Nice, tight and compact, Loose the tube of tape, (put the tape around the lighters) Get a magnifying glass or fresnel lens for fire, An sol bivy, a dynamo flashlight a wire saw, And a knife... I think you should focus more on your sleep/shelter, exposer may be your weak point, But I like your kit,
Swedish Outdoors, I was just evaluating my stump shooting kit. The video is great. IN addition to the comments below I would consider carrying a cutting tool, compass and emergency whistle. I carry a modified Mora neck knife and a multi tool. Great video! Thx PeteA
I've seen several comments that I agree with like adding a cutting tool or maybe a Leatherman or other multi-tool... but I'd also add a bandana- it's easy to carry and has tons of uses. But love the kit.
@@SwedishOutdoor I highly recommend putting 2gether a Belt Kit/Utility Belt as backup/2ndary Survival/Hiking Kit using MOLLE Pouches 4 better/extra preparedness: 1 Admin Pouch whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get it customly filled with Administrative Gear, 1 or multiple/several Machine Gun Ammo/Rifle Mag Pouch(s) in whichever Color ya get it/them that also have more creative/other uses such as store Body Warmth/Firestarters, 1 Dual Pistol Mag Pouch or 2 Single Pistol Mag Pouches in whichever Color ya get it/them filled with 1 Spring Assisted Folding Pocket Knife & 1 Spring Assisted Folding Pocket Multi Tool, 1 Radio Pouch whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get it filled with Radio/Walkie Talkie 4 Emergencies as well as keeping in touch, 1 Flashlight Pouch in whichever Color ya get it filled with Flashlight, 2 Medical Pouches whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get them customly filled up with mish mash (mixture) of 1st Aid/Trauma Supplies & Meds (Medication), 1 or multiple/several Dump Pouch(s) whether Zip Open, Roll-Up or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get it/them, 2 Hydration: Nalgene Bottle/Canteen Pouches whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get them filled up with Nalgene Bottles or Military Canteens, 1 or multiple/several GP (General Purpose) Utility Pouch(s) whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get it/them, 1 or multiple/several Gas Mask Pouch(s) whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get it/them filled with a Gas Mask plus Gas Mask Pouches also make pretty good/great GP (General Purpose) Utility Pouches themselves do 2 their size & 1 Grenade Pouch in whichever Color ya get it filled with an emergency/survival whistle,1 Shovel Pouch in whichever Color ya get it filled with a Collapsible Multipurpose Shovel just in case you're forced 2 ditch your Main/Primary Survival/Hiking Kit from this video somewhere or in case your Main/Primary Hiking Kit from this video somehow/someway mysteriously disappears/vanishes right underneath your nose!
@@lour7299as you imply, yes you should always try to get the same camo pattern or at least the same colors. And everyone knows that sometimes it can be difficult doing that even when buying from one company. What @jaredwiggins539 is talking about is more geared to SHTF situations for when you need to bug out, especially when he talks about having a protective mask(a much better term/item than "gas mask"). He's not wrong about having some sort of digging tool but you could always Bushcraft a digging stick when hiking/backpacking. A small camp shovel would be a better solution than an E-Tool/collapsible shovel for hiking/backpacking as it takes up considerably less space and is more lightweight. It might take you a little longer to dig but that's something everyone has to decide for themselves. Even when hiking/backpacking, the saying still applies: ounces equal pounds, pounds equal pain. Jared's idea of a belt/waist kit would be easily achieved with this kit. The shoulder strap is long enough to be worn around the waist and with the addition of a removable thigh strap, it then turns into a functional rig that can be used with a backpack/rucksack.
Where were you carrying your tea kettle? That set-up certainly is well organized, though after years of carrying a shoulder bag for work, I've mostly gone back to a small backpack or a belt system if the weight gets above a minimum amount; more balance that plays better with an aging body.
+Random Button Pusher Both carry options have their pros and cons, that for sure. But if I bring more gear a backpack is the choice for me too! Thanks for watching! Btw, the kettle I had at the campsite. We had a camp their the night before and stored the camp gear there :)
Random Button Pusher Haha, indeed! But that usually not the case. The titanium cup is the choice when hiking light weight and boiling water. It's a great little cup that works perfect. Take care, Joachim
This is a great set-up. I would add a knife, a multi-tool, a flashlight and a whistle. Also, I would wrap the duct tape around a Bic lighter. Love the pack that you put together though!
Awesome video my friend very relaxing and informative. Love your kit. I’ll be checking out the expedition in there water bottle carrier and attachments. Looks like good stuff.
