The only few times I stranded myself in the middle of nowhere is when I’ve hurt myself. One time I could barely move. No way I was building a shelter or fire...I painfully crawled up under a tree, wrapped myself up I a Snugpak Jungle blanket and started popping pain pills. I later managed to get inside my MMSS Bivy and spent the night and half the next day before I could get myself back up on the trail and hauled out. Simple and easy has been best for me when I needed it...
That's the reality of an experienced, prepared adventurer. You have what u need, or the skills and smarts to avoid bad scenarios. But there's always risk of a disabling injury etc. especially if u r a thrill seeker lol ! So that is what is most important to be primed for and I can't agree more that simple is best for all of your kit.
Always appreciate it when people show your packs. And I agree, it is different every time I go out, in what I bring. But the majority of the time I try to go minimal. NO redundancies.
I have been looking to the hiking community for weight cutting tips, one of the best pieces of advice I’ve heard from them is “You pack your fears” a close second is “Ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain” The most important thing I’ve learned from bush craft and prepping community is “Multi Purpose” every item has to earn it’s spot in your bag and if it only does one thing, then is there a multi purpose item in the pack that already does that job 👍 Finally I used all the survival TV shows to learn “FOOD is Important” Every show out there demonstrates how difficult it is to procure nourishment from an unfamiliar area. I pack food heavy “I clearly fear starvation 😬👍” I’ve read stories about Frontiersmen who said the American west is where you go to starve and they would hire groups to burry food along their path to guarantee their success (These were people who lived every day what we play on the weekends) every year a certain percentage of every wild animal population gets sick or starves - I don’t care how smart we think we are we are not built to survive like an animal so we must be smart enough to understand how to thrive like a human 👊
I run cold, so that sleep system wouldn’t work for me personally. I’d be curious to see you live out of it for 48 hours. The gaps I see (at least it would be for me) beefed up sleep system, extra clothing, I didn’t see much for water storage and or transportation, I saw a straw system and then one container. (May have missed it though) Personally I like collapsible bags for water and in line water filtration. For food, I’d need more than I saw. Even a few of the bigger tuna foil packs and some freeze dried something scaled down to pack well.
i have ultralight gear when the goal is hiking and moving, and not ultralight gear for when the goal is not covering loads of ground and more hanging out. :).
10:34 I would go ahead and unplug that cable. Way too easy to fold that connector over if your pack gets bumped or dropped, or if you drop the powerpack while taking it out like you’re doing there. Possibly rendering both the cable and the powerpack useless. Just coil the cable up and use a ranger band to strap it to the powerpack so they don’t get separated. That all said, it takes almost no room or weight to throw in another cable. I’d make it one of the hydra cables that has one end with a USB-C, Apple, and micro-USB. That way you’re covered for anything you need, and anything your friends might need.
That's a great set up Chris! You seem to have all bases covered (unsurprisingly). The only thing that I might add, would be a good pair of polarized sunglasses, and perhaps a small fishing kit. If you come across a body of water in your travels, both would be of use. Great video!
Two tarps (arcturis and poncho).... id probably ditch the bivy and utilize more of a ranger roll setup. You do need a second container and im not sure if your kleen canteen is single wall or not. The only other major issues i see is probably the way its packed. The fire kit alone looks like itd be half the size if you took it out of the pouch..... the rest is personal redundancys like the ties, clips, and what not... you can find that laying around🤷♂️. Personally, i keep some tent stakes so no big deal. The techlok on the power bank is a nice idea, might find a way to replicate that myself. What i would add is a waterproofing bag to not only protect your gear, but it can also be functional as a good pillow or even a bucket depending on the make. As to the sleeping system, my current setup contains and inflatable pad, poncho liner, grabber blanket, a tarp, and a foresters quilt... and that will get me 3 seasons where im at. Rolls up to maybe an 8in roll across the bottom of my bag and maybe 5lbs total. Then ive still got a poncho and my onewind shelter if im feeling boujie.
