I would add a three way charging cord with your battery. Also, a space blanket or bivy bag, as a minimal redundancy, if you choose to go with wife or children. I didn’t see any firewood processing tools. Or a tarp. Add some bags of nuts, candies, jerky or a jar of peanut butter. Some meds for cold, cough, pain, maybe heartburn. Some flavor packets for water, adds calories and encouraging you to drink more. Maybe some 5 hour energy shots for the final push. And lastly, I would get rid of the cut off spoon, and get a folding handle spoon from MSR or Sea to Summit. And make similar packs for your family or passengers.
After a trip to the woods with my son in which we both struggled to get a fire burning because several days of heavy rain had everything soaked, we both started making sure that we have at least one road flare in our packs. You just light it, pile a bunch of wood on it and, 🔥
The reason there is a thermometer with your compass is the delineation error ratio increases the lower the temperature gets...................made you think. 🤗 The side opening on your main pack is a very good idea. I will try and incorporate it into the pack I want to make.😉
It's colder where I live so I carry a few lifeboat water bags along with my grayl filter. If the water bags freeze the bags don't split and can be thawed. I also freeze them and use them as cold packs in my lunch cooler in the summer I can either drink them or refreeze them . The mesh bag in your stanley can also be used as a trap for crayfish by adding a frame of sticks I just twist the stick into a coil. Speaking of the stanley instead of a key ring for the lid I find an s hook twisted 45 degrees attached pinched closed to the lid with the other end open it is easier to remove the lid while hot with stick or spoon and with the handle folded the hooked end can be hung on a cord , or chain .
Fantastic loadout, my friend! Things to keep you warm without a fire or in addition to a fire (ie: clothing, sleep gear, etc) is definitely the most important thing during this time of the year. This was a great reminder that I need to put a few more items into my car kit.
I have a simple winter shtf equipment, uk military sleeping bag , a winter snow suit if I have to walk around , a multitool shovel , fire kits, waterproof socks, and thermal clothing and coat , use two tarps one dark green came tarp and a tarp with thermal lining silver reflective , and phone with charger , few ration packs and a flask, and toiletries soap ect..
I spend a lot of time outdoors and invest my money in gear that lasts a long long time. I didn’t buy all of this gear at one time. This is the result of years of field testing.
Great revision of your pack, what's required & neccessities with what you can do without. All good & quite minimalist. Next vid could you do a run down on your beast? That cool truck of yours. Cheers mate & Happy thanksgiving to you & family. Stay safe cobber. Warm greetings from Australia.
I have a very similar stove setup, a Trangia which I place inside a folding twig burner. The advantage being you can burn bits of deadfall in it also. Using a tarp in winter - I use the British Army Shelter Sheet which is around 10 x 9 ft - you can warm yourself up and cook under your shelter with a twig stove no problem unlike in a tent where this is unadvisable. Got to have a goretex bivvy bag too all year round here in the UK, again mine is British Army surplus. In spring / summer I take a Dutch Army poncho instead of the tarp.
20 degrees! We have hardly had it get that warm here since September! Winter hit a little early this year and just hasn't let up much, although we have not had sub zero temps for a couple of weeks now, my old bones aren't getting outside much right now. Good time to redo my packs. Good video, thanks.
