That pack reminds me of the Croatian Military Surplus bags that I bought on Sportsman's Guide a couple of years ago. Of course they are much less of quality than this one you are showing and it is made of cotton. So I have waterproofed mine and added interior organization as I need them. I like your videos. This one is especially useful with all the safety tips. thanks for sharing your information and discovery.
The orange panel/ground cloth is an excellent concept, offering a multitude of possibilities and applications. Its versatility opens up a wide range of potential uses.
I have a Hidden Woodsmen french trade satchel and love it for when I’m jus going for a stroll in the woods. I usually just carry a nalgene cantene on my hip unless I know I’m going to be along a lake or stream, then I carry a grayl on my hip. In my satchel I’ll have a small ground cloth just big enough to sit on, large bandana, minimal first aid, light leather gloves, lighter, either an msr pocket rocket (often can’t have open fires) or a little alchohol stove in a little titanium mug kit that has coffee and tea, something to eat, and some miscellaneous items like bankline, etc. it’s not survival, it’s a walk in the woods and lunch in familiar places.
I use a Hungarian bread bag from WWII as my haversack. It really only serves one purpose and that is as my kitchen. It holds everything that I need to feed myself. Anything from just a day scout to a couple of days in the woods. Cook set with french press for good coffee, a fold flat twig stove, a trangia, and my food with spices. then I carry a small possibles kit with my water bottle and filter. On the outside of the haversack is a spot where I can use two leather straps to attach a us army poncho.
Thank you for sharing. May I suggest you have more gear for sleeping: * a micro tarp * builder's rubble bag to make a browse filled up with leaves to stop conduction * fleece jacket * hat * hand warmers to throw in the bivi
@@ThePreparedWanderer I realise, but even in the summer it can get chilly at night. But I suppose your right. I think for just a few items it would help in comfort if you got lost. Thanks for replying
I love my scout I pair it with the original HWM rucksack and I keep it empty and tucked under the rucksack flap and I use it when I adventure away from camp. So I do not have to carry my full bag
I like the idea of haversack kits, and I've made a few over the years in a variety of bags, but I just don't use them. I find they kill my back if I have anything like a worthwhile amount of kit in one. I've moved to a belt rig style kit, which is far better balanced.
Traditionally, it was never JUST the haversack to carry EVERYTHING. The weight was spread out more between the haversack and other bags and small packs/blanket roll. Essentially, it was just ONE part of a load-bearing SYSTEM. A primitive form of the more modern military LBV/LBE. Yeah, I can't carry everything I want in one heavy bowling ball off my side either for much distance, especially being a disabled vet and now with possible MS. Gear weight and distribution are a huge factor for me now. Not a 20 year old Marine anymore 😁. Everything I need just goes in my USMC ILBE pack (whether it's light or heavier) as that's the only pack I can manage to carry these days comfortably and without excruciating pains. It would be nice to have to add to your main pack, though. So when you get to camp or wherever, you have a secondary smaller bag to walk around with that won't be carrying all that weight. But I'd go for the $20 Pathfinder haversack if that was the plan. I already have a secondary smaller bag with my main pack, it's a USGI butt pack that I just sling around my chest.
I'd like to suggest you take a look at Mountain Smith's Lumbar Pack system. It can be worn as an oversized Belt Bag/Fanny Pack, which can be supplemented with shoulder straps, or the Belt can be tucked away and a padded shoulder strap can convert it into a haversack configuration. It comes in two sizes, and I've used one of their larger pack for decades. Tough as you could wish.
@@henrydaubresse9652 I’ve seen them, they’re on my ”wish list” I use a Helikon-Tex Foxtrot Mk 2, with an E&E pouch on one side and a CLS canteen pouch on the other. The harness system it low profile enough that I can supplement with a small backpack if I need to. It forms part of a modular system.
I am in a very similar situation. Being living with MS for 20 years. I really like the idea of a shoulder bag, but not only the joints hurting, but the lack of balance in my body is really aggravated by the one side carrying of the shoulder bag
I'm using the same bag for shore fishing along the river banks. It's just the right size for a variety of tackle, extra spools and a few tools. Works great in conjunction with the THW waist pack.
When I was on the THW website I was thinking the exact same thing. Plus, that waist bag could be used cross body for traveling, ie Passport/essentials on person. Win-win.....Thanks, Loafer
I like the video, hidden woodsman sells great stuff, nice little stove, the lasagna I will be looking for, ty for sharing the video, I also carry liquid IV to use in my water when needed, also a mini sawyer for water filtration..
I use to carry a messenger bag when I was younger but it got uncomfortable when I got older, a small backpack distributes the weight evenly which can be carried longer.
I go back and forth. Backpacks are so much more efficient but difficult to access on the trail. Carrying a cover layer usually pushes me to a backpack.
I really like the looks of that stove and wouldn't mind having one in my pack. I never saw any poison ivy, but I saw a lot of what looked like Virginia Creeper.
I like this have sack and I am wondering how much it is? Also I have one of the stoves that you used and I like it but also don't like it because of the way that you have to feed wood into it. I am thinking of altering it a little with out making it weaker in strength if I can.i will let you know what I come up with.
I have one just like that and I really like it. They are much better than the box shaped twig stoves. They work well for grilling because you can get coals and move them to one side to cook over the coals, while adding more wood to the other side if you are just heating water or want to create more coals. You can also pick the stove up and move it by grabbing the fins at the bottom. They pack down so flat they take hardly any space. I wish I could find the same in titanium.
Funny how wilderness survival skills has turned into Bushcarft which is now marketing language for gear you must have but will never use. I don’t understand why everyone pushes all this gear. All my years and training I was taught the more you know the less you need. I can see taking a canteen or metal water bottle and cup , water filter, knife, food for the day, fire kit. Anything else would be mission specific. Sleeping gear and rain gear I keep in the car. Very rarely do I get super far from the car. Just seems like everyone has this gear setup like they are going into uncharted lands. How many people even have woods around them you can get lost in? Most east coast parks have major roads a few miles any direction. I believe something many don’t talk about but very dangerous is dehydration or heat stroke. Water and shade very important. I personally can’t afford the products UA-cam pushes. Especially now that everything went up. My communist state just raised gas $.50 a gallon. I’ve got to get out of this state. Just can’t afford to get my van fixed so my wife will leave with me. Well that’s all my rants. Serve in the military and now I can’t afford anything. Yet illegals get free housing and food. Tell me how we let these criminals run our country?
It’s as honest as can be. I don’t show stuff I don’t trust or like. And I bought the hidden Woodsmen bag with my own money. It was not provided to me. You shouldn’t jump to conclusions it makes you look silly.

