48 Hour Pack | ON3 Jason Salyer

[@SurvivalDispatch]

In addition to the items that I keep in my pocket and on my person this is what I carry into the woods. What’s missing?

[@MikeSimmons923]

We can get by quite well with very little. Being away from civilization for 2 days can seem daunting, but it really goes by so fast.

[@sajahb7444]

Super cool place and video

[@PnwBushcraftShop]

Another great video! I love seeing how you cover just the basics to be comfortable but not to comfortable. I'm glad I'm not the only one who has instant coffee stashed

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

Gotta have the coffee ☕️ 😋 I keep a few instant cups and a little salt and pepper just in case some needed flavor for unexpected food!!✌️💚✊️🔥

[@PnwBushcraftShop]

@canadiancraftsman333 the salt and pepper is a great idea.

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

@PnwBushcraftShop even if unexpected we still can be civilized 🤣👌

[@ToddFillingim]

I like the cotton cloth idea. I keep old bedsheets as drop cloths. I might pull one out to put in my pack

[@charlesdleer]

Baby swaddles work great as well!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I would never head out into the woods with only a pocket knife and my wits. Seems like you cover all the bases in that simple kit. The more you know the less you need. I'm recording some haversack videos and minimal kit stuff right now. It's really cool to see what works and what doesn't. Cool video! 👍

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Awesome. Thanks for watching

The bivvy looks like a nice addition to any pack.

[@arctodussimus6198]

You have plenty of gear. Myself, I never carried a tent until I got married. And then only when she comes with. My boys and I used to have “survival kit campouts” or “survival knife campouts”. Taking only what’s in our pockets and a knife, or a small kit. The two night trips really make you aware of what gear is important and what isn’t. Especially for edc. I usually have to take some kind of dog food with me though…

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Good kit Jason!

[@brynnleapierce5600]

Jason, as always I learn so much “useful info & ideas” from your videos👌 I think what I truly appreciate is you keep things simple (nothing fancy) yet will see you through the situation at hand😊 Your great personality keeps things enjoyable & interesting 👌❤️

[@SurvivalDispatch]

I really appreciate that!

Looking forward to seeing your video. My son is trying to get me to be more minimal. I just can't seem to get there. That's why Mr. B built me a camper van (him too to travel to see family).

[@OzMan9989]

Dude, we just evac’d from Maui. Totally cut off from electric, cell coverage, fuel, and dwindling food for 4 days from the fire. After 4 days, we heard that we were also going to lose our water supply. We just swam in the ocean to pass the time (nothing else to do) and lasted as long as we could until we could pick a good time to get out. Thanks God we brought flashlights and a little radio. Don’t ever travel without these. I should have also brought my Grayll too but I didn’t need it (came close though).

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Wow! Prayers headed your way.

[@ek-nz]

I have that same bivy bag and have slept in it a couple of times, both with and without extra layers. It’s good! Also have the Stanley pot; it’s my most used cooking item. Must look in to getting a Grayl filter at some point. I would probably go with linen over cotton for my own wee blankie/towel, but linen can be a bit hard to find at times.

[@ajherring92]

Looks about right to me. I carry an SRO haversack in my kit for the same reason as your drawstring bag. I also have a Swagman roll because I've spent too much of my life cold, wet and miserable to not carry it. Most of my kit is pretty similar to yours otherwise. Fits comfortably with some room to spare in a Fjallraven 28L pack. Figure if I needed to actually use it as a get home bag, I'd stop at the nearest gas station and fill it with munchies, cause I avoid being hungry if at all possible.

[@DanielBelliveau-y5x]

Freeze-dried meals are quick and easy however they lack the fat needed to absorb all the protein and nutrients of the meals, because in storage the fat would go rancid. The fat also makes you feel full for longer and is crucial in colder climes in the Winter months. I realize your only on a short journey in the warm South; but for longer trips when relying on freeze-dried meals I would suggest to take along a small plastic tub of coconut oil or ghee [clarified butter], or even some extra-virgin olive oil to satisfy your nutritional needs more fully. Thank you for your tips and tricks that you share with us, I particularly like the beeswax and linseed oil one you shared for waterproofing a pack.

[@woodstrekker6345]

My minimal set up is similar but I love having my harritage rough rider with me with the 22lr cylinder as a companion to my ccw.

