👍 Good review of your pack. I agree it is disgusting when people defile nature with their trash. At one time I thought we would get past littering but lately it seems to be getting worse not better. Shame on anyone who does not haul their trash out with them. Very nice of you to correct their rudeness.
I like how you called this your bushcraft backpack. I'm sure there are more than a few people out there that don't realize that there can be a big difference between a day hike backpack kit and a bushcraft kit. The last thing I'm going to do if I'm planning on doing lots of miles and elevation gains just for a hike is carry a twig stove, axe and saw. But if bushcraft is the intent of the adventure I'm going prepared for it. But yes I do understand there can be a gray area between the two, so a little planning always help. Great video I enjoyed it.
Every single time we go to our favourite lake we spend at least some time cleaning the place up after other people. When we leave, there is at least a good pile of kindling cut and stacked within easy reach of a cleaned fidelity and nothing man-made left lying about. We just consider it good manners and hope that if the next campers find it that way, they will also leave it that way.
In Australia, on long weekends, you can go into the bush and find a abandoned campsites ie plastic tents , foam ice boxes , empty food cans ect , I can only think that this situation arises because of cheap imports and a bad mindset.
I have a backpack which I got at the Army Exchange in my area and it is like the military issued ones and I loved them. In it is my first aid kit which is still in the package, my main fire steel & stricker, a Corona folding saw, Gerber multi-tool, folding knife, hatchet, solar blanket for charging my phone, survivor kit with backup accessories including a flashlight, and the small flashlight in it. I have two compasses, and mirrors for signaling, a survivor blanket, a combination cookware set with skillet, plates, cups, and flatware. I also have some steel drinking straws, and I waiting for my headlight to put in the backpack also. I carry a folding tarp in my backpack, and my sleeping bag, and bed liner on the outside of the backpack attached to it. I keep one canteen in the bag along with one on my utility belt, with my main survival knife, and a few other items.
Someone mentioned redundancy. While one can overdo anything, a good rule to remember is ; 2 is one and 1 is none. I like to have at least 3 ways to do anything I set out to accomplish. I'm more a prepper/ survivalist than a bushcrafter.
i absolutely love how little you need to enjoy the outdoors, theres so many people who have to plan for weeks to go camping for a weekend when in reality you just need some basic tools and supplies.
Quality large garbage bags do more than just haul out garbage (contractor bags). Duct tape and garbage bags will make a leaf filled bed (no bugs), rain fly, poncho even a tent, if you bring enough. PS: Never forget your duct tape. Did he include all of these? He should have. List of absolute necessities: 1) Fire Starters 2) hefty large Garbage bags (4-6 mil) 50 gal or larger. 3) Duct Tape 4) a good knife and sharpening stone. Multi-use knife is best. 5) Fishing equipment: hooks lines and sinkers. 6) first aid kit. 7) Canteen/water purifier
Thanks for the video, Learnt quite a bit from it. I still need a few things to complete my pack. I have the basics so far and adding on a month to month basis.
1:05 I seriously feel for ya it's not just you I drive otr as a truck driver and I want to pick up all the trash I see on the on and off ramps on freeways/highways. There's especially alot in california. Also especially tires since they can be reused. I've found lots of 5 gal buckets that still looked to be in usable condition. I was able to pick up 3 home Depot buckets with oil in them. Cleaned them up and kept them only one was discolored due to uv rays. Not a big deal tho. Also be careful where you put those chem glow lights they do break open sometimes. Due to heat or seal break after all it is still plastic on the outside and there is a seam there. I would put in a seperate ziplock freezer bag
I also keep a foldable backpack from Amazon under venture pal which can be unfolded into full size backpack for If you collect more stuff on your trip back home than you came with.
Great set up! I can tell you too have a passion for Wilderness Bushcraft. I like your organizational systems. I've seen your other videos too and they are equally impressive. Nicely presented!
