Always great to see what people are carrying in each season!!! Blessings to you and your family 😇 🇺🇸

[@richardcranium6554]

I'm broken and gimped up, so I cant wander like I used to....back when we practiced the art of WOODSCRAFT, back in the 70's....Man;) Building a perm camp here on my property, about 1/4 back in. Leaving most of the stuff right down in the woods, to lighten the load up. But always have 2 knives, 2 ignition sources, and a pistol on me at all times. At a minimum. Cant afford the shmancy stuff anymore, but what I dont already have i find at yard sales, thrift stores, etc. Getting out there is all that matters to me, wish it was with everyone. Rock on.

[@whtwolff658]

Hi Richard Cranium! Agree! Save money build your kit from thrift store finds. Much more satisfying in the woods using your wits & ingenuity. 🤘💙🔥

[@WayPointSurvival]

Nice load out!

[@tonynapoli5549]

I carry similar What no first aid kit !! Lol a must Thanks for sharing 👍👌🇬🇧

[@kimberlystevens886]

Okay, I'm a woman and not a "bushcrafter" but my first thought is "what about first aid stuff?" Even for a a short trip to the woods I carry some band-aids, Neosporin, or my little personal first aid kit from Walmart...

[@chickengod9885]

Who needs a first aid kit when you know witchcraft?

[@solaire773]

I have a rucksack style one so I try and have my sleep equipment under the top flap unless it starts to rain , just to keep it from getting dirty as I travel about

[@arlo98]

I either have way too much stuff in mine, or there’s not enough stuff here. First Aid, cooking, multi tools, flashlight, I have my hammock and a bit more clothes as well.

[@johnnygunz2300]

Yeah some first aid stuff is a good idea for sure. Change of socks at a minimum. Sun screen and chapstick is a year round thing for me (I've gotten cooked in the middle of winter in the Northeast USA by sun reflecting off of the snow).

[@dougspizman6751]

I cant believe these comments. Every 1 so quick to hate. This is a wilderness expert. Google his credentials. He doesnt need what u guys need commenting from ur kitchen table. N use common sense. The title says bushcraft kit... not hiking kit, not bug out bag, not camping bag, not overnighter bag. The more u know the less u need. There is so much info in this vid. If u know what ur looking for.

[@coalcracker]

Doug thank you I appreciate this breath of fresh air. 👍🏻

[@ob1shawnobi]

Truth. What is that metal bottle?

[@jean-frustre8594]

WOW !!! That filter bottle !! I didnt know it was existing I NEED IT !

[@Ballenxj]

Hatchet can be worn on belt. (mine is in bag) I have a couple knives, compass, Katadyn water filter, spare socks and underwear, signal mirror, and first aid kit. Still working on refinements. Have not worked out the best sleep system for me yet. Thumb up for these tips.

[@deadmetal8692]

Gear Junky, I can dig it. Back in the 90's a friend of mine started to call me a Gear Weenie. True. The phrase caught on and..... Happy trails my man!

[@OzMan9989]

From one gear junkie to another, thanks for sharing!

[@GAUROCH2]

...I 've just ordered my second Filson journeyman in tan yesterday... I just love those backpacks...they are absolutely perfect for me and the outdoor activities!!!

[@outdoorslifesurvivecraft5078]

Nice pack and setup. When I go out bushcraft camping I have a modified Fox Outdoor australian style rucksack that I love using. As for whats in it, that depends on the season. For the type of temperature you're in 50s and 60s, my wife made me a fleece sleeping bag and I made a bivy for it out of heavy duty plastic leaf bags. For me it works great from about 45 up to about 70.

[@hilltopknivesandgear8103]

Nice loadout. Love that bag.

[@MrJRW1]

I really enjoy your videos. I am a new subscriber and have found that your videos are a great resource. I am not completely new to being in the woods and camping, but I am a greenhorn when it comes to bushcrafting. Thanks for spending so much of your time educating guys like me! Cheers!👍🏻

[@jukothrow]

Great video Dan, again great meeting you at the last PF Basic, working on some things to get up to your school hopefully in early 2020.

