The complexity and severity of need determine the required/recommended gucci level. Cheap saw because if it breaks he has a hatchet anyhow. For some people his G22 in a safariland with an X300 is probably considered gucci but if it cannot be allowed to fail, spend a little more.
He mostly catches fish...unsure if he hunts much for small game during that time of year in the Bob. I know there are grouse and huge rabbit in there. A 40 cal would be overkill for a grouse.
Fish, mushrooms, and berries will serve you well. All catchable/foragable pretty easily, terrain depending. The PNW is better for the latter two, but you can still get em in the Northern Rockies.
One of his interviews he talked a bit about it, probably the Rogan one but pretty much any interview with him is interesting. But a video on some of it would be awsome but I’m sure he dose it to detach a bit to.
Eagle Scout here. Just want to say I love seeing camping gear videos and its awesome to see that someone as cool and rugged as you is rocking stuff like a Eureka tent and a jetboil cooking system. There's absolutely nothing wrong with getting some "cheaper" gear for camping especially if you know how to take care of it and make it last. Rock and roll dude, loving these videos
Stop worrying about what celebrities do and just treat him as another man. It’s not like he’s magically ‘above’ regular camping gear and gets DEVGRU certified military hardware absolutely everywhere he goes. Sheesh.
@@Elohim100 i guess i worded it a dumb way. I was just surprised to see him repping a brand that most outdoor enthusiasts i talked to would consider "shit" or "beginner gear" (im talking about Eureka!). I am treating him like a regular dude as someone who is much more experienced and traveled than I am; I just got excited he (as a more experienced individual) confirmed that the shit I already use is good to go for more than just some lame backyard camping. Never at any time do i see him as a "celebrity". This is real shit, not some fucking Instagram marketing bullshit
The more you know, the less you have to carry. 👍 One thing I learned recently about living off the land in the Rockies is that it isn't easy compared to the Eastern woodlands. I couldn't believe how easy it is to live off the land back there if you know your plants.
Hill People Gear make something called a kit bag, it’s like a bag that goes on your chest. The idea is that you can get access to a concealed firearm when you’re wearing a rucksack with a waist belt that would normally interfere with your holster. I know concealment might not matter much in your environment but just an option if you’re somewhere where you might encounter other people and you don’t want to alarm them. They’re also great for carrying stuff that you want quick access to, like map & compass, tourniquet, knife, etc. without having to fill your pockets full of stuff. Loving the vids Pat!
I have one and carry my Glock 20 in it. Fastened a Kydex holster inside to carry with a round chambered. When in back country I open the zipper at the top. If I fumble with the zipper pull I can reach inside and rip it out in extremis. Never had to do it but it’s there. Pricey but I think worth it.
@@wendelllewis4540 I can't carry where I am (aside from a few of the locals, there's no dangerous wildlife so not crucial for traveling anyway), but I see that HPG sell a Kydex "shoe" that fits most Glock models. I think the idea is that you dummy cord it to the loop in the handgun compartment and it pulls free when you draw. I've also seen most people (including myself) "stage" the zips of the handgun compartment at one corner, with a slight gap in between. That way you can just grab that corner of the bag and rip it open, the zips come away pretty easily. As I say, not speaking from experience in terms of carrying a handgun in the kit bag, but I carry one of my tourniquets in the handgun compartment so I can get quick access. Whenever I've practiced the "draw" it's very easy to open the compartment that way whilst still ensuring nothing falls out, etc. There are videos of it on TH-cam which I can link you to if you need. You may already know all this but just thought I'd say so you can check it out!
I am stoked for spring 2022. I'm a go up north fork teton and enjoy the privation you talk of. I dig you and your philosophy of packing some comfort like yer chair. Good times my amigo. God Bless you. Montana is always here for you.
The more I watch your content, the more I learn what being a real man is all about. Thank you for sharing and thank you for sharing non-firearm content like this as well. Wish the world had many more men like you in it.
Silky makes some outstanding bushcraft and camping foldable saws,great investment if a person wants to buy once cry once.Trout in tin foil is awsome grew up doing it that way since dad taught me.
