The Hidden Woodsmen Haversack Review -Junkyard Fox

[@JunkyardFox]

hey guys, be sure to check out a new haversack design by the hidden woodsmen review we made right here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKnblquPfNxjnqM

[@hautala88]

Your background music makes me want to watch a western... I dig it.

[@wayneburbage8900]

Wonderful kit. I see a lot of elements of the WW2 pack in the design. One of which the axe handle is fed through. Was for folding trench tool. Way cool.

[@rolandsilva9743]

Malcom is a great guy and an incredible craftsman. He makes a ton of very well thought out and practical items. Great video. Thanks

[@Cypress324]

These are the types of videos that makes you stand out from other KZbin creators. Very enjoyable to watch. Thumbs up for sure...

[@JunkyardFox]

thank ye so much, i appreciate all your kindness and support. happy holidays, brother.

[@johnanderson2217]

You had a map of Texas assumed you from Texas. If I had waited to the end of the video ,I would have realized you're from New Mexico. Best Mexican food in the world. True art form. Thank you for the video.

[@RavenRedwood]

I live in New Mexico so I really like your videos. This inspired me to get a haversack (old army issue but I can easily add buckles and sew in compartments. it has a rubberized waterproof liner though which is cool) and it's a great day bag and light weight to carry in my pack. Although I prefer to weave my molle. I have a pouch and canteen and they are much more comfortable when walking to have them secure instead of hanging.

[@JunkyardFox]

nice! a lot of the old army issue equipment is great stuff, especially if modified to suit your needs and likes.

[@Primitivebearknives]

That first 1 min of this makes an amazing ad for this haversack. Immediately I had gotten interested in it after the first min

[@markhudson1477]

I love your videos. Bushcrafting in the desert southwest is needed info. I am 65 miles outside Las Vegas and really like your vids. Thanks.

[@JunkyardFox]

ive never seen any desert cushcraft vids from nevada, wonder how similar it is to texas

[@markhudson1477]

I don't know, but keep putting out your videos. I will take what info I can get.

[@hiddendesertbushcraft2511]

I am out here in Vegas. I have also lived in the area Junkyard fox is in this video. I can tell both of you it is very different. I have been doing bushcraft out here in the Vegas area. But I find myself going to the higher elevation due to the heat. I agree its nicecto some desert guys out there.

[@ClintHollingsworth]

As a haversack guy myself, I enjoyed your video very much. Thanks!

[@JunkyardFox]

im glad you enjoyed it my friend!

[@garland978]

I like that bag and how you have modified its use. It is always good to see you in New Mexico enjoying the desert and its beauty. Have a Merry Christmas and see you next year. Thank you James.

[@JunkyardFox]

have a good one, garland, i appreciate all your support and encouragment. happy holidays, brother.

[@davidgonyeau1825]

Good video. I think your haversack is the best I've seen in a long time. Not too big, not too small, it's just right. I look forward to your next video. Keep up the good work.

[@JunkyardFox]

thansk for watching, this bag is absolutely bulletproof.

[@davidbarclay3651]

I love mine too. Thanks for sharing. I added the roll up water bag from Condor, it added additional carrying without bulk.

[@davidbeal8054]

I have been camping and bivouacking since I was in the Cub Scouts, and I have owned and used many haversacks over the years. Many. The Hidden Woodsmen version is certainly one of the very best I haver ever used. right now, it is the one I most frequently use. I don't think you can go wrong. Very well built. Nice video.

[@Johonavich49]

That is awesome the amount of useful things you can carry in that bag. Thank you for making this video! This was very helpful. Question, why is this video from 2016? Were are your newer videos? I really enjoy watching!

[@JunkyardFox]

Joseph Flake thanks glad you like our content. We put out a new video every week. Be sure to click on our profile and click on the videos section

[@unitytira4954]

Thank you so much for this video, it helps me setup my haversack. I appreciate your kind way of presenting your topic(s). It is an encouragement it builds friendship, keep it up my friend. I’ll keeping following your Chanel. Blessings! From the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@zakbdz]

I always admire the beauty in your videos. I also love your personality, makes the video so much more entertaining. I am mostly here for the knife reviews but I love outdoorsy things too. Wishing you the best for the new year, take care.

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks so much, i appreciate the kind words, im glad ye enjoy our content. happy holidays, brother.

[@frankwebster1033]

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year....

