    Yes, that's what I learned too, along with carrying actual bait with you. I'll throw in my two pennies worth as well here and say...I take a drinking straw and fill it with Berkley's Crappie Nibbles, and melt both ends shut. There's really no sense or excuse for not having 10 to 15 of those little things in every fishing kit. The last thing I want to be doing is hunting for bait so I can fish.

    Hi, as an ex 3 Para soldier from the sixties I am very familiar with the 58 pattern webbing and the bergen. I used the combination of those two until my demob in NZ in 1977. We used the same kit in all of our operating theatre’s but added an extra bottle in hot climates. The point we made is to keep the weight down as what we jumped with is what we carried. Mess tins are not necessary items, mugs do the job for brewing up, heating food and washing and shaving. I had to live on ration packs in our first 1961 tour in the Gulf and hated the Brit rations, think of tinned cheese that had gone liquid, Liver & bacon for a week as some idiot packet that for a weekly re supply drop! We made up our own E & E tins using tobacco tins. The most necessary item everyone forgets is soft toilet paper, round pebbles are no substitute for it in Oman jebels! Extras to be scrounged before a long patrols were :- tins of bully beef, oxo cubes, dried hers, curry powder, pre cooked rice, gee and tins of tobacco. Oh yea, a good shovel + steel file, an American poncho and a lightweight blanket. Yes, it gets cold at night and even rains in deserts! Oh the simple days of just Survival! Cheers mate Harera

Whether it's a vest, a shirt, or a field jacket, let's see what we can fit in there . . .

    When I initially served with the British Army,, in the 1980's our belt kit layout was very similar, with SAS survival tins. Many of us used two cups instead of mess tins, due to the old 58 bottle and cup were plastic. So we use to carry the original 58 webbing metal cups to cook and poor the hot water into the plastic cup to drink and using the metal cups to eat out of. The Germans had another way of doing this, with a double metal cup system, that use to attach both ends of the water bottle. I still use my metal cup and old water bottle, and for a number of years, the US water bottle, cup and lid system.. Always interesting to see how things have developed, and I find this Ranger on You Tube extremely useful. Well done.

    Sir, T Y for your dedication. Lofty Wiseman says in his manual IIRC basically that 2 quarts of water will get you through 24 hours of maneuver at 120 degrees F. In dry desert I would add at least 3 more quarts to that somehow. Belts alone have the tendency to drop around your ankles. Not just embarrassing. Good to be able to convert the belt instantly to a torso pack. Contents to add are Tylenol, cough drops, and disinfectant. T Y again!

The Dutch cup is preferrable to drink from with a rolled rim and fits the USG bottle. My own belt has more brew kit items and confectionary, with trail mix etc, and at least 2 pouch meals with MRE heating bags if lighting a fire is a no no.

It sharpens easily to a scalpel a scary sharp edge (sharper than Moras) yet it holds it's edge forever and it's tougher. Best materials perfectly executed.

Even the V-42 was very rarely used for its original purpose. they used them for opening packets and cans. It might be of interest that the original Commando instructors actually had a wilkinson-sword small to medium bowie style blade which was far more useful as a field knife. My great uncle was RM Commando in ww2 including D-Day and he had the bowie hunting knife and also the FS, the latter never being used all his field tasks were done with the issue folding pocket knife or the hunting blade. Killing with an FS is not as simple as it seems in the movies either but i will not elaborate on that.

    A caution and a tip for you to consider: tip - always use a harp (bow) with that POS wire saw. Those split rings are not actually for handles, but can be used as such. Caution - Otherwise its life expectancy is about 2 minutes, in part due to the extreme heat that is developed. There are superior types out there and I recommend swapping it out for a better one.

    Do you know why they are called Commando wire saws? It is because they can also be use as a garrotte when escaping. If you are in a rush to escape you don't carry anything like a harp. Too large, bulky, etc. And the split ring can be replaced with other types of handle. Just speaking as a former Aus SF dude.

Note pads can be done the same way and are cheaper than the ones bought on line from gear suppliers.

