You should include some water purification tablets and a water bag. They are super light, not very bulky and are a good back up for your filter. A fire isn't always an option. This is basically the same as my emergency kit except, I keep my Leatherman sidekick in the bag, a better knife, a silky pocketboy, a signal mirror, bear mace, a pocket fishing kit, wool hat, spare socks, warm clothes, sun screen, coffee and about 2 lbs of food (oatmeal, self-raising flour, salt, dried beans, instant mashed potatoes, bullion cubes, mix of freeze dried vegetables and freeze dried meat). Having been stranded in the woods on 2 occasions (injured once, lost once), food is important for morale and morale is the most important thing for survival. If you give up, nothing will save you.

@CyFoxDen 5 месяцев назад

I agree with this. I've similar 'getting stuck' scenario

@Icehandicehand 11 месяцев назад

Great kit. For shelter I hear of 3 things: Something over you (you have the poncho/tarp), in something (you have the emergency bivy) and have something under you. How about a heavy duty trash can liner? Could keep you dry and off wet ground, could be filled with leaves or grass to act as insulation and would take very little room in the pack.

@Hike-ALOT 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for checking it out. Yeah in a lot of my bags I carry one. It sort of depends on the season I'm out and about that I cycle stuff through.

@michaelmeyers4950 11 месяцев назад

Solid kit. I would: - Add an 4'' israeli bandage - Add a SAK with a metal file (striking surface for matches) and a saw - Add a wool beanie if you had to actually stay the night in the bivy But: solid kit. Love the idea with the greyl attached on the outside!

@Hike-ALOT 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for checking it out Michael. Much appreciated. Man I'm about as bald as you can get. My head freezes. I don't leave home without a beanie. It's usually on my head constantly from October through April.

Have the same size pack but figured out how to position the pack sideways by placing on opposite shoulder, the way your pack is configured, turn upside down then place on opposite shoulder and pack ends up sideways across your lower back, left side. This frees up room to I can also carry a bedroll for shelter and hang the water bottle on the bedroll strap. Bag has First Aid, 2 days food, hygiene, poncho. Bedroll has torso size insulation, jacket, gloves, pillow rolled up in a top quilt, then a 6x8 tarp wraps around the outside. That's my Hobo setup.

@Hike-ALOT 8 месяцев назад

I will have to try that hang. I’m intrigued now.

@MrFTP Месяц назад

Might want to swap that blue bandana for a brighter color, for use for signaling or a trail marker (so you can find the trail again after going off trail for a "nature break") :-)

@Hike-ALOT Месяц назад

Yeah most of the time I have a red or orange in there but they get dirty and today what was clean was a blue one.

@cathytighe652 2 месяца назад

That's a great hiking kit. Thanks for sharing. I always have my bandanas, and a cat hole shovel and water and salt tablets. But I find I'm always foregoing the other gear to make room for my toys for playing in the woods. Like my boomerangs, slingshot, fishing magnet, camera gear, smoking pipe, sketchbook, and also need a lot of empty space for any sheds I find.

Good kit Ray! Good idea to have a vehicle kit too Of course, some essential items are carried on the person Yes, the 10-Cs are a great method for making sure that you have the essentials. But I teach the 10-Cs, I add 3 more Cs: Charging for electronics Care for first aid/bo-bo kits Calories for food, meals and snacks

@hafensanger0821 6 месяцев назад

The moment you attach equipment on the outside of your bag, you need a larger bag. And I would always prefere a “normal” bag. In case you have to walk a long distance, a bag with two straps will be better. But in general a nice collection.

@Hike-ALOT 6 месяцев назад

This one is light enough that I routinely day hike 10 to 12 miles with it without issue but do swap over to a traditional day pack when winter gets here and I add a little more weight and need more space.

@Two_Names Год назад

Nice little kit. It's a good basis for folks new to just going out and walking to have in mind when building a tidy little bag for themselves or to throw in their car. I'm surprised at the lack of robust first aid though. A little Snakestaff Systems tq is a bit over an ounce and you've got plenty of room for it. A swatt tq wrapped around some gauze for pressure + packing isn't much either. All three would easily fit in your loadout, add a few ounces, and give a couple layers more of emergency care to help you get back out of the sticks.

@Hike-ALOT Год назад

Oh I EDC a CAT TQ on my person so I don’t consider it part of my hiking kit. It’s always either in a cargo pocket or on my belt. It gets lumped in with my wallet, keys, lighter, and pocket knife.

