Matt this is very well done. Thank you for this and all your videos. I have the same condor bag, Stanley cook set and GSI cup and have considered using a stuff sack. Either way, your video reminded me to put a cotton bandana in my kit as a back up water filter. Really like the canteen pouches too! Man you have a great plan there. Great video and thanks again!
So adding the paracord turned the bottle kit into a sling kit, inadequate first aid kit, no compass, tiny little knife and no multi tool, no shelter???
I keep any old pouches I come across, old camera cases, headphone jack pouches, sweet tins, allsorts, a container is a container is a container, and one of my pockets in a kidney pouch just has bags in, old motorcycle helmet liner bags, campset mesh bags and some ziplocks, handy for forages, keeping tinder/kindling dry...
When I first started I packed up a cheap Chinese water bottle holder. I thought I had everything I needed in there. Then I went looking in there for something, and I could never get it all back in the way I had it. I tried, all I did was break the zipper. Great packing job and kit, Matt..
Nice kit! Just bought a maxpedition 10x4 h2o pouch with shoulder strap, pad, and two maxpedition pouches....one for each side. Starting my load out purchases now. Your video gave me some great ideas for my hiking/survival h20 pouch. I especially like the way you utilized the bandana to easily access your cooking set. I will definitely use that idea! There are some changes I would do... like a little more comprehensive FAK, I would lose the whistle for sure! That thing won’t last long (I know, I had one!LOL!) I replaced it with a Couhglans 4 in 1 pealess whistle, compass, magnifying glass and thermometer combo.much better quality and much smaller. Takes up much less room. I also have one attached to my hiking staff. After 3 years, they are working great! Cutting tool, like a SAK Hiker(great saw!), and a few other changes and additions. But your video and kit are awesome, and I look forward to future videos!! Thanks! Great job!
Ok. Now I REALLY WANT A WATER BOTTLE BAG!! Just got my 36l Hannibal Tactical backpack today!! It's huge. I'll probably just use it for camping. I'm a subscriber!!
I have my Stanley and nesting cup in a similar bag and I've been trying to come up with a better way to get it out of the main bottle compartment. Thank you for the bandana trick brother
That's what I figure.... And that's why I watch videos like this.... for these little tips and tricks. Again thank you very much. Look forward to more awesome videos brother
Hi Matt! How are you Sir? I can tell you are evolving and changing not only the gear you carry your kit in, but also the actual contents of the kit. It's a natural progression towards higher end gear that weighs a lot less and serves the same function. The 10 C's and all that. We all go through this evolution. I like what you have in your kit. I like that it weights only 5 or 6 pounds or whatever you said. I liked your pistol belt with the butt pack and the ammo pouches filled with tunafish pouches that contained crackers inside. I am still using mine. It looks so much like yours it would surprise you. I like the suspenders etc. etc. I have ALICE packs and 3 day assault packs if I actually go on an overnighter, but I find for a hike around with my friends and family the pistol belt works best to disperse weight and even the load. The military got it right. I thank you for showing me how to set it up and put an Amazon box inside the butt pouch to make it all ride better on the pistol belt. Thanks Man! I like your videos and learn things from each on I see. keep on trucking Matt-you! Stay away from those alligators unless they are awesome looking Florida Gators cheerleaders. Ha Ha.
Thanks! The belt system is an ever evolving platform and I keep changing it weekly it seems. Lol..I went to school at UF and know what you are talking about...
Just ran across this video. What timing!! I have the same stuff and am setting it up. Great ideas. However I have the Orca Tactical bottle carrier. It has an additional zippered pouch on the bottom the same size as the top. So room for more food!! Burner on bottom and food in rhe Stanley. Oh and by the way. No need for a space blanket in Florida lmao...hahaha
Lol...the space bag is just for the guys who think that you have to have one for emergencies. I will check out the Orca carrier, that is interesting...
An interessting load out , I am struggling a bit how I will hang my bottle holder with pouches because a lttle extra room for stuff to take with me. But your solution and load out brings my ideas hahaha
Mid 70's lol. I won't be seeing anything that high for about nine months. You are right on one thing though. Each kit is different. For example, your kit has way less porn and hooch than mine does. I guess you have to pack for the environment you are in.
Bro that is the funniest thing I have read for a long time...even Mrs. FLBoy liked it...lol. If you look back you will see that I ALWAYS bring a little sippy sippy with me on my trips, even if i don't show it. Maybe I should show it? lol
You always have to bring a little snake bite medicine. Even in the winter my dad would bring a little schnaps in case of snow snakes. You don't need to show it though, too many people on here with zero sense of humor.
