My granddaughter watch every week. She and I have built several of shelters in woods on my property.. she is 6 yrs old and has learned so much from your videos. I appreciate you and she loves her man in the woods.🐕🦺🇺🇲
My wife is “Amazing” If you ask her about her childhood she will talk about the time she spent in the garden and fishing 🎣 all with her Grandfather. I owe that man a lot because I have been blessed with the responsibility of loving the woman he created. I’ll thank you for creating the next generation of amazing women, just incase her future husband doesn’t have opportunity to meet the man that set her down that path 🙏
The pocket knife that shawn has is a (78 ) not the 79, its just a woopsie no shade, so you don't buy the wrong one guys the actual 79 with the corkscrew on it is like $20 cheaper is why I mentioned and corrected it.., I carry a ranger grip 79 because (instead of having a screwdriver) on the bottom, (it's got a corkscrew), the one in this video ( is the 78 ) ( that's the only difference), it has the saw and everything and I use it for untying knots and I keep a little sail needle in the corkscrew that I shortened. Also for some reason the 79 always is $20 or more cheaper for whatever reason.
I'm a little late to the party on Saint Patrick's Day here, I had to get some coffee before I can watch it's kind of my thing on Sunday, anyways happy Saint Patrick's day everybody!
I looked this morning when I woke up, then randomly... then as soon as the video dropped, first I went to look.. not there, watched video... looked again and sold out.. you got lucky! Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐! Maybe one day for me.
For anyone wondering about or wanting more info on that assault pack - I had it in my left over military gear from my time in. I used to hike 2 stretches of the Appalachian Trail with my friend and former RUclips AT hiker. He had some nice uktralite gear and all the latest fashions. I had my assault pack. I was able to fit food, my gray or geopress, hammock w attachments, woobie, spare socks, shirt and shorts, some minimal bushcraft gear… I think I came in around 20-25lbs.
I used to get made fun of for the saw on my Victorinox "Camping" knife. Well, I know of one guy who is happy for it. He fell rock climbing near my friend and I. I cut down a small tree to make a crutch to rapidly evacuate him out of the forest and to the hospital. That knife has been around the world with me and built or destroyed more things. I now carry its successor - same brand and style - while it rests in retirement on my desk at home - broken and reshaped can opener and short blade. All still functional, just a little less efficient.
Outstanding AF, Corporal! One of your best videos yet. You may have saved some poor souls life by making it. God bless and have a wonderful day. ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm a 70 something & knees & ankles take all the fun outofhiking/tracking/fishing now-a-days, but had a setup close to what you're advising here. Mine, in my 20s was bit heavier. Diff was paracord wasn't a common item & never heard of bankline. Sashcord, jute line, braided fishing line, &/or a lightweight rope (usually a 50ft len.). Used a folder, usually, and "carpenter's hatchet (straight blade w/a hammer peen) & an 18-20 inch machete. I forget what rest of gear was, but, there was a coffeepot tucked in somewhere. May have most tucked away, but, 40yrs past and my furry pard long gone w/most of the gear. Oh Well! Good vid, Corp.
This is the kind of information that is practical and stays out of the tacticool territory. Don't get me wrong, going out fully loaded for adventure is fun, but this is what I would have with me if things go south. It's like all of the edc videos where they have a US General tool box tucked into their Tardis sized pockets. I field dressed the last deer I shot with a $6 Cabelas branded pocket knife. Not my first choice, but it was in my pocket and saved me from having to take an extra trip back to my jeep.
The items to be included in any ‘survival’ kit seems to be ‘fluid’ in that we can always think of something else! I like your approach! Doing is the best teacher!
The Gorilla clear repair tape fits the bill, but it only comes in 2 inch wide I believe. It's great because it sticks when cold or wet, and it has slightly serrated edges so it can be torn by hand like duct tape! It also doesn't become brittle when old like duct tape!! It's actually easy to tear in small strips, so it may still work, it would just be harder to carry. Thry may have a 1 inch wide one now though!!
