By far my favorite KZbin artist. Go blackie

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you very much..safe journeys

[@ericletts4072]

Blackie, that was a very good video. Thank You !

[@johnnygeorge8385]

I’ve got the same pack I heated wax and painted it on with a brush then heat gun to really help it sink in. I use the pack independently in the summer and with a large aluminum frame from a vintage backpack in the winter. Makes it kind of modular and the frame is great for hauling wood water etc. cheers on the video thanks

[@DeepOwl1073]

I use the German ruck for day trips and weekends, and a large ALICE for longer trips or carrying winter gear. Great video, Blackie!

[@TheWordtraveler]

Thanks Blackie! Very informative! I also carry a haversack with food separate from my ruck on extended trips.

Excellent. Very well done and interesting !! H.

Blackie, thanks for sharing.

It amazes me how you and others can go camping with so little. It's I have to over pack every time. At the Voo I had a truck bed full and used no more that 20% of it. The beauty of a hammock is you can set it up on uneven or damp ground and I've set mine up in the rain before, set tarp up first then every is under cover to stay dry. Thanks for sharing.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i did the same 25+ yrs rendezvous (southeastern /easter/old northwest)..carried way to much because i was packing a wife..i camped as a boy with very very little..then when i went to voo's i was living out of a packbasket..when wife joined me it grew to a 10X12 wall tent beds boxes..ect..in the end it took 2 hrs to set up..i came back to my roots in woodscraft and now i tote what i need..and very little else..but to be honest on many of these camps i go to now i carry lots of extra gear cause people want me to teach and demo..so i gotta have the stuff fer that..but there is a lot to be said for a haversack and a bedroll a light hammock..and time to wander

[@tomritter493]

Great load out blackie simple and easy with a haversack like you said yup your set ! Its funny how the days of the 40 lb pack and elaborate set up is or seems to be fading ! Take care brother

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

it is..the more you carry in your head..the less B.S. you carry on your back

[@georgegooding57]

Something to wipe with is great, as long as you don't use what a friend of mine did once. He sure found out what poison ivy looks like the hard way.

[@cj_m2477]

Great video and I believe I own that same ruck. I also have two of the NBC containers as well, one is my first aid kit. They are waterproof and keep everything dry. Great video Blackie, thank you.

[@davidherrick6245]

Great info. Thanks Blackie. I always get a lot out of your vids.

[@YaacoubKari]

great channel 👍 and nice videos

[@Jenjo21701]

Love the vids. Would love to see the poncho set up as an under quilt. Just got a Hennessy and had it out for a few nights. Love it. Also more kukri Vids. I learn a ton from you

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i will try and do a video on that from a upcoming campout out..keep watching

[@larryeddings3185]

Nice kit.

[@toddgibson9861]

Enjoyed....great video...!!

[@kevinobrien2550]

Another great video. Just one question. Do you know of a backpack for larger people? I always find the waist strap is too short.

[@scottsmith6571]

I like the ll bean continental ruck sack test one

[@cephasmcpher67peteroutdoorspip]

Great video Blackie. I also have the German Alpine Ruck and it's a great pack. But I have a question, you mentioned carrying your food in your Haversack, but in your gear load out all you had was a spoon, what do you cook with?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

canteen cup set..is my cook set usually..so it rides on my hip and the haversack with the food rides outside as well

[@UuddlerLeRoyBaStart]

Blackie. I've been following, and watching your videos for some time now. Every now and then I'd hit a run of about 5.. But the other night I went on a binge. You've been making these since 2010? Lot of good stuff, keep it up my man. Good stuff

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

actually 2009..yep 10yrs..and i am just getting warmed up

[@swampfox7110]

What about, what about... Great video as always.

