Wow, RESPEKT 💪🏼 A Big Ass hike, 3 days without food... 😮 Thats A LOT! I am already getting fukked up after half a day without calories 😂 ... Maybe i should get Out of my comfort zone and give fasting a try! Good thoughts on how fasting will Help to get used to what Will come after the Hammer Drops. I am A Big Fan of your Organisation. Spieder web, survival pods, 6 shelters... That are the Big things. Also Love the Small Things Like your Rucksack, that are Always very organised, thats good! I learned it in the Army too and try to make it the best i can. Great Video again Mate, Well done 👏🏼
Dude it SUCKED. I was fine for the first 4 miles but my energy dropped like a stone in water at about the half way mark. I literally remember it feeling like some unplugged my power cord and I was w/o power. I even started to get really dizzy a few miles from my vehicle. Its gets harder the older I get. and thnx man!
I did a 10 day fast with the wife last spring for Easter, longest I’d been without food was 3 days previously. Biggest positive for me was less inflammation in my shoulders and elbow joints. Felt more agile and alert till about day 5 and got weaker from there. Biggest con was headache for me and noticeable weakness by the end, as well as my irritability went through the roof. Thanks for the video
10 days is a LONG ass time! Well done, old friend! Well done indeed! Others have mentioned the head ache. I know it too well! I dunno how I forgot to mention that symptom too! and you're very welcome. Thanks for your support over the years!
@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska Not gonna lie it was rough. Wanted to experiment how I’d perform on the day to day with no calories. Did my normal 50+ hours at work plus chores and such. Biggest takeaway for me was what I might be capable of on say half rations in the field.
Thats actually an amazing stretch, man.. Im super impressed and nothing really impresses me anymore .. 3 days i about my limit but I have ate something small and went a bit father. but not w/o a snack.. I generally eat just once a day as well. You?
that compartment that zips forward that sits against your back. That shit drives me up the wall. I have the Direct Action Dust and it has the same feature. You put a wide style 3 liter water bladder in it and when your pack is full like it's supposed to be; it malforms the padded section that's against your back. It bulges all weird and forces you out of good posture and puts your shoulders in a bench press form. Bad idea when you're rucking and climbing shit. I ended up sacrificing main compartment room for my bladder
Ohhhhh I never use bladders and I remember reading something about lap-tops so i thought that was what it was for. I hate it too. Feels like a have an unneeded layer between me and the rucksack. I'm getting used to it, of course but its there and I hate it. An Entire compartment for a bladder? I get it but it shouldn't have to be that way! One has to wonder who they talk to before they put these rucks together because it sure isn't ppl that use them!
Nice edit bro, detail helpful and of course humble admission of health and mind challenges. Iv found over loading small scouting ruck just brings shoulder grief but with webbing or vest, joy all round. Great Intel. Thanks again. H...out
Interesting observation. Ive always wondered why the padding was so thin in British PLCE rucks. I thought exactly what you just stated- It was made like that with the over all anticipation of it being used with vests/webbing and they are already padded..
Years ago I bought a 'Hawg' small rucksack. I still have it but like you say for your ruck, if I pack the main compartment to full capacity, it's near impossible to fit a full water bladder in the pouch next to the back. It also pushes on my spine in the wrong spots. I had no idea you are a long time practitioner of 'hunger trekking'! I have a friend (retired SEAL) who does the same. Very inspirational, thank you.
Its has a real name? Hunger Trekking? Fuk man...I didnt know that! Yeah Rucksacks are funny. My Becker ruck was the first ruck that didn't acted like that and used it room amazingly well. Sadly the suspension destroyed my back. What a disappointment that was. It wasn't the rucks fault- It just didn't suit my small frame well...
Good morning from Austria! Great video my friend, very interesting. This gave me an idea of what to pack for a three day hike. I am very impressed with your fasting and hiking session because I tried fasting but not for that long because of the headache and I don't think I could do it for that long and with a hike. You're a great guy, Ivarr, and it's a pleasure to know you💪👌. Thank you for sharing and as always all the very best from Austria my friend 🇦🇹🤠👍🏕🔥
Good morning, from Alaska my friend. 6:30AM here..I should have mentioned the headaches! Yes I know them well. And thanks, mate! What a nice thing to say! Very good of you- Made my morning!