Hello my outdoors friend. I first saw this video two years. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to give it another look. All the best to you. Stay healthy out there. 🤗
You should try a cold steel spike hawk . I use mine for multiple uses . like rolling logs or rocks for bait and when I'm climbing a steep hill the spike works great for planting in the ground for extra grip so pervent me from sliding and falling
Everytime I go out I bring a trash bag for others litter. Is annoying, but the places I go dont have park services very often so I figure why not clean the area I use as well. Its amazing what people leave behind
Kuksa is best way to drink coffee or anything you got while in wilderness. The feeling is just something else. Finnish origin from Sami people and now most used cup in bushcraft atleast here in Finland.
I appreciate your help and speaking out about the TRUTH of unreliable, unethical behavior of some people! In this case. If well don't show discontent or this behavior and speak out then some people now day may be stupid and think someone else is paid to pick up after their sorry selfish ass!
You kinda skipped over the thing I was most interested in: what kind of titanium wood stove do you have in Tuff Possum gear pouch? I heard the separate pieces clanging inside the bag, so maybe the Emberlit Fireant?
A great survival pack! Nice job. Perhaps one of the best I've seen. I've seen many packs, plus I've put them together for family members, to keep in their vehicles. Anyone who has never used a pocket bello to start and keep a fire going is really missing out.
That hidden woodsman pouch isn't on their web site however I did discover nitecorr / makes great EDC pouches. I did order one hidden woodsman pouch for fire. And I ordered an llbeen camp ax as mu tomahawk. It's made by grand force one lb.
I agree with some of the gear you carry, and some is different. I prefer a larger ruck (my go-to ruck are the MARPAT ILBE with the attachable assault pack when I'm going on a longer, deeper excursion and need more gear, it's my "everything but the kitchen sink" bag, and my 5.11 Tactical Rush 72 for a good size ruck and don't feel like carrying such a large, heavy ruck. It still is good lots of gear. Both have MOLLE all round and compression straps, which are important features in a quality ruck IMO, and these rucks are very well made). Most of my gear is military surplus. I make extensive use of the MOLLE to attach more pockets and pouches. I spent the first 40 years of my life in a good size city, and moved to an isolated, rural, mountainous area 5 years ago. I have always carried guns and knives both places (just more guns with more power, more extra ammo, bigger knives, etc...... in the country). We live on a large tract of private, heavily wooded land in the middle of nowhere and there is a lot of dangerous wildlife here. In the city, a compact .45 ACP, .40 caliber etc......, along with an extra high capacity mag or two (yes, I have a CCW permit), and a spring assisted tactical folding knife is appropriate city armamentfor gang bangers and crack heads. I still carry a semi auto pistol (or two), and extra mags, as well as a magnum caliber revolver, powerful rifle and/or .12 gauge tactical shotgun (with plenty of mags/ammo for everything), plus bigger knives, usually a bayonet, tac vest with MOLLE, etc...... in the woods around here. I'm a gun enthusiast and I also don't want to be the victim of someone cooking crystal meth or growing weed (or their guard dogs, which they make vicious as hell) deep in the woods so, an AK, M14, H&K G36, 45-70, 300 Win Mag, etc...... often accompanies me and my handguns (with plenty of ammo for everything, and maybe a .12 gauge Mossberg 500) when I venture into the woods around my property. I have to ask, what kind of zippered pouch was that you carry for a fire bag? It's similar to the fire bag I carry. And who makes that heavy duty sheath knife you carry, and where can I obtain one for how much? I like it. I believe in redundancy (the classic "two is one and one is none" mentality). My primary sheath knives are the U.S. Marine KA-BAR on my pistol belt, with a German military Eickhorn or Gerber Strong Arm in my backpack. Also, who makes that double sided sharpening and honing stone in the case and where can they be obtained?