[@brianwofford3831]

I enjoyed your video. I have been trying out a haversack and a small messenger bag as alternatives to day packs on short hikes. Your video gave me some good information and perspective on what I am doing. I am located in the middle Tennessee area. Thanks for the informative video.

[@garygill7960]

Great review and presentation. Thank you for sharing.

[@evoneEVOLUTION]

your cinematography is on point, i like that you bring more of an artistic side to these kinds of videos. and the music adds to the overall feel of the video as well

[@JunkyardFox]

thank you so much, that means a lot to me. glad you enjoy our work, thanks for watching.

[@rickc4317]

Very well done review, James. Great scenery, music and showing how the haversack can be used in the real world. I think the only thing people might be wondering about is an approximate price point. I think your handle idea is an excellent one!

[@JunkyardFox]

damn i forgot to mention that. as of right now, the haversack is being sold 65 to 95 bucks depending on the color or pattern.

[@jjmireles66]

Very nice haversack. Merry Christmas James and I'm looking forward to more of your videos.

[@JunkyardFox]

merry christmas john!

[@SurvivoTek]

Awesome review, man! I love my haversack too, almost a year old and still like new!

[@JunkyardFox]

making this review made me realize how much i love hidden woodsmen equipment, gonna get me some new stuff soon.

[@lolosunshine2756]

Great videos and enjoy the heck out of them. I know you are doing "how to videos" so I was wondering where you carry TP for the makeshift toilet. Will you be doing an informative short blip on useful ways to hit the john for us city slickers. Without getting "your boots dirty". LOL, but in all seriousness inquiring minds want to know.

[@johnkania6888]

I have the same haversack in the same color. Great bag. Great review. Thanks for the video.

[@JunkyardFox]

riight?! its awesome. maybe in time, ill buy the ranger green one just because thats my favorite color lol

[@ALWhiteAuthor]

Great way to end the year, James. Excellent review, as always. Merry Christmas and God bless to you and yours, my friend.

[@KowboyUSA]

Merry Christmas, AZ.

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks so much, we had a lot of fun filming this one. happy holidays, brother.

[@charlesloveday9208]

Junkyard Fox...all of Ur reviews r excellent & really appreciate how well U go into details. Good to see this because it really does come n handy making decisions on what I need. Hope that U & Urs have a Merry Christmas & safe- Happy New Year! Looking forward to some more outdoor videos...not just reviews. Everyone needs to remember Bob Hansler n their prayers.

[@polecatfan1627]

You should add a little anti - venom because snakes

[@rainbowhiker]

I'd put the shamog draped under the top flap of the bag to keep it out of the dirt but still handy. Good system you have there.

[@michaellaird9262]

another great video. hope you guys have a Merry Christmas.

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks so much, happy holidays, brother!

[@davidbarclay3651]

Malcolm heard you. He added a lifting handle on top. I have two of these bags, one set for the back country, and the other for city travels. Great for summer when you need less gear and don't want a sweaty back.

[@JunkyardFox]

i just reviewd the updated haversack on my latest video. be sure to go check that review out

[@jlen82]

A Case Knife! You get extra points for that James. Nice set up brother

[@JunkyardFox]

not a fan of pocketknives but if i had to, gotta go old school lol

[@IrishZombieNation]

Wonderful video brother. Really showed the diversity of the bag and how great the quality is, all while seeing a serene backdrop and listening to awesome music. Keep it up my friend.

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks so much leo! my first 2017 video will be an outdoor arena review. happy holidays, brother.

[@Savage_OnesX]

Always wondered, where did you get the grill that you always carry from? Been looking for something like that for my pack.

[@joeyvazquez2394]

You've managed to bring out the romance of the desert...once again! Great job buddy. Happy holidays and look forward to seeing more videos in 2017.

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks so much, i love the first few minutes of this video. well have plenty more desert adventures coming soon

[@haroldmiller6853]

good review I also like a haver sack for small trips or single overnights ya got the 5c covered well enjoy the holidays see ya next year

[@cocovasquez1]

great vid James, Happy Holidays. I always felt I'm not a true woodsmen or bushcrafter if I didn't have Malcoms haversack. I love it and I don't leave home without it. thanks for the ideas. We need to get together this coming new year. God bless my friend.

[@JunkyardFox]

glad you like the video, hidden woodsmen gear is top notch quality plus its beautiful work. i agree my firend. sorry it took so long to reply.

