My granddaughter watch every week. She and I have built several of shelters in woods on my property.. she is 6 yrs old and has learned so much from your videos. I appreciate you and she loves her man in the woods.🐕🦺🇺🇲
My wife is “Amazing” If you ask her about her childhood she will talk about the time she spent in the garden and fishing 🎣 all with her Grandfather. I owe that man a lot because I have been blessed with the responsibility of loving the woman he created. I’ll thank you for creating the next generation of amazing women, just incase her future husband doesn’t have opportunity to meet the man that set her down that path 🙏
I looked this morning when I woke up, then randomly... then as soon as the video dropped, first I went to look.. not there, watched video... looked again and sold out.. you got lucky! Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐! Maybe one day for me.
The pocket knife that shawn has is a (78 ) not the 79, its just a woopsie no shade, so you don't buy the wrong one guys the actual 79 with the corkscrew on it is like $20 cheaper is why I mentioned and corrected it.., I carry a ranger grip 79 because (instead of having a screwdriver) on the bottom, (it's got a corkscrew), the one in this video ( is the 78 ) ( that's the only difference), it has the saw and everything and I use it for untying knots and I keep a little sail needle in the corkscrew that I shortened. Also for some reason the 79 always is $20 or more cheaper for whatever reason.
I'm a 70 something & knees & ankles take all the fun outofhiking/tracking/fishing now-a-days, but had a setup close to what you're advising here. Mine, in my 20s was bit heavier. Diff was paracord wasn't a common item & never heard of bankline. Sashcord, jute line, braided fishing line, &/or a lightweight rope (usually a 50ft len.). Used a folder, usually, and "carpenter's hatchet (straight blade w/a hammer peen) & an 18-20 inch machete. I forget what rest of gear was, but, there was a coffeepot tucked in somewhere. May have most tucked away, but, 40yrs past and my furry pard long gone w/most of the gear. Oh Well! Good vid, Corp.
I'm a little late to the party on Saint Patrick's Day here, I had to get some coffee before I can watch it's kind of my thing on Sunday, anyways happy Saint Patrick's day everybody!
Outstanding AF, Corporal! One of your best videos yet. You may have saved some poor souls life by making it. God bless and have a wonderful day. ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
For anyone wondering about or wanting more info on that assault pack - I had it in my left over military gear from my time in. I used to hike 2 stretches of the Appalachian Trail with my friend and former UA-cam AT hiker. He had some nice uktralite gear and all the latest fashions. I had my assault pack. I was able to fit food, my gray or geopress, hammock w attachments, woobie, spare socks, shirt and shorts, some minimal bushcraft gear… I think I came in around 20-25lbs.
This is the kind of information that is practical and stays out of the tacticool territory. Don't get me wrong, going out fully loaded for adventure is fun, but this is what I would have with me if things go south. It's like all of the edc videos where they have a US General tool box tucked into their Tardis sized pockets. I field dressed the last deer I shot with a $6 Cabelas branded pocket knife. Not my first choice, but it was in my pocket and saved me from having to take an extra trip back to my jeep.
I used to get made fun of for the saw on my Victorinox "Camping" knife. Well, I know of one guy who is happy for it. He fell rock climbing near my friend and I. I cut down a small tree to make a crutch to rapidly evacuate him out of the forest and to the hospital. That knife has been around the world with me and built or destroyed more things. I now carry its successor - same brand and style - while it rests in retirement on my desk at home - broken and reshaped can opener and short blade. All still functional, just a little less efficient.
The items to be included in any ‘survival’ kit seems to be ‘fluid’ in that we can always think of something else! I like your approach! Doing is the best teacher!
Great presentation! The only thing I would change is to pull the fero rid to you and hold the knife still. It’ll give you better control of where you are throwing your sparks and better control of that sharp edge. You actually did this at about 18 minutes in but it might be worth mentioning. I love these! Please keep them coming!
I really liked the mentality of this video. You don't have to have the best or most expensive gear to practice your skills or to take a course. I think more people need to hear that.
Maybe next time bring some pumpernickel, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut with thousand island dressing into the bush. No BS !! Just some rocking eats that all can relate to. I really like your shows, keep up the great work and never not enjoy yourself!
We love your videos! Our girls also enjoy watching them - it’s education and also has clean language. Whenever my girls ask, “What’s outstanding AF mean?”. Since I’m an Air Force veteran (I still have the paper cuts to prove it) they just think “AF” means “Air Force”. Great job, as always, Marine!
