My Lightweight Day Hiking, Bushcraft, Camping & Emergency Pack (The Haversack)

Just a quick look at what I carry in my haversack. Carrying some items with you whenever you go on an outing is always a good idea. In my opinion, the haversack is the most versatile and comfortable way to carry this gear.

Good little kit. I would suggest a small first aid kit. Nothing big, just band-aids, alcohol wipes etc...

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I actually did have one of those little Altoids type tin First Aid kits in there at one point. You know what.......Think I'm gonna add that back in. Thanks for that!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Put it back in a little bit ago 👍

[@TheDutchWanderer]

Nice little kit, the only thing I missed is a first aid kit 😉👍

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Just added it back in today. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@willowmoonriverhawk]

Great kit

Nice video my friend! Thank you for sharing a good video today.Have a nice weekend.👍🏼

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks! You as well!

[@daltoncain340]

So happy to see other people find this as cool as I do. You’re a legend Justin

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

😂 Thanks, man! Hope you're doing well!

[@bushcraftua1]

Wow, Silky is good 👍

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Love Silky saws! 👍

[@rainbowhiker]

That's an excellent kit. Much more inclusive than my kits. Can i suggest a long plastic rain coat with hood. One of those cheap plastic things. I've been out and caught in cold mountain rain a couple of times wishing I had one. Thanks amigo.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

That's a great idea! Thanks for recommending that!

[@Canadian_Craftsman]

Super solid loadout and stupid simple, love it nothing you don't need but the essentials✌️💚✊️🔥

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Definitely! When I did the overnight video with this kit, adding the blanket did help a lot! 👍

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks for watching!

[@Arkansas78]

Great kit! Love the B-roll

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks a lot, man! Hoping to make it out your way again this year. I love Arkansas. Did a section hike of the Ozark Highlands Trail a couple years ago with my wife. She's actually from Arkansas. You guys have a beautiful state. like a rainforest in the summer though......lol

[@Robert31352]

That is about perfect. My only addition would be a water filter of some kind. Thanks for the video.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Funny you mention that. One of my videos coming up is going to be a haversack only overnighter and that was the only thing I was gonna add to it. Thanks for the advice and for watching! 👍

[@behindthespotlight7983]

4:43 having a little ground cloth -even if it’s just a piece of silicone/naphtha scrap bedsheet or rolled Tyvek -is a serious difference maker. Reminds me of Les Stroud 20+ years ago wearing what looked almost like a repurposed floor mat from the back seat, hanging over his butt like a reversed apron, so that he had a dry place to sit in the Season 1 snow episodes of Survivorman. Speaking of which we gotta hand it to Les. Without him there’s be no bushcraft and survival genres on youtube. His selfie survival tactics literally created a genre 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Absolutely. Was watching the pilot episode literally 2 days ago. 😄 Thanks a lot for watching!

[@herbsmith6871]

Nice bit of kit! Thanks for sharing my friend 🤠

really good kit, man. no bs, just simple and effective! one more sub, keep it up and God bless 👊🏽

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks! Keeping it simple is the best way. Thanks for the sub! God bless you as well!

[@bushcraftua1]

Good set. I see that you use Mora's knife, I love these knives

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks! Unbeatable for the price!

[@michaelmeyers4950]

What I would add: Istaeli Bandage, Cool pack, Splint. As someone who hiked a lot but always tries to be back at the hotel room when it‘s dark my motto is: keep going. That‘s why I would put those items in your pack and I guess they would fit.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Awesome! Thanks for the advice And for watching!

[@hardtrooth1776]

Add a med kit with a tourniquet small fishing kit and some lighting like a headlamp and a uco candle lamp a ground barrier and maybe a hammock.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks for your recommendations and for watching!

[@natashaball316]

I would say this is a good kit. Have you thought about the grayl geopress with the steel nesting cup? You can avoid having to make a fire each time to boil water but with the cup still have that option. Also a small first aid kit would be ideal. Also a good baseplate compass would be ideal. but you do have a nice kit!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

In the hot moths I'll toss in a Katadyn be free. I've thought about getting the grayl nesting cup but it's a lot bulkier than this set. I've since added a small first aid kit. Thank you for watching!

[@69Nixter]

Nice kit mate!!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks! Thanks a lot for watching!

