and as always....
Stay in the Woods,
Dan
The difference I think is that you actually USE this kit. Many will talk about the kit, and many will put together a kit, some will even have the skills to use that kit, but few will actually use the kit at all. Great video…as always.
@MachizTV: As someone who hikes with a similar kit yet rarely uses more than 10% of it, I feel personally attacked by this statement.

No one that actually knows anything about bug out or get home bags would leave this comment.
@@JefCollier Wut??
Seek permission before you make Any unauthorized Statements!!
You forgot how they post numerous times about being excited about going camping or post pictures of the kit and or new gear they never use. Maybe we could just buy some of these complete kits at a discount from them for extra bags.
Great Kit! The only suggestion I would add is a small personal first aid kit, plus add a small knife sharpener to maintain the blade.
Not all those that wander wonder. Love your show.
love your “Keep It Simple Stupid” approach to gear. Awesome. 🤙🏻
Side pockets and compression strap on the pack would be a must for me , ability to put a water bottle on the outside , and strap a saw or small hand axe.
Dan, I don’t need a survival bag. I wanted to hear your lecture and was well rewarded. Thank you, Sir. Texas
Every time you say in a second, your time is up!
I'm wondering if its wandering.
All that stuff is so new and clean .
Love your simplicity on your emergency pack based on the ten cc’s! Yes, in winter more items are needed to counteract the cold, therefore cold gear is needed. Looking forward to a video on your current pack!!
Thanks Dan!!
I use the GR2 as my daypack!! Amazing backpacks
Sweet, compact, lightweight kit! Great video!!👍👍
Appreciate you showing us this clip of a go bag. I like seeing these to get ideas for my own bags. Thank you…
Another great video Dan. Fantastic as always.
Cool to see someone else use organizing bags lol
Thanks for sharing!
Enjoyable video as always. One thing I would like to add. Packs that are held closed with just a zipper are useless if & when the zipper breaks. I’ve had this happen twice while rock climbing. That’s my experience anyway.
It's so fun to see the differences of bushcrafting between Germany and the US. :D German bushcrafters: Fancy water repellant outdoor clothing which withstand the impact of a falling tree and only the most expensive military backpacks prooven by elite commandos in the northern hemisphere. Coalcracker: Ragged cotton hoodie, beanie and a daypack. Man, I like your style so much more. :D
Been putting together my bullet Ruck organized for lighter day trips and getting some great ideas here. Great video and thanks for the tips!
This guy is so handsome and so humble 👍🏼
My dedicated camping pack is a very old Microsoft promotional day pack for LAN parties, with a waist belt. I've sewn it up so much it looks like a field pack, with bank line and jute stitches on the seams. Pocket for a water bottle. The laptop compartment is perfect for a dry tarp. Tools and toothbrush in the pen and pencil holders. Bedroll and tarps tie on easily, and I've made a frame for it before, for a tent and sleeping bag, extra gear. But it's a good hiking around, exploring bag all on its own, and comfortable. Heavy weave, but it takes silicone well and stays dry.
Hi from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures and your family and everyone else
This is a fun and well taught video! Ty for all that you do Dan! 👍
With winter coming up, can you do a video on clothing/cold weather wear and layering you'd recommend?
"... your favorite bushcrafter here!" How did he know?!
Love this channel, bro
Great kit Dan! Love the smaller bags keeping your gear organized and easy to access. I saw another comment below, about first aid. Would love to hear more of your thoughts on this. Thanks Dan! Love the vids!
Great kit
Good ideas on backpack. Another one for the tool box...
Just watching you on “Alone”. Awesome.
Awesome dude and instructor right here!! Can't wait for the new packs to get dialed in,been watching and waiting!! Your awesome brother!!
Very Helpful. Thank you.
Good knowledge you have. Thank You for sharing. I'm getting some pouches so I can find stuff quicker
👍👍👍 Looking good! 👢🤠🎒🔪🪓🧭⛺🔦🍶🔎🥫🍫🧵🛠!
I've had my GR2 for many years...I use it every day, Have traveled extensively with it everywhere, multiple countries, etc....it still looks like new. Absolutely best backpack I've ever bought
Nicely done Sir!
Good stuff thanks!!!
Nice kit bag Dan
Not my preferred system though. Which is based on British army three layer belt kit kit system
1)Trouser belt with main knife always attached.