Thanks for the information. I've been building and giving get home bags to my siblings and nephews and nieces for years, using a similar equipment list. The first two I came up with were close to fifteen pounds, and pared it down to ten pounds afterwards, My family laughed at first, but most have ended up using the duct tape, poncho, fleece jacket or bandana from the bags as well as the water bottle. I added water purification tablets, a small ziplock bag w/ OTC meds and bandaids and a granola bar and put them in the Nalgene bottle. After watching your videos have replaced para-cord with bank line, works great when needed.
Personally I think 15 lbs is more appropriate and all purpose. If you're making it for a kid, that's one thing. Adults though? You can get a whole lot more and cover so many bases with that extra 5 lbs than limiting yourself to a one night emergency. My hunting/camping 3 day pack has everything I need minus food and comes in at about 16 lbs. I make it heavier when I go hiking to not get out too out of shape since I have a 60L pack for the AT. My 3 day pack though has all this and so much more to be far more comfortable and cover a variety of conditions (and redundancy). And of course, a Sawyer water filter. You can't rely on being able to boil water all the time. No idea how he left that out (unless I missed it).
The Gorilla clear repair tape fits the bill, but it only comes in 2 inch wide I believe. It's great because it sticks when cold or wet, and it has slightly serrated edges so it can be torn by hand like duct tape! It also doesn't become brittle when old like duct tape!! It's actually easy to tear in small strips, so it may still work, it would just be harder to carry. Thry may have a 1 inch wide one now though!!
Sean, all that you talked about, you've covered in your video library. If people would listen and remember, they would realize that 'gee, he covered that in this or that video'. Thanks for the reminder, and the fact that you now have all that info in one area.
I know you've done "what's in my pack" videos before, but this is a great refresher course. I was trying to figure out what to put into my pack for this spring and came up blank. Thank you, I needed this.
I really liked this one! No BS.. just straight info on the basic necessities without an agenda of selling or promoting specific gear. Thanks and keep the videos coming!! 👍
I’m considering myself your online student, i changed my approach to gear and improved my knots significantly. Thanks for these lessons, i’m happy to learn like this. Side effect: i don’t wanna go back to the city =)
I don't get to your channel often these days, but I consider your videos at the top of the short list of valuable survival and woodland skills videos. Thank you for the continued content!
This was a good reminder to check your edc bag regularly. I went through mine as I was watching and realized I had taken a few things out and not put them back. Thanks Shawn
Re the military duct tape/gun tape - when I was in, I used to keep a mini roll rolled onto a pen or pencil by splitting the 2" tape down the middle then rolling it on carefully and dog earring the end. Pull out another pen/pencil, do the same and you have a couple of 1" rolls of tape to use for whatever reason I needed.
Best Sunday morning vid in a long time. Informative and useful. The reason I started watching you in the first place. And, I didn't have to watch you eat breakfast 😅. Thanks!
Well done! Practical and lightweight. I did almost identical kits for my niece and nephew when they moved away. All of the stuff will fit into a large Jansport book bag and go totally unnoticed by most people. Thank you for your continued excellent content!👍
Kelly ,I watch your videos faithfully and the items you tell us to get ,I have in my car all the time as well as extra items in case of emergency . Thank you. From August Georgia
I found a Bic lighter in a lake once. It was in there for a whole and was all rusty. I pulled it out, blew on it and dried it out for about 10 minutes ( to be on the safe side) and it still worked. Bic never fails
I appreciate the info about the USGI brand poncho. I was never in the military but have been wanting a military style poncho to carry on trail walks/day hikes just in case since it can be rain gear, a shelter, etc. I already have a surplus poncho liner that I found at a thrift store (it has the tag with the military specs on it so I believe it is the real deal). The problem is that there are so many variations on Amazon/the Internet that I never know what is a good one that is as large as a military one, etc. To have someone who was in the military say that this one is just like the military version except for being a lighter color really helps especially since it is also less expensive than a lot of the ones you see online..
Ohhh man! That poncho sistem looks really interesting. Im absolutely checking it out. Great find there. Looking forward to the new projects and adventures. They are gonna be rad. Thanks for all the effort you put into this videos, its appreciated!
@stephenbarabas6286 can't be worse than what i already have ... lol. Thanks for the heads up. I would like to see it in action before i make any decision. It is a great find nonetheless. Rough around the edges i can work with.