[@earlelzy9975]

I went on a short day hike with my dog today to try out a haversack I made. I also bought my Pathfinder water bottle kit. I set up a hammock and tarp, then made some coffee. I had pretty much everything you had minus the compass and head lamp. It was a fun experiment to see what I needed or didn't need. Thanks for your video. Keep doing this.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Awesome! Safe travels, man! 👍 Thanks a lot for watching. Really appreciate it. It's definitely very easy to take too much. Every time I have, the hike is not near as enjoyable.

[@monaangeloutdoors514]

Good video. Thank you!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! I'll be doing an overnighter with only this haversack soon. Stay tuned! 👍

[@corleyoutdoors2887]

Excellent presentation and kit!👍

Thanks, man!

[@jnasty_og1641]

Solid kit! Well thought out. Always curious on what people make their kids carry on the day hikes as well.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

That would be a good video. Might have to grab one of the kids' bags and go over it. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelmeyers4950]

Reasonable gear, informative video. Keep going!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that!

[@tennesseesmoky9012]

First, thank you for sharing the load out for your haversack kit. Seems to be built around the Five C’s of Survivability and well thought out. This kit should serve you well on any out and back adventure in the woods. I always carry my haversack kit anytime I step out into the woods, regardless of how long I plan on being gone. You just never know when your going to need that kit to help overcome a situation. - Tennessee Smoky

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I'm very thankful for Dave Canterbury and his teachings. I've seen so many tragic stories online of people who got lost or caught out overnight and ended up losing their life all because they didn't just have a few items on them. Definitely very important. Thanks for watching!

[@THEBLACKANARCHIST]

You can tell your inspiration's 😊

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I have a lot of influences from KZbin for sure! Learned a lot from certain individuals on the skills and love the style of video from others. Everything I know I've learned from books and KZbin. Mainly KZbin! 🙂 Thanks for watching!

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this informative video. I like the gear in your haversack. You're set for just about any emergency. The best to you and your family. Stay safe out there. 🤗

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. Best to you and yours as well. 👍

[@robertmiller9142]

I like the setup but you should have added first aid and also food or food procurement for just in case like a sling shot or snares or both or even a slingbow?

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Already added the first aid kit and did have some food in there. Snacks at least. When I go on an overnighter I'll add some dehydrated meals along with snacks. Thanks for watching!

[@NationlessNative]

Loved this video very simple yet effective I never new about the emergency shelter you mentioned, amazing, and it’s just enough to carry through the day, going to be reorganizing my items

I follow big bro finally a latino bushcrafters we need a bushcrafting community.

[@markcoraa]

Nice set up. I agree with adding a small first aid kit. I'd also add one maybe two baby wipe. Its indispensable for me, and weighs couple ounce. What do you use to sleep in, bag wise? Or maybe you don’t need one for this small kit.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Added in a small First aid kit. You just made a light go off in my head about the wipes as well. I will be tossing in a few of those. I actually have a bag of these tiny "add water towels". They're about the size of a quarter and when you add the water they expand into a biodegradable towel. Definitely need to remember that when I get home as I'm about to do overnighters with this haversack and my "heavy-duty haversack" I just put out a video on last night. You're right........ It's so nice to have something like that. Not just to wipe with, but for many things! Thanks for that! And thanks for watching!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I'm considering getting some kind of a small bivvy or wrapping a small thin wool blanket around the strap. I've never done an overnight with this small of a kit. I'm excited about it though. Any suggestions?

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Just added those in both haversacks 👍

[@pflugervillebushcraft8149]

Big fan of selfrelianceoutfitters they have some solid stuff, and have been watching Dave for over a decade now good solid stuff. Thanks for the video, I alway enjoy when people take their stuff outside and shoot a video.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Definitely some solid gear. Thanks a lot for watching! Been super busy lately, but I'm gonna be getting back into the videos very soon. ✌️

Nice…

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@gordontyree4308]

Nice kit and video! Well done sir! I would add a small trauma/FAK/boo boo kit with ACE elastic wrap. Also whistle/ signal mirror. I would add a few more food items also as well as a small fishing kit. I would ditch the Mylar blanket and add a SOL Heatsheet to replace the Mylar. You have a new sub also! Keep the vids coming!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks for watching and for the recommendations! In the process of moving at the moment and also busy with work. Hoping to get an overnight video up as soon as we get settled in the new place. Thanks for the sub! 👍✌️