🎉 Happy Easter Monday! Chris , I have always stuck by the rule i learned in the boy scouts. And then again i pack what i want and don't stress out about it. Once I packed in three cases beer , one fifth wild turkey ,one fifth Jameson, one fifth stoli , one fifth Tanguay gin. 49 lbs food including steaks potatoes onions and extra beans and bacon sausage 5lbs of flour and cornmeal . Mixers and two weeks worth of clothes and all of my climbing gear . A bunch of us college kids decided to go climbing in pisgah National Forest and climb for two weeks lol😅 it was a riot a damn good time ! Took me three trips packing it all in ( about 1 1/2 miles to back side of looking glass rock. 😊🎉 spent one heck of couple weeks spring break . Never to be forgotten. Worth every ounce of sweat and tears . Then I've gotten completely austere about a two nighter with a gallon of water and a poncho and a woobi and my knife . Some parachord and two packs of LRPS and my hunting pistol 10 rounda of ammo. . . . But if you want a party you party if you want to bushcraft bushes the do what you want . You just have to pay the price.
Set up my backpack for a Scout Eagle project. Built a fire, Gathered sticks, used a cardboard box and covered everything with layers of foil and placed hot coals inside, a whole chicken on a stick rack covered in foil above and inserted into my backpack. Then a 6 mile hike in one direction and we ate the chicken and hiked back. I wore the pack most of the way and only a tiny portion of the pack browned. Like 3/8th round but the pack held up. Good tasting chicken over hot wood coals.
Context is key. Different situs call for diff kit. I have a core kit that goes with me no matter what & the rest I swap out depending on time of year, conditions & terrain expected etc.
I usually pack for the long haul unless it's a quick in and out. This is usually about the time I'm exchanging the wool blanket for the woobie and that stays with me till September-October. Did you weigh your pack with the water bottle full or empty?
Anywhere we go 1 or 2 more people might end up in a survival situation with us so we pack for the long survival stay or walk. The rule? Pack for the long event and dump what is not needed if it is not a long event. This way if plans include one or two others you have the means to carry extra and provide extra or trade. In our case we would be way to vulnerable so adding one or two others likley will be key. Indeed we could skimp enough for 3 more people. Key is each has a fishing chest pack of survival items that would stay wearing all the time except maybe for sleeping. This way if we need to get lost without time to gather our gear we have one last set of items in chest packs so small likely no one would bother to go after them. Primarily items for water, fire, ChapStic, compas, shelter, knive and bits of First-Aid, cordage etc. They are stored inside the packs and would be put on making room for other items like food/snacks that may be present.
I'd keep the Magnacut, keep the saw and swap the rest of the blades for a small axe or long handled hatchet which doubles as your personal defense. I would consider that to be more efficient use of wieght,space and number of tools to handle and maintain.
Great video and great set up Chris, if it was me I would go for something like the snugpak jungle bag instead of the Mylar type bag as it has the built in mosquito net and maybe something like a grayl water filter in a small pot/nesting cup to boil water rather than the big klean kanteen bottle, it would be cool to see you do camp trail video and then you can see what you used and what you didn't so you can improve your kit.Keep up the great work fella you are informative and always think out side the box!
That's cool Chris, wearing a peaked cap will keep the mosquito net off your face and keep any biting insects from spoiling a decent sleep. @@preparedmind101
Did a 20mile hike with a 64oz klean canteen in a side pouch and nothing to balance it Never again ill take the weight to add another 64 oz but it absolutely has to be counterbalanced
@preparedmind101 id still run the bottle centerline and move somethinf lighter to the outside But i i also don't like running tools in the inner pockets
The big saw is a great idea. But then I should also have a hatchet. Because for me it's easier to walk than to split a stump with a knife, even one as proficient at this task as the JessX is.
