    Thanks I had heard so much about this pack I found one ( NOS) on eBay .
    I am a new hiker at 60! So I was never comfortable with a water bladder . Glad to see it’s not a “ must have” I’d prefer a water bottle too.
    Beyond that I didn’t understand what all the loops pockets etc were for . (Except that handy helmet thing on back )

      There is a hoop with plastic tube on it at the bottom of pack for attaching collapsed walking sticks.

    Nice video. Would recommend to carry another Mylar bag or contractor bag so if you have to keep warm with an insulating layer you can stuff with leaves.

      Great idea! I do have the emergency sleeping bag, one mylar bag in my EDC, and a trash compactor bag in this emergency bag for just that purpose.

    Would you recommend the Osprey Talon over the Osprey Escapist 25? Does the Talon have an adjustable harness length as the escapist has?

    Do you have a video that lists what you carry for first aid

    • @heathmcconnell
      @heathmcconnell  Рік тому +1

      Unfortunately I have not made a video on this topic yet. There are many schools of thought on these as well. Some would argue an IFAK (individual first aid kit) should not only carry things for bumps, bites, bruises, scrapes, and cuts, but also items for life threatening trauma like a tourniquet.
      I typically always carry stuff for the non-life threatening issues. Various bandaids, hydrocortisone to fight infection, tweezers, allergy pills, Tea Tree soap, and alcohol wipe.
      When making an IFAK, be sure to not get cheap junk. You don’t want things like a tourniquet that breaks when put to use because it was cheap.
      Lastly, you don’t want to skip over first aid skills needed. Knowing how to make a splint from a shirt and two sticks or how to deal with a finger half severed by an axe, etc. is important.
      Hope that at least helps some.

      Thanks a bunch. What do you use your maxpedition bag for? I wasn’t clear on that.

    • @heathmcconnell
      @heathmcconnell  Рік тому +1

      This is a Every Day Carry (EDC) bag. It goes with me In whatever bag I carry that day. If I go for a walk, it goes with me. It is always with me.
      I list all the items in this bag in the description. The EDC is on the video at 12:18 minutes. I am working on a video of just the EDC bag.
      You could view it as a micro survival bag.

    Why did you swap from a bladder to a bottle?

      Bladders take to much work to keep clean.
