This video was filmed over a two night outing. It features some kit that you haven't seen, so it's new to you, although I've had some of it for some time now.
I upgraded some months ago from the Frost River Isle Royale Jr to the Boreal Bushcraft rucksack by Skogsvana.
Don't get me wrong, I love the Frost River, but it doesn't carry well.
The Boreal I got has a lumbar support pad, a back pad in a sleeve (doubles as a sit pad, knee pad, ground barrier), and the hood has a zipper so things don't slide out as with the Frost River.
The pack is loaded with features and has module attachments.
The Filson Guide Henley sweater was recommended to me by the Filson team. After the recommendation I found a KZbin video where Nathan from Northwest Resilience (an Alone contestant)
who stated it was "the nicest sweater in the universe" and that he is in love with it. He wore the entire time he was on the show out in the wilderness and it never let him down.
It's a chunky beast, and it's designed for shooting, however, the waxed padded shoulder, and wax canvas sleeves were attractive to me because I normally carry large logs on my shoulder, or just various sizes of branches that get snagged, so this smooth water resistant surface is a perfect fit for me. It is super warm and durable. Something I will have for life, however, it is outrageously expensive, yet has the quality the to back it up.
Since this is only the first day of three (I will release more footage), you will certainly get to see more of the pack and its features.
I didn't mention the iconic Hudson Bay 6 point blanket I've had for months.
The Barbour Bedale jacket I've had for years and recently re-waxed it.
The wool Varmland Fjallraven trousers I've had since last year (if you notice I usually wear knee pads).
The Hat is new as well, I just don't wish to wear out my other one you've seen so many times.
And of course, last but not least, The Ray Mears Woodlore Pro knife by Emberleaf workshops. I will do a video featuring it in future. A sort of soft opening for a legendary knife.
Please don't mind the Backpackers Pantry meal. I usually bring one as an emergency ration, if I'm too tired or don't have time to cook. They can really get you out of a jam.
The following day after setup is usually when I'm settled in and can prepare a nice fresh meal.
Stay tuned for the rest of this adventure.
Cheers,
Càrn
