I noticed you usually wear cowboy leather boots. Have you ever had any problem with thorns penetrating ? I live in Laredo,Texas and after trying various military style boots I find that Rocky Jungle boots will stop even 4 inch mesquite torns from penetrating. Could you do a review on footwear?

[@zacharyvieck8607]

From Indiana. Now in New Mexico. Thank you for your information. It has helped tremendously

[@JunkyardFox]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SurvivoTek]

Looks like a fantastic haversack. I've been eyeing some of Tuff Possum's gear on my Instagram account lately. I totally see the Tiki face on that buckle, haha! Looks like it can fit quite a bit and is really well constructed! Great review, my friend! Keep it up!!

[@Wheeling88]

That's a cool bag .. love the "V" style beard& stache ... 👍👍👍👍👍

[@neitzsche5150]

James, great video. I've never heard of Tuff Possum Gear, but it looks like high quality stuff. I really like the interior design of the haversack! Very well thought out. If there is one thing that I'd modify (and this is just me being picky), I'd replace the 2" flat webbing shoulder strap with 2" tubular webbing. I'd cut off the existing webbing, leaving enough material to be able to sew on a 2" double D-ring at each connection point. Then, I'd add a length of 2" tubular webbing. The reason for this is to increase the versatility of the haversack. You could store a 21" Bahco bow saw blade inside the tubular webbing, and it would lie flat so you'd never know it was there. You could also store long tent pegs in the vertical portions of the webbing to save space in the haversack. While in camp, you could use the 2" webbing as a strap around a tree to support a hammock; if you're a climber, tubular webbing is excellent for protecting ropes around sharp rocks. The uses are endless.

Hello. I'm from Russia. Thank you for your videos, they support me and they are very interesting, I am pleased to learn how people live in other climates and other countries, it's cool. I love your presentation, plot and your pragmatism, respect, thanks again.

[@EDKIY-TIP]

And the music of Cuervo Negro is beautiful, thanks to him too.

[@kennethwilson8633]

How is the ruble these days???

[@EDKIY-TIP]

@@kennethwilson8633 So-so, like everything else in the world.

[@eme71489]

The skittle pouch is a nice accessory pouch for sticking inside the EDC Shackleton. The larger tool pouch with side handle is great for cordage and tent stakes in larger overnight kits.

[@troyjenkins3886]

His survival scarf is really cool.It can be used in a lot of ways and now they offer a even bigger one.

[@jacksonteller1337]

I usually carry an old German breadbag made of canvas. Three slots one for first aid, one for cooking things (oil, herbs and spices) and one for utensils. The main pouch is used for food and other stuff like Opinel 12 stainless steel and cutting board. The main cooking vessel, water container and survival stuff is on my bushcraft belt.

[@brendandennison3477]

That tiki face, I see it. But now I can’t unsee it, if you know what I mean. Cool video👍

[@ClintThomsen]

I’ve always been curious why you prefer a haversack over other types of bag.

[@REZrblde]

It feels nice to wind back some where in the open desert with no one around and eating a cup of ramen after a tiring day of work. Something simple as ramen tastes better outdoors lol

[@BrosephRussell]

Nice review of the Haversack looks nice

[@DannyRiskit]

I'm digging those side pockets

[@HEBI.RAIDEN]

Looking good both urban and wilderness EDC,

[@dS34384]

Thanks for the great Videos, we enjoy your channel, looking for your input please, I am wanting to purchase a Haversack & it is a tough decision on which brand to purchase, Nutsack, Possum, Woodsman there are so many, you have a lot of experience with all of them, have you tried the Helikon-Tex Bushcraft Haversack, what is your recommendation from your experience, looking for the best one - Thanks

[@robertofoster2009]

👍👍👍 looks like a good haversack by possum gear! I got the hidden woodsman haversack and it's a great bag!

[@sergiogranados4477]

dig that bag looks handy are those the las cruces mountains in the back ground

[@dchappell]

I own the Shackleton satchel, and I own one of tuff possum belt pouches, i highly recommend anything he produces!

[@dannyh9010]

Nice haversack. I think I may have seen those little bottles with the cork stoppers at Hobby Lobby.

[@johnburgin7478]

Was thinking the same thing

[@haroldmiller6853]

Thanks for sharing James looks like a great bag .

[@jeffslaven]

Great load out James! As always, nothing short of excellence! I'm a pack guy myself, but I must say that is a sweet haversack. I've seen you wear one so often, that I can't picture you without it. Would love to see your take on the Maxpedition Proteus one day. That's been my go to for a few years now.

