I'm getting ready to apply for my local search and rescue volunteer service so these videos are really helpful for visualizing what I actually need. Thank you for your service!
Awesome set up! I’m part of backcountry SAR in Colorado & this helped so much. I’m making a point to go through my pack every couple of weeks to make sure I know where everything is & shedding all of the extra weight I don’t need in my pack. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Great video. I'm with Barrington Ground Search and Rescue in Nova Scotia. Great kit load out. I've added a Mini Sawyer water filter and an Esbit 3 piece solid fuel cook kit to my rescue pack. Thanks and be safe. Cheers
I just finished the SAR mountain rescue technician level class in Western North Carolina. Weight and space in your pack means a lot. One thing I did see in your set up, was the unused space in your pot. You can put nontoxic things in there that won't be taking up space elsewhere. I took a large pill bottle, cut a slit in the top and put about 30 foot of flagging tap in it. Duck tap on the outside of it,, with a bunch of rubber bands around it too. The stuff sacks are nice and make everything look organized, but I learned that things like the light tarp and sleeping bag take up less room if just stuffed in the bottom of the pack. We had to pack in or wear our harness, along with all the hardware and ropes that we might need in a mountain rescue. I'm a volunteer fire fighter, and have been for over 25 years. I learn something new all the time. Would love to see your country sometime.
Greetings from PEI. I'm also a GSAR member. I have a very similar loadout. I also include a ground pad which is very useful for hypothermia victims, splints and just for sitting/laying on cold ground. I also use a poncho/poncho liner which has so many uses.
As a volunteer with SES (State Emergency Service) in Australia, one of the jobs we perform is assisting the police with missing persons searches. It was interesting to see what you keep in your pack.
I'm not sure how available they'll be in Canada, but in the UK there are things called Bothy Bags available online which you might be interested in. They're basic waterproof and windproof emergency shelters that pack down small (you can get them from 2 person to I think 12 person sizes). Definitely not intended to be comfortable (you have to kind of lean up against the walls to keep them up), just intended to keep the worst of the wind and rain off you if you get caught in a tight spot in bad weather. They're used extensively by SAR/Mountain Rescue teams in the UK.
That hot nail trick is worth actual money. Its late but I ran to the garage like a child. That volunteer work is hero stuff. Have any stories? Thanks for making videos man.
Nice kit, looks very familiar👍. With SAR our packs are always evolving. After a stretch of time (years), you go through and figure what actually gets used and what is over kill (packing too much of). SAR is a "team" approach, combined team gear, we all do it, 3 to 5+ searchers each bringing 3-5 different ways of starting a fire, stoves, shelters, knives. On "average" a search maybe 8-10 hours for the day or night. Like I say great video, things to ponder, how often have you needed a knife that size. Where say one half the size and "weight" would have done the job, combined with the other team 3-5 knives. Lol, we all have that "just in case" mind set.
I’m also with SAR here in NS. The flagging tape idea is great ,I’ve seen melting the sides but not through the middle I think I’ll try that one myself,notepad and pencils,markers I didn’t notice,other than that nice gear layout,the chalkboard idea also is a great idea,keep them coming
You could add a few spoons to that pack, for eating the food with. I hope you have scissors in the first aid kit. EVERY pack should have paracord in it. it has many uses!.
9:34 does anyone know the brand of the pot/lid set? It looks like it has a great handle that is large and I would love to purchase. I checked his Amazon store front and that is not listed (perhaps no longer offered on Amazon). If anyone recognizes the brand, please let me know! Thanks! Also, to 13pbc, this is a great video and I picked up several helpful tips and items that I need to add my bag!
Hi, I’m a new subscriber to your channel. I have been following you for sometime but on TV RUclips which doesn’t offer a subscription option. In one of your videos you had mentioned you where considering AB&B for the cabin and that caught my interest. The thought occurred to me that perhaps you may be I interested in a cabin swap, I would spend a couple nights at yours and you at mine. My cabin is on the Humber River, full disclosure, my property doesn’t go the river. The road to cabin and about 50ft of river bank separates my property line from the river. I’m above the Big Falls and about, as the crow flies, 5Km from the Sir Richard Squires Provincial Park…..let me know if you’re interested. It might make an interesting video.
Hello. You are still my only subscribed channel. I would love to get a puppy again. I want a little, smart, dog. Rescue would be my preference. Thanks so much. I enjoy your channel. Steve

There’s always that one guy who has to add his two cents. Mind your damn business.

@@13prevailbushcraft hey that makes sense. Thanks again.

Thanks ! Yeah, I'd like to pick up a write-in-the-rain notebook and pen but for now I just use the notes app in my phone.
