3 YEAR UPDATE.... It's cool to see that this video is still getting so much attention...Thank you! I am, indeed, still carrying a lot of this same gear (over 3 years later) - That is proof that quality gear is worth the investment. HOWEVER, my loadout has changed a bit since this video. I've minimized a lot of things based on my experience level, training in the outdoors, and simple because I don't want to carry as much stuff (lol). If you'd like to see an updated Haversack Kit video, let me know by dropping me a comment below!

Great rundown on the Haversack and load out. Way to go as a minimalist. You're definitely ready to get by and then some. Some unhappy douche gave you a thumbs down and it's cracking me up cause I believe you gave a great presentation. 👍🏼😂
@AnthonyAwaken3 жыл бұрын
Thanks, bro! The minimalism of a haversack is so important and it's what made me fall in love with this type of bag years ago. You can easily set up an entire camp out of one. You're not burdened by a heavy bag while you're walking. And it doesn't take hours of time to pack it up at the end of the day or the next morning. Perfect for quick trips! PS: And there's always gonna be that one in every group that doesn't like something, lol.

Thanks so much, man! I'm a huge fan of the versatility of military-style ponchos if I'm going out solo...it's all the space I need to shelter from a rain storm. And I can wear it while I'm walking. The "supertarp small" I showed here is super roomy though and it'd be my pick for an overnighter or trip with another person. And like you see, it's incredibly compact when folded. Hit me up if you need help deciding at any point 🙂👍🏻

Great video and excellent review. I also use Helikon Tex material. Great quality. I’ve got the Hillpeople haversack. The Helikon is better made. Only suggestion I can make is carry as much on your belt. And stick that paracord inside. I also have a dedicated ridge line. But I keep it attached to my tarp. Really great set up.

I typically carry my bottle in my hand for a setup like this. Or I remove some items from the main compartment of my bag and slip the bottle in there. Another option that I do from time to time is tie my Shemagh around my waist and store my bottle + other little stuff in there if I need to be hands-free.

@AnthonyAwaken3 жыл бұрын
Hey sorry, Michael...I must've got to talking too fast there, lol. Gorilla Tape is an excellent fire extender. A bit more info: • You can shred gorilla tape up into slim slivers. Then put the slivers into a loose "ball" shape and hit it with a ferro rod or lighter. • Depending on the size of your "gorilla tape ball" (G.T.B. - I just made that up) it will burn for a long while. • It works well in wet weather as well since the sticky part of the tape is the most flammable & the exterior sheds water like a ducks back. • I typically make a loose softball-sized G.T.B. and it burns for right around 10 minutes. Hope that helps!

Hey, Alex - This is Adaptive Green... This color has really grown on me since getting into Helikon's gear. In some light, it makes you wonder if it's a coyote type of color. But it's a nice happy medium between coyote and more traditional green colors. It blends very well here in the Appalachian Mountains (sometimes a little too well, especially if I sit the bag down while I'm scouting a new area, lol).

Most folks I know have been saving up, then ordering multiple items from their international site to make the shipping cost a bit more bearable. I would recommend checking out this haversack as well (which is currently available on the USA Amazon): amzn.to/3yvUx8e That bag honestly looks awesome...I just haven't made my way into testing one of them yet.
