Basic Survival Kit for Wilderness EDC or Bushcraft 

One thing that I missed in this video was a compass. I normally carry a Suunto MC-2 or an old Silva Scout. I always find it interesting to see what others carry into the woods. Some people get along just fine with a half bottle of water and granola bar, others like to carry 35lbs of gear in a frame pack for 3 hour hike ha ha. Thanks for watching, let me know what your favorite items are to pack along outdoors!

👍👍👍 .. nice 😊. 'EDC' 🙄 .. 'very much of a muchness' as many would tend to believe 😏. That said, like yourself, I have a fascination with 'how / what people do stuff' and your setup has some subtle variations that are well worth mulling over 🤔 .. and mulling is good 😊. I currently live in Switzerland and no longer need to maintain (or can sensibly afford to) a motor vehicle .. the Swiss Public Transport Infrastructure being such that it is no longer absolutely necessary to run a vehicle. It is absolutely First Class .. the finest that I have experienced. Thus, I commute quite a bit and being retired, have the time to do so. Commuting and walking (which includes plenty 'forest time' .. I live adjacent to one) gives me time to observe (and learn from .. which I do) what others around me are wearing, carrying on / with them and doing (the how to). The 'doing / how to' is of special importance for me as one can learn much from watching others doing stuff at which they are good. I get great satisfaction watching a 'craftsman' (all genres) practicing their 'Art'. A Memory .. back in the 70's, as an Underground 'Shift Boss' (Shift Supervisor) on a South African Gold Mine, I spent a fair amount of time sitting on the Underground Sub-Shaft Stations waiting for the 'Cage' (Lift) to transport to another Level (the Shaft surrounding Tunnel Infrastructure was new / still under development and thus was for the time being, the only means of Ingress / Outlet .. getting in or out or up and down between Levels.. aka a 'Single Outlet'). There was a 'Boiler Maker' (Construction / Fabricator / Welder) who used to fabricate steel / pipe work on the well-lit and relatively spacious Shaft Stations for later installation inside the Workings. Some of the Construction being quite complex and intricate .. 8" / 10" / 12" Steel Pipes for 'Make-Ups .. Steelwork, etc, etc. He had two Assistants and his name was Andries aka 'Dries'. A tall, thin, quiet, unassuming and humble Man. Watching him perform his Trade was highly satisfying .. thick steel plating cut with an Oxy-Acetylene Torch as if with a Scalpel, and the Quality of Welds to be seen to be believed! And .. his Steel Pipe 'Makeup Pieces' (measured for earlier, inside the workings under less-then--optimal conditions and then constructed back at the Shaft Station) .. when installed, they fitted perfectly .. every time! Me, sitting on the Station, waiting for the Cage, watching Dries quietly getting on with it .. 'performing his Art', for me, was an absolute pleasure and something that I have never forgotten. My apologies for the long drawn out 'useless information' 😏 .. your Post, besides being interesting and relevant for me, also awakened memories from way back which I felt the need to share (I 'am' retired you know .. 😁). Thanks for the share .. take care ..

Awesome channel. 👍❤ Congrats from Bulgaria.

New sub here. I see that you addressed the compass and whistle issue in another comment. 👍🏼 I find that a good wrist compass helps me navigate without having to stop so often to use the lensatic. I keep a signal mirror in all my kits. Also like to have a magnifying glass in my fire kit. And maybe a knife sharpener. I also like to have a toothbrush. Other than that, yours looks like a well thought out kit. I tend to be tool-heavy. Not that I need everything, but just for convenience. The get-home bag in my jeep only weighs 19 pounds. I live 16 miles from where I work, and only 4 of those miles are in the city.

If Your Not Prepared to Live Like a Hunted Animal... Your Not Prepared at All. 😐

Luke 3:9 *For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down and cast into the fire.* Beautiful quote on your morale patch there. Would you show us how you use your toggle to set up a poncho shelter?

nice video, that backpack is so nice. Ill add a mat to sit on, an air pillow and a compass, and perhaps bring my walking stick that also act as pole for my tarp . Kudos for a great vid, learned a lot!

Proverbs 14:13 Laughter might hide your sadness. But when the laughter is gone, the sadness remains. ‭Ecclesiastes 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter; it may sadden your face, but it sharpens your understanding. When you have sorrows be happy because it sharpens your understanding. ‭Ecclesiastes 7:4 Someone who is always thinking about happiness is a fool. A wise person thinks about death. ‭Proverbs 3:7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. Do not be wise in your own mind be humble and think of others as better than yourself. ‭Proverbs 3:7 Don’t trust in your own wisdom, but fear and respect the Lord and stay away from evil. ‭Proverbs 25:20 Singing happy songs to a sad person is as foolish as taking a coat off on a cold day or mixing soda and vinegar. ‭Ecclesiastes 7:10 Never ask, “Oh, why were things so much better in the old days?” It's not an intelligent question. If you want to know the Truth follow Jesus.