Nephews should enjoy this one, 13, 11, 9. They each have a Condor compact assault pack to fill. We, together, yesterday made it out to our camping spot. We were surprised to find a large tree came down into camp, past the fire pit and into where we had hung our tarp back in September. We had an interesting discussion about widow makers.
Good presentation. The only thing I would have added would have been a little bit more about some kind of med kit. Even if it was just as simple as throwing in two or three alcohol wipes and using the tape for a Band-Aid. I think at least mentioning first aid or a Med kit would be helpful to remind people to think about it, even for day hikes. Overall, well done. 👍
20:02 Get a roll of the two inch military tape, and use a hacksaw to cut the roll in half to give two one inch thick rolls, then cut one of those in half to give two half-inch rolls. That'll give more flexibility of width options 👍👍👍👍
The mora bushcraft black is my favorite knife. The 90 degree spine is awesome. Mora blades are always super sharp. I use it to split small wood. And it’s affordable!
Regarding the tape, a couple years ago you showed folks how to wrap 1 inch wide strips of tape around the Bic lighter. I went a bit overboard on that idea using the 4 inch hundred mile an hour tape. I tote off 1 inch strips and did my lighter and one end of my ferro rod. I have about four wraps (maybe a couple feet) of a two inch wide strip on my knife sheath, and several wraps of 4 inch wide on my staff just below where I typically hold it. I live in the desert so getting the tape wet hasn't been a problem
I really enjoy your videos and I also want to say thank you for your service and sacrifices you have given our great country I am grateful for what yall do and again thank you
As a red seal roofer in Canada i can testify that any adhesives and tapes do not adhere when damp, dusty or cold. I try to avoid adhered products in such conditions and use mechanical fastenings or ballast instead. In less than ideal situations keeping the gorilla tape in your jacket will keep it warm until use at least increasing its effectiveness. Using heat sources to dry the substrate after cleaning can help but its usually an uphill struggle. If anyone finds tape that does i'll be amazed however my wife uses alien tape from Costco in the liquor store cooler for the shelf price tags and it sticks when cold. Does pine pitch stick to a damp substrate like a poncho with a hole in it to repair it ?. I dont think there's one product that sticks in all three circumstances, got me thinking though.
Thank you for the load out video. I always enjoy seeing what different people choose to put in them and WHY. For me the WHY can be more important than all the WHATS. If you don't have a GOOD reason for it, then it really isn't necessary. Like you I firmly believe that everything should have multiple purposes. The only thing I would personally change. I'd add an emergency med kit of some type. Even if it's a small ankle kit. They can be light and compact, with great benefit for your, or others, survival. Overall a great kit. Thanks again for sharing. Semper Fi
I'm just up to the bit where he's talking about the bank line vs paracord. I know there's paracord that is designed for survival situations that has fishing line and other cool stuff inside as well. I'm just thinking that you could pick normal or survival paracord.... or both..... pick an option. Where I'm heading with this: you would be very surprised about how much paracord you can actually fit down the inside of that tube of bankline! It's a LOT!!! That's what I would do, fill up the "waisted" space in your rucksack will something that is very, very useful 😊
I do a lot of hammock camping using a tarp above me in case it rains thanks to your videos but I'd like to see you do one in your videos thanks corporal!
I found one. Go to his channel page, then go to playlists, click the "overnighters" playlist. "Return to the secret pond and campfire chat" is the video. It's number 15 on the playlist! Cheers!
Another fire starter that is not affected by wind is a plasma lighter, especially the ones shaped like a cigarette lighter within a waterproof container.
Very good instructive and informative video. 9 of the 10 C's are shown individually. The eyelet in the awl of the Victorinox Ranger Grip 79 knife can be used for sewing. Thus, a heavy duty sewing needle. The 10th C. Bravo!
Great gear load out corporal. Everything you have, we know it's been tried and tested. If i was stranded on a desert island, that's the kit I'd want. Plus, corporal, too lol
Huuuuyyyyyyyyyyyy son exelentes sus videos soy colombiano pero lo q usted explica con las manos las capto lijero también Fuy militar pero ver me haze recordar mis tiempos de contra guerrillero ejército de Colombia
Good breakdown of the gear needed for your classes. I appreciate the more realistic approach of a day hike or hunt going wrong, more than the extreme Rambo stuff. Your cup and bottle sets sure go fast. I checked about an hour in. Good for you!
