Just watched the year alone video and thought it was awesome, I read the description only after looking for the next videos. Would have been a great show!
Been reenacting for decades. Haversacks and shot bags all purpose items, for woodsman, militia, and soldiers. I find a slit pouch handy to pick up fire starting stuff picked up a long the trail. Enjoyed the vid.
Excellent mate, thankyou very much, much appreciated. This has been a massive help and i'm sorted with what i'll have now. All the best brother, Cheers, Jack
Nice kit in your haversack. They do make life easier and that belt pouch is really nice too. That was a good idea for a sewing kit. Thanks for another video.
Great video and kit. I hope to go to the Pathfinder school this summer. Only an hour away from me in OH. I am getting a haversack soon. Looks like it will be great for day hikes and such. Very nice belt pouch. That repair kit is ingenious. Thanks for sharing.
I have started my haver sack and have ferrorod and striker , a Virginia tactic knife with titanium blade and of cause my army knife.I enjoy your videos and learn a lot: Thanks again and keep them comming
Great video, Sarge! My only complaint about a haversack is that there isn't room to put your jacket or carry rain gear. Actually it really isn't a complaint because if you stuck rain gear or a jacket in your haversack it would be so bulky it would be in the way. To my way of thinking a haversack is no good by itself, but is great when used in conjunction with a small day pack for your jacket and/or rain gear. After living twenty years in Southeast Alaska I don't go anywhere without rain gear and a wool or fleece sweater or jacket... the stuff really IS a matter of life or death. The haversack is handy for things you want to get to more often without taking your pack off. A small water bottle, snacks,a spare knife, cordage, and spare ammunition are nice in a haversack.
I like your videos man, a year in the wilderness was a good video, I would of liked to of see what came next. Im planning on doing it my self in the future, unfortunately I'm in the UK so not much wilderness. Keep filming buddy, good work
Patrick is a good man, a great friend to have, and a awesome craftsman. He made me something basic pouches and stuffed them full of kit when my pack was stolen out of my car while on base. He makes so many beautiful items, just have to save up to get some of it lol. Thanks for sharing Sargent.
Great video, fun and helpful to see all the different stuff you carry. I liked that you had the head lamp in there. Maybe one of these days I'll have to try a haversack. :)
similar to mine. I find cheap dental floss to be extremely handy, very compact if you take the roll out of the plastic box. I also carry 20-30' of mono fishing line to tie leaders onto the bankline or dental floss. bankline and dental floss are the duct tape of the outdoors. Always be redundant with the fire making. I keep one tethered to me (and knife) and in pack. The small ust ferros are as easy to use as the "magic wand", the built in striker makes it easy to direct (and is one handed use) without accidentally overrunning your stike into the tinder bundle.
I love using a small bag when just out for a few hours. I could not find a old school haversack type when I was building my kit a few years back, so I went modern and got a molle bag. It contains a a brew kit, "hi tech" fire kit, FAK, knife sharpener, belt knife, leatherman tool and a water bottle + some fun stuff like a sling shot with ball bearings for ammo. Since I love making my fire with flint and steel I keep the kit for that in a separate pouch on my belt. Another molle type pouch is a magazine trhow pouch that I use for stuff I gathe ron my way like tinder materials, quartz (ther eis no flint here) for fire making, berries etc... Always interesting to see what others are carrying :-)
Brilliant insights into your haversack, am just trying to find a reliable seller here in the UK. Like how you kept it super simple yet effective. Regards from London ~Peace~
When I was just a kid , granny made me one lots bigger from a burlap potato sack . Grandpa saved me his prince Albert tobacco cans to keep my hooks, ammo, kitchen matches , in I carried a cut down double bit axe in my belt , good pocket knife , carried a carbide lamp , carbide , water . I could build a fire on wet ground with just a little carbide. I went to work paying taxes at 13 , bought a night light brand , headlamp , then a wheat light with a 6volt battery . On days off , I stayed in the woods night and day .
Another use in the city, I keep one in my other, Duluth, classy man purse so if I buy anything in town or want to take diner home, I have an extra bag!
hell yea seeing other peoples kit is the best way to prepare your own there is always someone that thinks of something that you dont ! mine is based off of some of my needs and then a great many other peoples kits !
