PNWBushcraft Present: What I carry in my Haversack

[@jackm4700]

I watch a lot of Bush Craft videos. Most are repetitive . You had some different things in your bag. I like getting new ideas. THX.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello my friend, thanks for sharing your fine video. You have a well organized haversack. Be safe out there. 🤗

[@TheScoundrel70]

Really looking forward to a video on the ground cloth and all its uses and configurations!

[@marodriguezsr]

I totally agree with you sir in regards to the weight. I go very heavy on my equipment because I choose to take what I want to take. That is some really nice gear, take care & keep enjoying the great out of doors. - Marco

[@PnwBushcraftShop]

Thank you so much

[@grendle81]

Your coffee kit is genius! Couple years ago I was watching a video by an former SAS soldier who kept in his BOB/go bag/inch bag, a 'brew kit'. I always thought that was a brilliant idea and ever since then I've carried a coffee/tea/chicken broth kit. Good video, subbed.

Very nice haversack, but too big for one shoulder carry for me. It would get too heavy in no time. I carry a much smaller one that limits its weight by its size. A good ruck for the other stuff, and the possibles bag work together. My birthday is coming, and I'll be getting one of those fine ground cloths. Looking forward to it.

[@carhard_oldmachine5333]

it was enough for me once with such a bag to understand that it does not suit me because of the strap being inserted. The shoulder presses very quickly Although this option of minimalism is a pleasure

[@PnwBushcraftShop]

Thank you for watching

[@camojoe83]

I'm really liking those tobacco pouches.. That size of bag is too big for a haversack for me, personally. I like the size, it fits the purpose great, but I'd have that size of a small rucksack instead of a shoulder bag. For use in the woods, that is.. I could definitely find another way to use that just because I'm a nylon and canvas fiend.

[@PnwBushcraftShop]

We enjoy having different bags for different purposes but it is always nice to be able to make gear for what we decide to carry.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

I prefer a larger Haversack. I find it more versatile. Some light gear takes up space, and I can also choose not to fill a larger bag all the way whereas the reverse isn’t true - can’t continue to fill a small bag that is full. Just my preference I guess.

[@ukpiktonraq7451]

Cool haversack, looks sort of like the one, I have you folks making for me. With the exception of my outer pockets and sleeves. Looked good though. The ground cloth you showed, should be the same as what was shipped to me today

[@samadler9253]

Grammar Nazi!!

If your haversack strap digs into your shoulder, you have way too much stuff in it. You need a smaller haversack and a backpack. One of the reasons most haversacks don't have the panel you put in yours is to stop people from treating it like a backpack. or a knapsack. A haversack is not a substitute for a backpack or a knapsack, it's an addition to a backpack or knapsack. If you need enough gear that a standard strap can hold without digging in, you need to add a backpack to you carry. They learned this lesson in the Civil War, and thereafter stopped adding panels. Well, until WWII when they had to learn it all over again. There used to be a rule about the size of haversack where you stopped adding panels. I can't find the rule now, but it was tiny. I do know that if all your gear won't fit in a space 12X12X4, you need a backpack or a knapsack, not a haversack. You have several things in your haversack that belong in a backpack. You're actually using your haversack as a backpack. That's fine, if you want to do that, but most don't, and it completely defeats the reason haversacks exist. It's also why the strap bites into your shoulder. At the very least, the hatchet, the water bottle, and the ground cloth should not be in there. I guess it's largely personal philosophy, but discounting food, sleeping bag, and tent, you have more gear in your haversack than I carry in a backpack for a two week's stay in the wild. Worse, you aren't just using your haversack as a substitute for a backpack or knapsack, you have items in it that should always be on your person, either on your belt, or on a belt, such as a pistol belt, or in your pockets. You always have to worry about what you have left if you lose the bag, or have it stolen. Both happen all too often, even in the wilderness. I have a shoulder bag that looks remarkably like yours. I carried it three or four times, but never again. It's too heavy, and far worse, too bulky. Worse still, completely unnecessary. I love haversacks, but I quickly learned I didn't have a haversack, I had a knapsack that was missing a strap. You agould always shrink your gear to fit your haversack, not expand your havesack to fit your gear.

[@Eric-ew8jt]

Well said

[@richhoule3462]

Yes, he has way too much shit in there

[@margaretadler6162]

I think that's a matter of personal preference, so don't judge, and besides you don't have to carry it James!

[@SgtRet]

Thanks for the explanation, Todd.

[@natedog4278]

Same here none of my friends can hang with me In the woods!

[@kvk1962]

[@PnwBushcraftShop]

[@johnwalker91]

Do you make the haversack to sell stay safe

[@PnwBushcraftShop]

We do not have a final version for sale yet but keep an eye out. Thanks for watching

[@mikkeljylland9153]

5:16 Machete?

[@grendle81]

You wouldn't see too much use for a machete up here in the PNW, too limited of use. Axes & hatchets maybe.

[@mikkeljylland9153]

@@grendle81 I learned to use a machete in Cuba. But I live in Scandinavia and I think it is just a cultural bias. With a machete you can do everthing you can do with a knife, a folding saw and a hatchet. But of course it cannot replace a big forest axe.

[@NatesOutdoors]
