Camping Loadout | Jason Salyer

[@TheWtfnonamez]

You have done a superb job of drilling down to what you ACTUALLY need to carry. Excellent work. I used to be a religious "First Aid Kit Carrier" but reluctantly I will admit that you are spot on with your first aid philosophy. Any serious injury is going to involve stemming blood loss, splinting or heat removal in the case of a burn. All of this can be done with a tourniquet, shemagh, cordage, T-shirt, sticks and water. It took me a long time to realise that 99% of my First Aid kit carry was only useful for tinkering with completely non-urgent conditions that only made sense if I was the medic on a 3 month trip into the jungle with no medical support. Lets be honest. Most injuries are going to be an annoyance, and even IF they are becoming infected, it will be an issue after a few days, when you are back home with access to antibiotics, hospitals and doctors. You really only need kit that will stop you from imminent death. Not band aids, skin cream and finger splints. I did a training course with a paramedic and he suggested using a T-shirt or rag, to stem blood flow from an arterial bleed. I pointed out it wasnt sterile. He pointed out that nobody gives a shit because bleeding out takes minutes, and hospitals have antibiotics. Schooled.

[@anniereddj]

For the algorithm. Oh, and happy to see your channel has the best black coffee company as a sponsor! Thank you!!

[@ramblinfam4831]

Really liked the kit. Great vid. We should all be challenging ourselves to carry less in the wilderness. Keep up the great work.

[@WarGrrl3]

Honestly, I think this is one of the best outdoors channels on KZbin . I'm so sick of the gear snobs n gear company shills who try to make you feel less if you don't have the most overpriced gear that they, of course, get for FREE. You take the stress out of camping. This is a very impt channel. Oh BTW, great way to use the duct tape for marginal tinder. Wrapping it around is so simple yet it never occurred to me or any you Tube host I've seen when they demonstrate duct tape as a fire starter/extender. Wicked cool Friend. Thanks again.

[@ONThree]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@redfaux74]

You mean like Survival Dispatch when Jason is not on it?!? Agreed!

[@tangle70]

Darn Tough socks are the best. Yep and they are life time warrantied.

[@DJ-ol8zm]

Here you go,...algorithm support!

[@hopeheavenonplanetearth1417]

Smart how you told people to leave a comment! People don’t understand how KZbin works… Your vlog was very clear and informative. Thanks!

[@johnedgecomb7856]

I'm very impressed with the absolute minimalist design of your kit. Good job.

[@kurticeberg4566]

Wow you’re awesome. Love how simple you keep it. When I go camping with my family we have a van full of crap lol.

[@richwallace4632]

Good job. Nice to go camping and keeping it simple.

[@ethanbeck8596]

Love the set up always nice to see what others carry in the woods as an Emt I feel like I should say, carry a first aid kit with a good tourniquet but I often don’t so I can emphasize with the choice

[@danclark7146]

Simple, yet very affective.

[@MamaBearPrepper]

Very good bag items. Light and simple. I never thought of having a cut of cotton fabric in my bag. I'll have to add that.

[@reginaschmid2657]

Love the simplicity of the summer pack, not as much items needed as in winter time! Sometimes one just needs the bare bones! Great video!

[@thomasmusso1147]

Interesting .. a no- nonsense setup. Thanks for sharing.

[@robertkline6479]

This kit is perfect! I always carry to much for spring and summer! I’m going to try the hill people gear backpack for sure! Thank you Jason!

[@sunnybeach4837]

Hill people gear has the best packs in modern Civilization

[@John-ee4ki]

I have my happy camping kit. Did enjoy the show and tell. The "square" of cotton cloth I thought was a good idea.

[@bonniebethel1234]

I'm too accident prone.I would still have a small ifac with me. Mines attached to the outside. I also would still carry a sawyer mini with me. I don't trust any water anymore. Other than that 👍

[@nickorourke8479]

I see to many influencers today that push the mentality of bringing everything including the kitchen sink, lol. I thought this was perfect, I was watching this thinking I would have carried just about the same gear. The cotton sheet was one item that I was thinking I would have swapped out for a poncho liner (woobie), but then I found myself agreeing with your uses. Please keep up the great work you're doing on this channel, it's informative and very entertaining!

[@jasonpowell3587]

Absolutely love that you make a gear video with no shoes on. You and Alan make a great team for this channel.

[@ONThree]

Thanks!

[@tylernewman6374]

Nice simplistic kit. Love it. Thanks for the video!

[@WORRO]

Now that's a video right there! Thumbs-up ~John

[@minhhop3208]

thanks for sharing ! Beautiful view! Need more demo , though ! Very well planned packing !

[@henryvandeventer2457]

Nice bit of kit.

