In the beginning of your video you mentioned Goodwill. I can totally agree with you that there are some pretty surprising things. At your local Goodwill store as far as camping and hiking gear and equipment are concerned. I have found some amazing deals on the above mentioned items at my local Goodwill store before. Everything from a The North Face 65 liter backpack, rain jacket, Big Anges sleeping bag, and other goodies. Just goes to show that you don't have to spend a lot of money on some good camping and hiking gear.

You have a nice presentation, as in you speak well and have your thoughts pretty well organized. You are knowledgeable on your topic. You aligned your camera well, something that I find extremely irritating on some channels, even those with thousands of subscribers. A couple of suggestions, make an outline or draft bullet points for what you want to convey in your video. If you need other equipment not within easy reach, make it readily accessible and immediately usable for your presentation. Pulling contents from an assembled kit is a little like opening Christmas presents and is entertaining as the viewer anticipates what is next; however reassembling the kit is just time consuming and unnecessary. Finally, you have a very pleasing personality and should do very well on KZread. Good luck with your channel.

Nice. For me my cup nests INSIDE perfectly, instead of outside. I simply put my own bandana into the stanley, then my cup, fold the bandana into the second cup and then throw all the supplies inside the cup, shove the bandana down and on the top I have anywhere from 2-5 instant hot drinks, usually coffee and cider. I carry a lighter with duct tape on it inside, also have had a propane converter for years, a folding titanium spork, and a green scrub pad. Only stuff used for eating is in the kit and I consider it a backup lighter. Otherwise I have a medical bag (small) and a completely dedicated fire bag, which is a ferro and another lighter. Always 2 lighters in total and one ferro, I do NOT carry tinder other than duct tape which I've never really had to use. Never had a problem finding/making tinder even when it's soaked.

All and all it’s a good pack. Also, your video skills are improving. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing. The average walking speed is 3 mph on good flat ground. I see you have hills in your neck of the woods, so travel speed may be that or less. Even a small injury could slow your progress. Unless you know for sure you will be able to double time it and not stop, you’re probably looking at an 8-10 hour hike from work to home. Aside from that, unless you’re traveling on familiar roads, walking at night in an emergency can be disorienting even to experienced orienteers. You might want to look at making your GHB overnight capable. It wouldn’t take much. A tarp for shelter. A blanket (even a Mylar blanket) for warmth. A cup/pot to hold water and heat up your bouillon. All of these items could be strapped to your pack and not take up room on the inside.

I use a MSR stove. For faster boiling times, use a pot with a wider footprint so the flame has plenty of surface to make contact with.. The tall/skinny Stanley pot is slower to boil water as the flame comes in contact with such a small bottom surface. I suppose it doesn't matter if you have extra fuel and aren't in a hurry.
