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.

[@tdgdbs1]

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

[@JJPaulson777]

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

[@JJPaulson777]

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.

[@kennethlouviere7254]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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 😎🇺🇸🤙🏼

[@La_Loca_Armada]

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

[@JeffreyCotle]

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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@Dontcareatall.]

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

[@scottfwalter]

Good rules!

[@jinxjones5497]

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

[@michaelrosnerjr1288]

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

[@thekraken48]

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

[@rickwhitson2804]

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

[@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! 😘

[@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.

[@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!

[@madtownangler]

Thanks for the reminder I gotta buy a fanny pack for an airplane ride next week.

[@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.

[@Robertssurvivalsystems]

That is a nice haver sack. good kit too.

[@210outdoors2]

Nice EDC review! Enjoyed the video!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

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

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Great review. You covered everything.

[@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!

[@terrym1065]

👍👍 Good stuff, thanks James.

[@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.

[@MrJbarreda]

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

[@kalstreksandtrails7606]

Awesome pack and video my friend

[@matthewsmom010902]

Thank you ❤

[@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

[@aceman1126]

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

[@danholmblad9925]

It's your best video. Since you're mishap. God bless.

[@markbrandli]

I would still have a blanket and an emergency blankets. Would you consider showing the one wind sometime? I bought one but haven't had time to use it yet.

[@herbsmith6871]

Thanks James... Just had to order another one of Malcolm us products😂

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

Hi James loved the review. Loved the intro music!

[@hikingwithjackieboy]

Good review.

[@TheAngryDracolope]

Is that an Opinel No8 in your hat band James?

[@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.

[@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!

Hey junkyard dog, I really enjoy your videos keep it up man

[@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

[@goose45015]

Where did you get the canteen cup with large handles.

[@suprememagnetic4850]

Nice pack.

[@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

[@XC797]

Great review .

[@gregwright392]

Nice pack!

[@JimJones762x39]

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

Haversack is sweet i think ill make a cool SHTF first aid kit out of one you can fit tornequet compression guaze no problem

[@longrider42]

Yeah, said bag was used by the US Military, long before this bag was made. And yes, its a medic bag.

[@thevirginiabushcrafter8833]

I’ve got that older bandanna

[@michaelrosnerjr1288]

For the lighter try mineral spirits I think it's the same thing if I'm not mistaken

Zippo fluid is naptha. Like what is used for dry cleaners..

[@charliec.6490]

Tent stakes?

[@famoffive831]

What is the music track at the end?

Hey buddy, I use camp fuel in my Zippo all the time. A can last forever.

Perfect but need water.

[@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. 💪

[@JJPaulson777]

Never heard of a haversack til this channel. I'm not sure why you would choose to carry something on your side rather than on your back- it seems uncomfortable? Or did this evolve out of the man purse? I hike & hunt long distances and I wouldn't want to be switching sides to even out the back pain of it, but maybe I'm not picking up on the joy of the haversack LOL

[@markbrandli]

Haversacks were even used in the 1700's Look up the history... And for light packing they are great and comfortable.

[@randymartin5521]

I've heard of them since I was a kid. I'm a bit of a history nut, and the soldiers, explorers and mountain men of the 1600s to 1800s, as well as soldiers and explorers today carry them, but yeah, I agree, a shoulder bag pulls on my neck and makes it ache from my shoulder up into the back of my skull. Much easier for me to carry a backpack.

[@longrider42]

Its just a sack you have, too put stuff in. And if you get a wider shoulder strap, it is very comfortable. I use one almost every day, due to all the stuff I have to carry with me. I a lot of respects, much easier to use. Specially if you ride a bus, easier to get on and off. As others have said the Haversack has been around for a very very LONG time.

[@JJPaulson777]

I am also a history nut and live in the bush of Alaska and have always hunted & filmed wildlife alone in Wisconsin etc. Thankfully someone else answered my question correctly elsewhere. Enjoy your side aches LOL

[@longrider42]

@@JJPaulson777 I am a bike rider and a walker. I carry a EDC bag every time I go out. I've never had any side pain, or shoulder pain. But I use a nicely padded shoulder strap.

[@CuddlyStingray0731]

I always want to like these bags but they kill my back if I ever have to go a meaningful distance.

[@longrider42]

Then your using the wrong strap. Try using a wider strap.

[@longrider42]

You will more then likely delete this comment. But as I've told you before. A company called Condor Tactical, sells the EXACT same bag, but it has one more pocket. Same dimensions, the Molle on the back is a tad different, because its meant to attach to other gear. And I've just found you can get it in Black, Olive/green, and tan. And lets just say you can get 3 of the Condor bags for the price of said M55, and still have money left over. Okay, I will stop ranting now. Oh, one last thing. I've had one of the Condor bags for 15 years and it has never failed me.

nothing "M55" about it. a new made M3 medic bag

[@elizabeththompson4424]

I just don't like the bag....

[@longrider42]

There is nothing new or innovative about said M55 Haversack. It is pretty much a copy of the M3 Medic Roll-Out Bag. With a few minor exceptions. Others have also pointed this out.
