Thanks for watching folks! If interested in scooping one up, send Sam a message on his IG page: Theres less than 20 of these available, if you wish to purchase one, message Sam at: instagram.com/the_bushcraft_bodybuilder?igsh=MTRpZmI0azU1NWNmbA==
I’ve have A LOT of packs over the years. I can say that the day ruck is my favorite pack ever made. I’ve had about 6 of them. I have to get my hands on another! Eyes up the multicam one!! Great vid brother.
Two things you might want to consider, and they do not weigh much, or take up much room. 1. An emergency sleeping bag, would go well with your bivy sack. Lots to choose from. 2. One of the emergency reflective blankets, and I'm not talking the flimsy one use ones. But the heavier duty one. With a reflective side, you can face the sun, if you need shade. Or set up as a lean too, shiny side down. Then set up a small fire with a reflector. Something to think about. But nice kit none the less.
Reviews are always fully thought out and presented. That said, it would be nice to follow you on your hike in and/or out. Combining that with the reviews would be enjoyable.
Great video James. And that's a pretty fine pack. I've been looking at Hidden Woodsman stuff for a long time. A little on the price side, though. But you go over the features of the pack thoroughly. And that makes me want one even more. Keep up the good work man!
Malcolm makes some great gear, being he's the maker limits his output, not a con just the way it is. Good stuff here James, products are sensible and if you like, that's what counts. Location of destination will determine what and how much to carry, weather not withstanding. I often carry my haversack along with my canvas pack, drop the pack, continue on with haversack. Works for me. See ya next time.
I have a waist strap on my day ruck. It’s usually tied away, I use it if I’m doing something that might cause the ruck to shift and throw off my balance. Like scrambling over rocks,crossing a log bridge, crawling under stuff. Etc. Nice looking ruck, I too like the camo pattern.
hope you are doing well James, haven't watched your videos in about a year. I've always loved listening to El.cuervo music and your channel when I was stationed in El Paso
Oh yeah 😎 what a great looking Rucksack, i have mone in Ranger Green . Man i sure wanted one of these Sam sent me a message about getting one i just couldn't at the time . I will have to hit him up . Great bunch of gear right there these Rucksack sure hold alot 👏 🙌
You should try an 1870s-1910s wild west style of camping so period correct style of equipment but i can see that getting the equipment would be a pain in the ass
Great video. I have a question, in your time camping outdoors and walking the trails, have you run into a moutain lion/Cougar/Puma and if so is the 9 mm pistol capable of stopping one if attacked?
I've been eyeballing this pack for quite some time. Too expensive to get to Czechia though. That's why I've been using a simpler but similar pack - the smallest Savotta, type Jakaari S. BTW I really, REALLY like your hat. I've been using some somewhere-made wool-felt wide-brimmed fedoras I got from the the UK eBay and those are ok - but this hat of yours is another sport. :)
👍 Excellent review of this very nice pack. I like Hidden Woodsmen stuff, but not a big fan of “special edition”, “one time only”, “limited quality”, “can only buy here” gear. Plus, Black and all Camo are my least favorite colors. Other than those considerations this looks like a great piece of gear. Thank you for sharing.
I got one of old ones dayrucks I wish.this had the one thing I wish for sterm strap love the belt back in old scout fay we wild put a scout belt on the yucca packs the down silde was not padding on the old straps on those old scout Malcome dose a great job on his stuff I use his deep woods rick on the It trail
james, mi amigo!, good to see some ramen noodles! now we just need to get you a good decent six shooter, 357mag or better, with at least a 4in barrel of course
Now that that thing has Molle , get a couple of army sustainment pouches . Your pack ability will increase 10 fold . Also a coupe of GP / aka canteen pouches also . After looking at their site , they dont offer that camo , another issue is price . For the same money , that I'm seeing , you could get an Eburlestok or Scandinavian pack , or surplus military , that is serious . Gucci gear , is kinda what I'm seeing from them so far . Shop around folks . Just sayin .
Too small for what? Plenty of space in that for a day-trip in any environment, it's not trying to be a 72-hour bag. It can even be a 24-hour bag for temperate three seasons. MOLLE webbing on the front is generally not that practical in a civilian pack, putting weight further out from the body changes the center of gravity for the worse. A rain jacket or something in a GP pouch is fine but putting anything heavy there isn't great, especially in a civilian setting where you don't have the counterbalance of a rifle/plate carrier/vest.
Im always armed bub , I save day trips for walking around with the wife in town , or on the beach . So for the money , a walmart pack to hold a couple of water bottles will do for that . Just sayin @@swe_nurse8121