[@patrickhulle5653]

The grayl bottle is awesome. I grabbed one during the kick starter and have been bringing it to work (consulting forester) . I usually bring a 3L Camelback, but especially during the summer, that's just not enough for the longer days. I've used this to supplement and it doesn't slow me down at all. It's a very cool system. It's also reassuring to see you, corporals corner, and Dave Canterbury using it too. Great video

[@sevenarchers5953]

Hey Dan, how about that video on how to turn cheap "Harbor Freight" blankets into a larger "bush craft" bed roll that you mentioned you would do a while back? Thanks

[@T-Bone223]

Dan. Please

Wow, that's a lot of fire starter. Nice vid.

[@kyledalrymple1987]

only carry gear that is multipurpose and instead of a ground sheet i use a rain poncho with the liner

[@K.M925]

Nice video. First aid kit it is my very important for me and it is newer missing from my bag. Also some glucose/ dextrose.

[@henrycorichi7847]

Just acquired my first Silky saw! Part of my gear now!

[@emeraldislelassjenniferfor3378]

Love my “Gerber Spine” it holds up well, nice grip, holds a nice sharp blade, perfect knife for me.🔪

That UCO tin looks like a handy size. No first aid kit? Thanks for sharing, love these kinds of videos.

[@jonpatterson5668]

I'd be absolutely lost without a multi tool

[@yuavaj7294]

You for got to mention one more thing bro. An Axe😁 . Don't worry I'm sure there's a dwarf mine somewhere around there. You might be able to find their Axes laying around.

[@ralphvandereb66]

how about a titanium plate or cooking pot to eat on and a small medical / fishing kit

[@greybearoutdoors6144]

Another quality video!

[@TheScrawnyLumberjack]

Loving my daypack made by meandering maker

[@X_explorer]

Amazing movie!

[@polkiju7]

“Scalpel” looks like a Japanese Kiridashi which I made into a neck knife. Good for fine work

[@toneyjohnson8910]

Do you carry any kind of cook kit?

[@aaronluna4341]

I like the traditional olive drab pack look that you are using. I currently use a 75 L Amazon Basics pack. I have a smaller EDC pack I carry when traveling or going to work. I’m a tool guy and in my pack I carry duplicates of knives, machetes, and hatchets. Total weight for my EDC is about 40 pounds. I’ve got two massive ferro rods, a lighter, a can of beeswax/hog fat (for oiling knives and wood), 100 foot of paracord, snare wire, a deer antler (for flint-knapping/pressure-flaking), and a rain-fly cover for the backpack if it rains. I also carry an 8 by 8 tarp for immediate rain protection. Among other things, my EDC has what I need to get by. My larger pack is for long-term wilderness stay and has a 2 week supply of food, and a variety of other things. Cool video, Aaron

[@randy97222]

just curious No hatchet or saw, no first aid kit, no cooking container, no compass, mirror, whistle, snacks, Gloves, Beany Cap, Extra socks, etc just curious - RV

[@therfnoob7697]

Right. The point of youtube camping/bushcraft is not to do any real camping/bushcraft, but online shopping instead...

[@daniell4501]

I too wonder why there's no First aid kit

[@michaelroberts47]

Ha!!! You lost me at your almost $400 bag. Has to be what, 20-30L bag right? Negative Ghost Rider. Sweet kit thought. And I’m not downing you for paying whatever you think it’s worth. ( not that you should care) Just knocked the wind out of me when I looked up the price. N EEEEE WAYS, love your videos man. Keep up the good work!

[@corwinchristensen260]

Question about the "scalpel" ... is there a sheath available and how is the leather handle attached? Thanks for the current loadout - it's good to see how what a person carries develops as their skills and experience change.

[@williamkeating893]

Do you carry toiletries such as toothbrush, toothpaste,wet wipes etc...?

[@benekeoutdoors502]

La police gear packs are budget but very good you should try them

[@jeffgrumley8230]

Good shit bro!!

[@cameronwilcox2496]

You should just keep that cup on the outside of the bag it looks cool😂

[@Christyleadbitter]

Was going ask about tips to keeping things lightweight. Have been getting out recently in the midst of putting together a nice bushcraft camp and now think it’s time to reduce my kit slightly?