I’ve got the same bag great kit thanks for sharing!

What I carry depends on my purpose outdoors. I can easy be the 35lbs guy or the granola bar guy. This was a cool video to see what you choose to take with you

Very similar to what I use but a ground sheet for me is very important if its raining I don't want to sit on something wet

Ah. No shemagh or bandana? Interesting.

Great inventory. One question, what’s the purpose of the ear plugs? Thanks.

I would add a stainless or titanium canteen cup for that nalgene canteen,

The important to remember, lightweight, one month supply, because of you lose

I really appreciate your content and your frank, honest, authentic approach.

👍🇲🇾

Bug reppelent for summer time. Great video. Learned alot thank you

I like your backpack.

love the bellows and skewers, might have to steal that idea. would love to see a vid on the line with toggle, i use one as well with a bowline in the end, i wonder if that's what you have as well and what uses have you found for it. Have a great day :)

That’s looking pretty lightweight! Spare Socks, Bandana, 2 Heavy Duty Garbage Bags and 2 Instant Oatmeal would raise your survivability for a few more ounces.

Thanks bud

This looks okay for a day pack in mild weather! I'd rather have the 35lb.+ for any hiking because then when it's actually needed I'm used to it and have it! I hike in the Colorado Rockies and I have experienced (on the fourth of July) a sunny warm morning about 60 degrees that changed (going up the mountain) in less than an hour to below freezing and a very sudden snow storm! I throw on my poncho, hid under a pine tree and waited for the storm to pass which it did after about three hours with the temperature going back up to about 50 degrees and everything wet! Without my gear, I would have been uncomfortable at best; yes, I did learn this by experience! I would add a wool blanket, a tarp for shelter (if your poncho is your shelter then you're stuck in your shelter in bad weather plus it adds an extra layer of warmth) and this allows you to have a 'base' camp so you don't have to carry everything on every little detour (just your 5-10Cs), like following a fresh animal track! And finally, FOOD, yes, you can survive without food for several day but why be deliberately hungry when you don't have to be! I like the skewers idea as it would be great for cooking small game and fish! Thanks for the video!

Good to see you again my brother

Plastic gloves is what I forgot for my med kit. Thxz

Thanks for sharing. Sweet little trailhawk.. I started modifying one a few months ago that needs finishing. Haven’t decided about how to make the leather mask. How short is your handle cut ? I would be interested to see how you deploy your ridge line for the poncho.

smooooooooooothest like request EVER, kudos brother

When ever I go out hiking one of snackes I like to carry are tootsie rolls.😊

Nice kit, like that pack, got you subbed

In my chuck box I have 2 of those bbq skewers. But they are the wire kind. I finally picked up 2 of those pie irons. Looking forward to camping this Season 👍🏻

I like your kit. Very organized with plenty of space for more without a lot of weight. Good job on this one !

Hey hey ... mooie tas met gear , ik herinner mij dat jij (een tijd geleden) een andere you tube naam had .. ZEUKI I , kan dat kloppen ?? maakt niet uit , ik ben blij dat je weer terug bent , heb overigens al je video's gevolgd van Zeuki I was en is zeer interessant ... grtz. Janneman uit Nederland ...😃‼

Nice bag bro

Entire EDC video without the words “items” or “survival situation!” You are a master! We watched it 2x. Love how you carry the spork, I have had a mild annoyance with this in my cook kit for a while.

Is that the trailhawk? What length handle you go with these days?

First Aid Kit? It is really just a basic kit. But without a IFAK it is not complete.

What is the orange thing?

Great kit. Love the bag!

Nice video,keep it up

Thankyou 😊

That pack looks brand new and unused…Mine on the other hand looks like its travelled the world and back.

Very sensible

How many Kilogramms is that in total?

Great kit great presentation nice gear who makes your fire kit pouch great size and like the orange inside please let me know thanks

ТЕБЕ СКОЛЬКО ЛЕТ ?

that might suffice down to 60F, as long as there's no wind or rain. In other words, your cover element is COMPETELY inadequate. A 1 lb net hammock removes the steep hillside issue, as well as mud, snow, rocks, thorns, bugs, snakes, roots, brush issue. Another 3 lbs of the right gear will have you sleepin ok at 34F, in wind and rain, in just cammies, unlaced shoes, 3 pairs of sock liners, gloves, balaclava and shemagh. This includes a couple of camo nets and bugnet "suits", which have other uses, but can be worn as "longjohns" With about a bushel of dry debris (ideally, tall grass) you can be sleeping ok at 20F or hiking ok at 10F. If you've got a jacket and longjohns, you can take that temp down another 10F degrees.

Aaaaaand none of this gear looks even slightly used.