Sometimes I carry a small pack. With this one, I can lose the Stanley kit and replace it with a Nalgene bottle. Then I can drop the canteen and have that pouch available for a 5x7 tarp. I will show that one later...
I think a good tourniquet and leather gloves people lack of having people would want to protect their hands you get a scrape burn splinter cut in your hand you will be done. Plus keep your hands somewhat more cleaner, when I'm out with out gloves setting up camp by the time I get done my hands are dirty. Leather gloves help when pulling the hot pot off the fire gathering wood ext. Great kit thank you for sharing I think I will look at my bottle bag closer and maybe I can modify it also maybe there is more space that I've over looked like maybe fit a ground blanket in it they make those smaller and lighter. A fruit plastic bag at the Grocery store they can be folded or rolled up real tiny and take up no room at all.
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival it would be to give a little more room since the Stanley in the cup fits so snug. However, yesterday I was messing with mine and it seems the insulation is attached to the outer cordura, not the inside material. So it would be much more tedious than simply cutting away that inside piece. I’ll stick with the stuff sack and yes, there’s now a handkerchief in my kit! 😉
Revisiting this video a year later how are you still liking it? Have you changed it much or are you still running it that way? That does seem like a lot of weight for a single strap and it looks a tad unwieldy; how does it carry? I have a few different water bottle carrier kits and find them useful but recently I picked up a Hazard 4 Rocket '17 sling bag that I might go with instead.
It is still set up the same way. The wide strap really distributes the weight and it does not feel heavy at all. It really carries well and does not get in the way....
Dude! You Rock! In another vid. you were talking about "Alice" clips... Do you know anything about "Malice" clips??? (Or was I having my leg pulled??) Also, with your burner bag, it looked like you could fit something under it...(more alco pads?) ... or not. The small tool pouches (I think) are actually cell phone cases... (?) i really like the hacks!!!
No sadly that guy went out of business not too long ago. This is the result of careful shopping on Amazon and ebay. Check out the description for the links to what I use. Gettin pretty close to campin weather eh?
FloridaBoy Bushcraft & Survival soon as it cools jane green campsite here i come. I have the same condor bottle bag i got at the army navy store fits my pathfinder bottle and nesting cuos great front pouch holds my spoon fork altoid fire kit . Bag is molle'd to a sog backoack i picked up from ross for 20$ (got two that day) backpack bears coffee making setup with seagull msr cook pot fishing kit hammock loadout raingear from army navy gloves and the rest of the ten c's . Walked in from crabgrass bridge last year made a beautiful hike and tested the pack
Stuart there is only one size GSI cup and it is 16 oz or 2 cups when filled almost to the top. Walmart sells a stainless steel Chinese knockoff of the GSI cup for $5.00. It will nest under the Stanley or the pathfinder water bottle.
Wow! What are you gonna put on your long johns when it get below 50??? LOL! Nicely done on the video as per usual. I think there's some room for a Spam single or two in there yet. I believe that those 5-1 whistles are one of the cheapest insurance policy you can take out in the woos with you. Mega woods walker did a video on them a week or so ago. I asked him to field test it and to see if you could actually start a fire with ferro rod that's on it. It took him a bit, but it can be done. I'm going to have to look at getting myself one of the pouches now to go along with the stove ya talked me into. I;m gonna have both billed to you!! LOL!
Thanks, it may be time for my wool blanket...lol. I like that whistle, I have had it for a long time. Always check in the video description for Amazon links to buy the specific products that I use. And yes there is plenty of room for a couple of SPAM singles and maybe a block of cheese...lol
Another great video bro👍 I know 13 minutes is a lot to ask of someone but if you get a moment look at my most recent upload and let me know if you want to be part of it👍 free of charge😲 LOL
FloridaBoy Bushcraft & Survival I totally understand bro, that people get busy, and when you get a really big Community going,.. like you have,... it's got to be nearly impossible, there's not enough minutes in the day to watch all the content your subscribers make. And I usually don't ask people to come watch my videos but this particular video is for you in a way👍 or at least I should say I hope it's for you LOL
PLEASE LIKE, COMMENT & SUBSCRIBE BELOW. I answer all comments...
I'll testify to that, 2yrs on and still answering :-)
Oh my, better get out your winter jacket. LOL That's what we call shorts and T-shirt weather here. LOL
LOL, like I said don't laugh...after all I am in the south
If it's a few degree's above freezing I still ride my motorcycle !