Great video man, my purse is made out of an old surplus messenger bag from some unknown country. I absolutely love haversack carry, even if dave invented them.
U got some great living man, here in the dutch u got almost no great outdoors.. i always want to go and survive for at least a week. But the rules here are kinda tight,. I hope u shoot a video with some advice for me . Thnxx keep it going man.!
I like haversacks and even the Maxpedition Versipack type bags, but when it comes down to it I always seem to go back to my daypack. I have a lightweight linen haversack that I keep rolled up in my daypack so that I can just throw it on for gathering things off of the landscape, but I just find my daypack to be a lot more comfortable for carrying my kit in.
Just a thought of an add in. A backup for sharpening your edges. Emery cloth, its small, and no weight, and costs next to nothing. It can be used to sharpen scandinavian and flat grinds only, convex and dbl bevel you can't. You need a piece of emery cloth that can wrap around you blad. Pinch the edge firmly between your forefinger and thumb with the spine pointing down and draw the knife through. I works, I tried it on one of my Moras at home. I wanted to see if it would more in a safe environment and not at a time when you life is on the line. In is a pain in the ass doing it this way and takes a bit of time, but I think the pros outweigh the cons. Just a note this is for sharpening an edge not honing, it removes steel from the blade so I wouldn't practice this on a knife that doesn't need sharpening.
I just love the Derek Faria "one-liners". Does the lipstick come with that man purse and there's a fly on my screen....bastard! Too funny bro. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the laughs. Nice video of the Haversack and belt pouch contents. I am a firm believer in the saying: "the best survival kit is the one you have on you when you need it". That's why it's important to have crucial items on your person at all times (knife on belt and E.D.C. items in your pants pocket or belt pouch). Just in case you lose or misplace the haversack. You made a good point about that.
No need to apologize. That's why I love watching your video's. Most other survival videos are straight forward and lack humor. Yours don't...that's part of the reason I watch. Keep em coming!
APTBIZZARRO11 hours ago "I just love the Derek Faria "one-liners". Does the lipstick come with that man purse and there's a fly on my screen....bastard!" Yep, this was definitely good stuff.
Got a lot of respect for Dave, and as we know these things are ever evolving, but mine looks an awful lot more like yours. Logical, concise setup. Fills many needs in a light rig. Mine doesn't have a whip stick either, man :) Sensibly included a tarp, too. Looks familiar... Nice little kit bro. Dig your channel.
Awesome sack. A bit redundant for me. Missed the other 364 days of your journey to live alone in the woods. Great channel though. Hope your school worked out.
very impressed with your kit. just wanted to know how to get a belt kit, I'm disabled US Army Veteran slowly tryin to get back in to the great outdoors. I'm building a haversack kit and need one
cool kit sarge, I copy dave and you all the time and quite frankly I don’t see anything wrong; as I see it’s just more knowledge under my belt. thank you for the vid!!!
Great video as always Sarge!! Love the Bastard comment! What is that tarp that you carry in your Haversack, and where can you purchase one? Look forward to your next great video!!!
Say Heah Sarge, Close but no cigar, I made mine from a closeout camo flap over purse that looks masculine, with pockets and main compartment ad even the flop over holds gear that's zippered with side compartments, I carry my compass, cooking set, cottage, binoculars Firestarter which sometimes include road flares and my space blanket or tarp. I also carry a pouch on my web belt, Yeah, When I go lite, I take it, Good to have. I might of forgot to mention like first aid, But at any one time atleast my 5'C's.
Hey Sarge, great vid I too use my pathfinder Haversack alot...gonna do the velcro trick thanks for that idea....also, have you checked out Heavy Cover's new titanium canteen and cup messkit? I got one darn near bullet proof so far and fits nice in the haversack...
Super new but how did the rest of the year go in the year alone in the woods did you have success at the hunt did you establish permanent camp or did you travel around a lot
I am thinking about adding some type of magnifying lens to my fire kit, I have seen the vids on busting up binoculars. and such along with other, "free" lens. What do you recommend for a newbe?