[@jamesmiddleton6464]

Very well thought out. I would include some first aid supplies for disinfecting and covering a wound. Yes you have the materials to improvise in your kit but honestly its not ideal to be foraging for yarrow (or other plants)and looking for a clean corner of your cotton cloth while you are leaking all over the place. A couple if bandages, a sealed military cravat and a small tube of neosporin are light weight and packable insurance that are often worth carrying. Sometimes its the difference between finishing the outing and having to cut it short to seek medical attention. Certainly avoiding an infected wound is worth it.

[@SurvivalDispatch]

I keep a tourniquet in my pocket. Thanks for the input

[@jamesmiddleton6464]

@@SurvivalDispatch honestly hope you never need it. Thanks fir the videos.

Maybe add a Shamogh.. One of the best things I've ever used in over 40 years

[@unfi6798]

Being very cautious, we feel you have everything required to survive. A good minimalist carry although a light first aid would be good. Definitely a multitool would make situation a bit better. Other than all that you're good to go mate. Reckon JJ will have a similar kit with a couple of extras.! Heads up mate, you both will be on our big screen. Mum & Dad will be watching too but from Christmas Island. Cheers Mr. Salyer.

[@ferebeefamily]

Thank you for the video.

[@mihamaker]

I see it all the time, food gets over prioritized. I just cary some sort of cured meat and posibly an eggs. And not neary as hungry as before whey I ate lots of carbs. Still cary some excess stored food on my person :-) but lost 70lbs to day. My filosophy is if one is around the food (stying inside, or in town near grocery's shops) it is convenient to grab some when ever, unneceserrly. But If one is ocupied or out off it, like woods or feld or craft or anything in between, mind goes from the need of it.

A small roll of 20 gauge brass wire weighs very little and gives the chance for time extension. A good slingshot does the same but is dependent on ammunition. They compliment each other very well. Also, two pair of socks at all times!

Great video brother. A pocket knife and wit's is rough. And it's never enjoyable. If I can do it once I'm good. I don't need to do it everytime. I lean more toward having gear to be comfortable.

[@outdoor-suedost]

Hi Jason! Great loadout, I am always very astonished how small your gear list for about 48 hours is. In comparison to your gear I carry a ton of extras garbage with me, which I finally do not need. I think a neckknife and a kind of fire steel (besides the one you always carry around your neck) would probably made your day if problems occure. Thank you for sharing and all the best from Austria 🤠👍🏕🔥

For a quick, on the go set-up, not bad at all. Definitely would only consider it for something within ones territory though (less than 10-15 miles from your AO). I'd definitely compliment it with a MinuteMan Bag from @SewJournGear.

I do realize that your Leatherman Wave is your constant companion in your hip pocket or on your belt, but a good Swiss Army knife nestled down in the pack, is a good just in case item, should you lose the Leatherman for any reason. I never leave home without one.

Nice pack, but you need a “survival” knife, aka, a fixed blade full tang with a six inch cutting edge and (for me) one quarter inches thick of steel on the blade - needs to be virtually indestructible. Ya never know!

Don't make it a change of address. Still got things to say and do.

[@nobodyatall7039]

A machete is the most useless thing you could carry. A chopping tool is not necessary in a modern kit at all, a folding saw and a fixed blade knife are completely sufficient. But as far as chopping tools go a hatchet or tomahawk is vastly more useful. A hatchet can be much lighter because it barely needs any sheath to speak of. The Cold Steel Trail Hawk and Gransfors Outdoor Axe for example weigh 20 ounces WITH their sheaths and can still easily fell a 12" thick tree or lay down a winter night's firewood in no time. A hatchet is a much more effective chopping tool, and can also handle light brush just fine when used with two hands for speed and control. A hatchet is much shorter and easily fits any backpack. A hatchet is effectively indestructible because only the handle can break, and a new one can be made in the field. Hatchets are stupidly easy to sharpen. A hatchet can hammer very effectively, more than a rock or anything you'll find laying around, and be used in conjunction with a prybar for breaching/escape techniques and other urban survival applications and improvisation. A hatchet can be used for hooking and as a climbing aid. A machete is just wobbly piece of sheet steel that is good for nothing but harvesting cash crops. People in South America and Africa like machetes because they're widely available and cheap there due to the populations being mostly employed in agriculture. A hatchet is superior in every way from a survival perspective. Neither one belongs in a minimalist loadout. 7" saw and 7" combat/survival knife are the only cutting tools I'm carrying. Machetes are only for fun, cutting new growth in the backyard and pretending you're in Lord of the Rings, nothing more.

[@StoutRidge470]

[@SurvivalDispatch]

Tourniquet is in my right cargo pocket. Huge big cotton cloth works great for bandages. Those two things will take care of 99% of the problems I might encounter and have the capability of dealing with.
