+DropForgedSurvival Haha I made a day of it, it's the second one I've done and am starting to get the hang of it. Its mostly prep, the picture process is easy

[@lancersharpe]

Mate that was a seriously impressive opening sequence, well done.

[@scottmurphy4946]

That pack assembling bit you made is pretty slick.

[@keepcalmlovedinosaurs8934]

Very neat piece of equipment.

[@de14jabs]

Stop-motion can be pretty awesome

[@arvojustice]

15:22 bike inner tube + tape is the best solution. Cheap, light, and durable.

I'm into bushcraft and have seen hundreds of gear review videos with a focus on backpacks. This video was the best.

[@citizenone4546]

If CP has to bug out, just imagine how much he's leaving behind. You home would be the ultimate find for someone who comes across it while they are bugging out/trying to survive whatever lead up to the evacuation.

[@delleonthompson3234]

I’ll be ordering my Vanquest bagpack real soon. I’ve just recently started prepping, but I’ve been a preparer at heart from birth. Thanks for showing us all these new equipment that can make our lives easier on our prepping journey.

Excellent good show and tell today canadian prepper. I am improving my health & reevaluate my gear to modify for my special needs as a older lady. Thanks

@Fuzzy Wuzzy LOL its not that kind of back pack ..its like saddle bags for your dog. just so i dont have to carry all his stuff too..and its like mesh,not bulky. but yes he can get into trees. but not a issue yet.

[@everettumphrey]

I needed that laugh. Yeah, guess there is doggy saddle bags but like the folks already mention Marshall is recovering still even though he doesn't look it..

[@jsog6]

One of your best gear reviews. The “stop” motion when opening and closing the pack section was well done. The quality presentation shows you put a lot of time in presenting this gear review. I approve of you spelling out the “G” word, as no one knows how “UTbe” is gong these days. JSOG6

[@adamingram1982]

And my dad said my bag was big...lol this is a great video.. the best I've seen so far. Thank you

[@Tallacus]

Awesome kit, it made me realize I should add an AR7 to my bag, I am also getting an Adventure Mate. A wax canvas bag to hold my tent and bivy.

[@xiledpatriot5030]

Another great pack if you're looking for alot of molle attachments is the Tactical Tailor Extended Range Operator Pack. A really cool feature they have is you can attach a small bug out bag to it. Pretty pricey but extremely good quality gear.

[@richardkuhlmeyer2329]

I did not like that pack very much, your review has changed my mind. Honestly out of all the gear reviewers I watch you are by far the best. All of your videos are well thought out, and are very well done. I may not agree with ya on a few things, but your content is always top notch. Thank you Nate for doing what you do. You always do it well, and that is to be respected.

My cat is ready! Kills birds every day and he is stealth enough to kill squirrel and rabbits! He came home with a rabbit last week almost the size of him! Don't know how the hell he does that but he's the most skilled cat I ever had at hunting. Plus, he eats his kills and leaves them for me to pick up the carcasses I find in the back yard. He'd be fine in a collapse scenario and might help me if I was ever to run out of my preps.

[@marytica123]

FANTASTIC BACKPACK ! Can't believe all the carrying ability ! Have to hire a "bearer" to carry it, though - if fully loaded !

Nice pack and nice kit! It always bothers me a little to see a "g-u-n" :) stored barrel up. One of the weird things that stick with me from bootcamp years later.

[@TH-xo4zx]

I really like the stop motion assembly, gets the point across. Although personally I'm more of a light packer, this is a great setup. You could probably save a little weight just by ditching the thicc machete and sharpening the shovel etc but thats just my personal preference, not a hiker.

[@ragman2323]

Looks cool, having grow up in the bush (northern Canada), I feel there are far too many trinkets in there. More food and water for longer term should be added , in my opinion.

[@Indoor-bioactive-589]

Love the videos man! Really been helping me out with educating myself!

[@kevola5739]

You need a saw sheath with molle webbing on it. You can then attach that sheath to the pack and other pouches to the sheath. You can then slide the plastic sheath and saw out of the molle sheath for safe use without disturbing the pack setup.

[@RageeNRavee]

Seems like a great ultralight day hike bag.

[@Logan-de3xx]

I was going to suggest Nate maybe to sell a prepacked pack like this on your website? Many people have difficulty on what to fill it with and don’t realize it until they actually need it or use it. I think that would help people. Sure it would be more expensive but once people realize what they’re getting I think they’ll go for it!