For all of the people complaining about how much this stuff costs, I built a kit almost identical to this that I have been using for years. The bottle and cup are aluminum, and found at a goodwill. As was the cheap pack. A $12 Walmart brand fabric/ mylar blanket. A $9 mora, and $15 used Sak from eBay. $8 Ferro rod. Used poncho and liner from a gun show. Random bits here and there. All told, easily under a hundred dollars. If you know your skills, you can get by. Upgrade as you go if you feel you need to. But don't let price be a hurdle. Get out in the woods.
Loved the episode! I have always wanted to see you actually pack a pack. Very interesting strategy. Flat things and soft things against your back; bulky, hard, non-flat things on the other side. Use the straps outside the pack to balance the load and increase the pack's "size". We noobs need more exposure to the very basic things, like packing the pack. Thanks for the great channel!
You're better off watching hiking channels for those type of things. A lot of thru hikers for Appalachian Trail and such go into great detail with this. Keep in mind, they're doing it for weeks or months at a time, excluding food resupply. It's a much better guide for packing due to the length of time. I do hunting/camping and longer hiking, so my 3 day hunting pack stays mostly packed permanently as an emergency bag. Granted, it's over 15 lbs, but that's not a big deal for me. I often say similar advice on hiking channels - Don't solely focus on hiking channels, you can learn a lot of from hunting or prepper channels on gear. An example of this is my Kuiu (a hunting company) pack is 60L, absurdly comfortable, can pack out a deer, and is still under 5 lbs for the pack. I've seen hikers pimp packs that are 1 lb lighter, but super fragile. Most of them have a 10-20 lb weight limit, but not everyone can or wants to go ultra light (and I think 10 lbs is too light). Now both my packs are filled with a mixture of gear that works for every situation possible (granted, I've spent a lot of money).
Nice job! This popped up on my feed because I'm all about simple kits for day hikes that go wrong, and I'm enjoying your recent videos. For day hikers, have you thought about trying out some smaller ferro rods? I've had a lot of success with the Bayite keychain ferro rod. Just something to play around with. I've been caring around a poncho ever since I saw your 1st video several years and recently switched to a Syl nylon poncho to shave 1lb off of my kit. Not super bushcrafty but still pretty effective. Keep it up!
I've always cut the hundred mile an hour tape in half and wrapped it around lighters, knives, etc.... Not as convenient as a 1" roll of tape but it works.
The overnight videos are awesome but Ike it when you mix in the gear videos every now and then.Great to learn about new stuff.Definitly gonna check out that poncho.Keep up the great videos.This is the only channel that I watch every single video.
I bought a Molle 2 patrol pack last year while looking to augment my Get Home LBE setup. Works great as my drop of at camp bag. Tarp, Snugpack jungle bag, pot, food, extra clothes, etc... My belt / harness kit contains minimal survival / security items so I wouldn't be SOL w/o the pack.
Used do some winter mountaineering/back country skiing. Used to duct tape orange paracord to my Bic lighter and wore it around my neck. Kept the lighter warm and was easy to find if dropped in the snow.
Not sure if you would want to but an old trick we used to do on active duty. Was to take issue 90mph tape to a metal band saw to make 1 rolls from the one.

My granddaughter watch every week. She and I have built several of shelters in woods on my property.. she is 6 yrs old and has learned so much from your videos. I appreciate you and she loves her man in the woods.🐕🦺🇺🇲
Your a good Paw paw
That's wassup
My wife is “Amazing” If you ask her about her childhood she will talk about the time she spent in the garden and fishing 🎣 all with her Grandfather. I owe that man a lot because I have been blessed with the responsibility of loving the woman he created. I’ll thank you for creating the next generation of amazing women, just incase her future husband doesn’t have opportunity to meet the man that set her down that path 🙏
That's so cool,I can tell you're a good grandma. God bless you both
❤ nice one man x
Been sitting on Etsy hitting refresh for an hour... FINALLY got a cup and bottle set! 👍
I looked this morning when I woke up, then randomly... then as soon as the video dropped, first I went to look.. not there, watched video... looked again and sold out.. you got lucky! Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐! Maybe one day for me.
@@jasongarling20 When my final, "refresh" showed the sets, 35 had already sold. Luck to say the least!
