I really like this kit! I am becoming more minimalist, for two reasons.1 focus more on the enjoyment of the outdoors and not the weight of the pack and fooling with gear, most of what is not needed. 2 I’m older with lots of mileage, my large pack carrying days are over. This system makes it so much enjoyable! Thanks, got you subbed
I'm the same way. Unless I'm going out for multiple days, I'm going lightweight with minimal gear. It's just more enjoyable. Thanks for the comment and sub!
An above average video for sure. You certainly got some interesting comments here lol. The 5 and 10C's are a solid starting point to any kit and ready for adaptation. Nice work brother!
Maybe not for others but the value of this video and this subject for me is the possibility of a sweet simple life free from worry and responsibility. I know full well that bedding down in the weeds will get you fleas, ticks and chiggers! But there is an old part of my brain that “remembers” being able to live this way. It scratches an itch for me and I think for a lot of other people. Anyway, thanks for going to the trouble of making the video and posting it!
You were recommended to me... first video of yours I have seen. Taking Dave's classes is definitely a great idea! He definitely has developed a system that works for his teaching! No doubt a hall of famer! But he also gets his info from others... Ridgeline for example.. looking forward to watching more videos! Everything was correct as far as I'm concerned... but I'm not a yt video guy either! Haha! Keep up the great hard work! Dave has a ton of knowledge! Absorb all you can my friend!
Great option for when you don’t want to carry a pack. I appreciate the shemag for the potential to act as a mosquito net, protecting head and neck, especially if you need to sleep. Might as well wrap some duct tape around something, and include a little compass.
I can appreciate the fact that you have such a low level of weight. Yet, I don’t fully believe in the gear not falling out if your running. I get how it is looped over then re looped after tying it around your waist, but I’ve had times where I have done that with other items with bandanas and other variations of 100% cotton and I’ve felt it loosen and I did (thankfully) see a item fall out of the twisted up cloth I had it in. Maybe it’s because I didn’t tie if like you did. I just don’t trust it. I’d rather use a usgi surplus waist pack to hold it all. I’d rather waist like.. .50-.75 of a pound to carry something without worry anything will fall out.
Nice Outrider, I've got a Hercules 👍 The big SAK's don't get enough love ! Bank line is much better value than Paracord, but unfortunately very hard to buy outside North America 🫤
The gryll has become a huge game changer for an individual. It doesn't work the most efficiently for a group setting tho. Thanks for sharing, im going ro watch a few more of your videos.
I see a major flaw in this, you have to dismantle your bundle every time you need a drink of water, which means you have to stop or go with out water which is not healthy. Actually you don’t have enough water carrying capacity anyhow. I see no advantage with this over a small day pack or haversack of some kind.
Honestly, it's not that big of a deal to stop to get a drink of water. I trip over water here in Florida, so carrying something like the Grayl is fine. I agree that a day pack is overall better for most people. This is a minimal, lightweight kit option.
I don't agree with the 5 C's, let alone the 10 C's, of survivability as presented by Dave Canterbury. I think 'Coordination' in the terrain is a lot more important so you don't get lost in the first place. Something like a compass as a minimum for instance. Next is 'Communication' in case you do get lost and that can be as simple as a loud whistle. You added one but it's not even in the 10 C's. 'Care' is another one and that means from a booboo kit to taking some (prescription) medication and maybe even some sweets to give you a sugar boost. Btw. A lightweight daypack is still also a container because it contains all your stuff. 'Cover' can also mean just a rain jacket or poncho. So I sure don't agree with the 5 C's by Dave Canterbury.
The 5 and 10 C's are categories, not specific items. You can add to the categories if you want. Meaning that things like your clothing are considered cover and you pack is a container. Moreover, a compass is one the 10 C's. Thanks for the comment.
@@theaveragewoodsman6002 Some are categories (numbers 1 to 4 and 10 on the list), some are not (numbers 5 to 9 on the list). Or can you tell me what 'category' Cordage, Cotton bandanas, Cargo tape, Compass, Cloth sail needle are? So out of the 10 C's 5 are categories and 5 are not but rather specific 'items' instead. Still categories missing are 'Communication, Care, Coordination (in the field) (besides the compass), Construction' (including repair) to name a few but probably the most important category missing is 'Common sense'. I like to go out in nature (including jungle) in countries like Colombia and Thailand for instance but a 'Cotton cloth needle' is gonna save my life? Where are the stories that somebody saved their life because they had a 'cotton cloth needle'? I never heard of a story like that and I'm a survival instructor since 1986.
Dave Canterbury is one of the best instructor's in the world. He teaches a lot more about bushcraft and survival than just the 10 C's. Every one of the things you have mentioned in your comment, Dave has a video on it. Weather you agree or not matters not
@@JO-rk5gu I like Dave Canterbury and he does a lot for the mostly American public. He's good but I would not go as far as one of the best in the world. From what I've seen the courses are way to much primitive living skills what I would call LARP and not practical survival. But to each their own of course. I'm all about pratical survival wherever you are. I've been working with people in Colombia, South America and Thailand, Asia for instance. Had the owner of a big survival school in Argentina visit me and nobody brings a Cotton/Canvas cloth needle as part of their 10 C's. I never do. I have a needle in my first aid kit and my survival tin but it sure is not part of my 10 C's. But a first aid kit (Care) is not even mentioned in the 10 C's and I do bring that.

Really great kit, man! 👍✌️ New sub! Look forward to watching more of your content.
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this informative video. Another fine job, well done. 😊
Thank you!

Very good video, covers all the essential items .
Thanks!
Great light weight survival kit, good job, great video👍
Thanks!

Exactly, you can always add to the kit.
Informative and beneficial video
Thanks.
Nice carry for a walk about. Great video thank you 😊
I appreciate it!

A waist pack would definitely be more secure. This setup is more about weight and simplicity, and I've never personally had anything fall out of it.
Your shamagh kit wrap is straight out of how the old hobos use to do it...just add a stick. 😉
Thanks for Sharing.
just a thought... reduce the spool. A dowel works wonders or hank the cordage into manageable lengths
Nice Outrider, I've got a Hercules 👍
The big SAK's don't get enough love !
Bank line is much better value than Paracord, but unfortunately very hard to buy outside North America 🫤
They really don't. It's always the smaller EDC size SAK's that people talk about, but I prefer the larger ones.
Very good.
Nice kit
Thanks!
@@theaveragewoodsman6002 you are most welcome!!
Which size pot is that?
30oz
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will that cup fit the original Grayl?
It fits the 24oz Grayl.