[@GoodPhotos]

Wonderful review. I just traded some gear for an older version of one of Malcom's Haversacks on BushCraftUSA and can't wait to get it. I also am enjoying the rest of your channel! I was stationed at White Sands Missile Range back in the 80s when I was enlisted Army and was one of the Scout Masters and Explorer Leaders on post. We got the kids out to the Needles as often as we could. Can't say that I miss the desert at all (I don't do well at 112˚F no matter how 'dry' the heat, and I vastly prefer the same boreal forests here in New England that Malcom designs his gear in) but it was always a good adventure and it is good to see someone enjoying it as well as you seem to.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

I got a forest green one a few months back and love mine.

[@JunkyardFox]

dude ive been tempted to buy a ranger green one, love that color.

[@gbro1988]

the view is magnificent

[@landsurfer66]

Thanks man. I think I'll get the one in ranger green... once they're back in stock.

[@JunkyardFox]

dude the ranger green! im so tempted to buy one too just because thats my favorite color.

[@johnfuller6338]

great video on great gear by a great guy, today our high temp was 4 degrees, with wind chill, minus 20, can you send some of your weather up here to the northeast.

[@brianjenkins5591]

Aloha James and this video was just Great along with the scenery makes me remember why I like this channel so much!!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your Family and can not wait to see what you have in store for us in 2017.

[@JunkyardFox]

thansk so much brian! got a lot of fun, educational content coming this year!

[@AZTLANSOLDIER13]

Beautiful country. Great vid

[@sigurdsigurdson9515]

Thank you for reviewing the bag and your gear. It seems to me that some items are superfluous. There is little food, and it’s probably worth taking more water in the desert. Unless, of course, there are not enough sources of it on the route. Tell me, how comfortable is it for your shoulder to carry a full bag all day? I understand that everyone chooses for themselves. It’s just that I’m used to a standard backpack, although I won’t refuse a medium-sized bag to go to the radial exits from the camp. Thanks

[@abeazar]

Rat traps are a great idea. Never would have thought of that. Great video...Abe Azar

[@JunkyardFox]

oh yeah, rattraps are worht their weight in gold: cheap, lightweight, reliable. happy holidays, abe.

[@wicked1z]

don't know if this has been asked yet, but have you considered getting "Malice clips" to better secure your ALICE canteen holder to the PALS/MOLLE?

[@JunkyardFox]

ive never heard of malice clips, ill look into them, thanks for the heads up!

[@JamesPattersonME]

Great review and happy new year!

[@JunkyardFox]

same to you james! hope all is well!

[@edvickers8063]

Dude! I've been waiting for this video! I love my Hidden Woodsmen Haversack! I have mine set up almost just like yours. Great video brother! Enjoy time with the fam and we will see you next year!

[@JunkyardFox]

im glad you enjoyed it. i love my haversack, never leave home without it. happy holidays, brother.

[@rockfordberetta8414]

Love Hidden Woodsmen's stuff. I've got one of Malcom's back packs and it's solid. Made perfectly. Can't say enough good about Hidden Woodsmen. Great review. That's a great setup with very minimal payload to carry. I want one of these little bags.

[@JunkyardFox]

his work is top notch and beautiful to boot

[@anoren4480]

I know this is an older vid, but I must honestly say as long as I have been watching the tube, I am rarely as entertained by such an enjoyable video. The tunes don't hurt either. I have this channel pinned, subbed and the bell is rung. Thanks bro! PS I spent some time in Flagstaff & a few years on the high desert across the CA border.

[@kenmarapese9085]

Beautiful locations, nice vid.

[@Marlonscrazy]

I think I'm gonna have to buy this now.

[@JunkyardFox]

dude, these are awesome, plus theres different colors and patterns to choose from.

[@jeffstrong8280]

Merry Christmas James nice review on the haversack. I've been totin around a Maxpadition versapack for bout 7 years now. still need that horse brother.

[@JunkyardFox]

ill get a horse next xmas lol

[@NawfDallas03]

so I also live in the desert. I love bushcraft and one thing I have been unable to make and find a video on is making a survival bow in the desert. as you know in the desert there sent as many resources and I was wondering if you could make a video on that. awesome videos! thank you for your time!

[@JunkyardFox]

i actaully have never made a bow so i dont see me making a vid on that anytime soon but check out primitive lifeways channel, hes made a few of them plus hes in arizona.

[@NawfDallas03]

Thanks!

