Watched a lot of bag vids. This is the first one I haven't had a problem with! The ziplocks, the pill bottle, mutiple tools, socks, empty jerky bags are all things I have been carrying for years in addendum to my EDC. My EDC is a comfortable GHB, just shy of a full BOB. But my truck bag adds itself well to any kit. My truck has enough other gear to build another GHB because I camp out of it a lot; including a kitchen and 5gal Reliance water jug. I tend toward what I call gimmick axes instead of a hard use knife, but still have a Mora in every bag! A gimmick axe is a (usually) cheap full tang axe shaped object you see in trucks stops, Princess Auto (Canadian Harbour Freight), etc. I've found a few good ones over the years. Always have a Case knife, SAK, carbide hone, bandana and bics in my pockets. Multitool, flashlight, Zippo and utility folder on my belt. One thing I haven't got in a bag yet is a folding stove. Great for quick boil ups for coffe or lunch or to get around fire bans when your stove runs out of gas! I usually have a sawyer and/or a lifestraw but am high enough in the mountains to not worry about water quality! I also carry a hobo reel of some sort, my favorite is made out of a broken Maglite! Great kit, nice truck, good vid! Kick the rooster for me! I'm going to gobsee what else you've got out!
That jute twine is also tinder. Single use alcohol wipes are dirt cheap and light weight. Clean a cut or start a fire. They are great fire starters. It is amazing what baby wipes can clean. I carried them when I was working construction. Also taken a bath with them camping. Single use antiseptic wipes are good too. Some wire tent stakes or 20 penny nails. Tie down, nail something or make a pot stand. Amazon has some heavy duty Mylar emergency ponchos and blankets.
I learned several years ago to carry pine tinder and fat wood in a freezer bag to keep it dry. It comes in handy on those cold, wet hunts when you need to get your hands warm in a hurry. Or you could carry hand warmers to open up and slip into your pockets.
Water is my main issue in my location. Usually from a dirt tank or stock trough around here, I'm using an older Katadyn pump filter with paper coffee filter wrapped around the intake. I use an old 10 lt. water bladder because distances on foot could be days. Nobody wants to pick up hitchhikers these days.
Pimp’s gonna pimp. Appreciate you sharing that bag. I am reevaluating my current bag trying to shed some pounds. The heavy tarp and wool blanket in my bag are not lightweight but they are the American Express of my kit. I don’t leave home with them. Great video, thanks.
funny ranger coffee trick.. we up here In Canada ( Queens rangers) called instant coffee dumped in our mouths as ranger coffee .. very cool small world... yes agree new socks.. i have most of your stuff in mine.. ... my get home is actually a sling bad .. I also have a stainless steel bottle and a first Aid kit good video brother
I would add a couple of bandages, Band-Aids, small tube of Neosporin and a small vial iodine. A poncho and perhaps a Mylar blanket. Perhaps a flask of whiskey. LOL
Nice haversack. I always carry my Sierra cup , very sentimental, I’ve had it over 40yrs, canteen, shemagh on my person and bandanna, usually a red one. At least 3 knifes, SAN with saw, many choices in knife depending on where I’m going. I like one of the Moras, bushcraft black, Esee camp Lore, in my neck of the woods I carry a chopper or short machete. Fire kit, bank line, headlamp, gloves, water filter sometimes,small stove, pencil note pad, never go anywhere with my small field glasses, ferro rod. Of course my on person edc
Nice setup. I was part of Ranger school back when we had desert phase. We used to call 500mg motrin ranger candy. I remember a guy in mountain phase had recycled he came in our class with a canteen full Tylenol and Motrin. Needless to say the RIs took it. Lol
I would add my single wall SS quart container with my nesting cup, also stainless steel. My poncho with a liner, small first aid kit. Gorilla tape wrapped around 2 full sized bic lighters. A sail needle with the floss, aome fishing line with small hooks and split shot weights.mini binoculars. And always a compass. I know you said you know the area however, a trip and fall head injury and you are disoriented.. I'm 66 now and have several ailments. So i don't go far anymore. But if it way my day pack..my lightweight hammock And bank line as you mentioned. Definitely a small pew pew..
Booboo kit w/iodine. I also stash extra goodies in my water bottles. Collapsible 2qt canteen. A good cigar. (Multi use) Dont let that lifestraw freeze. Flashlight or headlamp. Folded up piece of heavy tinfoil. Keep on pimpin. Looks like your subs count is growin. Keep em comin!
Interesting bag, I had one years ago. I may still have it some where. It looks like it is based on the M1936 Musette Bag, of which I just bought a top notch reproduction, to use as a Haversack.
