Springtime Haversack Loadout for Simple Overnight Camping Trips (Modern Gear)

This is a haversack that I would use during the spring and summer months. Though this kit is lightweight, it still covers all the bases for a simple and quick overnighter.
A lot of people (myself included) have a tendency to take more than they need if there is extra room in a pack. The good thing about a haversack is that the size requires you to be intentional about what you bring.
If you have not tried a haversack before, I would highly recommend that you do. Below is a list of haversack videos I've made. maybe they'll give you some ideas.

Slapping your bag is part of being an outdoorsman!😂😂😂

😄✌️👍 It must be, cuz I'm not the only one I see doing it. Lol...... Once my wife pointed it out to me, I can't unsee it. I notice everyone doing it now.

Pretty sure it is! I do the same!

[@pennsyltuckyreb9800]

A lot of guys love the winter bushcraft scene.... I get it. Not as sweaty. No ticks, skeeters, and other bugs. "Pretty" snow scapes.... I'm the exact opposite, though. I loathe winter. Spring, Summer, and Fall is my scene. If I never went through another northern winter again I'd be perfectly fine with that lol

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

It might be different if I went through the northern winters 😄. In my area they're not that bad. For me it's the bugs. That's what really makes me loathe camping in the warmer weather. Thanks a lot for watching!

I carry a small N.T. Bible. When bored, can't sleep, or times of big trouble, it calms fear and keeps my mind where it should be. I pat 'Alice' (my ruck) every time I pass by her; just to let her know she's on my mind. Thanks for the nice video.

For that zippered pocket Walmart sells thin flexible cutting boards for just a couple bucks. They can be trimmed with scissors to fit. Makes a bag stiffener. Use it for food prep. Use it for a seat when everything is wet. A hole in one corner and you can hang it as a marker if using the bright colored ones. Use it to fan your fire.

Consider just stuffing your sleeping bag in the haver sack and the same with the tarp but use a tshirt bag for the tarp incase it's wet. Saves time and eliminates memory creases. Nice setup Brother!

A non "gusseted" pocket is useless and adds no space to whatever it is sewn into, About the only thing I can think they are good for is a map or something thinly folded like a handkerchief.

I agree. I've noticed if you put anything bigger than what you just said, all it does is create problems in the other area of the bag. Thanks a lot for watching! ✌️

Why a haversack rather than a compact backpack? I can see a few small benefits, but curious what others think.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

@@LowcountryMan I would actually prefer one over this particular haversack if I was actually hiking. This one is far too bulky for long hikes. Thanks for the question!

[@miken7629]

A sling bag is OK as long as weight is less than 10 pounds, yeah I can pack more weight in a bag and attach all kinds of stuff to the outside, but why, anymore than 10 pounds just get a backpack.

Check out my sling bag video. Mine is definitely less than 10 pounds. I've been carrying it every day for about a year now

[@richardhenry1969]

I really don't understand this haversack phase. It just seems like a not very comfortable way to carry gear. Ive seen guys use bags they owned to go camping. I just don't understand why anyone would choose a little bag over a small backpack. The price of hidden woodsman would have my wife murder me. I have a 27liter condor backpack. I got that because molle straps i can make my pack go from overnight to a 3day or more. I can understand a haversack for a day hike but overnight is really not making sense to me. But lots of stuff lately i don't get. Like ultra light backpackers. Very nice bag just not my jam i guess.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

@@richardhenry1969 it's not uncomfortable at all, in my opinion. With this one in particular, I wouldn't be hiking in any long distance. The smaller haversacks that I use are for day hike situations and are very light. I've camped in those just to see how the night would go if you had to stay overnight.

One thing you omit that no true woodsman would forget is a First Aid Kit. Why is that?

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

@@jeffheigl1850 I disagree that no "true woodsmen" would leave that out. There are teachers that I know who don't always carry a designated fak in their pack. Certain things can be improvised. I do carry one in most packs. This specific pack is more of a close to the car kit as I stated in the video, so I just didn't think it was absolutely necessary. I understand that some will disagree with that and that's ok. Thanks a lot for watching. 👍✌️

[@jeffheigl1850]

@@awayinthewilderness4319 Teachers? Let me give you my bona fides... My first back packing trip was into the the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Dad carried the camp, Ma carried me. That was 71 years ago. My Grandfather (b, 1878 d. 1978) hunted and trapped the Georgian bay region of Quebec and Ontario before becoming a hunting and fishing guide of notables including Dwight Eisenhower, and Norman Maclean (who became a lifelong friend)' and others. These Men were Woodsmen, not 'teachers'. They logged in the days of the misery whip.. My Brother, who photographed for Nat Geo in places most dream about before passing, said it best...."Give someone a camera, dress him in the right clothes, and use words like 'bush', and 'survival' and they become experts." THESE are the people that gave me more Wisdom than some self proclaimed 'teacher'. Myself? I daresay I've logged more miles afoot and afloat than most of these youtubers, That can make a spark with a bow and drill, and talk about being prepared for 'what if?' Yeah 'what if you get injured? But I digress. One of the un-intended but vital lessons that they instilled in me was being prepared for the inevitable. I saw first hand wounds from cutting instruments, fishhooks, broken bones, and sprains. These Men were prepared for it. Improvisation is for the un-prepared.

[@jeffheigl1850]

@@awayinthewilderness4319 Teachers??? Let me give you my bona fides.... My first overnight backpacking trip was 70 years ago, into the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Dad carried the camp and Mom carried me. My paternal Grandfather (b. 1878 d. 1978) Was a hunter and trapper throughout northern Manitoba and Ontario. When He 'retired', He became a guide in Northern Wisconsin and the UP of Michigan. Among the notables he fished with were Dwight Eisenhower, Norman Maclean, and Ted Trueblood. My Grandmother was Metis with all the knowledge of Her fore bears. These were my inspiration and my mentors. Now, between hunting, fishing, and general camp chores, I saw many times where blisters, cuts, even a broken bone (mine). Each and every time a First Aid Kit was used, not some improvisation. I've backpacked on the North Country Trail, Isle Royale, and Parts of the Continental Divide Trail, I've canoed the Boundary Waters and the Quetico. Several rivers. The Goulais, the Spanish, and the French. Many, many times I've treated injuries of others simply because they though they didn't need a First Aid Kit. Stomach issues are a big one, along with burns, splinters, cuts, and sprains. So let me ask you this... Why in the world would a 'teacher' not teach preparedness and be an example? Or is all that talk about being prepared just talk? So don't confuse the majority of KZbinrs with actual Woodsmen. Most have never gotten further than a 40 from a paved road, but they can use a Bow and drill, and hang a tarp.

[@longrider42]

I have the Stanley cook kit, and its okay, but a tad small. You can cook ramen in it, but you have to break up the noodles. As for that life straw, do not trust it. It will not filter out viruses, or petrochemicals. So take some Potable Aqua water purification tablets, and yes I do boil water. But at the Altitude I live at 6000 feet above sea level. Water boils at only 200 degree's. I am going to invest in a three stage water filtration pump type system. A bit on the heavier side, but clean water is what you need.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

I figured I would have to break up the noodles, but I'm just curious to see it's capabilities. I like that it has the cups with it. Viruses shouldn't be an issue I'm my area. I'll have to look more into it. Wouldn't be huge deal to toss in some purification tablets, I guess. I'd love to get one of those pumps as well. I've seen people online use them. Especially for bigger groups. Clean water is definitely what you need 👍. Thanks for the advice and thanks for watching! ✌️