[@ninjasquirrels]

I’m a pack guy too, Mystery Ranch Urban Assault 21L is my EDC. Thinking about getting the newer 18L though, now that I’ve relocated I can pack smaller and lighter…

[@ninjasquirrels]

@iPac9mm well, presumably he doesn’t do that on a EDC basis, just like I don’t carry mine in my pack. All I carry in mine is whatever I need for the day, some extra clothes like a jacket and a spare pair of socks, some water and snacks, a rather comprehensive first aid kit…that’s it. I’m guessing he has a similar thing going on inside his haversack on a daily basis too 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@jessierobbins6308]

That reminds me of a WW1 or WW2 messenger bag. Cool !

[@rainbowhiker]

Haven't heard of this company before this video. I'll check them out.

[@rickwhitson2804]

Awesome review. You can tell very good quality materials in the product

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Cool looking bag!! I like the clip in front and pockets inside... very nice!

[@JunkyardFox]

Thanks for watching!

[@ahayseed654]

The buckle is a possum face. The squeeze locks are the ears. Nice review & loadout. Everyone has different needs when it comes to what to carry. I find a different bag for each environment, preloaded, works well for me. No two haversacks, or backpacks are loaded the same. The only extras are food, and expected weather. Keep 'm dirty.

[@Snowcap-CrewBear]

Very helpful review on the Tuff Possum Haversack The bags design is quite usefully engineered and the craftsmanship of the bag is impressive. However, I do have reservations regarding the buckle design and assembly. It appears to be made of a cast plastic material and over the years I have not had good experiences with plastic buckles/hardware. In any event, thanks for another great video review.

[@Thomas_M76]

Nice looking haversack! May check one out. I’m currently using a Hidden Woodsmen Haversack.

[@JunkyardFox]

i have several hiddden woodsmen haversacks, theyre awesome

[@KepmukNesshart]

Cool haversack! Thanks James.

[@FulcrumMW]

These are beautiful haversacks! Gonna have to look into getting one sometime, I love the tiki buckle lol. Great video, man 🤘 can't go wrong with chicken Ramen :)

[@robman247]

Awesome 👏 setup JF 🦊👍👌✌️🇺🇸

[@IrishZombieNation]

Good-looking bag.

[@elizabeththompson4424]

yep... got one for Christmas 2023 so fat it's GREAT! has it's issues... the shoulder strap buckle slide strap could be thicker the fold over flaps curl some, maybe after time... they were out of the Satchel Organizer Panel & Stabilizer Strap have been out of stock... this is now my EDC replacing my Healthy Back Bag (purse/sling, formerly made in USA)

[@feendog2711]

Does your canteen fit in there as well? How do you like it vs hidden woodsman haversack?

[@MountainSportAirguns]

Right on James, that's a neat bag for sure and looks extremely well made. I'll have to check out his IG, thanks for showing it off. Cheers 💪

[@onmyway7363]

Ive never seen anyone using a haversack. Looks handy as can be. 😊

[@steveburton9242]

Cuervos soundtrack is on point as ever

[@TheDawnbringer]

Ahhh James hon you make me so homesick. The satchel looks great, so do you come to think about it. How do you keep that manly bod when you eat crap like instanoods? :P lol

[@herbsmith6871]

I have a zippered pouch from him, great quality! Nice load out 🤠

[@reddirt5489]

Very cool bag super heavy duty, just not sure about the man purse type thing. I do like the look of the bag, wish it could be maybe 3x larger and in back pack from. I will check out the website. Thanks James!

[@holyfirebushcraft6816]

Great video James new to the channel a big howdy from west virginia

[@jasons.9389]

Better than the Hidden Woodsman?

[@JunkyardFox]

not better. just a diffrent design and intepretation. i love both

[@pabloescamilla9607]

Greetings from Mexico City!😀🇲🇽

[@markfcoble]

Thanks for review and show.

[@migueltorres8925]

Thanks James just ordered it

[@73FORGE]

Looks like a great haversack!

[@martyrmaverick8583]

would love to see the tuff possum gear belt pouch!!

[@alanrice39]

Nice haversack, good video

[@forgemaster12]

TPG makes a sleeve for canteens and cups to keep all the soot off you bag after cooking with them over a fire.

[@WoodyAndy]

Nice compact kit there!

[@yuccanator1]

Chicken Ramen with a Jalapeno, now you have my attention.