With that many fire starters I'd say at least put them in different places. Keychain, pants, sleeping bag, etc. The odds of one of those getting lost or damaged and the others being ok when they're all in the same bag is pretty slim. I'd be more redundant with flashlights than firestarters since those will all go dead even in ideal conditions.
That is a good base pack . Not sure you need zombi or alien specialist items, They do add weight. Nice saw do you find it better than the folding style. Thanks Chris . Take care .
I went from a 45L pack (SOG Barrage) to a 24L pack (SOG Ninja) I thought the 45L was too big, too heavy, I thought the Ninja was awesome for a daypack but not really suitable for a BOB (but may work for a minimalist) the biggest downsides to both these packs are the shoulder straps..they are just not gonna cut it, they are not comfortable for any length of time, I had the Ninja loaded out at 25lbs and since it didn't have a waist belt all the weight was on my shoulders and even just walking around in the home with it on for 20 min was terrible, worked good at 15lbs with a 10x 10 sorta lightweight tarp, some cordage and stakes, a 40oz Kanteen, a small Stanley cook pot, some gloves, a alcohol stove with pot stand, and a sweater stuffed in, But now I found the Highlander Forces 33L Rucksack in 1000D polyester from Military 1st in the UK, with water resistant liner and I added a Brandit Cross MOLLE pouch on the front of the pack basically turning it into a "Expedition" style pack with two side pockets that will hold 40oz Klean Kanteens and a center front pocket, also has a pocket in the lid, and it has webbing on the bottom for a bed roll
My own pack choice is the maxpedition falcon 2. My saw is the bahco laplander .my Wall mart ,one piece full tang hatchet out chops ANY KNIFE . ( professionally sharpened ) I really liked the double edge bench made dagger . The usmc improved bivvy is the best bivvy bag ( bug net included) Your fire kit is WAYYY too big . ONE big ferro rod , 2 bic lighters wrapped in waxed jute and gorilla tape. 1 sere strip roll and a few tinder quicks . Your shelter kit is poor ... Jungle knots ridge line , 10x10 aquaquest tarp ... Buffalo sleep system ( usmc improved bivvy outside it ) I love the zubat ... My fixed blade is the mora garberg carbon multi. mount ....i Carry Sak ranger too .plus Knipex mini combination pliers.. Grayl geopress filter ... Stainless steel nalgene with tbs 750 ml nesting bushpot . Millbank bag,... Snacks of choice . My head lamp is still the olight h1r nova .... full roll of no.36 bank line.... THE MORE YOU KNOW THE LESS YOU CARRY .. I carry a lot .😂
Basic but important: at least one pair of extra skivvies and two pairs of socks. You have plenty of room for them and the weight is negligible. Learned that in the boy scouts and it has saved me many time.
Just looked on sabra gear website and they’re not making that pack. I bought one and all the pouches and the shoulder pouch after u reviewed it years ago. Only used it once. Wonder what it’s worth now?
You pack a lot of iron. So did I when I was young and much stronger. 1 medium knife, 1 hex ferro rod and I small saw. More room for food , cloths and shelter and titanium mess kit.
Prettygood day pack, I might want a bit more cordage. I have a Gerber MK lll tied to the front of mine, those damn beasties can be a pain in the ass!😄light and practical a good philosophy.
I agree 100% there is no one pack that is the end all for all. It’s all situationally based. What works for someone in the Northeast may not work for someone in the south. My skill set is different than your’s. Weather conditions, health, finances all play a roll. Your pack to me is a great pack for your specific purpose. It will sustain you for a few days. I also agree that you should have added more cordage. The only thing I don’t see and didn’t see you mention is probably the most important thing missed! Toilet paper! Haha
You only need Jesus and you are good for eternity! Find room in your pack and more importantly room in your heart for the bible. God loves you! Am Yisrael Chai!
you'll be carrying it, so it's not my problem. My only suggestion is to spend time reducing the weight. You're not in the military. You may cheat. Think plastic bags instead of canvas bags. Do you need 2 ferro rods? Do you need all those patches and product labels etc.
This dude has way too much shit and not enough stuff at the same time. Be careful listening to “survival” guys who go into the woods by their house to make kit videos…

