My Wilderness Survival Kit & Camping Gear 

I've watched this video several times over the past few years. It's still my favourite survival kit video EVER. Alfie is one clever, and funny, bloke.

Everybody gangsta until there are no trees for the hammocks.

Man, It's been 3 years. Every year I start prepping my bag for the season and your vids are recommended. I've been watching for so long. It would be sick if you came back.

Alfie the world needs you now more than ever :'(

Alfie. Can you make videos... on a more regular basis? From: All of your subs

Great video see you in two years!!

This is like the 10th time i watched this

Dude dies and comes back to life every 9 months

Nokia can be used as a hammer as well as a phone !! Multi function for the win!

This must be how my dogs feel when I get back home from work.

Can’t tell if you’re ex-military or a hippie or both

I'm 4 minutes in and I've already pissed myself laughing "2 years in and haven't died yet"

It's like a Stanley Kubrick film: far too long since the last one, but every minute is pure joy.

He was hiding in the Argentinian wilderness for what feels like years. Now he's back. But sadly, his trusted pencil sharpener was lost to the case.

I was skeptical when I saw the size of the pack. Then I saw the external additions. Then I saw the efficiency with which you packed things and the fine selections you made in prioritizing what you carry. Well done.

This guy is one of the first ones who got me interested in Bushcraft, along with MCQ Bushcraft, sadly both of them not releasing new contents now

Dicks out for Alfie! Nice to see you back bro

See you next year boys! Alfie's vids are like a 2-a-year treat we get for being good boys.

it's not often you come across a video as good as this one on any subject. no annoying music, and no waffling about. this video was put together as efficiently as the pack it describes. well done and thank you.

You would be "that one guy," that every platoon has, who makes even the worst conditions livable, and even fun.

I missed your scent.

He has come out of hibernation! Hope this means a new campaesthetics is on its way

This video got me into bushcraft and camping. I was into tactical stuff but wasn't a fan of being in the woods for that long. After going through some shit and feeling alone being in nature became more and more appealing. I had a bunch of edc stuff in a crappy assault bag which almost none of it was helpful to me for camping. I stumbled upon this video and not only did it help with figuring out what I needed to get but it also got me interested in sleeping outside. I started watching bushcraft and backpacking videos religiously and I've worked my way into getting better and better gear. Sometimes I wish I can go back to having cheaper stuff as there's a certain charm to it, but I love my stuff from Finland way too much. I give this video nearly all the credit for activating the urge in me to be outdoors and I cannot be thankful enough for that. If I didn't have camping in my life it would be 100% more boring, tedious, and isolated. It's the one place I can go and escape the negative thoughts and feelings of day to day life. Alfie hasn't posted in years and there are other channels with way more information, but he was my first and I'll always be appreciative of that.

Anyone re-watching all of camp aesthetics videos during lockdown? 😆

Good to see you back!

A person should keep Purell sanitizer on hand for many reasons. 1. To clean your hands with before eating any food. 2. You can squeeze some Purell on a rock and light it on fire and then finding something like dry leaves or dry wood to burn to put on top of the burning Purell sanitizer that is on the rock burning. 3. You can use Purell to sanitize other things like a knife, spoon, fork and so on.

I keep a smartphone with hundreds of books loaded onto it in my kit. You need a way to charge it so a portable solar charger is a must, but it's nice to have a library in your kit. I did a 3 month trip alone in 2010 and every night I just read books. I probably read 30-40 books during that time.

After years in local Mountain Search/Rescue groups, and countless hours viewing these type of kits, TAKE HEED ! By far, imho, the BEST ‘Put Together’ Kit … BAR NONE 🤔👍🏻👍🏻 🏔💡🤔⚡️☕️⚡️

The legend has returnd

FINALLY THIS MAN IS A GREAT BALANCE OF EDUCATION AND HUMOR

Honestly stumbled across this channel avoiding homework and it is amazing

You've made me think of getting back into camping and wanting to make my own survival kit. My dad always loved to camp, he passed recently, but I think I want to have a camp in his honor. Thanks for inspiring me.

Seems those damn Argentinians didn't got to you after all .

After being depressed for a while, I got outdoors again and my worries started to fade away. Wish my local forests were as great as that 😜

Miss You and Your wisdom

Loved it... Quite humorous at times and a nice change from the American ounce counting hikers.😊

See you guys in 2020

The space blanket is ridiculous. I was freezing in the north of Sweden when I lined the base of my tent with it. 10 min later and I was sweating like a pig.

I love how your videos are packed with useful info and zero fluff.

For those of us who aren't "high speed, low drag" Vegan Campers like the whippet thin Alfie. The DD Superlight Hammock and the Carabiners, have a weight limit of 100kg (220lb). So it's a bed of pine needles for us bacon eaters ☹️

Today, I was reminded that the world is still a somewhat decent place because you've made a brief return.... again. Thank you. 👽✌

Honestly that custom MRE was the most interesting part, very coool!

we need you back Alfie, please leave your wilderness life and come back to us

Best pack kitchen ever. Been waiting for someone to fix the bulky grill proplem

Hell yer, Christmas has come in November in the form of an upload from the number 1 bushcrafter himself that is only known as the one, the only, Alfieaesthetics. Merry bushcraft Christmas my fellow followers

Haven’t watched it but already liked 😊😊😊

If you are looking for pure calories with lots of fat, protein, and carbs; you can't beat peanut butter imo. A jar of peanut butter the size of your pack of food would probably be about 10,000 calories. A small jar of PB has around 2500-3000 calories and is tiny compared to your pack of food. A large jar usually has around 7k calories and is still smaller than your pack. Plus, it's convenient since it has a twist top for resealing and it's perfectly cyclinder. Anyway, just my personal pro tip.