Very simplistic video, I would ditch the LifeStraw and replace it with a Sawyer Mini. It is more expensive BUT it is remarkably more versatile in comparison...They thread onto most water bottles or they come with a 1L bag the filter threads directly onto as well as being far more compact. I used to carry a wool blanket with me but they're bulky, not very compactable and heavy in comparison to something like the SOL Escape Bivvy. They pack down to nothing and I've slept outside under the stars in one in the middle of the desert winter in about 25-30 degrees in comfort. That was my test for functionality on one, however in my get home bag I also have a very lightweight inflatable sleeping pad that weighs less than 3oz to get me off the ground which kept me even warmer than the Bivvy on its own...so much so that I had to strip a layer from sweating. The folding saw I chose is the Bahco 396-LAP with a 9" blade and 7 Teeth Per Inch, similar to the Corona style and a very aggressive saw which has cut many tree limbs for me with ease. Funny thing I was looking at the exact corona saw in the description but went with the Bahco due to weight savings of 5.5oz, I used that particular weight savings to justify the sleeping pad. I've been backpacking my entire life and learned alot about weight as well as what to carry which helped a lot in deciding what goes into the pack. Me personally, being 6'1" and 225lb in good shape and sticking to the backpackers bible of no more than 25% Body weight I was able to fully outfit a GHB with everything from a super luxury item tent to food to a gun and extra ammo weighing in at 31.4LBS, I could and and have lived out of this pack for 5 days with a couple buddies who wanted to test their bags as well and see what they needed and didn't need. Best advice everyone should follow is test your gear and your setup, stay outside overnight to start then up it to a weekend and adjust accordingly.
Yeah, my Corona Saw in the video isn't available anymore apparently. I picked another Corona for the link with similar blade length. The one in my pack is super lightweight. 👌 Thanks for sharing about your kit. 🥳
I have had my wwii backpack for 20 years. Its been on many hunting trips. A few constants are always in it. Like fire kit, cloak or great kilt, ifak, bags trash and plastic, plastic table cloth for game meat, small tarp, balloons (they are for the ram pump but do work as flotation),playing cards, sling shot, socks, cup and single walled bottle with bandannas, and game kit usually, headlamp and flash light, and throwing knives for spear points. I have some dyneema 10x stronger than steel cable of same diameter weaved on outside of pack. The game kit has a cross cut saw in it. Think there is a sewing kit in it now because peep sight on bow is too big so use thread to make cross hairs. The snares were a surprise.
Two meds come to mind. I’ve have Chronic Lyme for over a decade and haven’t found anything better than Naproxen Sodium for muscle, and joint pains. I’m a big fan of Imodium for a case of the runny ass.
Throw some bullion cubes in your Vitamin D bottle, and you have flavor to add to other items and can make a nice soup out of whatever you forage. Even if you don't find anything, a warm cup of broth is nice to warm you up on a cold night. You can always take them out and stick them in the ziplock if you need the bottle for something else.
@efficientinthefield you asked what should you throw in if you are heading out for a few days. I would have a small pot with a lid,a pound of rice, and a pound of shelled nuts, seeds, or trail mix. A pound of rice will give you about five 1/2 cup (uncooked) servings. The nuts are good if you are on the move. You can eat the rice plain or flavor it with the bullion cubes. Leftover rice could be used to make soup or porridge. Both the nuts and rice can also be used as bait for your snares. If you put the rice in a plastic bottle and freeze it for a few weeks to kill off any larvae, you can leave it in your sack, and it should last a long time.
@@joeholloway4558 The Vietcong used to put rice in a sock, dip it in water, and hang it over the fire to cook it. You could even use a dirty sock for some flavor if you're out of bullion cubes. 🥳
Gorilla tape, heavy duty needle, along with your dental floss for repairs to your bag, clothes,etc. Imodium in your pill bottle. in case your filter don’t work so well against your dirty water. 😊
Light weight hand held knife sharpener,, Tungsten Carbide Multi Sharpener with Oiler, use it on all my knifes, a few strokes and your done, weighs nothing and costs about 6 to 8 bucks on Amazon, loved the video,, and the truck.
As far as carrying an extra sharpening device, I like the Speedy Sharp. It's small and perfect for EDC and work surprisingly well in my experience anyway.
Yes! This can really be an important piece of kit depending on where you are. I've got a miniature hobo fishing kit that will go in my bag if I'm going to be near waterways. 🥳
You didn't miss it. I do have a battery jump box in the truck with an LED on it, a head lamp in my get home back, and have my cell phone. A great piece of kit if you break down. 🙏
You didn't miss it. I didn't have any illumination in my haversack. I do keep a headlamp in my get home bag, a NOCO lithium battery jump box that has an LED on it, and my phone light. So I always have those with me unless I'm just going for a hike with my haversack and I have been known to throw a headlamp in there. I'm just not likely to use it as I prefer to practice using natural illumination. 🙏
I normally keep a headlamp in my get home bag, a NOCO battery jumper with an LED on it, and my phone which could be charged with the NOCO. 👌 Great to have if you get stuck on the side of the road and the SHTF ain't hit the fan yet. 🥳
Sure, that's going to be more bang for the buck for most people. I will say that I've had Leatherman and they were not nearly as well designed or constructed for those interested in that. 🙏
Cell phone. That said, I'd probably not use it. I practice using natural illumination and night vision skill and have become very capable of operating during the dark hours after decades of practice. I did a video about it.
