Great video. Down to the honest point everytime. Thats how it must be. When i was in the last grade in primary school we had what would probably be translated as field school. It was held over a weekend. It was like a outing and only once and when in the last grade. We where hiking i think we took water with us as we didnt go for a far hike . We wouldve probably not got lost if the field ranger had a compass. We walked in circle for 2 to 3 times ans then used a different road which led us back to camp. If we would get lost again,the ranger would radio in for the other rangers to come get us. We learned few basic stuff but you where told and shown. Not really given chance to practise. So high five to schools that actually have scouts. Im honestly thankful for your effort corporal and im subbed with few channels. Your and andrews channels i watch the most. Thanks

once again you make it all seem doable God bless

As an ultra-light hiker, I looked closely at your set up. You are NOT poorly weighted at all. “Base” weight is subjective, really. Shelter, pack, sleep system is the BARE minimum of what’s called base weight. You can pull together a sub 8 lb set up easily. BUT, that counts nothing else! I look at a set up as being EVERYTHING you will be carrying, minus water/food. That is the set weight you have. To do a sub 15 lbs is again, doable. My 4 day set up, everything plus food and 2 liters of water, 24-25 lbs. im happy with that. Could I get it lighter? Yup. I could knock 2-3 lbs, but then you’re missing stuff you would like. So, you weights are not bad at all. Keep up the good work, brother!!

@@douglasfoley2060 yup, I can day hike with a pack down to 4-5, with minor food, .7 Liter of water with tablets, and do ok. But, I’ll be honest, I do like sleeping comfortable. At the weights I listed, I DEFINITELY have comfort items. ( pillow, pad and foam pad, etc) those of use who regularly do sub 10 are considered ultralight hikers. The best part? So many options of how low you can, or want, to go. I’m glad you’ve dialed your base to its best for you and your hike!! Nail some trails!!🏔🏔

I was just saying the same thing, to get the bare minimum minus food or any extra clothing 20 25 lb base, I've gotten a little less than 20 just because I switched some stuff to Titanium but it's small amounts here and there

Knew an old man that bird hunted and always wore a wool vest. He carried a pack of lucky strikes in one of the pockets for many years after he had quit smoking...almost 20yrs later. He carried them because he had started a fire in an emergency with a couple old dried out cigarettes using the paper and the crushed to powder dry tobacco to hold an ember.

I long distance hike while hunting, generally in an off-again/on-again swamp, South Louisiana. Everything you’re carrying is spot on as per use, weight, adaptability. I also carry a small first aid kit- Israeli trauma bandage, tourniquet, quick-clot sponge, and disinfectant (isopropyl alcohol). Also, 1 concentrated bleach tablets from laundry area in a small zip lock bag. I almost always fabricate/carve a walking stick- snakes are a real problem.

Sorry I’m late to the party, but spent Sunday with my oldest and dearest friend (best buds over 60 years) who is battling pancreatic cancer. He will always come first. Having said that, thanks Corp for demonstrating new equipment, the poncho is pretty cool and is multi functional. Me my sons and grandsons all appreciate your down to earth no nonsense demonstrations and explanations of situations and how to deal with them as well as your honest opinions of equipment and why you do or don’t think it may work. These 20+/- minutes every Sunday are fanfreakintastic! As always stay frosty AF👍

I didn't realise you could relight a flare, good to know.

When I watch videos of you in the woods, all my brain keeps screaming is TICK'S! LOL. If I walk in my well maintained yard, I am covered in tick's.

Your best survival tool is between your ears. I've heard it said that you will always run out of room in your pack but never run out of room in your mind. If it were a survival situation instead of an overnight planned trip that makes a big difference. The lid from the ravioli becomes your cutting tool, the label is fire tinder and the can your container to boil water in... Nice job on the video.

Nothing wrong with cold ravioli or spam. Great video, Corporal!

