Whats In My EDC Pack? Hidden Woodsmen M55 Haversack Review!

[@scout06171]

What you have is the USA military Combat lifesaver’s bag. Your buddy did the design it. It appears to be an exact copy with the exception that your friend added the molle straps on the back and the orange liner in each pocket. The 600 denier cloth looks better than the nylon the military uses. It also appears to be more durable although my Lifesaver’s Bag has lasted me over 25 years. However, I use mine for its original purpose and typically keep it in my vehicle. I really like what you’ve done. I’d really like to see you start to carry more first aid on your trips, especially after your recent work injury. Bad things can happen anywhere. Here’s what I carry because I, like you, carry a pistol/rifle everywhere I go: you should carry a tourniquet, some bleed stop, 2 packages, compressed wound packing material, 2 packages (you gotta fill the wound channel to slow /stop the bleeding) and 2 chest seals (so a lung doesn’t collapse). It’ll cost you between $50-$100 for all those supplies. But, your life is worth that.

CLS bags are painful to carry long distance.

[@kennethlouviere7254]

Lol, I was about to say something very similar. I’m a US Army veteran. I actually have a combat life saver bag exactly like that. Of course mine is all olive drab.

[@HighlanderMikeGolf]

@@kennethlouviere7254Same here

[@FarmCat777]

I carry a small first aid in a cargo pocket of my pants and I carry another larger first aid in my backpack n a larger in my vehicle...thank you for the comment...I wasn't understanding why you'd carry something long distances on your side but my questions about the haversack were not answered before and I had never heard of one. Happy Trails

[@FarmCat777]

Carrying emergency tinder & 3 lighters is also important...so you can fall down with a serious injury and make a fire right there with what you can crawl around and use to keep the fire going. The little bit of rope we carry can always be used as a tourniquet and I try to keep small tourniquets in the first aid kits. I still choose to carry everything on my back cuz I looked for antlers all day etc but first aid is always a hot topic 💗 it's good to keep your pistols on your person with lanyards so when grizzly bears etcetera knock you down you can recover your weapon. Peace

[@philgear7414]

I am really glad to see that you can use your “injured” hand without any problems 👍👍👍 All your videos are so inspiring - thank you for sharing them with us 🙏🙏 You rock, my friend.

[@justinrjensen2]

So happy you are back at it and not letting anything limit you. been a fan since Corporals Corners pushed for supporting you.. Keep it up

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

Awesome video man you know they have 100 gram cans of those gas that are just tiny for Backpackers! That's what I'm switching to I'm going to order some of them!

[@ralphnye664]

Nice updated version of that old med bag & I have been looking at that style now I have a newer version to check out thx 😎🇺🇸🤙🏼

[@JeffreyCotle]

Hi James awsome video. Love the beautiful open country. God bless

[@codered7453]

I'm prepared for most folks to scoff at this seemingly absurd choice, but I've been employing the Enfamil baby/diaper backpack. It's cheap or free (got it complimentary from Lexington Medical Hospital when my daughter was born this past May) It's been extremely durable and I carry it every day. It's gray in color so it's not tacticool or ostentatious. It's waterproof (or nearly so) and has insulated pockets, and the side pocket can accommodate a 24oz insulated water bottle. It has proven to be most durable and they're extremely inexpensive. Just a thought for those who want a good daybag but don't want to fork over much cash for one. Excellent video James as per usual.

[@timpearce4255]

I use a M3 Bag (Unit 3 bag) as a "HaverSack". I still carry my FMSS issue bag from 1974 which is sporting a few patches now. Great way to organize for rapid access to your gear.

[@ConnieShearer-g1m]

Good review! Love the opening, that hat really belongs on you, and the music sets the mood perfectly! Keep working on the strength in your left hand; glad to see you making the effort to use it! 😘

[@rickwhitson2804]

Great review James. I always enjoy watching. Great job.