[@michaeldombrowski9193]

It’s a cute little bag although I prefer my now rare large German bread bag that. I got from Sports Mans Guide several years ago for about $30. It measures about 18” x 12” x 9” fully loaded. it has 3 pockets on the outside which are under the flap when it’s closed. It also has a divider inside. I got mine in black and used it as an EDC bag until I retired. Then when we had the 6,250 acre Marshall Fire with 1,084 homes destroyed in December which was only a few miles away, I repurposed it as an Evac bag. The one big danger of a bag this large is that it’s really very easy to overload it if you want to walk very far so I would try to use mainly ultralight gear in it for bushcrafting or camping.

[@mikeseagrave3612]

watched y our edc vid and saw trhe torch u wear in your hat,bought it.works great.thx for the info

[@eme71489]

It is perfect. I’ve used many verse packs, satchels and man bags. This combines the best features, modularity, strength, ergonomics and weight. I have other small backpacks but this form function can’t be beat! Love the exterior slot pockets and webbing loops for quick access and attaching bottle pouches. The cobra buckle is so silent and easy to use.

[@squeakyp87]

Aguire Springs? I plan to take my 3 year old on his first camping trip there this spring.

[@gwpattrick]

Still like my hazard 4 rocket sling pack. You got a review of that poncho. I'll look anyways.

[@JohnBurdette-or7if]

Nice bag 👍

[@michaelbrunner6654]

Nice haversack

[@jboutdoors7509]

l like your videos James Jason from Melbourne Australia

Thank you..

[@oferbechor1579]

THANK YOU

[@jorgequinones991]

Good video. GBY.

[@JunkyardFox]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@troymanning3150]

Thanks James! Nice bag……didn’t think anything could top the hidden woodsman.

[@JunkyardFox]

neither tops the other, both brands are great, its just a slightly different design and interpretation of a haversack

[@chrisu.k9307]

Please can you send me a link to your gutting, cooking and eating rat video. I would really like to watch it again as I’m getting into trapping rats for food. Thank you.

[@mehmetkupeli8611]

jesse iam a luddite. if I buy the Thrunite T1 flashlight does it have a recharcable battery in it ? if so does it come with the recharging usb cables ?

[@davidedmonjr.5184]

If I had that bag it wouldn't be so organized.

[@nonameneeded-n6t]

Never thought anything was wrong with the traditional haversac. All the newbies out there are just making tactical purses.

[@JunkyardFox]

nobody said theres nothing wrong with older haversacks, theres just a lot of diffrenet companies, varieties, and styles, because you know, its a free market.

[@randyyeager]

I still like The Hidden Woodsman's haversack better. The PALS webbing on the sides is a great place for an ifak and a bottle pouch. And the axe sleeve is great. I get this isn't called a haversack but I'd rather have a Hidden Woodsmen haversack in the outdoors. Nothing against this bag, looks well made. I like the 2 pockets on the inside front of the bag but the Laser cut PALS webbing on the inside back makes no sense to me, I'd rather have elastic webbing. And that buckle is extreme overkill.

[@mikejones1141979]

If Ramen knew that their product would be a staple of campers, hikers, bushcrafters they would market it as such.

[@jenniferbauman4802]

Good video good review. I can tell you those tent stakes suck. When a Storm comes they will fail. And your missing tape. For repairs and first aid. Not to be a Dick I don't like the flashlights . Well God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

[@Texo_McKevo]

So is it a haversack? Cause it looks like the satchel they sell.

[@JunkyardFox]

They’re the same thing. It’s officially called the satchel

[@Texo_McKevo]

@@JunkyardFox I was confused on that and also I saw a affordable company I am wanting to buy but they sell archery equipment well… they sell a haversack for $59.99. The “brand” or “company” is 3rivers archery (haversack hunting pack)

[@samgasaway8894]

Dollar tree has those little spice vials.

[@davefarrell4911]

The only thing I don't like is no room for a water bottle, on outside

[@JunkyardFox]

i like to carry the water bottle in my hand but i can always put it inside the bag

[@georgerector9252]

Water?

[@fredfleming261]

👍👍🦊🦊

[@Mouthpiece985]

I'll stick with my backpack that's like too much like carrying a purse

[@JunkyardFox]

i really dont comprehend dudes feeling insecure about a haversack. looking back at vikings, native americans, pioneers, trappers, even soldires during world war 1 and 2, they all carried a satchel or haversack in one form or another. i can care less what ignorant people around me may think.
