Loading the Alice Pack for camping season.

[@gregknight293]

Bugging out is a fun daydream . Many have a wife and kids at home to protect and provide for . Would be great if it was a case of " The family that bugs out together stays together . " Just imagine going to the woods and waterways and providing warm ,dry shelter and food and water for four instead of just yourself . And don't forget your elderly kin you"re leaving behind to fend for themselves . Best plan on staying home with the family and being prepared to defend them with your life .

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Exactly my thoughts

[@MichiganSilverBack]

Right on... at home, even without food, water, electric, heat, you still have the soundest shelter youre gonna get.

Love my Alice Pack got mine in 85 on Active Duty 1985. I have Elk hunted and Backpack all over the Country. Great kit You have. Looks like you got it covered. Have a Great Day.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Do you have a remedy for the bag falling over

[@reedmitchell6716]

@@SpiritoftheOutdoors I took mine off the frame. The straps and waist belt work fine. So the tipping stops.

@@reedmitchell6716 im gonna have to try that i cant deal with it falling over every time i sit it down

I agree with you about not batoning a knife. I was raised up in the east Texas thicket and my grandfather would kick my butt if I banged on my knife blade like most of the youtube movie stars do. I also agree with you about the necessity of bucking up wood for a campfire. It is wasted time and energy. I know there are times when I would want to, like if I am hot tent camping and I need shorter pieces to fit the stove. I also think that a hawk is one of the most important tools a person can carry. I have run the woods for over seventy years, so I am no stranger to the woods. I enjoy your videos.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Thank you. Its all about getting views now. They having a contest to see who can put their ridge lines up the easiest. I mean really i thought tying a knot was easy enough. How lazy have we become?

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

I think you have pretty much got it covered. Thanks for showing what's in your bag.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Its a good camping setup for what i do. I dont have to tote it much

[@FORDRANGERFAN]

That's a nice assortment of stuff you got in the bag. Still wanting to see Brodie's bag. And ya, it's nice to be able to just grab one bag with what you need in it and not having to worry about forgetting something.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

We gonna have to find him a bag soon

Gosh watching you load that just takes me back... that pack is like a dump truck!

[@zacharygirgenti3790]

It was awesome to see your gear and hear some of your thoughts on it. You have a solid set up in my humble opinion. Thanks for putting this together.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Hopefully soon we can set it all up

[@WH6FQE]

Add the cargo shelf to the bottom of the Alice frame, that allows the ruck to stand upright without falling over. After learning that from carrying the Alice pack in the Marine Corps, I have a cargo shelf on the bottom of all of my Alice frames

[@mike451]

Justin we had them to carry in the 82nd the weight was 75 pounds loaded however in the mountains where your legs are going to carry up hill you die very quickly. so you don't carry more than 25 0r less . great video i like you approach to the bug out stuff that is a word made up to sell junk people don't need.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Yea I’ve figured out all these big name guys are well paid to push products on people. I do want a grayl water jug . Have you used one? I think it woul be great benefit in this swamp water

[@randybradley7427]

I use a dry bag for some stuff. But I use a double trash bag in side my backpack. I have used a Alice pack a lot. But bought a molie 2 large rucksack. I love it its not ultra light but I love it. Everything is in one bag and comfortable. Good video

[@MichiganSilverBack]

The last couple years here in sw michigan February has been nicer than March/April! One day was 71 this year, had two or 3 weeks of sunny "warmer" weather. Had the grands in the woods and believe it or not, had some tick issues..

[@ventura1893]

Bottom shelf stop's Alice from laying down/ makes another space between the shelf and bottom of the pack /the shelf clips to the frame and can have straps holding whatever you carry

[@braveseven4655]

Thank you

Thanks for sharing Justin

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Thanks for watching

[@jamiejohnston4983]

I got 2 Alice packs but I dont use the frames at all. You'd probably be better off without it also. all my camping gear has been in one for several years now

[@MichiganSilverBack]

Get you a willy pete bag, green, rubber, waterproof, gi issue back in the 80's. Goes in the pack, then pack in the wp bag.. will make an alice pack float when fully loaded, if closed correctly.