[@nathanfournier6453]

Dude! You should offer an option on a pimped out back pack all done up.. If someone payed in advance and you could just ship out a fully completed pack with instructions and considerations.. That wouldbe awesome. I would be interestedin knowingwhat you would need for something like that.. I understand maybe it'd take you a month to get it all together

[@nathanfournier6453]

You could offer different range options and I'm left handed and you're clearly not but that would be good for you to consider left handed set up.. Contemplate on how left handers move and think.. They fight backwards lol.. South paws got tricks lol

Unique ruck set. Some mods to have. (1) john-knifechet on the thigh vs all other blades and that chopper blade. (2) john-firecan (stealth) Model C (cooking/eating gear 1-4 people, modular design) - toss all other crap gear. (3) john-firekit cigar holder, ferro rod, tinder, tinder material, small candles, screw-cap fuel container. (4) Get a felt-lined rifle quiver and put on opposite ruck side (and pull out over shoulder). (5) install john-pad (with snaps) in folded "6" design. Snap high side to ruck, provides greater insulation and padding between ruck and back. Drop down small flap for sitting pad. Unsnap and lay out as sleeping pad. (6) various lengths of 550 and bank line john-cord. (7) using a hammock, then mod for a flat-rectangle sleep hammock with head/foot extenders, john-cords as the hammock edge lines, ... and grommet holes on the sleeping bivvy. Slide bivvy onto john-cord lines. Attach and knot-lock john-cord to trees. Multi-seasonal sleep system, skeeter proof, remove ridgeline and skeeter netting. Same for not needing undercomforter. (8) john-hiking poles (extendable), snake poles, shelter construction poles, ... convert into fishing pole(s). (9) john-boonie EDC hat (neck tube, shemaugh/bandana neck sunshade, mosquito head hetting, small gloves, john-face sunshade, 2 plastic shower caps (over head, over boonie for dryness), and other small gear in the boonie head and rim pockets. (10) (as you said) ruck side pockets under outer mollie webbing (etc.) for storing flat/long articles. (11) tyvek painter's suit, zippered, with hoodie and elastic wrist/ankles (rain and wet proof, dry/warm in wind and rain) through brush and forest. camou spray paint for stealth. also works as anti-mosquito/-tick/-biting fly suit when sitting, sleeping, walking. (12) If having entire family doing walk-about, then bring small aluminum/stainless steel pressure cooker (40+ uses) for water, boiling, sterilizing, washing, cleaning, big pressure-steam cook ups, ...

Like the back pack, but ghillie suit it later also would be nice if they had an attached tie down waterproof rain cover keep your barrel dry and bedding dry too. Nice to see Marshall sticking close to you too.

[@PraxisPrepper]

You put a lot of work into this review. Well done. I'm not a fan of the upper chest/neck knife mount. I tried that for a while on mine, but ended up moving it back down to hip because I felt it was awkward to get the blade back in the sheath so close to my face.

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

Hey Canadian Prepper. Did you know everyday you're living the shtf lifestyle? You may not thjnk, but we think so. You're always out there by yourself. That's commendable.

[@Goldpenny1]

[@misx80]

Hey CP, why don't you put up some paracord on those handles? Makes them more comfy, might be useful and even makes the looks better ;)

[@garyminick1050]

I know what you mean, I like a lanyard on almost everything that has a lanyard hole . When I use the tool I don't have to grip it as hard and that extra energy saved can go to my core strength which saves overall energy. Things like sawing or most knife use and hatchett use to me calls for a lanyard made of paracord. People like CP are super strong and the lanyard seems to get in their way, but they too will get tired eventually and may never have noticed that they could have conserved some energy with the use of lanyards . Then the tiredness becomes a safety issue and it's easier to get an injury.

It's not very grey man at all, but it does seem like a great pack. This is something I'd use as a bug out bag, since its good to carry a lot of stuff as efficiently as possible

[@raptordc5]

Good review. I got the ibex-35 originally..but found that after adding some clothes I lost some space. Will say you cannot get the space unless you want to venture to the outside, no end of day stuff but hey be prepared.

[@semco72057]

That is a nice looking backpack and if I didn't already have a great backpack I would want that one. I don't carry that much with me so I keep my load down to less than 40 pounds. The ability to carry extra water in a bladder is very important if you are going to be away from a stream which have clear water.

[@williammccaslin8527]

How far do you think you can tote a 60 lb pack, just curious, I agree with your improvements to it, but it's still a great pack.