Sean, all that you talked about, you've covered in your video library. If people would listen and remember, they would realize that 'gee, he covered that in this or that video'. Thanks for the reminder, and the fact that you now have all that info in one area.
Maybe next time bring some pumpernickel, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut with thousand island dressing into the bush. No BS !! Just some rocking eats that all can relate to. I really like your shows, keep up the great work and never not enjoy yourself!
Great presentation! The only thing I would change is to pull the fero rid to you and hold the knife still. It’ll give you better control of where you are throwing your sparks and better control of that sharp edge. You actually did this at about 18 minutes in but it might be worth mentioning. I love these! Please keep them coming!
Re the military duct tape/gun tape - when I was in, I used to keep a mini roll rolled onto a pen or pencil by splitting the 2" tape down the middle then rolling it on carefully and dog earring the end. Pull out another pen/pencil, do the same and you have a couple of 1" rolls of tape to use for whatever reason I needed.
We love your videos! Our girls also enjoy watching them - it’s education and also has clean language. Whenever my girls ask, “What’s outstanding AF mean?”. Since I’m an Air Force veteran (I still have the paper cuts to prove it) they just think “AF” means “Air Force”. Great job, as always, Marine!
I really liked the mentality of this video. You don't have to have the best or most expensive gear to practice your skills or to take a course. I think more people need to hear that.
This was a good reminder to check your edc bag regularly. I went through mine as I was watching and realized I had taken a few things out and not put them back. Thanks Shawn
I know you've done "what's in my pack" videos before, but this is a great refresher course. I was trying to figure out what to put into my pack for this spring and came up blank. Thank you, I needed this.
Thanks for the information. I've been building and giving get home bags to my siblings and nephews and nieces for years, using a similar equipment list. The first two I came up with were close to fifteen pounds, and pared it down to ten pounds afterwards, My family laughed at first, but most have ended up using the duct tape, poncho, fleece jacket or bandana from the bags as well as the water bottle. I added water purification tablets, a small ziplock bag w/ OTC meds and bandaids and a granola bar and put them in the Nalgene bottle. After watching your videos have replaced para-cord with bank line, works great when needed.
Personally I think 15 lbs is more appropriate and all purpose. If you're making it for a kid, that's one thing. Adults though? You can get a whole lot more and cover so many bases with that extra 5 lbs than limiting yourself to a one night emergency. My hunting/camping 3 day pack has everything I need minus food and comes in at about 16 lbs. I make it heavier when I go hiking to not get out too out of shape since I have a 60L pack for the AT. My 3 day pack though has all this and so much more to be far more comfortable and cover a variety of conditions (and redundancy). And of course, a Sawyer water filter. You can't rely on being able to boil water all the time. No idea how he left that out (unless I missed it).
Best Sunday morning vid in a long time. Informative and useful. The reason I started watching you in the first place. And, I didn't have to watch you eat breakfast 😅. Thanks!
I found a Bic lighter in a lake once. It was in there for a whole and was all rusty. I pulled it out, blew on it and dried it out for about 10 minutes ( to be on the safe side) and it still worked. Bic never fails
I don't get to your channel often these days, but I consider your videos at the top of the short list of valuable survival and woodland skills videos. Thank you for the continued content!
Nephews should enjoy this one, 13, 11, 9. They each have a Condor compact assault pack to fill. We, together, yesterday made it out to our camping spot. We were surprised to find a large tree came down into camp, past the fire pit and into where we had hung our tarp back in September. We had an interesting discussion about widow makers.
I appreciate the info about the USGI brand poncho. I was never in the military but have been wanting a military style poncho to carry on trail walks/day hikes just in case since it can be rain gear, a shelter, etc. I already have a surplus poncho liner that I found at a thrift store (it has the tag with the military specs on it so I believe it is the real deal). The problem is that there are so many variations on Amazon/the Internet that I never know what is a good one that is as large as a military one, etc. To have someone who was in the military say that this one is just like the military version except for being a lighter color really helps especially since it is also less expensive than a lot of the ones you see online..