I suppose one of those comments was mine and only because I've tried a similar load out in a different pack and it didn't suit me. I was wondering if it was me or the pack. I definitely went overweight and overloaded the harness system on mine. Great video, I was glad to see you took food with you after your three day fast. Your preparation is coming on well, hope you never need it but...
Yeah I always have food on me. Its a standard for a three day load/one day load. I had extra room and should have shoved more in there but I didn't need to. Food could be the dif between life or death with producing metabolic heat from digestion... YES- I was referring to your comment and some others. Not in a bad way- I saw it as maybe I was missing something other were seeing. When such things come from a known friend I don't take it any other way than constructive..
Im not sure how long Ive been doing it. A long time though. I been trying to get the wife to do it too but she doesn't get it yet. She's younger than me and doesn't worry about such things yet. I told her she's better to start now and take my advice on it! Thanks man!
Good shit man, those swagman rolls have always interested me but the price always deters me. Seeing you in flectarn makes me ready to break out my miltec flecktarn smock. Btw I still love the narrator in the videos
I love that thing. I have to fight myself not to use it around the house. I don't remember if I paid full price for mine or not. I know it was new so I probably did for some reason. But knowing what I know now, I think I would have. They're the tits man.. Im digging the shyt out of that narration AI. Its super helpful. I actually was doing a lot of the talking as I went but the AI sounded better so I just over recorded it..
I tried one of those for over a year. Didnt work out for me. Mostly because the pack was too narrow and a PITA to deal with in sub 0 temps with getting shyt in and out of the pack.. Nothing wrong with the pack- It just didn't suit my requirements. Glad yours worked for you- Those are expensive!
Zdravím tě příteli z Aljašky pěkný batoh ve stylu batohů US army pěkné video z výsadku a půst taky občas dělám ne tolik dní už naši dědové v 2 světové válce věděli proč dělat půsty v polních podmínkách,taky se dožily uctihodných roků hlavně přeji hodně zdraví a pozdravuj svého čtyřnohého kamarada ...
that's fucking incredible. Me and my crew were just talking about how our buddy had to leave his food one day fighting fires and how completely haggard he was. Here's Ivar 72 hours, no food, hiking miles with a loaded ruck in addition to gear in his vest
😁 Dude, at the half way point everything just went to shyt. It was like someone flipped a switch and my energy was gone. I think other factors played into that besides lack of food. I was sweltering because of the humidity and that never bodes well for me anymore, but regardless of why, I was in the suck on the second half.. Thanks for your comments man. Always great to read your feedback and have that support!
Be careful with the fasting my friend. Hopefully you still drinking water during your fasting. I do three day fast to reflect and refocus when needed. I will usually supplement my water during fasting with a electrolytes once a day. Thanks for sharing again. Stay strong!!!
Either we solve world hunger or we all get real good at this! Masochistic levels of dedication to bring us this content aside, very thought provoking from the last truly wild place in America.
@Evasion.Survival.Alaska It actually does but I am trying to stay with Pencott Wildwood or Greenzone patterns . Not offered in that pattern unfortunately.
IGood rundown of the dragon egg. Always wondered if it was good. Looks like you have to really add to it to make it work. Interesting information about the hunger games. The addition of sleep deprivation sounds like a whole lot of suck but definitely useful to know how you will handle such things physically, mentally and spiritually. Never done a 72 hr hunger game. Only 24-36. I will have to move on to 48 and 72. Nate
On that Field Craft drill Bjorn and I did, I hadn't slept om 2 nights before we went out and I hadn't eaten either. I think I mention it when I finally got to the survival pod with food in it.. and when we made RON I still wasn't able to sleep but I had food.. Im surprised at the positive reactions Im getting. I should have mentioned this earlier..
@@Ivarr.Bergmann.Alaska Fasting has been in every culture around the world and seems to be gaining momentum in North America in the last few years. what is old is new again.
