome! Have a great day!
Get some suspenders with some give to them. I clipped my belt like this to my sappi carrier overseas so it’d sit on my hips when walking but be lifted by my shoulders when we had to jump canals all the time. Most guys used the thick suspenders that pull it up some and do the same. Spread the load.
Very good tip! I’ve since put back on the yoke harness that came with this belt. It was a good choice 👍
Nicely thought out. I'd just upsize to a BK9 and lose the hatchet. It can do the same things and you save some weight. With the free space, you can add a good folder for the smaller jobs and a small sharpener. A folding saw is also a good fit. Tick and mosquito repellent is a must in the brush for me, ofc depending on the season and location.
Great suggestions!
I have a similar belt and mine differs in that I do not carry an Axe or a CAT Tourniquet (although I would if I carried a sidearm).
So similar belt here:
BELT SETUP
1) Streamlight Microstream
2) Mora Knife
3) Rolled up Dry sack
4) Maxpedition Janus Pack w Raincoat under the shock cord
5) Pathfinder Canteen assembly w Brew Kit
6) Vortex Monocular
7) Fenix P20ix
Survival
I am not anticipating a bushcraft full woods experience but I have the basics for Survival and I prefer to carry water but have the ability to boil it or use the Aqua Mira straw.
I would sit on my pack and cover with my raincoat for shelter as I have done in the past. And would use the heavy duty blanket for ground cover as a lean to or just wrapped in it.
I have means to start a fire, multiple ways to signal for help and cash once I get to an Urban environment.
Scout Recon
Depending on the mission I have an excellent optic tool and a pen and paper to make notes. And I have used a Silva Compass for many years.
I always have a spare hat, gloves attached to my gear with a carabiner and have smaller lights to save my main light. And my Fenix light can be used for self defense against animal attack or other with a 4K lumen output.
Total weight is under 7 pounds and if I were to add something it would be a Bahco Laplander to process wood.
Janus Pack has:
1) Emergency heavy duty blanket
2) Med Kit
3) Silva Compass
4) Whistle
5) Aqua Mura Water filter
6) SAK Huntsman
7) Fero Rod and a Bic lighter w tinder quicks
8) 550 paracord
9) Signal Mirror
10) Secondary knife
11) Spare batteries
12) Flashing emergency blinker
13) Emergency Cash
14) Leatherman Sidekick
15) Notebook and pen
Sorry for going over. Great video and hope my list can be of use to someone.

Thanks Jake for sharing some of your experience!! I’m sure many will appreciate your list…I do!!! Awesome!! Have a great day brother!!
Man make a video of it, i would watch it, just put your phone and record it
I love this kit! Been thinking about my ‘survival belt’ and this is a big inspiration. I’m a bigger fan of compass and map, so you don’t rely/are victim to battery power of your GPS, so let us know how you’re experiments with the GPS goes.
Also, can you include a link to where you got the belt, pouches, the Becker sheath you have, etc.?
Great kit!
Awesome! Go on eBay and type MTP POUCHES, and for the knife sheath, also go on eBay and type BK7 KYDEX SHEATH. Thats how I found the kit. Everything was ordered off of eBay. As for the GPS, I decided to not use it. I’m a paper map and compass guy 😀. Hope your belt kit turns out awesome!!!
A nice set up but I'm sure everyone would have some things different according to their own taste and experience. When I was taught survival in the forces (in the 70's) we were taught from the point of escape and evasion. Because of that we were taught Many alternate things like mental tricks. We were told that information is the best and lightest equipment you have "though it may weigh heavy on your mind". The law of three's was ended with, 3 seconds without hope. Hope and your mental state are an extremely important part of survival and should never be overlooked. To cope with this, we had to learn a poem off by heart and it had to be a poem that meant something to us personally. For me it was William Wordsworth's Daffodils. Read it and you will understand. It served two purposes. Firstly, when you hit rock bottom, you recite it to cheer yourself up. Secondly, if you take a fall, you recite it but if you can't remember it then you probably have concussion. I hope this helps.