Amazing set up. I would just only add a knife. I know, i know you have one on your belt. However for me sometimes i am in a hurry to get onto the trail and maybe I forget a knife. That would brother me so much. So even if it's just a small little knife on the outside of the bag i would still be sure to add it.
Very nice kit! Maxpedition makes quality gear. I have that same water bottle pouch attached to my bug out bag. What's really cool about it, too, is that it'll fit a large thermos to hold either hot water for tea, coffee, whatever your favorite hot drink is. Sometimes I fill it with ice cold water 3/4 the way and then top it off with ice chips. The temps here have been in the high 80's and low 90's (Fahrenheit) lately. Having that ice cold water, even 8 hours into a hike, is so welcomed. I've had coffee stay hot for almost two full days in this bag; the combination of the thermos insulation and the inherent insulation qualities of Maxpedition bags is incredible. It's especially nice when winter hiking or camping. Having to wait for water to boil sucks sometimes when you feel hypothermic. Another hack I use with Smart Water bottles is wrap the bottle with duck tape. It seems to protect the bottle from the sun and the water is several degrees cooler than if unwrapped. BTW nice hike and your dog is beautiful.
Super nice kit! I've made a couple similar ones, based on a Maxpedition 12x5 pouch that's kind of an ultra-light kit and a larger one based on a Pathfinder Bottle Bag. The main difference is that I just use a pair of Maxpedition Cocoons on the Maxpedition bag whereas the Pathfinder Bag has a pair of 8"x4"x2" pouches on sides. The Maxpedition Cocoons are small and cylindrical, not a huge amount of space. In one of them I have a fire kit, the other has a Sawyer Mini and water purification tablets. I keep a space blanket, a small multitool, a Ritter Pocket Survival Pack and a few more odds and ends in the front pouch. Lastly I keep an ESEE Izula II on the front pouch, MOLLEd onto the PALS webbing. Obviously there's a water bottle inside! ;-) It has a GSI nesting cup as well. The Pathfinder Bag is still compact but a bit more comprehensive. It's got all the things the Maxpedition kit has and a few more things. I keep a Space Blanket and a Space Bag since there's room for both along with a disposable poncho. I also keep a real flashlight inside (a Surefire G2 Nitrolon host with a Malkoff M61L dropin) and a Mora knife. There's also a small test tube with some sailmaker's needles and a bunch of safety pins. I keep a Thyrm Cell Vault on the bag in the PALS webbing and also a SAK in a MOLLE'd on pouch. Sometimes I'll swap out a full sized multi-tool for the SAK. Naturally there's a water bottle & cup inside this one, too. Either of these is enough for an unplanned overnighter and either is pretty light and easy to carry. Both of them are also fluid, changed any time I run across something that I find that I like better.
Maxpedition gear is expensive but good. A cheaper alternative is OneTigris at a fraction of the price. Their water bottle carrier is very similar. Nice video.
+3b camping&bushcraft I never go to the woods without a knife :) I had my Stephen Wade Cox knife with me (in the belt). Thanks for commenting! Take care, Joachim
+magnus andersson Det är ett bra tips Magnus! Helt klart värt att testa! Enda fördelen med den större rullen är att jag på sommaren får plats med lite fiskkrockar och lina. Då fyller den även funktionen att användas som ett enklare fiske redskap! Tack för tipset!
Nice video, just found your channel and have subbed as I like it very much, the tube with duct tape, you could stuff the black sack etc in the hollow tube, I carry strike anywhere matchs in a sml matchsafe, mini sawyer filter+bag; water in the UK isn't that good, fresnal lense ,sml rite in the rain pad and pencil, brass button compass that pins onto the pouch, sml ti5 torch ,it does fit in them pouch you have as I have the same, hope it helps, cheers craig
I am a little confused. Where did the kettle come from that you were boiling your water with? I did not see another pouch and it obviously did not fit in the pouches you showed us?
Sorry, I forgot to mention a suggestion. I have a plastic see-through poncho in my hiking kit that can double as an emergency shelter. I've even used a plastic drop sheet that painters use as an emergency shelter which cost me $1 at a Dollar Tree. You probably don't have Dollar Tree's or Dollar General's but you must have discount stores I would think. Either would fit in one of your kit's pockets. The poncho packaged is 10mm X 12mm. The drop sheet is larger but it folds down to wallet size. Have a great day hiking!
lol i had to just mess a little bit with you on the food like i said i also have the same bottle thing ya it's kinda bomb proof lol . i also have a gun scabbard its made the same way i use it for my 1919 winchester 1894 30 -30 saddle ring and i can also put stuff on it like you did . i don't take the gun very often because it was my wifes great grandfather's rifle when he was a US Texas ranger in the 1920s so i don't want to scratch it or anything .
