Bushcraft Belt Kit (Helikon-Tex SERE Pouch plus more)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 лип 2024
- Take a look at the gear I keep on my belt rig for bushcraft and wild camping. This is not intended as a survival kit or scout kit or anything, though it could certainly be adapted for such purposes.
Whether I'm heading out for a few hours or a multi day trip, I can throw my belt kit into my day bag or rucksack and I'm covered for most tasks around camp. Included are the Helikon-Tex SERE pouch, Bahco Laplander, Mora Bushcraft Black, Victorinox Ranger Grip 78, my fire kit, and more. There's a fair bit of functionality but it's still quite compact and minimalist - at least compared to other belt rigs I've seen on UA-cam. Let me know what you think :)
Recorded in the forest during heavy rain so there's plenty of ambience!!
great wee video, thanks for sharing 👍🔥
Cheers Gary!!
I love this minimalist bushcraft kit, smashing stuff!
Hey thanks guys 😊 will check out your channel
@@wildnessoutdoors thankyou so much! I am slowly building the channel up, I appreciate it! I look forward to seeing more of your content 💪
Yeah it's a slow process but we'll get there mate!
good kit. The rain gave it some authenticity, lol
Haha thanks!
Love your video, so pleased you are realistic with you kit! Most other guys over do it by miles, think other guys just show off! I compare it, to girls buying loads of shoes and only using probably no more than 3 pairs. Thank you for sharing. Got some good ledas from you. Cheers
Totally agree. And as it happens I only own about 3 pairs of shoes too lmao. Appreciate the comment!
Nice kit!
Thanks 😊
I just realized how new your channel is. You are off to a great start. I look forward to seeing your channel evolve and cant wait to see what else you get up to. Keep up the good work! Cheers.
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement!! I've loads of videos planned 😁
Really liked your kit make up thanks
Thanks, glad you enjoyed. More kit vids to come 😁
That's a fine job there buddy, I used the Móra Black for Donkey's years I loved it. Looks like you've eveything covered.
Yeah, people complain it's not a full tang like the Garberg, but I've beat the absolute hell out of mine and it's fine!

Good Kit.
Thanks.
Thanks. More kit videos in the works 😁
Thanks for sharing, very awesome!👍😁👍
Appreciate the kind words ☺️
GREAT start to your channel and the scenery is beautiful. As you picked the berries, you missed out on some nutrient dense raspberry / blackberry leaves that you could have steeped in your tea.
Thank you for sharing your day in nature, so refreshing to see. God Bless and keep on creating.
Thank you for the very kind words. I think I had coffee that day, but yes tea from the leaves is lovely!!
Bộ dụng cụ thật là tiệc vời lắm bạn .cắm trại có bộ dụng cụ này thật là tiệc vời. Chúc bạn nhiều sức khỏe và thành công
Cảm ơn 😁
I can't thank the British Army enough for teaching me how to put together a 'Patrol Belt' so that I could comfortably and safely hike for a day, with the least weight and volume necessary. Belt-order is a personal puzzle. Ah, the forgotten art of making '58 webbing useful! 🤗
The first survival book I got as a kid showed the full 58 pattern. My young mind was absolutely captured by it all. I still use mess tins and hexamine stoves to this day, much to the annoyance of my camping mates lol
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to hear! I'll check out your channel too.
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this most informative video. You did a great job. All the best to you. Stay safe and healthy out there. Very comprehensive. 🤗
Thank you very much. Greetings to Northern California from Northern Ireland 😁
Nice! You fit quite a bit into a small form factor! Very cool
That's my exact philosophy! The rest of my kit is the same 😁
Another great video, just subscribed on the 10c one. Not trying to blow up your comments SERE is pronounced like you would a steak on both sides. Survive Evade Resist Escape it’s a special school for special people haha anyways take all that and throw into a butt pak (an xxl US military phannie pack) wear it on your hips or as a sling then take out what you need when it’s time to work. Or if you like the woods stealing everything you own a LBV load bearing vest will allow easy mounting/access and save the rubbing rash from your hips when you hit the trails.
