Evening Harry. Nice one. Ruck on 💪💪🔥

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks bud, same to you. 👍

[@WyeExplorer]

Ah, straight off the bat Harry 'eye protection' for them nasty pine branches. That's a nice bit of kit. Gotta say I do like my Mark 2 Crusader - they are sturdy stoves. Thanks for sharing. A great unload. Mark

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Mark, yes, I also like the m2 stove but have a serious love for the solid profile of the mark 1 also which fits into mist pouches. Atb Harry

[@WyeExplorer]

@@FlyingHaggisFilms That comes as no surprise Harry. I m ay have to give the Mk 1 a go.

[@peterhall5458]

Well organised I see better than me nice to see you Harry

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Peter. Take care. Harry

[@GillianSmith]

Good video Harry, well thought out NI Pack loadout there 👍

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Gillian, athough not quite ready to play at soldier yet, nevertheless a recy might be done some day soon I hope. Hope you are well and keeping active. Atb Harry

[@Helen-and-Katarin-Juska-law]

Interesting selection which will cope well with Northern weather. Hope you are well. Helen, Kat, Terri and Robyn.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Helen and girls, nice comment as ever. Longing to get out to do a Bergman Alaska style scouting day, life and occupation and lack of mojo is always in the way 🤣🤣🤣 so ill remain a fantasist for just a little longer until the ground dries and freezes. Hope your all well and living good and full lives. Take care. Harry n Helen. X

[@joeselsbeth]

well organised Harry. Great stuff 👍🏻👍🏻 thanks for your video and inspiration

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thank you back for your generouse comment. 👍

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks for that. Appriciated 😅

[@vi0205]

Nice to see you again Harry! Very well packed. I'm now looking forward to Saturday, when I'll go on a moorland hike and with a bit of luck, there'll also be some snow. At the moment it is very stormy and it is raining. Many kind regards from the north of Germany Viola

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Viola for such nice comments. Hope you do get out soon and enjoy some u time in the wild, its always good for the human spirit to rewilde and connect with the terrain. Stay well and safe. Harry.

Afternoon Harry how you doing..nice little show & tell there from your NI patrol pack ... Looking at your tarp/basha you just reminded me I need to get some of those bunggy things with the hooks ...thanks for sharing stay safe ATB...Sam 👍

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks bud, we never have enough para and bungies. 👍

[@deeps2761]

Have you tried the ones with 'balls' (if you excuse the expression), you can get them pretty cheap, designed to go through eyelets but I just loop them round the tie outs, you can get them pretty cheap from the usual sources.

[@Yorkshireoutoorsandsurvival]

@@deeps2761 no I haven't.can I get them on eBay

[@deeps2761]

@@Yorkshireoutoorsandsurvival Yes mate, ebay, temu etc have them cheap, great for pulling your tarp tight when pegging them in. I kind of ignore the wee balls. They're much smaller than the 'bungies' you mentioned which have their place, especially if its blowy they can give a bit of stretch in a line supporting tarps. Sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs.

[@fleotusbing]

Thanks for sharing what you carry, Harry! It's always interesting to see what folk prioritize. I carry a ridiculously heavy load, but I like my 'creature comforts.'

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Ha ha the only additional luxury for me would be a naughty cigar and a small bottle of Jim Bean Whisky 😉

[@deeps2761]

I'm the same whether its a wee trip to the woods or a wander up the hills to a bothy, I'd rather go slower and take in those little luxuries like good scran and booze. Whatever works for us though eh ?

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

@@deeps2761 so true, each day is important and unique. Atb Harry

[@fleotusbing]

​@@deeps2761yes indeedy, whatever works! Hope this finds you well!

[@Wickedgame310]

Thanks for the video. It was informative.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks for watching and commenting. 😊

[@Kababoes]

G'day Harry, it's always interesting to see what other people carry, and in some cases I get inspired to customize my own gear. I agree with the importance of storing things in a specific place so you can reach them blindly. Tfs, CU Hans.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Hi Hans. A person of your experience I expect will have everything in correct place and priority. Hope you are well and are getting out a little and generating some fun now the election is over. 🤐

[@Kababoes]

@@FlyingHaggisFilms Staying organized in a barrel is quite a challenge😅 Elections ...., not my cuppa tea mate (but have used my rights). Better to spend time in having fun. Perhaps I'll make a similar vid of how I try to stay organized on my canoe trips. Hmmm, I think you've inspired me. Tks Harry!

