What a speech at the start! proper motivating....just what I needed to hear today! thank you!.....in a native northern tongue too! Your ventures, always fresh, always real always honest.....pleasure to watch and learn. Those pictures of the mountains and sunset at the end....so beautiful they almost hurt...I don't have the words!
Thank you Lass.... That speech also set well with me and all the shyt from this past year. I hoped it would set well with others too and you with a few others confirmed it has. I appreciate that!
Excellent video. I took some notes. Dummy cording is needed. I am still pissed about a fire steel that fell off my knife sheath when I was a kid. More than a decade ago. So now everything that is needed gets dummy corded. I found a cheap smock on Ebay and I have dummy corded my knife to the d-ring in the pocket. I also just thought I could get a small waterproof bag with a lanyard loop so I can keep my firekit corded as well. Some things are just not worth losing. I was going to add a small poncho to the back pocket on my smock, but I was using it last night and afte 20 mins of medium rain it soaked through in all the seams and I got wet. Changed over to my belgium gortex I found at my surp store and stayed dry... Ish. The mix of plastic bags and contractor bags is a great idea. I wish more people knew how handy a ziploc bag can been when you are living out in the woods for more than a day or 2. If those boots are Jungle boots, then you might be happy to know that Belleville just started making them again. Hefty price, but they are making them again. I wore my desert boots last night because there was a 0% chance of rain. Lucky for me, it decided that 0% wasn't good enough and rained for 7 hours. So lesson learned with boots. Also, wool socks do work for keeping insulation when wet. I could feel my feet being wet, but never got cold. Thanks again for the vid. I always look forward to your videos.
Ahh thank you, lad. Sounds like the unpredictability of the weather was as predictable as ever! Yeah wool is good stuff.. I use it as much as I can and even keep it in my ruck for emergency's in the summer.. I have an alternative to ziplocks I will be videoing about soon.. I think youll be interested.. Glad the video was of use to you as well.. be safe and productive, lad..
@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska Will do. I look forward to the video. I am always interested in new ways to waterproof stuff. Water, Like fire, has always been man's most valuable servant, and his most fearsome master.
"The importance of knowing unmapped paths, trails or roads in relatively featureless terrain".... This is brilliant. Deep in the forest, one can't always see landmarks. Seasons change and old trails become overgrown. I've always neglected the use of gps in favor of physical maps, but I may have to change that. I've done a lot of exploring and gotten lost a good bit. always made it out, though. good shit, Ivarr. I wish we still had the blog sometimes to talk shop. Be well.
Blame the posers, liars and eventual Feds that came asking questions about the A-holes talking shyt in there. I miss it too but it became a huge liability. It was a good place with good ppl but no way to keep the shyt from seeping in.. Thanks for the kind words and the compliment..
Hell yeah, I had to laugh at your swamp slog. One time in the course of taking a "shortcut" my buddy, myself and my dog got literally bogged down in a thicket of lakeside trees so overgrown, it took us an hour to go about 150 yards. My dog's pack got stuck on a branch and she couldn't get free. Good times in the swamp!!!!@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska
Thanks man. I have loads of new ppl. Someone must have posted my shyt someplace. Nearing 10K on one of my new vids.. Unheard of! I appreciate your time used here..
The beginning is really well told. Almost like a documentary. I would call the area from 6:42 a paradise. She looks epic. Greetings from Saxony and have a nice weekend to you.
"Water bottle made by that douchebag" hahahahaha, instantly subscribed. Its been a long time since we have talked and i kind of lost touch with you. Its nice to see you still tramping about. I just tracked you down on Facebook and sent you a friends request there. looks like it was 2016 last time i talked to you, my bad lol.
I dont have FB and havnt had it for about 5 years now. Might wanna check who it really is. 😁 Youll have to give me some clues.. Life has kicked in my balls recently and the memory is a bit clogged at the mo! Anyhow stay in touch and welcome to my mess!
I work in an aluminum smelter as an emergency mechanic. I write my radio calls on a thin card stock. It is hot so I sweat pretty bad at times . I have found if my card stick is kept in my outer shirt pocket it will get damp and tear up easily . I have found if I use my lock out danger tag between me and the card stock that doesn't happen . I propose a thin plastic between you and the pistol to be sewed in .