2)On webbing belt+yoke: from right hip
Water: Crusader cup bottle and cookset in pouch.
Fire:2x mess tin pouches with food and firekit stuffed inside cooking on hexamine folding stove.
Shelter; poncho roll +/-hammock
Security: machete/axe
3) Small backpack for colder weather/ overnight items ie insulation/sleep system
Would love to see a video with your take on rucking, Dan!
Fantastic video. Great content.
Well done, good items to have 👍
Thanks man👍
Great video.
Nice kit.
Great load out video Dan!! Always nice to see what a professional carries into the woods ! Take care and stay safe my friend !
Man I really appreciate your videos some of which have shown me a few things, but seriously throw a tooth brush and tooth paste in your kit most underrated needed item.
excellent video dan - really like how you put together "stuff" to carry. always something new to think about. stay well.
Perfect 👍🏻
LOVE THIS INTRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool
I use the FAST pack EDC by TAD. (Triple Aught Design). Very similar design. Same price. About 2L more of space. Strong and lightweight w/ 1000D Cordura. So, much more durable. It's a great organizer. As well, similar prices. I would recommend the EDC by TAD over this for its durability and modularity combined with more pockets and features.
Enjoyed it. Thank you Dan. The woobie is an under appreciated piece of gear! It is a great, versatile insulating layer.
Nice show and tell there and very informational Dan 👍👌✌️🇺🇸
I love gorucks gear. Ive had a gr1, bullet 15L, and rucker 3.0 20L. Got rid of the gr1 to fund other gear purchases. Their rucks are bombproof
I love all my goruck packs!!!!
Dan, hands down you are the most fun and genuinely knowledgable Bushcrafter on the UA-cams. Just wanted to say, truly love your work man. Thank you
Pretty solid kit bro
Thanks!
My Bag: Hamoc with RainFly, Underquilt + good SleepinBag. Really Easy to take down and stash for the day when you go have fun, its only 2 carabiners, wrap it in your camo RF and stash. Make 2 stashes!, 1 bed, 2 everything else. 2- 21 amp Ankor solor charger for your phone+ 2 battery packs. Polysporin, Tape ToiletPaper and Bathroom supplies. Knife, Clothing rolled up military style. Extra Chords. Food Subway. Guitar and Stuff for the beach :) As for axes and saws ect, you should already have that stuff stashed previously. :) Its a great way to explore a new city, and its quite good weight wise. Also some Wet Naps... lotsa wetnaps :)
The bag may look small. But this man is a giant
Great Commercial!!!
Yes, I would like to hear/see your take on rucking.
I love Hill People Gear packs. However, the GR1 Goruck is hands down my favorite pack. I never leave home without it. I do wish is had slash pockets for water bottles. The HPG Umlindi is a close second.
Great video because I’m heading to Wyoming to house sit for a month in September & I plan to do some day hiking in the mountains!
Thanks for the great tips to put in my day pack.👍👍👍
Great tip and thought provoker at the same time. Even if ideas can differ from people to people yours is a actually used one and we could add or change here and there. Great reference point any way.
Great kit
I have a possibles bag and carry a fire bag in it when flintlocking after Christmas. I always know where I am, but sometimes things don't look the same dragging one in the dark. LUCK is on the side of the prepared.
Doood - You da man. Love your videos
Loved the video. Small boo-boo kit or first aid kit is good to have. Always try to have one when I mountain bike. Slips in my camelback. Mesh pockets on the gr1 is like most clam shelves “small”. I usually keep a buff,instant coffee pack,and a beard comb in my pack(maxpedition agr riftcore). Granted this is my edc pack, could easily used as bike or hiking day pack. But the hidden gem of this video is your CORPORALS CORNER hoodie lol. Would love to see you guys to do a collaborative project.
Good video; I change my day bag for when I'm on the mountain with the hounds on a seasonal basis, watching this kind of thing re-enforces that behaviour as not totally daft
As society gets weirder low key packs are advisable. Last year I swapped my old faithful coyote combat pack covered in MOLLE for a dark, almost forest shade “dark army green” with limited MOLLE. It’s a good pack for EDC but my next will be full on civilian in appearance. For tactical applications I did pick up a new Helikon pack but that’s being kept in reserve for a time that we hope never comes. Great video, brother
That was an awesome kit and gave me several ideas of things to add to my kit. I think you meant wandering bushcrafter instead of wondering.