[@thomasoverton7131]

Great minimal kit. Thanks for sharing

[@stevennelsonmn]

Good Stuff! Always fun to see what people bring for short-term trips. you really don't need much...

[@bknollman]

An excellent video! You're always challenging me to carry less!

[@greyscout01]

Watched it again and made a list. Always helps to get others ideas. Thanks.

[@nickmartino2839]

I like to now carry and bring my rechargeable head lamp it seems to be so useful around camp where the fire doesn't light...

[@machellesnow4214]

Thanks for sharing.

[@markmatthews7184]

Thanks for sharing, Mark

[@michaeljones5395]

Nice and lite... Just enough to do the job.

[@Greypryde]

Great job as always! Thanks!

[@Eric-kr7wy]

Practical start!

[@glennhernandez4366]

keep it going

[@CAVCOP]

Nice simple setup for adventuring.

[@johnashby2196]

Great video Jason.... Very informative

[@paulschwartz2464]

Everyone has their own preferences but your kit works for you in the situation you were in. I just like getting different perspectives, learn something new everyday from you guys.

[@fukemnukem1525]

Good deal.... minimalist..... I like it.

[@redfaux74]

I like the info but that would indeed be the Apocalypse to me. When you're old, you need a little comfort and cushion to make it thru. 👴

[@fukemnukem1525]

@@redfaux74 lol. I'm on the downside of it myself.....more behind me than ahead of me..... But I really like to make due with as little as I can. Although like you....I want to sleep in comfort. Pads are light and cheap..... I usually carry a thermarest, tyvek, and a piece of reflectix insulation for my bed....and a blow up pillow and fleece blanket. Even with all that my bedroll is only a few pounds....just a little bulky. I wrap it in a compactor bag and strap it to my pack.... I also like to carry a little more food than this fella too.....and a pew pew of some sort. Usually a "double deuce Ruger LG" (YT might get upset if I write the words).

[@redfaux74]

@@fukemnukem1525 - I may copy your list for myself. I have a hard time investing that kind of money unless I'm sure of the performance. And it never happens. Bedding is the least on my list. Arthur in my shoulders and hips but I'm not giving up. My martial arts in my youth is plaguing me today. I want a similar printer and the 44 is the last on my list. Bears are coming to SD, with wolves and we already have mountain lions. I want stopping power with an echo to scare the brothers away.

[@eseymour355]

And I thought I traveled light when exploring haha

[@redfaux74]

Jason is a little extreme for me but I still learn something every video.

[@Benwandeer]

Soap. a motel 6 bar of soap in a plastic bsg Not so mch for stink, but would cleaning. Toilet paper, especially if you are not carrying bandages makes a good improvised bandage.. Won't say more until I review the EDC vid. It would be helpful if there was a link to it in the description.

[@Blarny4u]

Great job!

[@ferebeefamily]

Looks like you have the basics covered and you are happy. Nothing here for me to contribute. Thank you for the video.

[@glennfyfe1357]

Thanks, good to know.

[@natemoore1404]

Good video, nice kit

[@quilnux]

Thumbs up for the dog, engaged!

[@Mike-rx3mn]

Gotta love "darn tough socks", good video, very helpful I always overpack even on a day hike, looking forward to the new KINGSMAN movie that has been pushed back till Dec. now.

[@harrywhitt3617]

Great video. Simple and to the point.

[@jessiepayne737]

Great video made me realize I over pack so I am going to evaluate my needs and gear.

[@jessew7978]

Always love the content Jason!

[@davewallace.8303]

Nice kit! Monty Python Quest fir the Holy Grail- Fav Movie!

[@CliKnight]

Great kit

[@sethjohnson5681]

Best channel on KZbin!

[@redfaux74]

That's true.

[@jamesMdavey]

thanks J very instructive video

[@jldc1759]

Such a great source of information!

[@Wrick01]

Waterproof case/container. Something to keep matches/electronics safe.

[@SwampRatNation]

Nice simple pack out, looks good

[@kalloskreations1]

The simplicity is good

[@chiphungerford]

I go with a silky saw instead of the machete but can see advantages / disadvantages in either. Nice video keep the good content coming.

[@gunmetlx7917]

Thanks

[@herbsmith6871]

Good stuff Jason 🤠

[@glenmeyers1360]

great job only thing id add would be a good book,and some TP.....great video sir....great video

[@T1an1s]

Thumbs upped for Maggie!

[@jerzybrudnicki6815]

Nice work.

[@JasonSmith-dm5iu]

love the channel keep up the good work

[@anthonysharp9136]

I like to pack my daybag like an INCH bag: basically everything on the Alone packing list that will fit in a 35 liter backpack.

