For an 83 year old Old Schooler like me, your common sense, clear explanations, dependable gear, experience, & skilled mind-set contribute to a COMPLETE PACKAGE! Thanks.

I like the smell of 'deuce gear' in the morning....smells like 30 years of blood, sweat and duty. Thanks Shawn for bustin' ALICE out of Valhalla and showing off her timeless usefulness from the battlefield to bushcraft. Semper Fi!

Ounces = pounds & pounds = pain! Do more with less!! Semper Fi

Over the years of watching you I have learned so much. People laugh at me for making my own survival kit. I buy something every once and awhile. I have a ton of stuff. Thanks for teaching us how to survive. You never know when you will need these things. Thanks

I decided to pay the $150 for one of the titanium canteen kits with some name stamped on it. Its one of my favorite pieces of kit. Love it!!

I use 90s British army gear for bushcraft I switch between a PLCE which is similar to this you have, I also have a large vest and chest rig from the same era. Brilliant gear from sides of the pond 😎💪🤜🤛

Corporal, Sir my wife just gifted me one of your limited edition Hardcore Hammer hatchets, I was thrilled that you had included a thank you note with the receipt, and also a band-aid! It is indeed sharp, arm hair shaving out of the box sharp! Well done Sir! I will be gifting these to my nephews and Godson as their age allows - again, well done! And thank you for all you do!

I utilize a H harness like that as well. The difference in my is the addition of ammo pouches, that are used for holding different things, first aid, fire starting and more.

Respectfully, may I add some old school, lightweight nutritional item options? Jerky, tuna, peanut butter, dried fruit, quality trail mix, powdered Gatorade. Also (even though it's just a day hike) an extra pair of clean dry socks. Finally, a basic first aid kit with items to address the three most common minor medical issues out in the woods: 1. abrasions, cuts, and punctures, 2. skin burns and scalds from direct contact with flame or boiling water, 3. ankle sprains. Thanks for this video, Corporal.

Great video man. I've been watching you for almost as long as you've been doing this. Keep it up.

I always appreciate the unique perspectives you give. I like how the weight appears to be distributed differently in this combination as well. Thanks for keeping it real AF.

So simple it's mind boggling. Thank you sir for video. Keeping my eyes and ears open for your gear drop @ your store. Catch your next drop. Hope California wasn't too rough on ya. Glad you made it back home

Good point on food to eat w/o heating ! I'm really interested in the cord winder ! Looks like a great addition to a pack. Thanks, Corporal, for your clear and concise videos.

Still got my old LBE love it and my old ruck

Even not going into the field I carry a Bic and usually 2 pocket knives one lock blade and one 3 blade pocket knife. EDC

Canteen cup you can boil water, cook in it or use it as a shovel. No right or wrong answer. De Oppresso Liber

Back in the 80s we thru in a pack of life savers

Great content as always. Where were you when I was in the forest service? From my SAR days and FS, my Silva Ranger compass had a cord to pass around a button hole or around my neck. A Buck 119 in stainless steel has now been replaced by a Mora in carbon steel. After dropping and losing the mora , it now has yellow duck tape on the handle. Luminous tape for a night marker on the sheath as well as more yellow duck tape. Now that I've worn off the numbers of my 70z Compas, it will be replaced,and the light cord will have survival cord a small fero-rod . For nav and fire starter.

HAHAHA seeing Spam reminds me of my Navy days, I used to keep a can of Spam and B&M Baked beans in the gun shack for when cooks screwed up meals (which they did often). Also why I never missed breakfast as it was hard to screw that up!!

Pain is weakness leaving the body (nope). Pain is a VA disability entering your body. Semper Fidelis. 👍🍺👊🤘

782 (deuce) gear! Best available for the era! Semper Fi fellow Corporal!

I carry a israel style bandage in case of accidental, fall, knife cut. Pedialyte powder as the heat and humidity here can quickly cause a heat injury.

