Those shovels are gold. I bought four and gave two as gifts years ago. They are heavy compared to any other folding shovel, which makes it a better chopper. Seriously overbuilt and durable. I made a sleeve to fit over the handle out of a piece of stainless exhaust tubing with slits on each end and some gear clamps. Now, I can clamp it down tight, and put a branch clamped in the other end for a full length handle if I choose. Pipe doubles as a container with plugs in the ends for small or fragile gear.
Hey Sgt can tell by you're voice you excited for your trip, I am excited to see the videos of it, have a great time sir. I really appreciate your channel sir and god bless all serving and vets from the us this vet from the UK salutes you all . 💜
I like the tools you have in your kit and especially the axe you have. It has been awhile since I saw an axe like that one and it is German and older. They made them during WWII and issued to their troops and still being issued to their troops. I am just planning on buying a hatchet to do the work of an axe, and hatchet also. Once I have all the tools I need I can get ready for my camping trip.
I just re-watched this video was just as good the 2nd time lol...you ever think about making a leather sheath for your machete with a smaller sheath to hold the saw blade as well? So the saw teeth aren't banging around...thank you as always. I enjoy your videos alot. God bless you and your family brother.
Duncan here, SSBA, You could take a length of old garden hose the same length of your bucksaw blade, slit it and place the blade inside to protect it in transport.
this video man ohhh man it got thinking and hooked. Now I mix my prep with tools.. mixed my prep and the refinishing of old tools. I have done a ton of them .. love it.. and agree love the wood.. I took a old spray paint 1945 US shovel , was a total write off .. now wow love it .. yep all your fault my friend, lol thank you for the inspiration love your videos
Another great video, can't wait to see the tools in use during your trip. On another note my T-Shirt came in the mail today it looks great. Can't wait to wear it out and about and bring up your channel to people who ask me about it.
Nice kit. I carry a Bellota, Columbian made machete which I pimped out with a leather & copper sheath. Gets a fair bit of work. Entrenching tool is something I will upgrade, I can get those German style ones at the Army Disposals in Cairns. Like you my tools receive regular use which means I have to gather, clean, sharpen, oil & pack when I want to go somewhere. That's the point of having tools right? I do the same with my gear, I stripped, clean & customise it, my favourite finish being timber & metal oiled & waxed, especially if it has age to it.
Been real sick, great video. But. My right of face is kind of frozen and I'm puking, dizzy. Will try to catch up a bit. Friends at church suggested a DVDs of your old shows and sell them to raise funds for your channel. Right now, passing out. Thank you for the video. God bless you and your family.
Good tool choices SSGT, i have too trenching tools/shovels one a british Army not too dissimilar to yours and one a folding belt order i got off airborne Ranger long story swapped kit lol looking forward to your full series and the Bushcraft camp As always thanks for sharing, appreciate your videos ATB Del
Great video SSgt. I have a cheap generic version of the Rambo knife that I keep in my kit bag. Unfortunately because it's made of carbon steel instead of stainless steel I have to keep sharpening it after each use. Next piece of tool kit on my list is an actual decent size axe and shovel that can be carried on my bug out bag.
Sounds like it's going to be an amazing trip. That's cool that you will be able to build your own camp. Make it a little more homey lol. Can you give a recommendation on where to get a decent pull saw like you have? I've bought some of the cheaper ones and I break them in minuets lol.
I haven't seen one of those old West German shovels in ages, the Chinese actaully do a decent copy but it is hands down one of the best folding shovels available. The originals are getting pretty pricey and hard to come by. Myself I just use the little SOG tri fold, my Ames made in 91 or my Cold Steel if I pack a shovel.
There is thin long metal strips that is flexable that you can roll up that you can use to wrap logs in an X pattern and tap in a nail to form walls roofs and floor and raised beds with. Long term beats lashing wood screws even better. 😁
Have you done any videos with the idea of some of the ways of using the spray on Flex Seal to waterproof walking/work boots, use to keep wooden handled tools from slipping when striking wood, metal etc. By the way I love your leather works, I wish I had grabbed my Grand-dads leather tools and could make blade sheaths, belts, etc myself.
one thing I would consider if doing something where you were away an extended period of time I would consider a chainsaw, log splitter and a single side heavy axe
