Great video, Nick. From my experience; definitely a good move to keep the core meds (usually 2 paracetamol and 2 profen are essential for a strained/broken leg on your own and if you're lucky, some codeine, and obviously the mil med pack) in the top pocket and essentials such as warm emergency clothing in the sides. Main bit should contain the core kit. Everyone does it slightly differently but it's quite a strategic art how you pack your bergen. Personal survival is something a lot of people take for granted. The Bergen provides that.
I still think the old Alice pack takes some beating, the only bad point is it metal frame ,is not the most robust on Para drops. The SAS Bergen metal frame is good, never seen a broken one yet !
What about karrimor sf predator 45 they are pretty much quality i'm just civvy who's 50yrs old a Welshman from South Wales lives near the Brecon Beacons and i like to try the Fan dance if i can make it any advice.
Hi m8 they and forces use the ortlieb 79 or 109L heavy duty black canoe bags for sleep bag and bivi bag in Bergen, I use 79 L and plenty big enough and if you need smaller ones for other pockets buy cheaper lightweight ones is all you need

Hi nick could you give a breakdown of what you keep in front pouches, got jist of what’s in other pouches/main sack thx?
Good advice keep making the videos
Do you have a link where I can get some of those dry bags that you have?
Great video. What website do you recommend for a military bag??
A good no nonsense video. 👍🏻
What day sack is that looks like a short back but I can’t quite tell
It’s a short back Bergen m8 with modded front pouches
What kind of drybag? I can’t make out what you say, speaking too fast?

"Good quality military grade one" - So a good quality one or a military grade one? XD
