The Outdoor Research Wallcreeper is one of those really neat pieces of kit that many have seen but have no idea what it does. In this video, I demonstrate it features, uses, and drawbacks.
Although originally built for military applications, its multipurpose, lightweight, and rugged construction proves invaluable for serious outdoorsmen.

How are you supposed to have access to your plate carrier or other gear while wearing all of that? Great video!

@KitCreep 11 месяцев назад

The wallcreeper definitely isn’t well suited for integration with lbe. It really is more of a bivy than it is rain gear. The USGI poncho is far better suited for covering you and your kit while still allowing access to your mags, admin, etc. I demonstrate different wet weather tops and bottoms and their relationships with kit in my previous video on wet weather gear. Hopefully that video can help you find rain gear that suits your needs. Great question. Thank you!

Nemo made the companion wallcreeper sleeping bag for this system.

@hatfieldmccoy0311 Год назад

Most of the time, we just said to hell with it and stayed wet. It was either that or sweat to death if you are on a hump or in movement. Now if we were set up in an ambush, or LP, OP or on FOB we would rock it, but for grunts, we spend most of the time soaked, just part of being a grunt

@Mrgoofyoops 10 месяцев назад

Your videos are very well done, useful information. I hope you keep producing videos.

Great for stealth camping, so versatile.. great demo.

@Hitmankiwi 9 месяцев назад

I'd seen these around but never with enough photos or info to get an idea of what it was truly like. Great video showing it's features and limitations.

@KitCreep 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! Glad I was able to help people figure out what this thing is lol

@scottmasson3336 Год назад

Feldjuken from Norway issued to a variety of SFs and well tested. It's even in military manuals.

@gabeallen9319 Год назад

can’t wait to see more! Keep it up

Thank you!

@patslee1394 Год назад

nice adaptable design. the final 13+ min of video shows best config i would use iit for as a shelter.

@BBQDad463 4 месяца назад

Thank you for this video. Great information. Subscribed.

@Cetok01 Год назад

I can foresee having a head net being an essential piece of kit.

@KitCreep Год назад

Definitely. Outdoor research also makes the Bug Bivy. Would probably work perfectly with this.

@user-ci2mn1oy3w 3 месяца назад

get some milsurp trouser blousers for use as shock cords for your tie off points and you'll suffer a lot less tears of your shelter element. I use a net hammock and a couple of Amazon half lb each "cut leaf" type of camo nets. They work really well and can be wrapped around you as insulation, between two of the 1/4 lb each amazon full body bugnet "suits". Wear the assembly as long johns. and they help about 10F degree's worth. I sometimes wear my reflective tyvek bivy and its sheet plastic "envelope' as clothing, cause I hate carrying stuff that only has one use.

@froginthewaves8450 9 месяцев назад

Awesome Video!

@davef5916 Год назад

Seems inspired by the Jerven Fjellduken bags. They are much more versatile IMO if you're looking at a piece of gear like this.

@KitCreep Год назад

I’ll have to check that out

@easygroove Год назад

and they are super robust - saw one guy makin a hammock out of it...

@asmith7876 Год назад

Inspired by? More like bad attempt at making one! 😂

@bd3199 Год назад

Keep up the great content. You have what it takes to be one of the big gear channels. Will you do a BDU review on your raid mod uniform?

@KitCreep Год назад

Thank you! And that video will be out soon. It’ll be more than just a review ;)

@monofox595 Год назад

Helikon Tex Swagman or Hill People Gear MOUNTAIN SERAPE are great. Also for bugs use a head net or similar with draw string.

@alexanderbielski9327 7 месяцев назад

The bivy looks good for if your not looking to fight and the poncho is. If your a soldier your going to be sleeping in mud holes (from what I’ve gathered) or sand holes, some kind of shit hole you will be located. Not great for a bivy but a little hole with a poncho would be alright and let you be fight ready while the bivy would be like if your in a medium permissive environment and are not on some front lines. Those Who want their plate carriers: poncho Those who are trying to be lightweight and sneaky: bivy

@alexanderkopischke8237 5 месяцев назад

ah yes another man of culture

@PaulKamanJr 4 месяца назад

You should try using the Wall Creeper in tandum with the Kelty No Fly Zone.

