Five Kits To Make Your Life Easier!

[@hoss5852]

Agreed. Sort your kit after your adventure. I was also taught, "The more you know, the less you need to cary." Simple facts. More great content. Thanks for sharing.

[@honorableoutfitters]

Thank you and wise words!

[@wolfgangkranek376]

True. But keep in mind, it's not so much theoretical knowledge. But practical know how and experience. Just like too many people rely on being gear junkies, also too many rely on only reading about a topic or watching videos, instead of doing it themselves.

[@honorableoutfitters]

This it true brother. Knowledge has little use until practiced or tried.

[@wolfgangkranek376]

@@honorableoutfitters I've been often guilty of this myself to be fair.

[@gwargumm9511]

Solid advice!! The coffee kit does come under the category of “survival”

[@honorableoutfitters]

It does for me, 🤣

[@gwargumm9511]

Same here😂

[@behindthespotlight7983]

Lovely first video of my day. Quiet. Thought provoking. Motivational. Kind. And still part time machine

[@honorableoutfitters]

Thank you brother!

[@markbrandli]

Great info , that system of kits has worked for me for 60 years ... I even use that system in my 1700-1800's living history camping and they did too !

[@honorableoutfitters]

Very cool! It's neat how technology changes but needs and some desires stay the same!

[@gregoryfrolov2537]

I keep just a basic sewing awl in my bag

[@nickprague1481]

As a diabetic I accumulate a lot of those little test strip canisters. They are waterproof, and 3 grams of Folgers instant in one of them makes a great cup of coffee at a huge savings over the individual packets.

[@honorableoutfitters]

Those are so practical for spices, kits, and general storage to stay organized.

[@dwaynef5410]

I understand the nostalgic packing kits, but I would suggest using assorted sized dry bags.

[@honorableoutfitters]

When I go backpacking with my Scouts I do. They are lighter too!

[@AzraelThanatos]

I've got a kit that includes my compass rather than on it's own. Most of it is empty, but it's a two part military surplus map "case" thing that I put maps in for the area I'm at and there's a pouch for the compass and a couple other things so that it's all in one easy to access thing. And the case itself is useful because it lets you access the map without opening it and keeping it from getting wrecked in poor weather conditions...or if you end up in a stream.

[@57WillysCJ]

Everyone needs a bit of organization. Probably one of the first things taught to youth groups in the old days. As winter comes along it's a good time to practice sewing. old sheets, pillow cases as well as shirts and pants will provide you with working materials. I have to laugh at Kephart toting a porcelain cup with the handle brocken off. It was his needed item that many would think not needed. Everyone will find that item.

[@honorableoutfitters]

Lol, me too...I think my silly thing is my pillow 😂

[@Rusty_ok]

If you want to practice sewing use some material and make bags to carry your kits.

[@samuelcorbin3694]

I really like having my stuff organized in small kits, too. You made some good suggestions. I have subscribed and will watch for more. Also, I will look at your play list.

[@honorableoutfitters]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@alanajhyman]

Thank you

[@ravenbarsrepairs5594]

I can't say moving to a "hit" mentality really serves my usage in most things. The issue being that it always results in many redundancies, resulting in an excessively heavy pack(and I'm one that carries a 30-40lb pack on dayhikes.) My kit theory at this point is to have different ready to go kits, set up for the days plans. i.e. a belt kit; a haversack kit; a slingbag kit, ect; all of which contain the 10C's and whatever else I think I may need.

[@honorableoutfitters]

That's fantastic forethought and planning.

[@ScottCarlson-cz7wj]

I have a fire kit in an old tobacco tin bought on e-bay. It has a cool factor and makes me feel a little closer to history while using it.

[@honorableoutfitters]

Great use! They were and are so common it is an economical and practical use!

[@curtisketch640]

The one thing I would like to see would be some sort of water purification kit.

[@honorableoutfitters]

You are right! I have come to rely on my Grayl. Simple, effective, and purifies.

[@maryusa8526]

A map is also important...it has all directions and places marked. You can navigate easily even if you don't have a compas and It can be waterproofed.

[@honorableoutfitters]

Very true! Thanks for remarking on it!

[@marclucier2533]

Great video. I made Eagle in 1980. We had everything in kits. Worked great

[@honorableoutfitters]

Congrats brother Eagle! I learned later, lol, but at least I learned!

For a first aid kit, I like to use a vintage Boy Scout Johnson & Johnson first aid tin.

[@mrmicro22]

We know what's cool.

Finally this old fart got army pup tent.its awesome. Though no floor had dig out my old ground cloth scouts so that one of my kits now.done back yard and close by outing with to see how snaps hold up. Cool might have get shovel. Got caught thunderstorm away. Ditch around tent would help but had pretty good spot. I only got little wet. The canvas held up might give spray just give little better resistance.lucky had old wool blanket wrap up that was comfortable.

[@honorableoutfitters]

I bring out the dog tent for special occasions. Not much space in them and I'm a bit tall, lol.

[@stewpadasso154]

I am a confirmed gear whore. I have multiple kits. A primitive kit. A jeep kit. A hunting kit. Blah.Blah. Blah. But what i do after rebuilding a kit, i put those colored dot stickers on everything. After a couple trips , things that have a sticker, get tossed. I have used note books to change out equipment that doesn't work or to make additions. I mean , who doesn't keep a pocket note book on them always.

[@markcummings6856]

Good info. Thanks.

[@honorableoutfitters]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mrmicro22]

I carry one plastic clamp on grommet to keep me going until I get back to my heavy duty repair kit.

[@rahtoren6385]

Yeah pup tent not fully have no impact or leave as found it though careful be able put back close.

[@mnmikeoutdoors8595]

Thank you so much! 😀

[@angryshrub1]

I’m going to need a bigger box

[@honorableoutfitters]

Lol, accumulation of gear causes that 🤣

[@jwgbmp40]

Is that an old school usmc uniform belt you have on?

[@honorableoutfitters]

It's a "WWII" issued belt. :) They were issued before WWII but was solidified with the success of use during the war.

[@michellemichaels3258]

Cool 😎

[@mannihh5274]

I'm missing a kit with water bottle, pot, lid and cup as well as some water purification tablets - without it, your coffee-kit renders useless.

[@honorableoutfitters]

You're not wrong!

[@b_ks]

Deodorant?

[@honorableoutfitters]

Talc powder and body powder only goes so far for me friend.

[@phillipmerritt1428]

I would have like to see you use the items, not use talk about them.
