Whose gear store would you like me to recommend to you if not my own where I have actually tested the products for months in the field before spending tens of thousands of dollars of my own money to purchase inventory and make it available to you? A gear dump has gear in it that has to come from somebody's store. Your problem is that it comes from mine?
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret It saddens me to see that kind of attitude in people! Probably they have cars full of stickers of the most obnoxious brands... Perhaps they wear t-shirts saying: "Mom always said I am an idiot" And they are worried about you speaking / selling the stuff you tested to the sweat and blood? It's disgraceful, to say the least! Don't worry mr Josh ... there are thousands of people who care about your opinions and like to learn from you! The dogs may bark, but the caravan goes ahead!
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret a REAL bushcrafter would fashion each item in your gear dump from materials they scavenged in the woods. A REAL bushcrafter would mine the ore and smelt the metal to make their own cookware and they would raise their own sheep to get the wool for their blankets. (kidding)
@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret he worded that poorly. I'm a long time fan and I support you (and you making money off products you've field tested)! That being said the flashing on and off the screen was distracting from your content and it DID feel infomercial-ish. A lot of other content creators will say "All of the products I'm discussing here today are available on my web store - check the description for links to each one." Content creators often do this with Amazon Affiliate links but it works just as well with store links. The original poster could have worded his comment more tactfully, but sometimes asshole feedback is still valid. Semper Fi brother!
As a volunteer search and rescue technician, may I implore everyone to carry a whistle every time they are out in the woods! Three blasts on a whistle is a universal distress signal. A whistle blast will travel farther than your shouts, and the whistle won't give out anywhere near as fast as your vocal cords ;)
I agree . A whistle is number 1 .when I was a on search and rescue team we all carry GI reflecting belts to throw on are packs or a cross our chest. Orange bandanna for signal . If you use walking sticks you can put reflection tape on them
If you forgot a rescue whistle, and have a pocket knife, there's a simple way to carve a whistle using a willow branch. Video search: whittled willow whistle. Practice making them before hitting the trail. Fun keepsake, or neat gift for a favorite kid, too!
In an emergency, he’s got a plentiful and renewable tinder source growing on his face. The beard can also filter water and catch small animals. Sun protection, keeps face warm, stores ice in winter. The beard does it all.
I'm an old Marine who really enjoys and appreciates your expertise that you bring to your channel. I learn something every time I tune in. Continue with the great content and Happy New Year.
Now I'm a dad I carry a compass, never had one before, knew how to use one just never had anywhere I needed to be. Miss those days sometimes. Found lots of cool places just wandering the woods.
I'm getting older and I still enjoy hiking through the woods. You pointed out important items and instructions for those items and their purpose. The advice was well taken from a proven expert. Thank you
Sir, you're one of the world's premier survival instructors . We're all very lucky and extremely grateful to you for sharing your phenomenal knowledge . You inspire me to improve . "The more you know ,the less you carry ." I carry a lot .::::
I actually want to see the products, their names, etc popping up as you speak about them. I'm sitting here with my keyboard just pausing and taking notes. I love your taste: lots of old-school, tried and true stuff like Waxed Canvas! Nowadays it's all GoreTex and other super expensive composites with a brand name targeting Gear Heads or fairly well-off Weekend Warriors. Keep it coming Sir, and thank you for your service to this country.
I always love your choices of equipment, and you are so good at communicating the “why” behind those choices. What awesome teaching ability! Always top notch!
I make fire starters using cotton balls soaked in baby oil, carried inside an old pill bottle. I can also put 3 small Bic lighters in a different pill bottle to keep them from being drained of fuel. 1 cotton ball will burn for a min or two and a 12-inch small twig will allow you to dig out a ball, light it, and place the lit cotton ball under a tinder bundle. I use old pill bottles for a lot of things, like a fishing kit, fat lighter shavings, matches, salt and pepper packets...ect.
You are awesome man! I learned so many things being a Army Veteran, but your channel is my go to. I am going off the grid to Minnesota in a few years and spend countless hours on your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. You are what makes the world a better place and better communities of people helping one another in the craziest of times. Happy New Year!!!
I am in England and way past wanting to go out in the elements, but I have watched and enjoyed your tutorials, the bow drill one was perfect, I did live in B C for a few years when I was younger and realise how easy it is to get in trouble in the bush, but like the boy scouts motto says, be prepared. I only wish I could carry all that stuff and go out on a campout but alas too old now, thankyou for your knowledge its second to none in my opinion
I like that your first picks look so durable and you don't have any gimmick gear. I've seen a lot of suggestions but I think your kit is one if the best.