[@Toxica_Intoxicada]

Great to see you out again and feeling better! Glad to see you back! Stay safe out there and happy wondering 🤍

[@jerrisgibbs161]

Looks like your hand is feeling better! I'm so glad! Also just a commentary on the bag- this would be great for artists, too. I love the construction of it, it would be awesome for carrying a sketchbook, watercolors, and pens and pencils etc. I'm gonna go check out what colors it comes in

[@jinxjones5497]

Good job james. Good to see your hand is improving. Keep up with your physio

[@thekraken48]

Just checked that hidden woodsman shop. Very Cool. Thanks for the video

[@Foskey83]

I just recently picked one up from The Prepared Wanderer. Very pleased with it so far. I have yet to build out that bit of kit. So, I appreciate you showing yours. Great content, as always!

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Great review. You covered everything.

[@ClancyWoodard-yw6tg]

One of the best packs that I used was this old US military pack from I want to say the Korean war it even had the guy's name on it still and it was dated 1945

[@gosensgo13]

I have 3 of these for me, wife and son. I got the basic stuff in there but I added a small 22 revolver in all 3. But I love these packs especially since he has them on sale right now.

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Awesome pack and loadout!

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

That is a nice haver sack. good kit too.

[@MrJbarreda]

Looking good James, hope your pt is going well, cheers!

[@BUZZKILLJRJR]

Also the Spam single serving packs or spam light single serving packs are great for a little protein and fat salts too good Source, you throw it in some water make some broth if you're not a fan of spam there's many spices you can use to doctor it up they are light weight and last an exstreamly long time, they're small they fit into pockets and panels they're really nice to have other than just a full can of spam I carry them no matter what now Everywhere I Go in my bags

[@aceman1126]

So good seeing your dexterity come back so well! Thanks for another great video

[@kennethlouviere7254]

As an Army veteran, I appreciate his showing respect to the military with the “US” on the haversack.

[@buckeyebushcraft]

Great video man, one of the very few people I’ll watch.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Pretty cool looking pack. Cheers, James! 👍👍✌️

[@Candygurlzz23]

I am new to your channel, I can't express enough thanks for thr content you share. I feel so much more confident about survival for family and myself. I Love the native knowledge you insert into your videos. Thank you for yiur hard work.

[@JeffreyCotle]

Hi James and Cuervo. Another awsome. I just ordered my henry steel 45-70 rifle. I didn't need it but wanted Another big bore henry. I'm a hunter and trapper. And got 4 more years till I'm retired. And then I'm headed to northern Maine to my cabin. To disappear from society. 😊

[@kalstreksandtrails7606]

Awesome pack and video my friend

[@michaelrosnerjr1288]

On the buckle if he does two maybe do it so you can add a wool blanket

[@terrym1065]

👍👍 Good stuff, thanks James.

[@Dontcareatall.]

First rule: never skip a junkyard fox video second rule: enjoy the video❤

[@scottfwalter]

Good rules!

[@210outdoors2]

Nice EDC review! Enjoyed the video!

[@six10creative]

Excellent video brother!

[@williammccaslin8527]

I think its a badass piece of kit, I can see that having a use for us hunters with some minor improvements. Hey keep pushing the use of that hand bro, it will take time but it will get better with use. Thx for the vid JF

[@Hamm3rstr1k3]

I started carrying a haversack because of you and I absolutely don't regret getting the French trade haversack from hidden woodsman. I would, however like to ask you to peer pressure Malcom into bringing back the 35L pack lol

[@randomadventures2.0]

Hi James loved the review. Loved the intro music!

[@ArturoLedezma-jv3jo]

Outstanding review James! Always good to be organized about your safety and comfort. A first aid kit would be a must in there too! A whet stone for your knife. Quite impressive! And I do agree about that top cover needing to cover the exposed zipper there. The strap? I thought of sturdier ones I’ve seen at camera shops or even guitar straps. I’m wondering though, why is it you typically hang it up? I’m thinking the material might not wear very well on rough surfaces? I’m gonna have to look into this one because being compartmentalized as it is, I’m picturing a nice backwoods tackle box. Plastics in one, lures in another, hooks/weights in another, line/swivels. Nice! Thank you sir!