Forgot to add. I do not like your scarf. I use a wool scarf that is slightly over 5’ long. It sucks if I actually need to use it to sleep but it’s better than nothing and my tarp? You need to have British contacts to get one but I would suggest one of the ultra light tents instead. They just are better in all situations
Umm rattlesnake country is 1# And if you're not a long time viewer his truck was shot up in night time 😳 while camping 2# and what kind of question is that 3# 🤔 😳 🙄
@@Canadian_Craftsman right and he was lucky he was not sleeping in it or that story would have been very different. Not to mention he was carrying a .22 at the time?
Great pack James, and great EDC. I carry many of the same brand-name products as you showed there. You are directly responsible for my purchasing some of them!
By "Bushcraft" it appears you mean 1950s canvas packs with some modern pieces. 1.) NO frame 2.) NO padded hip belt 3.) Heavy material. So just a larger day pack. Glad I'm not into retro packs. Then I'd be into "retro pain" i'll stick with my Osprey EXOS 58 for 3 season use and my DEUTER 65 for winter. THOSE packs are worth over $200. but certainly not this "Bushcrafter" day pack. Don't get me wrong, I think it's important to know bushcraft axe, knife and saw skills as well as knots and lashings. I do have these skills and more having been both a Nordic ski patroller and alpine ski patroller and Army winter survival instructor.
I have three of those Condor water bottle pouches on my ruck. Two hold titanium water bottles, the third holds my Icom-705 ham radio, auto-tuner, and wire antenna. Depending on what I'm doing that weekend, I'll swap one of the pouches out for either more water or the radio. In a 'hop in the vehicle and run!" situation I'll strap all 3 pouches on the ruck and haul butt outta there.
Ok. Please explain to me why everyone likes those bloody noodles? You get more nutrition from lentils and dried beef. If you like salt the old soup starter works and dried veggies. I disagree with you knife choice but it’s your choice. I would suggest a titanium leatherman. Just as good as yours but way lighter. I can not say how much I totally agree with spices but they are personal. I like my FirstNations salt and this deadly mix my Mexican delie makes. She makes a spice that makes rotten monkey taste good or burns my taste buds…you pick the answer having a warped sence of humour might be the best skill anyone can have. I don’t know if you can still buy them but I would suggest a titanium folding fork and spoon set I got mine years ago from Snow Peak. They fold down smaller than your set up and if you do buy those MREs or the like they are long enough to actually get to the bottom of the bag. I am totally on your side with a metal drinking container I have no words to explain how many times I boiled unsafe water in mine. I use titanium…but I’m a weigh freak. I am not from USA but we probably have similar weather except for the rain session so I do carry a military style smock, I like all the pockets for fun stuff. Toilet paper? Dude get the package from an MRE not only do you get the paper you also get Tabasco sauce and coffee and a pack of sorta water proof matches they actually sell them for the cheep on the internet. As for fire? I totally cheat! I use the solid fuel you can buy from any grocery store and I think you call it fat wood we have a different name. If you need more than one match your matches are off. For a bad cheat… always have a can of sardines not only are they healthy trust me there oils make fire and they have there own tin. But be careful I did almost start a bush fire using that trick. And yes I was military so I am different
one time at 2 am in the morning between new mexico and texas i was sleeping at an abandoned camp ground at a lake when a trucks headlights woke me up. the truck was about 100 yards away and it turned and drove strait towards me I was feeling in the dark for my 45 the truck was moving and its doors were cracked open allowing the cab lights to illuminate 4-5 mexicans with shaved heads getting ready to jump out, at the last second they sped away. glad to see you carrying a pistol
Nothing against these survivalists who make these videos but every one of them is 100% wrong. Allow me to explain. You prepared for SHTF, and your neighbors didn't. You will lose your bugout bag. They will take it from you and there is not a damn thing you can do about it. Try to run. That huge already heavy ass pack that you are so proud of will weigh a ton by the time you run to the stop sign at the end of the road, and you will drop it. You aren't running through the woods because it will get caught on every low hanging branch and bush. Again, you will drop it. You aren't crossing a river or climbing a hill. And if you think you can protect it with a gun....well, you will run out of bullets before they run out of heads, John Wick. Bugging out and survival is not about how much cool fancy shit you can carry in your pack. It is about staying alive, nothing more, nothing less. If your bugout bag can not fit in 1 cargo pants pocket, then you are wrong, and you will lose your shit when SHTF.
What part of this video says Bug Out Bag? The dude is out for a day hike showing a pack. No one said anything about neighbors...did you even watch the video?