I find your videos extremely helpful as part of my continuous survival education. I've been at it for most of my life but I still pick up useful and practical advice from RUclipsrs such as yourself. If you're ever down under in Oz, you would be most welcome to drop in for your preferred brew. Well done with your highly instructional videos. Thanks mate.
Took me 2 hours to watch this video so much information had to continuously pause to look up items and such, I've seen many videos on what to pack but this one stands out as the most precise and informative by far
Man oh man! I keep coming back to this video as a good reminder of things I can use in my necessary bag or convenience setup. Good stuff! Thanks for test driving all that stuff and saving me the time and money on other things.
I always carry an Anker power bank. GPS on the phone is priceless backup to map n compass. And think about a blow up sleep pad. If you cant patch it....fill with debris n sew it up. Or lay it over browse bed.
Being a UK veteran I favour the basha, - tarp, bivvy bag, square sleeping bag and liner with matt below, even when using a hammock. FAK, same kind of cooking system. I even have a Bergen as I used in service.
The world of woods craft is a Merch Monster in size and complexity. Finding a curated set of equipment and finding it in one place is a great service as much as it is a business opportunity.
Good stuff brother! All high speed low drag. I trust my uberleben fire kit (twig stove, hobo pot, fire steel). I also have a back up for fire which is the Spark-lite Emergency Firestarter Kit. Comes with a brass flint sparker and TinderQuik tabs. It enables a one hand fire ignition incase I injured my hand or something. It's a high speed little piece of kit I keep attached on Bravo 1 knife sheath by ranger bands, which are also another source of. Enjoyed the gear dump brother! And thank you for your service!
I live in Northern Canada and do lots of hunting and trapping, and just general foraging. I love how every piece of your kit has been well thought out, and many items have multiple uses. I love the knowledge in your videos compared to the usual bells and whistle guys just reviewing the latest fancy gadgets. And I am also a huge fan of the waxed canvas gear, and tried and true wool blanket. Great looking blade to man. 👍👍
Wow was pleasantly surprised by your pack. Beautifully made. Saw the same brand reviewed by a survivalist named Survival Lily a few years ago and it was also extremely well made. Takin notes as usual.
A good follow up to this video would be to show your pack with all the stuff in it that you actually carry with you every time you venture into the great outdoors. The total weight would be useful as well. Leave out the across the screen links to purchase. It all looks like good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
The poncho liners I own are the warmest blankets I've ever been around. If you can wrap up right in one the heat it holds in will run you out of there partway through the night. Recently picked up a couple of 80s GI wool blankets but have yet to sleep in one. Poncho liners are the jam though! Everyone should get one to keep in their car. If the camo patterns are a little too loud for you then I believe the Israeli ones are a solid earthy color.
Are there certain brands/sources that one can be assured are the real deal or at least of that quality? (I've seen plenty of ads for "similar to military issue" but wouldn't necessarily trust them?)
Put something between you and the wool blanket because the itch some people. I can assure you nothing is warmer. put that blanket on the ground and it stops the heat from being sucked out of you like nothing else. Enjoy your time in the boonies!
i like to carry my lighter in a case so the button dont get pushed lose all the fluid . eating and cooking i use a canteen cup with a little stove using fuel tabs or sticks . included in my first aide kit nail clippers tweezers Q tips . i love topo maps . i carry a fishing kit
I would drop the Mag Glass and ad a candle and plastic straws filled with cotton balls and Vaseline for wet starts. If you do not have tinder tabs. I would have added a small mirror for signaling in case you are hurt and the choppers can see you easier. But that is just me, Good Video
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this fine informative video. You did a great job. All the best to you for your good health and safety. I look forward to your next informative video. 🤗
Very interesting, it's good to pick up on this information. I have been packing camping, wilderness area's, Europe, Canada. After a spell away from the outdoors, I am very keen to learn more and get back outside.
Josh, sorry to see that there was a falling out with Canterbury …… it happens, …both you are running businesses…there is partnerships, employees or contractors …and sometimes people leave either for a greener pasture 💵 or differences in philosophies or professional ethics. 🤷🏼♂️. Regardless, Good to see both of ya are pushing forward and educating the masses with your content . Best of luck! ✌🏼
Yea I mean Josh did make a DVD with Canterbury a couple of years ago or so…, but is no longer affiliated with anything Dave pathfinder … doesn’t even use pathfinder products at all. Not even connected on social media …business relation must of went really sour 🤷🏼♂️
I'd love to see a video of how you fit all that stuff into the backpack that you showed at the end. That seems to be my biggest problem is making it all fit.
