Hi Paul. An almost identical packing regime to the one that is taught (or at least was when I was serving) in the Army. One slight change was that we used to pack the sleeping back directly into the bivvy bag and then into the bottom of the bergen/canoe bag. This cut down on the need for additional stuff sacks and also meant that the whole sleeping could be pulled out and was 'good to go' and in the same vein could be quickly crammed into the bergen if you needed to 'bug out' - admittedly there's less likelihood in this happening when out for a 'night in the woods'! Keep up the great work :-)

Very well explained, as usual. I am currently building on such an "intermediate" kit too as up until now, I used to have only three setups consisting of: - a type of 10L-ish daypack for the 5 C's (from the Yugoslavian People's Army), the bare minimum - a 28L lightweight trekking backpack with overnighter-gear for short trips - a 75L heavy kit for longer alpine trips lasting up to weeks After a while it became apparent that all of these setups are rather specialised, the first ideal for simple hikes whereas the latter really only serves in mountain type of terrain. I guess I will take some inspiration from this video to build a weekender-type of kit. Thanks for sharing!

I liked the video very much. Very informative. I use a different type of rucksack, a longer, 70litre backpack because I was always told that it was best to get the heavier items up higher on your back. Also, a narrower pack doesn't get snagged as much on tree branches. But after seeing this video I wonder if I'm approaching it the right way after all. The trouble with a long pack is that you can't seperate your food from your sleep gear, or your cooking gear. So when I stop to put on a brew, I have to go through the layers of things in the pack to get out the right bits and pieces. You can put the cooker on top of course, but then you'll be moving it out to get at your jumper. I find that I am always packing and repacking my bag. So I really like your system. Its logical and efficient. It is great that I can get onto your channel and learn from your expertise. Thanks for making the video. Cheers, Paul (from the Mallee, Victoria, Australia).
@PaulKirtley6 жыл бұрын
Hi Paul, thanks for your comments. It is still good to get heavier items higher up and, importantly, close to your back. Longer packs without side pockets can be good, particularly in the exposed hills or for longer backpacking trips. But for shorter trips, particularly in the woods, this is the system I like to use. It's always a case of finding a system that works for you. And remember, this can vary from one situation to another. For example, when I am ski-touring, I prefer a taller pack, with no side pockets. This is partly to do with balance and partly to do with freedom of movement of the arms. Anyway, I'm glad this video gave you some areas to think about how you organise your own kit. Warm regards, Paul

Hi Jediknight! Glad you liked the video. lol re Kirtley Kettles. Re your questions - when I'm heading to the woods in the UK, I don't as a matter of course add a saw blade to make a larger saw. On expeditions I would consider it (vs taking a folding bucksaw). Most of the stuff I typically want to split - particularly for overnight camps before moving on - I can section with the Laplander. The belt pouch is related to the kit I used for recording the vid. Possibles vid added to the long list!

Hi Dave, areas with lots of spruce, firs, larches or hemlocks often have quite clear ground underneath them as they block out so much light from the forest floor, not much grows there.

Interesting on how it is packed. I was told to put the sleeping bag central to the pack and stuff everything around it. That has changed since I was in service though. So with everything in (including food) what is the pack weight compared to people who first do your course and intermediate learners. Could be important to beginners or people learning how to pack in the correct way. Could be a blog discussion there for that.

I'd love to see a simple video regarding what food you take for a couple of days in the woods, as you mention you put that into the one side pouch and only have the one cooking pot with you. I tend to over stretch myself i think, take a multiple of pots and over complicate the whole process. i'd get a lot from some advice on what you take as an example, and how you go about packing/cooking it. Perhaps not a 'cooking show' in the woods, but some simple tips that you've found work? as with all your videos i really appreciate that you don't preach 'this is the right way to do it' but rather show what you do, and how that works for you. it makes great watching. once again, brilliant videos!

zsd101 Hi there and welcome to my channel. Our winters in the UK are not as cold as you get in the midwest.

I do tend to head up to Norway and Sweden for winter camping trips though and for this, I take a down bag that has a comfort rating of at least -25 Celsius (-13 Fahrenheit).
