MINIMALIST Traditional BUSHCRAFT Kit Load-out Bedroll & Haversack Wilderness Survival & Camping

A traditionalist is a person who supports the established customs and beliefs of his or her society or group, and does not want to change them. A traditionalist idea, argument, or organization supports the established customs and beliefs of a society or group, rather than modern ones. Adhering or conforming to customs, beliefs, values handed down from generation to generation preferring what is old or long established.
Bushcraft is a set of skills and knowledge that can be used to survive in the outdoors. Building a shelter, creating a fire, foraging for food and collecting water are all essential bushcraft skills. Others include making cordage, plant identification and natural navigation.
A minimalist lifestyle is intentionally living with fewer possessions - focusing only on the ones you need.
Personal inspirations A.G. Hales, Mors Kochanski, Horace Kephart, George Washington Sears, Susanna Moodie, and Les Hiddins.

A mountain man is an explorer who lives in the wilderness. Mountain men were most common in the North American Rocky Mountains from about 1810 through to the 1880s (with a peak population in the early 1840s). They were instrumental in opening up the various emigrant trails (widened into wagon roads) allowing Americans in the east to settle the new territories of the far west by organized wagon trains traveling over roads explored and in many cases, physically improved by the mountain men and the big fur companies originally to serve the mule train based inland fur trade.
They arose in a natural geographic and economic expansion that was driven by the lucrative earnings available in the North American fur trade, in the wake of the various 1806-07 published accounts of the Lewis and Clark Expeditions' findings about the Rockies and the Oregon Country where they flourished economically for over three decades. By the time two new international treaties in early 1846 and early 1848[1] officially settled new western coastal territories in the United States and spurred a large upsurge in migration, the days of mountain men making a good living by fur trapping had largely ended. The fur industry was failing because of reduced demand and over trapping. With the rise of the silk trade and quick collapse of the North American beaver-based fur trade in the 1830s-1840s, many of the mountain men settled into jobs as Army scouts or wagon train guides or settled throughout the lands which they had helped open up. Others, like William Sublette, opened fort-trading posts along the Oregon Trail to service the remnant fur trade and the settlers heading west.

A very very wise man once said “the more you know the less you have to carry. The less you know the more you have to carry” It’s amazing how little gear you actually NEED to just go out and have a good weekend especially in great weather. Can’t wait for the tarps to come out so I can upgrade really looking forward to that great video as always my friend.

[@traditionalbushcraft]

ty for coming by my man!

[@brianfreland9065]

Well said! A pot, some tools, a tarp, and some wool will create some awesome comfort and camping!

Holy cow where has this channel been hiding?? I just now stumbled onto it. I'm into traditional muzzleloaders therefore my survival gear is for the most part 18th century. What you use is pretty similar to mine. I like to go old school like you. I'll go check out your other videos

Sick setup brother! I really dig the idea of a wash bowl! I to really like having clean hands. And just having done a bushcraft shave video and just using an eating bowl a collapsible wash bowl would be mint! 👌🏻

[@redfishsurvival1413]

Very curious why you prefer 80/20 wool blankets. You also mentioned 70/30 but no explanation. Having always heard 100 wool was best, I never thought about it but I'm sure there is a good reason. Comfort, drying, shrinking, weight, cost, availability, etc.? Thanks from a new sub.

[@traditionalbushcraft]

thanks so much for coming by and the sub i appreciate it. The blends retain less water, have a higher threshold for shedding water and yes are lighter they also dry faster. Great question! Make sure you check out my instagram and give me a follow and anytime you have a question send me a message i love community interaction.

Great video, very helpful descriptions and ideas here. I was unable to make out the make and model of that cast iron pan, could you detail that so I can Google it please? Thanks in advance!

[@traditionalbushcraft]

thanks for coming by i appreciate it! it is known as a cowboy skillet pressed iron

[@MrJejreno]

Ok, very nice and good stuff! The problem is the weight of all this! The modern materials are not as sexy but they are much lighter and confortable. However, after years of innovations in new matters, we realize that Merinos wool and duck down and feather are still the most technical materials that exists… so there is the for and against! Nice video, anyway!

[@traditionalbushcraft]

First thanks so much for coming by i appreciate you, Second it is titled very clearly that this is a " traditional " kit obviously referring to the old school approach and using older traditional gear. I have a " modern " kit video up that i think you will enjoy.

[@MrJejreno]

@@traditionalbushcraft ok I understand… for myself, I also love traditional materials like leather and waxed canvas. I used them daily with my shoes, wallets bags and jeans. I love the fades and stuff with a history and long terme livings. I put a lot of money and energy in it… But for hiking, I like when it’s light! I live in the mountains and sleeps very often in the wild… But it is true that these matters have a soul…

[@moorshound3243]

Modern plastic stuff sucks. If you had a modern light weight version of this kit it would last you maybe a season? We as working men who want to enjoy an outer want good quality bomb proof gear that will last years. The only new age stuff I like are new stainless steel pots so you don't have to worry about them falling to bits in your fire. Oh & foam mats had mine for over 20 years was given to me by a soldier.

[@lowermichiganadventures]

I love the cook set where could I possibly find something like this??

[@traditionalbushcraft]

If you are referring to the pig tail set lots of different companies offer them, just a fast google for cast iron pig tail cooking set will do the trick. Thanks for coming by my channel I appreciate the support 🙌🏼🌲🌲

[@vyacheslavioffe5132]

Question !!! Why do you prefer 80/20 wool blanket over 100 ?

[@traditionalbushcraft]

Thanks for coming by my channel and watching my content I appreciate you, it is lighter and easier to clean and retains its shape better than 💯 wool

[@a.toddmoore7262]

Sir, great video! Where did you get the belt? I would love to snag one for myself.

[@traditionalbushcraft]

Thanks for coming by i appreciate it, The belt is made by OH .co they can be found on Amazon or directly from them HIGHLY recommend this belt and company.

[@P373RV2]

It may be a dump question, but 80% wool and 20% of what? I have seen all kinds of mixes, from cashmere to polyester and so on….

[@traditionalbushcraft]

Great question! typically a poly blend, Thanks so much for coming by my channel i appreciate you!