The pocket knife that shawn has is a (78 ) not the 79, its just a woopsie no shade, so you don't buy the wrong one guys the actual 79 with the corkscrew on it is like $20 cheaper is why I mentioned and corrected it..,
I carry a ranger grip 79 because (instead of having a screwdriver) on the bottom, (it's got a corkscrew), the one in this video ( is the 78 )
( that's the only difference),
it has the saw and everything and I use it for untying knots and I keep a little sail needle in the corkscrew that I shortened. Also for some reason the 79 always is $20 or more cheaper for whatever reason.

Good vid, Corp.
I am 76YO, so what you say strikes a cord with me. I have 10 acres and that is about all I can handle now, if that!😆
My guy just lit his tent stake on fire. I was no way I just watched that. Learn something new everyday. Thanks corporal
Maybe try to spot some litter first..
And probably don't want to cook food on that fire.
I'm a little late to the party on Saint Patrick's Day here, I had to get some coffee before I can watch it's kind of my thing on Sunday, anyways happy Saint Patrick's day everybody!

Thank you for teaching us this information.
I always appreciate how you're not a mouth breather in the close up cuts of the gear. That drives me nuts on other channels
The items to be included in any ‘survival’ kit seems to be ‘fluid’ in that we can always think of something else!
I like your approach! Doing is the best teacher!
great video. nice looking kit. one item l would bring is a whistle. helps you get found quicker. stay safe.
Happy St. Patrick's day.
Practical, straightforward, and to the point! Excellent
Great presentation! The only thing I would change is to pull the fero rid to you and hold the knife still. It’ll give you better control of where you are throwing your sparks and better control of that sharp edge. You actually did this at about 18 minutes in but it might be worth mentioning.

Hi Shawn, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺 , thank you for your time to make these videos, .
I got shivers down my spine... I could hear the sand in that pocket knife... WOOOAH...😵💫
Hooah❤. Corporal, in this crazy world, you give me peace. God bless America.
We love your videos! Our girls also enjoy watching them - it’s education and also has clean language. Whenever my girls ask, “What’s outstanding AF mean?”. Since I’m an Air Force veteran (I still have the paper cuts to prove it) they just think “AF” means “Air Force”. Great job, as always, Marine!

The Gorilla clear repair tape fits the bill, but it only comes in 2 inch wide I believe. It's great because it sticks when cold or wet, and it has slightly serrated edges so it can be torn by hand like duct tape! It also doesn't become brittle when old like duct tape!! It's actually easy to tear in small strips, so it may still work, it would just be harder to carry. Thry may have a 1 inch wide one now though!!
It's a balancing act between mobility and fully prepared.
Sean, all that you talked about, you've covered in your video library. If people would listen and remember, they would realize that 'gee, he covered that in this or that video'. Thanks for the reminder, and the fact that you now have all that info in one area.
I appreciate the simple, common man approach.
I know you've done "what's in my pack" videos before, but this is a great refresher course. I was trying to figure out what to put into my pack for this spring and came up blank. Thank you, I needed this.

The problem is that there are so many variations on Amazon/the Internet that I never know what is a good one that is as large as a military one, etc. To have someone who was in the military say that this one is just like the military version except for being a lighter color really helps especially since it is also less expensive than a lot of the ones you see online..
Ohhh man!
That poncho sistem looks really interesting.
Im absolutely checking it out. Great find there.
Looking forward to the new projects and adventures. They are gonna be rad.
Thanks for all the effort you put into this videos, its appreciated!
@stephenbarabas6286 can't be worse than what i already have ... lol.
Thanks for the heads up.
I would like to see it in action before i make any decision.
It is a great find nonetheless. Rough around the edges i can work with.
Nephews should enjoy this one, 13, 11, 9. They each have a Condor compact assault pack to fill. We, together, yesterday made it out to our camping spot. We were surprised to find a large tree came down into camp, past the fire pit and into where we had hung our tarp back in September. We had an interesting discussion about widow makers.
Good presentation. The only thing I would have added would have been a little bit more about some kind of med kit. Even if it was just as simple as throwing in two or three alcohol wipes and using the tape for a Band-Aid. I think at least mentioning first aid or a Med kit would be helpful to remind people to think about it, even for day hikes.
Overall, well done. 👍
20:02 Get a roll of the two inch military tape, and use a hacksaw to cut the roll in half to give two one inch thick rolls, then cut one of those in half to give two half-inch rolls. That'll give more flexibility of width options 👍👍👍👍
You have some awesome kit on Etsy.I received my green hoodie.Many thanks 👍
This kind of video never gets old for me. Reminds me of when I first started watching your channel. Great stuff! Thanks so much, Corporal!