I do a lot of hammock camping using a tarp above me in case it rains thanks to your videos but I'd like to see you do one in your videos thanks corporal!
I found one. Go to his channel page, then go to playlists, click the "overnighters" playlist. "Return to the secret pond and campfire chat" is the video. It's number 15 on the playlist! Cheers!
Kelly ,I watch your videos faithfully and the items you tell us to get ,I have in my car all the time as well as extra items in case of emergency . Thank you. From August Georgia
Regarding the tape, a couple years ago you showed folks how to wrap 1 inch wide strips of tape around the Bic lighter. I went a bit overboard on that idea using the 4 inch hundred mile an hour tape. I tote off 1 inch strips and did my lighter and one end of my ferro rod. I have about four wraps (maybe a couple feet) of a two inch wide strip on my knife sheath, and several wraps of 4 inch wide on my staff just below where I typically hold it. I live in the desert so getting the tape wet hasn't been a problem
The mora bushcraft black is my favorite knife. The 90 degree spine is awesome. Mora blades are always super sharp. I use it to split small wood. And it’s affordable!
I really liked this one! No BS.. just straight info on the basic necessities without an agenda of selling or promoting specific gear. Thanks and keep the videos coming!! 👍
Great gear load out corporal. Everything you have, we know it's been tried and tested. If i was stranded on a desert island, that's the kit I'd want. Plus, corporal, too lol
Another fire starter that is not affected by wind is a plasma lighter, especially the ones shaped like a cigarette lighter within a waterproof container.
I’m considering myself your online student, i changed my approach to gear and improved my knots significantly. Thanks for these lessons, i’m happy to learn like this. Side effect: i don’t wanna go back to the city =)
I'm just up to the bit where he's talking about the bank line vs paracord. I know there's paracord that is designed for survival situations that has fishing line and other cool stuff inside as well. I'm just thinking that you could pick normal or survival paracord.... or both..... pick an option. Where I'm heading with this: you would be very surprised about how much paracord you can actually fit down the inside of that tube of bankline! It's a LOT!!! That's what I would do, fill up the "waisted" space in your rucksack will something that is very, very useful 😊
I really enjoy your videos and I also want to say thank you for your service and sacrifices you have given our great country I am grateful for what yall do and again thank you
Well done! Practical and lightweight. I did almost identical kits for my niece and nephew when they moved away. All of the stuff will fit into a large Jansport book bag and go totally unnoticed by most people. Thank you for your continued excellent content!👍
Good presentation. The only thing I would have added would have been a little bit more about some kind of med kit. Even if it was just as simple as throwing in two or three alcohol wipes and using the tape for a Band-Aid. I think at least mentioning first aid or a Med kit would be helpful to remind people to think about it, even for day hikes. Overall, well done. 👍
Excellent Corporal. Funny, today I checked one of my day packs to remember what I had in it. The pack is a small old military pack I got from a nun 😮 for real😊. I did not know about this video 😊 take care
Good breakdown of the gear needed for your classes. I appreciate the more realistic approach of a day hike or hunt going wrong, more than the extreme Rambo stuff. Your cup and bottle sets sure go fast. I checked about an hour in. Good for you!
Nice job! This popped up on my feed because I'm all about simple kits for day hikes that go wrong, and I'm enjoying your recent videos. For day hikers, have you thought about trying out some smaller ferro rods? I've had a lot of success with the Bayite keychain ferro rod. Just something to play around with. I've been caring around a poncho ever since I saw your 1st video several years and recently switched to a Syl nylon poncho to shave 1lb off of my kit. Not super bushcrafty but still pretty effective. Keep it up!