[@MrRugercat45]

The intro was one of if not THE best I have ever seen on YT, wow, you’re so lucky to live in the Southwest! Beautiful desert scenery. Love your vids, you have a great way of making us feel like true friends. As if we’re sharing a campfire with you, real gift there. How cold does it get there? Keep up the fantastic work, and God Bless!

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Awesome hands on vid! I like ur mods or additions to suit ur style. Have fun for the Holidays... stay warm!

[@JunkyardFox]

happy holidays, brother.

[@cillaloves2fish688]

+Junkyard Fox Thx James! But Cilla is short for Priscilla... so I'm "sis", jus to let u know. LOL!

[@JunkyardFox]

sorry about that cilla! i havent read comments since last month, jsut read this. happy new years, sis!

[@lennyracine9775]

Another great vid. Thanks

[@mr.delacruz559]

So happy I ordered mine! Got the black & Coyote color combination ,so i think it will fit into an urban environment just as well in the outdoors. Really wish he had your color combination in stock.Also I’m So glad they have added a grab handle now. As always it’s a pleasure watching your video! So glad I subscribed back when! Merry Christmas and God bless to you and yours!!! Cuervo Negro is Awesome! Thanx for turning me on to them!

[@JunkyardFox]

thanks for watching! dude youre gonna love that haversack! im not sure if youve seen our latest video but were giving away 2 mora garberg knives. enter the contest for a chanceto get yourself an extra christmas present!

[@mr.delacruz559]

Junkyard Fox I absolutely did watch that awesome Giveaway video! I have the bell notification on your channel. I did enter. Also I make my own fixin wax ,if you don’t know what that is look up fixin wax on KZbin. I don’t sell them I just use it for chap stick,cuts,waterproofing gear,treating leather, &wood and steel on my axes and knives. I would love to send you some just out of appreciation of your channel. I live in Fresno Ca and it gets up to 113 to 115 and down to 30-32 so the fixin was should Serve you well.If your not interested it’s all good ,no hard feelings. But thanx for the reply and that awesome giveaway. I did let the hidden woodsman know by writing on the notes section of my order that I saw his haversack on JunkYard Fox 🦊. God bless and Merry Christmas!!!🎄🎁

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

James, your world is so different than mine here in Nova Scotia. Still, Malcolm's products work just as well for us here as it does for you even if we pack it slightly differently. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas

[@JunkyardFox]

i know, its so crazy how the world is so radically different. awesome, if ye have a video with your hidden woodsmen bag setup, send me the link so i can check it out! thanks mark, happy holidays, brother.

[@MarkYoungBushcraft]

Hi James. Didn't mean to mislead. I do not have a Hidden Woodsmen bag... at least not yet. I do have a couple of shoulder bags I use and I have seen other Canadians using Malcolm's haversack. I guess I was trying to say how versatile the design can be

[@JunkyardFox]

oh yeah, very vesatile and rugged bag, joe robinet is up in canada and hes using hidden woodmsne gear all the time

[@darkwolf135883]

all the bushcraft style videos ive seen have all been in wooded forests and the like. Seeing this video and knowing that you are from and use this equipment in the american southwest is awesome, since that's also where I live and do all my camping and hiking. Definitely a setup I will be looking into :)

[@UndeadPreacher]

Happy new years

[@JunkyardFox]

happy new years brother! yes i know im a little late lol

[@barrybueler3356]

Great haversack well priced great for any outdoorsman and preppier built tough happy I made the purchase 👍👍

[@JunkyardFox]

[@jojobrimhall5161]

Do you have a link to a place where we could print out that info in the desert walk booklet?

[@BillHinson]

Great video I love my Hidden woodsmen Haversack I've had one for a few years now And it has served me very well Keep up the awesome videos

[@JunkyardFox]

they are great! i havea large HW pack now. cant wait to go test it!

[@JunkyardFox]

the gloves and coat i bought at target. coat is from converse, the gloves i dont remember but theyre not wool though

[@KowboyUSA]

[@Thorovain]

Love the review, James! I've decided to buy my own haversack with my next paycheck.

[@herbertmace6755]

Peace to you, and blessings in 2017. Thank you for all the cool videos!

[@zenekmuszynski5649]

love your vids don't get time to respond but your channel has very good info and advice, since I live in southern Arizona alot of what you do pertains to the same environment that I am in as well and I am not from the desert so you put out great info for me to study before I hit the trails.

