    Blackie is a walking book of outdoor usefulness. What I like about him he’s never pushing expensive useless gear.

    Great video, great suggestions! Particularly love the soap in the sock tip! Being overweight and having serious health issues, I find I have to minimize bringing equipment to test/train on and often focus only on most immediate and critical needs. For example, I carry a tourniquet, some gauze, and an elastic bandage for first aid. These will treat immediate emergencies, with smaller wounds/injuries having to wait. Same goes for food, which I limit to no more than 600 calories for a day hike. Sometimes my carry isn't very satisfying, but the need to shed weight is most pressing

      Hey I'm glad you caught that. I was wrong in saying that 5 20$ bills fit in that one. I changed out to the ust whistle about a month ago and recently had a wider plastic whistle that had more space. Thanks a ton for catching that. In that particular one there o just have the 100$ bill rolled up in it

    I just found this video. I noticed Blackie and it peaked my interest. I am glad I took the time to watch this. It was refreshing to see both of you support if not totally agree with each other. I enjoyed seeing the difference in items and the reason it was included. How many items were the same in both bags? Knowledgeable people like Blackie offering info on the items you choose to include instead of trying to change your mind to conform to his way of thinking or his needs. When you can set your ego aside and watch and observe what others are doing and saying and not worrying about I or Me as the first word out of your mouth, You are on your way. I just sub to this channel and have been subbed to Blackie's for years. Keep the great videos coming.

      Thank you for the kind words my friend. Here's hoping that you enjoy the channel for years to come. We're on a bit of a hiatus here due to my job. Only small videos will be posting until September and then we'll get out into the woods and camp pretty hard

      We had similar principles on our fire and shelter though my bag personally was set with 3 days rations and the necessities of fire light and first aid. Where blackie whas set for 24 ish hours and woodcraft. I e since moved in that direction myself and roll my food into my bedroll. Makes for a better days tramp on the wilderness.
      Another big feature between his kit and mine. Is that his design to be paired with a bag where mine is designed to simply accommodate a bedroll. We also go into the woods for significantly different things on most occasions. One being true is to smooth it on both sides though.