Used do some winter mountaineering/back country skiing. Used to duct tape orange paracord to my Bic lighter and wore it around my neck. Kept the lighter warm and was easy to find if dropped in the snow.
Ohhh man! That poncho sistem looks really interesting. Im absolutely checking it out. Great find there. Looking forward to the new projects and adventures. They are gonna be rad. Thanks for all the effort you put into this videos, its appreciated!
@stephenbarabas6286 can't be worse than what i already have ... lol. Thanks for the heads up. I would like to see it in action before i make any decision. It is a great find nonetheless. Rough around the edges i can work with.
I would guess you could cut the 90mile Tape into 1 inch. I found the same problem with Gorilla Tape while Ice Fishing in MN And anyone ever been in Colder Climents training or real knows that stick on Velcro without reinforced stitching is just as useless. I've used the NSN 90 tape to at -15 no problems, Gorilla tape is a spring summer adventure though I still use it. As for as that pack, I have one the same one I went to OIF with all the other stuff comes with the larger pack its crazy modular you can do anything with those two packs best Pocket knife is a SAK "Huntsman" but I do like the "Ranger"
Very good instructive and informative video. 9 of the 10 C's are shown individually. The eyelet in the awl of the Victorinox Ranger Grip 79 knife can be used for sewing. Thus, a heavy duty sewing needle. The 10th C. Bravo!
I've always cut the hundred mile an hour tape in half and wrapped it around lighters, knives, etc.... Not as convenient as a 1" roll of tape but it works.
As a red seal roofer in Canada i can testify that any adhesives and tapes do not adhere when damp, dusty or cold. I try to avoid adhered products in such conditions and use mechanical fastenings or ballast instead. In less than ideal situations keeping the gorilla tape in your jacket will keep it warm until use at least increasing its effectiveness. Using heat sources to dry the substrate after cleaning can help but its usually an uphill struggle. If anyone finds tape that does i'll be amazed however my wife uses alien tape from Costco in the liquor store cooler for the shelf price tags and it sticks when cold. Does pine pitch stick to a damp substrate like a poncho with a hole in it to repair it ?. I dont think there's one product that sticks in all three circumstances, got me thinking though.
Aside from watching my son create a sustainable fire faster than I did, My favorite part of the DirtBound/Strange Raven basic class we did last year was learning basic navigation. That is something I'll forever cherish learning from those fellas.
the basic moraknive's are amazing for the low cost, they are light weight, sharp and durable. everyone should have a few of them to throw in various packs/ kits. they hardly take up any space or weight and id take one of those over almost any folding pocket knife( which i also have in my pocket:))
20:02 Get a roll of the two inch military tape, and use a hacksaw to cut the roll in half to give two one inch thick rolls, then cut one of those in half to give two half-inch rolls. That'll give more flexibility of width options 👍👍👍👍
Local gun shop had a supply of sustainment pouches and poncho liners, $10 for the pouch and $20 for the liner which was new so bought a few to outfit my packs. The liners stuff into the pouches easily and being MOLLE attach to my packs on the outside or easily to web gear. I imagine a poncho could go in just fine also.
Great loadout What about buying the 2" military tape that you want and pulling out 2 or 3 feet, cutting it down the middle to make it 1" and wrapping it around your bic and other suitable items?
Huuuuyyyyyyyyyyyy son exelentes sus videos soy colombiano pero lo q usted explica con las manos las capto lijero también Fuy militar pero ver me haze recordar mis tiempos de contra guerrillero ejército de Colombia

I'm a little late to the party on Saint Patrick's Day here, I had to get some coffee before I can watch it's kind of my thing on Sunday, anyways happy Saint Patrick's day everybody!
My guy just lit his tent stake on fire. I was no way I just watched that. Learn something new everyday. Thanks corporal
Maybe try to spot some litter first..
And probably don't want to cook food on that fire.
