Ever tried savotta?
@@backpackingireland8624 yes
@@backpackingireland8624 yes, 48
That's $2000USD kit, easy...........nothing cheap these days folks.....quality gear and thanks for sharing
It all started with a flint, water bottle and a cheap knife from grandpa's shed.
15 years of bush-whacking led me here..
Have you ever tried a bullpac frame with a yeti bucket strapped to it? Youll never have to make a chair again@@bushcraftfrog
Where is your emergency medical kit? If you had an accident, you would be in serious trouble.
Backpacking Tip:
For maximum stability, load your backpack so the heaviest equipment is next to your back and centered in the pack. Medium-weight gear should be carried toward the top and outside portion of the pack and lightweight gear, like your sleeping bag, should be packed in the bottom.
👏🏽Thank you!!! I was just going to write the very same thing.
@@TBland-ir8kl me too 😂🎉
Yeah, agreed. Thought that was backpacking 101!
yea i cant really take this guys word after he said how he packs his kit
@@minnil7927 hard to tell. All his gear looks brand new or unused lol
That makeshift leather seat cover is genius. Also the woodsman apron is something I never thought of & will add to my list as well as that lid grabbing tool! Great kit.
The "woodsman's apron can be used as a sit pad in case you do not have the chair.
You can use it to kindle fire as you are starting it with some raw materials to shield it from the wind.
Besides being used as an actual apron to prevent you cutting your pants or yourself (speaking from experience)..
You could use it to strop a blade, wrap a blade in it if you lose a sheath. You name it, plenty of uses for a good sturdy piece of leather.
@@bushcraftfrog A wind shield too.. 🔥I am trying to score myself some, is there any dimensions you would recommend, also thickness?
@@Oneiromaniac Well I'll take a look at mine and send some measurements. I used my grandfathers old chair as a blueprint, only that his was bolted directly into the wooden legs. So I opted for this more collapsible version.
As for the thickness I'd recommend something a bit thicker then what I used (will measure later) since I had to double up the layers and reinforce it since it would stretch otherwise. But this is all I had at hand so I made the best with what I had.
The mod with the apron is to rig it with cord so it can be used to carry branches. ❤
Wow. Very comprehensive loadout and some items are very expensive from what I can tell but buy it once and usually, you are done.
That is not how I started out.
As I ventured into lightweight and ultralight backpacking, some of that gear found its way into my locker. Since I have it, why not use it..
So that is why my bushcraft/camping pack is a hybrid of ultralight backpacking and heavy duty bushcraft gear.
But generally for bushcrafting purposes only, the gear does not have to be all that expensive.
But over time, you do appreciate a better quality item for sure..
Slick kit and great system
keeping a small medicine jar filled with cotton balls coated with petroleum jelly make addition to fire starting
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing your gear loadout. It looks like you're ser for just about anything. Stay safe out there. 🤗 👋
Do ya go outdoors-ing in NC? Got some recommendations?
Nice video man. Hoping to see your channel grow quickly!
Appreciate the support! This video was actually done for a friend of mine, was supposed to be as "unlisted" so that only people with the link can see...
By mistake, I made it public, but it turned out to be an extreme success for me..
So a sequel covering some lightweight backpacking sure is to come.
Felicitaciones !! Excelente revisión y elección en tu equipo !!

The reoccurring problem I see with every Bushcraft kit. How do you plan on REPLENISHING you food supply on a regular basis
I have that same pack and in a similar configuration. I love it. Even though it's on the heavy side, it carries well and is quite durable. Thanks for sharing your kit load out with us. Lots of good gear there.
Yea, the pack is great for these purposes but as you mentioned, a bit on the pricey - heavy side.
I will cover the lightweight backpacking gear I use as well at some point.
What is it called?
@@Laura.4 Fjallraven Singi 48
Interesting kit! One info for you. The Bacoh Laplander ranked among the worst foldable saws. One of the best is the affordable Samurai Ichiban 330.
I have aquestion for you. What's the bag you're using with your sawyer? That doesn't seem to be a CNOC.
Nice kit. Thanks for sharing. Subbed.
Wow, I don't want to be that guy but I only need less then half of what he said you need. I dont know what the glamping version of survival is but glamival comes to mind.
Far from that this is all " necessary " , you can make it work with way less than this. Just that this is my personal pack I like to carry over the years.
I will cover a much simplified version overtime.
Pozz nemanja,koliko dugo imas signi 48 i koliko si zadovoljan kvalitetom? Sta mislis o tom sto cijelu tezinu drzi jedan ziper na dnu jer nema pregrade za donji dio?
Singi imam oko pola godine mozda.