@journeyman7189 Год назад

An interesting piece of gear. Hilleberg has their bivanorak and Outdoor Research has their Wilderness cover. Personally i'd prefer a tarp and rain gear. More versatile and the weight difference is negligible. Good review! Nate

@KitCreep Год назад

I wish OR would bring back the wilderness cover :( And ya, as much as I love the woodland poncho and WallCreeper, an actual tarp makes for a much better shelter and an actual hard shell makes for much better rain gear. Thank you!

@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82 11 месяцев назад

Dang it looks kinda badass you might scare hikers

@jimf1964 Год назад

It’s very similar to an old European (Nordic) style hunting blanket, or coat…..thing.

@frostygonz Год назад

are u administrative results cousin from the mountains? Awesome vid dude!

@jero37 6 месяцев назад

I wonder how hard it would be to supplement this with some bug netting for bivie format, you probably don't need a huge piece, just needs to be setup to secure to the inside of the hood. Would love an exploration of anti-bug combat!

Definitely has that “high fashion” kinda vibe

@chadwik4000 8 дней назад

6:26 I saw a video of a guy trying to hammock one of these inside a city bus and it looks very much like the guy in this picture I wonder if that was a marketing campaign?

@tom_olofsson Год назад

Interesting.

@jarlvarg13 Год назад

Nice wanted to grab one from varusteleka but to expensive...

They’re crazy expensive on most websites. Gotta hunt on eBay

@ryankolbe365 Год назад

that bivvy looks cool as hell, but i can kiwi my poncho up and it really didnt cost me nothing

@KitCreep Год назад

Definitely cool, definitely expensive. Standard ponchos will always be king

@ryankolbe365 Год назад

@@KitCreep stay at this man, the fact you're aware of the intersection between issued kit and ultralighting(everybody's goal whether they know it or not) sets you pretty far apart.

@jason7033 3 дня назад

That's pretty sweet but the price too high. Pro is very versatile and lightweight. I tell u from experience if I have to lift it up to walk over rocks or sticks. Definitely annoying

@KitCreep 2 дня назад

Haha ya the skirt thing is definitely not ideal. But ya if the price was lower it’d be a great addition to any inventory.

@antoniogomez7914 Год назад

Everything about what is going on right here is pretty strange 😂 9:32

@KitCreep Год назад

Creepy even

@acquisitor1 Год назад

Looks like an Ecotat with less features.

@bigracer3867 Год назад

I keep the plain old poncho. I don’t have that kind of money 😢. For a blanket. ☢️ Donations?

@00xanawolf00 Год назад

I’m scratching my head at this one. It’s just not... practical. A plain non Goretex USGI poncho and woobie seems far more usable, practical, and essentially... makes more sense than this thing.

@KitCreep Год назад

Usgi poncho and liner is more than enough for most applications. This is definitely a technical, specialty item.

@bigsky2111 Год назад

It looks like a knockoff of a Jerven Fjellduken.

@___HH___ Год назад

Oh hell no. At practically $400.00 I can survive without it. That's what our government is doing with our money. (All those $400 hammers and $6,000 toilets can keep this thing company.)

@PrybarCommando Год назад

Creepy

@DonHavjuan 8 месяцев назад

It appears to be terrible at everything. Its terrible for ultralight backpacking too. It really is barely functional for any purpose

@edw9623 Год назад

That is one of the dumbest, most expensive bits of kit, that I guarantee no US special forces operator is ever going to use! Put a pack on with webbing and a rifle and you would cook within a few hundred meters of walking...

@KitCreep Год назад

It’s definitely not designed for movement. The poncho configuration is more for being static in a torrential downpour.
