Gear I Don't Carry And Why

- In this video, I break down the gear I no longer carry on hikes and in my get-home bag, explaining why I decided to leave these items behind. When it comes to survival and emergency situations, carrying the right gear is crucial, but so is knowing what to leave out to avoid unnecessary weight and bulk.
First, I stopped using my non-breathable emergency bivvy bags because they trap sweat, making them uncomfortable and potentially hazardous in cold conditions due to moisture retention. Next up is the LifeStraw; while it seemed like a good idea for quick water filtration, it wasn't versatile enough for my needs. I also decided to ditch the multitool because it's too bulky and heavy for what it offers.
I no longer daily carry a Garmin GPS device, as I've found that traditional navigation skills are more reliable and often sufficient for most situations. An axe was another piece of gear that didn't make the cut - it's too heavy and isn't necessary for most tasks I encounter in emergency situations. Lastly, the CamelBak backpack tends to cause excessive sweating, which can be dangerous if you become dehydrated or need to conserve energy and moisture.
By re-evaluating my gear, I've streamlined my setup for better efficiency and safety. It's all about having the right tools for the job without weighing yourself down. Check out the video to learn more about my current gear setup, and let's talk about what you carry and why!

My cheap pack. Traded it in for a high quality one
M60 machine Gun, AKA the "Pig" ... Why? Army simply would not let me keep it when I retired.😊
I have become a
SEVERE minimalist. You tubers and others make you believe you need the latest and greatest new gear. I'm about to turn 60 and realized I never needed 7/8's of the stuff that is hustled on people. I carry a small light clip, an on3 edc or my Bowman og Clovis. My bic lighter with a lighter bro attached, a nalgene canteen and Sawyer wf and a poncho. If I can't make S*** happen with all that, then I'm straight up good with the man upstairs. As Mors Kochanski said, the more you know, the less you carry. Great Great Video Jason
Stay safe Manolito..
Never needed A giant chopper till youtubers told me I did. Never even heard of a ferro rod. Water, shelter, fire. The rest I'll make happen if needs be..🍻
EDC: I no longer carry some of the basic girl gear: comb, mirror, lip gloss. I replaced those things with hair ties, small fire starter and guitar pick as tinder, Carmex.
Good thinking!
How do you use the guitar pick as tinder?
One of the best for me? Fence Pliers.
Its a hanmer
Its a wedge/awl(that can even be used for digging small holes in soils like a hoe
Its a couple of different types of pliers.
A wire cutter
A wire twister.
You’ve taught me to focus on the essentials so I’ve narrowed my gear down a lot. Or shall I say you have 😊
I love the first 2 mins of this video where you talk aboout now that you have everything dialed in changes happen really slow. that resonated with me, ive been using the same stuff for over a decade now and the only reason i swap things out is if they break or i find something lighter in weight that offers modern performance but it takes me a long time test and choose. great video
I don’t know how them typos got in there. I meant to say leather outside the waist band holster for my Ruger LCP II!😊
As I have become much older, simple and lightweight is everything! I find myself setting stuff aside even though I tell myself I must carry it. I finally settled for a nice outside the waist Lea the holster for my band Ruger LCP II with a couple of mags in my front pocket or a S&W 442 the same way. My John Rambo days are long gone!😂😂😂 The same with knives and flashlights for my everyday carry. Luckily we live in a time where light weight gear is available to us all. I have several boxes of items like you do of stuff I use to carry. They are all good kit, but way too bulky or heavy. Many of the items you showed in this video, I own and have used. I found that the Swiss Army knife with the loose blade you showed sucked at piercing anything. Great knife though, but I find I use the point of a knife more than I thought. I really like the pack you now carry, but it cost too much for my budget right now, or I would give it a go! I have a stack of backpacks and haversacks in my closet right now!😂
Ditched my sawyer(mine and my nephews both failed) for a Katadyn Befree .6L, I usually only carry one bottle now and use the befree as my extra bottle.
A laminated map and compass, doesn't require a subscription service....just sayin'...
I used to carry a Solo Stove lite or the Chinese knockoff and also a Trangia but not anymore. it took a lot of space and heavy. I don't carry any cooking gears. What I use now is a pathfinder military cooking kit. For just boiling water to reconstitute mountain house meals or MRE's, carrying all that gear is totally nuts. I am a bad cook that even the bears refuse to eat my cooking. 🙂 With the pathfinder canteen kit, you get a stove, a canteen cup and a canteen water bottle that follows you everywhere. You don't need anything else. Thanks
haven't carried axe in 30yrs.
i always use my british army issue bush knife. otherwise known as the MOD knife.
can cut small trees down with it, baton wood.
prepped squirrels for cooking with it.
if you put small bearing in handle it works as bearing block for bow drill set.
loads of uses.