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

Great kit man! Everything i got in my kit differnt brands tho, helikontex haversack, except i made my Mora knife 2000 blade deer antler handle i order them/make them and a mora eldris. I have a few more items,Also a ultra light hammock, I have a tiny tiny bottle, like the size of your thumb of hand sanitizer, which can work as a helper for fires as well, frezno lense for seeing and fire potential again, I also have a rapid deploy Ridgeline setup so if I have to use my (larger tarp) like you have there, I can set up a rapid deployment Ridgeline, I also carry a smaller Hatchet and more coffee hahaha godbless brother!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Awesome! I'm constantly fiddling with my different kits. I really enjoy trying new things and adding new things. Hand sanitizer would be a great idea. Thanks a lot for watching! God bless!

[@davef5916]

A bivy or a thermal reactor liner would probably be a good lightweight addition to sleep in, extra clothes or rain cover next go astray either. Here in Australia, a FAK is equivalent to carrying bear spray in certain areas, snakes and spiders are everywhere.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

The sleep situation is definitely something to contend with while trying to keep it as lightweight as possible. Going to be doing an overnighter with this haversack coming up soon and I'm thinking about adding a lightweight wool blanket to the strap. Do you have a bivy you would recommend for a small pack? Thanks for watching!

[@davef5916]

@@awayinthewilderness4319 I just bought a Jerven Fjellduken Hunter for my day pack but it’s probably too big to your purposes. Typically people carry SOL escapes, or snugpak sf bivys. 2 Thick bin liners 55 gallon can be great too, one for going in, one for stuffing as a mattress.

[@Ekinnajay]

Love the idea of a haversack but I need to balance a load due to shoulder issues. Loved how everything was compact and well thought out, especially the waxed canvas pouches. The only thing I think is missing is a first aid kit and maybe a poncho of some kind in case of rain or inclement weather (unless the shelter was also a poncho, haven't seen the other video yet). Just subscribed.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Thanks for watching! First aid kit has been added in since this video. I do have a good poncho, but it's quite a bit heavier than the T60 shelter. What's tough about putting together these minimal/lightweight kits is choosing what to leave out and what to add. You almost have to sacrifice in one area or another. Thanks for watching and for the recommendation! 👍

[@peterfreidel7721]

Nice kit for a day hike!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I've tried small rucksacks and stuff, but I like the haversack the best.

[@peterfreidel7721]

@@awayinthewilderness4319 I like the waist pack, over anything with just one strap. You can move it around to front, and get what ever you need!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I have a smell fanny pack of sorts. I like the ones that can go across your chest. Thanks for watching!

[@greyscout01]

I'm gonna call it a perfect setup; mainly because mine is filled identically. Although you did top me on one thing... I never heard of a Fatty Stick, but I'm definitely going to find some!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

They're phenomenal 😄! Thanks a lot for watching! Just finished editing my belt pouch video. Should be up tomorrow. Also gonna be doing a haversack overnighter using this kit in the next few days. Stay tuned! 👍

[@ellanvanninbushcraft8388]

Can I ask, where did you get the brass match tube from. Good pack you have there. Craig.🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I purchased mine on Amazon a few years ago. Not sure if they're on Amazon anymore. K & M matchcase is the name of them. They have a website. Great product! Thanks for watching! 👍

[@RHC78]

Great little kit. Maybe a basic first aid kit with some band aids and pain killers and a small SAK or multitool 👍🏽

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Put a small first aid kit back in already 👍. Thanks for watching and for the recommendation!

[@ralphnye664]

That E shelter sounds very interesting 😎

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

They're pretty cool! Super lightweight and packable. Also don't need to know any knots. The cordage is sown in on two corners. Thanks for watching!

I believe it's spelled Canterbury. He's definitely taught me a lot. Not sure about "fan boy". Thanks for watching!