I too carry a grayl...and absolutely love it.... but one thing I started doing out of precaution is carrying a back up sawyer water filter brand new... just in case... its small enough where it doesn't take up room of any thing else and find it to be very helpful in a situation where you or someone else might need it...
That was a nice looking pack but at over 600 dollars I'm going to have to stick with my USMC ILBE. I would also like to say I definitely enjoyed the video. Noticed your BIC lighter you need to remove the child safety guard it'll make striking it easier and if it got wet you'd be able to dry it quicker. I would also but either a small zip tie or twist tie around where the plunger is so that is doesn't accidently discharge.
Good call. I don’t blame you for not spending the high dollars. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. It is super comfy and If this pack lasts the next 10+ years, it would be a good investment.
My pack is also the ILBE. I've had and used many different packs over the years. I'm a disabled Marine veteran and have very sensitive neck, back, and shoulders to packs and weight. I've always come back to my trusty ILBE. The only pack I can haul any amount of weight comfortably. I modified and lightened mine by leaving off the top cover and cutting off all the extra Molle webbing I don't have a need for.
I find that my down sleeping bag takes up the most room in my pack and I can see that yours would as well if you stuffed it in the top loose roll down section.
Great kit! You probably have it but I didn’t hear you mention water, a full bottle or bladder to get you to a water source. Maybe it’s not an issue in the East where water is more abundant but in the mountain west it can be many miles between water sources.
I've popped many of holes into my sleep pads and as long as you try and clean the area good normally gorilla tape will absolutely almost permanently stop any and all air from escaping out!!!!!
Aww!!!❤️love Maggie poo lol🥰and yet again another video of your ideology love it. Ugh I need to get to sleep so I can roll rest of the way to Burlington Vermont yet again sigh 😳😴
Beautiful pack, but even if I won the lottery I cannot justify spending 650$ on a backpack. I do wanna know what brand first aid kit was that in your pack? I love the small folding pouch design over the larger traditional IFAK bag/pouch.
I love the truck. Looks good and seems highly functional and I love the thought that went into it. 2 questions: What do you think you have invested in material cost and would you recommend this project to others that are handy, but not mechanics?
I probably have about 15k invested in it with a ton of labor. I have learned so much! Would I recommend a project like this? That’s a tough one. Huge investment in time but this really feels like MY truck. I know it better than anyone and I am confident I will be driving it for a long time.
I found a wisperlite stove at a thrift store and it looks barley used and it came with all the parts. Do you thinks that is a great stove to use. I also bought a wood burning stove off Amazon. I aslo bought a lot of fire starter cubes from dollar tree stores and also from a thrift store I bought a mirro pot set it came with pots and pot grabber and Sawyer mini water filter. I go shopping at thrift stores oh an I also found emergency blankets. Anything else that I should get? You can also use contractor bags to put your items in so they won't get wet also keep plastic bags that you get from grocery stores it will help you carry items from one place to another.
Nice backpack love it! I use the Karrimor SF Sabre 45 with the side pockets PLCE adds 25L for a total of 70L. It what I have and Modular. But not a light system. Love your work thank you. I am not Perfect either As I needed the Sabre 60-100 To fit my Defense 4 + Tropen sleeping bags Synthetic. Live and learn 🤷 Check out the Savotta FDF Sleeping Pad I love it but I still sleep on an army cot or Hammock at home 60+ and still going, just slower 🙄😏 and what's my name 🙄😏😂😆😂😆 a lot of senior moments 😁