Glad it was helpful!
Nice kit! Those water bottle bags are a great foundation for hiking/survival kits.
Thanks. I was really surprised how much I could comfortably fit in there. Plus the wide strap is great...
I wish I was talented enough to do a weave like that and make my own shoulder strap, @@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival
So adding the paracord turned the bottle kit into a sling kit, inadequate first aid kit, no compass, tiny little knife and no multi tool, no shelter???
You got it. Bet yours is much better than mine...
Great setup......great ideas
Thanks! This is a great hiking kit
Thanks for sharing I’m planning my very first trail/hike soon. This gives me idea what to carry. Happy trails.
No problems. I hope your first hike goes smoothly...
Would bet those are old flip phone cases. I had one that looked just like that.
Maybe so. I looked all over and I can't find them...

Holy cow, that is REAL close to what I have. I stand corrected sir...lol
FloridaBoy Survival Nite Ize has cell phone cases just like these. I get them from Tractor Supply on sale. Just got some for edc fak/altoids kits.
I keep any old pouches I come across, old camera cases, headphone jack pouches, sweet tins, allsorts, a container is a container is a container, and one of my pockets in a kidney pouch just has bags in, old motorcycle helmet liner bags, campset mesh bags and some ziplocks, handy for forages, keeping tinder/kindling dry...
Hey I like the scrubby in the cup idea to snug up the Stanley cook pot. Nice kit thanks for sharing. - Marco
Try it, it works great. Really holds it in there.
When I first started I packed up a cheap Chinese water bottle holder. I thought I had everything I needed in there. Then I went looking in there for something, and I could never get it all back in the way I had it. I tried, all I did was break the zipper. Great packing job and kit, Matt..
Lol, sometimes it is tough to get it all back in there....

Ok. Now I REALLY WANT A WATER BOTTLE BAG!! Just got my 36l Hannibal Tactical backpack today!! It's huge. I'll probably just use it for camping. I'm a subscriber!!
Thanks! These water bottle bags are great. There is one called the Oasis (I think) and it has an additional compartment on the bottom...
I have my Stanley and nesting cup in a similar bag and I've been trying to come up with a better way to get it out of the main bottle compartment. Thank you for the bandana trick brother
It is probably the easiest, cheapest way and it just slides in and out...
That's what I figure.... And that's why I watch videos like this.... for these little tips and tricks. Again thank you very much. Look forward to more awesome videos brother
I'm working on putting together My H2O pouch survival pouch so thank you for some ideas
Awesome! The condor water pouch is a great base for a kit like this...
Hand sanitiser makes a good fire gel in damper weather alongside its regular uses.
It does, I have used it for that a few times...
neat way to organize this kit
Thanks. I have since changed it though, you can arrange this one a few different ways
Nice. Those small pouches in front look like old style flip phone cases.
Thats what i thought also but i can't find them listed anywhere....

wow!! I like it thx for the ideas....
No problems. This is one of my favorite light kits...
Didn't know about the Sawyer mini. Thanks! I'm ordering one now. Now more iodine tabs.
The Sawyer Mini is great, you can get it at Wal Mart or click on the link in my description
Excellent loadout.
Like you say,your kit is different than mine.
I would include lightstick,flashlight and headlamp.
But I am afraid of the dark.
Lol, so am I. This is an ever evolving kit, stay tuned for the updates...
Sweet kit! Lots of good stuff
Thanks. I was surprised at how much stuff I could get in there...
FloridaBoy Bushcraft & Survival yeah man, I’ve been looking at one myself, this may have me sold.
How do you like that strap that I made up? Check out my Amazon link in the description to get one....
FloridaBoy Bushcraft & Survival looks really good man, looks solid!
Just ran across this video. What timing!! I have the same stuff and am setting it up. Great ideas. However I have the Orca Tactical bottle carrier.

