I’m staring at it as I wipe down the brown bess carbine and realize that I needed 2! Kinda hard to leave it home no matter what stuffies I’m trying to keep ‘smalls’ handy. 👍 Hollar if you do another batch.
It was very satisfying watching and waiting to see what you would pull out next. Very good video. I want to get a blackbird haversack. Where do you get it? Thanks from Mississippi.
I have a different haversack and I don’t judge others but I do carry a compass and other stuff. I will admit of winter I’ll still have that in my personal bag for my gloves and wool scarf or neck gaiter.
Love that you added the top zippered flap on this, Blackie. The overall haversack reminds me of the "traditional" haversack (which I love and use all the time)...But that flap is a phenomenal upgrade!
I like the kit. I never had a haversack. A while back I was looking at a Helicon tex bag but I didn't get it. I already have 11long term survival kits. I have my hands full with doing maintenance on all my kits. I only practice weekly with one but I keep all of them maintained. I enjoy it. People tell me I'm crazy. Don't care. Ain't no shame. Great video. Enjoyed. Rangers clear the way Charles ❤️
Great setup... I would like a headlamp better than the penlight... but that’s just my opinion...I can’t wait to get my bag waiting on the 2nd 50 to be shipped... thanks for all you do Blackie... keep up the great work 👍💪👊
Can you tell me the brand of the mesh hammock and where to purchase one? I feel that it would be less susceptible to sparks than the one wind when cooking.
Interesting I just got to thinking about what you said ...."I am not planning o. Spending the night but I ha e the ability" ...i think it is important to remember that if you don't actively come back ....you WILL spend the night. It is not like a video game ...there is no gear check or any criteria. You will spend the night ...ready or not. I dont know why it just struck me as funny.
You know Blackie I wanted one of those when you was asking about them. But just when you said people promise then don't get them. I was one but I gotta say my world fell apart but I've put it back together better hopefully stronger. If you make some more I'd really like one. I like to set one up as a oh shit bag. What really makes yours different then anything I've seen is the flap pocket. Anyway love your content really like to meet you sometime your a wealth of knowledge
Hey Blackie. How do you feel about electric lighters? I hear good things about them, and I really like mine, but none of the experienced woodsman seem to carry them. I carry a handcrank radio anyway, so it can charge my lighter.
They work till they dont....i personally carry 4 forms of fire making and look it add more....the electric lighters with lithium batteries can fail due to age and banging around then u have a really good one use blowtorch lighting your stuff on fire or you if it is in your pocket 🤕
What about putting the chamber adapter into the buttstock. What pops into my head is the cleaning kit door on m1 garand. Now I’m gonna go look those up and see if those are available or something similar.
Great set up blackie remember the days that my cargos carried .ost of my gear my hunting bag .... Carried the rest now we use haversacks lol great idea
Blackie, do you find that storing a compass around iron and steel items (like in a haversack, where it hangs somewhere until you take it out for the day) makes the compass less accurate and less quick to return to bearing after being nailed? I have discovered my favorite compass (an old Silva Type 5 with inductive damping so no liquid means no bubble to worry about), and they are tough to find so I want it to stay accurate for a long time.
lighter / spare power for my phone / small map of city / list of ph numbers for often visited stores and place to take shelter like friends / pre charged money cards to pay for services / flash light / other thing depending on time or yr and what part of country i am in
Hello Blackie , it's been a few months since I've written to you. Once again I need your help. I have a friend who owns an original Griswald & Gunnison revolver. He wants to sell it but has no idea of its value. Can you help ? I'll contact him through Messenger , I'm trying to keep his name private.
Where can you purchase a blackbird haversack? Nothing online
I have the same question
I know you said you weren’t doing anymore runs. But just curious if you have any of haversacks left.
I’m staring at it as I wipe down the brown bess carbine and realize that I needed 2! Kinda hard to leave it home no matter what stuffies I’m trying to keep ‘smalls’ handy. 👍 Hollar if you do another batch.
Blackie is your compass for Southern Hemispher or global? I'm not sure what to buy for Georgia. Thank You in advance!!
Great info.........very practical. You're a good ole' boy.

thanks it add a lot of use to the bag i carry my shelter set and quick grab stuff there but it would serve many uses
@@BLACKIETHOMAS Blackie, please tell me what that red light was, I want one! Thanks for the videos!
This guy should have all muzzleloaders subscribed ... What a unit of knowledge
Where did you get that flashlight that works as a overhead lamp
Blackie a first aid kit is also handy all year round Need not be big. Just basic tweezers band aids 👍🇮🇹🐾🦊🇨🇭
true my knife has tweezers and i carry bandaids plus duck tape for the bad times