the point of the comment was the case that it was going to a longer event where you might not return to your home where a disaster has taken place and the requirement make a shelter large enough to store you and family may be a requirement where the current tools you have would not suffice for that application, yes excess weight is a consideration though though consider a solution for a longer stay log splitters shouldn't be more than a couple kg's the axe shouldn't be more than 2.5-3.5 kg at max.... something to consider is to be able to create a shelter that will be a more permanent deal...
Step One survival fair enough what this is meant for vs the reality of survival is 2 vastly different scenarios if you are going to get into a proper tool kits for survival application this might be okay for week roughing in a tent though consider this if are going to consider the survival prepper mind preparing for a scenario where you would need to build something more permanent shelter.. No matter how healthy we are, when we age out health goes south or north where it should be.. There's only 1 option and it ain't bunking on the floor
cool setup man. Lots of stuff to create something with. The first knife is sweet. wish i could get my hands on something like that :D The other tools are just as sweet. :D TFS man can't wait to see the videos from out there :D C.R.
with the saw blade could you put the cord through the hole then wrap it around the belt loop so its more secure and wont fly out when you grab you machete
"bring stuff to build with", "stuff to catch food" = long-term sustainability. Means being 'Tool Heavy' and not Consumable heavy. However, for that Uber SHTF situation one MRE has its place. >>ONE
actually, it doesn't have to be an MRE... just some kind of something that you can eat directly without cooking. Whatever it might be. As for long-term feasibility; that's something to work on. It takes a 'group' for long-term sustainability, community (INCH). We have 5 adults on our group at the moment. 5 adults with coordinated packs. Long-term tools that need to be carried, to affect the end-goal of a group bug-out; need to focus on food procurement and (durable) shelter building.
$90 for your tracker ? Bugger ! Would you believe me if I said they charge £175:00 - £200.00 for these over here in the UK ? That's why I've never bought one , I can't justify spending that much on a knife ? It's a shame as the design is epic ...atb from Scotland... :-)
Would you consider do a project with a fiskars x5? It’s the same size of your hand hatchet and you can stuff things inside the handle (being hollow) since I heard that you like Rambo knives in this video. I’m a new subscriber and looking to all your videos day after day :) that’s why I’m on a 6 years old video
hey man where do u get your leather at for your holsters . love them an want to try it out ... let me know if u would like to do some trading. for one I have a glock 27 would like to have a holster made by you .
Tom Olofsson yeah just to deburr it on the edges it's not razors sharper anything having an edge on it helps me dig a little bit better since it's such a small shovel
hit up PreparedMind101 or Tom Chitwood, either of them can answer any of your knife repair questions, they both design and make knives, Tom is recovering from a hit-and-run accident but he can still answer any questions
I'm gizmo illetirit SSBA...but... been inking soldiers for yrz....fort drum..,. passing through Tenn soon... will leave bad azz ink for y'all n exchange for ...
the rambo knife.... ahh....i had several. unfortunately...there are inferior imitations. and the size of the early ones i had was impractical. the idea however i thought was great. i seen a few recently still being pushed by imports. today i would carry one....but i dont think there is one actually made to high quality and practical specs. size....material requirements and practicality. but i had a few. They drew first blood! but rambo...u was supposed to have been prepared and seen that coming.....u mean they dont teach u intuitive knowkedge in basic combat and foraging? johnny rambo. i blame billy bad ass. johnny rambo and billy bad ass. what a combination. maybe one day theyll get there act together and make a decent survival knife.....and quit pestering the sherrifs dept....by loitering and sitting on a street corner begging for booze money.
Guns McPewpew, I was just wondering how many liters...I have a 30 liter, a 100 liter( that sounds insane but it's an 80 liter bucket but has 4 exterior pouches that equal 100 liters) and another shoulder bag as an EDC bag it's probably about 20-25 liters. That is why I am asking, what size bag he is carrying. I appreciate the reply though knowing SSBA is can't get back to everyone.
before you ever make another video. set yourself one rule. DONT EVER CUT OFF RANDY RHODES GUITAR SOLO AGAIN> EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER> thanks. new subscriber. continued subscriber once you rectify this problem.