Shoot forgot to mention. I also have a G4free sling bag I jusr received also. I always have a lot of timing in my life. It continues on...
Lol...the space bag is just for the guys who think that you have to have one for emergencies. I will check out the Orca carrier, that is interesting...
An interessting load out , I am struggling a bit how I will hang my bottle holder with pouches because a lttle extra room for stuff to take with me. But your solution and load out brings my ideas hahaha
Awesome. The Condor will work with either ALICE or MOLLE pouches and the canteen pouches really work well.
Nice loadout, Matt. That kit is like a clown car - stuff just kept coming out of it. Well done!
Thanks. I can't believe how much stuff I got in this kit!!!
Wait a minute..... WHAT WAS THAT RED BALLOON?!?!?! NOOOoooOOOoooOOO! :)
Matt, that's a well planned out kit! Keep these types of videos coming, very nice! ✔ ✔ ✔
Thanks. I have an alternate loadout on this kit coming also...
Good job keep it up my friend
Thanks my friend! This is a great kit...
Nice load out my friend.
Thanks man. I like your channel also
Nice
Thanks!
Toilet paper is always always handy, the hand sanitizer also use as fire starter, pill bottles are water proof and you can put lots of stuff in those
All very true...that is why they are in the kit

Very nice.
Seems well thought out. Do you carry another kit for shelter?
Thanks for the video
Sometimes I carry a small pack. With this one, I can lose the Stanley kit and replace it with a Nalgene bottle. Then I can drop the canteen and have that pouch available for a 5x7 tarp. I will show that one later...
Loads of good tips bro!
Thanks. I never do loadouts but a few people have been asking to see what i take so here it is...lol
I think a good tourniquet and leather gloves people lack of having people would want to protect their hands you get a scrape burn splinter cut in your hand you will be done. Plus keep your hands somewhat more cleaner, when I'm out with out gloves setting up camp by the time I get done my hands are dirty.

I agree.
Matt I’m wondering if you or anyone you know has thought about removing the insulation from the inside of the water bottle compartment.
I have not, not sure what that would accomplish...
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival it would be to give a little more room since the Stanley in the cup fits so snug.

Do you have a video of the paracord sling? Been looking for one making a small water kit myself
I do not. It took me about 5 hours to do it though...search for double king cobra weave

Did u get all of this from the army navy store on 520? Nice kit sir !

you must be wonderful with children - smashed liked button.
Thanks!
👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Temperature in the 50s, so beach wether?
Lol...it was back then but heat index is well over 100 now...
Those 2 pouches look like the old Nokia flip phone cases from back in the day.
I think they are, I was stumped for a while and didn't know what they were...
OK??? OK OK???? OK OK??? OK
Ok I will try to cut down on those ok?
They look my old cell phone pouches.
That is what I think also...
front pouches are for cell phones old flip phone style from early 2000s
Yep those are the old 80's style pouches...they really work well though
@@FloridaBoyBushcraftSurvival they do work well for alot of things
Will the Condor H20 pouch hold a 33oz Camelbak bottle?
I am not sure but if it is similar to the Nalgene it will...
what size is the gsi cup? small or large?
I did not know that there were separate sizes, but it appears to be the small one...
ok thank you. GREAT video!
Stuart there is only one size GSI cup and it is 16 oz or 2 cups when filled almost to the top. Walmart sells a stainless steel Chinese knockoff of the GSI cup for $5.00. It will nest under the Stanley or the pathfinder water bottle.
The cup is found in the camping section of Walmart if you are interested.
Wow! What are you gonna put on your long johns when it get below 50??? LOL! Nicely done on the video as per usual. I think there's some room for a Spam single or two in there yet.

Will you be doing any giveaways anytime soon? XD
I was thinking about doing a 3000 sub giveaway soon
You said was correct? does that mean you'll do something else instead?
