Water, First Aid kit/meds. Knife, Flashlight, a Lighter and a snack, must always be with you on the hike, no matter what.

[@BBQDad463]

Thank you for this video. Looks like a super-versatile piece of kit.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thank you!

[@tomluck9455]

Using that surgical tubing is a very clever idea

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thanks!

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

For those wondering, The Nalgene bottle fits perfectly in the Pathfinder cup. Nalgene is made in USA. cup will not fit in Gonex pouch.

[@arnsnicklefritz9634]

Its cool you get out there, in trial n error. Such an adventure. Fun indeed. Eyes and ears up n at em! Lol

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thank you! Heading out again tomorrow!

[@arnsnicklefritz9634]

@@ochocobushcraft1742 oh that's so much fun. My home state has a song...'How I wish again that I was in Michigan.' lol not so much now that they passed a law that if you misidentify someone you may face jail time and 10,000 fine. Yikes! What a world we are living in. Go out and embrace the peace, get closer to God and nature. I've traveled up to Chicago and over to Wyoming. U ever get the chance, mid west is fantastic. The mountain ranges..beautiful. drive it like you stole it. Lol jk. Enjoy!

Nice bag of ‘powdered milk’ 🧐

[@explorer867]

Dan, looks like a great kit! Always good to have the items you need to make the day Trek and the items necessary to stay the night if necessary.

[@Joinordie718]

Dan I like the way you think sir. Thanks for showing your kit items.👍🙏🤙🇺🇸

[@clivedunning4317]

Hello, greetings from Scotland. Thanks for the talk through on your kit. Two things to say; firstly, I didn't see, or hear you mention a whistle. Current teaching by the SMC (Scottish Mountaineering Council) is to have one attached by lanyard to the outside of your rucksack, so you can access/use it even if your arms are injured or pinned. Secondly, I have a very similar shirt to yours, "Field & Stream" from Costco, a great bit of kit. Your kit is very well thought out, with lots of multiple use items, you obviously are very professional in your approach and attitude. I wish other Utubers putting up similar posts were as professional. Happy Trails.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thank you, and greetings back from Oregon! No, don't have a whistle simply because Search and Rescue here puts up a plane immediately. Put up smoke, your home.

[@michaelnasser8697]

@@ochocobushcraft1742 I mean no disrespect when asking this, I’m assuming you have a cell signal to call for search and rescue then or you have told someone where you’re going and a time you’ll return? My father taught me over 40 years ago that you ALWAYS tell someone where you’re going and when you should be back. I see very, very few people mention this.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

@@michaelnasser8697 no cell service in the Ochoco mountains. But someone knows my general whereabouts. I live 15 minutes from the forest so I'm out there 52 weeks a year regardless of weather. It's more of a home to me than town. .Thanks for looking out.

[@alf3553]

Wow Dan I really can’t think of anything else I would add to that kit. Definitely a complete setup, other than seasonal items.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thank you!

[@alanrice39]

Very nice kit, you remind me of myself, I love getting out in the early spring scouting around and observing the flora and the fauna, I will be taking my first spring hike soon.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Nice! It has been a long winter.

[@arctodussimus6198]

When I get out to the wilderness, I seldom stay on the trails. And when I do make camp, I like to scout around to check for water sources, or bear sign, or whatever. I always take a scout pack with similar gear. I prefer a small regular pack over the sling pack (I have a couple of Maxpedition sling packs), but this one looks interesting. ESEE 6 is an excellent knife choice. One of my Tahoma Field Knives is always on my belt, with the Brakimo as backup. Although I will carry my Armageddon sometimes too, depending on what mountain range I’m in.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Sounds like are thinking and kits are similar. I used to have the Tahoma. Nice knife.

[@surviveanything4765]

Great kit Dan. Stuff just kept coming out. Got all the fundamentals.

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@killjoy8914]

Have you thought of putting a small tarp for a ground matt in the "CC" pouch in the back. ?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I have a 55 gallon drum liner there now.

[@craigrobertson6082]

Nice review, Dan. Do you not find the over the shoulder bags a little small? Glad it works for you though.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

About right size for a lightweight scout kit. My full kit is a backpack.

[@evenhand7743]

Nice 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Thanks!

[@xderiwx]

When you're packing your kits, do you follow any particular system to make sure particular bases are covered, for example the 10 C's? Or do you just go with what you feel? It looks like you had most of the 10 C's covered but I was just curious. Thanks!

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Not anymore. I walk in the woods every week, year after year. It's just a part of life. Thousands of hours, I just know what I need and what works., BUT earlier on I did use things like the 10c's to guide me

[@ulbushcrafting6592]

What is the reasoning behind carrying….4 knives sir ( 3 fixed and 1 folder ). Thanks!

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Mostly just my love for knives! Two will get you by.

[@chuckconnors7516]

I saw some good things (leather gloves, binos, esbit/twig stove, etc.) yet I missed some things (large triangle bandage, compressed gauze, tourniquet, woobie, etc.). Everything seems well organized. You've probably lived out of that kit for three days, right?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Some of the first aid is in small top pouch. Yes, I'm up in the Mountains every week year round, so I've lived out of my kits many times. Thank you for watching!

[@starlingblack814]

Thanks for the video Dan. The ESEE 6 is a somewhat smaller version of the Junglas 2. Are you downsizing?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Not really downsizing. Often depends on how much walking I'll be doing. Longer walk, I definitely prefer the 6.

[@NobleSavage44]

Do you have a link for the attachment to the ESEE sheath? Looks like it works great.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

I don't have l8nk, sorry, but I'll give you the information Everything is at THE KNIFE CONNECTION . They come right up on internet. #1 leather backer with firesteel loop. #3 casstrom sheath dangler. Ethan is the owner. He can make sure you get the right things. Just mention OCHOCO BUSHCRAFT. I hope this helps

[@planb4252]

Do you carry the waterfilter on your body after use, to avoid damage from freezing water?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

No, I always blow water out, and I've never had one get damaged.

[@planb4252]

@@ochocobushcraft1742 good idea, greetings from germany.

[@GandalfandShadowfax]

Excellent load out in a small package. How much does it weigh?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

12 pounds and water.

[@Fox-in-sox]

I noticed you’re carrying 4 knives. I’m sure you have valid reasons. Would you care to share your thoughts?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Mostly because I enjoy using different knives so much, lol! But I always have at least two, one big, one small for a backup and finer work.

[@ulbushcrafting6592]

I am beginning to think your pulling stuff out of a hole in that stump that’s a lot of stuff.

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

Lol!!! It is, but still only 12 pounds plus water

[@strydyr1328]

Will a cup nest under nalgene in that pouch ?

[@ochocobushcraft1742]

No. The gonex is designed to hold only the bottle, which is what I wanted. You'll have to get something like the Condor water bottle pouch to hold the cup too.