That's a pretty cool little stove. Can't go wrong with Malcolm's gear 🤠
Hidden woodsman haversacks are awesome, I have one of the original ones! I usually keep a scrubber pad in my canteen pouch for cleaning after words
Awesome little kit you put together. 👍

I didn't see the option for attachment of gear on the side.
Great video, I'm currently modifying a Polish bread bag as my edc haversack.
Thank you for sharing.
May I suggest you have more gear for sleeping:
* a micro tarp
* builder's rubble bag to make a browse filled up with leaves to stop conduction
* fleece jacket
* hat
* hand warmers to throw in the bivi
It's summer hiking kit not and overnight bag

How does carrying a handgun and knife on the same side feel? I usually carry a knife on my off side, either vertical or cross draw.
I don't it's too bad. I've been trying different times carry configurations and I like it so far.
Spiritual prep,acts 2:38
Is there a way to add fuel to that stove with the grate on it?
No that's it's downfall but you could turn the grate and leave space to add wood
I have about the same set up except for a bottle rather then a canteen and a monocular for distence
Kinda close to the fire laying sideways, please be careful.
Oh goodness

Buy once cry once!!!!!!
Yep
Mountain Men, carried a shooting pouch, and a haversack.
$100+ for a medium size shoulder bag - I don't think so!
You seem to be affiliated with several companies. An honest description not based on endorsements would be much better.