+Bluelineknives Without a doubt man. I will carry this basic kit at my courses just so I have things to do demos and what not, but I don't carry all that much anymore in it typically if im by myself and have it. I definitely don't carry all of the fire stuff
I was just wondering what your opinion was on a magnesium flint stick. I prefer them to flint and steel, for the magnesium is its own tinder and becomes an open flame to catch larger or damp tender
james gillespie My opinion is.....the mag part of them are pretty good. If you carry an additional ferro rod then your golden......the rod part of them things tend to be very small and inferior
Sashiku's Art , my advice would be to go for it, don't worry about buying expensive kit that u'll probably be told you need (the more skills you know,the less you have to carry), stick to a good solid knife (Mora companion is a great knife and its only $20-ish), an axe, a tarp (i started with a cheap groundsheet), a method of lighting fire (you could start with a cheap cigarette lighter or get yourself a fire steel, and a nice warm sleeping bag and a nice thick ground mat. If you learn the basics of bushcraft (i recommend binge watching everything Ray Mears has ever made) And practice the basic skills like setting up your tarp, getting a good, sustainable fire going and preparing clean drinking water and good food outdoors then you'll have a great base skillset to develop from. Learn about what interests you. I for example like learning about the kind of skills our ancestors would have used, before any complex technology. I aim to be confident that i could go out into the wilderness with only a knife and an axe and live no problem for however long i needed. I'm getting there slowly. It will take time though, so i would recommend getting a friend or partner to go out into the wilderness with you, that way you can both help keep each other safe which is important because nature is ruthless if you're not careful. Take small steps, start in your back garden practicing in a safe place, then spend time wandering around the natural environment around where you are simply getting used to it, then maybe stop for lunch, set up your tarp however you like then get a fire going and cook some food. I wouldn't suggest staying overnight until you are confident in basic wilderness skills but if you choose to do so then make sure theres someone with you and you could quickly get help if you need it. Good luck on learning. Note : i am not responsible for anything you do or that happens following this advice. If you choose to use my advice you do so at your own risk and your wellbeing is your responsibility. Be smart and make sure you are prepared for what you are doing.
Tmk777 she didnt say she was blind she said half blind, that could just mean she needs glasses, i've heard people who wear them refer to themself as "half blind" before, and even if she was completely blind in one eye, theres still no reason she cant learn outdoor skills.
Has anyone ever shown these guys Bic Lighters? 6 of them and yer good for a decade. I do like the care taken in the prep. but Im a smoker and depend on fire every 10 mins or so. Bic Lighter. Works every time
Great video even if Dave did his lol but just a quick question if you sow the Velcro in did you re waterproof that area or its not been a problem I ask because I would like to do mine thanks and have a good day
I have been developing my haversack carry and am almost there. thanks for the insights. Sam
Right on Sam
Just watched the year alone video and thought it was awesome, I read the description only after looking for the next videos. Would have been a great show!
Been reenacting for decades. Haversacks and shot bags all purpose items, for woodsman, militia, and soldiers. I find a slit pouch handy to pick up fire starting stuff picked up a long the trail. Enjoyed the vid.
Great set up. I just purchased an XL one Pathfinder Edition... love it...
"Bug crawling on my screen there, bastard." Rolling on the floor laughing!!!
Excellent mate, thankyou very much, much appreciated. This has been a massive help and i'm sorted with what i'll have now. All the best brother, Cheers, Jack
No problem man
Nice kit.Picked up a mule team canvas haversack a few months ago.Dyed it and waxed it.It works great.
Nice man....thanks
Nice kit in your haversack. They do make life easier and that belt pouch is really nice too. That was a good idea for a sewing kit. Thanks for another video.
Thanks a lot brother. Hope things are well, take care
Thats a good not overloaded comprehensive day kit. I've found once you can't close the flap on a haversack, just get a backpack.
Great video and kit. I hope to go to the Pathfinder school this summer. Only an hour away from me in OH. I am getting a haversack soon. Looks like it will be great for day hikes and such. Very nice belt pouch. That repair kit is ingenious. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks man, he sure is
Does Patrick have a website? I would like to purchase one of his belt pouches
That was priceless , "Nice Man Pack , does it come with lip stick". You had me cracking up Sarge.