[@ianwatson6531]

Having spent 24 years in the British army I do appreciate the value of military kit but people should always remember that squadies only use bits and bobs of the kit they are issued, if they have a choice. People need to consider that 'military grade' just means the cheapest that that the government could get that just about does the job. Most soldiers supplement their kit with nicer, lightweight 'gucci' gear. That being said, the NI pack is a nice bit of kit.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks Ian, a fair comment. As a civillian with army connections I too have come to realise the validity of all you say. Personally, whilst aware of the weighty and non practicality of some military kit I do love the robust and durable quality surplus offers. All the very best to you. Harry

[@pnyarrow]

Hi mHarry. Thank you for that information. Looks a lot like mine. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Ha ha ha at least there is some unity left in the world.

[@neil_castell]

all tried and tested kit, ... looks like a good patrol pack for days out, my only advice ... would be to put in a high vis waterproof pack cover, Or a bright dry bag you could use as a signal marker just in case you sustained a leg injury out in the wilds, (or if you encountered anybody needing help and wanted to mark their position for search are rescue)

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Good advice, when I am sneaking about I aim to be invisible and carry my emergency phone, location share with my wife, but on a three day spring outing I would take my Hi viz patch. Atb. Harry

[@markwalker4485]

I use something similar but mine was “found” and was from the SBS but I unzip the side pouches most of the time unless I want to do more than a 72 hour travel

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Good on you Mark, it's great to use old kit again and again. Harry

[@bushcraftpiper]

Hi Harry I like the pack which you carry your water proofs in. Where can one find that!!! Regards Brian I think ill start getting my NI pack out again!!!

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

I was lucky to receive it as a gift, I understand that they are difficult to find and wouldn't know where to start.

[@ELUSIVEDARTMOORSURVIVAL]

hi just subscribed my family served too i’m a new channel based on dartmoor i do survival camping and tracking take care 😁🤟🤟

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

@@ELUSIVEDARTMOORSURVIVAL Thanks for that. Will check our your channel. Atb Harry

[@user-pi1bs1ey2l]

Hello, love the video. Can you tell me what pouch you have attached to the front of the patrol pack please.

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Goid morning. Yes, the pouch is a surplus: 'medical pouch' dpm, a triky and rare find. Try any military surplus on line or eaby. Goid luck 👍. Harry

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Found a multi cam medical one on eaby for £15 but hard to find dpm.

[@user-pi1bs1ey2l]

Thanks Harry I appreciate your swift reply. Look forward to your next video 👍

[@seatroutking7555]

Ya forgot the bog roll for when the 💩 hit the fan around crossmaglen 😉

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Ha ha...thank you for bring this to my attention, although I carry wipes in my first aid pack. 😆😆😆

[@Hew.Jarsol]

The NI patrol pack is tried and tested, and built to last! Unlike MTP etc.

[@antonybuckley2645]

Nice video .may I ask what size is the ni pack I have one and was told 38 but it seems bigger .what is the extra pocket on the back ? Di you strap sleeping bag to bottom

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

@@antonybuckley2645 Hi Antony, yes I understand the NI to be 35 litres approx, used it for 3 day patrol pack with light summer sleep bag, bivi , tarp and inflatable small mat stuffed into centre, food kit rations in side, waterproofs head gear gloves in lid, weighed in at 12kl, strapping a winter bag underneath would make it too heavy I imagine, 15kl straps not designed for such weight. Hard on shoulders. I’d use my 120 litre Bergen for non summer kit. Extra pocket on back medical pouch hard to find. Harry

[@34outdoor]

Hello Harry new sub here o/ i think that's a great little pack, from what year is it? i got a 2007 one Thanks for the video, atb

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Thanks for subbing, subd back. The pack I think is 90s ill have to duig it out and check. Just ordered a 1945 ww2 mess tin. Can't wait to show and use it in the field. Harry

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

Having looked at its lid, 03 61 is the only number that remotely looks like an issue date, I would like to know. H.

[@xix94]

Will this fit snugpak softie elite 3

[@FlyingHaggisFilms]

@@xix94 probably unlikely bud. I can only squeeze summer bag, taro and bivi then rstions in side pouches at a push for its really a day patrol pack. I've wondered about a big sleep bag strapped underneath but that's pushing it. The vukingbpatril pack might just work but REALLY, A BERGEN IS NEDED FOR ALL SEASON KIT I GUESS.