Kvalitetom sam prilicno zadovoljan, doduse overpriced kao i sve od ovog brenda. Ali kvalitet ne razocarava.
Zipper je vise nego dovoljno jak, i ceo taj donji deo je prilicno ojacan. Tako da ne verujem da bi bilo problem.
Well done mate! Your gear choices and where you’re carrying things can only be gotten through time in the bush. Cheers!
My dad use to always emphasize the importance of time in the bush...he said his time in the bush is the only reason for my existence...
Rolling laughing @@primalway1317
Very nice setup. That seems like the type of gear that will last a lifetime. I used my boyscout backpack for over 30years. I got a different pack but friends that didn’t have gear would use it. Things were built different in the 80s . I lost it during a move also lost all my boyscout stuff. It was heart wrenching .
I love this gear type over the ultra light stuff.
Every time I hear a story about a lost hiker they always don’t have the proper safety gear. But you also need to find the place where you have just enough.
I like to say I hike to camp I don’t camp because I hike. So I carry what I want to be comfortable. Where many hikers want to be comfortable hiking so they will suffer camping. If you understand what I mean. I’m not a got writer.
Anyway very good video great set of gear.
It really depends on what the person is going for.
At the end of the day, both of those paths come down to the following: "It's about the journey, not the destination."
Now that can mean that you are into the part where you camp and chill in the forest while soaking in the sounds, smells and solitude, and for some it may be the part where you hike.
For me it is both, depending on the location, and the time of the year.
Sometimes I want to go ultralight and cover as much ground as possible, so I can see more beautiful landscapes. And sometimes it's about getting a decent and large camp near a beautiful stream in a nice pine forest where I will enjoy the silence.
I'm sitting here shaking my head at all the weekend warriors critising your gear, and then i did it, omg bloody comments section.
Do i do it? Do i criticise? You
bet i do.
What the f is that sleeping bag, are you traking across nepal or Antarctica. Quilts for life mate.
Listing your items helps.
Hi, great gear you have. I bought one titanium jug, thinking it would be the ultimate cooking gear to carry, but later I read that this material isn't good for that, as it leads heat in an uneven way, so it's just good for boiling water and nothing else. Has anyone tried to fry on titanium, or cook rice, or something? Was good? Thanx
You need to slow down your talking, when you talk that fast, I have trouble following what your saying. It's ok to take a breath man. Nice setup. Stay safe
Ah man this is perfect, cut the crap. Just useful information! You had me laughing several times, amazing video!
Nice! Just found your channel and subbed, I'm in the US and I live in Indiana. very cool kit and I really like the DIY stuff, great video.
where did you buy those strap locks? and what are their names?
I really wish when showing off a pack they would show it with it on their backs so we can see how it rides, and get a general idea of its size.
Good point. Will keep that in mind for the future.
What backpack is that?
Fjallraven Singi.
If you want to use down, source it yourself, just to see the pain the birds go through....
Your gear looks very clean! It seems like it's either new or you don't use it.
All good gear, EXCEPT the cooking pot. Those pots, imo, are absolutely useless for even and practical and frustration-free cooking. Very thin metal that needs to be baby-watched and operated at the lowest heat so your food doesn't burn. The camping / outdoors world is chokers full of these garbage products. Get yourself a solid cast steel pan with a folding handle guys...yes heavier but worth every friggin cent, a joy to cook with in comparison
Really depends on the purpose though. If you plan on hauling your pack, I'd always rather stick with titanium.
Also, it is not flimsy at all. Thin yes, but I use it on an open fire all the time, and titanium is so durable you can sit on it.
You don’t share any information about product names
Hey, nice video, coud you imagine a second that a French guy viewed your video? 😅
That's the first time, after seen many many video, that iI find such a premium upset of bushcraft set!
Can you tell me what is the brandname of your oil jacket, she look cool and I'm ready to look where I can buying her...
By the way you made me laught when you say that's you will not explain us what is an axe! 😂
Thanks mate!
Could you imagine that I could not imagine that this video would be viewed as many times as it was?
This was supposed to be a private video for a few of my buddies that I accidentally put up as public haha
And could you Imagine that you were watching some random Serbian guy (Balkans, south-east Europe)
As for the gear I've been in this for like 15+ years..
And this is a result of it, mixed with backpacking since I do a lot of that with my wife, the gear and loadout is tailored very much to my person. Some things could be taken out, some do not have to, some call it camping gear, I do not care :) I am getting old together with my back to go and work my ass off in the woods, I try to make it as comfy as possible and eliminate as many tedious tasks as possible.. Especially when breaking down camp and relocating which I do a lot.