I have some Flecktarn material harvested from one of those German butt packs I plan to sew to the back of the chest rig around the worrisome area. What baffled me was that there is 3 layers of shelter grade canvas that somehow breathes in my moisture.. not a huge deal but it'll get fixed.. Thanks for taking the time to post that. Its appreciated..
I have some flecky camo material I plan to use for both the flap and backing of the holster. It was harvested from one of those Flecktarn camo butt-pack type pouch's since i have a few of them that I never use..
@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska isn’t it great having extra material and the skill to make the changes you need vs buying off the shelf shit? I’ve been modding my gear but it’s slow going sewing it all by hand. Knowing what I know now, I would have invested in a sewing machine instead of setup after setup of upper tier gear, only to end up modding it anyway. Great stuff as always Ivar!
The BEST training area! Wished it was a bit closer but TIA! Sadly moose season started or is about to. I wont be back up there for a few weeks but will be there long before the snow arrives.. Good to hear from you man. I hope you and your clan are well...
Excellent video as usual. After this green season I’m back to the drawing board as it pertains to my kit. This heat is getting to be unbearable, it’s time to lighten my load and reconsider some things. With any luck we have a cold wet winter here.. hope all is well up north.
I can soundly recommend a small chest rig with a over the shoulder canteen and pocket kit as a good base... I think Im staying with that for a while.. and thanks!
Great Video man! I start at the end: the pictures with the Red Sky we're gorgeous!!! Just Like the whole Nature at TA rhodesia. What Brings me to the start of the Video. Soo beautiful! Now i know why you Name it rhodesia 😅 makes Sense! What means TA by the way? Training area? 🤔 never really thought about it. Thanks for the Kit Update! The smock is Just "the tits"!!! The new pockets are such a Upgrade and the darker colour Brings it to another Level. I mean the Miltec colour is quite good!!! But a Bit too light, yes, you Made everything right with that badboy of a smock. I Like the pants and i think that tigerstripe is quite badass! Maybe Not the best camo but one of the coolest 😎🤙🏻 Jungle Boots are Always good, i have German Army Jungle Boots and also Love them especially in summer time! The chestrig is really super awesome man! So Well Made with that Mora holder and stuff... Just 👍🏻 Great Video Ivarr!!!🤩
HAHA Yes TA is Training Area! Yeah that smock needed pockets to be useful for me. I still have a lot of fabric remaining. I thought to make a hat from it. We will see! I made a picture for you I will send you soon It simply my arm with the grass lands in the back drop. At a distance (stepping back from the computer) all you can see is my hand- its kinda creepy looking LOL ... I must admit that that shade of Tiger camo is growing on me. I like the olive green it has. Its not dark like other brands make.. Thanks for watching man!
dane was really loving being out, ... those mountains were impressive, am guessing an Op post up there would cover the valley. As to kit ... loving the smock and chest rig ... what about stuffing sweat rags (or foam inserts) into the base of the ammo pouches to raise the magazines up slightly? (take it your not a fan of dave.C, lol)
No. I'm not a fan at all.. He's a proven poacher and liar ... As to the rig- I wasn't looking for a fix for the mags and rig- simply stating a comparison between the AK and M4 mags.as to OPs- Ive been up on both sides of the valley. Its one hell of a view from either side. Only one side covers the only bridge and road through that area though. Sadly access is limited do to land owners on one side and the other has its own issues but is more accessible.. I love that place, as does Dayn.. He used to hate water but now I cant keep him out of it. Sucks when he jumps isnot a nasty bog and frolics ...But he can run there w/o worry and do his thing. Moose seasons starts in days so I wont be back there for a month.Thanks for the stop in, mate. Enjoy the weekend.!
