I enjoyed you showing your fishing tool container with all the goodies inside! So cool! Please show us more! I just love this stuff! Thank you for doing these videos! Oh it helps me so much!!! God bless you!!! 🙏🙏

[@baileybrunson42]

Jackie, you should think about joining us for Blackie's Gatherings and/ or the Silver Wolves classes.. they're always a lot of fun..! 🐻

[@ricktuma3233]

Very nice gear , awesome video ! Thanks Bear 👍👍

[@baileybrunson42]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Rick and your welcome..! It's always good to hear from you.. 🐻

[@smoothvern165]

Very nice kit, and a great explanation of the uses. You would be well prepared. I’m looking forward to the possible demo of the fishing kit!

[@baileybrunson42]

You know Vern.. I want to be slightly "over prepared" than under prepared. I admit you can't be 100% prepared all the time but.. you can be prepared to knock most of the rough edges off.. 🐻

Hi Bear, hope you're having a good 4th of July weekend. Nice loadout kit. Thanks for sharing and the good advice. Gives me better ideas for my own. Take care.👍🏻👍🏻

[@baileybrunson42]

Glad I could be of help Jeff.. hope your having a wonderful Independence Day as well..! 🐻

[@elvinamillaneam]

Greetings Bear, I do enjoy your words of wisdom, "Don't do me, do you" . The Swiss flashlight looks very interesting. Bear, I added a rain poncho with a blanket in my car bag.

[@baileybrunson42]

That's great Elvin.. your vehicle is a safe shelter if you find yourself stranded..! 🐻

[@chrishall9208]

Good kit Sir! Thanks for showing us and explaining the reasons for what you have. That’s something I’m putting together currently in my haversacks. Have a great weekend brother!

[@baileybrunson42]

Thank you Chris.. I hope it will be a help with your project.. BTW the package arrived today.. 🐻

[@fredbustin3788]

I need to find one of tbose Swiss flashlights! Enjoyed the video.

[@baileybrunson42]

Fred, you might check out Amazon or maybe eBay.. good luck..! 🐻

[@alphaomegasurvivalsupply6548]

For the folding saw...try the corona razor tooth saw first, im sure you've seen them before but they're tougher than a silky and a lot less cost. It also cuts as good as a silky in my opinion, and it won't break if you mess up a little lol.

[@bretjohnson6188]

I second the idea of the Corona brand saws. They work well and actually fit my budget better than the more popular brands.

[@baileybrunson42]

"Corona razor tooth"..? I'll have to look into that.. sounds like a good piece of kit.. thanks Alpha, you too Bret..! 🐻

[@charlesmartin6459]

I think you can take that little container that your fish fishing set entire the line to the end of it and use it to roll up the line with

[@baileybrunson42]

You probably could Charles but I have an idea 😉 for a video that might interest you..! 🐻

[@paulkyser9892]

Inspiring ! I need too get my gear out it’s been a while since I have done anything with my kit

[@baileybrunson42]

Thank you Paul.. I like to check mine out at least twice a year.. once in the Spring and again in the Fall.. the gear needs to be rotated to make those seasonal adjustments..! 🐻

[@davegoodridge8352]

Those ECO candle lanterns with 3 candles make a little stove.

[@baileybrunson42]

Dave, never thought about that but I'll bet they just might.. I know for a fact that little metal plate on mine gets hotter than a two dollar pistol (ask me how I found that one out 😂)..! 🐻

[@davidneal6920]

Good stuff Bear 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

[@baileybrunson42]

Thank you David.. and thanks for watching..! 🐻

[@timpearce4255]

very interesting presentation. I appreciate you sharing your rig and it's contents. You continue to gain confidence as a presenter. I like your comment " you do you" you come across as genuine and factual. Food comment: I agree the FEMA meals are basic and a last resort. I'd prefer pinto beans chopped onions and corn bread but like you said it's substance and filling. The farm tractor and wagon remind me of days gone by that are now cherished. Thanks Bear!

[@baileybrunson42]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Tim.. anyone can put a kit together but the items I select might not fit you or Blackie or anyone else.. that's where the "do you" comes from.. your beans 🫛, onions 🧅 and bread 🍞 sounds much better than those FEMA meals but they will fill a hollow spot.. I've tried to improve my presentation skills.. I'm glad to know it's paying off.. 🐻

[@MAXCOBRALAZERFACE]

lol 😂 I guess this is my friendly reminder to take the battery out of my expensive flashlight 👍🏻

[@baileybrunson42]

I would Max.. as the battery carrodes it will turn your expensive flashlight into an expensive paperweight..! 🐻

[@bretjohnson6188]

LOL. Truth! I can't count the number of electronic things I have destroyed by storing the batteries inside!

[@jeff6989]

Great video ! I like the hat !

[@baileybrunson42]

Thank you Jeff..! The hat was given to me for a friend..! 🐻

Hi 🐻,,greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos. Those container's also can make a good sewing kit. With the kit on the table it was hard to see, you were able to see and hear good, just an observation if you are doing kit reviews, lighting may be better, please don't take offence, just my opinion. Keep up the great work.

[@baileybrunson42]

Hey Owl..! I never mind suggestions that can improve the quality of these videos.. thank you for sharing your thoughts..! 🐻

[@57WillysCJ]

Good thinking. Did I miss your compass? I like to carry orange marking tape as well as a little LED strobe for night time location. Old time hikers and Vietnam soldiers carried orange vitamin C tablets to add to treated water to make it more palitable. I think they used Life Savers as well. Nowadays we have drink powders like lemon or lime. They sell freeze dried lemon, orange and lime powders. Practice at home how much you need to help your drinking water. By the way everyone should read how the Tootsie Roll helped save marines in the Korean war.

