One thing that I missed in this video was a compass. I normally carry a Suunto MC-2 or an old Silva Scout. I always find it interesting to see what others carry into the woods. Some people get along just fine with a half bottle of water and granola bar, others like to carry 35lbs of gear in a frame pack for 3 hour hike ha ha. Thanks for watching, let me know what your favorite items are to pack along outdoors!

I always carry a loud whistle when outdoors and even often in the city. I also always have a compass. What compass depends on where I travel but a decent button compass is the minimum and also useful in unknown big cities. Even though they are often not 100% accurate they can give a global direction and prevent you from walking in circles.

@@Scablands_Scavenger Having a loud whistle was always mandatory in my classes and on the packlist. I was teaching survival to future survival instructors and one went 'for a walk' in the evening. He came back 1,5 hour later because he couldn't find the camp back even though we has a rather big campfire. He had a whistle in his pack but didn't take that pack with him. Since then I made it mandatory to carry a loud whistle on your person 24/7. But I also recommend it for urban survival, most of all for women. Criminals have one thing in common. They hate attention from the crowd and a loud whistle always attracts attention from the crowd.

👍👍👍 .. nice 😊. 'EDC' 🙄 .. 'very much of a muchness' as many would tend to believe 😏. That said, like yourself, I have a fascination with 'how / what people do stuff' and your setup has some subtle variations that are well worth mulling over 🤔 .. and mulling is good 😊. I currently live in Switzerland and no longer need to maintain (or can sensibly afford to) a motor vehicle .. the Swiss Public Transport Infrastructure being such that it is no longer absolutely necessary to run a vehicle. It is absolutely First Class .. the finest that I have experienced. Thus, I commute quite a bit and being retired, have the time to do so. Commuting and walking (which includes plenty 'forest time' .. I live adjacent to one) gives me time to observe (and learn from .. which I do) what others around me are wearing, carrying on / with them and doing (the how to). The 'doing / how to' is of special importance for me as one can learn much from watching others doing stuff at which they are good. I get great satisfaction watching a 'craftsman' (all genres) practicing their 'Art'. A Memory .. back in the 70's, as an Underground 'Shift Boss' (Shift Supervisor) on a South African Gold Mine, I spent a fair amount of time sitting on the Underground Sub-Shaft Stations waiting for the 'Cage' (Lift) to transport to another Level (the Shaft surrounding Tunnel Infrastructure was new / still under development and thus was for the time being, the only means of Ingress / Outlet .. getting in or out or up and down between Levels.. aka a 'Single Outlet'). There was a 'Boiler Maker' (Construction / Fabricator / Welder) who used to fabricate steel / pipe work on the well-lit and relatively spacious Shaft Stations for later installation inside the Workings. Some of the Construction being quite complex and intricate .. 8" / 10" / 12" Steel Pipes for 'Make-Ups .. Steelwork, etc, etc. He had two Assistants and his name was Andries aka 'Dries'. A tall, thin, quiet, unassuming and humble Man. Watching him perform his Trade was highly satisfying .. thick steel plating cut with an Oxy-Acetylene Torch as if with a Scalpel, and the Quality of Welds to be seen to be believed! And .. his Steel Pipe 'Makeup Pieces' (measured for earlier, inside the workings under less-then--optimal conditions and then constructed back at the Shaft Station) .. when installed, they fitted perfectly .. every time! Me, sitting on the Station, waiting for the Cage, watching Dries quietly getting on with it .. 'performing his Art', for me, was an absolute pleasure and something that I have never forgotten. My apologies for the long drawn out 'useless information' 😏 .. your Post, besides being interesting and relevant for me, also awakened memories from way back which I felt the need to share (I 'am' retired you know .. 😁). Thanks for the share .. take care ..

What I carry depends on my purpose outdoors. I can easy be the 35lbs guy or the granola bar guy. This was a cool video to see what you choose to take with you

Good to see you again my brother

Bug reppelent for summer time. Great video. Learned alot thank you

This looks okay for a day pack in mild weather! I'd rather have the 35lb.+ for any hiking because then when it's actually needed I'm used to it and have it! I hike in the Colorado Rockies and I have experienced (on the fourth of July) a sunny warm morning about 60 degrees that changed (going up the mountain) in less than an hour to below freezing and a very sudden snow storm! I throw on my poncho, hid under a pine tree and waited for the storm to pass which it did after about three hours with the temperature going back up to about 50 degrees and everything wet! Without my gear, I would have been uncomfortable at best; yes, I did learn this by experience! I would add a wool blanket, a tarp for shelter (if your poncho is your shelter then you're stuck in your shelter in bad weather plus it adds an extra layer of warmth) and this allows you to have a 'base' camp so you don't have to carry everything on every little detour (just your 5-10Cs), like following a fresh animal track! And finally, FOOD, yes, you can survive without food for several day but why be deliberately hungry when you don't have to be! I like the skewers idea as it would be great for cooking small game and fish! Thanks for the video!