The Jacket is Fjallraven, it was a pretty cheap second hand jacket I got in a shop for like 10-15$
But it was not oiled or nothing, I did all that myself. Beeswax and oil mix together with some hairdryer to sink it in. Works like a charm just has to be re applied after long trips in the rain.
Cheers and stay out there. Nature is the way.
@@bushcraftfrogThat's... What I call an answer! Thanks!
Where did you get the knife sheath for the Victorinox?
What type of bivy sack are you using?
All that shit looks brand new, do you use this stuff?
Why not put links to everything?
👍 set and tools
Nice video man. Well not everyone use fallkniven. Ray Mears used it, so all went to buy it. Monkeys mimic logic. Perhaps Its good if you want to sharpen your mora knife ( I dont think so ) but not your axe. Its too small. Thats the problem. Its portable yes, but when I sharpen my tools, I need a much larger sharpening surface. A file could be handy. Perhaps your huntsman swiss army knife have that...
I used a BAHCO that looks nearly the same as the Mora for nearly 10 years. Still have that one and use it around the house but it has seen a fare share of use. So I picked this mora for 20$ at a local store and am equally happy with it. Honestly, the grip is about the same, maybe just a tad better and the blade is slightly thicker.
But pretty much it will do the same job.
When going for a small trip, under a week, I do not bother heaving my ax sharpener. When I plan on going longer, I will bring a diy bucksaw and my ax sharpening stone.
At home I have a large japanese stone for maintaining my blades. But in the field, DC4 is just about enough for the knives.
Tell us what brand pack
Excellent kit!👍
I really like US people, the only ones that go hiking with their whole house on their back. 2/3 of your 10000$ gear is just useless payload dude. Might as well find a cozy mountainview hotel with a spa 🤠
Oh dear buddy, I wish what you said was true. :)
I live in one of the worst countries on the Balkan peninsula, eastern Europe.
What you see in this video is a compiled saving of over 10 years of bushcrafting. For 5 years I drove a car I paid 650$ but would spend every dime on outdoor gear since that is my passion.
I started with tarps under 1$ and knives I forged myself from some low grade steel that would bend on harder woods.
I take your comment as a compliment! That means I went a long way! For me this took 10 years to compile, tossing out 1 by 1 of my crappy old gear :D
My bad, but I still think you carry way too much. Look out for military solutions, you'll be able to ditch a lot of unnecessary gear without compromising comfort.
Thanks for your kind answer and see you around some tree, somewhere. hugs from France 😘@@bushcraftfrog
what kind of morakniv is that
Good stuff man
Awesome thanks! where did you get that leather saw case?
I diy amateur hand crafted all of the leather items myself.
Great footage 👍 liked & subscribed, thanks for sharing, grüße Michael from Germany
Tell us how to make such a chair with your own hands. I do a little leather work. Do you have a pattern? Thank you.
Might make a separate vid on that these days. Been doing a lot of crafting lately.
I don't have a pattern but I might figure something out.
@@bushcraftfrog OO. Thank you very much! )) I will be very grateful to you if you can come up with anything!!!!
Great bit of kit! Thanks for sharing! Watching from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island in Canada! Cheers, Kimmers and Jerbs #22ADAY I'll never quit quitting 👍🏼🇺🇸🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼
Great video and gear! New sub, looking forward to more content!
Thanks for the sub!
BTW- I LOVE the idea of waxing the bottom of your pack! I have a brand new ILBE that is gonna get it's bottom waxed. Great idea!
Hello, what a bivi this is😊
I guess bushcraft just means whatever now.
Nah man I feel you.
I'll be honest with you, this video was supposed to be private, my outdoor gearlist, for a few of my friends, accidents happen, unfortunately for the bushcraft try-hards, it is super disappointing. Which I do get.
Point is, my back is getting old, and between work and life I do not get nearly as much time as I wanted to spend out.
So when I go, I try to eliminate all the possible unnecessary tedious tasks of the day... I also break and set up camp a lot..so..
Call it camping gear I guess, maybe you saw something useful in it maybe you did not.
Besides I do not watch nor follow any RUclips bushcraft related stuff so I do not have a slightest idea of whats the thing nowdays, nor do I care, I just wanna be out. I've been in this story for over 15 years. Over the years, this is what my pack holds when I go out for 4-7 days into the forest for a hike and simply existing there, doing some carving, or just plugging my brain out from all the shit of the city.
I used to do a lot of bushcrafting when I lived in a different location, heading out with a small pouch containing the bare minimum and would stay out for a stretch of days.. But, I am older, job is killing me, life is not easy on me either, so sleeping with my back on a dampish ground with no padding will only make me feel more miserable instead of putting a small light in my life.
