The plan was to do this video talking about my favorite 3 items that I always keep in my bag. I thought about doing this video like our series of “survival gear” video, that Randy “Rawhide” Wurst did, and just just point to the bag and say “I’m not gonna get into it.”... Yep, that would have pissed everyone off, as there are a lot of viewers that want to know EVERYTHING that I carry, down to what I keep in my pockets and hidden in my belt (different video). So, I broke down and decided to show everything (within reason) that I keep in my “Woods” bag.
This is literally what I carry. When the film crew showed up, they saw it laying there in my office, and asked why we had not done a video on it yet. I had just done a hike through “Garden of Gods” in Illinoi, and it was still packed. All I had to add back to it was my “Woobie,” as I had it out on the couch.
Here’s a few notes for your bag.
If you make it too heavy, you wont carry it. Better to stay really light, as you are more likely to take it with you.
Food/Water/Shelter/Fire/Med/Como; but not in that order
Have a knife: I carry a Leatherman Surge in the woods
amzn.to/2S2acra
Fire: 2 is 1, and 1 is none. Plus, Fire can signal, cook food, purify water, warm shelter.
Como: If you are going off grid; but a Sat Phone.
Phone: Put the “Smart” in Smartphone. Have good apps, like Gaia GPS and Life360
My Mountain Serape is hands down my favorite piece of gear in the woods. Hill People Gear makes it, bit.ly/2QWoc5z
code "tacrifle5" for a 5% discount
Water: If you aren’t in the habit of bringing water with you everywhere, don’t go outside. Ever.
Medical: Think Trauma, think cuts & bruises, think multi-use items.
Mobility: That’s YOU!!! Stay in shape. Wear good comfortable foot gear. Layer your clothes. Bring extra socks, to keep your feet dry.
I hope you enjoy the video, as a small glimpse into my life.
Yes, I enjoy hiking.
No, I don’t always walk around with a sniper rifle in my hands.
I’m actually looking forward to the comments about what gear our viewers would prefer.
Thanks for watching. Strength & Honor, TR

I'm not a vet but its saved my ass backpacking I was backpacking in north carolina only to realize I forgot my warm layer so I would wrap up in my poncho line before putting on my rain jacket and it did the trick. Its also great for hammock camping i hang my on a Ridgeline above my hammock to make caccoon and create dead airspace

@J Jason it's you? Nothing special, I liked the videos from the series with Randall "Rawhide" Wurst and the other survival videos. We were in mountain during night and we had to light a fire, but the pieces of wood prepared the day before was wet and the fire didn't start. So I remembered from the videos that the hand sanitizer is flammable, so we could start the fire.

Not trolling - just trying to be helpful. The way they clipped the rope into the figure-8 to rappel at the 12:40 mark is upside down. If you look closely at 12:52, they have to lift their hand to increase the wrap of the rope around the figure-8 (increasing friction and braking). You want the rope wrapped through the figure-8 the other way, so you can brake by pushing the rope down. It's a lot less fatiguing to push down on the rope to brake than pulling up on it. Also, if you need to stop for any length of time during the rappel and your brake direction is set up correctly (downward), you can wrap the brake rope around your leg and the brake will hold by itself while your hands are now free (to adjust gear, fix a problem, clip into another rope, help someone who's stuck on a wall, etc.). Just mentioning it in case anyone watching was using this as a guide to learn/practice the technique. Enjoyed the video -thanks for making it available.

I have a S.O.C. backpack and love it so much. Inside my backpack is all the necessary items I need for survival, including my fire starting kit, first aid kit, corona folding saw, folding pocket knife, plenty of rope, fishing kit, an EDC survival kit, mess kit with steel skillet, plates, spoons, metal straws, and cups to drink out of, and a metal plate. My sleeping bag and bed liner is so large until they have to be attached outside the pack, multi-tool, and my food for survival for several days. I am waiting to receive my ax, and tarp to put up to be out of the elements in the woods.

Tar'd nylon "bank line" (twisted) is much better and more versatile than paracord. And lighter for carrying. 550 is almost always more than you are going to need for normal tie-downs. Bank line comes in various sizes/strengths. I usually go for the 360lb tensile strength and it's thin 1/16 inch. You can untwist it easier than pulling out kernmantle for thinner segments. The tar helps hold knots well and adds to friction holds. Only slight downside (sometimes a plus) is that certain knots will bind together so stuck they are very hard to untie. Just use knots that won't bind as much for major load bearing if you want to untie them. When I do take paracord with me I use the USGI grade Type IV (750 cord). If you have to emergency repel with it just make sure it won't rub on anything too abrasive or sharp, as friction will fray it easily. I had to do this over sandstone cliffs when I got pinned in by a landslide out of cell range, and was lucky it didn't fray to failure as I had to swing to a safe ledge. You don't need a figure 8 for an emergency repel if you know how to tie a munter hitch around a locking carabineer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munter_hitch *NEVER trust cheap store bought 550 cord with your life‼️* quality varies greatly and some of it literally has clothesline cotton cloth inside. SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS ✊🏻❤️🙏🏻

When the fire started there was alot of people that could not go back the way they came and had to hump 14 miles to a evac site where helicopters can land. Since then i pack like im going on a 14 mile hump even if its a mile.