He's never boring always informative!
More proof you don’t need a ton of gear to survive a few days. Knowledge is the key.
Been camping for a few days this week so this is a good way to round out the trip for us. 😊
The mora bushcraft black is my favorite knife. The 90 degree spine is awesome. Mora blades are always super sharp. I use it to split small wood. And it’s affordable!
Excellent. Thanks for keeping it simple. Intent, is an excellent word cause most of us pack our fears without intent. Keep em coming, sir!
This was a great video, a truly welcome blast from the CC past with a tried and true refinement of gear.
Regarding the tape, a couple years ago you showed folks how to wrap 1 inch wide strips of tape around the Bic lighter. I went a bit overboard on that idea using the 4 inch hundred mile an hour tape. I tote off 1 inch strips and did my lighter and one end of my ferro rod. I have about four wraps (maybe a couple feet) of a two inch wide strip on my knife sheath, and several wraps of 4 inch wide on my staff just below where I typically hold it. I live in the desert so getting the tape wet hasn't been a problem
I really enjoy your videos and I also want to say thank you for your service and sacrifices you have given our great country I am grateful for what yall do and again thank you
As a red seal roofer in Canada i can testify that any adhesives and tapes do not adhere when damp, dusty or cold. I try to avoid adhered products in such conditions and use mechanical fastenings or ballast instead. In less than ideal situations keeping the gorilla tape in your jacket will keep it warm until use at least increasing its effectiveness. Using heat sources to dry the substrate after cleaning can help but its usually an uphill struggle. If anyone finds tape that does i'll be amazed however my wife uses alien tape from Costco in the liquor store cooler for the shelf price tags and it sticks when cold. Does pine pitch stick to a damp substrate like a poncho with a hole in it to repair it ?. I dont think there's one product that sticks in all three circumstances, got me thinking though.
One of your best videos yet great gear selection 0:37
Very good episode 👍
A mini first aid kit wouldn't go a miss.
Thank you for the load out video.
I always enjoy seeing what different people choose to put in them and WHY.
For me the WHY can be more important than all the WHATS.
If you don't have a GOOD reason for it, then it really isn't necessary.
Like you I firmly believe that everything should have multiple purposes.
The only thing I would personally change. I'd add an emergency med kit of some type. Even if it's a small ankle kit. They can be light and compact, with great benefit for your, or others, survival.
Overall a great kit. Thanks again for sharing.

Corporal you may have to get the 2 in roll and cut it in half. I’ve had to go that route several times over the years.
I'm just up to the bit where he's talking about the bank line vs paracord. I know there's paracord that is designed for survival situations that has fishing line and other cool stuff inside as well. I'm just thinking that you could pick normal or survival paracord.... or both..... pick an option. Where I'm heading with this: you would be very surprised about how much paracord you can actually fit down the inside of that tube of bankline! It's a LOT!!! That's what I would do, fill up the "waisted" space in your rucksack will something that is very, very useful 😊
Great gear video. Thank you sir
I do a lot of hammock camping using a tarp above me in case it rains thanks to your videos but I'd like to see you do one in your videos thanks corporal!
I found one. Go to his channel page, then go to playlists, click the "overnighters" playlist. "Return to the secret pond and campfire chat" is the video. It's number 15 on the playlist! Cheers!
Another fire starter that is not affected by wind is a plasma lighter, especially the ones shaped like a cigarette lighter within a waterproof container.
Very good instructive and informative video. 9 of the 10 C's are shown individually. The eyelet in the awl of the Victorinox Ranger Grip 79 knife can be used for sewing. Thus, a heavy duty sewing needle. The 10th C. Bravo!
Great gear load out corporal. Everything you have, we know it's been tried and tested. If i was stranded on a desert island, that's the kit I'd want. Plus, corporal, too lol
Huuuuyyyyyyyyyyyy son exelentes sus videos soy colombiano pero lo q usted explica con las manos las capto lijero también Fuy militar pero ver me haze recordar mis tiempos de contra guerrillero ejército de Colombia
Outstanding af again Shawn I can't wait to see what going on in the future
Great thought another Sunday drop with some very useful practical outdoor survival techniques and cooking.As always thanks Corporal...
Thanks for sharing this video with us, lots of useful tips and knowledge. My kids and I enjoy all of your videos, we've learned a lot from you.
