Modern Military 20lb Bushcraft Kit jääkäri m, jerven fjelduken 

That is some pretty cool gear that I never heard of before .

Thanks for watching. Will follow up with a similar loadout using older mil surp and shoot for the 20lb range.

The Jerven Fjellduken (Wolverine Mountain cloth, litterarily translated) is truly a magnificent piece of gear. I have used them since 1992 or there about, and have two different versions of it,.The Original one and the Hunter extreme, the latter is the old "short" iow 200 cm version and was bought around 1997/8. Jerven also has or had tent endings for it, so one of the large duks with the ends makes for a somewhat roomy, unfloored tent, which heats up nicely with a basic kerosene storm lamp.

↟↟Awesome kit Jess😎👍🏻 Glad to see You again Bro✊🏻🐺🐾 Cheers🙌🏻✨

I Added 2 Savotta Vertical Large pouches to My S J Medium last Spring. Adds more Liters for Winter Camping. Great Vid 👍

Came here from corporals corner, and liking what you do.

I was so happy you keep your ever present Palatka.

Last winter I slept outside in a Carinthia defence 4 bag on top of that Savotta ground mat in minus 25* temps with snow and was perfectly comfortable all night. No fire , no tarp , just in the bag on the mat. I was wearing Swazi fleece Bushpants and a varusteleka Sarma merino L2 long sleeve . I’d say I could’ve comfortably and safely gone down to 40 below with that setup by adding a base layer to my clothing. Living in Canada I’ll probably go try that in 40 below this winter !

When weight matters, 20 pounds is roughly the right idea. You have the perfect Grunts G.P. loudout. You should try and compact that load to a smaller package, that can be done without sacrificing your kit you have now.

Very well thought out, thanks for sharing.

cool setup ,doesnt look to heavy despite being tough mil kit , thansk for the great videos ✌️

Nice job mate, thanks for sharing

Really like that load out. 👍

Good stuff ! Looking forward to the next video! Thanks for sharing Jesse

Definitely gave me some ideas for mine, thank you for it

Thanks Jess. Keep on keepin on!

Excellent content!

Spend last night stealth- and tarp- camping for the first time. I slept on the fdf pad and it's way comfier than it looks like (but still not super comfy). I was surprised with all the width it gave me.

That's an awesome kit. I like the minimalist and versatile concept of the items. Very functional and basic, but comprehensive kit. Thanks for the video and for sharing your thoughts, ideas and experience with us.

That's a great pack and kit! Thanks for sharing!

Love your channel, dude. Keep the good content coming.

Thanks Endurance Room. Drawing a line between all the possibilities, shows I'm still on the right track. The order of your kit is exceptional snd seems to have become the way to go

Another great one!! I’ve missed this

Cool gear!

Nice setup

Nice . Enjoyed that . You have some interesting bits of kit there . I have a few of those things ( pack and sleeppad ) and they are excellent. Take care 🏕👌

Nice kit Jess, thanks for showing all of what you have in it, always helpful. I hope that you will do a video on using a medium Alice pack. Thanks for the video.👍

Hi Jesse! Great gear, thanks for showing! All the best from 🇦🇹🤠👍

Good kit Jess!

I love the setup. I've been altering and evolving my medium ALICE setup in the same way. I'm a tad bit heavier but once I get a sewing machine that should change.

Nice job well presented Jess, I use a viking condor 65ltr patrol pack fully loaded for summer 12kl. I like your universal flexibility, great share. Thank you from Scotland. Harry

I love my Savotta Jakarta medium pack, I did add Maxpedition shoulder strap pads to it.

Australian hoochie combined with Swagman roll and pom basha for tarp works ok throw in a hammock and bug net / puting on the rtz / cheers

Thanks my brother 😊 Nice little pack! I too have a smaller pack for summer. I strapped it on, middle of June, and had a blast testing it out for a few nights... But getting my winter pack into ship shape has been creeping into the forefront of my mind as of late though 😅 I like being prepared 😁 🤷🏼‍♀️ Great to see ya again... I pray all is well with you & the family 🙏🏼 I think we have some very rough seas coming up just ahead, so stay sharp & armor up Jess 💪🏻🗡️ All my love dear brother 🌿

Brilliant video Jess everything you need and under 20lbs and it’s amazing gear 👍 I definitely overthink and over pack my pack is probably around 40lbs I definitely need to get the weight down . Recently I bought a get out gear down quilt so this will definitely cut the weight down and I definitely recommend it . Hopefully see you doing a overnight video soon all the best my friend stay well 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🔥🥩🍻

I really enjoy your channel. Thank you for sharing

Excellent video.👍

Great video. Looking forward to the more budget friendly version lol.