Awesome gear man!! Thank your for serving this great country sir!! I really like your setup! My uncle was in the army and served in desert storm and received the bronze star. He taught me everything he learned in the military and i noticed his setup is very similar to yours and mine is not to much different either. Just thought that was pretty cool. Hill people gear make some great packs!! I personally like their ute & umlindi packs! At the moment i am using the mystery ranch 3 day assault pack and my camelbak tri zip pack. I really like the futura harness. Super easy torso adjustment. Bomb proof too! 500D cordura nylon. I recently purchased a beaver tail aswell. Like you pointed out they are great spot to put your jacket or rain jacket. But im sure you military guys used them mainly to hold your helmet. We really dont need a pack much bigger than 2,000 to 3200 cubic inches in my opinion. 30-50 litres is my personal max pack size. Thank you for sharing your gear with us sir! God bless!

Everyone is fielding the folding saws- which are a great idea- but not many camp axes. I love my 18" Estwing and wouldn't want to be separated from it in a survival situation. It can do everything from fell a tree to split kindling in no time flat. Granted, there's a big difference in weight and bulk between it and a folding saw, but IMO, well worth it when the chips are down. You can really get some big work done fast. The only hesitation I have is whether to pack the axe or Cold Steel Spetznaz shovel, which is basically a ripped off feldspaten. Because that is also a hell of a good thing to have... Eh, camp axe. Yeah. Definitely.

Terrific video! These days the Boy Scouts of America has literally gone to shit, but my Scoutmaster told those PC idiots to stuff it and taught us how to be real Scouts (got my Eagle Scout too!). That being said, all that training to "be prepared" made my hiking bag is pretty similar to yours haha. Only difference is the meds, saw, and the repelling kit. For shelter I bring a tarp and a hammock (keeps me off the ground, can keep me out of of muck and water here in Washington State). I also don't carry a stove unless I'm doing a big hike (like 10 miles out in the backwoods). That being said, your bag gave me a lot more ideas for my setup and I'm really glad you did this video. Thanks for doing what you do, and keep up the good work :).

Easy to take a 18”” or larger zipper and sew it onto the woobie. Fold woobie in half like a poncho. On one side drop down 4-6 “ and cut a horizontal slit to match the zipper and just sew it on any way you can. You can also buy snaps or sew brown shoe laces to add more closure on the sides.

Man great video but you still have ways to go for backpacking. 1. Your backpack is wrong - you need a model that sits on your hips. 2. Fire starter - get a flint and steel - about 1/4 of what you are carrying. 3. Don't eat sweets on trail - will make you want to drink and make you weak. 4. Hope you brought sharpener just to show off and not for real.5. Your shoes are not for trail - you need the once that snakes can not bite through with high sides. 6. Recommend snake guards - 13 inches at least. 7. Extra knife is funny - unless you keep loosing them. 8. Did not see VHF radio or GPS

Awesome video! As I put my kit together for hiking, I was wondering what to use instead of a poncho (they are bulky), this would not be a legit guide if the woobie wasnt included! I will have to check them out. The spectra line could always double as more cordage if needed, genius, and extra 100ft! This is not too much and definitely not lacking.

A 200 pound weight falling 6 feet hits at 3,000 pounds of force. Way beyond 550. We were taught that in a fall protection class. Rappelling ropes are normally rated to 6,000 pounds. For those who don’t know. Good video.

One of my favorites I have taken along in the field along with my poncho liner is the British made SnugPak Merlin sleeping bag that rolls up to a size of a football. Other stuff like a foam pad for better warmth. German Esbit fire tablets, cheap, plenty, and burns for 20-30 minutes like the old G.I. heat tablets. The old WWI or WWII German infantry mess kit with FKS. You can pack stuff in it too. The commando wire saw very compact inside the pack. The old USAF strobe light or any strobe light will work. Baby wipes like a good infantryman will have. Bungee cords attached to the old aluminum ALICE large or small rucksack. Still cheap and works great. Chem Lights both visible and IR three of each, and last is a Balaclava for head, neck, and face protection for the cold. Along with food and water as the great Tactical Rifleman would have on his list this would work for me for at least 72 hours or 3 days. Oh beef jerky would be great too. If you can make your own or get it on sale at COSTCO in bulk. My load for my self would estimate to about close to 20 pounds in the pack that will not kick my ass if I had to walk.

