Call out all of them!!! Corporal Corner, Dan Wowcak, Dave Canterbury, and the Ranger Survival as well. Give it to them Blackie, lol 😂. Also include James Townsend &Son for a little history challenge. Keep up the good work Blackie and God bless.
That UCO knife/fork/spoon set will also snap together end to end to make a long handle spoon for stirring the pot. Something Blackie wouldn’t know anything about, right, James?!😂
I subscribe to several of the outdoor "how to" channels and have picked up several new tricks and really enjoy your black powder videos . One thing I have noticed is the obsession of redundancy for starting a fire .
Blackie keeps it simple and always concise. Just emptied out my go-bag yesterday to inventory and replace used supplies. I won't miss an episode. Thanks Blackie for being F-ing A.
I have written your haversack contents down in Rite in the Rain notebooks; even from your old videos. Very good for getting my ruck as light and simple as it can safely be. Thanks Blackie.
Right about water and water purification. Maybe that goes in the Etc. column where he says food and whatever items he will need for any given day and set of activities?
Good loadout. The only thing I would add is a Stop the Bleed kit for traumatic bleeding. I always have one with me - in my Jeep, as well as in whatever pack or haversack I’m carrying, regardless of whether I’m in an urban or rural environment. A traumatic bleed is one of the few things that won’t wait for an ambulance or ER without an appropriate first response. Even carrying just a tourniquet would be better than no traumatic bleed kit at all (improvised tourniquets with a belt and a stick or whatever are rarely successful).
It's for blowing on your fire. You don't have to get down so low to blow and you can aim it exactly where you want the air to hit. Great tool for growing an ember or growing that small fire in to something more substantial. Hope that helps you.
Blackie, this should be a great series..call out Wendell from Prepared Wanderer, Matt from Blackhat Bushcraft, Dave from Really Big Monkey, Boone Dockery
Sorry for being unclear/ nieve, but what is this used for ? Just came across your video by chance? Is this a camping setup, a bushcraft day bag , a day hiking bag , or a everyday type bag ? How or when would you use such a bag/contents? I am under the impression you carry this regular as a out and about guy in the outdoors nature?
Please call out @WoodsboundOutdoors! Between you and him, I have learned so much. I just know a collaboration or some-such between you all would be golden wisdom!
Not a critique at all, as an almost daily woodsbum trapper in season. That has got very wet in freezing cold temps too many times. The smallest Sterno gelled alcohol can is hard to beat for emergency quick fire starter with cold wet shaking hands. A small glob of the gel on not so dry tinder will burn. A real fire starting video under very adverse wet cold conditions would be cool. A simulation is ok as long as the adverse conditions are accurate. Make fire in the rain, snow or after climbing out of the frozen water you fell through setting beaver traps. With waders full of water. A Mylar blanket and small fire have more than once got me warm enough to trek out or a better spot to dry out. Just my idea of a cool video I don't see much of. Cheers!
Another great video as usual. WELLLLL, to be honest, - - - I leave the house with nothing but a bottle ot water w/electrolyte. What I come back with is whatever I feel like stickiing in it. I use it for collecting "things" and "stuff" on my hikes in the wild! BUT, I still have "everything" I might need carried elsewhere. I have plans to add 2 straps and "D" rings to keep the flap secured.
Blackie… sure is great timing for this tag challenge. I’m sure that many folks are going through their load out as they move into more springtime outdoor activities. I’m curious about what you might carry in your spring and summer haversack for preventing and treating insect bites and ticks? I realize that you did not include the weight of food and water in this kit, I assume you still run a military canteen and canteen cook set on your belt? Thanks for sparking everyone’s interest. We will see what James comes up with. I’d challenge Black Hat Bushcraft or ol’ Dave Canterbury himself on this tag. - Tennessee Smoky
Man, guess I need to work on my haversack kit because I have an entire camp stuffed in mine with fire kit, water filtration, cook kit, shelter kit, small packing rain kit, fishing kit, food, first aid, saw, cordage, etc. never really use it, tho. I'm a big, strapping lad, so I almost always have a full pack on, plus waist bag with water bladder and thigh bag, so I can carry comfort. I think I've only ventured out with the haversack a handful of times
An interesting conflict between different promotions, each individual has their own uptake on the needs for survival and carry. As a veteran and past scout leader, I know what I need to do, but is always interesting to find different views. 1. I enjoy Blackie for some of his modern take of some survival stuff. But.... 2. I enjoy James Bender and his Hobo and no nonsense ease of equipment and use of the ability of using past times to fit with today’s times, his is a superb viewing. 3. I enjoy the great personal ways the Corporal for his simple in the bush/forest survival as it is needed without filling pockets with unnecessary added items. A great show of what can be done with minimal gear. 4. Dave Canterbury for his easy methods of using different items that fit the occasion. 5. Dave West shows the means to help your methods of survival.
I love waypoint but! I want to see waypoint survival actually do an overnighter in the woods, all we have seen of him so far is him talking about kit and how to use it but we have never to my knowledge ever seen him staying out for the night?
Nice to hear gun shots in the background……it is the sound of freedom…..don’t have to apologize for this . Your channel is famous for this , in fact I’m sure that every video of yours comes with the sounds of people having a good time excerizing their 2nd amendment right….I love it!
