Your coffee kit is genius! Couple years ago I was watching a video by an former SAS soldier who kept in his BOB/go bag/inch bag, a 'brew kit'. I always thought that was a brilliant idea and ever since then I've carried a coffee/tea/chicken broth kit. Good video, subbed.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and supporting our small business. Great customers like you are the reason we are here combining our love for the outdoors and quality gear.
I totally agree with you sir in regards to the weight. I go very heavy on my equipment because I choose to take what I want to take. That is some really nice gear, take care & keep enjoying the great out of doors. - Marco
Very nice haversack, but too big for one shoulder carry for me. It would get too heavy in no time. I carry a much smaller one that limits its weight by its size. A good ruck for the other stuff, and the possibles bag work together. My birthday is coming, and I'll be getting one of those fine ground cloths. Looking forward to it.
Cool haversack, looks sort of like the one, I have you folks making for me. With the exception of my outer pockets and sleeves. Looked good though. The ground cloth you showed, should be the same as what was shipped to me today
If your haversack strap digs into your shoulder, you have way too much stuff in it. You need a smaller haversack and a backpack. One of the reasons most haversacks don't have the panel you put in yours is to stop people from treating it like a backpack. or a knapsack. A haversack is not a substitute for a backpack or a knapsack, it's an addition to a backpack or knapsack. If you need enough gear that a standard strap can hold without digging in, you need to add a backpack to you carry. They learned this lesson in the Civil War, and thereafter stopped adding panels. Well, until WWII when they had to learn it all over again. There used to be a rule about the size of haversack where you stopped adding panels. I can't find the rule now, but it was tiny. I do know that if all your gear won't fit in a space 12X12X4, you need a backpack or a knapsack, not a haversack. You have several things in your haversack that belong in a backpack. You're actually using your haversack as a backpack. That's fine, if you want to do that, but most don't, and it completely defeats the reason haversacks exist. It's also why the strap bites into your shoulder. At the very least, the hatchet, the water bottle, and the ground cloth should not be in there. I guess it's largely personal philosophy, but discounting food, sleeping bag, and tent, you have more gear in your haversack than I carry in a backpack for a two week's stay in the wild. Worse, you aren't just using your haversack as a substitute for a backpack or knapsack, you have items in it that should always be on your person, either on your belt, or on a belt, such as a pistol belt, or in your pockets. You always have to worry about what you have left if you lose the bag, or have it stolen. Both happen all too often, even in the wilderness. I have a shoulder bag that looks remarkably like yours. I carried it three or four times, but never again. It's too heavy, and far worse, too bulky. Worse still, completely unnecessary. I love haversacks, but I quickly learned I didn't have a haversack, I had a knapsack that was missing a strap. You agould always shrink your gear to fit your haversack, not expand your havesack to fit your gear.

I'm really liking those tobacco pouches.. That size of bag is too big for a haversack for me, personally. I like the size, it fits the purpose great, but I'd have that size of a small rucksack instead of a shoulder bag. For use in the woods, that is.. I could definitely find another way to use that just because I'm a nylon and canvas fiend.
I prefer a larger Haversack. I find it more versatile. Some light gear takes up space, and I can also choose not to fill a larger bag all the way whereas the reverse isn’t true - can’t continue to fill a small bag that is full. Just my preference I guess.
it was enough for me once with such a bag to understand that it does not suit me because of the strap being inserted. The shoulder presses very quickly Although this option of minimalism is a pleasure
@@grendle81 I learned to use a machete in Cuba. But I live in Scandinavia and I think it is just a cultural bias. With a machete you can do everthing you can do with a knife, a folding saw and a hatchet. But of course it cannot replace a big forest axe.
Hello my friend, thanks for sharing your fine video. You have a well organized haversack. Be safe out there. 🤗
I watch a lot of Bush Craft videos. Most are repetitive . You had some different things in your bag. I like getting new ideas. THX.

Thanks for the video. I love your gear!!!

Really looking forward to a video on the ground cloth and all its uses and configurations!

Well said
Yes, he has way too much shit in there
I think that's a matter of personal preference, so don't judge, and besides you don't have to carry it James!
great video and editing. where in pnw are you? I run the olympic mountains, would be rad to campout with other bushcrafters

We enjoy having different bags for different purposes but it is always nice to be able to make gear for what we decide to carry.

5:16 Machete?
You wouldn't see too much use for a machete up here in the PNW, too limited of use. Axes & hatchets maybe.

With a machete you can do everthing you can do with a knife, a folding saw and a hatchet.

any update on producing this at PNW?

Awesome man,nice video, I have a channel myself check it out if you like,thanks I subbed
Why do so many people constantly slap equipment they are showing? If they are not slapping it they hold it to the camera and shake it. 😂😂😂
Please buy a wireless mic for your (otherwise great) videos
Bushcraft, see how I wipe my ass in the bush.
