Hi Blackie, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thankyou for your time to make these videos. Hope you have a great camp out.

[@blackoracle69]

Thanks for watching!

[@baronedipiemonte3990]

Blackie, thanks for showing the Ranger roll... not every branch practices that, so that was new for me. I'll be practicing !

[@blackoracle69]

glad to do it

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

When you talked and demonstrated the Ranger roll for your clothing, it brought back many fond memories Blackie!

[@blackoracle69]

glad it did

[@drcsep]

Great backpacking system…all of you enjoy and I’ll be awaiting for those videos… blessings

[@blackoracle69]

thanks

[@willkillingsworth9736]

Thanks a lot for the info Mr. Thomas. My son and I are looking forward to this gathering. We plan to be there Friday at around noon. Thank you very much.

[@blackoracle69]

Fantastic!

[@smoothvern165]

That nighthawk/ blackbird combo looks to be awesome quality!! Also, that way of rolling up clothes is super cool and I’ve never seen it done before. Excellent video, and that’s a nice looking jacket, as well. Have fun at your gathering, and I wish I was going!

[@blackoracle69]

thanks

[@ROMAN138]

Oh man I just love the simplicity of your setup. Very insightful and extremely helpful

[@blackoracle69]

Glad you like it!

[@jenniferbauman4802]

Great video. That pack and haver sack . Is a great idea. It's a nice set up. I think it needs pocket on the out side .of the bag. Either way it's nice. I hope they sell and make you happy. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts. Can you put a hip belt on it.

[@timlacy2284]

Blackie, Thanks for sharing this information and Tip and Trick on packing the Night Hawk and Black Bird . Y'all enjoy on your outing, I can't make it I've got some Dr. appointments with my VA in Nashville, TN. You Are The Master Woodsman and Bushcrafter Tim L.

[@blackoracle69]

good luck with that

[@davegoodridge8352]

Your gatherings sounds really fun. I’m hoping I can show up next year.

[@blackoracle69]

i hope you do

[@washburnbilly]

Great video brother 👍 I always learn something when I come here! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@blackoracle69]

my pleasure

[@ravenoutdoors8623]

Im going all in when the next blackbird/nighthawk combo run starts. I am really looking forward to get this set. I am trying to talk my wife into a road trip for next years gathering. Ive been wanting to get down there for some time now. Im up here in Idaho. It would be such a fun trip. Great video Blackie. Thank you

[@blackoracle69]

Sounds great!

[@codaktakman7636]

Neat

[@itllkeal]

Hello. I'm typing just help you Blackie. I hope everyone has a awesome time. I just got my actual colt 36 cal and can't wait to find time to clean it up so I can see how well it gets dirty.

[@blackoracle69]

Right on

[@geico1975]

Cool Ranger Roll Blackie, I'm gonna remember that one, I liked the waterproof one too, but the one you rolled by hand was way smaller looking at it on screen, both of them looked excellent. Hope all you guys have a safe and fun time. God Bless

[@blackoracle69]

thanks for watching

[@timothybyrnes2234]

Well designed. Versatile, durable, nice job on it so far 💪

[@blackoracle69]

Thanks! 👍

[@buzzbugs380]

Thanks for this video Blackie, looking forward to the combo I ordered. I'm looking at getting a pair of Platatac Echo Straps to go with this, they are based on the old Alice straps design but are updated and modern.

[@blackoracle69]

Good choice!

[@claymoresteel]

Oh the versatility of the humble d ring

[@blackoracle69]

i agree

[@MichaelR58]

Good video Blackie, thanks for sharing , God bless !

[@blackoracle69]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kennethwilson8633]

Have fun stay safe.

[@blackoracle69]

thanks

[@lablover1972]

😂 don't forget your skivies... at least change every few days, I know going komando works also. Love your content! That's a nicer pack than what I have. Might need to get me one.

[@blackoracle69]

thanks for watching

[@elvinamillaneam]

Greetings Blackie I wish you the best on gathering... I wish I was going but I would be making arrangements next year...

[@blackoracle69]

Next time!

[@jeremymoses7401]

Interesting🤔.... used a "Ranger roll" as a sleep system; and a " Grunt roll" for clothing was just skivvies, socks, and a shirt..... never done it with trousers though. Might have to give that a go

[@blackoracle69]

go for it

[@jeremymoses7401]

@@blackoracle69 😅 i actually gave it a run about an hour ago, before i saw this, its in my lap right now. Took my hunting duds (trousers, short sleeve shirt, long sleeve button down, socks, and drawers) still space to add gloves and neck gators and have it be a perfect convienent size to sit in the bottom of my pack.😁 dang good tip, i like this one

[@garyprice8330]

I love ur combo setup got to get me one

[@rayscar2]

Are there any Blackbird haversacks left? If so could I purchase a second one for this run. Could you add me to the list for the Nighthawk knapsack. I really enjoy the videos. Keep them coming

[@worm_vaquero]

I think you mentioned during your last "live" that the nighthawks are sold out? I won't miss the next run. Very handsome kit

[@ntrprter]

Great info right there! Would love to have the Nighthawk & Blackbird combo! I understand they're sold out now, but when they do become available again- where might I find them to place an order? Love the level of practicality of the info provided on this channel!!! Thank you Mr. Thomas!

[@blackoracle69]

if you will email me at [e-mail] i will add you to the list for next run

[@fredfreiberger7878]

Y'all are getting our Oklahoma weather lol when I am out I carry winter gear and rain gear

[@blackoracle69]

yep it will be cold in morning but the plan is a warm up

[@micheldumont4619]

Great combo. Question: do the backstraps come with the bag? Does the bag come with any backstraps?

[@jlbksinger]

Blackie, you stated that you got the stuff sack from Sportsman guide. What is the product number?

[@MrRourk]

Blackie you need a webstore

[@blueboy231]

Hi blackie. Whats the name of these vacume bags. i cant find them. thanx.

[@myersparanormal]

I'm a fellow Alabamian content creature friend of mine told me about you

[@blackoracle69]

[@jasonruth598]

[@blackoracle69]

[@blackoracle69]

you would be welcome anytime

[@danbradley4838]

Where are your skivvies in the Ranger Roll?:-)

[@blackoracle69]

lol

[@alf3553]

The pack & haversack combo looks pretty sweet. Man I wish I could go to your event, but just a little to far (1300miles). We had -18 c (0 F) last night, long range weather looks like that’s the end of the cold temps but that can change with tomorrow’s forecast.🔥🇨🇦

[@blackoracle69]

hopefully one day you will make it

[@offthecouch1999]

Will you be at the lake Saturday even with the rain? Don't want to make a 3hr trip for no reason

[@blackoracle69]

if you mean my gathering yes i will be there from wed lunch til sunday lunch we will go to the surplus place around 11 til 1 but be back at camp after that

[@offthecouch1999]

@@blackoracle69 awesome see you there

[@ravenoutdoors8623]

When do you think the next combo run will be?

[@blackoracle69]

june is the plan

[@ravenoutdoors8623]

Sweet. I will place my order then

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Dood!

[@blackoracle69]

DUDE!!!!

[@mikebolton3816]

I was Marine Infantry. We also, always kept 2 pairs of socks, easily accessible. I personally kept a pair in my left pants cargo, and a pair on the inside of my LBE, to keep warm, if it was cold out. Regular sock changes on a long hump are essential to foot health. I also made sure to have a small travel size container of foot powder. Great video! I look forward to getting my Combo. Question: have you tried using an Alice frame?

[@blackoracle69]

you are correct when you feet are tired and burn stop change socks it makes a huge improvement i have and you can do it with a alice frame