I totally understand, my boys & I are so used to cleaning up camps before we camp out due to previous visitors leaving their trash. It is a real shame but it is what it is. I think I'm gna give that CRKT tomahawk a try. Nice gear & scenery. - Marco
My grandfather fitted almost everything he needed for weeks in his pockets and on his belt. The backpack was for food, alcohol, water, wire, bullets and tobacco. No channel goes anywhere near his Native American knowledge. His most prized tool aside from his rusty knife and a 303 was a collins machete. did not learn enough. I have a huge backpack.
I have the same T-hawk. The only modification I did (other than sharpening the edge) was to square off the hammer; I didn't like that it was rounded. I see guys shorten the handle a bit but I like it stock except for the shape of the hammer.
Thats why I was thinking that, probably silky pocket boy would be best silky, bc it is only so long, less likely for snappage, because your tasks would be smaller.
I like silky saws to, however if I had to pick ide go with the bahco Laplander just because of how brittle some silky blades can be, great video, and I love that bag
@@torch39 really? Because conservatives aren't the pro business people (mining, oil, ranching) ruining public lands in the west. Give me a break. Take that shit somewhere else.
Swamp Valley good on you friend! 👍🏽 I’ve taken to carrying in a spare plastic sack for any crap I found out there. Not usually much around here, but I like to have it handy.
agree, wtf he needs axe for with a batoning knife and a silk saw, massive fire redundancy i think i counted 2 firesteel rods 1 in pouch one on knife(why??) etc
Hey! I’m interested in starting bushcraft always been interested. Can you recommend any good starter kit lists? Also should I look into paying for a introduction course or go out for one night and try my equipment. I’m in the army so used to being out in the field with issued kit.
That’s a nice load out. It’s to bad that some people have to leave such a mess. One spot I like to go to the garbage is so bad in places, I would need an air lift from a Chinook helicopter to get the crap out. I can’t believe some of the things out there. I just have my own little spot that I like to go to and the only way you would know I go there is if you find my two sticks I have made up for my tarp.
Good review and good stuff you got there. If you like the Silky saws you should check out the Silky Nata chopper. I love mine. Keep up the great videos!
I think you could use a portable solar panel battery pack. Yes they are heavy, but it will charge your phone, be a 10,000mAh flashlight, and solar panel for any electronic gear. They're under $20.00 for a decent one now. I would also rather have some lighting redundancy for my uses. I do a lot of night time fishing and camping, and could use a bit more there. I don't mind the redundancy as long as you're comfortable carrying it. There are a million ways to reconfigure whenever you NEED to, including dumping gear if you have to.
Great video bro . There's a few things I would add . You really need stuff for land nav .... Compass , maps , GPS . Also a roll of duct tape . With enough duct tape and paracord i can move mountains . You can never have enough . Also I see nothing for hunting , trapping , fishing unless you bring food that could be a problem . All in all a great kit .
you can set pretty primitive traps with what ever is around you most of the time. Idk how primitive this guy goes but I know some channels dont bring any hunting or trapping gear they just make it when they settle somewhere.
You don't need a pocket bellows with your piece of foam. Literally use the foam to fan the flames and you'll find it a lot easier as it takes less work than blowing with your lungs. Free's up a space in your kit to keep a dry spindle for friction fire or something.
Love these types of vids, I could literally watch them all day. I actually have lol a whole day off work to UA-cam videos lol. Great video Wendell thanks!
Great Video! Slight correction: Your ground cloth is a west German „Elefantenhaut“ (elephant skin), on which every Bundeswehrsoldat has slept many a night... 😉 (together with a foam mat, the sleeping bag and a tarp it forms the soldier‘s sleeping system).
Why must Leftist tree huggers such as ANTIFA, yourself, etc. always be so quick to violence? Maybe a few choice words and even yelling at litterbugs would be a better option.
@@christopherwhitehurst9090 reach, boy, reach! Your generalizations and prejudices are totally founded in reality and not that fantasy land you live in. Go watch a video about Q and how Biden is in house arrest. You room temp IQ fairy.