Here in B'ham, my local Wallyworld don't got no UCO CUTERRY now. Ain't seen none fer goin' on a while. (Southern boys understand the above just fine. Even the cooth ones)
I notice that EVERYONE seems to use tarred bankline... Is the tarred stuff really that much better than the regular mason line to be found at Lowe's or Home Depot?
Blackie I 'd like to see you call out Ernie at the PaleoMDHiker and Wendel Adams at The Prepared Wanderer for this challenge. Be wl my friend! Bill Doyle in Upr Grnwd k, NJ
He had at least three methods there, but ferro rods are light and handy, too. Although I’ve practiced with them, I’ve never actually used a ferro rod in the field. My el cheapo Bic lighters have never failed me - and I always carry two, just in case. 😊
@@kellydiver I am all for easy, and bic lighters are great. I just asked because he stated twice that he had way to strike a ferro rod (Opinel spine and 4-sided striker) so I caught myself wondering if I missed something.
Who cares? The guy insulted a big portion of his audience last month. Making an off the cuff comment that, if you were never in the military,or was out of shape,you have no business using surplus gear. It was a quick little rant, but not overlooked by alot of his subscribers. There were many negative replies,but magically they disappeared by that evening. I used to be subbed to his channel,but left last year because I was tired of hearing him cry and moan about low viewership.😭
@@FishTheJim No fish, quite the opposite. I'm letting people know how this guy feels about some of his followers. Just read what someone posted about Coalcracker Bushcraft on this episode. That's their opinion about the guy,but they were letting others know what they thought. Sounds like you're a big FANBOI of Shawn's and I've hurt you by my comment. Here, I'll make it up to you and recite one of the Corporals inspiring quotes. OUTSTANDING AF!.....
I’ve followed your channel for a number of years Blackie and you had some really useful insights and information, but the past 2 or so years, I’ve been somewhat disappointed. Case in point, you are showing an awful lot of stuff in that haversack you’re carrying, but who, realistically, needs half that stuff for a simple day hike? Instead of “challenge” or show and tell, do a show and use video, several miles back in the woods and spend the night. Yes, I understand you were showing the contents for others to see. Do I believe you were an avid hiker/camper back in the day? Most definitely, without question. Here’s my “challenge” to you and everyone else. Take your haversack and walk 5-8 miles out in the woods. Not at your local range, back yard or property, but in a state forest/park and do an overnight using all your gear, in a realistic situation.
He doesn't use a haversack, only what fits in his Alice pack. Besides, give him his Hardcore Hammer ax, some bank line, a poncho and maybe a couple of trash bags and he'll build you a camp with 5 star accommodations..of yeah..better add some bacon to that list.
Good one! I'll be working on it!
This should be fun.
@@branch_preparedness Looking forward to it James.
Call out all of them!!! Corporal Corner, Dan Wowcak, Dave Canterbury, and the Ranger Survival as well. Give it to them Blackie, lol 😂. Also include James Townsend &Son for a little history challenge. Keep up the good work Blackie and God bless.
Excellent idea. @blackiethomas definitely Townsend and Son lol. any of the bigger channels and some smaller ones.
And from the U.K - Hidden Valley Bushcraft, TA Outdoors, & Greencraft
Please call out all of these and Bear! @BEAR”SOLDWAYZ
Don't forget Dave Pearson AKA reallybigmoney1 and Survival Lily.
I like the Townsends idea.
Thank you for the mention Blackie and for all the information that you shared with me at the KY Expo. I really like those one wind products!
Blackie, Great Project also Great Load Out on what is in your Haversack . Can't wait to see James has in his . Thanks Again for sharing.
Let’s throw in James from Junkyard Fox for some desert haversack load out.
OH, I can't wait for this!! 😮 James just got called out lol!! This gonna be good!!
Surplus guy calls out Hobo. Gotta be fun. I’ll be watching Waypoint for sure.
I like the idea of having the bushcraft zip ties. Great kit, Blackie! Excited to see what everyone is carrying. God bless!
That UCO knife/fork/spoon set will also snap together end to end to make a long handle spoon for stirring the pot. Something Blackie wouldn’t know anything about, right, James?!😂
Nice! Blackie & James. 2 of the best.
Love how well you’re organized! I learn much from you brother. 👍🏻
I love your content and I love your thumbnails. What do you use to make them?
I subscribe to several of the outdoor "how to" channels and have picked up several new tricks and really enjoy your black powder videos . One thing I have noticed is the obsession of redundancy for starting a fire .
A very well thought out kit!
Love the Opinel Carbon. Excellent setup Blackie.
Blackie keeps it simple and always concise. Just emptied out my go-bag yesterday to inventory and replace used supplies. I won't miss an episode. Thanks Blackie for being F-ing A.
Waypoint is always on point.
Awesome kit. Nice meeting you at the expo in KY. Bless you brother
Amazing video, thanks, Blackie.
Nice loadout, Blackie! Have a good one.
This is good content. I came here from WayPointSurvival to check out the contrast. Each of your haversacks seems about the same volume.
I have written your haversack contents down in Rite in the Rain notebooks; even from your old videos. Very good for getting my ruck as light and simple as it can safely be. Thanks Blackie.
🎉🎉
Very nice loadout on the Haversack. What a great callout on the gear
Good video Blackie, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
Those Opinel knives are incredible. That UCO cutlery set is one of the best on the market IMO.
The Opinel #8 knife, fork, and spoon combo is a great kit, I have one. I think it’s called the picnic.
A canteen would make a great addition
Right about water and water purification. Maybe that goes in the Etc. column where he says food and whatever items he will need for any given day and set of activities?

