We had a great find last night ( Berkshire Mtn SAR in Massachusetts - GO BMSAR! ), and although it went great and ended on a high note I realized I still had all my summer gear on deck and my pack was seriously out of order, so I'm watching for better ideas. Be safe!
I like a lot of your products. I have my own channel and do medical gear reviews from time to time. One thing I didn’t see or I may have missed it was a mylar blanket and perhaps an emergency bivy. I think those two items would be an extremely valuable asset to have with you, and as light weight as they are it’s a win/win. What kind of Comms due you guys generally run? HAM radios? Good video and Thanks for taking the time to share your set up with us.
Hey thanks for the feedback, we cover our emergency shelter at 3:57 in the video which includes a bivy, air pad, and 0 deg sleeping bag. I also have 2 emergency blankets in the pack! They are definitely a win win item. As far as comms go, as a team we are licensed to use HAM radios!
Live The Creed thanks for the reply and I use ham radios as well for COM’s. I think they are some of the best forms of communications to have, and the testing is designed where most people can pass it, and just about everyone can afford the $10 fee. GREAT set up for overnight. Honest oversight on my part. I watched the video to about the 3:10 mark and then I fast forwarded to the scene where he sitting and removing items out of his bag which is where I thought the bag review started at. I’m going to research into that bivy tent, and pad for sure.
Very nice, thanks for the vid, good info. What brand is your backpack? I checked your other vids hoping maybe you had one just for that, but didn't see anything. I really like the bivy & pad, but got that product info from the vid. Links would help, tho. Thanks
@@LiveTheCreed Cool, thank you. Putting together a list of equipment options as a prospective member for the Placer Co Sheriff (CA) SAR team in the next year or so.
This was a waste of time! The only SAR equipment this guy carried was flagging tape. The rest was camping gear, and a lot of it. He did negatively comment on the sleep system. A bivy sack is intended for a temporary camp, an overnight stop enroute for example. Their intended purpose is to keep your sleep system dry. A lot of people, who like to sleep under the stars, use them as their primary shelter (not real fun in a storm). For 20 years in the military, I used one under a poncho/tarp, if inclement weather was expected. They are only as comfortable as the rest of your sleep system. Today I use a Snugpak Ionosphere and a tarp. I am always comfortable.
very well done excellent video
Thanks for the visit

Happy to hear everything turned out 👍hope you got some ideas, I should probably do an updated one for winter!
I'm a game developer making mountain-based games. This video wasn't only helpful, but it gave me loads of ideas to put forth in my work.
Right on glad it helped!
Live The Creed loving that Jocko shirt, bro!

Switch your base layers out to helly hansen brand way better
How you liking the OR Alpine bivy? Any condensation issues?
After my night sleeping out in the snow, yes, it did have some condensation. Maybe I should have vented it more though..