[@oldsoldier181]

I have a similar setup. But, my backup knife and my saw, are simply a large SAK (no idea what model it is). Otherwise, mine is similar, but my water bottle is my Grayl.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Great choices! That's the beauty of putting together kits. It's about what works best for you. Thanks for watching, my friend. Be safe! 👍

[@danielcotts8673]

Maybe add a whistle for signaling. Really useful for finding youngsters who like to explore.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

The kids actually have their own whistles. I should throw one in some kits. I only keep one in my navigation kit. Probably would be a good idea to always have one around my neck or something. Thanks for watching!

[@alanrice39]

That’s a well put together kit, I really like doing the haversack better than a rucksack, what belt knife do you use?

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I use several different ones. Main ones would be the PKS Mountain Lion and Mora Garberg. Thanks for watching!

[@michaelmeyers4950]

And some pain killers.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I do have some now as I did take some advice and added back in my small medical tin!

[@paulglucina1184]

Nice loadout, you have some great gear. Any idea where you can get that oilskin haversack?

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Self Reliance Outfitters. Thanks! I realized pretty early on in this that it's better to buy once and cry once as opposed to buy cheap. The cheap stuff just doesn't last. I've accumulated some good stuff over these last few years. Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch!

[@user-gn5uy6lx7z]

If you are planning on a hike or other outdoor activities, PLEASE make a Trama Kit. You might walk up on a group of people, and one, or more, has severe lacerations, puncture wounds, and / or gunshot wounds. This is my basic Trama Kit: X2 Isreal Bandages X2 Ratcheting Tourniquet X2 Bleedstop X2 Sterile Surgical Gauze for packaging of wounds X2 Chest Seal X2 Venelated Chest Seal X1 Tube of Tripple Anti -B X2 Mylar Blankets X1 Headlamp X2 Penlight X1 Sterile Surgical Blades X2 Medical gloves X1 Medical Sizzers X1 Knife X2 Tweezers ( different sizes) X1 Mirror X1 Magnifying Glass X6 Tylenol X2 High Carbohydrates drink mix All this fits into a 7in x 4in x 3in mollie bag system. It weighs practically nothing and could save someone's life if not your life.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Great advice! Thanks for watching!

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I do have a lot of this stuff, but I'll admit I definitely need to get some hands on training with these things. A lot of this stuff I've only researched how to use online. This is another area that I really would like to spend more time on and get the proper training.

[@gordontyree4308]

Uh, this haversack kit is intended for day hikes! You will not be in a combat zone! Just my opinion….I’m not criticizing, I just feel that’s way too much trauma gear for a day hike. On my day hikes I carry a SWAT-T, small z-fold quick clot, two pair nitrile gloves, 4 inch IBD, a Laerdal CPR mask and a small boo boo kit. After many hikes, I have only used the boo boo kit a few times for minor injuries. I also carry a 3 inch ACE wrap for strains/ sprains, etc. In Addition, i also carry a medication pack with basic emergency meds. Just my two cents! Thanks!

[@johnhebert3855]

You got to get a poncho of some sort in there.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I've thought about that. To just use it as the shelter element. I opted to use the T60 as it's more lightweight and my poncho kinda goes in and out of other packs as well. Definitely a good idea. Maybe I'll get another at some point. Thanks for the feedback.

[@johnacord6224]

That's almost an overnight bag, for 1 person, who knows what will happen

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

One of my next videos is actually going to be an overnight with that haversack. Probably gonna add a water filter and possibly wrap a small blanket around the strap. Thanks for watching!

[@Keith-do2jm]

First aid kit ?

To each his own. I personally think a haversack is very comfortable if it's not too heavy. 5habks a lot for watching! 👍

[@TheDavewatts]

​@@awayinthewilderness4319no sweaty back with a Haversack.😁👍🏻

[@stevencunningham4680]

That's a well thought out "Wannabe a Bushcrafter kit" ! All that gear looks brand new , your bottle has never seen fire nor have the orange stakes been driven into the ground. Has the Mora ever been out of the sheath ? Is this an advertisement for Pathfinder gear ? Get out there and do the dirt work and actually use the gear.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

You might have missed when I said some of that gear in that haversack is mainly for emergency purposes. My prior video I did use some of it in a simple overnight video. Including the red stakes getting driven into the ground and the nesting cup going in the fire. I definitely would like to get more dirt time in though. Kinda hard sometimes with a big family and other responsibilities and obligations. Have a haversack trip planned at some point in the near future. I'll be putting some more of these items to use. Take care.