Good breakdown of the gear needed for your classes. I appreciate the more realistic approach of a day hike or hunt going wrong, more than the extreme Rambo stuff. Your cup and bottle sets sure go fast. I checked about an hour in. Good for you!
For all of the people complaining about how much this stuff costs, I built a kit almost identical to this that I have been using for years. The bottle and cup are aluminum, and found at a goodwill. As was the cheap pack. A $12 Walmart brand fabric/ mylar blanket. A $9 mora, and $15 used Sak from eBay. $8 Ferro rod. Used poncho and liner from a gun show. Random bits here and there. All told, easily under a hundred dollars. If you know your skills, you can get by. Upgrade as you go if you feel you need to. But don't let price be a hurdle. Get out in the woods.
Man i friggin miss this channel!! Life has been so gnarly. Glad to be back. I will be binge watching. Appreciate you Corporal!
Loved the episode! I have always wanted to see you actually pack a pack. Very interesting strategy. Flat things and soft things against your back; bulky, hard, non-flat things on the other side. Use the straps outside the pack to balance the load and increase the pack's "size". We noobs need more exposure to the very basic things, like packing the pack. Thanks for the great channel!
You're better off watching hiking channels for those type of things. A lot of thru hikers for Appalachian Trail and such go into great detail with this. Keep in mind, they're doing it for weeks or months at a time, excluding food resupply. It's a much better guide for packing due to the length of time. I do hunting/camping and longer hiking, so my 3 day hunting pack stays mostly packed permanently as an emergency bag. Granted, it's over 15 lbs, but that's not a big deal for me. I often say similar advice on hiking channels - Don't solely focus on hiking channels, you can learn a lot of from hunting or prepper channels on gear. An example of this is my Kuiu (a hunting company) pack is 60L, absurdly comfortable, can pack out a deer, and is still under 5 lbs for the pack. I've seen hikers pimp packs that are 1 lb lighter, but super fragile. Most of them have a 10-20 lb weight limit, but not everyone can or wants to go ultra light (and I think 10 lbs is too light). Now both my packs are filled with a mixture of gear that works for every situation possible (granted, I've spent a lot of money).
When All Else Fails Amateur (HAM) Radio. There are radio repeaters all across the Rocky Mountains. A personal locator beacon also recommended.
Flex Tape, not sure about extreme cold but moisture and dust won’t affect it, tricky to cut though🤙🏼
"Outstanding " good video
I have two of those tarps in my backpack. Plus I have two for my large canvas tarps. They work good. One is a ground cloth and the other a lean too.
Always a good sunday....
Once again. Job well done Battle.
Thank you for an awesome video. Love watching you every week
Nice job! This popped up on my feed because I'm all about simple kits for day hikes that go wrong, and I'm enjoying your recent videos. For day hikers, have you thought about trying out some smaller ferro rods? I've had a lot of success with the Bayite keychain ferro rod. Just something to play around with. I've been caring around a poncho ever since I saw your 1st video several years and recently switched to a Syl nylon poncho to shave 1lb off of my kit. Not super bushcrafty but still pretty effective. Keep it up!
I've always cut the hundred mile an hour tape in half and wrapped it around lighters, knives, etc.... Not as convenient as a 1" roll of tape but it works.
The overnight videos are awesome but Ike it when you mix in the gear videos every now and then.Great to learn about new stuff.Definitly gonna check out that poncho.Keep up the great videos.This is the only channel that I watch every single video.
I bought a Molle 2 patrol pack last year while looking to augment my Get Home LBE setup. Works great as my drop of at camp bag. Tarp, Snugpack jungle bag, pot, food, extra clothes, etc... My belt / harness kit contains minimal survival / security items so I wouldn't be SOL w/o the pack.
Used do some winter mountaineering/back country skiing. Used to duct tape orange paracord to my Bic lighter and wore it around my neck. Kept the lighter warm and was easy to find if dropped in the snow.
I love my Molle II Patrol pack. It’s all I need in the summer. I like it better than the Assault pack tbh.
Thank you for sharing the bug out bag
Not sure if you would want to but an old trick we used to do on active duty. Was to take issue 90mph tape to a metal band saw to make 1 rolls from the one.
Great videos keep up the great work
Once again keeping things simple. I love the dramatic back packing music. Stay safe.
The bandanna (by whatever name) can be folded up to be a comfort item as a pillow. That is beside all the other uses Sean has said.