Thanks for the great ideas. I have a knock off like that plus some different Moller small pouches that could be hooked up. Appreciate you sharing the info. Keep up the good work. stay safe keep warm have fun and whittle to keep your sanity ;-)
It is actually very practical, I did the same thing with mine except mine is a Pathfinder that includes in the bottle (I put some stuff in it) so we got a ferro rod, waterproof matches, lighter, utensils, head lamp, (redundancy is a good thing), toothpaste pills, multitool kit, knife, mirror, compass. In the little bags, food, protein bars, 550 paracord, whistle, sorry I can put a picture it won't let me.
hello thanks for making this , i have a similar video on my 5 lb survival kit challenge video i have the same stove and snow peaks kit as you have hard to believe how light it is . did i miss something i didn't see any food . i have used the same style setup like you have in the past but i found that the bottle holder and pockets are kinda heavy made and i found i like a small ultralight backpack better because its lighter and i can jam more into it lol a pack rat .
+Dan Leasure Agree with you, there is absolutely other solutions that are more lightweight then Maxpeditions, but I really like the robust feeling of their products! Feels like they are built to last for a very long time! About the food, I had a portion freze dried chicken that I just added hot water to. Ate it before the shoot :) I usually keep it in one of the side pockets though! Take care, Joachim
Wrap duct tape around an old gift card or credit card. Keeps it nice and flat. One for two sideways of 1" tape and one lengthwise for 2" tape. Maybe a third one for orange duct tape.
Next time bring a beautiful Swedish woman instead of the dog. You'll have a better time, she can do your cooking and we'll enjoy the video more. I would suggest that you wear a hiking belt that goes over your pant's belt. Distribute the weight by putting your pouches on the belt. You'll move faster (if you want to) and be lighter on your feet. Your shoulder will also feel better. Thanks for the video. Great photography and beautiful scenery . . . . don't forget the woman next time. Cheers from Tennessee. Happy to subscribe. Sweden is where I want to be born in my next life.
A good quality Poncho is needed to round out your grab and go kit. Weather changes fast and ruins even the shortest of hikes. I would reinforce the carrying strap by using the Poncho as extra padding.
Nice video and a good kit for a day hike.. Some people here suggest you to ad this and that..but than it would be more pratical to take a simple back pack with you..of course
Maxpedition are meant to last. It's funny SwedishOutdoor I purchase a Maxpedition wallet and now suddenly I see their kit everywhere. Good kit bag and contents. All the best. Mark.
SwedishOutdoor Hi there Joachim. I have purchased over the years that much cheap stuff I now only buy what's quality or if its cheap it has to be exceptional somewhere. All the best. Mark.
I like what you did with the bottle pouch kit. I did something like it for Search and Rescue dog work. I added some sewing needles, dental floss and wound seal for dogs and vet wrap to my gadget pouch med kit. Water bottle .75 liter for the dog too.
I may have missed it - so sorry if I did - but I didn't see your knife. I would pack a SAK Farmer in there. In addition to a knife, It has a small saw, reamer and bottle and can openers.
Hi! Yes, I think I didn't show that clearly enough, you see it in my belt in the intro :) I usually has a knife on my hip when out in the woods! Take care and thanks for watching!
Hi Tim! Yes I agree with you, if the shoulder bag is too heavy it can be annoying and affect the way you walk. Therefore I only have mine with low weight type of items. Take care, Joachim
Great kit for the minimalist for a few hours to 8 hours at a pinch. I would add a few boiled lollies (sweets in UK / Candy in USA) for a morale boost or sugar hit. G'day from Australia.
@@SwedishOutdoor Lollies = candy, So Rock Candy would be the same in the USA for you. In the army we were always dropping a few in your water bottles to give you a sugar hit as you moved fast.
Diane jacobsen Hi Diane! In this video I was at a camp site where I had some camping gear already! But if the gsi wasn’t there I use the titanium pot that I have in the pack to boil water. Thanks for watching , take care Joachim
I would recommend wrapping duct tape only upon itself, no core object (credit card, tube, etc.) is needed. Also I didn't see a knife, which should be included for obvious reasons. Finally, i would recommend a compass just in case.
