    I’ve got the same pack I heated wax and painted it on with a brush then heat gun to really help it sink in. I use the pack independently in the summer and with a large aluminum frame from a vintage backpack in the winter. Makes it kind of modular and the frame is great for hauling wood water etc. cheers on the video thanks

    Something to wipe with is great, as long as you don't use what a friend of mine did once. He sure found out what poison ivy looks like the hard way.

    It amazes me how you and others can go camping with so little. It's I have to over pack every time. At the Voo I had a truck bed full and used no more that 20% of it. The beauty of a hammock is you can set it up on uneven or damp ground and I've set mine up in the rain before, set tarp up first then every is under cover to stay dry. Thanks for sharing.

    • @BLACKIETHOMAS
      @BLACKIETHOMAS  5 років тому

      i did the same 25+ yrs rendezvous (southeastern /easter/old northwest)..carried way to much because i was packing a wife..i camped as a boy with very very little..then when i went to voo's i was living out of a packbasket..when wife joined me it grew to a 10X12 wall tent beds boxes..ect..in the end it took 2 hrs to set up..i came back to my roots in woodscraft and now i tote what i need..and very little else..but to be honest on many of these camps i go to now i carry lots of extra gear cause people want me to teach and demo..so i gotta have the stuff fer that..but there is a lot to be said for a haversack and a bedroll a light hammock..and time to wander

    Blackie. I've been following, and watching your videos for some time now. Every now and then I'd hit a run of about 5.. But the other night I went on a binge. You've been making these since 2010? Lot of good stuff, keep it up my man. Good stuff

  • @levicaddell1077
    @levicaddell1077 5 років тому

    Nice basic loadout... not too different from what I carry. My 3 sesson pack is never over 20lbs and that is with water and cook kit. The are usually plenty of water sources around here so I never carry more than a liter. Food depends on where and how long I am gone. I too keep it separate so that it can be hoisted out of the reach of critters. If you carry food in your pack your pack smells like food and can attract vermin and critters. I learned that lesson when I ended up with a pack full of ants... and they were hard to evict. Lol Blessings... later.....

    • @BLACKIETHOMAS
      @BLACKIETHOMAS  5 років тому

      me too i hang my pack on the tree next to my hammock..food is hung in another tree often in the haversack or a dry bag

    Great video Blackie. I also have the German Alpine Ruck and it's a great pack. But I have a question, you mentioned carrying your food in your Haversack, but in your gear load out all you had was a spoon, what do you cook with?

    • @BLACKIETHOMAS
      @BLACKIETHOMAS  5 років тому

      canteen cup set..is my cook set usually..so it rides on my hip and the haversack with the food rides outside as well

    Blackie have you seen the tiny folding table from Cascade Wild? I use mine all the time, it has earned a permanent place in my woods bumming pack. Highly recommended.

    • @BLACKIETHOMAS
      @BLACKIETHOMAS  5 років тому +1

      i have seen those and they would be good kit..i am lucky and in my woods there is plenty of deadfall to woodscraft a quick table when needed

  • @robertmiller8578
    @robertmiller8578 5 років тому +1

    I like the pack and the system but am wondering why the dry bag is inside out because when I was in the Marines I was drilled in to always have the green side out because it makes it more water proof and easier to remove when getting the pack cleaned and re water proofed or did you find it better the way you have it. Please let me know I am very interested.

    • @BLACKIETHOMAS
      @BLACKIETHOMAS  5 років тому +3

      in the marines and in the army it was as you say..however..with pulling stuff in and out the rubber liners is worn off to easy..so i put it inside out so the nylon side is to the gear and it will not develop holes as easy..then it does i patch with good ducktape on the rubber side