@@kevinsmith7287 3 seconds without Hope…that’s about the best advice I’ve ever heard! I will check out the poem my friend! Thanks for taking the time to write an excellent comment!!
@@SurvivalScout2024 You are welcome my friend. Be sure and pick one that means something to you.
Too cool! Love the belt, great set-up.
@@globyois Sweet! Thanks my friend! Have a great weekend!
Great video and some great tools!
@@corneliusadventurers5821 Thanks my friend!
Great Video ! Upgrade the Survival Belt Kit with a Chest Pack ! You have the BIG knife, so say NO to the hatchet (or ax) that would need a Tourniquet ! Include two Canteens with the Cup and Stove Stand ! Then you can drink from one Canteen and Filter the water and then treat the water with a Tablet for the other Canteen ! Also make sure one Canteen Lid is compatible with your Gas Mask ! The Dump Pouch is a great idea and a must have so you are not being tracked by your litter ! My Watch EDC has a NATO/ZULU/EDC watchband with a Suunto Clip-on Compass ! Also any digital watch should be set in 24-Hour mode ! Stay safe and hope you make it back to the land of the FREE ! tjl
@@TimothyLipinski Thanks for the great tips!
Nice. I do like these. Mine are larger pouches with survival gear. But taking weight out of a backpack is good.
Good kit.
Thank you my friend! Have a great day out there!
You should get rid of the gps pouch get a smaller dump pouch and get a water bottle steel and cup in a pouch make sure you have the 5 c's you just need cordage and cover
Yes, great points! Thanks!
Your kit is amazing 🎉
Thanks my friend! Amazing how surplus can be repurposed! Have a great day!
No gloves to protect your hands or canteen and cup set.
I had the same idea a couple years ago and assembled a very similar belt. Although very cool and "high-speed" I found the traditional method of having the knife, multitool, flashlight, and tourniquet ready for fast access and the rest in a normal pack to be much more realistic. The days where my utility belt was entirely practical were far outweighed by the days it made the same amount of gear feel heavier by concentrating it all above my hips.
I used this setup a few years back, and like yourself my carry system has greatly evolved. This system is great for someone starting out in bushcraft and needs sone type of foundation to begin. Currently I use an LBE Load Bearing Equipment with a ruck. I just uploaded a video on it. Thanks for your comment my friend!
Thats cool I have the same gps and it works great! My grandos got it in '97 with a new honda 4trax he bought. Still have the manual too.
That’s awesome!
Good set up! Designed for your needs ! Taylor made!
Thanks!
Very nice kit.
👍🏼👍🏼
I’m always interested in how other people put theirs together.
I’ve been making belt kits and “survival” kits since 1977 when I joined the Corps.
You can definitely provide all the other necessities you need with what you have there. But I’m assuming you would wear this in addition to your backpack.
This is the first video of yours that I’ve seen, and it has earned my subscription ✅
@@arctodussimus6198 Thanks for subscribing!!! Yes, that’s correct, I wore this setup with a backpack for a year then made some adjustments. I still stay with the same concept except now I added an H-harness with a couple canteens. Sometimes I add my hatchet, sometimes I remove it.
That’s really awesome that you make belt kits! I love hearing that other people get as much enjoyment out of them as I do. Thanks again for subscribing and I hope you have a great day my friend!!
Very nice! Well done
@@jacktough Thank you my friend! Take care!
I carry something similar for my work....as an IT consultant
Have a great day!
gonna try to copy this fir my huckleberry picking rig.
That’s cool! All the best in your huckleberry picking!!
You really inspired me to make some changes in my kit. Thanks!
That’s pretty cool to hear that! I wish you all the best on your kit changes!!
the 2 drings above dump pouch look perfect placing to strap a poncho
Oh I like that suggestion! Thanks!
New subscriber 🇬🇧👍
Welcome brother!!! Have a great day my friend!!!
