    Being a nurse I would add a mini first aid kit, six band aids, bacitracin ointment, a couple of four by four pads, some 2 inch square gauze, tweezers, small hand sanitizer, a few Tylenol or Ibuprofen tablets, and tweezers. All this should fit into a small 4x4 plastic container.

It's like you said in a video way back " Survival starts with the clothes on you back and the contents of your pockets" This is perhaps the smartest mini pack I've seen. Great presentation. Only thing I would add is about a foot of gorilla tape onto the lighter. Multi use, fire repair... Thanks for another great video.

    A poncho is a must. I bought an Arcturus poncho earlier this year. Put it to use on a backpack camp. It rained on the hike back. Fit over the 55L pack. Also used in a few weeks ago on a grouse hunt when it rained early. I slinged the 22 rifle barrel down and the poncho fit over keeping me and everything dry.

A small headlamp/flashlight with extra batteries. There has been more than a few times when I’ve come across someone who overestimated their strength or ability, and ended up out too far and not able to get back before dark. Remember, sometimes what you carry is not only to help yourself, but to help someone else.😊

    Personally: 3 in 1 coffee, chocolate and (unless your diabetic) lots of sugar. If tea's your thing, go for that. If your benighted and its going miserable (and yes, I've been there) getting something hot and sweet into yourself is the best way of staving off hypothermia. Carbohydrates, hydration and warmth.

    I'd suggest taking a look at the CNOC water bags, the Vector and the bottle-style Vesica, the Vector comes in multiple sizes. Vesica is a collapsible 1 liter bottle, the Vector is a bag with a threaded opening in one end, and a large zip-up style opening in the other for easy filling. Both are part of my ultralight'ish kit. The Saywer bags will do, but they are a bit of a hassle to fill.

    One thing that is extremely important to add is electrolyte packets; LMNT, Liquid IV, etc. You can drink all the water you want to hydrate, but you end up flushing electrolytes out and you'll feel like crap. I watch The Outdoor Gear Review and that bivy was tested and it isn't a good product. You sweat in it and it doesn't keep you warm, it actually draws heat away from you. The Swagman roll and Woobies tested really well and are better choices. Luke, who owns the channel, really likes both of them and uses them often when he camps and does gear testing. If you haven't seen his channel , he has a lot of pull in the gear industry and manufacturers actually pull items and make changes based on his testing and reviews. Worth checking him out, it will save you the hassel of trying different gear and save you money too.

    Have you ever tried to do a historical reenactment solo overnight? I think it would be fun to see if the combo of pemican, hard tack and portable soup would work in a kit. You could supplement it with foraged wild greens. Have some nice cowboy coffee. Then you would just have stuff like a saddle blanket for your shelter. That would be fun!

  • @sheldonyee6226

    Tip and trick.
    If you look at Father Nomads pictures of his product in use you will notice a bag from CNOC Outdoors. That bag is a two liter bag and was designed to be used with both the squeeze and the mini. It has a two liter cap that will fit any soda or water bottle, and rolls up as small as the sawyer bag. However. The CNOC opens on the bottom so that you can scoop water into it. Some streams Brooks or pools may not be deep enough to use the Sawyer bag, so even the smallest brook or shallowest pool you will be able to get water into the squeeze bag which you can't do with the Sawyer bag. Down side pre filtering may be out of the question for shallow water sources, and in rivers with high sediment flow the smallest particles may adhere to the inside of the bag's material, so in that event you may not be able to get the bag 100% clean again, but since it's a dirty water bag it's not that big a deal. It works with both the Sawyer mini and Squeeze. I have two and I appreciate how much faster I can fill that bag over any other. Plus you can fill it it at night and let gravity filter the water while you sleep because the bag is also able to be hung.
    This tip is a hikers tip.
    Hikers always preferred using Smart Water, water bottles with their sports cap. The bottles are light and sturdy, plus easily replaceable and easy to squeeze. But the sports cap is preferred because it will fit the Sawyer mini with or without the straw. I carry both the mini and the squeeze and I also carry an extra bottle cap and sports cap. Both Sawyers clam the will filter 100k gallons. Compared to carrying a Geopress carrying both is still smaller than that of a Geopress and nesting cup. I also carry the ckeaning syringe, which I also use for irrigating and cleaning wounds.
    I also carry an Adventure Medical first aid kit since it was designed for hikers, which I added the same suture kit you showed previously and pressure wraps for sprains, and two tourniquets and although I dont carry Sam splints I was trained on improvised splints .I'm waiting to see what you come up with for you first aid kit. Get a CNOC bag and experiment in the kitchen sink with that and the Sawyer bag, you'll be convinced.