Loving my Blackbird Haversack Still working out what I carry in it but it will always be a work in progress. Thanks for sharing.
You bet!
Did Mr Thomas say "cheap titanium" stakes? Do ya mean aluminum? ?
Just outside of Lamar county,enjoying your videos damn we getting old
I'm little larger since army days in 1968, does anybody make surplus field jackets etc. In old guy sizes?
Great advice thanks
What about your bug spray? Dang gnats and skeeters would up and carry me off!
Nice setup but I'd include some sort of container.
that rides with my canteen
Great setup... I would like a headlamp better than the penlight... but that’s just my opinion...I can’t wait to get my bag waiting on the 2nd 50 to be shipped... thanks for all you do Blackie... keep up the great work 👍💪👊
thanks i carry in my pocket as a edc a olight 1000 lumes that can be a head light so the little light / lantern in my haversack is a back up
How do we sign up for your skills class?
Can you tell me the brand of the mesh hammock and where to purchase one? I feel that it would be less susceptible to sparks than the one wind when cooking.
Where can I get one of these bags?
How about a nice family hike in the Angeles national forest with your family out here in Southern California do I really need to pack this

and you are correct if you go out sooner or later ol' murphy will find away for you to camp out over nite
I have one of those little DPM POUCHES. Great piece of kit!
Dutch army toiletbag..i used it also as wapencleaning kit
My haversack is generally empty so that I can gather up stuff while I'm out.
Sounds more like a mugger's bag ... :)))
@@michalurbanful I wouldn't quit your day job if I were you. Comedy is not your thing
@@CRJines I've heard that before. :)
You refer to youresef as Blackie?
It’s like every time I walk out the door I have to be ready for the end of the world
Great bag!

Well thought out loadout Blackie. Like you said, you just have to tailor it to the situation. Gives me better direction. Thank you.
Just wanted to post that I got my Haversack in the mail today. First order of lot #5. Thanks Blackie.

You never used this crap, everything looks brand new
@viperrc535 tell me you are stupid without telling me that you are stupid~

Not a bad idea i have thought of adding that or maybe like a patch box from a flint lock
Will you be making more bags?
Or, recommend one similar?
Also, great video.
yes still making then if you email me at downndirtywoodscraft.com
@@BLACKIETHOMAS I want a Blackbird haversack how do I order one
That is a nice haversack. Just the right size.
Do you have an extra pair of glasses?
my glasses are only readers i am far sighted so i only need them for up close detail in everyday life i carry but do not wear
Good stuff - thankee!
thanks for watching
Would love to see your bag function with saw/adapter/and file in strap. How YOU install those items for comfort.
your right i will do this as a video and post soon
Great set up blackie remember the days that my cargos carried .ost of my gear my hunting bag .... Carried the rest now we use haversacks lol great idea
safe journeys brother

it can so i make a point of checking and retiring a compass..
I WANT ONE ☝️
Has anyone tried to make a cheap poncho out of a emergency blanket
you can but you will need to line the edge of the cut for the neck with duct tape since once cut the blanket will tear like tissue paper
thank you@@BLACKIETHOMAS
Great video Blackie you have given me some ideas to think about.
Glad to hear it
What would you put in a urban haversack
lighter / spare power for my phone / small map of city / list of ph numbers for often visited stores and place to take shelter like friends / pre charged money cards to pay for services / flash light / other thing depending on time or yr and what part of country i am in
Always a pleasure watching these videos Blackie. Great way to pass a rainy afternoon.
Hello Blackie , it's been a few months since I've written to you. Once again I need your help. I have a friend who owns an original Griswald & Gunnison revolver. He wants to sell it but has no idea of its value. Can you help ? I'll contact him through Messenger , I'm trying to keep his name private.
👏👀👍
glad you liked it
Where did you get the tinder box please
Laby 70 eBay has them brass tinder box
Remarkable how light is is loaded, nice!
STILL ROOM FOR WHAT EVER NEEDS TO BE ADDED
Good load out. When you do the review on the poncho could you give dimensions including the diagonal length
Yes I can and i will set it up
Hy what is that dpm utility bag?
Love both of my Blackbirds, thanks again Blackie Thomas.👌🤠👍
No problem 👍
No water bottle or pot.
What is that red light he had? Is it the Nite Ize 3-in-1?
Thanks Blackie! ATB Sam Adler
You bet

could be i have had it a few yrs
Great video thanks 😊.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video.
You bet
Thank you for help me on the hammock

These guys are always showing us what they carry but they rarely show us using it in the field.