Nice setup and execution. I would just add a military poncho with some paracord or bank line. Ponchos aren't just good for walking in the rain or building a shelter, they also make for a handy sleep roll or emergency stretcher if out with friends.
Great suggestions! Thanks!
Nice belt
@@TheRealJackOfTrades Thank you brother!
This is a good kit, another couple of handy bits might be a hank of bank line for trapping or lashing items, and a cheap plastic rain poncho for a (very) makeshift shelter or just for like… rain… nice work though this is spec’d well!
Thanks!
Nice set up Jeff. Those grenade pouches are so versatile. A couple things, perhaps lower your knife so the possibly of jabbing your ribs is lessened and why are you carrying 2 good sized and weighty choppers?
Nate
I think I’ve carried my hatchet so much I didn’t give it any thought haha. A number of years ago I built a small shelter just with my BK7. It is doable, but not very efficient. So ever since then I’ve carried a knife and a hatchet. I know my style drives some people in the bushcraft community bonkers…but at the end of the day, it’s my style. Have a great day Nate. Oh…as for lowering, I started carrying my Kabar Jaroz which does that well.
That's cool man. I've got a bk9 in mine and a council tools flying fox. I've also got the same head lamp in red lol. I'd add a fishing kit that won't weigh much.
@@shawnlowhorn5009 Right on! Kabar’s are solid! Have a great day!
You to man
Too heavy for a belt, stress points on the hips is a bad call especially if you're going to do a lot of walking on top of that. Or get suspenders but that'll make it closer to a lbe not a belt. That trail knife is deadweight being paired with a hatchet.
I used this belt setup for a season without a yoke harness and I did ok till I needed canteens, then I added a harness. I did change out my knife later on to a Mora Garberg.
Старое видео, схема расположения предметов рабочая и сейчас . Особенно пряжка металическая - многие меняют пластиковые пряжки типа фастекс на металлические пряжки типа кобра .
Definitely the Cobra style buckles are more robust. I’ve reposted this video because it provides some basics for people starting out in bushcraft or exploring adventures.
Bushcraft Batman 😎
Oh ya! Love that haha!
nice rig.
@@patslee1394 Thanks my friend! I used this setup for a few years, sometimes varying the pouch layout but overall the same. It worked well with a small backpack.
Only one suggestion. Have a map to go with that compass/GPS
I've since given up on the gps. I stick with a paper map and my compass. That I'm way more comfortable with.
Where is the handgun?😂
@@j.t.867 Firearms aren’t the focus 👍
Muito bom! I also like to wear survival gear.
That’s super awesome! Have a wonderful day!
Well organized Scout. I can't remember. If I asked you before. But do you use, an H harness. With that set up. Cheers 🍻 bro
@@bugoutbrad8395 This kit I never used an H-harness but I did use it on different belt configurations. Currently my H-harness is on my Woodland LBE.
Well thought out and implemented. How does it ride with a ruck on?
I found it works well with a smaller ruck, like a 3 day pack. I used the belt system for a few years.
@@SurvivalScout2024 I currently use a full size pack, an old lbe belt with butt pack and a thigh bag. It covers everything I need and use for trips up to a month. For shorter trips I just use lbe and butt pack with the thigh bag.
@@jksurvivalbushcraft I’ve got a video going up Sunday morning on a 3 Tier system. Backpack, LBE, Micro Kit. Cool you use an LBE!!
@@SurvivalScout2024 I subbed to you so I can’t wait to watch! Keep up the great work!
@@jksurvivalbushcraft Thank you brother! Welcome to the channel my friend! Awesome!
I like it... 👍🏿
Thanks ! 😁
I would looking into using your compass on your left as apparently right handed people go that why and using your left hand is supposed to help that issue.
Good tips! Thanks!
Got my sub..
Thank you kindly! Welcome!!!
@@SurvivalScout2024 thanks sir
I found a large fanny pack with suspenders at the thrift store.Its camo and made by Northwest territory.Paid 5 bucks.Itll hold a ton of stuff.Going to be my scout pack.