Bankline and an arbor knot makes the best zip tie and works great for shelter construction.

I like going back and watching your old kit and pack builds 🤘
i have ultralight gear when the goal is hiking and moving, and not ultralight gear for when the goal is not covering loads of ground and more hanging out. :).
I like your idea of robust, multiple use gear over flimsey ultra-light gear! just a personal preference.
Thanks for the video Chris I really enjoyed it!

Nice set up man....I have a similar pack set up based off the 10 C's of survival....thanks again for another awesome video 🎥 😊

I like it. You’re correct, no one kit fits all.

Always bring an extra cable for your power unit! Also how are you sharpening your knives?
Did i miss cordage? Or is it not necessary? Great set-up brother
Nevermind, spoke to soon
Meds in an appropriate container and spare reading glasses. Some glasses fold. Or a magnifying glass.

14:50 Love the OG Jess-X.
the Zubat could be replaced by the Sugowaza which could help in felling bigger trees or pruning bigger branches
I want to be able to see more better - offensive/defensive --- 7x42 binoculars, wide field of view, good night vision.
I'd keep the Magnacut, keep the saw and swap the rest of the blades for a small axe or long handled hatchet which doubles as your personal defense. I would consider that to be more efficient use of wieght,space and number of tools to handle and maintain.

Rather have a heavier pack that has the gear that is more durable and longer lasting
@preparedmind101 is anyone still selling PM101 patches? Do you have any I can buy? 😂 I wanna put one on my model 23 pack.

I think everyone would enjoy a video with you and Will doing an over-nighter.
Cool video
I'm very much a novice but I would want 1 or 2 more lights as well as back up batteries . Thanks for all you do .
This doesn't account for what you have as EDC.
What brand of backpack?
Sabra Gear but they aren't making those anymore
Prettygood day pack, I might want a bit more cordage. I have a Gerber MK lll tied to the front of mine, those damn beasties can be a pain in the ass!😄light and practical a good philosophy.
Ah the enigma of the perfect pack... it is quite possible but becomes probably too heavy, which then you sacrifice and it becomes no longer.
Maybe I missed it but what about water purification? Water should be first priority.
I think he mentioned boiling water when he showed the water bottle.
Boil water in the Kc
There's also a filter straw packed where the protein bars were
cool
Nice set up, I'd definitely include tent stakes, more cordage, a dry bag and more calories
I need one Ultralight tent stakes because the ones I lent my son didn't come back. Those I can carve from sticks pretty fast.
That is a great looking pack. What brand is it?
Sabra Gear. But they haven't made any in a while.
@@preparedmind101Thanks. It is what I figured, as the logo looked like theirs. TOTAL bummer they don't make that bag anymore.

4:10 Chris Almighty :)
Looks like you are thinking things out.
The pioneers traveled with alit of stuff they packed what they needed
Think ya got the amount about right.i know a British commander who carries 120lb pack, no thanks.
No ilbe pack?
Not for about 8 years
Did I miss it or did he not tell us how much that pack weighs? That's the most important info.
You missed it. It was about 24lbs
Nice pack. I would add extra pair socks/underwear, dude wipes and sunblock. Bug spray too if summertime. Another backup light? Love the channel!
You only need Jesus and you are good for eternity!
Find room in your pack and more importantly room in your heart for the bible.
God loves you!
Am Yisrael Chai!
you'll be carrying it, so it's not my problem. My only suggestion is to spend time reducing the weight. You're not in the military. You may cheat. Think plastic bags instead of canvas bags. Do you need 2 ferro rods? Do you need all those patches and product labels etc.
This dude has way too much shit and not enough stuff at the same time. Be careful listening to “survival” guys who go into the woods by their house to make kit videos…
How many knives do you need? That fire kit is huge. Dope backpack and setup though.