Been sitting on Etsy hitting refresh for an hour... FINALLY got a cup and bottle set! 👍
I looked this morning when I woke up, then randomly... then as soon as the video dropped, first I went to look.. not there, watched video... looked again and sold out.. you got lucky! Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐! Maybe one day for me.
@@jasongarling20 When my final, "refresh" showed the sets, 35 had already sold. Luck to say the least!

I always appreciate how you're not a mouth breather in the close up cuts of the gear. That drives me nuts on other channels
Outstanding AF, Corporal! One of your best videos yet. You may have saved some poor souls life by making it. God bless and have a wonderful day. ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Good vid, Corp.
I am 76YO, so what you say strikes a cord with me. I have 10 acres and that is about all I can handle now, if that!😆
great video. nice looking kit. one item l would bring is a whistle. helps you get found quicker. stay safe.
This is the kind of information that is practical and stays out of the tacticool territory. Don't get me wrong, going out fully loaded for adventure is fun, but this is what I would have with me if things go south. It's like all of the edc videos where they have a US General tool box tucked into their Tardis sized pockets.
I field dressed the last deer I shot with a $6 Cabelas branded pocket knife. Not my first choice, but it was in my pocket and saved me from having to take an extra trip back to my jeep.
Hooah❤. Corporal, in this crazy world, you give me peace. God bless America.
Thank you for teaching us this information.
Happy st Patrick's Day everyone have fun be safe
Practical, straightforward, and to the point! Excellent
The items to be included in any ‘survival’ kit seems to be ‘fluid’ in that we can always think of something else!
I like your approach! Doing is the best teacher!
It's a balancing act between mobility and fully prepared.
The Gorilla clear repair tape fits the bill, but it only comes in 2 inch wide I believe. It's great because it sticks when cold or wet, and it has slightly serrated edges so it can be torn by hand like duct tape! It also doesn't become brittle when old like duct tape!! It's actually easy to tear in small strips, so it may still work, it would just be harder to carry. Thry may have a 1 inch wide one now though!!
I am so excited to utilize this new packing list on all my day hikes! Thank you Shawn! Gear dump vids are my absolute fav!
Sean, all that you talked about, you've covered in your video library. If people would listen and remember, they would realize that 'gee, he covered that in this or that video'. Thanks for the reminder, and the fact that you now have all that info in one area.
Happy St. Patrick's day.
Hi Shawn, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺 , thank you for your time to make these videos, .
More proof you don’t need a ton of gear to survive a few days. Knowledge is the key.
Maybe next time bring some pumpernickel, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut with thousand island dressing into the bush. No BS !! Just some rocking eats that all can relate to. I really like your shows, keep up the great work and never not enjoy yourself!
Corned beef or pastrami will cap it off!!
Just wanted you to know, I really appreciate you and enjoy you and your professional content.
Great presentation! The only thing I would change is to pull the fero rid to you and hold the knife still. It’ll give you better control of where you are throwing your sparks and better control of that sharp edge. You actually did this at about 18 minutes in but it might be worth mentioning.
I love these! Please keep them coming!
Another Outstanding A.F video my friend.
I got shivers down my spine... I could hear the sand in that pocket knife... WOOOAH...😵💫
What a great informative direction.
I also love the bird life sounds from the background.
Thanks

I really liked the mentality of this video. You don't have to have the best or most expensive gear to practice your skills or to take a course. I think more people need to hear that.
I appreciate the simple, common man approach.
I've been goin through a phase of re-evaluating my kits and this came along! Thanks for readin my mind :)
This was a good reminder to check your edc bag regularly. I went through mine as I was watching and realized I had taken a few things out and not put them back. Thanks Shawn

Corporal you may have to get the 2 in roll and cut it in half. I’ve had to go that route several times over the years.
I do a lot of hammock camping using a tarp above me in case it rains thanks to your videos but I'd like to see you do one in your videos thanks corporal!