If going in areas with little or no water, I would wear my military issue camelback mule pack with my LBE but replace the hydration bladder with commercial water bottles. Areas with little or no water MRES with water Lipton Noodles (now Knoor, tasted better when they were Lipton).

    +1 on the notebook. It might seem unnecessary or even frivolous, but as someone who manages emergencies for a living, even a little stress can affect one's memory, ability to sense how much time has passed, etc. Having the ability to take quick notes can be a literal lifesaver. It can also be a huge morale booster to be able to record one's thoughts, or go back and re-read about prev. adventures. I know a guy who had his family write little notes in his book and it kept him going through some very tough times.

    As a low cost alternative to the food, you could grab a pack or 2 of those pre cooked sides you just have to microwave and those packs of tuna, salmon or chicken. You can do a sous vide for the side and then add the meat. Seaweed would also be a good addition for lightweight nutrition. But always remember you can use pine/spruce/cedar needles for tea to keep your vitamins up, lol!

    That's a nice tarp, but my go to for a small light and easy to carry emergency tarp is the t6zero from coalcracker.

      5x7 light nylon tarp at Walmart is 10 bucks. Comes with a stuff sack. I've been using the same one for about 5years now.( with reinforced grommets)

    For a cheap solution to sol and tarp, I will substitute heavy duty rubbish black bags . Add a reflective sheet.

    I love your videos, but the knife. The second "bottle opener" with a sharpish blade, is a can opener. Just thought you should know. Thanks again for another great video.

    Good little kit that requires little to no skills and doesn't break the bank either. I like it. Looking forward to your video on the tarp. Semper Fi brother

    1000 likes in 1 hour. Good video. Ive been wondering where that deer hunting shelter went. I’d like to know how the dugout shelter worked out long term, or if it didn’t. So much digging for an old man 😅 like you

    My only problem with this bivey bag is it does not breath and I have always had problems with condensation inside non- breathable covers and I wake up soaked.

    Wrap some duct tape with some fishing kit around that lighter, lightweight and adds to the versatility of the kit. Tape makes a decent fire starter too.

    Shawn- do you know of any mosquito netting contraptions that would just cover your head and top opening of a sleeping bag? All your tarp shelters would be more practical with something like that. Thanks for all your videos/ lessons, I never miss one!

    Good common sense video, Shawn! I may add a cotton bandana to the mix. But, every piece adds weight. All about intent. I like how you stress that fact.

      He usually adds a shemagh for straining water, land navigation waypoint ID and a few other things in a regular loadout. What would be your emergency use for a cotton bandana? No disrespect- genuinely curious.

    I was a little apprehensive to watch this video, as I have grown weary to all the "extra fluff" to put it kindly, but this video was, as you say it, outstanding!!
    Thanks for this to-the-point information, it gave me some things to think about in regards to my kit!

    I have a similar setup that I carry in my daypack for just-in-case scenarios. That's a nice tarp option. The one I carry is the ZPacks 8.5x10 dyneema tarp at 6.9oz but at a considerably higher price tag. Your option is much more economical and within an ounce of weight and roughly the same size, and I like the front and rear flaps. Inside the pouch I also carry the stakes and a preset line with the tensioning loops already on it.
    Father Nomad's site says that he's sold out as a result of this video, Kind of cool you had that impact for him.