Sunday seems like a good time for me to get to watch your midweek....you know I like" simple " so I'm with you on this load out. It's so hot here in Alabama a day hike needs to be done at night but it's really still too hot at night. Keep em' churning. Stay Kool.

A couple of other things to think about depending on your situation would be spare glasses and daily meds. A Fresnel or magnifying lens may work as a glasses substitute and a adhesive bandage or two would be good.

Nice video Corporal. I utilise a similar set of web-gear however, mine is Auscam H harness with canteen covers, butt-pack and pouches (small and large) all in Auscam. My canteen covers have a stove pocket and I pack a canteen cup. One thing that I carry extra is a small first aid kit with 2 snake bandages. I live in Australia, so it is wise to pack them.

Great video ! One suggestion : ditch those Y suspenders and get some Old H style , so much more comfortable

Perfect set up for a day in the woods.

“Knives and stabbing weapons!” I see what you did there. Terminator 2 Bravo!

Top video. I prefer my old issue "H" harness because it gives you the option of attaching an extra buttpack, bedroll straps, large med kit, etc... You can use the two spring snaps, or the Alice Adaptor designed for the "H" harness.

Thanks for showing your Harness loadout. I was always wondering what all you carried. Nice, light weight and simple. Thanks, Corporal! Can't wait to see all your different loadouts from your old lists. 👍🏻👍🏻

I'm looking forward to an updated Alice Pack 3 day loadout for camping and/or wilderness trek.

Hell yeah, Shawn. I either found or bought my web gear; my rear pouch I bought, and it's woodland camo (for the win lol). I used it frequently in the field for my poncho only. Thanks for the blast from the past.

I have identical gear in my vehicle. Mine was issued in the USAF in the 1980s.

Thanks for the video See you Sunday.

I still have mine when I got out still use it for the outdoors

i was randomly looking through some of my old gear and i found all my write in the rain notebook i used for jungle school and 1 of the things in it was a list of all the required gear we were required to have for the 3 weeks out in the jungle mountains of central Hawaii. Pretty cool to look over that again

Aside from using the old H style harness and a couple of different things, that's just what I used for ages.👍 Being an old school Ranger in the past, I still adhere to the old saying; "Travel light. Freeze at night.".😅

Great Video. I will be using it to assemble kits for myself and wife to carry when hiking. Thank You

I took regular duct tape 2 in wide and wrapped it around my Bic lighters several times so I have my survival lighters. I made three of them, one in my pocket everyday, one in my go bag and one in my camping gear bag backpack. I also did the same thing with my ferro rods and the 1-in wide gorilla tape to make handles to hang on to the feral rods and have a fire extender right there.

We live in the tropics, some of our skeeters carry bad things such as malaria and dengue fever. For that reason, I would add a bug net and some form of repellant. We are currently in the rain/typhoon season so a fire might be problematic on many days. For water treatment when you can not make a fire, a simple filter to clarify water and some form of chemical treatment (tablets, iodine etc) would be found in our kits. Excellent presentation., thank you.

I'd add to mine....electrolyte power/salt/ w an E-mergency. Type powder. After hiking in sun and getting depleted having that can really hit the spot.....being depleted screws with your mood and energy.....screwing with moral.

Help out the algos guys.... set auto play on desktop computer, choose a playlist and let it rip...even if you're off to work! Play 'em ALL

G'Day, miss you man, Glad to see you back. Cheers Joseph Stay Vert

I love S.O.L. blankets for lightweight warmth! On my first time out Backcountry camping, transitioning from the canoe to land, my sleeping bag just touched the water.... I thought nothing of it until it was time to use the sleeping bag. I had luckily grabbed an SOL blanket for emergencies and it was awesome

Dehydrated foods can be cold soaked but they certainly are not at their best. Still better than being hungry. Good video, as usual. Thanks

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Thanks Corporal. Those Spool Tools are pretty handy.

Good gear load out. Love the harness. Thanks for the midweek

Somthing is wrong with youtube... Should have had way more views. This is my 3rd time watching this video. It's awesome!