Been camping for a few days this week so this is a good way to round out the trip for us. 😊
Have to admit, I hated the plastic stakes until I learned this hack. I think from your channel a while back.
I really liked this one! No BS.. just straight info on the basic necessities without an agenda of selling or promoting specific gear. Thanks and keep the videos coming!! 👍
Great gear load out corporal. Everything you have, we know it's been tried and tested. If i was stranded on a desert island, that's the kit I'd want. Plus, corporal, too lol
You have some awesome kit on Etsy.I received my green hoodie.Many thanks 👍
This kind of video never gets old for me. Reminds me of when I first started watching your channel. Great stuff! Thanks so much, Corporal!
He's never boring always informative!

Another fire starter that is not affected by wind is a plasma lighter, especially the ones shaped like a cigarette lighter within a waterproof container.
I’m considering myself your online student, i changed my approach to gear and improved my knots significantly. Thanks for these lessons, i’m happy to learn like this. Side effect: i don’t wanna go back to the city =)
I'm just up to the bit where he's talking about the bank line vs paracord. I know there's paracord that is designed for survival situations that has fishing line and other cool stuff inside as well. I'm just thinking that you could pick normal or survival paracord.... or both..... pick an option. Where I'm heading with this: you would be very surprised about how much paracord you can actually fit down the inside of that tube of bankline! It's a LOT!!! That's what I would do, fill up the "waisted" space in your rucksack will something that is very, very useful 😊
I really enjoy your videos and I also want to say thank you for your service and sacrifices you have given our great country I am grateful for what yall do and again thank you
Well done! Practical and lightweight. I did almost identical kits for my niece and nephew when they moved away. All of the stuff will fit into a large Jansport book bag and go totally unnoticed by most people. Thank you for your continued excellent content!👍
I'm kinda stunned. I actually carry most of those exact same items in my bag. Right down to the exact brand name.
Good presentation. The only thing I would have added would have been a little bit more about some kind of med kit. Even if it was just as simple as throwing in two or three alcohol wipes and using the tape for a Band-Aid. I think at least mentioning first aid or a Med kit would be helpful to remind people to think about it, even for day hikes.
Overall, well done. 👍
This was a great video, a truly welcome blast from the CC past with a tried and true refinement of gear.
Thanks for sharing your experience and classes.
Flex Tape, not sure about extreme cold but moisture and dust won’t affect it, tricky to cut though🤙🏼
Excellent Corporal. Funny, today I checked one of my day packs to remember what I had in it. The pack is a small old military pack I got from a nun 😮 for real😊. I did not know about this video 😊 take care
Good breakdown of the gear needed for your classes. I appreciate the more realistic approach of a day hike or hunt going wrong, more than the extreme Rambo stuff. Your cup and bottle sets sure go fast. I checked about an hour in. Good for you!
Nice job! This popped up on my feed because I'm all about simple kits for day hikes that go wrong, and I'm enjoying your recent videos. For day hikers, have you thought about trying out some smaller ferro rods? I've had a lot of success with the Bayite keychain ferro rod. Just something to play around with. I've been caring around a poncho ever since I saw your 1st video several years and recently switched to a Syl nylon poncho to shave 1lb off of my kit. Not super bushcrafty but still pretty effective. Keep it up!
Used do some winter mountaineering/back country skiing. Used to duct tape orange paracord to my Bic lighter and wore it around my neck. Kept the lighter warm and was easy to find if dropped in the snow.
Ohhh man!
That poncho sistem looks really interesting.
Im absolutely checking it out. Great find there.
Looking forward to the new projects and adventures. They are gonna be rad.
Thanks for all the effort you put into this videos, its appreciated!
@stephenbarabas6286 can't be worse than what i already have ... lol.
Thanks for the heads up.
I would like to see it in action before i make any decision.
It is a great find nonetheless. Rough around the edges i can work with.
😅 so glad you're still going strong! My wilderness man! Good on you with the classes. Definitely, needed for city folk.