These videos are the best because you speak the truth brother

In certain situations, cold canned food is a welcomed gourmet meal. Good video, Sir.

Starting a fire like Steve! Lol

This is by far my favorite video. Minimal kit but maximum fun.

Brother you're the real deal. I have dealt with everything you have created on this site. Love you content true to every word?

Well, I’m glad you don’t have any mosquitoes. Was kinda interested in the poncho, but couldn’t get the name. Always enjoy your videos with the common sense approach.

I like the idea of the headlamp being chargeable and batteries. That’s something I need to get instead of just my charging lamps. Might not be able to charge from a solar panel etc. So rechargeable and battery option is great. Thanks for sharing brother

The meat fork is pretty solid. I loved this video. Its great to call out that road flare trick because a lot of people that aren't into camping, hiking, whatever might need to use that if they have to deal with the car breaking down in a remote area.

A lot of ultra light hikers will prepare their freeze-dried food through a process called cold soaking. They will put their freeze-dried meal in a container with water in the morning and pack it through out the day until they are ready to eat it, by that time the meal will be rehydrated.

Again, the Corporal talks and teaches basics so basically, no high tec needed. I suppose we all need to be aware of where we are going whilst hiking and in what sort of area and weather conditions. Always adapt your load for the area, weather and season. Thank you Corporal. PS, as an Englishman living in the Netherlands for 6 years i can not find Ravioli in a tin anywhere, the Dutch just do not do it. In the UK the brand made Ravioli, Spaghetti, Macaroni, Beans and other tinned foodstuffs, i really miss them now after seeing your tin on this video.

You have given us a lot of great information, some simple and some never talked about anywhere else, such as prickly heat. thank you and keep safe.

Where I live the temps go down to -30 celcius. People rarely have the appropriate equipement with them to pass the night or even a few hours in case of a sudden emergency. Very few people survive. That being said, on a positve note, I really enjoy your videos Sir. Take care !

One thing e used to do with LRRP rations (freeze dried) was add the water, roll the bag up and seal. Place in cargo pocket or inside jacket and continue patrolling/walking. Later when stopping to eat it was near body temperature. De Oppresso Liber

Good job young man God bless you and yours and God bless the USA

I'm 56 . Since I was a kid I've eaten ravioli , beefaroni , spaghettios , beans , ect from the can cold . I still do . At work ...too much competition for a microwave .

I'm beating my KZread notification to watch here again. Glad I'm on your email list. It's much more dependable than YT's notification functionality hands down.

Well done, Corporal! Thanks for the great video!

Good tips as always, thanks for the entertainment, knowledge and consistency.

That cape flip with the trench coat cracked me up. Made me think of Grandma's boy.. It wouldn't be too loud if you had robot ears 😂 perfect addition to the intro 😂😂😂

If anyone is on the fence about going to the Buckeye/Corporal class in May…I would encourage you to go!! I went the 1st week of April great weekend, great group of people. Even if you’re experienced in this type of thing.. you will learn something!!

Sometimes all the latest and greatest new gadgets are just extra weight. Great way to show how to get by with little as possible.

@@robshirewood5060 Cadet side have fond memories of the tins of "Irish Stew!" :)

To me there is a big difference in carrying emergency gear for an unplanned event that causes me to stay overnight than for a prolonged trip. If I am going hiking for some distance, I would carry the appropriate gear just as I would if traveling on the side-by-side. I like my comfort and will take the most comfortable items that I can safely carry. There's nothing wrong about any of those as long as I take the correct gear and know how to use it. I really hope that at some time in the future you and Dave can make videos without the veiled references to each other. There is room for both of you in my world and I do not think that I am alone in that sentiment. I have watched you for years, just as I have him. Carry on, good sir!!

Another point in favor of the canned food. When you eat the food, the can can be used for other things. Lost your bushpot? Use the empty can. Need a signalling mirror and don't have one? The lid is nice and shiny, as is the bottom of the can if you haven't used it for a bush pot. Heck, i've even used the lid of a tin can as an improvised knife. Would not recommend it, as it's easy to cut yourself. But if you are lacking anything else, that lid is a knife of sorts.