The kit stays in my pack until I get to camp so there's no issues 😁
Great bit of kit there. Much better than I've seen in most videos. I have the same ferro rod. Best choice for those out there. I'd see if you can pack a bayite striker. Their very small and are really good at throwing sparks. MUCH better than trying to use the back of your knife.
I wrapped my lighter in fishing line, tape, and waxed wick cord. The wick will let you save your fuel so you can have an extended flame without using the lighter itself. It's also good as tinder. If you can wrap some tape around some fish hooks, you can have food procurement with a very tiny amount of space and weight. (plus you have the tape for fire starting).
You may want to consider a very compact 300mAh/5000mAh usb battery to supplement that headlamp. If you fully charged both, you could be out there for a very long time.
For a pocket flashlight, I'd suggest the Nitecore Tip 2 keyring flashlight. Hella bright, very small, magnetic back, USB chargeable, and IP66 waterproof rated. Best flashlight I've ever owned and I've owned a lot of flashlights.
I hate those mylar blankets but they're tiny and can work as a rain cover, if nothing else. It should fit.
I didn't see any signaling devices in there (I've had about a dozen drinks by now so I could have missed them). I'd suggest a quality mirror and a super compact flat flashlight.
A small tube of chapstick would be a good idea (I know, I've suggested a lot of things that may not fit at this point). Not only is it good for your lips, you can extend your tinder with it.
All great points! Bear in mind though that this is just my belt kit and I do have all or most of the functionality and backups you mentioned in my main kit.
I do have the striker that came with the ferro rod but using the back of your knife is way more badass 😆
Thanks for watching 😁
@@wildnessoutdoors I agree
Good setup. I would keep birch bark in foraging pouch to save some space in SERE pouch especially if you don't use it that much. I love the minimalism concept 🖐🤠🏕
I hear you though the foraging pouch closes up pretty tight!! Thanks for watching 😁
Great review ❗⭐💯
Thanks 😊
It's a great belt kit, just from the rain I suspected that you are for real, but the real tell is that you carry an extra space for collectibles.
If I can share my experience, I was also using a thin-ish belt like you do, and once I tried a wider surplus load bearing belt I never looked back. I don't like overly thick battle belts, but the military issued webbing belts are really fine.
For molle kits probably the PLCE or US are better, I switched to the german type entirely, but it has unique attachments.
Ain't raining, ain't training!
The British Army surplus belts seem quite popular too though I still prefer this smaller setup to carry the essentials and anything else is still easily available in my rucksack.
Thanks for watching!
I'm career (or rather was) US Army infantry. I did a lot of overseas cross training. I hate to say it, but I liked our stuff the most. Some of the mountaineering stuff from Switzerland was great for that environment though.
That a nice belt kit, like most of us I’m sure you have items in you pocket also, just subbed you.
Appreciate it! I've a few more kit videos in the works :)
Very nice and simple. To many folks over build belt kits I think. I would suggest adding a bandana. It has many many uses but when carrying cutting tools it can be an emergency compress, a tourniquet etc. Speaking from personal experience.
That's my green bandana on the ground, it pulled double duty as a backdrop lol
To and too are different words with different meanings.
You need a poncho (or two) and/or two construction trash bags for a minimal sleep system! What about a canteen with a nesting canteen cup and stove? Does it rain non-stop year round? You need a real IFAK, especially if you go out alone! A few snacks to keep your energy up because shit happens and things can go downhill very quickly!
All of those items are in my main kit.
Nice micro kit well planned need a small water purifier like one of those sticks and I believe as long as you have the tarp or maybe a Helicon poncho lined
I have all of that and more in my main kit 😁 thanks for watching!
Nice 👍
Thanks 😊
Nice tick remover, very compact. Never seen this one.
I usually go for the most compact kit I can find. It's a Lifesystems Tick Removal Tool :)
Very useful
Thanks 😊
Respect👍
Poland🇵🇱🤙
Thank you!
Really nice. I would like to be as minimalistic as you are, but I end up with a few more items. However, the only one I really would recommend is a good first aid bandage or Israeli bandage.
I agree and I've always got a full first aid kit in my rucksack which is never far away. Thanks for watching 😁
Nice belt kit! Well done. Nice channel. New follower here. Crow✌️
Thanks man! Some EPIC looking hikes on your channel there! Some hiking videos coming soon from myself too!