Nice setup. I old and stubborn and still using my modified medium Alice along with modified duece gear. I usually stay out for 2 to 3 days, or as long as my wife will let me!😆
I'm not sure how you define a bushcraft backpack but it seems to be very short term. No blanket or sleeping bag, no shovel, no fishing or hunting gear and of course, no food! I think just carrying a few disposable lighters is a better to go, with a few candles as well! What about a bug net, anywhere you have standing water you'll have plenty of bugs! Thanks for the video!
Pretty complete kit. I know everyone has their fave things so I won't suggest some item or other over what you have in there, but did I miss you showing a compass or a map? And that wooden mug looked cool. :)
Wow... so many salty comments about the silky saw 🤣 It's a superior japenese blade. That's not to say others suck! If you are not a spaz and let the saw do the cutting, they are hard to beat. Why does anyone care anyway? It's just a fuckin saw!
@@ChromeArty I just use a fiskars pruning saw..$15CAD versus how much is the silky? Get what will work for you which more often than not will be a cheaper alternative to what everyone else thinks you should use. There are ups and downs to every tool. In the end its a saw and you're right people are far too salty about peoples kit decisions.
@@ryannlarge8414 for sure man! The Silky Big Boy was $100.35 after tax. And I would never turn my nose up at a Fiskars either! I will most likely be picking one up from can tire ome day. My reasoning for the Silky is: I will be building a bush shelter hopefully soon, and need a larger saw for larger timber. It is the brand that the local mom and pops chainsaw shop carries, I have a preferance for anything Japanese made, the quality is hard to argue with(I have had a Nissian D21, a Toyota Tacoma, and am now running a lifted Suzuki XL-7) AND last but not least... it's a write off 😄. Amd yeah man, the internet is such a bizarre place! A place where two people can get into a heated argument based on the fact they own two different pruning saws 🤣 I actually laughed out loud at how ludicrous that is... yet it is true. Have a great day and happy bushcrafting my friend!!
@@ChromeArty Man I love my rogue but I'm getting the jerk around over a cold weather start issue. little bitch has issues starting as warm as -6c and any colder than -10c she sometimes won't start at all. As for internet arguments I've had people angry that I use pickerel rigs for day to day fishing or the fact that I prefer a 1oz pyramid sinker for most situations.
Interesting, but not sure what the purpose of the pack is. Could you stay out for several nights with it and be comfortable? Or is it just meant for day hiking? Seems like the latter. I'd have liked to see you cut and split with the tomahawk also... curious as to how it compares to a more conventional hand axe or hatchet.
It doesn't compare, i had that tomahawk and it didn't take me long to upgrade to an actual axe to process wood much easier. Don't get me wrong, it's a really nice Tomahawk but for camp chores give me a hatchet or axe any day.
I legit subbed and turned on notifications in the first ten seconds No clue why Edit: I finished the video and it was very enjoyable. I’m still subscribed
Am contemplating on a newer style pack. I've seen like similar style packs. I pretty much the same, with what I pack. Enough though to sustain for 3 days. I enjoy doing compass runs a couple times a year...it's nice the take a brake, stretch out and catch some zzzz...nap are always good...
I just got a stainless knife with an antler handle and leather sheeth. Cuz its cheep $13 and it could get stolen just like the corporal said on his travel EDC. A lot of knives are way over priced anyway and I like the frontiersman look. Like your fire bag.
I know where your coming from on the trash, if you can bring it in take it out, I see this all the time when I'm out on the trails here too.....on a different note, nice contains in the pack for a day out

👍 Good review of your pack. I agree it is disgusting when people defile nature with their trash. At one time I thought we would get past littering but lately it seems to be getting worse not better. Shame on anyone who does not haul their trash out with them. Very nice of you to correct their rudeness.
you taking, or planning to take someone elses trash with you back home to throw away, makes you an amazing human being
I like how you called this your bushcraft backpack. I'm sure there are more than a few people out there that don't realize that there can be a big difference between a day hike backpack kit and a bushcraft kit. The last thing I'm going to do if I'm planning on doing lots of miles and elevation gains just for a hike is carry a twig stove, axe and saw. But if bushcraft is the intent of the adventure I'm going prepared for it. But yes I do understand there can be a gray area between the two, so a little planning always help. Great video I enjoyed it.