Thanks for the video and review.
Peace
Great review my friend. Thank you for sharing. You did a fine presentation. Take care out there and be safe. 🤗
Great video, fun and helpful to see all the different stuff you carry. I liked that you had the head lamp in there. Maybe one of these days I'll have to try a haversack. :)
Thanks
Well don't bother, they're useless, well except for a stroll in the woods on a sunny afternoon. lol
A 5Cs plus kit, nice, I need to get a Haversack

Great kit set up. I will say though, you really did turn me onto belt pouches and I prefer to wear them on hikes now to keep some base essentials in.
Thanks bud
Hi Sarge, I like the kit. That primitive sewing kit is awesome.
Thanks man
Great video, thank you for sharing your know how with the rest of us and thank you for your service.
+Bill K. right on
hell yea seeing other peoples kit is the best way to prepare your own there is always someone that thinks of something that you dont ! mine is based off of some of my needs and then a great many other peoples kits !
Nice Kit Sarge, The sewing kit is VERY NICE!!

Great video man, my purse is made out of an old surplus messenger bag from some unknown country. I absolutely love haversack carry, even if dave invented them.
Thanks man. Dave certainly didnt invent them.....they been around for hundreds of years
Just joking on dave about inventing the haversack.

Love watchin haversack videos, nice brother, im ganna do a video now I think

Very good ideas, Thank you very much

Nice Haversack Another great vid Sarge
Thanks bro
I dig it man. Haversack kits are awesome.
Where did this guy go? I really liked his videos.
Been wondering if it's possible? curious to see how long someone as skilled as yourself could last.
I found some great haversacks on ebay. Just do some searching and you can save a bundle on the price of stocking up your kit. Great video!
Thanks bud
Excellent Sarge, thanks for sharing 👊👊
Thanks bud ; )
Nice video Derek,
Nice to see that you carry a leather bag from a bottle of great Venezuelan rum.
Thanks + Regards

thank you for the vid!!!
Thanks bud
good kit! thx for sharing
lol - That bug took off when you cursed it. Nice kit, still not sure of the haversack for myself just yet, though.
+Outdoor Archives HA! Thanks man
Great video as always Sarge!! Love the Bastard comment! What is that tarp that you carry in your Haversack, and where can you purchase one? Look forward to your next great video!!!
Thanks buddy. The tarp is a trail tarp I got from Rob at canteenshop about 6-7 years ago.
Great Kit! Thanks for sharing Sarg!
Thanks buddy
Serge great video...the sewing kit is awesome ...
Thanks man
You and Dave must be on same wave length or chat channel (:
LOL......at times, it seems that way
Just went on a two day Turkey hunt using the haversack. Was tired of carrying too much.... Wish I'd scene your vid first but I faired well,lol
LOL....right on man
How did you get on with your year in the forest? Great challenge.
Very good video. Thanks
Holy shit, I jus threw my phone across the room when the bug crawled on his camera lol
Hey bro, got a link on the belt pouch? Thanks..
Nice buddy i got a satchel i like to use for day hikes always carry my edc
Say Heah Sarge, Close but no cigar, I made mine from a closeout camo flap over purse that looks masculine, with pockets and main compartment ad even the flop over holds gear that's zippered with side compartments, I carry my compass, cooking set, cottage, binoculars Firestarter which sometimes include road flares and my space blanket or tarp. I also carry a pouch on my web belt, Yeah, When I go lite, I take it, Good to have. I might of forgot to mention like first aid, But at any one time atleast my 5'C's.
Hey Sarge, great vid I too use my pathfinder Haversack alot...gonna do the velcro trick thanks for that idea....also, have you checked out Heavy Cover's new titanium canteen and cup messkit? I got one darn near bullet proof so far and fits nice in the haversack...
Thanks man. I have not seen thatyet, no
Who makes the trail tarp and how big is yours? Where can I get one?