[@JunkyardFox]

im glad i can help, arizona is a beautiful area. hopefully i can film a few vids over there this year.

[@Deathksi]

@junkyard fox what jacket is that?

[@JunkyardFox]

i got this jacket at target a few years back, converse brand.

[@pboone1231]

Thanks for the review. Can you tell me which gloves you are sporting in this video? Thanks.

[@JunkyardFox]

glad ye liked it. i bought these gloves at target, cant remember the brand but they cost like 20 bucks or less.

[@pboone1231]

Junkyard Fox Thanks. Have a few near me, I'll look around.

[@johnboy7417]

Frost River makes some really nice canvas bags, you should check it out James!

[@anthonyrampino7734]

[@DaneStolthed]

I'll have to check out the Hidden Woodsmen, good review!

[@JunkyardFox]

the hidden woodsmen gear is top notch! thanks for watching!

[@ironknucklesbrewbeast6166]

Nice little kit there.

[@juancairo]

Great video my friend. Regards from Argentina!!!

[@JunkyardFox]

hello, my friend! greetings from texas

[@Iamjasonallen]

Thanks James!

[@andreasburger8156]

Some of your modification (like the condor H2O pouch) seems very loose. I find it very irritating when my gear wiggles and wobbles around, whats your opinion on this? Do you mind that happening?

[@JunkyardFox]

i dont mind it to be honest. if youre gonna order from the hidden woodsmen, im sure you can contact him and have him add extra molle straps to keep the gear tighter to the bag.

[@WinStunSmith]

Where did you get your grill? I’ve been looking all over for a portable, but decently sized grill. I find plenty on Amazon, etc., but they are always very narrow and pretty short. I might be able to fit a cup of coffee and a medium sized chicken breast on them. It’s been annoying the hell out of me. LOL

[@JunkyardFox]

I got my grill at Albertsons grocery store. It comes with two grills designed for the oven but they work great outdoors

[@TheLankyWoodsman]

Great video my friend, can't wait to see what you have for 2017.

[@Trav_Can]

I love your stray dog too.

[@drcsep]

I love mine. Concur, this is a great haversack. Great video. I'm a new subscriber. Feliz🎄Navidad 🙏

[@ksstg581]

Hey, James- i saw you 1st on pm101- great to be getting to know you...1st class review- Have a very Merry Christmas!

[@JunkyardFox]

hellp, friend. nice to meet ye, feel free to check out my past vids. happy holidays, brother.

[@puma1304]

well, if you want to live up to the "historic-style-fashion" I think this is ok (and I like traditional gear and historic tradition) but even as a minimalist I would add some little things like loops or D rings in the inside of one of the pockets in order to fasten the things I really do not want to loose. Perhaps a loop to be able to fix the bag to the belt? ... (and there are many other things which I will definitively modify myself). The idea of putting light colors inside is good! it is annoying if you look for something and darkness won't let you see a thing... Something I would really like though would be to have these bags in a "natural version" also (waxed canvas, leather, brass/wood/horn/bone buttons/buckles etc... although again, this is also a marketing issue). For the environmental conscious hiker this would be an asset (nylon cordura and the chemicals for impregnating are not totally ok or safe), otherwise these are nice products, and it is VERY important to support local craftsmanship!

[@steveshockey5793]

where did you get your grill?

[@eachday9538]

I'm a little bit fatigued with the Hidden Woodsmen haversack hype already out there, a small cynical part of my brain says "yeah, it's a bag", but it is a cool little bag and your cool thumbnail sucked me in. Love the scenery, music and gear ideas.

[@JunkyardFox]

gotta say, its an excelletn top notch, beautiful bag. you dont necessarily need one ot get outdoors but if youre ever looking for a trusty bag that can be customized to your taste, give this one a try.

[@eachday9538]

Yes it is, and I probably shouldn't worry about the hype, the big companies get that too and we just expect it. It is a good thing that one of the smaller players who puts out quality gear tailored specifically to a genre is being supported by the "community". Carry on, don't mind me ;-)

[@equal4206]

great vid James, happy holidays bro

[@JunkyardFox]

thansk so much! happy holidays, brother.

[@47kcr]

New subscriber and I got to say, great video, great review! My question is, what ferry rod was that?

[@JunkyardFox]

the ferro rod in my pack is a gerber bear grylls ferro rod. surprisingly a very good, affordable rod.