You snuck this one in while I was at work. it wouldn’t let me comment the first time I watched it. I really like the ground pad . Great video brother. Glad you’re well. Stack it high and stack it deep

Digging this simple setup i have a few ideas for some changes to make it work in my area

Hi there Jess .. 👍👍👍 .. another good one .. thanks for sharing. A nice gear loadout .. simple but practical. Those Norden Countries make really awesome outdoor gear. Practical, robust .. perhaps not with the amount of 'bling' and 'comfort' associated with Products aimed at Western Markets but boy, they do what they were designed for and more. Work Gloves .. an idea. Fabric Loops and Brass Grommets as Attachment Points. I have attached one variation to my one pair and the other to the other pair. This allows me to hang my gloves on my belt or pack .. thus allowing for easy access AAWR. Closer to home .. I recently received my Savotta Jääkäri S Backpack from Varusteleka. It came with the two Side Pouches .. the '4L'(itre) Version and a Sternum Strap that I ordered with it. WOW I am impressed .. the Quality is to be seen to be believed! These guys know how to make stuff. Presently, I'm having a glorious time 😁 playing around with various setups .. including ways to get some of my current non-molle gear to fit. Have already had a test run down to our local Migros Supermarket to pick up a sizeable batch of groceries and .. 👍👍👍😊. The pack (sans side pockets) is also EU Air Travel Cabin Bag Size Compliant. I'm currently working on the Visa to travel to the UK 🙄😏 to visit my son and family and to finally see my first Grandchild for the first time (she will be turning 2 this year .. this Covid BS scuppered previous attempts 😖). The pack should make for ideal Cabin Baggage. I can store the 4L Side Pockets (loaded up with the usual Carry-On Suspects) inside the Pack during the flight and thereafter, when required, transfer them to the outside for the additional capacity. Back to the Norden Gear. Jess, yes it is expensive .. but! As you said, it'll last a lifetime and it more than meets it's design intent. My one 30 litre Day Pack (bought some years back from my local Military Surplus Store .. a 'Store Brand Name' and prematurely showing its age) .. that pack is already down in the basement into storage (I don't readily immediately discard stuff that I've replaced .. have to 'mull' over it a bit 😏. Perhaps, inter alia, if nobody else can get good use out of it, there could be bits and pieces thereon that may come in handy later). Knowing what I know now, I would have bought then, this Jääkäri Pack (with Accessories, at close to four times the price) instead of the Surplus Store Version, without blinking. Once again my friend, a good share .. always nice hearing from you. You and the Family .. take care .. Tommy

Hey Jess, thxs for sharing ... greath video !! grtz. from Holland , Janneman

Had my bag for a year+. Only gripe is I wish I could get into the top from the outside. Other than that, I absolutely love it. Nice gear base too, also very similar to what I keep for Colorado

Glad to see U !

Separating the bag is actually a good idea, now you have a container for foraging and tinder gathering.

Nice

Good looking load out Jess! Hope you guys are doing well 🤠

Terrific efficiency! I'm very inclined towards packing and carrying a daily list of must haves and this is a super example of such a set up. For both wilderness and urban survival, I believe in simplifying a set up to the absolute must haves and this video is a great example of such. Terrific as always brother!🤙

Cool rig you got there matey. Simple but functional. Can't wait for the follow updated kit. We always get great ideas from your show mate. Cheers for sharing. Could you do in the near future all the modification/addition you've made to your packs, tools etc.? Greetings from Australia.

Love my jakaari m :D

Video and audio quality super clear, like 4k…. Walking shots smooth… That German faluka is killer. Definitely going to search for one. Sweet vid brother. D🤙🇺🇸

Nice Pack Jess, we use the same sleeping pad, ratnik and Palatka, LOL Safe Travels

Nice one man! I found a jaakari S, 2 large verticals, 2 medium horizontals on a second market here in Australia for really cheap (very rare). Stuck the two horizontals on the belt of my jaakari L and the verticals on the jaakari S. Tried to get the heaviest stuff into the belt cause the S isn't the best at carrying heavier loads with such thin straps. Hopefully gonna give it a spin this week.

Although a super boring purchase, i try and leave a little room for a First-Aid Ensemble, and a Tick Remover. Oh, yeah and a couple of Aspirin or Ibuprofen. Light weight but always left behind.....Cheers!!