[@michaelhursey9]

If you put some cord though the I let’s you make a loop to keep your tomahawk from falling out

[@larryalexander4833]

Morning Justin watch later. Work starting soon.

[@mikaelhellgren6781]

Hey Justin! Interesting as usually! I've been thinking to do a grab and go packing because the increasing threat from Russia. I'm living on the island Gotland in the Baltic Sea. Best regards.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Yes if i were in your situation id definitely have a bag loaded and id also have a box or tub in my vehicle with food and water in it to where if you had to leave in a hurry from strikes your not stopping to buy food

[@nathanhamidi3585]

I’ve got a military four piece sleep system and it looks different- it’s much bigger. What is your sleep system?

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I have the gortex bivy and the green bag is all. I almost bought the black bag the other day but i really dont need it here

Do you use a bullet for snakes with the 22 or rat shot?

If i dont use something on a trip or 2 i cull it

[@MichiganSilverBack]

The mtn rucks are nice, until you fill em and gotta hump 10 or 12 miles.. do you plan on carrying this or is it more a "canoe pack"? .... sorry commented too soon..

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Naw i dont ever carry a pack far. It in a canoe or a buggy mostly. If i have to carry it . It aint ever far.

[@kennethwilson8633]

Never have bug juice in your gear without a ziplock bag on it…especially deet wil destroy gear I usually double bag it. Have fun stay safe.

[@larryreese6146]

Well, I'll be 70 before long and I've decided on 2 bags, one to carry my extra 40 pounds of belly fat, another with a good straight stick and some rope to keep my back straight, a tank of extra oxygen, and a good switch I can warp myself on the butt with to keep myself movin' along. If it works I might put a patent on it.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Youd make a fortune off of it

[@larryreese6146]

@@SpiritoftheOutdoors yeah, and I thought of some other things too. Some I cant mention, but I figure some WD forty for my Knees, some fix a flat for my feet, some tibber bands to hold up my messed up rotor cuffs. If it works out I'll use the kit till I'm 90. Then I'll buy a jackass.

CARGO SHELF WILL HELP TO STOP IT TIPPING OVER

[@paulloyko2888]

I can see the radical difference between family life today and what I had as a boy in the 1950s....I never saw a tv untill I was in, the 4th grade......the dinner table is what ALWAYS brought the family together.........Grace before food . ......even today take challenge. ....can feed family on $20 week.......basic food stuff e end in suburbia. ......bag oy potatoes. ....onions. . Carrots. .flour...sugar....cofffee....corn meal etc. Etc. It was the wife that fwd,rhe family. ......ONE IS NONE AND TWO IS ONE. ....HAVE READ MUCH about The native living in the artic environment. .... .the Inuit man could not survive in that environment without a wife.....story after story in literature confirming that reality......pull up the old Canadian films about the CREE in upper Canada regions. ...the first order of survival is a strong family structure and community. ...the bible is the anchorage of both

[@paulloyko2888]

Good job. ...explain the reality between camping and BUGGING OUT........really where are you going to bug out to ???? What about family and friends....community. .....reality is survival of power outages...fuel shortages. ..no food in super market. ...no medacine and on and on...just challenge average family to unplug tv and social media games for one week ???? Yeeeehaaaw see what happens. ......I took my grad kids camping one week end and,made them leave cell,phones at home....9n the way home tou could see them experience seious withdrawal ......very anxious to get home.....need to recognize all types of addiction

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

You are 100% correct

[@ShipWreck54]

No one really knows how far they will be away from where they need to get to in SHTF when the time comes. I could be at my bugout location or I could be 400 miles away. Everything I need is at my bugout location. But I still need a bugout bag to get me there. So I keep one in my house, which is 4-5 days from my bugout cabin if I have to make the trip on foot. It doesn’t have everything I need for long term survival but it will hopefully get me to the location that does.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Yes sir I understand your point but i do know where ill be . Right here . I live at my location.

[@MichiganSilverBack]

Sorry for the rolling comments, really enjoyed this vid!

[@christopherarnett2851]

Better use it as a 🐛 out bag. Especially when you got a lot of hooded thug's invading your property. Stay cocked and locked.

[@paulloyko2888]

Sorry, but as the bible is the anchorage of the family the wife is the anchorage also of the family without the wife there is no family