[@thomasnugent7602]

Very good. Thank you very much

[@yvonnecaldwell2713]

What knife is that was in your kit .love your video thank you for sharing

[@Nofixedabode859]

Cutting tools, cooking pots?

[@Frumious_Jabberwocky]

...but why is your backup extra knife the largest and the most capable one actually?

[@hollickrichard]

is this the filson journeynan backpack if so thanks for the recommendation but its £415 in the uk outside my bracket however good

[@kan-zee]

1:42 wondering if you can get someone , in Bushcraft Community , to make you a nice leather case for your NotePad and pencil ... that would be cool !

[@coalcracker]

That someone would be me! Lol we are working on a leather case at the moment.

[@kan-zee]

@@coalcracker Have you checked out the A6 Travellers Notebook or the Hobonichi A6 ...they are great designs for rite in the rain Notebook inserts.

I use a 1942 U.S military mountaineer rucksack.

Can you recommend a light wool blanket?

[@garyzehr4445]

WHAT NO AXE OR COOKING POT? YOU CAN MAKE A AXE AND COOK ON A STICK. THANKS FOR another GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!

[@GAUROCH2]

There is a lot of redundancy on fire and some important things missing.... I wonder...!

[@shinysidedown9090]

Do you blow your nose before or after you wipe yourself. Good thing you brought the water filter - there's nothing to boil water in. How many fire starters are required to set the woods ablaze?

[@Ventus_the_Heathen]

Nothing to boil water in? Did you miss the steel bottle?

[@cornishxplora]

Great video, basic and straight to the point. I would add map/compass, mess tin, night light and small first aid kit though :) also what knife was that?

[@billandrews]

Why is the gum blanket (ground cloth), in the bag and not wrapped around your blanket so if it rains your blanket doesn't get wet? Also, how come you don't have a canteen on your hip? Isn't it a problem to have to take your pack off to get a drink on a hike? On a long hike, isn't more comfortable to have the weight of your water on your hip rather than on your shoulders?

[@coalcracker]

I’m Not hiking

[@aljones238]

Another great video! Thank you. I have noticed nobody is doing videos on clothing and Footwear, wondering if that is an area you would address one day. Also I see no videos about entrenching tools. What is your opinion there? Thanks so much again.

[@oleopathic]

No medkit, no emergecy flair or beacon ?

[@lennelonge2626]

No cook kit! Just wondering.

[@coalcracker]

Mostly grilling meat then Eating like a caveman! Off the stick lol

[@lennelonge2626]

@@coalcracker lol cool

[@willybee3056]

Only in the order....😲😨😷 k Peeee youuu Keep up the good work.

[@dhession64]

Interesting choices. The scalpel blade would be limited to small tasks, I'd imagine; I mean, that thing is pretty small, even if you wanted to use it for a patch knife. I'm betting it was cheaper than a CRKT Minimalist knife, so if you like it, who am I to judge? #2 rule of combat: if it looks stupid but it works, it isn't stupid. And I don't think you'll have any trouble at all with starting a fire lol

[@2manysigns]

Nice

[@jrozanec1]

what you eat?

Hey Dan where did you get the wooden kuska

“Showing you’s it”. Your Pennsylvania is showing. No one else is the world says that. While we’re at it, let’s talk about yin’s.

[@aaronreilly433]

I didn't see a cooking pot or any food, you gathering and trapping. lol. Great videos though. :-)

[@massoutdoortramper2744]

Aaron Reilly that’s what I was thinking too. I’d go with a small (1.1 liter) MORS bushpot. Put some coffee, snacks inside pot. add a Mtn. House meal and good to go. Or even smaller with a USGI surplus cook kit with some coffee and snacks inside. Put a little baggie of Bannock in either for a warm feel good treat 😉 JMHO

[@havocmaverick]

Right? How does he boil water like he said he does?

Could be hot stones in his wooded cup.

If you carry a lighter, (why wouldn't you?) then you should carry a pack of cigarettes. They're a great way to get an ember that'll burn for 10 minutes or so.