New sub here. I see that you addressed the compass and whistle issue in another comment. 👍🏼 I find that a good wrist compass helps me navigate without having to stop so often to use the lensatic. I keep a signal mirror in all my kits. Also like to have a magnifying glass in my fire kit. And maybe a knife sharpener. I also like to have a toothbrush. Other than that, yours looks like a well thought out kit. I tend to be tool-heavy. Not that I need everything, but just for convenience. The get-home bag in my jeep only weighs 19 pounds. I live 16 miles from where I work, and only 4 of those miles are in the city.

Proverbs 14:13 Laughter might hide your sadness. But when the laughter is gone, the sadness remains. ‭Ecclesiastes 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter; it may sadden your face, but it sharpens your understanding. When you have sorrows be happy because it sharpens your understanding. ‭Ecclesiastes 7:4 Someone who is always thinking about happiness is a fool. A wise person thinks about death. ‭Proverbs 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. Do not be wise in your own mind be humble and think of others as better than yourself. ‭Proverbs 3:7 Don’t trust in your own wisdom, but fear and respect the Lord and stay away from evil. ‭Proverbs 25:20 Singing happy songs to a sad person is as foolish as taking a coat off on a cold day or mixing soda and vinegar. ‭Ecclesiastes 7:10 Never ask, “Oh, why were things so much better in the old days?” It's not an intelligent question.

@@Scablands_Scavenger Especially a tourniquet as you can bleed out in 2-3 minutes!

that might suffice down to 60F, as long as there's no wind or rain. In other words, your cover element is COMPETELY inadequate. A 1 lb net hammock removes the steep hillside issue, as well as mud, snow, rocks, thorns, bugs, snakes, roots, brush issue. Another 3 lbs of the right gear will have you sleepin ok at 34F, in wind and rain, in just cammies, unlaced shoes, 3 pairs of sock liners, gloves, balaclava and shemagh. This includes a couple of camo nets and bugnet "suits", which have other uses, but can be worn as "longjohns" With about a bushel of dry debris (ideally, tall grass) you can be sleeping ok at 20F or hiking ok at 10F. If you've got a jacket and longjohns, you can take that temp down another 10F degrees.

He did say it all depends on environment. The poncho shelter is enough when I go to a tropical rain forest but not in the arctic. The tomahawk can be useful in the arctic but has little use in the rain forest. And what's with this F anyway? Learn metric like the rest of the world.

Thanks for sharing your setup, sounds like a pretty well stocked camp setup. I always envy guys that use hammocks, In the arid areas I frequent, a lack of trees make them not much use to me unfortunately. I have never been able to get comfortable in one, and find without a good under quilt I get as cold as setting on the ground but see why people like them for weight and packability. A basic genuine ripstop nylon surplus poncho has been my go-to for emergency shelter and occasional motorcycle camp for a few decades now, but definitely agree a bug net is a good addition. I have a solo seek outside bugnet "nest" that works well with a poncho/tarp or my "little bugout" shelter in summer, but never really felt the need to carry it in a day pack. I would definitely add a packable jacket and change or two of socks in winter, but typically carry a different pack with load bearing support for more weight.

@@clivedunning4317 Thanks for your response and clarification. I assumed he was American but didn't know the background. The author of the video (Scablands Scavenger) says it's all personal en it depends on environment and also that it's a basic survival kit. Where I live (The Netherlands) and travel (usually some tropical rain forest) I prefer a stainless steel small camp knife and a machete instead of a tomahawk but that's beside the point. I agree with the idea of having some smaller sharp tool for food prep and small tasks and a heavier one for more robust tasks. But that's my personal choice and totally depends on where I live and travel. There's no way I'm gonna sleep on the jungle floor so I always bring my hammock but it's pretty useless if there are no trees. Happy trails to you too.
