Whose gear store would you like me to recommend to you if not my own where I have actually tested the products for months in the field before spending tens of thousands of dollars of my own money to purchase inventory and make it available to you? A gear dump has gear in it that has to come from somebody's store. Your problem is that it comes from mine?

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret It saddens me to see that kind of attitude in people! Probably they have cars full of stickers of the most obnoxious brands... Perhaps they wear t-shirts saying: "Mom always said I am an idiot" And they are worried about you speaking / selling the stuff you tested to the sweat and blood? It's disgraceful, to say the least! Don't worry mr Josh ... there are thousands of people who care about your opinions and like to learn from you! The dogs may bark, but the caravan goes ahead!

@@GrayBeardedGreenBeret ​ he worded that poorly. I'm a long time fan and I support you (and you making money off products you've field tested)! That being said the flashing on and off the screen was distracting from your content and it DID feel infomercial-ish. A lot of other content creators will say "All of the products I'm discussing here today are available on my web store - check the description for links to each one." Content creators often do this with Amazon Affiliate links but it works just as well with store links. The original poster could have worded his comment more tactfully, but sometimes asshole feedback is still valid. Semper Fi brother!

As a volunteer search and rescue technician, may I implore everyone to carry a whistle every time they are out in the woods! Three blasts on a whistle is a universal distress signal. A whistle blast will travel farther than your shouts, and the whistle won't give out anywhere near as fast as your vocal cords ;)

I agree . A whistle is number 1 .when I was a on search and rescue team we all carry GI reflecting belts to throw on are packs or a cross our chest. Orange bandanna for signal . If you use walking sticks you can put reflection tape on them

If you forgot a rescue whistle, and have a pocket knife, there's a simple way to carve a whistle using a willow branch. Video search: whittled willow whistle. Practice making them before hitting the trail. Fun keepsake, or neat gift for a favorite kid, too!

In an emergency, he’s got a plentiful and renewable tinder source growing on his face. The beard can also filter water and catch small animals. Sun protection, keeps face warm, stores ice in winter. The beard does it all.

Nowadays it's all GoreTex and other super expensive composites with a brand name targeting Gear Heads or fairly well-off Weekend Warriors.

Josh as a former 2/75 and 3/3 SFG guy thanks for putting this on. DOL.

I make fire starters using cotton balls soaked in baby oil, carried inside an old pill bottle. I can also put 3 small Bic lighters in a different pill bottle to keep them from being drained of fuel. 1 cotton ball will burn for a min or two and a 12-inch small twig will allow you to dig out a ball, light it, and place the lit cotton ball under a tinder bundle. I use old pill bottles for a lot of things, like a fishing kit, fat lighter shavings, matches, salt and pepper packets...ect.

I find your videos extremely helpful as part of my continuous survival education. I've been at it for most of my life but I still pick up useful and practical advice from KZreadrs such as yourself. If you're ever down under in Oz, you would be most welcome to drop in for your preferred brew. Well done with your highly instructional videos. Thanks mate.

I always love your choices of equipment, and you are so good at communicating the “why” behind those choices. What awesome teaching ability! Always top notch!

I am in England and way past wanting to go out in the elements, but I have watched and enjoyed your tutorials, the bow drill one was perfect, I did live in B C for a few years when I was younger and realise how easy it is to get in trouble in the bush, but like the boy scouts motto says, be prepared. I only wish I could carry all that stuff and go out on a campout but alas too old now, thankyou for your knowledge its second to none in my opinion

Consider also the following: A small birthday candle in the storm match case. (Prolongs the fire).

You are awesome man! I learned so many things being a Army Veteran, but your channel is my go to. I am going off the grid to Minnesota in a few years and spend countless hours on your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. You are what makes the world a better place and better communities of people helping one another in the craziest of times. Happy New Year!!!

I am former NSW so this an Objective assessment. Outstanding, thank you for your professionalism.

Man oh man! I keep coming back to this video as a good reminder of things I can use in my necessary bag or convenience setup. Good stuff! Thanks for test driving all that stuff and saving me the time and money on other things.