I did basically same things as you i ditched hatchet for the smallest bush craft silky saw, but of course kept my fixed blade. I do still keep the lifestraw, and water purification tablets in my water kit, but my main water container is a steel single wall nalgene bottle with wide mouth which is easy to scoop water and use the straw in. The water bottle is heavy but i dont ever have to worry about it breaking and i can boil water in it as backup. Maybe ill look into the sawyer mini filter though.
I'm old school, so I will always carry a good sheath knife, small folding saw, and a tomahawk. You never know. Better to have it and not need it, then the other way around. I still prefer a external frame pack. They have great air flow.
Great video as always see ya on the next one
No longer carry
1. Mountain house reason: low calories per pouch moved to Peak Refuel 800-1000 a bag vs. under 500
2. A map, I used ON X much better and I only turn it on when I need it.
3. Cheap packs, I now where a fitted Eberlestock makes 30-lbs feel like 10.
4. Space blankets they are far less warm than what people want to make them out to be and they easily tear when shifting in sleep making heat entrapment even worse. They might make a decent table cloth or ground cover for pulling everything out of the pack.
5. Crapload of ammo for pistol and rifle. Couple mags plus another box or two of 50 in the pack, found that ammo rattles and I want a silent pack.
6. Hard plastic water bottles I now use mass produce 12 oz water, only time water is silent is when the bottle is full or 100% empty then I can crumple them up to small size then blow them out to original size.
I have never carried and actual tourniquet (not even in my pack), but rely on being able to improvise one if needed, from a belt, scarf, etc, etc.
This is probably going to sound funny, but I've been wanting to get into some solo camping and know I'm gonna be a little spooked being out there in a dark bush alone. I've heard some interesting stories. With all your time out there in the bush have you encountered any odd things? Possibly paranormal?
You have peaked my curiosity...
Big knives , ya know the old one tool option nope no more now it’s a mora eldris in neck carry , mora garberg on the belt and a silky saw in the pack and yes I always have my trusted sak in my pocket
If I’m going out to build something I bring an ax. My pocket edc is the leatherman skeletool. I always have a fixed blade knife within reach.
Great information !!!
Keep up the great work !!!
Thanks!
Great video Jason!
Best thing I’ve done is eliminate almost all the stuff sacks my gear came in to shed weight. You’d be surprised how much useless weight these sacks have when you add them all up
Lots of similarities. Great vid friend
Thanks for Sharing
Axeman is our hero.!
Great work brother
What was your EDC pack? The zipper bag, not the cinch bag. Thanks.
Hill people gear. Tarahumara
@@ONThree thanks! I need that bag.
@@toolman9081 I have this pack. Simply awesome.carry it with me 24/7....
Outstanding video!
Thanks!!
I prefer saws myself.
S.A. Wetterlings axes are no longer produced.
if you can't solve your problem, or at least, get to cover, with 7 shots, you'll never make it anyway. So the spare mag can go in an ankle pouch, with your other cards and the AA light. Put the gun in a velcroed-in kydex front pants pocket.. Have the option of velco or buttons to seal shut the pocket if you have to low crawl. Comfortable, CONCEALED, out of the way of the rifle (slung or not) and the pack harness. It's super fast to draw (starting hand in pocket). and out of the elements. In your other front pocket, have a money clip, currency, ID and your main credit card. No wallet, cause the pistol looks like a wallet-bulge.
Good tips!
Good video, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !
I like the hill people gear stuff but it is pretty heavy so I went back to a mystery ranch pack.
Is this a repost? I know I've seen this before.
I thought I've seen this before and reacted to it? Did you delete that one and just posted it again?
Is this a rerun?
I’ve miss placed my Swiss
This is gonna make somekne mad lol but i dont carry a tourniquet anymore, and kinda dint carry a lot of medical, at all. Not because it isnt important but its only useful if you have followup prepared or available. I dp carry things like gauze and bandages but everything else is a bandaid solution that requires professional help
Better carry an axe or a hatchet. For "DEFENCE" if you dont carry.
better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
But, to each his own.
walking staff more effective.
longer reach, and if you learn how to use properly deadly.
plus in some areas not allowed to carry axe .
See you for the next video in 17 minutes.... ! ;)
Kukri ?
Less is more!
You said moist😂