You get why I carry so much backpacking gear instead of simply crafting my own little cabin or something right..
I love the kit, however I feel like the modern bushcraft just kind of ruins the feeling for me. I try to use minimal vintage gear solely bc it makes me feel more hardcore which is totally false but oh well.
Yea, I have a similar feeling, but this is just a very comfortable yet bushcraftish kit. It is just something that has proven to work for me over the years. Since I do both HC bushcraft with like just a wool blanket, tarp and some tools, all the way up to ultralight backpacking.. So I mix them all over the place depending on the mood, weather, how my back feels that day, etc...
I did plan on making lots more videos covering different setups for different occasions, but I kinda god bored of the whole YT fuss, so I just go out whenever I can and do not bother filming it :D
@@bushcraftfrog I hear ya! Nothing wrong with modern or vintage gear I just wanted to yap I guess lol
Excellent showcase of the items that are functional and needed to survive in the woods. I have many times wondered what would be more useful in a four or five day backpacking trip a saw or a hatchet? Obviously the saw would be lighter and easier to carry, but the hatchet might be less tiresome to use on firewood and can also be used as a hammer.
Tough question.
Really depends on what you plan to do in the woods. If you plan on building a large wooden shelter or a makeshift cabin, then the hatchet (preferably with a longer handle in this case) would be preferable. This also applies on the kinds of fires you plan on making. For the winter, a hatchet would be my choice.
If however, you plan on just cutting down a few sticks and twigs for making pot hangers and such stuff.. The saw and its compact size and light weight is a plus, especially when coupled together with a handy knife.
As for the hammer part, yip, that is one more feature you get that compliments a build of a more permanent shelter. On the other hand, you can use a saw to make a pretty nice batton/mallet to use for battoning your knife if need be.
What I do is this... If I plan on walking a lot, but still not too much like when I go on my backpacking and hiking trips, some hiking and bushcrafting, the saw will be the way to go.
If I plan on being more stationary, the ax will be my companion...
Also, since firearms are kinda illegal where I'm at, that ax does make me feel a bit more secure (just a bit) when camping in bear country...
Hope this answers the question.
Really nice videi , thank for share, hello form Bulgaria
Hi! excuse me, what is the slingshot model? where could I find it please? Thanks in advance ^^
Hey buddy.
Well I actually made that one. You can find plenty of similar designs on the net. What is important is the band on it. I'm using theraband I think it's called.
@@bushcraftfrog Thank you!! 😊😊
I love your videos and I want to invite you to collaborate but I can't find your email .
So let me know if you are interested in learning more.
where did you find a brown Singi? I thought they were only available in olve and dark grey ?
I'm working on a semi ultralight bushcraft four-season kit. Weighing in at an amazing. 19lbs or less using ultralight gear. And modified Bushcraft gear. ( Now granite some of this I had to think outside of the box in order to figure it out ) Using gear that can do what I need it to do. What but was not intentionally made for this purpose.
It's an amazing setup !
Idk
wait what axe is that?? i wanted to know loool
Looks like a husqvarna axe that's been modified. I have the same one.
Good choices. Do I agree with everything you chose? No. Do I love that you chose not to beat a dead horse carrying on about your choice of axe or knife!?! Absolutely!
Mystery ranch 2 day pack knocks spots off the fjallraven singi.
👍
Happy New Year. Great video, and am enjoying the comments. I hope you’re able to share some more!
What’s your fleece? Looks sturdy.
What brand is your bivi?
That is something I picked up at a military surplus store years ago, the brand on it is Carinthia. No model or anything like it on it.
Keep in mind that I modified it by adding the waterproof zipper to it, it had no zipper originally.
It's extremely lightweight.
Nice I love practicing bushcraft skills in the mountains of North Carolina looks like your near my home
You cracked me up throughout the video... "It's a stupid color, but you know." Very well done and entertaining. Keep being you, brother!
Спасибо за интересный обзор!

Whats your pack bro?
It's the Fjallraven Singi 48
Calling a camping video bush craft is really poor.
In that case let me educate you:
"Bushcraft: skill at living in the bush."
By definition, there is nothing that indicates this being a camping video. The pack used might seem a bit more "gearish" compared to the minimalist bushcrafting videos you might be used to.
But it does not mean you would be unable to fulfill the definition above with this pack.
People are wrong to assume these days that "bushcraft" has to be purely minimalist way of carrying only a knife, water bottle and a flint.
And crafting everything else while being out.
That is called survival my friend.
But I have done that as well, and is something I will cover at some point.