Excellent advice as always. Living in a temperate rainforest environment, where it can rain anytime of the year, we go into the bush prepared to get wet, and I mean wet. Starting a fire may be difficult in an emergency situation, due to extremely wet wood. Thats why I always carry my Trangia alcohol burner, with a 300ml/10 oz bottle of denatured alcohol. Weight of Trangia alcohol burner: 115g/4 oz. Fuel bottle weight: 95g/3.4 oz. Weight of alcohol: 300ml/10 oz. Total weight for all items is: 17.4 ounces, just over 1 lb. This will decrease as you use up the alcohol in the stove. This could be a life saver. My Trangia has never let me down and I'll always have it in my backpack, even on day hikes.

Awesome video thank you Corporal 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I'm 6ft 227lbs and I'm fit, so carrying this much weight is a breeze! Good video as always! Thank you!❤ Btw, I love the new small knife! I'll look that up! Found it! $28.39 on ebay!

Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

I'm too old to do this anymore. I used to, but now I just enjoy watching these. Watching these videos bring back good memories.

I like pulling up to the edge of the lake and having a little generator going and a good little fish camp setup, but there’s nothing like backpacking in and camping with minimal gear 🤙 best part about hitting the trail is losing cell service and being free for a bit

My father had a saying out of the can in to the man.

Great list!! I carry to much of things I dont use!!! So I have been dropping unnecessary gear lately!! This all great items!!

Great video mate All, the best from the UK. Just came back from hiking in the North of England. Your never alone no matter how hard you try. Sometimes you can carry nothing at all.. if you get into trouble, wait 5 minutes and some one will turn up. 😂

Great video as always Cpl. Thank you!

Never boring love it always new ideas thank-you

The foam pad is a game changer for sure

Oh, you bring back memories with that Ravioli. That was my go to quick meal in the barracks. no cooking, just out of the can, ravioli.

Thanks Shawn & stay safe.

I just got this exact poncho last week! It is a bit oversize but the added benefit of multi use as a shelter makes this a good trade off. Great video as always! Thanks!

Great as always dude. I like the way you explain everything in a real life scenario.

Thanks for taking your time to teach and instruct us! As always, GREAT Video! I have experienced the whole "Rain gear melt down" before, wear it to keep dry from the rain and end up wetter. Love that you are a realist and working and living by the KISS method to daily life/outdoors living. Disposable butane lighters and road flares as part of your kit give more meaning to the phrase "Work Smarter not Harder". Again thank you for your videos and am looking forward to the next one!

I like that you are candid and tell it the way it is. Reality, everyone should be ready to face it. You are preparing the new subscribers, the old ones are already aware from years of information from your videos.

Agree with the duct tape. I have 6' of Gorilla tape wrapped around each of my 3 Bic lighter in my ruck sack. I also keep one in my truck and motorcycle.

Bravo corporal, thanks.

Hey Kelly, you have all the right ingredients, as far as the weight it's good to pack the bag and walk around the block and see how much you can handle. I would like to see your take on an INCH bag, a lot of us might be needing that. We have to survive the zombie apocalypse coming across the border at the same time.

The Scrambled Eggs ad Spam would have been great for breakfast. Great spot for a temp shelter set up. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for all you do.

It may be the fact I have worked as a medic for a long time. Carry a real first aid kit, or make 1. It doesn't have to be all encompassing but when you are out and get hurt that's not the time to be improvising and building. Just my opinion.

Great video, Love the basics. Thanks Corporal.

These are great and relevant timing!

Long ago, a young man in my son’s scout troop twisted his ankle on an overnight hike. He was carrying duck tape in his pack and used it to duck tape his ankle over his boot as tight as could be and off we went. He was not going to miss this overnighter.

KISS concept. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