Thank you for picking up other peoples litter! No one should ever have to do that :/
Thankfully some states are buckling down on it
Every time we go camping I pick up trash left from whomever, pisses me off cause I do 90% of my campin along fresh water creeks
Every single time we go to our favourite lake we spend at least some time cleaning the place up after other people. When we leave, there is at least a good pile of kindling cut and stacked within easy reach of a cleaned fidelity and nothing man-made left lying about. We just consider it good manners and hope that if the next campers find it that way, they will also leave it that way.
I despise autocorrect, fidelity= firepit
In Australia, on long weekends, you can go into the bush and find a abandoned campsites ie plastic tents , foam ice boxes , empty food cans ect , I can only think that this situation arises because of cheap imports and a bad mindset.
The way that you introduce your kit is really amazing and interesting. A true man in the woods. I appreciate.
I have a backpack which I got at the Army Exchange in my area and it is like the military issued ones and I loved them. In it is my first aid kit which is still in the package, my main fire steel & stricker, a Corona folding saw, Gerber multi-tool, folding knife, hatchet, solar blanket for charging my phone, survivor kit with backup accessories including a flashlight, and the small flashlight in it. I have two compasses, and mirrors for signaling, a survivor blanket, a combination cookware set with skillet, plates, cups, and flatware. I also have some steel drinking straws, and I waiting for my headlight to put in the backpack also. I carry a folding tarp in my backpack, and my sleeping bag, and bed liner on the outside of the backpack attached to it. I keep one canteen in the bag along with one on my utility belt, with my main survival knife, and a few other items.
Thats so cool you are definitely gonna survive if you ger lost in the wild
Hatchet / Axe with a loose none fixed head is always a dangerous tool.
Really would love it if you put links to all your gear. Plus you can make a little extra on the side sometimes. Looking each item up is very tedious.
That's gotta be the cleanest, most pristine backpacking gear I have ever seen outside REI.

Roadhand Viking thank you
Isn't 2 is one and 1 is none, but if 2 is 1 u better gotta get 3. Or so

I am with you I hate that trash stuff! Thank you for cleaning up and thanks for the video.
The pocket bellows is honestly one of my most game changing pieces of kit lol
I highly applaud you for cleaning up after the scumbags. I would like to suggest a good sil nylon 8x8 tarp and a fishing kit.

Extra clothing a must! Also, bug spray!
Wouldnt pine needles help against bugs?

What do you use for a blanket of sleeping bag.
This is day hikes and trips not overnight

We’re did you get you t hawk?
The problem with silky is that the snap easily, steel is stiff and brittle. Baco not so much. Other than that they are great saws.
Thats why I was thinking that, probably silky pocket boy would be best silky, bc it is only so long, less likely for snappage, because your tasks would be smaller.
Great kit very complete looks like a wonderful day to enjoy the outdoors
Where we can find this backpak
Great video and a lot of top quality gear
Great video and informative! What is the part number for the ax or tomahawk you have?
I like silky saws to, however if I had to pick ide go with the bahco Laplander just because of how brittle some silky blades can be, great video, and I love that bag
So true. Silkies snap and Bahcos bend.
seeing that trash in the background hurts my feelings. So lazy and heartless. Even in "civilized" society some care so little.

Good review and good stuff you got there. If you like the Silky saws you should check out the Silky Nata chopper. I love mine. Keep up the great videos!
