I have the same Bergen I think - I've a long and short back and a Turtle shell too. I have a LOMO 3 x 3 tarp. I have a poncho too as well as other basha's. A lot of the same kind of thing. I use stuff-bags for water proofing to keep gear inside the bergen, plus the internal bag liner. I got 4 panniers and would only have a camel-bag on my back if the bike (which needs some work to fit new bars, lights). I have been thinking about the B3 - when I have the cash. I've very careful with my kit as the budget is limited at the moment. I use an arctic and the jungle bag as well as a few civvie types. I've had to re-think my panniers altogether - I've now dedicated each to one job, kitchen, bedroom, electronics and clothes etc. I have a handlebar bag that takes the easy to get and use stuff.
I Like the file kit. Insert a couple of different tooth size hack saw blades in that pouch and a chainsaw file for gut hook blades. Consider adding a Old Timer Splinter carving knife. I carry a leatherman multi tool, a old timer Trapper, a P51 and a lighter as everyday carry. I also added a Marino wool sleeping bag liner to my kit. Nice INCH bag setup, I got some ideas👍
@@michaelgatford6194 yes, it's a key with a triangular bit that opens the big commercial bins at the rear of pubs and restaurants where all the food not eaten goes. You can keep alive for days on that as homeless people will tell you. An old gentleman of the road told me. I have one. I used to know one gentleman who came to rear of a pub I worked in down south- I'd stash food for them and meet them on my way home in a park. I hate waste and think no one should be without food, especially around Xmas.
Couple of things i did with my "inch" bag. (Just a bag with survival supplies i carry around even to workor the store) I started out with a light little 15 pound set up. A tarp, blanket, knife, compas food, water. Start out very basic and light and get used to carrying it ON YOU. If your plan is to rely on a car or bike to get you where you need to be your screwed once you don't have it or actually get to the woods. Better to just have a smaller kit you can handle. Put yourself in the middle of the woods or in a shtf scenario with your set up....Can you carry it on you back through winding uneven trails, can you run and fight withit on? Better you have something you can move with and aren't stranded starting at your 60-80lbs pack of greed. Another suggestion, keep your city/area in mind when building your bag. My city has several rivers going through it and i live in Canada. So i limited myself to 2.7 liters of (1 day) of water that i initially carry with me, and 5 days of food. I do have more water carrying capacity incase i do plan on venturing farther away from the 3 major water sources in my area. Long short, be flexible and adapt that's how you survive.
I don't own a British ruck but I have owned Alice packs in the past and can't say I cared for the way they carried, just felt odd. The mediums were also pretty small for longer excursions in cold weather.
Great set up mate, think you've more or less covered everything. What make is that fire pit? Like the look of it. What army surplus site do you use, where I live down south we have a army surplus shop called BDR trading. You may be interested in a goal zero solar/charger flash like, great piece of kit. Like the washing bag to.
Great gear unfortunately the cops would pick you up in seconds carry all that gear if you were homeless on the streets. Not to mention all the others living on the streets.
Instead of having your fishing hooks getting snagged on each other in that bottle. Get some safety pins and put the eyes of the hooks though the safety pin. Keeps them organized better.
What's whit the grayman type of gear u don't want to have a millitary Backpack on u when shtf ppl will try to get ur stuff . Better look like u have nothing
