I really like this kit! I am becoming more minimalist, for two reasons.1 focus more on the enjoyment of the outdoors and not the weight of the pack and fooling with gear, most of what is not needed. 2 I’m older with lots of mileage, my large pack carrying days are over. This system makes it so much enjoyable! Thanks, got you subbed

I'm the same way. Unless I'm going out for multiple days, I'm going lightweight with minimal gear. It's just more enjoyable. Thanks for the comment and sub!

An above average video for sure. You certainly got some interesting comments here lol. The 5 and 10C's are a solid starting point to any kit and ready for adaptation. Nice work brother!

You were recommended to me... first video of yours I have seen. Taking Dave's classes is definitely a great idea! He definitely has developed a system that works for his teaching! No doubt a hall of famer! But he also gets his info from others... Ridgeline for example.. looking forward to watching more videos! Everything was correct as far as I'm concerned... but I'm not a yt video guy either! Haha! Keep up the great hard work! Dave has a ton of knowledge! Absorb all you can my friend!

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can appreciate the fact that you have such a low level of weight. Yet, I don’t fully believe in the gear not falling out if your running. I get how it is looped over then re looped after tying it around your waist, but I’ve had times where I have done that with other items with bandanas and other variations of 100% cotton and I’ve felt it loosen and I did (thankfully) see a item fall out of the twisted up cloth I had it in. Maybe it’s because I didn’t tie if like you did. I just don’t trust it. I’d rather use a usgi surplus waist pack to hold it all. I’d rather waist like.. .50-.75 of a pound to carry something without worry anything will fall out.

A waist pack would definitely be more secure. This setup is more about weight and simplicity, and I've never personally had anything fall out of it.

Very good.

Nice Outrider, I've got a Hercules 👍 The big SAK's don't get enough love ! Bank line is much better value than Paracord, but unfortunately very hard to buy outside North America 🫤

They really don't. It's always the smaller EDC size SAK's that people talk about, but I prefer the larger ones.

Great option for when you don’t want to carry a pack. I appreciate the shemag for the potential to act as a mosquito net, protecting head and neck, especially if you need to sleep. Might as well wrap some duct tape around something, and include a little compass.

Exactly, you can always add to the kit.

just a thought... reduce the spool. A dowel works wonders or hank the cordage into manageable lengths

Very original

Nice kit

I see a major flaw in this, you have to dismantle your bundle every time you need a drink of water, which means you have to stop or go with out water which is not healthy. Actually you don’t have enough water carrying capacity anyhow. I see no advantage with this over a small day pack or haversack of some kind.

@theaveragewoodsman6002

Honestly, it's not that big of a deal to stop to get a drink of water. I trip over water here in Florida, so carrying something like the Grayl is fine. I agree that a day pack is overall better for most people. This is a minimal, lightweight kit option.

The gryll has become a huge game changer for an individual. It doesn't work the most efficiently for a group setting tho. Thanks for sharing, im going ro watch a few more of your videos.

I don't agree with the 5 C's, let alone the 10 C's, of survivability as presented by Dave Canterbury. I think 'Coordination' in the terrain is a lot more important so you don't get lost in the first place. Something like a compass as a minimum for instance. Next is 'Communication' in case you do get lost and that can be as simple as a loud whistle. You added one but it's not even in the 10 C's. 'Care' is another one and that means from a booboo kit to taking some (prescription) medication and maybe even some sweets to give you a sugar boost. Btw. A lightweight daypack is still also a container because it contains all your stuff. 'Cover' can also mean just a rain jacket or poncho. So I sure don't agree with the 5 C's by Dave Canterbury.

The 5 and 10 C's are categories, not specific items. You can add to the categories if you want. Meaning that things like your clothing are considered cover and you pack is a container. Moreover, a compass is one the 10 C's. Thanks for the comment.

@@theaveragewoodsman6002 Some are categories (numbers 1 to 4 and 10 on the list), some are not (numbers 5 to 9 on the list). Or can you tell me what 'category' Cordage, Cotton bandanas, Cargo tape, Compass, Cloth sail needle are? So out of the 10 C's 5 are categories and 5 are not but rather specific 'items' instead. Still categories missing are 'Communication, Care, Coordination (in the field) (besides the compass), Construction' (including repair) to name a few but probably the most important category missing is 'Common sense'. I like to go out in nature (including jungle) in countries like Colombia and Thailand for instance but a 'Cotton cloth needle' is gonna save my life? Where are the stories that somebody saved their life because they had a 'cotton cloth needle'? I never heard of a story like that and I'm a survival instructor since 1986.
