Good evening Sir! Your vest is so well organised and so it will make a good job for you. Very well done my friend! The last two days we had a severe sudden fall of temperature so we got the first snow up the mountains and strong winds causing heavy losses, but also huge rainfalls, especially in Lower Austria and Upper Austria many people are threatened by the rain and situation gets much worse til tuesday. Thank god we did not get that much in Carinthia but more than enough. Stay safe and all the best from Austria my friend!🇦🇹👍🤠🏕🔥

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

Ive been talking to ppl around Europe and its sure is some crazy weather. Here too.. I'm glad you and your clan are OK. Thank you for the nice words. You always have something nice to say! I really like that. The world needs more of this from person to person.. Try to enjoy the rest of your weekend!

[@outdoor-suedost]

@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska I will try my best, but I am on nightshift today and tomorrow, so we will see...🫡👍

[@vikingmitch4049]

Thinking about pocket placement is key..I'd similar to my old sass copp vest.. It's been an interesting 🤔 project from the start to It's completions..

[@StevenRoberts-m8v]

Outstanding work Ivarr! I really like the attention to detail you have, and it shows in your kit! Having each item you pack prove it's worth is solid to me! Glad you shared this with us! Thanks!✌️👍🤝🪡🧵🥾🎯💯😉🫡

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

Thank you my friend. Kind words, for sure. I also have some ACR needlepoint camo as well. Very durable clothing! You enjoy your weekend, Sir and thank you again!

[@neil_castell]

vest is awesome ... i have been playing around with fishing vests as a means to carry stuff, they all seem to suffer from small useless pockets but are comfy for long term use,

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

Fishing vest is an excellent alternative. I found a fishing vest in DPM recently. I might make into a survival vest for my vehicle.. and thnx for stopping in.

[@46camper50]

That is a good set up . Like the music intro to the video

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

I remember long long ago when I first heard that song on the movie Triple X with Vin Diesel. Its catchy! and thnx man.. Hope you're well and your weekend is profitable! ..

[@germanredneck9019]

I've been waiting for this video and you REALLY delivered!!! So much Details, so much Features... One can really See that you Made this with a Lot of experience, you figured Out what works and what Not. This DDR beast turned out so good! Respect Mate, you created am awesome piece there 💪🏼 A true survival vest! Thank you very much for the Video, i really enjoyed watching it. It was great to See all the Details, for sure i need to watch it again! 😊

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

Just need to get it through winter and see how its acts with layers of clothing..

[@swampdweller1566]

"The point isnt what its made of, its what it is" man if more people would understand that, good shit friend

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

Dude I thought I blew that line. Thanks for the confirmation that it made sense! LOL Like seriously, I was wondering if anyone would get it, or even watch that far into the video! Thanks man!

[@swampdweller1566]

@Evasion.Survival.Alaska I heard that and it was like a light bulb went off lol. That's sums up so much shit

[@prometheus_beard]

Looks good mate. Be interesting to see how it is in use. I'm seeing a poncho in your future. Or a jerven bag. Love my JB's.

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

Thanks 👍

[@SurvivalScout2024]

The belt sleeve and opening for a knife is sweet! I like those little pouches inside the pockets! Lots of great features on your survival vest!

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

Thanks dude.. and as always thnx for your time and comments!

[@apollo9356]

That’s some fine work ivarr.

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

Thanks my friend. I hope you have a great weekend!

[@GLEN-ys7qt]

Good one Ivarr ! I mostly watch your videos to not add "stuff" but to actually get rid of superfluous crap and to maintain total simplicity in kit content and carrying methods.

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

Huzaaha my friend! Good on you! Personally, Im rejecting "survival" and "Tactical" modernity at every turn! As much as I can..

[@GLEN-ys7qt]

@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska Yes! Same here at every turn! For me "Practical" is "Tactical" !

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

One of my other sayings is "Whats old will be new again"

[@larpingtonboogecke]

I like my Rhodesian vest. And yours looks extremely useful as well.

Thanks for watching!

[@backacresalaska2272]

Excellent!

Thanks man!

[@Doodlefisher]

A respirator is a good item to pack not for social distancing but for contaminants in the air when shtf

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

I can get with that in many places but not here. If the air is contaminate then the wilderness is too, and Im fuked.

[@Doodlefisher]

@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska true! You jave to take your mask off at some point

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

Thanks! 👍

[@journeyman7189]

Good breakdown Ivarr. Your mods are always next level. How do you find the chest rig layered over the vest with those packed pockets? Also, what strength of binos are you running? Nate

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

I was proving them as admin pockets when they grew to Dolly Parton size. With just a few items in them it totally manageable and of no consequence.. great question though! Thanks! My new ones are 10x28 from Vortex. Perfect size. Those Steiners are a bit too small and will freeze solid in the winter. So they've been replaced, I just havnt switched up yet..

[@journeyman7189]

@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska Dolly parton sized nice lol. I have a pair of vortex 8x42 but was looking for something more compact for scouting and such. Can't beat vortex warranty

[@GillianSmith]

Looks good and well thought out too. I've had a go at making one of these recently....used a vintage French F2 light jacket....just deciding whether or not to add extra pockets etc.

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

I miss your videos, Lass.. always so inspiring! Yeah vest can be the teets. I just need to use this over the winter and see how it does with layering up... So did you ever use the vest or you just made it and are now pondering?

[@GillianSmith]

@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska I wore it up in the Rhinogydd mountains; used with Osprey ruck; worked well especially with zipper chest pockets as didn’t snag etc. dyed it black but it came out dark olive… thought I’d contrast with green or brown jacket/ trousers as want the camo effect for long distance as I’d be wearing it in the mountains. I like it. As you mentioned webbing can be too bulky and hot especially when packing in the miles, can wear these vests on their own also to prevent overheating.

[@GillianSmith]

Thank you…. I will make some videos in the future….seems to be a’fallow’ time just lately 🌝

[@kriegshund6441]

That is really cool! I like the idea of a survival vest. I should look at cutting down one of my aftermarket flecktarn smocks or my Swiss m70 alpenflage smock. it could be expanded depending upon the circumstances with the clip on "backpack " 🤔 rather than dropping $250 , if I could even find one.

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

They're pretty common, just stupid prices..

[@kriegshund6441]

I think I'd rather spend " stupid prices" on ammo. A quiet afternoon, a beer, a pair of scissors and an old smock i don't use is priceless!

[@Queensryche230]

Dumb question. What you use to sew your stuff, regular thread? Have you ever tried using braid fishing line or would that even work?

[@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska]

Never tried fishing live. I hear stories about SAS guys changing their button thread to fishing line but I think that was originally just because its nearly impossible to lose a button with that. Somehow it took on a life of its own regarding survival fishing.. Not a dumb question-As to my thread- I use heavy-duty interior/exterior buy a company called Coats. You can get it at Joanna fabrics.. Its tough stuff.. very very hard to break with you hand.