I would guess you could cut the 90mile Tape into 1 inch. I found the same problem with Gorilla Tape while Ice Fishing in MN And anyone ever been in Colder Climents training or real knows that stick on Velcro without reinforced stitching is just as useless. I've used the NSN 90 tape to at -15 no problems, Gorilla tape is a spring summer adventure though I still use it. As for as that pack, I have one the same one I went to OIF with all the other stuff comes with the larger pack its crazy modular you can do anything with those two packs best Pocket knife is a SAK "Huntsman" but I do like the "Ranger"
Very good instructive and informative video. 9 of the 10 C's are shown individually. The eyelet in the awl of the Victorinox Ranger Grip 79 knife can be used for sewing. Thus, a heavy duty sewing needle. The 10th C. Bravo!
Great video, I've said before, it's the little things that matter, like the plastic tent peg, who would think of that, brilliant 👏
how about wrapping the military tape around an old credit card, then you can bring what you need instead of the 2 inch roll
Excellent. Thanks for keeping it simple. Intent, is an excellent word cause most of us pack our fears without intent. Keep em coming, sir!
I've always cut the hundred mile an hour tape in half and wrapped it around lighters, knives, etc.... Not as convenient as a 1" roll of tape but it works.
Very good episode 👍

As a red seal roofer in Canada i can testify that any adhesives and tapes do not adhere when damp, dusty or cold. I try to avoid adhered products in such conditions and use mechanical fastenings or ballast instead. In less than ideal situations keeping the gorilla tape in your jacket will keep it warm until use at least increasing its effectiveness. Using heat sources to dry the substrate after cleaning can help but its usually an uphill struggle. If anyone finds tape that does i'll be amazed however my wife uses alien tape from Costco in the liquor store cooler for the shelf price tags and it sticks when cold. Does pine pitch stick to a damp substrate like a poncho with a hole in it to repair it ?. I dont think there's one product that sticks in all three circumstances, got me thinking though.
I have two of those tarps in my backpack. Plus I have two for my large canvas tarps. They work good. One is a ground cloth and the other a lean too.
Aside from watching my son create a sustainable fire faster than I did, My favorite part of the DirtBound/Strange Raven basic class we did last year was learning basic navigation. That is something I'll forever cherish learning from those fellas.
Great gear video. Thank you sir
the basic moraknive's are amazing for the low cost, they are light weight, sharp and durable. everyone should have a few of them to throw in various packs/ kits. they hardly take up any space or weight and id take one of those over almost any folding pocket knife( which i also have in my pocket:))
20:02 Get a roll of the two inch military tape, and use a hacksaw to cut the roll in half to give two one inch thick rolls, then cut one of those in half to give two half-inch rolls. That'll give more flexibility of width options 👍👍👍👍
The bandanna (by whatever name) can be folded up to be a comfort item as a pillow. That is beside all the other uses Sean has said.
Idk if I've seen it in a 1" roll but I really like t rex tape. Seems to work better than gorilla with dirt and such
I like the bic lighter with the small extended pole that sticks up. Less likely to singe yourself.
Awesome lightweight setup I have to get mine trimmed down closer to about like this
Local gun shop had a supply of sustainment pouches and poncho liners, $10 for the pouch and $20 for the liner which was new so bought a few to outfit my packs. The liners stuff into the pouches easily and being MOLLE attach to my packs on the outside or easily to web gear. I imagine a poncho could go in just fine also.
Great loadout
What about buying the 2" military tape that you want and pulling out 2 or 3 feet, cutting it down the middle to make it 1" and wrapping it around your bic and other suitable items?
Huuuuyyyyyyyyyyyy son exelentes sus videos soy colombiano pero lo q usted explica con las manos las capto lijero también Fuy militar pero ver me haze recordar mis tiempos de contra guerrillero ejército de Colombia
I swear by the wilderness innovations ponchos.