All of it doesn’t go in, I showed options for things like tarps and blankets, etc. they don’t both go in there. Your pack size depends on what you choose to carry in it
Is there a practical difference in fire starting ability between a glass lens and a plastic Fresnel lens? Plastic is harder to break and it's a bit more convenient to carry e.g. alongside a signalling mirror in a credit card case.
Fresnel lenses crack super easily, which means fall apart. I personally have never been able to carry one for more than a few months. I still carry them on occasion, but I don't depend on it, just super fun to start fire with no effort at all.
It’s pretty easy with both, a larger lens is going to work quicker. I’ve got large plastic fresnel lenses that will work just as fast as a smaller glass one
I bought a nice thin titanium pot and carried my ferro rod with a striker and the striker almost beat a hole in it in one trip. Be careful with sharp objects and lightweight pots.
Great stuff and great intro. The priorities you addressed is the very same system I learned 30 years back from Ron Hood, and have used ever since. Keep spreading the good word!
Your rationale behind your choices is a goldmine of wisdom! As much as I like your gear recommendations I value hearing *why* you’ve chosen the gear far more.
So, let’s see this all together, and total weight, because I’m thinking all this steel and waxed canvas is gonna be HEAVY, and in a survival situation that’s not what you want.
No, there were a few things I was showing in here as alternatives to others, so you wouldn't need both. It would really depend on what was chosen out of that mix and if you planned to do a bedroll on the outside
Nice video👍 i never hit the bush without my kneepads, saved me a couple of times since i always have to crawl around in the most rocky and strange places. Nice to have in camp when firemaking/cooking. North Sweden😎
I love how you still find a way to speak in ‘SOF CONOP’ lingo! The iconic Cole Range “Hit the Woodline” and “For follow on fires” etc haha! If you know, you know. Keep it up brother!
Great video/information as always! :D Can tell you have a lot of experience with various types of gear, and in a wide variety of situations! :D THANK YOU for advocating for carrying a REAL emergency bleeding control/IFAC vs. the "boo boo kits" that claim to be for multi-day/multi-person wilderness trips! :D Appreciate your concise, well-covered subject matter in your videos... seem to be appropriate for kids/youth and first-timers, through seasoned outdoor recreation folks! :D
Good gear list and Happy New Year. Speaking of Signaling Devices. I carry a light weight Safety Orange hunting vest. Can be worn, hung or waved on a stick. It has pockets and like my poncho liner it weighs almost nothing and rolled up takes up no more space than a rolled tshirt. The poncho liner I can get down to less than a set of rolled pants. Although with my new Yukon pack. I do not use Camel Backs so I stuffed a thin camo/mosquito net 12x12 and the poncho liner in as padding. As a separate compartment it allows for easy access even in the dark.
👍🏼 when you get out of your vehicle and after scanning the area you say,,"we got beaucoup movement"...rabbit hunting or grocery. You are somewhat less surprised with the world.
I have been pouring over these vids for one that discusses bag contents that are arranged into individual “kits”. Iirc they resembled shaving kit bags. Really optimized bag adaptability but i cannot find the vid and now doubting it was GB2
I thought I was watching a video on a gear dump but it turns out I'm watching a commercial for your gear store instead.
Whose gear store would you like me to recommend to you if not my own where I have actually tested the products for months in the field before spending tens of thousands of dollars of my own money to purchase inventory and make it available to you?

Gary did see a rubber O-Ring on the Bic its a must have when you put one in your kit. stop the fuel running out .

I carry a light weight Safety Orange hunting vest.
Can be worn, hung or waved on a stick.
It has pockets and like my poncho liner it weighs almost nothing and rolled up takes up no more space than a rolled tshirt.
The poncho liner I can get down to less than a set of rolled pants.
Although with my new Yukon pack. I do not use Camel Backs so I stuffed a thin camo/mosquito net 12x12 and the poncho liner in as padding.
As a separate compartment it allows for easy access even in the dark.
Nice bit of kit right there.
I love you videos brother, I wish you could do one on packing out on horseback and living off that for a trip.
That would be a fun trip
Well done sir. Semper Fi!
👍🏼 when you get out of your vehicle and after scanning the area you say,,"we got beaucoup movement"...rabbit hunting or grocery. You are somewhat less surprised with the world.
You will never need a tinder source with a Big Gray Beard like that!
I have been pouring over these vids for one that discusses bag contents that are arranged into individual “kits”. Iirc they resembled shaving kit bags. Really optimized bag adaptability but i cannot find the vid and now doubting it was GB2
