I forgot to mention that in a small pouch on the canteen pouch I had a packet of water purification tablets. One on the backpack and one on the LBE. Also I made the mistake of filming the entire video in cinematic mode and this caused some of the items to not appear crystal clear on the table. Hope this helps to give some ideas out there. 👍
Hello 👋 my Canadian outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. I like what you did with your three tiered system. I am still refining mine. The first item in my pack is my Bible. Level 1 is my military web waist belt. Level 2 is my lightweight 8 pocket fishing vest and level 3 is my Kelty 26 liter backpack 🎒. Your video is very thought provoking. You did a great job. Stay safe out there. 😊
Allow me to make a suggestion. Something i was taught years ago in Ranger bat. Take 550 cord remove the inner cord. Tie your canteen to your belt then figure out how long you need to be able to drink. Then slip not the top of the canteen. In a perfect setup the canteen can be used but doesn't tough the ground if dropped. You be surprised how easy canteens disappear. We tied everything to our belt we didn't wanna lose. Just a suggestion but better men then me taught us this for a reason. I feel it wouldn't be right if i didn't pass it on.
@@richardhenry1969 Hey thanks so very much!!! I really appreciate that canteen tip and I’m definitely going to make that happen. The bush can do many things to kit and in no time it will swallow kit. Thank you brother!!!
I like your redundancy. I use the P.A.C.E. System: Primary Alternate Contingency Extra In all my packs, bags, and kits. There’s not necessarily four of everything because many things have multiple purposes. The Strike Force is an excellent piece of kit. 👍🏼 I always take flint and steel for my primary, and use the ferro rod as the alternate. Then there’s matches and a magnifying lens…. You get the idea 😎
Excellent presentation Sir. The micro kit had the exact bare minimum with real survival potential. Everything they stuff in those tins is cool but superfluous. Hat tip Sir.
Absolute great video. You explained everything very well. Clear to the point and awesome visuals of everything. Your videos are getting better and better. Keep up the good work brother.
One bit of kit you may have had on the 2nd water bottle but i didnt see. A GI stove. Alluminum $5 fits over metal cup. Thats my cook system that and a trangia. If i ran out of metalated sprits, just spak up some twigs. I saw your fire kit has all the usual suspects. But not a not so common one. A small bag weighs nothing of Clothes dryer lint. Pretty good ignition material. Depending on your cutting needs. A pruning saw a foot long 70 to 80° bend on the handle. I find i can cut larger stuff than with a laplander probably lighter too. Clearly you DO use your kit. A lot on you tube dont lol. From your selections weight is important to you. Good slection of kit. I like you 2 and 2 belt pack method of water distribution. Perhaps a fanny pack for all your pocket kit the type has a 25mm wide strap belt a few divissions to organise things. You could also put a food bar or 2 in there to🤷♂️. All the best
You have some great ideas in your list!! I use different packs throughout the year and when I moved my kit into this ruck for the video my sewing kit didn’t make the transition. I use a Canadian Forces surplus sewing kit to do repairs. My canteen pouches in the video have had sewing repair jobs done on them. I’ve got an alcohol stove I like to use in winter for melting snow and some bushcraft twig stoves I also like using. But for the video I just used my metal screen because of weight and size. Everything topped out at 40 lbs, and that’s always been my goal weight over the years. Have a great day my friend!
@SurvivalScout2024 I use a mix of Australian and Brit gear myself. And like yourself I try and keep the weight down. I did notice the 2nd water bottle pouch on the harness the collar sat lower and guessed some untold modifications or repairs. I have Alice for winter. Molle harness for summer a bit lighter. On that I have molle water bottle pouches that take a 1lt Nalgene with a titanium cup, gas bottle and on side zip pouch fold down lpg stove. I guess similar ages so we are both load weight concious and change kit about to. Interesting channel subbed.
The British surplus is great kit with the Molle pouches and gives lots of carrying options. Yes, the internal hem on my canteen pouches blew out from repeated use so I hand sewed it the best I could. The fanny pack suggestion in your original comment is a good idea. I do have the original woodland camouflaged fanny. Definitely gives carrying options! Thank you for subscribing!!! Appreciate your detailed comment!!!
Nice little video. I would wrap some 1" gorilla tape around those lighters. It makes a terrific fire starter., and it's duck tape, 1001 uses. Swap out two of those plastic canteens for fire proof stainless steel and save those tablets for when there is zero percent chance of starting a fire.
Good video, good content, I like the 3 tier method. One thing I might mention, your filter straw in the small pocket pouch, that is all it is, a filter, you called it a purifier, that only filters out particulates as well as E.Coli, Cryto, etc. a purifier does the same but also eliminates viruses, what you have doesn't filter viruses. Just something for those viewers that might be in third world countries watching this, more apt to need a purifier over just a filter. A lot of people I have found over the years do not really know there is a difference. Really enjoyed your video.
@@SurvivalScout2024 I also forgot to mention, after watching your video I went to your channel page and watched some others and you now have another subscriber. 😁
I just borrowed my wife’s scale 😁. I just moved this whole system into my Multicam gear with a few adjustments and this is my current weight with canteens topped up. Prepping my kit for backcountry scout. Backpack 26 lbs LBE 18 lbs Micro kit 0.8 lbs
@@tonya4157 I just jumped on the scale to give you an accurate number, and it’s 40 lbs almost bang on. That’s actually the weight I shoot for and I’ve been using that weight for a few years regularly with other packs. So my legs and lungs are well accustomed to it, and I can even run/jog small distances if needed. Glad you enjoyed it! That’s awesome!
Some like to carry aluminum foil. I have no use for it with the items I’m carrying. I considered it, but after thinking through some use case scenarios, I declined to include it. Thanks for watching my friend! Have a great day!!
I don’t think most people in their everyday lives will find Load Bearing Equipment very useful or practical outside of a combat zone (the exception to this will be pilots (possibly truckers) where a “vest” or LBE will make sense… as it’s shown that if it’s not attached directly to you… it won’t make it out of the vehicle/airframe). The British have a more practical approach in my opinion. They have a smock. Basically a heavy duty rugged jacket with many many pockets for gear carriage. A small pouch/tin with the essentials for on the body. More extensive and redundant equipment in the jacket. And a rucksack for longer term sustainment. This might be a more practical approach.
That is a very practical approach. I must admit this video is for the extreme…of course. I’ve done a smock survival item carry a while back but just touched on 15 items to carry. I like your idea and concept and it’s worth pursuing in a more in depth video. Thanks!!!
The bivy bag is made by Tennier Industries Inc. in woodland camouflage. It has a contract number and what looks like an NSN number as well. I believe it was unissued surplus

What is with the oblique camera angles? No one wants to see your 7 o'clock. Show your underwear, this is Survival! (300 kicks your modesty into the cotton kills pit). Get some NBC caps for your canteens (extra utility is good). Also where is your chemical suit and gas mask? CAT tourniquets are one time use and disposable which speaks to their poor construction with a plastic windlass... SOFTT-W. Povidone-Iodine wipes, Tegaderm, aquacil AG round out the medical. Grill makes no sense unless you have a stove and why not have a canteen stove? Micro survival kit benefit would from a Fresnel lens, smaller sun micro comp ii compass, add a fatwood handle to your firesteel, old ID wrapped in duct tape, cash, USB drive with encrypted important documents and photos, bobbin with braided Dyneema fishing line with a pair of weights and hooks, bandana, stuff all of that into a titanium lunchbox with handle (can be stainless steel but specified titanium so you know what to look for), put in a slightly larger pouch with a clear drop cloth and mylar blanket (Mors Kochanski super shelter).