Need a boo boo kit too Dan , and I know you got protein bars in your pocket , 😉, great info as always.
Very good
I am in North Florida and not long ago we had our first cold front. The next day I went camping thinking the cold front was done. I was wrong 🥶.
I had recently replaced the sleeping bag, which would be too warm, and took a flannel sheet which was not warm enough.
Now I am packing a lightweight thin quilt, soon it will be my heavy, bulky sleeping bag.
I did make it through the night though. I was wearing pants, socks, and a sport shirt, with the sheet. I woke up cold and got my pad to put in the hammock. Later i woke up chili again so i put on a lightweight jacket and slept good.
Where did you get a wool shemaugh?! I also would love to see your adventuring.
You're sensible as usual. I carry a couple of additional things that you didn't mention which are some basic repair stuff for the ebike/tires, and a toilet kit w/trowel. I have some different levels of packs depending on how long/and far I intend to go. Basically I grab a bigger pack of stuff for a day hike as opposed to a morning walk in the woods. All of my options include a backpacking sized poncho, a few tent stakes, and line. This is regardless of whether I also have a tarp or not. (Plus the basic "5 C's")
I can tell you use that spork a lot! 😂
Thank u
"Wondering" 🤔
Or "Wandering" 🚶♂️
Hi Dan, Nice kit! I do notice, there is no first aid supplies of any kind. I alwais have some bandaids and stuff in my kit (also used to have some when I was still biking a lot).
Love that you promote carrying tinder, vs. trying to find it at the time. What is bank line and where can I find it? Thanks for the videos.
Make a video on rucking, please!
Great Video. Would be awesome if you linked each item that you have in that bag in your description so people have an easy way to get each item that they like. Cheers!
Great video Dan!
i don't know if you understand any German but i found this awesome 7day survival challenge series by some german dudes in sweden: 7 vs Wild by Fritz Meinecke. they have a bunch of of backup safety stuff but its really nice to see how these guys hold up in a "real" survival situation. thougth i share it here with anyone capable of the german language.
I can attest to the Exotac gear... they make quality gear. I have several of many of their items including those you have shown and live them all. And GoRucks are bombproof! Great video Dan! BtW, where's the food? 8-)
Nice video. What 90 degree headlamp is that you show? Thanks!!
I'm Wandering about the :Wondering Bushcrafter"... ;-)
I'd add a saw, or a buck saw blade, even if it's the saw on a Victorinox knife.
Or a leatherman
Bahco laplander is light and useful.
@@thomasapplewhite8672 silky pocket boy is even more compact than the Laplander (great saw though).
so my 4-5 year hiking light camping i learned what to take ( to my needs ) will it stand up in actual survival situation 50-50 ( better then nothing ) but I am glad I don't go unprepared so it depends on you type of activities and some items come handy in even comfort items ( like hat or jacket or container or matches even the tarp and safety item like axe or bear spray ) so after 4-5 year i got it 😊✔👍
ive never been a fan of the headlamps, but i think im coming around. i bought a nicer one about a year back that i still never use, but i recently bought a cheap one to throw in my electrical bag. getting tooo old to wire panels in the dark or trying to pinch a flashlight between my neck, and im kinda liking it. getting another cheap disposable one for the go bag might not be a bad idea.
I’d like to suggest a special forces flashlight, best one I have ever had. It is a small rectangular thing with swivel head. Fits into my jean pockets. Water proof, four different lights, takes two double As. Clip it to your vest or pocket, lasts very long time.
We already have snow on the ground here in Fort Saskatchewan/Alberta, Canada
Us too! Ketchum, ID USA ❄🎿
Try out the helikon Tex bail out bag for your winter kit. Even better clamshell type design. I will say not nearly as overbuilt
Hi Dan, I saw you on an Ol;d video from Townsends. Do you still do reenactment. I love the old ways. Otzi the Iceman was geared up that way. Of course, He had gears of his time.
A laptop pouch is a must for me.
Where can that Exotac ferro rod be bought? I searched and can only find the 5/16 . That one looks like 1/2 inch. Great video/demo. Thank you.
Awesome. How do you make your emergency fire starters?
I'm looking at the crossfire Australia DG3 and DG16
More on rucking please! And what the heck the difference is even
Great video. I'm not a total noob, but can anyone explain why I'm not seeing any "Likes"?
Dan, any suggestions on cleaning the small sharpening stone you use ?