[@mikemarriam]

I'd add a large enough piece of black plastic to make a canopy to stand up under. 8 x 10 3mm works well and doesn't add much to the pack. I usually pitch mine in front of my shelter entrance. It keeps the entry area dry and it can make a day long rain shower much more bearable to be able to stand up and stretch if you are stuck in a tent. It also makes changing cloths a lot easier when it's raining and gives you a chance to get out of a sticky raincoat or poncho.

[@redfaux74]

Heavy duty 55 gal trash bag. Light weight. I have a few in every bag.

[@michaelperez1666]

Solid info. Thank you

[@tinkypete491]

Nice kit loadout

Nice job your Lucky I can not go so light Iam aheavy gear man thanks for the video,

[@jasonterry8883]

Dude….you’re awesome!!!!

[@jeffechols5302]

See ya on the next one

[@mrbeyondthebeard]

No pictures of you with your socks and sandals? I noticed the comfort level was raised to barefooted. Great video. My kit is not quite that small yet.

[@ONThree]

Ha! Just keeping it real.

[@KT-sv1xf]

thank you for showing how minimal we can pack and go

[@raymccumstie1439]

As I used to regularly hunt Feral Pigs on foot alone I always had a good 1st Aid Kit, Lots of water, Signal flare, hunting knife/dagger and my Survival kit with my firearms. It only takes a split second where I live in Northern Australia for a snake, pig or something else to make your day go very badly.

[@joeykerr5517]

I love how little you carry. I'm working on doing that but I'm not quite that small yet lol.

[@thedoobie1]

As far as the shelter, I know the utility of using the para-cord and understand the minimalism. Have you considered the convenience of bungee cord? In the Infantry, we generally carried 5 bungees that allowed us the flexibility and speed to set up a shelter just about anywhere. (Four corners and then one for the hood peak) In a pinch, you could make stakes if you needed. Some of us carried lightweight stakes to increase our shelter building potential. Those bungees had all kinds of alternate uses as well.

[@sunnybeach4837]

Great pack but to minimal for me. I want to eat 3 meals a day. Filter to filter my water. And a tent or hammock with a bug bet and taro. Hats off to you for being so minimal. I have the tarahumara pack. And I can barely make it into a night pack. Little line a 3 day pack. You should look into attaching a tuff possum pouch as a pocket in the back or an Aston pocket . I bought me a tuff possum pouch. Also if you get the chest pack you could hold more gear. Also I love Mora's. But I wouldn't out myself in that situation with anything under at least a companion. But it just shows that you are most likely better at over night hiking than me. I bought the Aston house with a pocket for anything over three nights. Great video I learned quit a bit.

[@vinnyjones2621]

Great content, love your channel !! One thing to say.... Everyone has different needs, requirements needed. After nearly 40 years in the outdoors, in certain conditions you don't need much, and at times a lot( weather, location, group size ,etc ) I personally have 3 different packs always at the ready. I buy my equipment on sale, closeout stores, pawnshops etc. Maybe even a yard sale lol. When m going somewhere I've Never been, I tend to load heavier...just an overnight out in the woods the setup you just showed is great !!! But the greenhorns just starting out, should if they can start in the backyard. Learning how to build camp,what you need. Trying out your gear is good , because a lot of times it's easy to over do it, or you forget things...notes can be taken, so when you get out there BOOM.. camp is done ,fire started ,water located etc.it makes camping so much more fun,when you already got ur sh t together lol. Thanx for the great info, keep up the good work. have a great day !!!

[@philipschmidt6367]

Great Video! You always make me think. You are real, not a poser. Keep up the videos.

Great content man!love these videos keep em coming!

[@ONThree]

Thanks!

[@kebrun4484]

If no one has said it I will. The only thing you need in the woods is … knowledge. The tools are just what you need to use that knowledge. Of course a flask of wild turkey 101 is a big help with all kinds of things. Happy trails.

Yeah I'm def going to have to subscribe

Pretty cool!

[@frankpavelec2609]

Excellent kit overview, I probably carry a little too much, but I take a little bit more of a first aid kit and a sleeping bag. Nice video.

[@johnrollins4879]

Enjoyed the video!

[@freespeech4all723]

I like your style. Keep it simple 😆 Good training!

[@66bigbuds]

My favorite socks.

[@bj1027]

Really Appreciated,your sharing gives me so many inspiration！

[@lorkainenkingg8497]

You hit on the importance of setting up your gear for your environment. I adventure in the desert and could not get away with the minimal water kit you had in this video. I like the rest of your selections, though!

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

It's great that you went so light and lean! I can't do light a weight that here in the desert, I have to bring so much water with me. What a treat to have so much water, and water you can drink right out of the ground. So are you just filming with your phone? Any tripod? What about Maggie's food? I'm looking forward to seeing what's in your tiny fishing kit and how you use it.