Instead of ranting, take what you can from the video and spend time outdoors, because at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters.
Stay safe out there.
P.S.
Definition of Camping: "...the activity of spending a holiday living in a tent."
So next time you decide to pour salt on someone else, know what you are talking about first.
Since this pack is used to spend between 2-6 weeks out in the bush on a single stretch depending on how much time I have.
I really am put off by "experts" like yourself and it was one of the main reasons why I never wanted to start something like this. Knowing all those haters will pour out like small pox...
I have been at this craft for about 15 years and have even held courses, but you will never see me ranting on someone else's videos.
Respect and you shall be respected as the saying goes...
Nice video. Very clear.. keep up the good work. Greets from holland
very comprehensive video, thank you for taking the time to document, can i ask what the pack you were using, looks perfect for your needs
What type of backpack are you using? Very nice video you covered the basic ten c’s of sustainability.
It's the Fjallraven Singi pack, but there are plenty of other packs that would do the job just as well.
@@bushcraftfrog thank you sir I love the isle royals packs as well for bushcraft but yours is quite nice.
@@granvillej3316 This is something I personally liked, but it not necessary at all.
bags I used in the past could not even be considered proper backpacks...
Thank perfect gear
What is the back pack?
Fjallraven Singi
Onetigris makes an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING light weight portable folding camp chair that's probably 1000x more comfortable than most others!!!!something you might wanna look into getting..... they're worth EVERY PENNY!!!!!!
I looked it up and it looks dope!
That is something I'm kinda looking for for my Lightweight Backpacking setup.
Now this heavy piece of leather I carry around is more for the soul then my bum.
My late gramps used the same one, just with the legs pre-attached to it, so I used that one for reference.
So I mainly have it just for the old school feal.
It’s the unmentionables I’m interested in! You left me hangin’ there!
Nice pack setup! I'm gonna have to make a gear dump video. I watch them all the time.
It is one of those things that never get old and there is never too much of em. Always good to see what other people carry, always might get some new ideas.
Real man carry weight 20 kg 💪 or not look at weight 🤭
13 KG is same as my gear ,but when i add 2l of water and some food it easily gets to that 18-20 range. That mentioned is for 4-7 days trips.
The weight of the pack includes 1l of water.
For bushcrafting purposes, I do not carry more than that, since I will usually follow or camp by a stream. Using my filter, I have an unlimited supply.
Food will add 2-3kg of weight depending on the length of the trip.
If I plan on hiking more, the ax, grill, leather apron and leather stool will be left at home to cut down on the weight.
The bivy bag and radio will usually not come with me as well, and all of this can cut the weight down significantly.
Hey there! What brand is your waxed smock? Thank you for the video and showing your preferences. Atb.
Hey, It's the same as the pack. Fjallraven.
Got it used and it works well, you just have to apply wax yourself.
Nemanja = My Man in korea.......in sound........do you have korean wife?...
I do not, that is just a regular name in my country. Has no meaning.
Add some salt and pepper to your bag..
Excellent kit 👌
Can you tell me bagback name ? I want to find it 😊
Your missing a French press or way to make coffee my guy!!!!! I couldn't go out without a way to make coffee lol
Oh... Well I do not drink coffee.. Sometimes tea.. Mainly just good ol' plain water :D
Прикольно, но половину вещей можно заменить или вообще избавиться.
What is the frying pan/plate and pot set?
Nice load out my friend 😏
Great pack!
👍 Nice simple kit with all the essentials. Thank you for sharing.
Nice Setup. Thank you
interesting. even if I wouldn't take the inflatable mattress during bushcraft
That is a sound argument there.
I've gotten this feedback a lot. Matter of fact is, I do pure bushcraft and lightweight backpacking as well, over the years, the gear just mingled together for my "main forest loadout". So right now it's a hybrid pack.
I do plan to make separate videos on old school bushcraft setups as well as a lightweight backpacking pack.
This particular pack just works for me really well atm.
Thanks for Sharing
Good job have fun in the woods
Pozdrav Nemanja. Engleski ti je ekstra! Mislio sam da si Amerikanac! Pozdrav iz grčke!
Primeti se da nisam kada se malo bolje zadubi :)
Krcka inace deluje kao super mesto za oprobati neke bushcraft vestine, zanimljivo podneblje.

Nice gear review, what radio are you using?
Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹
Hi there!
Frankly I have no idea, I got it 2nd hand and the brand is TOPCOM, range supposedly 10km, we tested them in thick woodland up to 6km, no signal loss, and out in the open up to around 8-9km, still no signal loss. So they seem to be doing pretty well for a $30/pair.
really excellent setup