Blackie didn't mention it specifically but the orange bandana works as a tourniquet among what he did list.
👍🏼🥰thank you, blackie
Looking forward to what James is packing..in ohio with me..good stuff Blackie!
This is great, can't wait to see how this plays out.
Nice set up ,Blackie. Interested to see what James has to offer. Jamie Burleigh I would also be interested in seeing.
It's been a while since I've seen a inter-channel challenge. This is going to be both fun and interesting!
Hey Blackie . What is a fire-tube ? Haven’t heard of that before. Great info about packing a haversack 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It's for blowing on your fire. You don't have to get down so low to blow and you can aim it exactly where you want the air to hit. Great tool for growing an ember or growing that small fire in to something more substantial. Hope that helps you.

This is a pretty interesting game. Hope the whole bushcraft community becomes a part of this.
Can't do it; broke my back trying to do it. That broke my spirit. getting around sucks.
Good stuff Blackie .... You are a gem with all your great content ...
That is a nice setup and I can't wait to see what Waypoint does.
This will be fun.

How about Dan at Coalcracker Bushcraft?
Got the firekit covered, that's for sure. Alright Bender, do it to it.
hey Blackie it';s got to be Canterbury!!!
Great load out blackie it will be cool to see what jim runs
Not a critique at all, as an almost daily woodsbum trapper in season. That has got very wet in freezing cold temps too many times.
The smallest Sterno gelled alcohol can is hard to beat for emergency quick fire starter with cold wet shaking hands.
A small glob of the gel on not so dry tinder will burn. A real fire starting video under very adverse wet cold conditions would be cool. A simulation is ok as long as the adverse conditions are accurate. Make fire in the rain, snow or after climbing out of the frozen water you fell through setting beaver traps.

I'm in Alabama! I'd love to link up with you sometime!
So you don't bring a bath kit? No tp?
Would love to see a ground-pounder or truck camper overnighter video.
Another great video as usual.
WELLLLL, to be honest, - - - I leave the house with nothing but a bottle ot water w/electrolyte.
What I come back with is whatever I feel like stickiing in it. I use it for collecting "things" and "stuff" on my hikes in the wild! BUT, I still have "everything" I might need carried elsewhere.
I have plans to add 2 straps and "D" rings to keep the flap secured.
Looks good Blackie😊

What are you running in your backpack? For down to 20 degrees above zero. Say over night.
I see we are like minded on the necessity of fire making redundancies.👍
I notice that EVERYONE seems to use tarred bankline... Is the tarred stuff really that much better than the regular mason line to be found at Lowe's or Home Depot?
Yes
Masons line is not made to hold knots and stay straight so your knots tend to come apart, tarred bank line holds knots well.