Never gonna beat my maxpedition falcon 2...
Not a chance ... if u like camo , simply put a camo rain cover on it .
Out performs EVERY OTHER PACK ...
Have you ever had any issues with ur jet boil?I was going to buy a cheaper one but it’s not recommended
Forget the pack, I love your hat!
I’ve have A LOT of packs over the years. I can say that the day ruck is my favorite pack ever made. I’ve had about 6 of them. I have to get my hands on another! Eyes up the multicam one!! Great vid brother.
Curious what you do with them? Set them up as contained kits in different locations? Give them away as gifts?
I'm amazed by the amount of gear you were able to fit in that pack. Great video.
Nice looking pack! 👍
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this informative video. That is a good looking pack. Stay safe out there. 😊
Another great production James.
Whenever I've had a bad day and need to relax I often watch your video's ... peace man ✌🏼

I like your backpack. Awesome collection of survival tools: so neat and tidy... easy access too. Very thorough explanations.❤❤❤
Very cool review. I know I’ve made the right choices when I see we have the same gear.
The right gear makes life so much easier.
This was awesome. Cheers, James! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️

Looks sick man ! Congratulations on all of your success.👍
Epic looking little spice kit...
Haha I was thinking it's quite a coincidence in timing 😅 🤣 and yes it's the best in business✊️🔥✌️💚
Hidden Woodsman is the gear I use as well, Nothing but the best!

Loved that pack for sure it holds alot. Myself and Doc like watching the reviews, but heck, we like all your videos. Much Love from Ohio.
These videos are always so relaxing and a nice escape from all the news and political madness. Thanks!

Great review hidden woodsman packs are sick!
You should try an 1870s-1910s wild west style of camping so period correct style of equipment but i can see that getting the equipment would be a pain in the ass
What is the difference between this special edition and the normal Hidden Woodsman Day Ruck? This one appears to be less expensive.
Great video. I have a question, in your time camping outdoors and walking the trails, have you run into a moutain lion/Cougar/Puma and if so is the 9 mm pistol capable of stopping one if attacked?
Excellent loadout and great pack!
Nice 👍… please tell us about your sidearm, I to feel strongly about the 2nd and edc 👍
I like that bag as well !
Looks like a great pack ,great review
Sweet loadout digging that Howling Dingo kit!!✊️🔥✌️💚
What holster did you get for your 365?
Good stuff James 👍
Hello my friend! Good stuff, thanks! Pink

Curious what is that firearm?
Brilliant day pack, have you considered a rapid deploy ridgeline? Also a GRAYL with SS nesting cup....JMO....ATB

Small bag lots of items❤
Condor Tactical H2O water bottle pouch. I've used two for years. They are well made. Nice pack, but way out of my price range.
You should weave those MOLLE straps through the webbing properly. The bottle holder and multitool would ride more securely, and not flop around.
Now that that thing has Molle , get a couple of army
sustainment pouches . Your pack ability will increase 10 fold . Also a coupe of GP / aka canteen pouches also . After looking at their site , they dont offer that camo , another issue is price .

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Rattle snakes, coyotes, mountain lion.
Plenty of reasons to carry.