I think you could use a portable solar panel battery pack. Yes they are heavy, but it will charge your phone, be a 10,000mAh flashlight, and solar panel for any electronic gear. They're under $20.00 for a decent one now. I would also rather have some lighting redundancy for my uses. I do a lot of night time fishing and camping, and could use a bit more there. I don't mind the redundancy as long as you're comfortable carrying it. There are a million ways to reconfigure whenever you NEED to, including dumping gear if you have to.
Great video bro . There's a few things I would add . You really need stuff for land nav .... Compass , maps , GPS . Also a roll of duct tape . With enough duct tape and paracord i can move mountains . You can never have enough . Also I see nothing for hunting , trapping , fishing unless you bring food that could be a problem . All in all a great kit .
you can set pretty primitive traps with what ever is around you most of the time. Idk how primitive this guy goes but I know some channels dont bring any hunting or trapping gear they just make it when they settle somewhere.
Thanks for caring about the environment, not enough do
Great kit mate, I've added garbage bags to my pack for picking up rubbish. So disgusting. Great vid mate from Australia 🇦🇺
You don't need a pocket bellows with your piece of foam. Literally use the foam to fan the flames and you'll find it a lot easier as it takes less work than blowing with your lungs. Free's up a space in your kit to keep a dry spindle for friction fire or something.
I already know what kind of stuff I need in a pack and nothing here was surprising. But I watched it anyway because I love it.
Love these types of vids, I could literally watch them all day. I actually have lol a whole day off work to UA-cam videos lol. Great video Wendell thanks!
Glad you like it my friend
@@ThePreparedWanderer Thanks!! What's the weight of the bag??
Why a tomahawk why not a regular hatchet which tends to cut wood better?
Great Video! Slight correction: Your ground cloth is a west German „Elefantenhaut“ (elephant skin), on which every Bundeswehrsoldat has slept many a night... 😉 (together with a foam mat, the sleeping bag and a tarp it forms the soldier‘s sleeping system).
I feel you on the trash thing. if i catch whoever is dumping trash on Green Mt. Granite Falls Washington i will go to prison for life.
Why must Leftist tree huggers such as ANTIFA, yourself, etc. always be so quick to violence? Maybe a few choice words and even yelling at litterbugs would be a better option.
@@christopherwhitehurst9090 reach, boy, reach! Your generalizations and prejudices are totally founded in reality and not that fantasy land you live in. Go watch a video about Q and how Biden is in house arrest. You room temp IQ fairy.
Nice setup. I old and stubborn and still using my modified medium Alice along with modified duece gear. I usually stay out for 2 to 3 days, or as long as my wife will let me!😆
Wow I'm amazed at how much stuff he packed in that bag👍
love this stuff. I am ready to go camping : )
I'm not sure how you define a bushcraft backpack but it seems to be very short term. No blanket or sleeping bag, no shovel, no fishing or hunting gear and of course, no food! I think just carrying a few disposable lighters is a better to go, with a few candles as well! What about a bug net, anywhere you have standing water you'll have plenty of bugs! Thanks for the video!
It’s a day pack
Pretty complete kit. I know everyone has their fave things so I won't suggest some item or other over what you have in there, but did I miss you showing a compass or a map? And that wooden mug looked cool. :)
You're much better off with an aluminum take down buck saw than a hatchet unless you plan on using it as a weapon.
Canadian Prepper will be able to sleep soundly tonight knowing you didn't bad mouth the metallic god that is a Silky saw.
Wow... so many salty comments about the silky saw 🤣
It's a superior japenese blade. That's not to say others suck! If you are not a spaz and let the saw do the cutting, they are hard to beat.
Why does anyone care anyway? It's just a fuckin saw!
@@ChromeArty I just use a fiskars pruning saw..$15CAD versus how much is the silky? Get what will work for you which more often than not will be a cheaper alternative to what everyone else thinks you should use. There are ups and downs to every tool. In the end its a saw and you're right people are far too salty about peoples kit decisions.