Get a couple of "hand warmers". Can put them in the bottom of your sleeping bag for for those who get cold feet at night. 🙋
Hey Jason! Glad to see you back on SD! Rob
After a trip to the woods with my son in which we both struggled to get a fire burning because several days of heavy rain had everything soaked, we both started making sure that we have at least one road flare in our packs. You just light it, pile a bunch of wood on it and, 🔥
Very good 👍🏻 That was like Mary Poppins loadout
Like the truck bed
👍💯🔥 you forgot the chainsaw, sledgehammer, and hydraulic log splitter....pocket items.
I keep those in my tactical wagon.
Don't forget your pair of backup .22s in your shoes.
Best winter pack transition video.

Not much use on that little compass without an adjustable bezel. Good thinking though.

You’ve motivated me to prepare my winter bag. Thanks. Good info.
Great stuff and good points to also have gear staged in your vehicle!
Small folding saw and some bees wax candles.
There is a Silky Big boy in one of the side pockets. Completely forgot to mention it. Good call on the candles as well!
Suggestion: add one wool blanket to augment sleep system or option for cool/not cold weather. Thank you, sir, nicely done.
Well done Jason.
thank you for the video and the camera person capturing the critters
Small fortune.... That's insane
I spend a lot of time outdoors and invest my money in gear that lasts a long long time. I didn’t buy all of this gear at one time. This is the result of years of field testing.
DUDE, silicone spray on backpack couldn't be more OVERSTATED such an epic idea!!!✌️💚✊️🔥

Thanks! The truck loadout video is on the list.
Awesome truck. That’s a great idea. I would love to see that video
Nice setup
Nice pack and contents. My large pack is a Kelly Redwing, I have packs of different sizes, sometimes I use my Alice pack. I’m a old dude.
I have a very similar stove setup, a Trangia which I place inside a folding twig burner. The advantage being you can burn bits of deadfall in it also.

Bud,excellent video. I've picked up some good tips and reminders. You've got it together very well, keep up the good videos. 👍
Thanks so much for watching!!

I use a Osprey Volt 60 for my inch bag with a Hill People Gear Kit bag chest rig. Love the rig. One of my favorite pieces of kit.
Great video, information and perspective.
Thanks for watching!!
Great concept, great gear, but I'm in MN so maybe need to double the warmth haha
Yeah! I would imagine so. Thanks for watching!
Walmart has a folding silverware/ knife/ can & bottle opener in a jack knife form. I have ha good luck with it and it should fit in your stanley kit

This is a reminder, that it is time!
Haven't seen anything on SD for awhile either. How U?
@@robertbates6057 I’m great! We’ve started making content again so check back!
@@TJackSurvival Good! I'm watchin.
Emergency signal flares or flare gun is a great tool to have in any pack 👍
That was a nice looking pack but at over 600 dollars I'm going to have to stick with my USMC ILBE. I would also like to say I definitely enjoyed the video.

You don’t have to use that bag

Hey you can get a mini 6 in one charger for your phone and will fit other phones which would minimise room and be handy hope this helps and God bless
Maybe a warm stocking hat or bennie what ever u want to call them. And a face mask. Just in case
Saw, hatchet, (extra)or bigger fixedbkade knife because I know you probably carry one on you. And a couple more mags
There is actually a Silky saw in the pack. Just forgot to mention it. Extra ammo may be included as well. Thanks!!
I find that my down sleeping bag takes up the most room in my pack and I can see that yours would as well if you stuffed it in the top loose roll down section.
Great kit! You probably have it but I didn’t hear you mention water, a full bottle or bladder to get you to a water source. Maybe it’s not an issue in the East where water is more abundant but in the mountain west it can be many miles between water sources.
Yep! We have water everywhere! But the grayl is a 24 ounce water bottle and there is another 32 ounce bottle in my truck.
A trunk tour would be cool. I see you got a toolbox bed instead of standard bed.
It is on my to do list for sure. Thanks for watching!!
I've popped many of holes into my sleep pads and as long as you try and clean the area good normally gorilla tape will absolutely almost permanently stop any and all air from escaping out!!!!!

Great video. You showed me some things I have to ad to my survival bag. Thanks alot. Very good!!!!
Thanks for watching!
I like “Stop Bleed” better😂
Hey man have you done a review on the 5.11 72 pack for winter? If not I would love to see one. If so would love to see that too!

Great load out. How do you signal for assistance if needed? Sat phone?
so the grail can be used without the filter in the bottle?
What would "winter" be for you temperature wise. We get down to the negatives F here.
@Lady Direska ... It gets down to 0F in the Blueridge Mountains in North GA occasionally but it doesn't last very long.
I started carrying a usb rechargeable lighter just incase (also have bic lighters and ferro rod in different areas of house/cars/bags)
What’s Jason packing today huh?
You never can tell!
Whats the silicone spray you mentioned for? Waterproofing the bag?
Yes
Rain gear? Or is it the poncho thx
Yep! I like a poncho. I will wear rain pants and jacket depending on the situation.
show us your white truck.
winter is upon us? some of us live up north where its been winter since september. pfffft
20 is not cold. Minus 20 is cold.