@RRavencraft 7 месяцев назад

I wonder what the actual cost difference is between grabbing some quality lightweight, compact gear that could serve true EDC or long term use and actually used or preferred for say camping, traveling, like a decent pot, stove, and upgrading few more things I see in this that are actually in my giveaway box, lol, with a more complete shelter with a better bivvy at the very least vs more like Cheap China/Wal-Mart grade. It's probably way too late now with prices triplling for everything and sad for people, especially young people just starting out because like us 10, 15 years or more ago the junky stuff sits, will sit in drawrs and boxes, old bags as anyone interested in the topic will want to upgrade costing so much more now in the long run, overall with both levels of gear. Maybe finding gently used stuff people cant use anymore or leave behind and others sell maybe a good place to look now especially.

@Hike-ALOT 6 месяцев назад

I think it always surprises some people how much can go into assembling a good reliable kit if you have much in it.

@mtnbound2764 6 месяцев назад

im not a fan of sling packs, but im considering something small like a northface mini or similar.

@Hike-ALOT 3 месяца назад

Yeah they are love hate for sure. As long as I can keep it light I like them.

@robertmiller9142 11 месяцев назад

I like the way that you set this up , and I have 4 of the tactical type sling bags that I think would be perfect for this. I am wondering if a first aid kit ( small one ) can be added to this along with some self defence items? And just incase something for game getting just in case? Please let me know or would the bag be to small for this? I would really love to know. Thank you

@Hike-ALOT 11 месяцев назад

There is certainly room for a small IFAK. I daily carry along with a TQ in my pocket so I don't ever try adding those into my bag because they are on my person but there's definitely little bit of extra space but not a ton. If you want one with more check out the Maxpedition Versapack. I love those bags and am planning to do a video on one of those very soon.

@Chase1297 3 месяца назад

I really hate slings/cross body bags. I have that same pack and it just sits unfortunately. I like to use a small daypack BUT I do miss all the organization of something like a maxpedition pack

@Hike-ALOT 3 месяца назад

Yeah I think you either love them or hate them. If I have very much weight in one I don’t like them but if I can keep them nice and light like this set up I actually prefer them.

@feartheoldblood Месяц назад

@allenwurl6245 6 месяцев назад

😂🤣 0:36 I was watching the introduction thinking ultra light hikers were going to see this and say their entire sleep system ways less than your bag and your first comment was “It’s not the lightest bag in the world” 🤣 I just had to comment because my inner monologue was accidentally in sync with your video. I actually clicked on the video because I wanted here your opinion on the bag plus what you managed to stuff in there 👍

@Hike-ALOT 6 месяцев назад

@guadalupeskitchen3734 2 месяца назад

I have a pack just like that and it will push my Mora right off the side if I set the pack on the ground.

@Hike-ALOT 2 месяца назад

Yeah mine did that at first but what I did was add a small paracord loop to the D ring at the top and I clip the knife into it instead of the first webbing loop and then the tip through MOLLE. It lifted the entire knife up about an inch and now sits perfectly.

Incase you do get in the shit, put in the whistle and about 10ft of marking ribbon. You can mark your way to a water source and put some out around where you're hold-up making it easier for rescue to find.

@yeeisme Год назад

Good idea, though that Maxpedition Remora Gearslinger is pretty heavy at 2KG or almost 4.5LB. The Grayl BottleLock™ Hip Pack - 4.5L has a stated weight of 14 oz (397 g) and can hold up to 2 water bottles. For my setup I use the Made in America Hyperlite Mountain Gear Daybreak as my UL Hiker kit, the bag is 17L and weighs only 1.27 lbs. I have been using the Grayl Titanium as a bottle / filter and then the Katadyn BeFree Water Filtration System 1L as my additional water container / filter. Also for your channel name you mean it to be, "Hike A Lot" or "Hike Allot"? Alot is not a word.

@Hike-ALOT Год назад

My remora is not that heavy. It’s dead on the 0.4 kg maxpedition lists on Amazon so its coming in under a pound. As for the name, it’s an acronym hence the all caps…..it stands for Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, & Texas as that is where I do most of my hiking.

@yeeisme Год назад

@@Hike-ALOT AH that makes "ALOT" more sense :D I wonder why it is listed as 2KG as 0.4KG is definitely a UL base weight.