Bruh this is the most neatly organized and amazing survival kit I have ever seen in my life. I want this guy to be my guide for outside.

PLEASE POST MORE YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND

See you in 4 months

Alfie's detail is unrivalled.

Come back Alfie!! We need you now more than ever!

Can we get a winter edibles video?

DROP EVERYTHING! ALFIE UPLOADED!

Honestly, this man gives me much joy, and makes me want to camp again.

Best kit I have ever seen!

Must be the best kit i've seen on YT. Cheers!

The Peaky Blinder behind the morale patch. Uber cheeky.

I gotta say, that is one of the best kits i have ever seen.

I've watched heaps of these vids on RU-vid but you my friend are the King 👍👍👍

Dude... You've got to upload more often

As it nears christmas Alfieasthetics emerges from his cave to provide vital life saving tips about mitamins and vinerals. Gawd DAMN!! DATS SUM PRO TIPS!!

I was quite impressed with your creativity and how concise you are. And you have a great sense of humor that kept me laughing as I watched your video!! Can't wait to watch more!!

I sure agree with your choice of a long, thick, ferro rod. Emergency Orange 550 survivor cord is a must to have on my ferro rod.

See you guys in a year! Can't wait. I'll be counting down the days.

No toilet paper?

The sarcasm on this channel is a masterfully crafted.

This is camping made simple I love it you are always straight to the point xx

aww yeah! my favorite time of year... when alfieaesthetics posts a new video.

No nut November just got a whole lot harder

Great, concise two day kit. Fun and entertaining commentary, well done! I use many of the same items in several of my bags. I love my Clean Kanteen, UCO stormproof matches. Thanks for sharing Alfie!

Perfect! All you need and nothing you don´t need.

Throughout the years your equipment bag has shrunken down but never disappoints. It's good to see a new video.

Yessss I’m so glad to see this video, honestly you have been such a big inspiration in my life and in my survival gear. I just want to say thank you for all you have done! I’m sure I speak for everyone who watches you regularly. Keep making these amazing videos please!

Classic Post drop new material!

Dear Sir, in these times of pandemic madness, our minds are in desperate need of some top notch aesthetics. Blessed are we, being able to witness the aesthetics caught by your lens. You make people smile, thank you

I discovered your channel yesterday after getting interested in bushcraft/survival, been binge watching them. What a coincidence that after 4 months you post today! Very nice video aswell, thank you!

Love that your videos are so dense with quality and content. Great job

Cut off any and all unused Molly webbing and straps, cut more weight by upgrading both knives to smaller, more expensive ones. Find a smaller, lighter radio/flashlight/battery/GPS combo. Buy a lighter weight tripod. Cut out any unused pockets in the pack. Trim down to 3 prusset/prussick (however you spell it) knots on your ridgeline (as per Corporal Kelly teaches on corporals corner). Change out your fancy, yet asthetic, metal medical kit for a lighter, polyester pouch. Utilize small plastic bottles for your pill packs and plethora of antiseptics. Use titanium stakes instead of steel. Replace steel carabiners with titanium ones. Trim redundancies to a minimum.

Wow! That is one of the best day / survival packs I have ever seen. And the presentation was very well done. Excellent job.

Aye look who it is. Good to see you're alive.

I swear, I learn new skills and new “Thats what she said” jokes with every video. You are by far my favorite channel!

I miss this bloke

This is by far the best gear video on youtube!

Ooo so you just show up acting like nothing happened ?

Observe its length and its girth lmao

Your comedy plus information is awesome. You bring a seriousness and elation to outdoor survival. Making it fun to what would seem a potentially serious situation, you make it seem doable for the everyday person. I am skilled up with the basics, living in the country provides opportunities, but your videos make a good level up experience to my ever growing knowledge. Thank you

Cool video, it says it all and everything basic needs to lnow is covered. Good job done! Thanks for sharing.

Finally

This is a really awesome pack setup, man! I really like how each item serves a specific purpose and there aren't a ton of unnecessary things in your pack that make it super heavy and bulky.

Genuinely, this is the best of these type of videos I’ve ever seen. Everything to the point, clear, concise, and with great British humour to boot! Much better than the equivalent American bags which start with 10 kilos of ammo... Clearly everything you say is from experience. Excellent video!

Miss ya Alfie!!

On these crazy times we need the return of the king

Best thing to watch before sleeping. And even 35 minutes long

Great video! Helped me stop over packing for 1-2 day outs.

Very useful video. Thank you so much for sharing!

I might need to invest in a sawyer myself! Good run down of the kit!

NEVER forget the raincoat or a poncho if u dont want get fckd by rain :(

I always come back to this to try to make one like this my way compact and pretty complete.

This guy knows his shit. I'm seriously impressed.