I love watching your videos cause you make me laugh so much, especially when I'm not feeling very good. Thank you for that.
Elizabeth Leverence I appreciate that thank you
good choice of kit you must be getting that pre-trip feeling
thank you for sharing your knowledge & experience brother
God bless
craig allen gonna be awesome god bless
I just re-watched this video was just as good the 2nd time lol...you ever think about making a leather sheath for your machete with a smaller sheath to hold the saw blade as well? So the saw teeth aren't banging around...thank you as always. I enjoy your videos alot. God bless you and your family brother.
A small set of bypass pruners is always nice when yall gonna weave stuff together and collecting spruce to lay on.
I'm looking forward to your trip 👍
Me too starts the 15th
The sheaths are awesome, extra love for the axe sheath.
Duncan here, SSBA, You could take a length of old garden hose the same length of your bucksaw blade, slit it and place the blade inside to protect it in transport.
Duncan MacTavish it should be alright it's not gonna move around too much in the pack.

Dave V nice
Dave V those shirts turned out good
Great idea do a video building a bushcraft camp with this tools. Thanks for sharing!
You could put a wide ranger band around the machete handle & saw blade to keep them in place.
Great Scott I knew someone had an idea
Nice kit. I carry a Bellota, Columbian made machete which I pimped out with a leather & copper sheath. Gets a fair bit of work.

Awesome videos. Watching when I can. Have been in the field for a little while.
Nice

Diebulfrog79 god bless get well
That shovel is awesome.
You still crack me up bro. Nice bag.
thank you for the info on the radio
Love the tunes!, & T-Rex, Billy is a trouble maker :) Look forward every afternoon to seeing your post. Always take "something" away from it.
MIchael J thank you
I would go with a lighter shovel. Also make a choice between an axe or just a heavy duty machete. The heavier your gear the less you can bring.
Git ‘em,T-Rex! Nice review on necessary tools. Carry on!
One minute in and already awesome.
You are a great guy, keep on doing what you and Sippy Cup do, until Jesus Returns.
SSGT. BADASS, looking foward to watch 2 ex military guys getting by in the woods. hope to learn a few things from your adventures.
Greg Boss gonna be fun
Nice tools man, love the axe.
Henry Ashley thank you
SOS enjoy your trip! Hope you can video some of it.😊🌲🌳🌞
Linda Hipple whole thing
“I️ fixes the RUclips ad problem, it was billy all along” LOL
The saw blade in the machete sheathe seems dangerous. You could cut your hand if you forget and then go to pull the machete out.
Good tool choices SSGT, i have too trenching tools/shovels one a british Army not too dissimilar to yours and one a folding belt order i got off airborne Ranger long story swapped kit lol
looking forward to your full series and the Bushcraft camp
As always thanks for sharing, appreciate your videos
ATB Del
Prepper Del it's going to be fun
Great video SSgt. I have a cheap generic version of the Rambo knife that I keep in my kit bag.

Next piece of tool kit on my list is an actual decent size axe and shovel that can be carried on my bug out bag.
David Genthner Jr definitely
It's the other was around, stainless steel doesnt hold an age as well as carbon steel
just have to say I love your channel, you crack me up sarge. also alot of good info.
Thanks brother
Sounds like it's going to be an amazing trip. That's cool that you will be able to build your own camp. Make it a little more homey lol. Can you give a recommendation on where to get a decent pull saw like you have? I've bought some of the cheaper ones and I break them in minuets lol.

Thanks for the info.
I haven't seen one of those old West German shovels in ages, the Chinese actaully do a decent copy but it is hands down one of the best folding shovels available. The originals are getting pretty pricey and hard to come by.
Myself I just use the little SOG tri fold, my Ames made in 91 or my Cold Steel if I pack a shovel.
TurtleWolf Pack I've had this one for years
Step One survival your kids will be using it years after you as well most likely!
There is thin long metal strips that is flexable that you can roll up that you can use to wrap logs in an X pattern and tap in a nail to form walls roofs and floor and raised beds with. Long term beats lashing wood screws even better. 😁
Man yall r livin the dream!!
T-Rex eats another! I love it.
Thank you. Take care.
Thank you
Looking fwd. to your camping videos.
daniel behm I can't wait
love the tools great vid
llldustin thank you
Things happen brother. I love that axe, nice video.
Thank you
Cool shovel

