When your video popped up on my feed my first thought was "here we go again 🤦" but I'm really glad i watched it. They say the mark of a genius is how much they agree with you and brother we agree a lot lol. It helps that we're the same vintage lol. Apart from the British slant my kit is almost identical and it's great to see that it translates across the pond and across the world. Really like the fire kit in the tin and I'll be doing that with mine. British Airborne '85-'05. Good luck and stay safe. New subscriber, Outer Hebrides of Scotland 🏴
Thank you sir and I truly appreciate your comment. It is comments like this that motivate me to continue putting out practical information. I spent a lot of time in Europe while in the army but never got to make it to Scotland or England.
@@KYPrepper5 I served with a lot of US forces and always greatly enjoyed it. I'm glad you appreciated my comment a peaceful and merry Christmas to you and yours and a happy new year, I look forward to seeing your presentations in the future.
Thank you and I really appreciate you watching and commenting. I plan on using that belt set up during a upcoming class since it worked out during another one that I attended.
Great belt setup! I have some thoughts about additional gear and am wondering about your opinion. 1) A couple of heavy duty trash bags for ground cover or to stuff with leaves for bedding or just to clean up a mess at very little additional weight and space. 2) A seam ripper with a plastic cap in which you also store a few pre-threaded needles for field repairs. 3) A couple of plastic grocery sacks which could be used for emergency head cover in rainy weather or just to keep your main head cover dry. 4) A Mylar survival blanket cut down to a rectangle with a hole in the middle for your head which covers your back and front torso and can be worn over your shirt and under your jacket to provide a layer of reflective heat. 5)A fairly large silk scarf or neckerchief which can be used to stuff into the front of your jacket and capture heat. I saw another YT survival expert saying this is nearly as effective as a wool sweater in terms of heat retention, but have never seen anyone field test it. 6) A can or two of the fuel they use to heat food at catered events to use with your stove in case you are unable to find dry wood fuel. 7) A small piece of nylon screen and an elastic band which you can fix over the opening of your canteen in case you need to gather water from a river or lake or other natural water source as we know these can have a lot of stuff floating on top. Maybe even a couple or three pieces which you can offset to create even smaller openings over the mouth of your canteen. 8) A dollar pair of knit gloves which you can wear as a liner in your regular gloves in case of cold weather. 9) If you intend for this to be a dedicated bug out belt, would you consider stuffing the inside of your regular gloves and the expandable gather pouch with pre-packaged food? I think you could easily get an extra 5000 - 6000 calories into the kit this way and if you need to use the gloves, surely you will have available pocket space in your shirt/jacket/pants. In a bug out situation, I don't think you will ever regret carrying extra food. I hope you find at least one of these suggestions useful and look forward to any thoughts you have. I enjoyed your video!
This is intended for a 24 hour kit and is used in conjunction with a bug out bag or I can supplement it with my haversack to extend the time frame. The poncho can be used to make a leaf litter mattress and I do have a couple of contractors trash bags in my bug out bag. New updated video on it coming soon. I have a large needle taped to my knife sheath and the paracord can be taken apart for thread. I have added a large orange bandana that can be used as a signal flag, waypoint and water pre filter. I really appreciate your well thought out questions and suggestions and truly appreciate you watching and commenting!
My belt is rigged w/ a firearm & mag pouches. So it requires substitutions yet by making a few choices I still roll with high capabilities in a svelte, lithe configuration: 1. No canteen pouch. The firearm & ammo already make the belt a must-have for harness. I wear a3L Camelback 2. No independent tourniquet pouch. I use a rip-away IFAK 3. No compass pouch. I wear mine on a magnetic pull apart neck lanyard along w/ a ferro & P38 4. No independent multi tool pouch. My Leatherman & Buck 110 are welded to my body on the same belt that holds up my trousers. The battle belt rides over them w/o chafe or discomfort 5. In lieu of your shelter pouch I use a WW2-early Vietnam butt pack that I keep lofty enough to serve as a cushion: extra socks, bandanas, OD green puffy jacket that’s water resistant and packs into a small ditty pouch, a Touk & glove liners 6. I do roll a Vietnam med kit style possibles pouch that contains a single 3mil 43g contractors liner & my Essee French mess kit style PSK* *said PSK was developed over 11 years and facilitates medium-term survival in an austere, unplanned bivouac I very much enjoyed your comprehensive & sincere presentation
Thank you for your detailed comment. As part of an overall bug out system I do have another belt set up with a pistol holster, double at pouch and ifak. Still has the canteen set and pouch on back. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
Hey Gary, Good seeing ya. I like that set-up. Very well thought out. Thanks for the overview and explanation of it. Really enjoyed this one. Best to ya ~Karl
Thank you Karl. Lots of trial and error behind this. Taking that Modern Survival Course was a huge help. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
Thank you and so far I am impressed with that BPS Adventure. The price is great, good sheath, and knife does everything I need. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
Was hoping you lasted a link for the brand of your pouches? They look like excellent quality work horses -one thing that I intend to do now that my belt is complete is start swapping out MUCH higher quality cordura. I want the thing to be almost abrasion proof. Per my other longer comment that details my belt I forgot to mention CARRY SAFETY GOGGLES in a cargo. One you use em you’ll think “how’d I miss this piece of kit?”
Pouches are all military surplus, Marine Corps, except the dump pouch is Condor. I purchased them from various surplus dealers on EBay. I wear glasses and depending on the task at hand I switch them for prescription safety glasses.
The belt is a Blackhawk padded molle belt that I have had for a while now and I don’t remember what the harness is but I did have to purchase it separate. Hard to beat the canteen and cup set but I do have a stainless canteen for my bug out bag. Thank You for your question.
I believe the harness is absolutely necessary in order to distribute the weight and without it it would definitely be piled up on the ground at your feet eventually. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!

This is basically the same set up I resorted to after messing around with different ideas for several months.
Everyone has to do what works best for them and the only way to know is trial and error. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!

What belt is that? we have the exact same canteen set up lol out of all my canteens the nalgene and that cup set is my go to.
The belt is a Blackhawk padded molle belt that I have had for a while now and I don’t remember what the harness is but I did have to purchase it separate. Hard to beat the canteen and cup set but I do have a stainless canteen for my bug out bag. Thank
You for your question.
A battle belt without a harness system is called “pile on the floor”
I believe the harness is absolutely necessary in order to distribute the weight and without it it would definitely be piled up on the ground at your feet eventually. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
Looks like 100 lbs. Lol
I assure you it is 10 pounds and I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
I lost interest when u purchased the VISM brand tourniquet pouch. Stay with ALICE. 👎👎🇺🇸
It has worked for me but you do what works best for you. I appreciate your comment.