Great info and product descriptions as always Josh! Keep them coming!

I like learning new things.

I like that your first picks look so durable and you don't have any gimmick gear. I've seen a lot of suggestions but I think your kit is one if the best.

Thank you

As a blade smith I'm biased on my designs as well. Nice gear selection and explanation of your choices. Liked.

Happy New Year 2022, For the Whole Family. Greetings. Thank you for everything. 🙏

Took me 2 hours to watch this video so much information had to continuously pause to look up items and such, I've seen many videos on what to pack but this one stands out as the most precise and informative by far

The world of woods craft is a Merch Monster in size and complexity. Finding a curated set of equipment and finding it in one place is a great service as much as it is a business opportunity.

Thanks!

Excellent program! Thank you. I enjoyed it very much.

Thanks for showing us your kit. Take care.

I like your style.

I really enjoy and appreciate your explanations of why you carry what you carry. Very helpful. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work.

Great post Josh. I'm seeing some future upgrades to my own bag.

Thanks, Happy New Year,all the best.

Happy New Year mr Josh, many blessings for you and your dear ones!

Thanks Josh

Excellent set up and great information. I have moved to more lightweight options since I’m getting older. Keeps me on the trail longer.

Really good video, tons of great information. Thanks you all you do sir.

I live in Northern Canada and do lots of hunting and trapping, and just general foraging. I love how every piece of your kit has been well thought out, and many items have multiple uses. I love the knowledge in your videos compared to the usual bells and whistle guys just reviewing the latest fancy gadgets. And I am also a huge fan of the waxed canvas gear, and tried and true wool blanket. Great looking blade to man. 👍👍

Hello! from Lake LaBerge.

Good stuff brother! All high speed low drag. I trust my uberleben fire kit (twig stove, hobo pot, fire steel). I also have a back up for fire which is the Spark-lite Emergency Firestarter Kit. Comes with a brass flint sparker and TinderQuik tabs. It enables a one hand fire ignition incase I injured my hand or something. It's a high speed little piece of kit I keep attached on Bravo 1 knife sheath by ranger bands, which are also another source of. Enjoyed the gear dump brother! And thank you for your service!

Always good genuine content!

A fantastic video! Very informative, organized and well-produced. Thank you.

First off, thank you for your service sir. Great video full on info. Thanks for sharing.

Wow was pleasantly surprised by your pack. Beautifully made. Saw the same brand reviewed by a survivalist named Survival Lily a few years ago and it was also extremely well made. Takin notes as usual.

Love me a woobie! But as my blood thins you can’t beat a wool blanket 👍👍

Always good stuff and good to go over it again. Happy New Year, Be Well.

Great Video!

Nice kit for sure! Thanks for sharing.

hey there soldier - 1/9 air cav.head hunters-good coverage there Sir like what you cover with no 🐂

Nice bit of kit right there.

Being a UK veteran I favour the basha, - tarp, bivvy bag, square sleeping bag and liner with matt below, even when using a hammock. FAK, same kind of cooking system. I even have a Bergen as I used in service.

I always carry an Anker power bank. GPS on the phone is priceless backup to map n compass. And think about a blow up sleep pad. If you cant patch it....fill with debris n sew it up. Or lay it over browse bed.

Thanks sir

Thanks. Great information as always

Thanks for the practical tips!

Thanks again.

Happy New Year ! TAKE CARE..

Very interesting, it's good to pick up on this information. I have been packing camping, wilderness area's, Europe, Canada. After a spell away from the outdoors, I am very keen to learn more and get back outside.

Good advice.

Have a great New Year mate.

Pocket boys are awesome saws. First saw them at SERE in Maine and bought one as soon as I got home from that class.

Great inspiring vid. And congratulations on a fantastic knife!

Nice video👍 i never hit the bush without my kneepads, saved me a couple of times since i always have to crawl around in the most rocky and strange places. Nice to have in camp when firemaking/cooking. North Sweden😎