@@ryannlarge8414 for sure man! The Silky Big Boy was $100.35 after tax. And I would never turn my nose up at a Fiskars either! I will most likely be picking one up from can tire ome day.
My reasoning for the Silky is: I will be building a bush shelter hopefully soon, and need a larger saw for larger timber. It is the brand that the local mom and pops chainsaw shop carries, I have a preferance for anything Japanese made, the quality is hard to argue with(I have had a Nissian D21, a Toyota Tacoma, and am now running a lifted Suzuki XL-7) AND last but not least... it's a write off 😄.
Amd yeah man, the internet is such a bizarre place! A place where two people can get into a heated argument based on the fact they own two different pruning saws 🤣 I actually laughed out loud at how ludicrous that is... yet it is true.
Have a great day and happy bushcrafting my friend!!
@@ChromeArty Man I love my rogue but I'm getting the jerk around over a cold weather start issue. little bitch has issues starting as warm as -6c and any colder than -10c she sometimes won't start at all. As for internet arguments I've had people angry that I use pickerel rigs for day to day fishing or the fact that I prefer a 1oz pyramid sinker for most situations.
Interesting, but not sure what the purpose of the pack is. Could you stay out for several nights with it and be comfortable? Or is it just meant for day hiking? Seems like the latter. I'd have liked to see you cut and split with the tomahawk also... curious as to how it compares to a more conventional hand axe or hatchet.
It doesn't compare, i had that tomahawk and it didn't take me long to upgrade to an actual axe to process wood much easier. Don't get me wrong, it's a really nice Tomahawk but for camp chores give me a hatchet or axe any day.
That's a really sweet-looking knife you have!
I legit subbed and turned on notifications in the first ten seconds
No clue why
Edit: I finished the video and it was very enjoyable. I’m still subscribed
Am contemplating on a newer style pack. I've seen like similar style packs. I pretty much the same, with what I pack. Enough though to sustain for 3 days. I enjoy doing compass runs a couple times a year...it's nice the take a brake, stretch out and catch some zzzz...nap are always good...
where did you get that bag from your flint and steel kit?
I really like the tools that you use man, it seems to me that this backpack is a result of a lot of experience and passion for what you do
What pack is that?
I have the Chogan Tomahawk and i have sanded and sanded but cant get the head seated very well. It's kinda getting on my nerves. Any recommendations?
I think using it might help drive the head into place. So swinging and hitting with it. Try that and see if it helps.
@@ThePreparedWanderer thanks for the advice
Hi , what is this bag?
really enjoyed your video it convinced me to get that pack and I got it on sale for 49 dollars
Am I missing something? What kind of pack is it. I have rewatched, looked in description. I’m missing it.
Where do we find this backpak
3V Gear
Setup is tight 😜👍🏼
Instead of Folgers instant, take a look at the teabag Folgers. Lighter weight, thinner pack and isn’t instant so tastes better
Hot chocolate 4 me..
That tomahawk is a nice addition along with that leather fire pouch, a touch of the original frontiersman.
Easy to make a handle and refit in the woods, if it breaks. ?
Those blue pad cut offs are the best!
Good movie!
👍👍👍👌Браво! Очень хороший набор!!!👌👍👍👍
what is the brand of the bag?
3v Gear
Nice Tomahawk.
I just got a stainless knife with an antler handle and leather sheeth. Cuz its cheep $13 and it could get stolen just like the corporal said on his travel EDC. A lot of knives are way over priced anyway and I like the frontiersman look. Like your fire bag.
Which Princeton Tec flashlight is that on the strap of the backpack?
Does it perform well in the night darkness?
I know where your coming from on the trash, if you can bring it in take it out, I see this all the time when I'm out on the trails here too.....on a different note, nice contains in the pack for a day out
Nice video , thanks for sharing.
Everything looks brand new , do you ever use that stuff?