[@baileybrunson42]

Excellent thoughts Willys.. I have several compasses just left them at the house 😂..! 🐻

[@bretjohnson6188]

Bear, I would be interested in knowing more about that stove you have so that I can look into getting one for myself.

[@baileybrunson42]

Not a problem Bret.. it's an Ozark Trails product I got at Walmart. The performance with a traditional can of sterno is meh.. clip one of those new wick style sterno cans and you're going to be really pleased how efficient it is. 🐻

[@bretjohnson6188]

​@@baileybrunson42Thank you, Bear!

[@gulfcoastpinebelt8600]

Great loadout, It's to the point and doesn't have excess stuff that won't be used. I really liked the swiss flashlight too

Well thank you Pine.. I've tried to keep it as clean as possible.. you might check out Amazon or eBay and see if they have them.. 🐻

[@oldminer5387]

Thank you for sharing your kit Bear. I have one of those angle military flashlights also. I was able to find a LED bulb for it and in addition to producing a bit more light it also improved the runtime. Neat stove, have not seen one like that. Take care.

[@baileybrunson42]

I'm still looking for those LEDs for the angle light Miner. I'm sure they are not far away..! 🐻

[@DamianBloodstone]

Super idea and kit. I like the idea of the old style butt pack and military gear. Thanks for showing it to us and detailing what you packed and why. Excellent job on the fishing kit. Take Care and Stay Safe, my friends.

[@baileybrunson42]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Damian.. I like to "review" my gear once in the Spring and again in the Fall.. IMHO although heavier surplus gear tends to out last the thin ultra light stuff on the market.. not to mention it has been field tested for decades.. 🐻

[@jackieburns638]

This video is truly AWESOME! Loved the explanations about gear! I don’t know the name and what some gear is used for? Thank you Bear for explaining it in simple terms! You have really SOLD ME on your channel!!! I can’t wait for you to go back to Kaufman’s surplus military store also! Loved that show too! Thank you Bear for ALL YOUR HARD WORK! Also, thank you Blackie for always helping Bear out! You do have great video skills! Love you guys! God bless the BOTH OF YOU!

[@baileybrunson42]

Thank you Jackie.. your words are too kind. I don't want to be the guy who keeps people in the dark on purpose. I want you to know what I'm using, why I'm using it and how to use it yourself. Blackie and I have been friends for about fifty years.. he's probably the best friend I have. The neat thing is that he's the same person now as he was then. I like to remind him (and his wife whom I've known even longer) when you've been friends as long as we have, friendship becomes family. 🐻

[@vulcangunner58]

Well done Bear, you've got all the essentials covered in a compact kit. But, did I miss your compass?...I left the room for a moment. I used to carry my UL fishing kit in GI web gear, it was handy for "hike-in" rivers and lakes, sometimes in the highlands.

[@baileybrunson42]

No Gunner, you didn't miss it.. for whatever reason I didn't include it in this gear dump.. I'll get it next time..! 🐻

Thank you

[@johnthomasjr262]

Great video, as always. Pack would not be so heavy if you ditched the 1911 for a striker fired pistol. I'm just picking at you, I like 1911s. But I gotta say you get extra cool points for some of the things in the video, including your choice of reading, the red belly in the background, the Ruger hat, and the nifty little swiss lantern.

[@baileybrunson42]

It's funny you should say that about the '11 John.. I have a couple of strikers and the weight difference is negligible. I'm glad you enjoyed it brother..! 🐻

[@offthecouch1999]

love this kit. can you do an overnight with this ? id love to see it in use. also where can i get the multibag

[@baileybrunson42]

The multibags should be available through Blackie or stitchgear.com ..🐻

[@jbfitz196]

Hey Mr Bear still new to your channel and enjoying the videos. I also am a fan of Morknive a cool little secret of them I like is how you can link two of them together by their sheath by clicking one to the other by the belt clip onto that triangler button on the front of the sheath so you can have 2hanging from your belt one just below the top one comes in handy when skinning a deer or hog if the first one gets dull place back in its sheath and just reach down and grab the 2nd one that’s still sharp and ready to go although not all their sheaths have that ability but pretty handy for the ones that do . Also was wondering where you got the little stove set you showed in this video

[@baileybrunson42]

That's a neat trick to know JB.. never thought about it. I got that little stove when I was a Scoutmaster back in the '90s.. it's a Mountain Trails product I picked up at Walmart.. see if you can find a website for Mountain Trails or perhaps eBay.. it just might be there.. 🐻

[@offthecouch1999]

at the end of the day the uco is still a candle. it produces heat and can safely go in the poncho because it inclosed. i never leave the pavement without mine

[@baileybrunson42]

Me either sir 😁..! 🐻

[@ostekuste3646]

I’m putting together a buttpack for those 1 day hikes that might turn into an overnighter. I’ve been using my haversack but it gets a little uncomfortable on the shoulder with that kind of load. I don’t like a backpack on these hot days, sweats me to death!

[@baileybrunson42]

Sounds like the buttpack is your perfect option then Oste..! I agree with you the haversack is awesome but can be a bit limiting in it's ability to carry comfortably for an overnighter. It does however make an incredible supplement to the buttpack for your overnight comfort and stay.. 🐻

[@Arnold-k1l]

I have found that a rat tail knife handle will break, so I carry a full tang knife.