I’m not sure if I missed commenting on this one or not. Anyways, great video and share. Thank you!!!!✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Wow that's going to be a cool video bro nice😎👍👍
one thing I would consider if doing something where you were away an extended period of time I would consider a chainsaw, log splitter and a single side heavy axe
Jason howe 40 mile hike with a chainsaw full size ax and log splitter sounds like a great idea.
the point of the comment was the case that it was going to a longer event where you might not return to your home where a disaster has taken place and the requirement make a shelter large enough to store you and family may be a requirement where the current tools you have would not suffice for that application, yes excess weight is a consideration though though consider a solution for a longer stay
log splitters shouldn't be more than a couple kg's the axe shouldn't be more than 2.5-3.5 kg at max....
something to consider is to be able to create a shelter that will be a more permanent deal...
Jason howe that makes a lot more sense for a not coming back scenario. this bag is for a week trip. bushcraft camp building
Step One survival fair enough what this is meant for vs the reality of survival is 2 vastly different scenarios if you are going to get into a proper tool kits for survival application this might be okay for week roughing in a tent though consider this if are going to consider the survival prepper mind preparing for a scenario where you would need to build something more permanent shelter..
No matter how healthy we are, when we age out health goes south or north where it should be..
There's only 1 option and it ain't bunking on the floor
thanks. great as always.
Crown Royal thank you
cool setup man. Lots of stuff to create something with. The first knife is sweet. wish i could get my hands on something like that :D The other tools are just as sweet. :D
TFS man can't wait to see the videos from out there :D C.R.
Creative Redundancy it's gonna be fun
Should make a shovel with a handle you can fill with fishing supplies fire starter stuff redundant supplies Yall know will always be there in a pinch.
I have the same shovel only mine doesn't have a sae on it. It did come with a leather sheath.
Its heavy duty
with the saw blade could you put the cord through the hole then wrap it around the belt loop so its more secure and wont fly out when you grab you machete
Newb Tactical yeah
"bring stuff to build with", "stuff to catch food" = long-term sustainability. Means being 'Tool Heavy' and not Consumable heavy. However, for that Uber SHTF situation one MRE has its place. >>ONE

I always thumbs up support god bless
Be Prepared god bless
I love the tracker I what one
you need to do another video of all the acronyms and references to bring the newer viewers up to speed(Billy)
clendennan I hope they understand that Billy is a troll
No one ever adds bypass pruners into their kits. They are neat little tools. 😊
Indigo Dragon71 lol
Yall need to make a walking staff out of a silky 650mm hand saw with the saw protected in the head of the staff yet full functional.
I know it was Billy all a long good job T-Rex good job
HA! man I got a knife my grandfather used in Vietnam ill have to do a video!
I remember one time I went camping and made me a house and got eaten by a bear. I was the S____ lol Have fun Brother
Wes S lol
I got one of those Rambo knives it's awesome & very large
Zq Spider nice

This is one of the 10 videos. Watch the Survival Bag playlist - Survival Bag Series - Miscellaneous
Hey I wanted to know what brand the knife with the antler handle it looks like a very nice knife
I wish you were my neighbor SSG
$90 for your tracker ? Bugger ! Would you believe me if I said they charge £175:00 - £200.00 for these over here in the UK ? That's why I've never bought one , I can't justify spending that much on a knife ? It's a shame as the design is epic ...atb from Scotland... :-)
Paul Barron pricey
Would you consider do a project with a fiskars x5? It’s the same size of your hand hatchet and you can stuff things inside the handle (being hollow) since I heard that you like Rambo knives in this video.

Impracticool Jack just look up German military shovel on eBay militaria
Hey ssgt badass can u do a review on some survival tips
liked.
GO T-REX!
😇💖🙏
Do you use a file to sharpen the shovel?
Tom Olofsson yeah just to deburr it on the edges it's not razors sharper anything having an edge on it helps me dig a little bit better since it's such a small shovel
it's called hobo camp ok. and it's bigfoot's house
good video :)
Azrael thank you
hit up PreparedMind101 or Tom Chitwood, either of them can answer any of your knife repair questions, they both design and make knives, Tom is recovering from a hit-and-run accident but he can still answer any questions

you need "EL CHETE"
SSBA, what size pack are you taking??
Jeff Grumley he carries a 72 hour bag. it's really enough for 2 weeks.
Guns McPewpew, I was just wondering how many liters...I have a 30 liter, a 100 liter( that sounds insane but it's an 80 liter bucket but has 4 exterior pouches that equal 100 liters) and another shoulder bag as an EDC bag it's probably about 20-25 liters. That is why I am asking, what size bag he is carrying. I appreciate the reply though knowing SSBA is can't get back to everyone.
Jeff Grumley i don't know the literage, sorry, i'm useless again
