iswildexplorer thank you so much! What's your bag in the video though? The one you list here is the lk35... :-)

[@tbob8212]

@@forsephora44 looks like the Romanian army surplus rucksack. I bought one from Varusteleka.com awhile ago. They still have them in stock for $45.99 USD. Description from the site "Today it will cause spontaneous soiling of the pants among the vintage/retro fanatics, including us" lol. Sold as Romanian Retro pack around 40 liters capacity.

A great pleasure to discover a Romanian bushcrafter! Love the country, love the simplicity of your gear and approach. Thank you.

👍 Good video. Especially liked how you carried a Swedish Mess Kit in a simple camping system.

Growing up with limited means, surplus was the way to go. Bought or begged and borrowed. Great video. Brought back a lot of good memories.

[@billbrown1335]

I love the Surplus store. The camo jackets have so many pockets you can just pack it & run in an energency

[@tenhirankei]

Don't try that with the pants, unless it's soft gear like cordage, bandages, etc. The heavier/denser item can play H@ll on your legs while walking along the trail! Think a mess-kit hanging down low on either side from a belt. That's another thing. Wear bushcraft items on the belt across it, if they're long or heavy enough.

[@gvjester]

Awesome video 👍 Simple, concise and self explanatory even without speech!! Loved it and look forward to more videos. Thank you!

Looked like a great little trip, it using a tarp half as long as you was very odd, and certainly lucky for you it didn't rain.

Ms Viorel! Folosesc de cativa ani surplus militar (mai am cateva baionete, macete, izoprene, bidoane si pouch-uri) acolo unde imi permite natura iesirii. Ce sa zic... cu bune si cu rele cam ca orice :) Principalul avantaj este durabilitatea si apoi pretul. Raport calitate/pret nu prea gasesti altceva mai bun.

Try using the back of your knife for striking a spark - won't damage the blade. Also, you didn't put your fire out correctly.

Ms mult! 🙂

[@facitenonvictimarum]

1) Good job with the video! If not too personal, what part of RO are you from? (Half of my DNA came from a small city called Fagaras -- we are relatives (?)☺) Also have an email friend in Timisoara. 2) *Great idea* for the wood saw. I bet you *were* in the military. (i was) 3) One or two-man light weight tents are inexpensive, much warmer, more secure and a bear can't see what's inside. Gives you 2 more seconds to grab the 357 magnum. Here in the US we have the right to have hand guns while camping or backpacking. I have never gone without one and never had to use one. Except on a rattlesnake or two in camp at low elevations. 4) "Stay wild" from the California Sierra! 🇺🇸 Oops... PS: ·The dandelions you walked by are edible and very nutritious. Maybe you made tea from them. ·Looks like an American Indian Teepee tattoo on inside of your right wrist (0:35). I have Indian obsidian arrowheads and spearheads.

[@iswildexplorer]

Thanks for watching bro! We use dandelions a lot, especially in salads. I'm from Buzau. I wasn't in the military. I do own few tents but if you mean military surplus I don't think light weight concept applies :). I love almost everything about Native Americans. 🖖🖖🖖

[@facitenonvictimarum]

@@iswildexplorer ... Thanks! You're right, light weight doesn't apply to the military! I'm very interested in Native Americans too. (BTW, some say, call us Indians, not Native Americans! So I use both. Plus the Bureau of INDIAN Affairs is one mile from me:) I have a playlist called Original Americans. My favorites are the Modocs here in Northern California. I've gone through Captain Jack's Stronghold at the Lava Beds where the Modoc War was fought. Even have a frying pan with bullet holes in it from that war -- need to send it to a museum up at the site, tho. An excellent book about the war is _"Burnt Out Fires"_ by Richard Dillon. Native Americans are the most neglected minority in my country. White immigrants like my predecessors committed genocide agains them, now we ignore them and let the children live in poverty -- *SHAMEFUL!* (like slavery was shameful... like many say our current government is shameful!!) Sorry, just raving on, no need to reply! ☺

[@iswildexplorer]

Thanks! I love it too 😌

[@rosssmith4638]

Don’t you think you should have cleared the area of all leaves and grass before lighting your fire, because the way you done it is a great way to start a bushfire, then leaving it unmanned while you find other items to use was completely irresponsible.

[@iswildexplorer]

Everything was damp and there was still snow in some places, risk for a 🔥 to spread was pretty low. Thanks for watching!
