Great video

I love this, some stuff I didnt think about, i havent got a millbank bag but it's a great idea to have as it will save my sawer filter getting wrecked

Looking forward to seeing your new videos,new subscriber,how much does your pack weigh?interested in seeing the tent and specs

Look at welding supply stores for tinted safety glasses, ive used them for years as safety an sun glasses and much cheaper, at least in the US

Nice gear holms, where is the boomerang at youngin. We use slingshots out here in the Shenandoah. Enjoy

You have a good variety of gear. What I noticed is you do not carry flagging tape or surveyor tape. For our mountanace areas here in Northern British Columbia Canada I don't go out with out trail marking tape to find your way back.

There is a waterproof bag made for 2-way radios. Just incase you get that one to work

Nice kit. I would suggest a Grayl filter bottle instead of the straw filter. Research them and you'll see why.I suggest one.

Thanks, perhaps one day! I will focus on putting up a couple more vids soon :)

It may be too late, but if you're planning to replace that uv-5r you might consider the uv-s9+. I noticed you're not using the battery that can be charged from USB but i find that to be the biggest reason to get the s9+. Additionally the battery is slightly higher capacity and it uses all the same accessories as the uv-5r, all in the same footprint. No extra accessories required as the battery that comes with it can charge directly from a battery bank via USB. Uses the same programming cable. It does use the BF8 profile for CHIRP.

@4KDave I would imagine the fewer things you need to keep on hand, like a charge cradle, the better. The S9+ is a little longer than a 5R but much shorter than a 5R with the extended battery. Don't know if it matters, but it's also available in some bright colors. It does use different antennas as the SMA is recessed a bit, but an adapter to use an external antenna fits the same. By the way, it seems to take a beating fairly well, or I got lucky. Knocked mine down a mine. Survived bouncing around and landing about 100ft down. Found the battery at about the 50ft level.

Maybe it's better for your environment. You'd know better, but I don't like those straw type filters. Personally, I prefer something like the Sawyer where I can easily fill another container. My current go-to is the MSR Trailshot. Lightweight, but let's me pull water into any container and not just drink from the source. There is a new version out that you might also be interested in given the quick-connect on your bladder. It's a Trailshot set up to also be a gravity filter by using quick-connect points that could probably plug directly into your bladder. This would allow you to fill your bladder without removing it if you have a QC for the bite valve, too.