Metal water bottles are an 'ideal' for me as I can boil water in them if necessary, for sterilisation. This means boiling more litres at a time if I am dependant on what I forage for sustainment. I still have lots of plastic surplus canteens with metal cups of course, it is just that the metal ones get loaded first, or distributed to companions first. The stainless steel ones are heavier than the titanium ones, but more affordable. Titanium feels more ninja. That is great that the water filter can be screwed on to a bottle. My big problem with the lifestraw style is that it seemed to be for dire emergencies only. What if you want to sterilise water for several people, or use the water for cooking or something?Do you spit it out into a pot, then cook? So thanks for showing me this one. My favourite multipurpose first aid items are: Super Combat Cravat. It is a dry, impermeable and sterile large triangular bandage. It does everything a triangular bandage can do, but can also be used for burns, eviscerations, amputations etc. SWAT-T. Sure, other tourniquets are better at being a tourniquet, but the SWAT-T will work on kids and animals, and can be used as a broader pressure dressing, can support splints or can be used with some wisdom as a snake bandage. These go in a little pouch with a 6"Israeli bandage and some good strong adhesive tape. It is just the 1st line. Keep it small and it gets carried. Bloody brilliant idea with the chocolate covered coffee beans! Folding saws are great. I fond most 'survival' styles expensive, bulky and the blades expensive to replace when they blunt. For me, a common hardware store folding saw is best, that uses standard reciprocating saw (Sawzall) blades. Easy to find, cheap, and blades are available for everything from hardwood, softwood, metal, brick/cast iron, you name it. I made a video about it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zIkI-6UKOUA.html Thanks for showing us.

A no frills, realistic approach to going out in the woods. I dislike the term "survival" because I've never had to survive. I willingly go to the woods and camp out. As a former Marine I learned years ago about packing the necessities only.

Thx for the post. Appreciate the message. Consider this from a 'content for a future post' standpoint: Limit your weight to 32 oz and volume of something over the shoulder. I use a 18x20x5 cm old soft-side binoc case. A quick grab on an afternoon walk on, say, something like a Smoky Mountain trail. But if we got off trail (God forbid) and HAD to stay out overnight for a couple nights we could maintain moral, shelter, water, heat. Plus basic first aid. Ounces equal pounds, pounds equal pain. A big/heavy is, well, big and heavy for a hike. The problem I would have is I would use the flawed logic of 'Aww, nothing's going to happen.'. And there it would sit in the car while I and the family are out on the long walk.

I think it all depends on where you're going and what activities you plan on doing determines the gear and the quality of gear you need. I tend to go out some fairly remote areas where I rarely see another person so I pack accordingly. My most important tool is my knife. I dont skimp on my blade so I usually stick with TOPS knives. Always have my 5 C's and I try to get good quality gear. I also rock the tried and true Alice pack, which using the pack frame with the shelf, works great for other tasks like transporting firewood or water if need be.

People don't realize that 550 rating doesn't include when you go down and stop you weigh more than you think. When you run your body and feet absorb about 7 times your body weight, so when you repel and stop quickly you're exerting probably 2-3 times what you weigh on that rope, its gonna snap.

Only thing I disagree on for your pills is the Mobic. If you need the prescription I understand but it is the worst for causing bleeding. Minimize it with Advil. It still can cause bleeding but not too the scale of Mobic

Think about this .. Every backpacker is basically a survivalist and every survivalist is basically a backpacker. Only difference is in the gear/equipment taken by each. If a person can combine fun with reality it just makes sense to do it. After a trip my gear is dried , cleaned and repacked for the next time. Only the perishables and items to be compressed are not pre packed. Also the basic pack weight can be light , I keep mine between 7 and 9 pounds for everything but the consumables ( meals , fuel and water ).

At 10:23 you talk about 550 cord being used for rappel. Well, great in theory, except that 550 MELTS really really easily. Not good for our rope-on-rope knots and friction systems of climbing. That cotton webbing would be much better because it won't over heat as fast. Just my two bits. I really appreciate these videos. I hope my comment didn't come off like an internet ninja. I greatly respect your work.
@TacticalRifleman
@TacticalRifleman 5 лет назад
I agree 100%. I would only rappel on 550 in dire emergencies. Similarly, you can emergency rappel with anything, to include COAX, bed sheets, clothes line, to name a few. Ask me how I know... Maybe I’ll save those stories for Patreon. Thanks for watching, TR

Awesome content as usual. As an outdoor enthusiast for 30+ years I’m always looking for a better way that works for me. I’ve watched a zillion of these videos, but usually leaves my kit unaltered and me wondering how people come up with some of this stuff. This is the first video that made me think a little different spin on a few things would serve me well and streamline what is always in my vehicle and what I carry every time I go for a hike. Thank you for your service and the awesome content.
