Winter Survival Primitive Backpack Gear Load Out 

That is real cool man I am not critical of anything you do I like the gear that rain dear skin really interested me I like primative gear and army surplus. Do it yourself is some of what I do . I pick up gear 1 or 2 items at a time . And go out when I can not modern is what I have because I can get it cheap online . I am an over the road trucker . Keep up the great work.

Thank you! And be safe out there on the road!

Another phenomenal video. Who makes the 18th century folder you have? Looks wonderful.

As fall is approaching just had to come back and watch this.

Absolutely! Thank you!

I never thought of it that way. I have never believed but you I think you’re right.

Very well said

Yes, I could have wrapped the oilskin tarp around the outside but on this trip, I chose to roll it on the inside as the area that we were in is full of rocks and narrow areas and I didn't want to scrape or put holes in my shelter. I care more about my shelter at night than about the wool blankets as I can always stitch them up. Plus, you can sit on a wool blanket roll in the snow and it won't slide out from under you like a waxed canvas roll would. At any rate it worked out fine and thank you for watching and commenting!

Thank you for watching. You can actually survive with a lot less but it will be much harder and you will be much more miserable.

@@WayPointSurvival With the beans and rice in addition to plain rice, two potatoes, etc., you brought food for a week!

It is a neat old cutter for sure. Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comments! Some day I'll probably do a video wearing my brain-tanned buffalo coat, I picked it up for very little money a few years ago, and you're right, it's very warm!

Thank you, glad you liked it!

It is indeed useful for many things. Thank you for watching and glad you liked it!

Thank you. Sorry to hear about your anorak! Hopefully you can get another. Have a good one!

Very true, my friend!

Thank you so much, glad you liked it!

Amen to Honey.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, but glad that you enjoyed the video and that you found it useful!

Thank you so much and welcome aboard!

Thank you so much!

Thanks so much!

Well, unfortunately, these are modern times, and since I was guiding a group, I needed a way to make emergency contacts.

@WayPointSurvival you get a lot of cell service out in the "wild"?

You are so welcome!

Thank you!

Thank you!

True enough and I do usually put all items with interesting smells up in a bear bag. Thanks for adding this to the comments and thanks for watching!

I paid $20 for the deer skin and made the rest of the pack myself, with the exception of some of the other leather that I use for straps etc. Thank you for watching.

Thank you so much!

I picked up the reindeer hide at Tandy leather, they usually have them during the winter and the first of the year. Thank you for watching!

@@WayPointSurvival Thank YOU for answering back so quickly!! I'm binging again on your videos that I still hadn't seen yet. I really like your creativity, and the way you take 'everyday' items and put them to other uses. I have gear that I've bought, but to me it's even more important to know HOW to source things that can be used to fit your needs. That's why I've enjoyed your Hobo series so much, as well as your 1790s series, the punched tin can cable holder, the DIY backpack, and so much more! But, most important, I loved seeing that you included the New Testament in your pack, and the fact that you take a moment to Thank God for His provisions before you eat. Thank You for sharing your knowledge with all of us!!

That's excellent! Those old packs were really heavy duty and quite well made!

Thanks so much. I've just gotten really efficient at packing, I guess!

You're very welcome!

Thank you so much. The pack weighed roughly 36 lbs including the water and the bacon that I ate.

Thanks! I would estimate that it weighed between 60 and 70 lb. It's a good idea to use the steel flask for the oil.

Thanks so much, hope you have a great trip!

Actually, the entire kit weighed in the 50 lb range, so not bad at all. Thank you for watching and commenting!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you for watching.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for watching and I'm glad that you liked it!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Absolutely! I would love to have one of those blankets someday.

Thank you, brother and you're welcome!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you for watching!

Thanks so much, my friend!

Thank you so much!

Thanks!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for watching!

@@WayPointSurvival You’re welcome.

Vids, that is

Yes, it seems that the more that we insist on taking with us into the backcountry the less pure the final experience ends up being. Thanks for watching and I'm glad that you enjoyed the video!

Thank you so much!

Thank you very much!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you for watching!

It's called Ghee at the store...clarified butter.

Thank you so much!

Thanks for watching and for the suggestion!

Thank you!

Thank you, brother and you're welcome!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I enjoy learning from you as well!

Excellent, thanks for watching!

The backpack itself weighed about 36 lb including the water and the pound of bacon that I ate. All the other gear was in the 15 to 20 lb range I would say. Thank you for watching my friend!

Thanks so much for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thank you. I'll possibly do a video on it.

@@WayPointSurvival Please do!

Thanks for watching!

That would be a great idea! It would also make a great ground mat for sitting on or for food prep. Thank you so much for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you. Maybe 50 pounds or so for the total kit.

I purchased it several years ago in Friendship, In. I do not know who made it, sorry. Thank you for watching and for your question!

Yes, we are in the very Southern part of Ohio. The entire kit weighed maybe 50 lbs, so not bad at all. The trip was 3 days, two nights and not sure of the miles but probably 5-6 but over very rugged terrain with a significant amount of elevation gain and loss. Yes, I have seen the primitive Scottish 1700's videos. They are indeed very cool. Thank you for watching and for your questions!

Thank you. The backpack weighed about 36 lb including the water and the pound of bacon that I ate.

@@WayPointSurvival Jesus is coming soon, please seek him and repent. And please read Isaiah 66. Don’t take the mark.

@@WayPointSurvival ps I believe the test and sharp metal thing are the mark. Make sure you’re reborn and keep the commands. Ask God, He told and showed me the juiced get activated soon and turn into the beasts from Revelation 6:8. Found over 100 being shown. Like demonic fast zombies

@@WayPointSurvival last thing, I believe the falling away, testing is happening now. Judgement, the strong delusion for those who don’t receive love of the truth. 2 Thes 2

Right! That sounds like a camping disaster!

True!

Thanks.

I believe it weighed somewhere in the 40 lb range for the backpack and about 15 lb for the haversack. It's been a long time since I made this video so I don't remember exactly. Thank you for watching and God bless you too!

Well, it was about the primitive backpack, not necessarily the gear that went in it.

@@WayPointSurvival Great video with great gear either way

Thank you! I do have one of those Stonebridge lamps and I like it a lot. one of these days, I hope to use it in one of my videos.

More or less:) Thank you for watching the video!

Thanks so much and welcome aboard!

The entire kit weighed in the 50 lb range. Thank you for watching!

Thank you, it really does hold quite a bit!

I bought it years ago at Friendship, Indiana. Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much. Maybe one of these days I will start selling them on my website!

​@@WayPointSurvivalYou should, James! People are getting sick and tired of mindless shit churned out by mindless machines operated by child labour.

Well, I was actually packing for a trip with this kit and decided to film it so that's why the cell phone was in there.

A blanket pin is used to hold a wool blanket together around your shoulders to make a match cloak. It is a piece of gear that goes back a couple of thousand years at least and works extremely well. I have a video on my channel but shows how to make one from a clothes hanger.

@@WayPointSurvival Thanks for the answer to my question. That's really interesting. 🙏

Yes. I do use waxed bags from opossumpouch.com/ They are food grade and excellent in design. For flour and such, I just turn them inside out to put the seams on the outside.