[@apar1560]

Nice pack ! Thanks for the demo ! 👍👍👍 ...Alan in Texas 🇨🇱

[@theoldscout3478]

The knapsack reminds me of my Dads WWII Army Air Corp knapsack and it did have 2 buckles holding down the top cover. About the same size.

[@randyyeager]

I'm a huge fan of his regular haversack. One large compartment that I can fit bigger gear. PALS webbing on both sides so I can add a bottle pouch and an IFAK so I have lots of room on the inside. No zippers to break. Axe sleeve on the front. If I want compartments I just add pouches on the inside. This haversack is not for me, but I can see others liking it. I have like 5 pieces of Malcolm's gear. All are made well from great materials. You won't get a crappy piece of gear from the Hidden Woodsmen.

[@DavidWendland-qp7jw]

Great review Junkyard Fox!

[@Gary-ks8rz]

Love the outdoors in the West. From Southeastern New Mexico.

[@MQuinn-eb3zz]

The origiinal US army pack was a medical pack, the top cover also rode up on one side (I could never really solve the issue). Still it is an excellent pack, I still have my original pack in my closet and only recently replaced it as my car first aid kit bag.

[@matthewsmom010902]

Thank you ❤

[@Honk21]

Thanks for Sharing

[@madtownangler]

I do a lot of fishing at night so I have a small three battery headlamp on my head when I go out. I don't have a hand flashlight

[@bobbieschke599]

M3 Aid bag, I have my original Army issue, as well as, the M5....

[@madtownangler]

I carry a couple little tiny metal containers that are maybe an inch long that are like your match container I can fit a bunch of aspirin in one and I put a few antacids in the other. The aspirin is for me and the antacid for my hunting buddy who always forgets his. I also have a wind-up radio for those all night fishing trips down by the river keeps the racoons and deer away.

[@goose45015]

Where did you get the canteen cup with large handles.

[@JimJones762x39]

Id like to see some MOLE on the front somehow so you could add a few mag pouches

[@johnkraemer5505]

I want to get one of those cool Primitive Bear Knives moral Patches. I checked out their web site…. They don’t sell them and the don’t have any contact info on their web site. Please ask your Buddy to sell the moral patches on his web site! Keep up the great work! Thanks!

[@madtownangler]

I got a whole bunch of those emergency food blocks that they send with kits that are pretty nasty too. There are no military places nearby so it's hard to get MRE's so I have a couple energy bars and I usually have a plastic nalgene container full of ice that eventually becomes cold water as it melts One time I was extremely dehydrated while deer hunting and ended up putting snow in a bottle and breathing on it to melt a little at a time

[@luisvera7993]

This pack was used in Vietnam in 1968 by the Firstaidters to carry first aid I know I was in Vietnam at that time

[@homeofinventions]

Gas station convenience stores have fluid.

[@famoffive831]

What is the music track at the end?

[@charliec.6490]

Tent stakes?

[@MrJbarreda]

I’ve got that older bandanna

[@danielrogers997]

I had no idea calorie mate was real! Now I want to play metal gear solid 3 again.

[@az_dogwhisperer520]

Yup,I use an old Medic's bag like that for my Go Bag. Brother, when a Navy Seal gives you something that cool, you pay attention. Get well,my friend...

[@jasonpetrey4004]

Can’t remember what brand mine is had it for 10 years and use it for medical

[@mackquack2929]

White gas is a cheaper source of lighter fluid for Zippo type lighters.

[@oxxnarrdflame8865]

Very nice bag and I liked your load out and reason behind it. 👍

[@nomad753]

You need to keep you a spare left hand in there brother. EDIT- I can say this being paralyzed from the waist down , so F*CK all you haters. 💪