Top irmão!
Obrigado 😁
Hey nice vid bro. What is the sleeve for the bahco laplander you use there?
Thanks man, it's a Condor P90.

😁
Nice kit! Do you find the Mechanix gloves to work well in the bush as well as general work?
Thanks!
I mainly use them in the woods and they're great. I've used them a few times around the house and garden etc. and they've performed well too. Surprisingly, you can even operate a touchscreen phone with them on too!
@@wildnessoutdoors Excellent! Thank you!
Nice set up, I'm wondering about where i can get the pouch your saw is in?
It's a Condor P90 pouch.

Fits pretty well as standard, though the velcro flap is adjustable for a snugger fit :)
@@wildnessoutdoors thank you, I'll chase that up.
Not trying to discourage your set-up. I would add a wider belt and an emergency fishing/trapping kit to what you have. Just my 2 cents worth. Have fun young man.
Thanks for your feedback. It's not a survival belt, it's just for keeping a few tools close to hand. If I was building a survival belt it would be very different!!
@@wildnessoutdoors Fair enough. Still enough your time in the great outdoors.
There is no way you need a trapping kit for some UK bushcraft (I’m assuming UK) discounting the legality over here, youre never more than smelling distance from a chippy 😂🤣
Aye go foraging down the High Street for a sausage supper lol
Thank you 4 video. Botle or canister? Some cover for shelter? Good wishes from Russia.
My bottle and cover stay in my main backpack. Thanks for watching.
Peace ✌️
What you don't want is having gear affecting your bodily motion and inability to concentrate - for example your Mora knife. I glued 2 pieces of 1/2 inch webbing to my sheath for placing the knifed sheath horizontally on my belt to eliminate any motion affecting my ability to concentrate. Additionally, it is far easier to withdraw the knife from the sheath rather from a vertically placed sheath. Currently I've taken a one inch diameter aluminum tubing and vised and hammered it into an oval shaped 10 inch long compartment. Then I drilled lightening holes in it and then covered it with Wilson tennis wrap. My bushcraft Carona saw is locked inside one end and My Mora knife without sheath sits in the other end ready for mounting on my belt.
That sounds badass. Does the sheath sit across your lower back then?
@@wildnessoutdoors No, it sits up front on my side for swift knife deployment if needed. The saw blade is inside set in place with bolt and wing nut. I like the fact that I have both knife & saw together. I have the knife blade edge protected with heat moldable plastic when using the saw.
Nice!!
(in portuguese Brazil) Obrigado por compartilhar! Eu colocaria 1 ou 2 sacos plásticos tipo "zip lock". Para guardar qualquer coisa. Por exemplo: água.
Eu tenho sacos de água em kit separado :) Obrigado!
It's not necessarily a survival item. Some instant coffee and honey is great to keep energy and moral booster. Also honey has some great medicinal properties.
I prefer peanut butter 😊 though it probably doesn't have medical properties lol
I have the same knife
Great minds think alike brother!! lol
C’est
Add some food. e.g. some protein bars
My food is in my main kit, but yeah there's often a protein bar or snickers in my pocket lol 😆
Nice but too much unnecessary duplication…backup knife backup saw etc…"………puritabs? Water bag?
I have water carrying and purification capabilities in my main kit. I personally believe in redundancy items, especially knives. Thanks for watching 😁
@@wildnessoutdoors so why carry a belt kit If you have a rucksac?
And if you are carrying a belt kit and become separated from your rucksac…no water carrier and no puritabs in that scenario!
So what’s the purpose of carrying a belt kit with all your survival bits in if you cannot carry procured water.?
Just asking.
It's not a survival belt. It's a convenient way to have my tools close at hand while I carry out tasks around camp.
Do you even know what sere stands for.
Depends which country little hobbitssesss
Don't record in the rain mate.
The noise makes it too annoying to watch. 😕
Thanks for the feedback.
I love the idea of a belt for bushcraft. Because I tend to over pack a backpack. The belt keeps it more skill oriented than gear! What is the pouch you keep the Baco saw in?
It's a Condor P90 pouch.