I’m in Washington former 68w ,love your car your video’s are great ,I’m a brain never turns off guy so when I can’t sleep I can still learn thank you so much for your service being prior service I’d never imagine I could understand the level you have trained to I’m proud to be amongst the many men and women that are proud to have you on the home team
Great gear setup. Osprey backpacks are great. I have that same one in green. Gravity water filters are also amazing. Platypus makes another good one. I am not a fan of those inflatable pillows (to each their own) so I have a compressible thermarest pillow. You mentioned bringing a Goretex shell. I bring one too but learned the hard way to keep it away from the fire. Cinders will burn holes into it. For a cheap fire starter I bring an egg carton filled with dryer lint mixed with a bit of candle wax. If you can’t start a fire with that, you can’t start a fire. It works great. If you ever get tired of “The Bob” try the Boundary Waters in Northern MN. Lots of land nav with canoe paddling. It will smoke you too. Keep up the great work!
One thing I like to do is wear two pairs of shoe laces on my boots, so I basically have four laces. I have one regular pair and the other pair is just a 5-50cord. Also, I carry salt tablets. Almost everyone I knew on my search and rescue team carried them because we worked in the desert and it’s just nice to have your electro lights high. I have my radio too, you can call your local forest service team and have them give you a channel so you can always contact them if anything goes wrong.
Very cool. We do a 36 mile canoe trip here in the north Maine woods each year and pack with striking similarity. I was privileged in to have helped my father build a house for one of the big Agnes/helinox designers. Bob gave me all kinds of cool gear.
Pat next time you come to Montana, I would love to meet up with you. I live in Kalispell, MT. I had the privilege to learn from Dutch in 2018, and watch your video's all the time. Stay safe and Rock on !!!
No joke about the weather change in the Rockies. We had our drilling rig parked in the foothills of the Rockies outside of Sundre Alberta (west of Calgary) Canada. In the summer, I watched the temperature drop 30 degrees in an hour. Birds were falling out of the sky and having trouble flying with the freak snow storm that followed. This was in July too. Mountain weather is no joke.
I’ve always pronounced the name of that water filter company that makes your base camp bag Ka-Ta-Dyn/thought it a reference to the mountain in Maine at the end of the AT. If you get a chance to head North and hike it, the Knife’s Edge is a cool thing to experience! Thanks for sharing. Always great seeing other folks gear choices and analyzing ones own choices. 🤘🏼
Thanks ! Those portable fishing rods- All in - seems fairly compact, gimmick - free, field tested and to the point Big fan of those sea to-summit red xtra- long bag liners They pack down to fist size and are very versatile The xtra long version!!! is not well known yet the xtra length !! is key - the stretch factor is convenient And for use as stand alone covering in moderate temps /weather , or as a extra liner etc in cooler temps - they also include top cinch cord maybe Pull out that GTO 🤘
Gals and Guys - if you are going to buy an inflatable sleeping pad, absolutely make sure you buy one that has thermal insulation, usually described by R-value. I had done a stupid mistake by buying something super comfy and not isolating at all, (the mat was photoshopped on the glacier, and yes, you know who is a fool here). To make things better, after my first trip I decided that the sleeping bag is guilty, so I took another trip with a new sleeping bag and good, old noninsulating mat - again super comfy, and super cold. And finally, something clicked in my brain, probably thanks to hypothermia after a night on frozen ground - so for the third trip, this time in the winter I took an alu-roll mat, and finally slept like a newborn.
Good info there. When we go climbing and camping above a snow line ( so camping on the snowpack ) everyone brings a roll mat and a thermarest, as well as an appropriate sleeping bag. It's taught quite early on in basics that the ground will suck out any heat you have, even in mild weather ( don't leave anything at all on the ground if it has a battery either. It'd be stone dead in the morning !) . Glad you're getting a decent nights sleep now!
Just got back from a weekend backpacking trip here in northern CO. I learned I need to get a better sleeping bag. Mines warm but too bulky. It can be 80 during the day here and at night it can easily dip into the lower 40s or 30s at night up in the high country. Like in the Bob, storms will roll in within minutes here too.
Nice rig Mac! I use to backpack UH (ultra heavy). Went UL. Now between UL and LW( light weight). Base wt about 12 lbs. Did the JMT, base wt., plus consumables, heavest load with 9 days of food , bear cannister, h20, 30 lbs. And you are correct about the temps. Our valley was 95f, coldest night 29f. Good on ya, Mate! Nothing like the back country....
