Great simple kit idea for hikers. We all need basics, but not a whole backpack. I'd also have something for medical like an ace bandage and/or gauze, a compass, and auditory signal device. Also a bit of thin, lightweight cordage.
Really smart and we think alike. 2 things to consider: 1- swap your current tarp for the sixmoondesigns gatewood cape. It’s a bit bigger of a shelter but serves as a rain poncho AND a tarp tent shelter. It’s like 14 oz and compresses very small. 2: maybe change to the grayl Fanny pack. It has a built in Velcro loop system to perfectly fit the grayl filter so it doesn’t flop around like your current setup. It also has another side water bottle container. And i think it would fit the gear you showed. Downside is it’s expensive for what it is.
Thanks for sharing. I like your choices. I wish all hikers would take your advice. Everyone should have water and something to make fresh water safe for drinking. Some type of shelter for weather protection is a must. Rope or string to attach the shelter to some stabilizer is helpful. A guaranteed way to build a fire (or two) is a potential life saver. Personal protection should always be carried anywhere you are, the woods or town.
I take my Hazard 4 Evac Plan B sling everywhere, I love the thing. It fits all my work stuff with room to spare and has enough molle that I can attach anything more I need to act as a day pack or overnight pack for tarp’ing and it’s comfortable and shoulder reversible too.
Im in the woods 4 days a week. Seasonally appropriate variables, but always have a knife, water, mosquito spray and headnet, and leather gloves, and cell phone...and a Glock 19X w extra mag.
Anyone carrying a remote hole punching device in a fanny pack may want to evaluate their device as to the possibility of it being activated by items in the front pouch during rigorous activities. Before kydex trigger guard covers were available, I carried with an empty chamber. The trigger guard covers usually have a hole in them that can be used to tether it to the fanny pack; so that will come off when you remove the device from the pack.
It's a great kit, similar mindset myself. Happy to see your channel grow and grow as I really like your content and approach to bushcraft. Cheers from north eastern WA.
Great video! I put togeiher a simular kit without tht pistol, and I carry a light poncho instead of a tarp, not the one use plastic ones, poncho is more versatile than a tarp
Roll your multiple plus around the waist strap and now you’re even more prepared. I keep mine handy to keep my backside dry when I sit in the woods. Ps like your T shirt.
This is haversack territory for me. Fast to toss on and doesnt interfere with my EDC like an extra waist strap from a fanny pack can. I dont like carrying off body because I might want to take the bag off to do something.
For small/limited kits, multipurpose items seems a must. I prefer a poncho/shelter with some cordage already tied to the grommets for a super quick plow point shelter. A contractor bag has lots of uses and some water tabs can purify water in any container you have or find.
Personally I'd trade the shelter for a compressible down vests, and one of those single use emergency poncho's or a good quality space blanket. If I can get a beanie hat and a couple of chemical hand warmers in there as well so much the better.
personally i'd throw in a cheap space blanket (you can put it down to stay out of the mud or wrap up in it if necessary!) some cordage (braided decoy anchor line is strong as hell and thin a 100 yards takes up no space!) and a light (a headlight being preferred!!)
Good comment, cordage and headlamp came to mind for me too. You can get such small headlamps now adays that are not the brightest in the world but practically take no space or weight. Maybe not 100% necessary but if I was stuck in the woods with no food for a couple nights having light would be a huge moral and logistical perk.
Critical additions to THIS load out that are tiny: Button compass Needle Dental floss Toenail clippers (your toes are your tires) Tweezers Swap out that fixed blade for a multitool with saw
Unless there's already one in your pocket I'd add some sort of light, and a whistle. Depending on where you're going a compass might be helpful too. Items swinging from a belt or pack can cause you to use more energy when walking to maintain balance. I'd carry that water flask in a holster or pouch rather than let it hang.
It’s a good kit, but I do think I’d add in a couple things and make a couple changes. 1. Heavy on the fire kit. I like having multiple redundancies for all four main survival needs aka shelter water fire food (in that order in my opinion) yet. The aviation tinder kit has multiple fire starters in it with a wheel striker, idk if you need the fierce fire or the vaseline soaked cotton balls. If it was me I’d sacrifice one of the fire tinders and put an extra mag for the hellcat In your pack. Yea food is a major part that’s left out, but there isn’t a lot of food that can help sustain you for any given period without just having more space to put more food. I’d also add a survival tin with all the things necessary. Items including a Mini fire steel, sail needle, Kevlar cord (50lb strength) Swiss Army knife, small medical supplies, mini knife sharpener, tape, signal mirror, small travel compass exc exc. I am a fan of minimalist survival kits so I had to put in my two sense. Oh ps. The t6zero is a Wonderful piece of survival gear
If you rolled your ankle? Do you crawl on your brlly to water and firewood? No PLB? What are the odds iSean Kelly and Dave Canterbury meeting on a trail and shooting it out over the best frying pan.?
The one survival skill no one practices on a regular basis, and is rarely ever talked about: Food deprivation. How long can you go without eating? Practice and find out now before you have to do it for your actual survival.
I don’t like dangling items like the water container. It is annoying as it moves independently and it takes a slight amount of energy from your gait every time it wobbles back and forth. This adds up over the length of your walk. I prefer a pack (fanny, shoulder, sling) with a bottle/canteen pocket.

