2023 Bugout Bag System - Cold Weather Edition 🥶 

Quick tip, take 2 pieces of 1” pvc pipe about 5’ long. Cut the rope on your sled in half and run them through the pvc pipe and attach caribeaners to the ends of the rope. You can hook the caribeaners onto your pack and the pvc prevents the sled from sliding and hitting you while walking downhill

everything is so new, beautiful, untested...

Not going to lie this is the first set up I’ve seen that is like mine 🫡 gotta be versatile here in muskoka canada 🇨🇦 +35c too -35c is no joke. I change from a hot summer too a cold winter set up as the weather changes. It’s a big kit.

What I really like about this system is that it contemplates carrying a firearm. Most channels are too afraid of the RU-vid censors to do that, and it makes the load plan completely unrealistic. Who would wander into the SHTF landscape without a firearm?

Thanks for your service ! Your pack is set to just like mine in Washington lots of respect think like you do lol 👍

Love the Caffenated Jellybeans! What about an inflatable snow tube with a bottom? Might be able to ride it down hill, and it doubles as a chair back at camp.

That fish yo-yo was great

Super enjoyable, we have different priorities, but great video

I always say the best knife to have is .... the one you have

You should look at reusable travel vac bags. No machine needed so you can repack your clothes like that when in the trail and not suddenly have more than your bag can pack

Awesome job

Actually, you shouldn't keep a sleeping bag packed up unless yer carrying it. Pull it out of the bag and hang it. It'll keep it's loft for a lot longer. Keeping it compressed kills the loft which means it won't keep you as warm.

For a second there i thought it was Albert Johnson (aka) the mad trapper of Rat River.. 👍😜👍

I live in one of the coldest areas in the USA. I like a lot of your gear but my main issue is that it’s just too big. When temps here reach below zero there are a few things to consider. You must keep your core warm, you must stay hydrated, and you must keep your gear weight manageable. Sweating can be a death sentence. The key is to insulate and layer with appropriate clothing. My cold weather bag is only about ten pounds. It has everything I would need to survive and get home. Cold weather clothing, fire capability, hydration, signaling and emergency food. Living in central Minnesota my entire life, I would consider myself an expert on this topic being that I’ve had to plan and deal with extreme cold weather for decades. In freezing temperatures, you must consider only the core essentials because a 30 pound pack and a ten pound pack might be the difference of actually getting to safety alive while trying to cover miles in sub zero temperatures.

Does U-Haul know you have those moving blankets? 😂 Nice kit, definitely got me thinking.

Good kit, more small bills, two more lighters and mre’s. Sill cock key.

Killer rig. Subd. D😎🤙🇺🇸

Where did you purchase your organizational bags inside your pack? The organizer bag that you used for the fishing gear.

Snugpak zippers suck. If you can get them (not sure the extreme temperatures you have) the Carinthia sleeping bags are pretty good.

Where can I get some mittens like that

thanks for the video neighbor :) - well panhandle dude here so it looks like similar weather and similar needs for this type of pack. I found it helpful as I need a bigger pack as the one i use most of the time is more of the get home type and or fits better with other loadouts to balance the weight Q - are you still happy with the pack itself and its size to allow for some expansion or less stuff for warmer times of the year?

Nice.. the sled is good insight. Might have missed it, but whats the total weight?

Hey my Idaho brother!! Your Kit makes mine look sick. I know that you're in the CDA area, and I'm in the Idaho Falls area. Have you thought about including your clothing you wear during your bugout in the Winter??? The other consideration that I thought you were missing was hydration while bugging out. I have camel packs in my bags, and of course water filtration too. I was also considering using a JetBoil system too because if you can burn saturated wood.

How's the bag hold up? I'm on the lookout for one 👀 what's the weight limit???

Nice boots! Whats the brand?

What kinda sleeping bag are you considering? It's super cold here in Canada and I wanna be prepared

The Fac Track is probably one of the worst ways to go. I had one in multicam and one in their “military green”. Completely empty it weights 7lbs. It wouldn’t fit my complete shelter/sleep system (I’m in NW Montana, I utilize a light weight tarp, hammock, underquilt, and zero degree sleeping bag) plus a change of clothes, extra socks, minimalist cook system, and food. When packed with everything minus my sleeping bag (that wouldn’t fit), it was about 35lbs. I traded it in and ordered an Alps Mountaineering Nomad. The Nomad is between 65L and 80L (roll top) and 4lbs empty. When ounces = pounds and pounds equal pain, the difference when the Nomad has my complete sleep system, plus change of clothes, plus dry socks, plus cook system, and some food is still noticeably lighter than than my Fac was on my back. My AR and lever action fit on the side better than they do with the fac if that’s how I want it. Eberlestock Fac Track Weight - 7.2 lbs Size: 24"h x 10"w x 7"d Alps Mountaineering Nomad Weight: 4lbs Size: 26”h x 14”w x 7”d So with the Alps, I got two extra inches in height (at minimum I assume), four extra inches in width, and both are 7 inches deep, and the Alps is still lighter empty. And if I need it to be camouflaged, I can get a multicam rain cover that weighs about nothing. And the Alps is about $100-$200 less than the Eberlestock.

This is the one thing I hate about canada our weather is any where from +40ish to -50ish. Pretty much gotta keep 2 different bobs around then even then your not prepared since the weather will turn

What tarp do you have?

Can I ask what's the intended use with this bag, like what scenario would you be using this in?

what jacket are you wearing

Are you in north of sandpoint idaho

Shalom

Great video bro. What exactly was the brand of neck knife that you showed in this video?? Where can I get this?? Thanks
