Far from it. But I do put effort into things I do.

Forgot to mention that there is a small first aid kit I hang on the pack, basic and small. It has a small soap inside as well, I'm always by the stream so, that tends to be my to go shower kit. Over the years I changed a couple of boots, but just old fashioned leather hiking boots do the job for me.

why so defensive

Well, that's a solid question, and here you go witha solid answer. When I go to a local national park for a few overnights or a week if work can allow, I am not too concerned with food. There is no way I'd get lost and end up stranded since I know the area like my own pocket, so no need to worry about a "survival situation". Now if we are talking long term, like, I'm fed up with people around me and society type fed up so I'm gonna stroll off into the wild and never look back situation, I'd surely bring a different type of loadout. I've been a bowhunter for quite a couple of years, not as much nowdays as I used to when I was younger, but I'm confident in those skills, so that kit would surely be there. I've also spent my whole childhood, besides hunting, fishing a whole lot, so some basic kit would find its way in there. And there goes my meat supply. I'm plenty fat nowdays so I can live off of that for a decent couple of weeks for sure! That's my survival muscle. Besides where I live, you can find plenty of wild edibles, and even if not, it's such a small country, a walk in any direction for 10 miles or so is gonna get you to cultivated land... so scavenge! But like I said... I do this to relax from work, I'm not as nearly as hardcore as I was when I attended the Forestry school and wanted to spend every night under the night sky, off the beaten path with minimal gear, mainly cuz my budget was next to a racoon's. Hope that shines some light on the topic.

Could you imagine that I could not imagine that this video would be viewed as many times as it was? This was supposed to be a private video for a few of my buddies that I accidentally put up as public haha And could you Imagine that you were watching some random Serbian guy (Balkans, south-east Europe) As for the gear I've been in this for like 15+ years.. And this is a result of it, mixed with backpacking since I do a lot of that with my wife, the gear and loadout is tailored very much to my person. Some things could be taken out, some do not have to, some call it camping gear, I do not care :) I am getting old together with my back to go and work my ass off in the woods, I try to make it as comfy as possible and eliminate as many tedious tasks as possible.. Especially when breaking down camp and relocating which I do a lot. The Jacket is Fjallraven, it was a pretty cheap second hand jacket I got in a shop for like 10-15$ But it was not oiled or nothing, I did all that myself. Beeswax and oil mix together with some hairdryer to sink it in. Works like a charm just has to be re applied after long trips in the rain. Cheers and stay out there. Nature is the way.

​@@bushcraftfrogThat's... What I call an answer! Thanks!

Hey man, there are much lighter versions out there, people tend to go with half as much weight as I do. Still compared to my army days, and the days that followed where I hiked with 50-55 lbs of suffering on my back...damn this stuff I use sure is light! At the time I did not know/could not afford better plus I was a lean mean fighting machine.. Now I'm getting old and I sure do appreciate comfort. Point is, when I think on my hiking, camping, bushcrafting and backpacking career... Those days of 50lbs bags still carry the best adventures though.. So screw expensive gear man, just get out there and enjoy the great splendor of nature, because that is why all this is done...

@@bushcraftfrog well said sir

Nah man I feel you. I'll be honest with you, this video was supposed to be private, my outdoor gearlist, for a few of my friends, accidents happen, unfortunately for the bushcraft try-hards, it is super disappointing. Which I do get. Point is, my back is getting old, and between work and life I do not get nearly as much time as I wanted to spend out. So when I go, I try to eliminate all the possible unnecessary tedious tasks of the day... I also break and set up camp a lot..so.. Call it camping gear I guess, maybe you saw something useful in it maybe you did not. Besides I do not watch nor follow any TH-cam bushcraft related stuff so I do not have a slightest idea of whats the thing nowdays, nor do I care, I just wanna be out. I've been in this story for over 15 years. Over the years, this is what my pack holds when I go out for 4-7 days into the forest for a hike and simply existing there, doing some carving, or just plugging my brain out from all the shit of the city. I used to do a lot of bushcrafting when I lived in a different location, heading out with a small pouch containing the bare minimum and would stay out for a stretch of days.. But, I am older, job is killing me, life is not easy on me either, so sleeping with my back on a dampish ground with no padding will only make me feel more miserable instead of putting a small light in my life. You get why I carry so much backpacking gear instead of simply crafting my own little cabin or something right..

Titanium is terrible for cooking

Aluminum is lighter and better if it's Teflon coated. And the heat distributes better. Titanium is just for boiling and eating out of really. Titanium is a funny type of metal. Very few uses that make sense. Only things I bought was some pots, compass, beads, Russian titanium shovels. Heck. Last month we missed the last traffic of titanium from Russia. There was a very well built titanium stove that came out by them. That grayle titanium water filter is really eye candy to me atm.

Really depends on the purpose though. If you plan on hauling your pack, I'd always rather stick with titanium. Also, it is not flimsy at all. Thin yes, but I use it on an open fire all the time, and titanium is so durable you can sit on it.

Actually I did not. It did not make too much sense to me that they would make it in such a way that it would leak. I do know some people did that, but more like a precautionary measurement. So I decided to roll Without it. And here it is, years after with hundreds of exposed nights. And still holding. Recently I purchased another one, a bit heavier with a thicker (non see through) inner part for like wind resistance for the winter, and just like the one I got years ago, that one is still the same build.

Thanks for your reply mate You've been really helpful. At least I know what to do if I purchase a lanshan now which I think I will.

Ever tried savotta?

@@backpackingireland8624 yes

​@@backpackingireland8624 yes, 48

Yea, I have a similar feeling, but this is just a very comfortable yet bushcraftish kit. It is just something that has proven to work for me over the years. Since I do both HC bushcraft with like just a wool blanket, tarp and some tools, all the way up to ultralight backpacking.. So I mix them all over the place depending on the mood, weather, how my back feels that day, etc... I did plan on making lots more videos covering different setups for different occasions, but I kinda god bored of the whole YT fuss, so I just go out whenever I can and do not bother filming it :D

@@bushcraftfrog I hear ya! Nothing wrong with modern or vintage gear I just wanted to yap I guess lol

Primeti se da nisam kada se malo bolje zadubi :) Krcka inace deluje kao super mesto za oprobati neke bushcraft vestine, zanimljivo podneblje.

Looks like a husqvarna axe that's been modified. I have the same one.

Oh dear buddy, I wish what you said was true. :) I live in one of the worst countries on the Balkan peninsula, eastern Europe. What you see in this video is a compiled saving of over 10 years of bushcrafting. For 5 years I drove a car I paid 650$ but would spend every dime on outdoor gear since that is my passion. I started with tarps under 1$ and knives I forged myself from some low grade steel that would bend on harder woods. I take your comment as a compliment! That means I went a long way! For me this took 10 years to compile, tossing out 1 by 1 of my crappy old gear :D

My bad, but I still think you carry way too much. Look out for military solutions, you'll be able to ditch a lot of unnecessary gear without compromising comfort. Thanks for your kind answer and see you around some tree, somewhere. hugs from France 😘@@bushcraftfrog

Brother, in all honesty :D you think I would not have like a whole room full of all kinds of firearms? Sadly, I live in Europe where even knives can get you in trouble with the police. I have a few bows, which are also semi illegal, so, trust me, If I could I'd have a separate gun channel :D
