EDC/get home bag
Переглядів 2,6 тис.2 роки тому
This is my EDC bag that goes with me everywhere. it's quite compact and lightweight. As I said in the video, summer is slipping away into fall and I need to reconfigure it for the coming temperature drop. I guess I should've called it my summer EDC as it is missing any type of shelter component. However, it isn't designed to be a multiple day or even overnight kit. It is for those times you get...
My first bushcraft kit. Spoiler alert, it was CHEAP!
Переглядів 2252 роки тому
The first bushcraft kit I ever assembled. Being a broke grad student, I did not have a lot of disposable income, in fact, I had none. Using Dave Canterbury's bushcraft on a budget series I gathered this equipment and started my bushcraft journey, almost 8 years ago, with a minimal outlay of cash. I also show you some of the first upgrades and improvements I made to my kit as time and money (mos...

If you have a file on your multi tool or have one as part of your sharpening kit, you can easily and safely remove the top of any aluminum can. This affords better access to the can and allows you to use the can as a cook pot or to boil water/drink out of.

    Im in the Uk. One of the reasons I bought the Stanley cookset is because I saw it on youtube and the gas canister fitted inside. IHowever in Europe it appears our canisters must be larger, as they will not fit inside the Stanley cookset.

    In the beginning of your video you mentioned Goodwill. I can totally agree with you that there are some pretty surprising things. At your local Goodwill store as far as camping and hiking gear and equipment are concerned. I have found some amazing deals on the above mentioned items at my local Goodwill store before. Everything from a The North Face 65 liter backpack, rain jacket, Big Anges sleeping bag, and other goodies. Just goes to show that you don't have to spend a lot of money on some good camping and hiking gear.

    You have a nice presentation, as in you speak well and have your thoughts pretty well organized. You are knowledgeable on your topic. You aligned your camera well, something that I find extremely irritating on some channels, even those with thousands of subscribers. A couple of suggestions, make an outline or draft bullet points for what you want to convey in your video. If you need other equipment not within easy reach, make it readily accessible and immediately usable for your presentation. Pulling contents from an assembled kit is a little like opening Christmas presents and is entertaining as the viewer anticipates what is next; however reassembling the kit is just time consuming and unnecessary. Finally, you have a very pleasing personality and should do very well on UA-cam. Good luck with your channel.

    Nice. For me my cup nests INSIDE perfectly, instead of outside. I simply put my own bandana into the stanley, then my cup, fold the bandana into the second cup and then throw all the supplies inside the cup, shove the bandana down and on the top I have anywhere from 2-5 instant hot drinks, usually coffee and cider. I carry a lighter with duct tape on it inside, also have had a propane converter for years, a folding titanium spork, and a green scrub pad. Only stuff used for eating is in the kit and I consider it a backup lighter. Otherwise I have a medical bag (small) and a completely dedicated fire bag, which is a ferro and another lighter. Always 2 lighters in total and one ferro, I do NOT carry tinder other than duct tape which I've never really had to use. Never had a problem finding/making tinder even when it's soaked.

    All and all it’s a good pack. Also, your video skills are improving. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing. The average walking speed is 3 mph on good flat ground. I see you have hills in your neck of the woods, so travel speed may be that or less. Even a small injury could slow your progress. Unless you know for sure you will be able to double time it and not stop, you’re probably looking at an 8-10 hour hike from work to home. Aside from that, unless you’re traveling on familiar roads, walking at night in an emergency can be disorienting even to experienced orienteers. You might want to look at making your GHB overnight capable. It wouldn’t take much. A tarp for shelter. A blanket (even a Mylar blanket) for warmth. A cup/pot to hold water and heat up your bouillon. All of these items could be strapped to your pack and not take up room on the inside.

    • @colockumcraft254

    I use a MSR stove. For faster boiling times, use a pot with a wider footprint so the flame has plenty of surface to make contact with.. The tall/skinny Stanley pot is slower to boil water as the flame comes in contact with such a small bottom surface. I suppose it doesn't matter if you have extra fuel and aren't in a hurry.

    • @colockumcraft254
      @colockumcraft254 6 місяців тому