[@ShooterMedic1818]

Ya that's a ton of shit. Good luck

[@kingdavid7571]

In my thirties I could tote it all day- up to 20km. Not easy, mind you.

[@mrcleanfrk]

A 60 lb pack is not that bad unless you never wear it. And are a couch potato. You won’t make it anyways. Mine are 60-100 lbs. but guess what I hike/run with them all the time in training. You are only ready for what you train for.

[@dutchcourage7312]

This (or something really close to it, maybe mk2) will very likely become my BugOut Bag, 45L i like a lot, because it will 'hopefully' prevent me from stuffing to much weight in it, and it still has the full carry system, which means that any weight i do put in will be carried 'as comfortable as possible' ... I have occasionally been looking for something of this size and pretty much always it was meant as a daypack without any carry comfort (aka. if it had a waist strap it was just that, a strap; also shoulder straps worth nothing); So i do have a 65L+ (depends a bit how much i stretch and put on the sides) backpack, with the excellent carry system on it, but I noticed that it's just very easy over pack it to a point where i can't carry it for any reasonable distance... so yeah, 45L sounds great, especially with a lot of attachments on the outside. $300 US does mean i'm going to have to safe up for it... but just as a product i cheer this on, and i think they will find a lot of preppers going for this pack, mainly for the Excellent carry system on a reasonable size, that will limit their urge to over pack. Or, they will opt this pack for their wife or girlfriend, while they opt for the 65L or up backpack, though my experience is that that is just to big and gets to heavy to fast (but if you are in excellent shape and a practiced marcher then perhaps it's no problem, not for me though).

[@SilentGUASclan1]

That pack seems to be a great pack and looks like an awesome setup. If im not mistaken you will probably want a bigger pack for a family setup, with more dependants and all. If thats what youre after I would suggest looking into the hunting industry. companies like Kifaru international, Mystery Ranch, and Stone Glacier make incredible packs designed for backpack hunting, so not only very durable, but weight is in mind.

[@jherr888]

Vanquest makes great stuff I use trident 21 gen 2 and now gen 3 along with 5×7 fat pack as my med kit

You should look into Mystery Ranch or Eberlestock packs. The features you want are already built into them.

[@zeebraeend]

First of all great video. And I know this video isn't about much more than the backpack review, but I do have a question on one part of the shown equipment. As you let us see what you've put into the backpack I can see the radio. This is a good and cheap communications solution, but in the wild it has a somewhat limited range. Did I miss an extra antenna in this pack? Some form of wire antenna and some feet of coax shouldn't be a large weight but will be worth it's weight in gold in some situations. Kind regards, Xander.

My thought on the shot gun placement for shtf wouldn't be on my back with the unprotected barrel pointed up.

What does anyone think about color blue for pack? I have seen side by side at night time light. It does blend with the background better than black. Come to think of it, survivor lilly had a blue pack on the trip her and candadian prepper took.

[@hk-4714]

Statement: Black actually stands out more than you would think at night-time. A far superior choice if you are considering stealth would be a dark blue or navy blue or even olive drab. Olive drab, or a camouflaged version with OD green, would be superior to the typical "tactical black." Of course, you have to tailor yourself to the environment and what the pack is being used for. A black pack will not stand out as much in a city, where a camouflaged one will. The reverse is also true. There is no real "one size fits all" solution. You have to prioritize what you want as the primary factor and that will always come with costs toward other areas.

[@rickharrell7980]

Hey Canadian Prepper, that backpack looks great. It actually got me interested to look into that brand. But have you heard of Mystery Ranch backpacks? Personally I wanted to get one of the blackjack series, but cant poop out 1000 dollars for a backpack at the moment. Anyway I just wanted to know if you have heard of Mystery Ranch and your personal opinion on them?

[@pattion216]

I would also recommend a tactical leg holster for a side arm that you are comfortable with. There maybe a time u need to drop down and wont have the time or ability to reach for you shotgun. But overall I love your videos and your layout, I will take some of your items that u have under advisement and might switch some of my things out for stuff you have.

[@WillieMakeit]

Congratulations on the subscribes

[@M4rifleguy]

For those asking for cost for everything in the kit he had with back pack it's just around 900$ US. The pack alone is around 300$. I'm not to crazy with the gun being exposed like that though. Not sure if they make a sheath for it. If you are going to go for a large ruck like this I would recommend the Eberlestock Operator Pack. But to each his own.