Well versed and well executed. Great video Corp

Excellent video, thank you. Webgear still holds its own... ain't no school like old school. I love your gear loadout in this video. Solid, no frills or gimmicks, reliable gear. Idiot resistant... (they are always inventing better idiots). I would be very interested in seeing your old gear dumps from back in the day.

I'm still using the one I had in the Army in the 80's. Somehow, one of the canteens fell off and disappeared, cover and all. So, it looks strange with a brand new canteen cover on it while the rest is faded. The mag pouches I cut the straps out of and use for a variety of things, or if I'm playing "tactical", I can use them for what they were intended for. Only thing I've eliminated is the angle head flashlight. Just no need for one of those anymore with head lamps and compact flashlights available.

Thanks for another great video, Corporal Kelly! Always helpful and entertaining

Outstanding information on old school gear works every time.

Watching all content, i enjoy the wide range of content 😁

That Mora knife is a winner. I got one for myself and love it.

I love this set up and I really want my own soon!

Always love your content

Cant wait to see. Semper fi

Great kit!

Awesome video like the back to basics. You out did yourself like always. Keep doing what you do and like always Semper Fi brother

Always Outstanding AF.

Great basics video! Good information.

Great vid Corp! I enjoyed the old school military harness as always .... Outstanding AF!!!

Ended up catching this video on Sunday. Enjoyed it.

As always love your videos. So informative and educational. Thank you so much for sharing.

Great video, great insight

Great video sir. Please keep up the great work.

Great video Corporal! 👍❤️👍

Dude, great idea. I just went down memory lane and checked the old green NCO book for my gear lists. 1999 3/3 81s. Semper Fi

I definitely like old school.

About 35 years ago that was my archery season deer hunting pack. I never thought of carrying 2 water bottles though.

I'm sure I missed a previous video but can you do something on knife sharpening maybe using a good stone?

Really like the old school stuff. Great

Thanks for the update

Good shit corporal love your videos, and as long as I am alive I will watch when you post

Thanks for an informative video!

my harness, too....'77...army medic...makin me feel like old coot.....i'll take it!!👍👍

Outstanding!!

Another Outstanding A.F video my friend

Flashback: I clearly remember my butt pack packing. Our pl sgt really taught us SMART packing and what to carry in our pockets. To this day, his method ensured we had the basics a done or two “luxury items like socks and foot powder. We would split our “C” down ensuring the treasured B1 and B1A cans were quickly accessible

So happy you are doing well. Keep it up bro

I still use mine for scouting deer and hogs.

Nice load out. Thanks

Another great video, thanks for instruction.

Didn’t have a lighter for the grill, used the waxed wood shavings and a ferocieum rod. It was perfect the tinder burned long enough for the charcoal to start. I had never actually used it before, so part of it was wanting to see how well it works prior to using it when I need a fire.

Nice The LBE is a better system than it gets credit for. I like having 2 canteens full of known pure water. It's not always practical to stop and boil or whatever, and the expected water source may not provide what was anticipated. I always have a USGI poncho with me. One of the most useful pieces of gear ever issued. Thanks for the video

Great load out.

🎉another great CC video.

I got your notification 😊

Enjoyed this one, as I always do. I bought one of those spool tools after seeing it here. I am now also looking at a poncho too!

Outstanding Devil Dog

Huge fan of KISS! Thank you Corporal

Another killer video as always

"Outstanding" well done

Informative as usual. 👍🐕🤠🇦🇺

Oh yeah I love my combat harness and what I carried which paid off a few times and I agree 💯 with you my friend

Excellent advice as always. Don't have a Military Harness but everything you mentioned fits nicely in a Safari Vest or Hi Viz Timber Cruisers vest. Used that once when I was stuck overnight in the bush because the chopper I had arranged to pick me up couldn't fly due to severe fog. Hunkered down under a tree, lit a fire, ate instant rice and corned beef and had an oxo cube hot drink. Safe, warm, dry and fed. The hi-viz vest was my signalling device. No problems whatsoever.

Very cool ty
