Very practical! Thank you for the different pouches/ kits and survival philosophy!

Love this. When I was a young kid in the early 1960's, I would go roaming with my grandfather deep into the pine forests deep down south. He carried a canvas sack about the size of that pouch you have there.It was tied with a short rope to the hammer hanger on the side of his overalls. It always amazed me the things he would pull out of that bag, as if somehow, the inside of the sack was 3 times bigger than the outside. Anything you might ever need seemed to be in that pouch. The day he pulled out 3 biscuits and a length of country sausage just made me think he was a magician.

A big extra pocket on your belt. Great idea. Basically a tool kit for making life better in the wild. Thank you for showing us what you are carrying, Joe. Stay safe

I 100% agree with your thoughts on the purpose of a belt pouch. And I never realized you had a Heartagram tattoo, nice!

I view my hip pouch as an extra pocket. I dont like having hard gear in my leg pockets to dig into me when I walk. Nice video Joe, good seeing you.

A great reminder for me to look into what I’m carrying around on my hip. I’d gotten out of the habit of carrying one, just because I was never using what I was carrying. Maybe a few tweaks are in order!

So I am not the only one carrying non-survival stuff on his belt. ;-) I use a set of Swiss army ammo pouches in thick leather, being 4 small compartments instead of a big one, holding fire kit, first aid stuff, plastic bag, cordage, a cloth handkerchief and other bits 'n bobs. Compass in a separate pouch. Knife of course. In winter a 5th larger pouch gets added with spare knitted finger gloves and an emergency/space blanket. Advantages being that there's a place for everything and everything's in its place plus the whole thing sits close to the body. No dangling or snagging. A belt-kit actually.

I dunno if you know this or not, but Bic makes electric lighters now. So you don't need a case for it. If you drop it in water, you just pull it out, gove it a couple shakes to get the excess water out of it and bam it lights

I've become more interested in hip pouches lately after watching the Netflix series "Outlander". I got to noticing that almost everyone; outside of city folk....IE those in the woods and wilds, has one on a belt.

Great content👍 I use a Hidden Woodsman belt pouch. Have you thought of turning the bid around in the sleeve. Means you can depress the gas and lock to extend the flame without burning your fingers.😊

Hey Joe! So my dilemma has been similar to yours: why so many “redundant C’s” to the point where I don’t bother with the belt pouch? Instead, I’ve been thinking about it similar to what you’re thinking. What items that I don’t use often do I still want around if the occasion arises? I rarely use a pocket bellows...until I need a pocket bellows! I rarely use a Repair Kit...until I need a Repair Kit! I guess I’m seeing the belt pouch as a place to put seldom used Kit that’s still great to have for when I need it. I rarely use “sure fire,” but having a hank of thick jute fits the bill and is extra cordage.