Whoa!! That’s so awesome!!
The cobra belt already has molle straps to attach the pouchs. Why are you using the padded belt to hold the pouchs instead of the cobra belt
@@Mecha04 The padded belt came with a roll type belt the British soldiers use. I wanted something different with a solid buckle so this Amazon battle belt was my best option.
Since you're in the land of the grandmother, a pistol isn't 'allowed'! IMHO, you should drop the dump pouch and replace it with a military-style poncho and a canteen with cover, nesting cup and nesting stove so you have an easy way to process drinking water! Personally, I prefer a folding saw to a hatchet as they are lighter in weight, safer and quieter to use! Replacing the smaller pouches with fewer larger pouches will increase the amount of carrying capacity. Upgrade your IFAK! A good length of cordage, either 550 or #36 bank line is needed!
I will be uploading my current carry for backcountry wilderness scouting. I do carry a firearm. When I used this belt system, those "extra" items were carried in a small backpack. Thanks for your comment!
Cool vid. Dont lose ur water filter. Bladders are werth ther weight
Nice setup, but your belt lacks at least a steel bottle&cup, a space blanket, some cordage and a folding saw. With a BK7 at hand, what do you need a hatchet? And a tourniquet can easily be replaced by some cordage and a stick.
Most of those ‘other’ things are carry in a small ruck. Tarp, cook kit, cordage, etc is all on a small backpack
@@SurvivalScout2024 - IMHO in this case a 'survival belt' doesn't make any sense - best way to carry a load is in a big ruck with a hip-belt, which would interfere with the 'survival belt'. In my understanding is a 'scouting survival kit' some minimal survival gear, that's always on your person and allows survival, in case you get separated from your ruck.
Only way to be a 'survival kit' would be, if you never go scouting without your backpack.
Wife: "can you go to the store & get some milk"
Him:
LOL 😂
no water?
I guess I should of clarified, I wear this belt with a small pack that carries my water
Great vid. Where do you put a pistol?
Hand guns have a restricted classification in Canada and can only be used at the gun range. There are special permits to carry hand guns for work related jobs in the wilderness but those permits are extremely difficult to obtain and have miles of red tape.
Thanks!
@@SurvivalScout2024 oh yeah i didnt realize you were in Ca.. truk fudeau!!
how were you able to get British surplus equipment? Could you give me a lead please. Ah! The way you said out and about, tells me you are Canadian with much better access to British gear.
I found lots of this kit on eBay. A pouch here or a pouch there. If you type, 'mtp pouches' on eBay, you will get a good list of sellers. I bought from the UK, Poland, etc to collect. It took me some time to acquire a lot of it. Yes, I'm located in Northwest Ontario, Canada.
www.flectarn.co.uk has some MTP stock as well. I've bought from them over the years.
I do something similar but have a small buttpack for food and other items and to water bottle pouches with nesting cup to cook with
Right on! I carry a small pack as well. Guess I should have clarified more! Have a great day!
@@SurvivalScout2024 I mean buttpack attached to belt think like Vietnam era web belt use h harness suspenders as well
@@tyler1768 I’ve built a few other LBE load outs where I use a butt pack. Butt packs make the whole system pretty survival efficient.
Water.
@@user-zh3if1ey3d always in a small backpack
@@SurvivalScout2024 Ok sorry I thought it was a complete last ditch survival system.
@@user-zh3if1ey3d It could be for sure if you can access water sources and make use of the Sawyer Mini in the belt kit.
What are with everyone and adding a "canteen cup/set" ?? Ya'll probably have bags 5 times the size you need just FILLED with 💩. Why would he need to add that? He already has too much stuff in ny opinion but certainly doesnt need a canteen.
Thanks brother!
I a bit more first aid
I have a more comprehensive system now. I will be releasing a video soon on my 3 TIER SURVIVAL SYSTEM.
You have a tournament but no Isreal bandage or chest seals kinda makes no sence..... if your gonna have a first aid trauma style make it right plz