Cool needle kit
thank you
Lovely friend
Hey brother just wondering how many days you made it on your 'Year In the Wild' video there is no update.
my guess is not too far... notice the houses and highway sounds in the background?
he wasnt far from home
Did you have to sew in your velcro? I could not make the peel and stick work.
Do you have a link where I can get a pants like yours?
Nice job
Super new but how did the rest of the year go in the year alone in the woods did you have success at the hunt did you establish permanent camp or did you travel around a lot
I am thinking about adding some type of magnifying lens to my fire kit, I have seen the vids on busting up binoculars. and such along with other, "free" lens. What do you recommend for a newbe?
I Hope you live a good life out there😅
Does the guy that made the belt pouch have a web site? If so, can you post the link?
not that im aware of man, sorry
sargefaria
Do you have an email address or phone # for him?
I dont
Philip223RD Added the guys FB link in the description box now brother
Simpel and super.. Thx for the vid.
Thanks
i like it sarge , and daves kit…do you think a small food ration would be nice …lol
you always have well thought out gear ..
..bill
Thanks bud. A small food ration certainly wouldnt hurt......and i so typically have something. This was more on the kit i suppose.
I like where your head is at with the food, Bill haha. -Chris
Just sit at home and watch youtube videos... lol You are so inspiring... really... nice hat.
haha
very good video thanks
Sarge has anything changed in your haversack kit?
+Bluelineknives Without a doubt man. I will carry this basic kit at my courses just so I have things to do demos and what not, but I don't carry all that much anymore in it typically if im by myself and have it. I definitely don't carry all of the fire stuff
Thanks for the video. How did you attach that velcro to the pocket?
+Adam Volosik I had it sewn in professionally
+The Woodsman School and Guide Service Thanks for the info! I think I'm going to the same thing.
Just the question I was gonna ask. thanks guys

Why did you stop making VIDEOS?
Bankline can also be used as tinder.
How do you check youtube from the woods if your out for a year? Are those woods the pine barrens? Great video!!
This was shot in NH. It is a video submission for a TV show man.....just wanted to share with you all. Thanks
Very nice!
I’m good with small fire kit I try to carry good knife an shelter
Muito bom!
Dude you are amazing. Any tips for a half blind girl who wants to learn survival skills and self reliance?
Stay home, blind girl.
Sashiku's Art , my advice would be to go for it, don't worry about buying expensive kit that u'll probably be told you need (the more skills you know,the less you have to carry), stick to a good solid knife (Mora companion is a great knife and its only $20-ish), an axe, a tarp (i started with a cheap groundsheet), a method of lighting fire (you could start with a cheap cigarette lighter or get yourself a fire steel, and a nice warm sleeping bag and a nice thick ground mat. If you learn the basics of bushcraft (i recommend binge watching everything Ray Mears has ever made) And practice the basic skills like setting up your tarp, getting a good, sustainable fire going and preparing clean drinking water and good food outdoors then you'll have a great base skillset to develop from. Learn about what interests you. I for example like learning about the kind of skills our ancestors would have used, before any complex technology. I aim to be confident that i could go out into the wilderness with only a knife and an axe and live no problem for however long i needed. I'm getting there slowly.
It will take time though, so i would recommend getting a friend or partner to go out into the wilderness with you, that way you can both help keep each other safe which is important because nature is ruthless if you're not careful.
Take small steps, start in your back garden practicing in a safe place, then spend time wandering around the natural environment around where you are simply getting used to it, then maybe stop for lunch, set up your tarp however you like then get a fire going and cook some food. I wouldn't suggest staying overnight until you are confident in basic wilderness skills but if you choose to do so then make sure theres someone with you and you could quickly get help if you need it.
Good luck on learning.
Note : i am not responsible for anything you do or that happens following this advice. If you choose to use my advice you do so at your own risk and your wellbeing is your responsibility. Be smart and make sure you are prepared for what you are doing.
Tmk777 she didnt say she was blind she said half blind, that could just mean she needs glasses, i've heard people who wear them refer to themself as "half blind" before, and even if she was completely blind in one eye, theres still no reason she cant learn outdoor skills.

Good for u Sarge. Nice - keep those pockets empty.
Hey sarg. How have you been ? Long time no see hope all is well brother