No need for a lightsource, compass, cordage or rescue blanket, as long as you carry a firearm. Don't forget to spare one bullet for yourself, once your smartphone dies and you think about the powerbank that didnt fit anymore.
Just be aware that NOTHING screams “I’m carrying a gun” more than wearing a fannypack. It’s become such a trope that it is nearly practically synonymous.
A year ago, I would have agreed. Nowadays, I see so many men and women carrying a fanny pack out in the burbs where I live and in the big city. I think it's become mainstream enough that anyone can get away with it as long as it's not tacticool.
that one is way to slow if you need the iron he needs one with the velcro rip open feature!! i;'m in Ohio so open and concealed carry is no biggie i just strap up the most convenient way!!!
I usually go camping on my parents land out in the middle of nowhere so I never carried a handgun while camping. If I'm not camping there I'm usually hunting so a 7mm Magnum rifle would probably do the job if needed
You are a great TH-cam instructor for the people.

Someone who owns a Hellcat. Good choice :D

The Six Moon Designs gatewood cape is $165.00; we are talking about a day hike man
He's gonna carry what he sells
If the idea is to have a tarp and poncho combo, you can also get the USGI poncho. It's probably a bit heavier and less compact, but it's much cheaper.
CAT and a simple trauma kit is always good and compact. Always good to be able to stop a bleed, plug a hole, etc.
I can think of a couple of holes on this channel that need plugging😂

Never go into the woods without the Glizzy 🤘🏾
What do your leather gloves and cellphone taste like,.Do you roast them ovef a no smoke fire started with a genuine flintstone lighter.
Nicely done as always!!! Dam good info..
🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍🏻👍🏻
Dan , Outstanding.
Love your vids Dan. For a day hike you could also dump the Titanium Filter system and sub a LifeStraw and add a micro First Aid kit.
Great setup! Simple and effective as it should be.
Awesome video, just gave me some good ideas of a nice edc hike kit.

@@urielmartinez2161 yep, they make sturdy bivvy bags too.
@@urielmartinez2161 well i consider those disposable one time use items and tend to go cheapest possible!!
Love the fanny pack! I rock one on the homestead!
Small flashlight/headlamp, some nuts and one instant coffee or a teabag should be added. You won't even notice a difference in the loadout.
Got the pack on the back with Dan Wowak!
Critical additions to THIS load out that are tiny:
Button compass
Needle
Dental floss
Toenail clippers (your toes are your tires)
Tweezers
Swap out that fixed blade for a multitool with saw
DO NOT forget about *_Courier / Messenger Bags_* when planning for "greyman"

Short & sweet!!
Always wondered why you are so jacked and after years I have finally heard the word, GYM.
Flashlight or headlamp
Really cool stuff mate
What's up guys , stan the man with ccbc here....
I like the separate pocket for a pistol.
I see in the lil there is no light source… but a great video. Kudos
Good concept
If you rolled your ankle? Do you crawl on your brlly to water and firewood? No PLB?
What are the odds iSean Kelly and Dave Canterbury meeting on a trail and shooting it out over the best frying pan.?
Amen
Cool video
For me I don’t like things like a water bottle or anything else slapping the side of my leg while walking. Have a great weekend.
Where do you get the t60 shelter?
Did I miss a flashlight?
if you did i did too!
Is that the Standard Bando Bag? Thx
Add a flashlight and cordage and you are good to go.
Why a fixed blade and not a more compact folding?
Fixed blades are WAY more durable than a folder with breakable joint
Nice place to carry and hide the firearm 👍
The one survival skill no one practices on a regular basis, and is rarely ever talked about:
Food deprivation.
How long can you go without eating? Practice and find out now before you have to do it for your actual survival.
If you carry elsewhere, drop the fanny pack, roll your gear in a shemag. Tie around waist. Extra item!

This adds up over the length of your walk. I prefer a pack (fanny, shoulder, sling) with a bottle/canteen pocket.
Small boo boo kit would be a nice addition.
i would replace your tinder with hand sanitizer and a poncho might be better for day trip cause you can wear it in tain and sleep with it on no setup.
Do you really need an emergency shelter and water purification kit to go on a 30 min walk when your car is probably 1/4 mi away at the most?
I wouldn’t advise taking a pistol to metro parks, etc
Makes sense.
It’s still 80° in southern Louisiana 😂

I carry a fanny pack every day. Can?t beat it.

nice
almost the same edc my girlfriend carries mushroom hunting.
👍
Flashlight
I don't do dental floss no more.
Pfas is used in it.
If you don't have a fanny pack, "You ain't right''

Handgun in a fanny pack way to New Jersey for me.

@@keithmoore5306 ears perk up when the Velcro rips open.
Works great in warm weather if concealment is difficult.
Always carry a firearm !

Sorry I don't like fanny pack. For me sling bag or chest rig
Or fishing vest