Excellent brother! Osprey and Kelty make solid mid size packs for a great price, also highly recommend Tasmanian Tiger packs. I dig that you carry a G22 .40, my go-to for the sticks and every other occasion (G22 or G23). I carry most of the same stuff, only difference is I take a standard ground sheet with a small sleeping pad and a bivy cover apart from a secondary fire starting/ making source/ tool. Metal up!
Im impressed, my load out is identical and i've spent years getting it right. I'd go naked before I'd go without my sleeping pad. I use an Eberlestock external frame pack that doubles as a chair. Proper seating is a must!
Nice video! Simple down and dirty list. Pretty similar stuff but gear is always rotating depending on the journey. I usually will camp in truck as a basecamp and then venture out from there mileage may vary since I moved to Colorado. Usually always take Body Glide, Baby Wipes, some zip lock bags, small fire starting kit, emergency blanket, beanie, gloves, whistle, day night signaling device, are a few of my essentials not mentioned. I'm debating to go leg holster for my pistol or a chest rig... Either a kydex one or something like the Hill People Gear chest pouch. I've never been a huge fan of the drop leg holster as I feel it gets in the way of the terrain in CO sometimes, but the ones that drop down from the belt say 2.5'' I don't mind. I know you sacrifice speed with the chest pouch and trigger protection but I carry a 1911 out there so pros and cons I guess.
As knee replacement time drew nearer and nearer I gave up ground sleeping almost entirely (except in no other alternative situations). Now it’s camping hammocks with down insulation. All I need is two appropriate anchor points and no widow makers above, it makes its own level ground and I sleep like an honest man.
I loved rock climbing...trying to rehab my body so that I can one day get back at it...love white water too! Most fun that you can do with your clothes on brother. I carry the glock20c with the same rig🤠👍
Helinox makes awesome products. I highly recomend their cots.i spend a minimum of 100nights/per year on mine as a wilderness fishing guide in the boundary waters canoe area. Its only a couple pounds so i can justify a good regenerative sleep every night vs throwing a pad on the ground, and tossing and turning all night. I have 4 years on my cot now with zero issues. The material is starting to fray on the head and foot end a bit now but around 400nights of use in summer and -35 minnesota winters, i feel ive got my moneys worth out of it.
Nice. A fly rodder! I carry a JP Ross 5 pc 5 wt. Nice and compact, but can still reach out pretty good on high mountain lakes out west or ponds up in the ADKs. I did the tenkara thing, which is cool until the fish start rising more than 10 ft away. 😂

It’s really refreshing to see a pro take that isn’t all Gucci gear.
Definitely,notice also alot of guci gear is never worn from use . Makes one wonder
The complexity and severity of need determine the required/recommended gucci level. Cheap saw because if it breaks he has a hatchet anyhow. For some people his G22 in a safariland with an X300 is probably considered gucci but if it cannot be allowed to fail, spend a little more.
@@K-bob_45 Glock Gucci? Maybe if it was a Salient….
@@01AceAlpha Not so much the glock but the light and the holster together cost more than the glock or the close to the same.
@@01AceAlpha lol I’d never say a Glock is gucci no matter the amount of lipstick but compared to a Ruger security 9 it’s gucci.
I’d be interested in hearing more about how you live off the land on your camping trips.
Hell - even a vlog on one of those trips would be amazing!
He mostly catches fish...unsure if he hunts much for small game during that time of year in the Bob. I know there are grouse and huge rabbit in there. A 40 cal would be overkill for a grouse.

He may already have it in his blaze ops site. Pay the full membership. He puts on cooking recipes haha.

Camping with Pat Mac would be a blast. Maybe a patreon offer…maybe a bit much. Thanks for the content!

It’s therapeutic for me too! Osprey packs are great!
Really appreciate you sharing knowledge great instructions from our countries best !!!!
Good looking out sir thank you. I'm going to definitely redo my camping gear and take your camping gears ideas instead.
I read "The men, The mission and me" about two years ago... Very interesting, historical critical in my opinion. tx for the transfer of knowledge SGM
I grew up close to the Bob, awesome you go there!
I had no idea that a telescopic fly rod was even a thing!
I'm going to check that out!
I feel like I just have to absorb this guy’s stuff. I’ve been binging everything of his I can find. Great stuff
Ditto that.
Check him out on The Joe Rogan Experience and The Jocko Podcast. Both podcasts are great.