Excellent time out. Looked like a soggy slog for sure. Put those unmarked trails in your mental map of the area is definitely important. For your chest rig, would a space pair of socks in a ziplock or a field dressing push down in the mag pockets put your AR mags at the right height? Nate
Yeah its pretty convenient and not much burden at all... I imagine in the winter it will be more comfortable than a full on rig as well, especially with all the clothing layers AK requires.. That builds up quick especially in the mid section where all your clothing layers meet up from the top and bottom
i have and use some 40 rounders but its rare i normally run a 30 rd usgi mag or 2 in a homemade cardboard make clamp, why ? because ive done the weight a usgi mag is 15 oz a 40 rd pmag is 24 oz and 2 30s and the clamp is 32 oz , makes more sense to me to carry 8 more oz to get 20 more rounds
I commented on your vids but I think YT ate them for some reason. I also replied to your comments on my comments but again, YT ate them. Anyhow thank you for stopping in. And YES you're CORRECT- Its the best therapy for a man who knows he is truly a man! Its so good for the soul.
How do you afford to shoot in alaska? I live in WA but will be moving up there soon. Since you cant ship ammo there, I have seen prices north of $.5 a round whereas down here in the lower 48, I can get 556 for roughly $.33 a round. Any advice on how to be able to afford training?
I stock up here and there and shoot through out the year. Its is what it is. Being up here and high prices is just part of commitment.. If you're one of those guys who likes to shoot every weekend then I'm probably not the right guy to ask. I don't sit on thousands and thousands of rounds. Just enough to keep sharp and enough to take with me should the day come I need to go and never come back....
Why the switch to chest rigs btw? Im STILL running Alice webbing. Lately though I've been thinking about finally getting a more modern version, something a bit more comfortable. Would be nice to find a danish m84 full plce kit. Also Mcrae makes some really nice green and black jungle boots if anyone is looking. Wish I knew what happened to my Altima jungle boots from the 90's.
Its an evolution. My experience has far outgrown the need for a full on PLCE/LBE rig .. Dream on for the Danish PLCE. Ive never seen one for sale. Just pieces you can gather and put something together ..We all have boots we miss from the 90s.. 😆😆 The world was a better place back then..
@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska I loved those boots too. Stopped doing the things for awhile and they disappeared. I'm pretty sure one of my younger brothers took them. As for the PLCE I've actually never even seen a decent DPM full kit in person before. What is it...they changed something in 95 right? I honestly don't mind the Alice gear, it's what I know, and what I'm used to. I even have the belt pad so the clips don't dig into my side. I'm just getting a bit older and anything that helps spread the load out, and is a bit more comfortable is always welcome. I tried like hell to like the lbv-88e, it's just too hot, and not as easy to work out of. That's my opinion anyway. I thought about maybe the woodland molle flc , but I just prefer a belt system for whatever reason. I'll figure it out. Great video as always sir. Oh...and do the moth balls actually help? Not that I have to really worry here. We only have black bear, and they're pretty scared of just about anything. I unfortunately don't have a dog , let alone one with bells. Maybe one day I'll finally be in a position to get a dog.
@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska Yeah, I suppose that some of the supporting equipment could be specific as well. Having a second one built, and loaded, would make for a faster donning of kit.
What I've always done is use that little bit of extra space to carry something actually useful. An extra ace bandage, mylar emergency blanket, fleece cap if it's later in the year. Just little stuff like that has more use than a block of foam lol
@@ericallen1046 That place is a ghost town stuck in time. Id love to visit there and do some training.. Rumor has it they will reopen it w/in 5 years-who knows!
@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska The 32 million dollar high school with an Olympic sized swimming pool was used for only five years. There was a McDonald's and two Navy bases there. Also, the world's smallest national forest.

Hey Ivan old friend. I really enjoyed your video. Good to see you are still around.
Thanks.. hope life is being kind to you...
Love your videos man, alaska was my goal for a long long time but it seems as if i will never get there... But your videos give me a taste
I literally left everything behind to be here. Best thng I ever did for my life.. We only live this life once. No regrets!
Randomly showed up in my feed. Definitely my line of interest.
Welcome to my mess..
Your kits are rad bro i love the use of interesting surplus customization and hoods.
The general rule is that if you're not customizing your off the shelf kit, then one is not using it enough.. thnx and greetings from Alaska..

@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska The 32 million dollar high school with an Olympic sized swimming pool was used for only five years. There was a McDonald's and two Navy bases there. Also, the world's smallest national forest.
@@ericallen1046 The one tree forest.. that tree is pretty big now.. Caribou are plentiful there. Put there for the military to hunt back in the day..