[@robertmiller8578]

I like the pack and the system but am wondering why the dry bag is inside out because when I was in the Marines I was drilled in to always have the green side out because it makes it more water proof and easier to remove when getting the pack cleaned and re water proofed or did you find it better the way you have it. Please let me know I am very interested.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

in the marines and in the army it was as you say..however..with pulling stuff in and out the rubber liners is worn off to easy..so i put it inside out so the nylon side is to the gear and it will not develop holes as easy..then it does i patch with good ducktape on the rubber side

[@MAXCOBRALAZERFACE]

lol I have that same German rucksack. I keep my entire half shelter setup in it.

[@Moroni108]

Blackie Thomas is "The Man! The Myth!! The LEGEND!!!" Thank you for the video Sir! :)

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thank you for your kind words...safe journeys

[@scottsmith6571]

I still like the haversack

[@jenniferbauman4802]

Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

same to you

[@AbdelkaderBenRhouma]

Thank you for sharing. Very informative.

[@robertmiller8578]

I see never thought of that good idea thank you

[@boomshanka8743]

Blackie have you seen the tiny folding table from Cascade Wild? I use mine all the time, it has earned a permanent place in my woods bumming pack. Highly recommended.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

i have seen those and they would be good kit..i am lucky and in my woods there is plenty of deadfall to woodscraft a quick table when needed

[@levicaddell1077]

Nice basic loadout... not too different from what I carry. My 3 sesson pack is never over 20lbs and that is with water and cook kit. The are usually plenty of water sources around here so I never carry more than a liter. Food depends on where and how long I am gone. I too keep it separate so that it can be hoisted out of the reach of critters. If you carry food in your pack your pack smells like food and can attract vermin and critters. I learned that lesson when I ended up with a pack full of ants... and they were hard to evict. Lol Blessings... later.....

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

me too i hang my pack on the tree next to my hammock..food is hung in another tree often in the haversack or a dry bag

[@toneyjohnson8910]

Thanks for sharing your load out.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

your welcome i will post a video on my white tarp shelter for ya this sunday

[@georgegooding57]

All of your videos contain so much information. Thank you for that. Question for you, do you live near a military base? I always hear a lot of air traffic.

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

yes i am right beside the biggest helicopter base in the u.s...at the lake i am at the turn around point for the bomber base at montgomery..the navy base at pensacola..and the choppers from ft rucker..sorry for the noise..i grew up with it and dont really notice till i hear it on here

[@Eurotrash4367]

7:10 - You have toothpaste and Fixadent denture paste...........I'm confused. A person may need one of these products but not both at the same time.

[@YAFFE-]

Can you fit a 32 oz water bottle in one of those side pockets?

[@xyzxyz8911]

I keep a 1 l Vargo titanium bottle in one pouch and a Boundless Voyage titanium bottle in the other pouch. Not sure about Nalgene or Klean Kanteen as they seem to be tad thicker.

[@hardtrooth1776]

I noticed that t my m65 pants have some long web cords in the side pockets what are they for?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

they are used to tie around the pants to keep them from flopping when on the march

[@DJ-dt4kz]

You almost said woobie 😁

[@jmh7884]

How About the food you would take on say a three day trip

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

food for 3 days would usually be..breakfast: tang for oj to get blood sugar up..oatmeal made in canteen cup..fruit cup for a change up..lunch tuna lunch kit /crackers and spam single..small can of thick hearty soup..supper..shepards pie in canteen cup..( instant chili /instant potatoes..topped with a sweet muffin mix)..camp taters..( fried spam chunked up with instant taters and a bannock bread)..woodsmans stir fry.( summer sausage fried with small head of cabbage and a small sweet onion..and a packet of sweet sauce from the chinese take out place....snack..poptart..pork skins..M&m's..fruit cup..drinks..few drink powders and teas..if winter hot choc

[@jmh7884]

That would make a great video

[@treerat6959]

No clothing other than socks?

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

the rain set is pants and a jacket..if my clothing gets muddy or soaking wet i will change into that and then clean and dry my clothes

[@treerat6959]