Great ■ Bag; total pack

Forgot to mention, you've got a good channel here. Also, I know I live under a rock, but I had never heard of Savotta before. Checked out their website, and sadly for my bank acct, I think I'm hooked. 😁

Just for the info on the Savotta FDF sleep pad was worthy of a thumbs up. I’m at a loss with ground dwelling and this pad sounds like it could help me out a bit. Good price too. Cheers 😉👍🏼

I have quite a collection of surplus gear. I'll be honest, my closet looks like a surplus store. I'm a big shoulders guy so some pieces of soviet surplus I want aren't available in my size. I don't fit in mummy bags so I have to find what fits me. One piece I bought because of your videos was a palash palatka. I have discovered the magic of the woobie mixes well with the sorcery of the palash. I use it for a sleep system down to 40 degrees.

Totally agree I've been keeping my lightest weight Palatka as a staple in my summer kit for all you mentioned I would double it as a bivvy if needed for extra warmth or just fire protection to my lightweight synthetic stuff meanwhile I'm trying to get us much quality gear I can afford 😀 haha 😁✌️💚✊️🔥

👍🏻👍🏻

Jess wats up bro,,it bein a some time now,,,i havent see you whos the miss,,,,up state is teeating yoa ok its nice to see one more bushing bro,,nuce pack i like . Im steal rocking the alice,,,,,have see that hairy guy have u?

🤙🏻

Thanks for the vid! I have a jääkari M and was thinking about getting a cheap tarp to my kit and I come across the fjellduken hunter. Oh boy, the need is real. Is it worth it thou? It's realy pricy. But I could use it for hunting as a poncho. And when camping as a tent or tarp to complement my light weight sleepingbag. So I can see the use for it.

Thank you for the thoughtful content. I see that you have a cook kit with spices and such - but where is your food procurement equipment, like a fishing pole, sling shot, or pellet gun? Thanks again.

Hey Jess, between the jerven and the Sarma thermal cloak, which do you prefer? Which one would you say is more versatile/worth the money as both seem like a decent investment

If you start putting links to the items in the description that would be great!

Awesome video where did you get the jerven fjellduken hunter?

Awesome kit bud! Where were you guys able to find the Jerven bivys?

2:51 Don't sit on it! You're gonna damage it. At 9:06 you can clearly see the inner loops have the most tension. If you fold it too many times in that one spot eventually it will break. 9:38 That stick should have a rolled up sock or a rag on the contact point with the tarp so you don't scratch it and eventually tear it. You shouldn't need it at all if you tied it up to the trunk of a sturdy enough tree. 11:42 If you throw cotton on the ground... wouldn't that soak up all the moisture? Especially if it rained in the last day or so. Maybe place a few garbage bags under it? They're thin enough to prevent that and weigh close to nothing.

Thanks for the video. I checked out the FDF sleeping pad at Savotta, their site rates the R value at 2. Is that the same pad? I really like the idea of the ground cloth and sleep pad as a single unit.

Some Euro mill surplus kit is very good, some terrible, (like all surplus I'd assume). The prices of Savotta start to put you in to high end US hunting pack companies. Was there a practical reason for choosing Savotta or just what you personally fancied?

Hi I wanted to ask you more about your load out. I live in more of an arid/hot area where I need to carry water rather than being about to stop and drink at water sources such as creeks and streams (Filtered water), so therefore my pack weight is much more than I would like it to be. Question have you ever modified a camel pack/hydration carrier using pouch attachments to it with all the mentioned equipment in your video? And if so what hydration pack would you feel would be best to do mods on? Cheers. Drew.

Can you put out a full list of all of that stuff?

Hey Jess, I am trying to purchase some of the Russian and Finnish gear that you carry. I love your entire gear setup. I went on some of the websites, but because of the war in Ukraine, most sites say sold out. Could you give me some advise, on where I get get my hands on some of this gear? Thanks, Lou

That jacket you had looked cool, what is it called?

Which Jerven do you use? I see there are different versions?

Please share a link to the rain gear bivvy you spoke about

What's that brown cloth ground sheet

Can anyone spell out the shelter/tarp and ground cloth (lying under his gear) for me? I can‘t seem to find them from what I understand.

Your audio got all jacked up

Guess you like misquotes lol

G'day! Haven’t seen you in a while, but I’m glad I caught you today. I just picked up a Dutch surplus 3 day assault pack from Varusteleka (?) for $60can, and it’s really pretty awesome. Just needs some foam or something to give it a little rigidity. The folding German pad works well, but I’m sure there are better choices. It has plenty of straps, attachment points, awesome shoulder straps, even a hip belt that works to take the load odd the shoulders. I’d recommend it to any viewers who can’t afford the pack you have. Did you do a video, or do you know of a review on that German bag/bivy
