What I learned from this is that you work out your carry weight - 20lb - over time. 👍 I took a load of junk gear out today to try it and start the process. Overthink things.

I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO CARRY AT YOUR RUCKSACK ARE A PAIR OF NAILSCISSORS AND A NAIL CLIPPER, BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM, IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE NAILS, ESPECIALLY, FROM YOUR TOES YOU CAN'T GO ANYWHERE. EXCELLENT VIDEO, AS ALWAYS.

A very comprehensive load out video. The EDC contents make a great deal of sense. So glad to have gotten a look inside of your rucksack. Thanks. - Tennessee Smoky

Like yourself I keep all of by pack contents in separate bags. Here’s a little hack that’s worked out quite nicely. Instead of random nylon ditty bags I use two small knapsacks that were designed to be brought along on backpacking trips, packed in ones large pack, in order to be used on day hikes away from camp. In addition to these I keep my PSK in a fanny pack as well as my IFAK in another. Both are low profile and “low calorie construction .” Meant as carry-alongs so that a backpacker using a 75L “mother pack” isn’t encumbered on day excursions with anything more than a packable knapsack that carries the bare essentials for day hiking. This way if my heavy duty cordura EDC pack should become irreparably damaged I can strip out the contents and don the assembly of smaller packs. Including carrying the disabled big daddy back home or base camp so that I can repair it with broader capabilities than a trail side fix

Hi Neil thank you for the nice video.... And thank you for my patch, I've finally sewn it onto my karrimor rucksack and I love it. Quick question, I noticed you wear a casio g shock.. I also notice you have a mini compass on the strap, could you explain what model it is and what mods if any you've done to it, maybe a video on it for us watch geeks 😊

I'm living in Germany and they undoubtedly make the best coffee but they don't understand tea, Ostfriesiantee is about the best. I now import PG Tibbs via Amazon. The question is, what brand of tea do you recommend. Tibbs tasts like heaven compared to German tea but you might know of something better than Tibbs.

Hi, Neil. I have that same Opinel saw and for the size and weight, it's a marvel. The thing with mine is that when it's humid and wet for a long time, the wood handle swells and it can be almost impossible to open without pliers, which isn't good. Got any tips or thoughts regarding what I might be able to do about this?
@greencraft47833 жыл бұрын
Hi Tom. I have had the same problem 😕. In the winter months I find carrying it in my trouser pockets help. I think my body warmth keeps the wood from swelling. Give it a try buddy.

Does the size compromise its usability? I have the Laplander but the aesthetics of an Opinel saw just beats a Laplander. I know about the size 18 but if there is no big other than the size and locking mechanism, should I go for the smaller of bigger version if pairing it with a tomahawk, fixed blade and pocket knife. Or should I just go full mountain men mode and only have the tomahawk, fixed blade and pocket knife?

Try keeping it in a small bag with a silica gel sachet in it. You know - those little sachets that come with some products that need to be kept humidity free. I've threatened my family and friends with slow death and destruction if they throw them away. OK - I've had a idea. How LONG is that Opinel Saw? Let me know. I've had a idea..
