      Yes, that's what I learned too, along with carrying actual bait with you. I'll throw in my two pennies worth as well here and say...I take a drinking straw and fill it with Berkley's Crappie Nibbles, and melt both ends shut. There's really no sense or excuse for not having 10 to 15 of those little things in every fishing kit. The last thing I want to be doing is hunting for bait so I can fish.

    Hi, as an ex 3 Para soldier from the sixties I am very familiar with the 58 pattern webbing and the bergen. I used the combination of those two until my demob in NZ in 1977. We used the same kit in all of our operating theatre’s but added an extra bottle in hot climates. The point we made is to keep the weight down as what we jumped with is what we carried. Mess tins are not necessary items, mugs do the job for brewing up, heating food and washing and shaving. I had to live on ration packs in our first 1961 tour in the Gulf and hated the Brit rations, think of tinned cheese that had gone liquid, Liver & bacon for a week as some idiot packet that for a weekly re supply drop! We made up our own E & E tins using tobacco tins. The most necessary item everyone forgets is soft toilet paper, round pebbles are no substitute for it in Oman jebels! Extras to be scrounged before a long patrols were :- tins of bully beef, oxo cubes, dried hers, curry powder, pre cooked rice, gee and tins of tobacco. Oh yea, a good shovel + steel file, an American poncho and a lightweight blanket. Yes, it gets cold at night and even rains in deserts! Oh the simple days of just Survival! Cheers mate Harera

    Thanks for showing us everything. Some future ideas along the same lines (which have been echoed elsewhere here):
    1) A modified version for civilian use, perhaps sized down to a belt/fanny pack as its basis.
    2) Now that we've seen Stage 3 (the pack) and Stage 2 (the belt), maybe you can share your thoughts on Stage 1 of our emergency gear: what we keep in our POCKETS. Whether it's a vest, a shirt, or a field jacket, let's see what we can fit in there . . .

    When I initially served with the British Army,, in the 1980's our belt kit layout was very similar, with SAS survival tins. Many of us used two cups instead of mess tins, due to the old 58 bottle and cup were plastic. So we use to carry the original 58 webbing metal cups to cook and poor the hot water into the plastic cup to drink and using the metal cups to eat out of. The Germans had another way of doing this, with a double metal cup system, that use to attach both ends of the water bottle. I still use my metal cup and old water bottle, and for a number of years, the US water bottle, cup and lid system.. Always interesting to see how things have developed, and I find this Ranger on You Tube extremely useful. Well done.

    Sir, T Y for your dedication. Lofty Wiseman says in his manual IIRC basically that 2 quarts of water will get you through 24 hours of maneuver at 120 degrees F. In dry desert I would add at least 3 more quarts to that somehow. Belts alone have the tendency to drop around your ankles. Not just embarrassing. Good to be able to convert the belt instantly to a torso pack. Contents to add are Tylenol, cough drops, and disinfectant. T Y again!

    A caution and a tip for you to consider: tip - always use a harp (bow) with that POS wire saw. Those split rings are not actually for handles, but can be used as such. Caution - Otherwise its life expectancy is about 2 minutes, in part due to the extreme heat that is developed. There are superior types out there and I recommend swapping it out for a better one.

      Do you know why they are called Commando wire saws? It is because they can also be use as a garrotte when escaping. If you are in a rush to escape you don't carry anything like a harp. Too large, bulky, etc. And the split ring can be replaced with other types of handle. Just speaking as a former Aus SF dude.

    Funny how I built a similar belt. Not quite as extensive, but with enough to get me home if I had to ditch my bug out bag. Only one canteen; no water making kit, a smaller compass, only 2 30rd AR mags and 2 17rd pistol mags, a bigger med kit, 25ft in paracord, fire kit, knife and 4 mylar blankets; no poncho or tarp. Much lighter, but I had it paired with my chest rig, which carried more mags and other necessities. This was about 10 years ago, living in San Francisco. In case of a serious natural disaster or SHTF, I planned to drive/walk to my siblings house; the city would get crazy and I want no part of that nightmare.
    Time to update that belt; now that I live the free state of AZ.

      It might be of interest that the original Commando instructors actually had a wilkinson-sword small to medium bowie style blade which was far more useful as a field knife. My great uncle was RM Commando in ww2 including D-Day and he had the bowie hunting knife and also the FS, the latter never being used all his field tasks were done with the issue folding pocket knife or the hunting blade.

    It's been said already; bin the mess tins and use the canteen cups, ideally one 58 water bottle and large crusader cup one side and the US bottle and cup on the other. The Dutch cup is preferrable to drink from with a rolled rim and fits the USG bottle.

    Sir, being old school and long in the tooth. It is very nice to see that these old school methods are still used. I carry a survival belt in my car along with a small backpack. I prefer the survival belt to a get home backpack.
    Thank you, Ranger, for showing this survival belt.
    The only other equipment I carried with me is a small pair of binoculars. But it was a personal preference.

    Strangely, I learned this from my Woodbadge training as a Scout Leader: if you carry a map (the good quality USGS type or similer quality) soak them in some good quality deck preservative and lay them out to dry conpletely, they will be both water and mosture proof and in extremis, can be used either for a waterproof cover or a fire starter. Note pads can be done the same way and are cheaper than the ones bought on line from gear suppliers.

    Nice kit , I would ditch the square dixie pots completely , you are right to carry 2 SS cup cantens , however , what you should do is use one for drinks ONLY & the other IF you need to heat/cook meat or can of food . Also run a longer lanyard on your compass , tie to belt .
    Get a 4 mag pouch , use on weak side , that gives you a xtra pouch on the right , push the pouches to the sides & rear , leaving the front clear to lie down , also get a thick needle & strong thread , if you need to repair your pouches or belt/harness .
    I presume the belt buckle is a alloy alpin QD , if using a plastic fastex type , you need to change to a more robust buckle/adjustment , either a metal alpin type of steel roll pin type .
    Had by fastex buckle stood on and it broke one side , so my belt order could not be closed/tightened , not something you want to have to put up with in the field .

    Great video. Have you ever tried making an emergency personal flotation device using several Ziplock bags filled with air and put in your shirt and pants cargo pockets? I've been thinking about this, and if a one gallon milk bottle can easily keep you afloat, then having 6 or 8 one quart bags should do the same I would think. I'm just thinking for an emergency here, and keeping it compact and weighing next to nothing. Might make for a good video now that it's warming up. Keep up the great work.

    120 rounds seems light. I thought 210 was the norm. But hey, what do I know. I like that Dutch tin. Stainless steel? Aluminum, although lite, seems to me to be fragile. Very nice kit. Well thought out. As most everyone watching says, you have one of the best channels on YT. Your content, as all of us former and current military types can attest, is simple and straight to the point. Bravo Zulu.

Since the United States and its allies had to devise one communication standard to be understood by all and many of the brevity code words stem from Morse code I suspect that is how it came to be. It does mean “well done”.

    I have a suggestion for alternative ammo pouches. Why not use USGI issue triple mag pouches,with the built-in grenade pouches. That way you can put your compass in the grenade pouch, still have 3 more grenade size pouches left and eliminate the separate compass pouch. Just a thought. Thanks.

      Good idea, I was thinking powder for the same purpose. But the tablets don't have as strong of an odor.
      Just make sure you get the smell off the bottles as fast as possible when you use them.