    Nice kit , I would ditch the square dixie pots completely , you are right to carry 2 SS cup cantens , however , what you should do is use one for drinks ONLY & the other IF you need to heat/cook meat or can of food . Also run a longer lanyard on your compass , tie to belt . Get a 4 mag pouch , use on weak side , that gives you a xtra pouch on the right , push the pouches to the sides & rear , leaving the front clear to lie down , also get a thick needle & strong thread , if you need to repair your pouches or belt/harness . I presume the belt buckle is a alloy alpin QD , if using a plastic fastex type , you need to change to a more robust buckle/adjustment , either a metal alpin type of steel roll pin type . Had by fastex buckle stood on and it broke one side , so my belt order could not be closed/tightened , not something you want to have to put up with in the field .

    I request a video: every prepper on YT puts out a video about various go bags, grab bags, 72hr bags etc but how about a video about relocating and starting a fresh from scratch. Covering the equipment such as all the 10C’s but also seeds, equipment for establishing a camp even a homestead, shovels, pick axe, sledge hammer, equipment to establish full water treatment. Animal husbandry. It soon becomes evident that all the equipment can’t be carried on one persons back. I feel this sort of video needs to be produced to extinguish the dream of so many that it’s possible to set off into the wild with a rucksack and an MRE or 10. Tip: a wheeled travois or a man powered cart would be required.

    A moose broken to pack could be useful in Alaska. You don’t have to feed them like you do dogs. Probably better winter survivors than horses. Polish soldiers in Italy in WWII had a Eurasian bear trained to tote ammo boxes. You never know until you try.

    Holding a compass in your left hand! I know about bias but never knew that this could counteract strong side bias. I always keep a whistle tied to my compass. In a non tactical env, high viz lanyards and tags help stop equipment loss.

    I see you like Irish breakfast tea. Shows much wisdom and taste (kidding). I like the concept and that the 2nd level part would probably weigh less than 18 pounds-- guessing of course. At least I know the 2 quarts of water weighs 4 pounds. If I'm right about the weight then I'm going to hook up with a circus.

    I have a suggestion for alternative ammo pouches. Why not use USGI issue triple mag pouches,with the built-in grenade pouches. That way you can put your compass in the grenade pouch, still have 3 more grenade size pouches left and eliminate the separate compass pouch. Just a thought. Thanks.

    Canadian Forces had this issue, at least in the 80s/90s. There was Fighting Order (webbing without buttpack), Battle Order (webbing with buttpack), and Marching Order (Ruck, with webbing slung over it as it would not fit under the ruck). That was a big pain, if you had the drop the ruck upon contact. I'm sure today it's sorted with tac vest.

    So no maps, IFAK, trail mix or stripped down rations. That is not the way I was taught in Oz SF. You need to reduce the size of the marker panel, it takes too much space. Use a smaller one considering you have the pen flares. Get rid of the mess tin set, it is not required for E&E as there are already 2 metal cups canteen in the belt. On for water, one for food. This frees up room for some rations which can be contained in Ziplock bag. This also allows room for the maps, IFAK and the extra rations. Finally, always have this E&E belt held up by suspenders / webbing. That way the weight is not concentrated on the belt thus pulling down the trousers.

    You inspired me to dig out my small survival kit from 45 years ago. I had it in a training skin decontaminating kit container. Had the list of contents written on some card stock on the inside of the lid. I should update it because many things have been downsized since then. My small glass signal mirror has started to delaminate and getting black around the edges. Center is still clear and usable but a metal one is much thinner. Fire starters are much smaller now. I had a collapsible broadhead arrowhead in mine. Did you have waxed dental floss in your's? I think I used to carry the kit in an extra ammo pouch. My big survival kit had a penguin flare as well so that was fun to see. I also had a small fishing kit taped to my K-Bar sheath.

    The prank birthday candles that can’t be blown out are sorta nice. They’ve become very small diameter but they’re hard enough to blow out that they can be a good help for starting a fire. Especially if you can keep them out of the wind while lighting the tinder bundle/bird nest.
