    Excellent kit scotty, if i could recommend one small thing to add when filming just incase is a 1-2m length of small gauge insulated copper wire, that way in a dire case you lost some gear you could start a fire with a camera battery using the wire on the positive and negative, probably very unlikely you may need it, but its cheap as chips, super light and may come in handy for other things. really enjoy your content scotty, all the best.

    Thanks for sharing Scotty! The only additional thing I'd carry is Celox powder in a 5g pack in the first aid kit. It's a clotting powder that gets you right outta trouble when the red stuff is leaking bad, even from something as simple as catching yourself on a silky saw. It also is great cause it's non surgical removal, some clotting powders are so effective they need surgical removal!

    • @helenaglanville9946

      @@sparrowflying864 in the military, simple super glue is at least as effective, only downside is the chemicals you put into your body, but same goes for everything you put in it these days and the "skin glue" is not much more healthy in reality. Neither is the clotting stuff. I just carry a small tube of super glue for really gaping cuts and wounds. Never had to use it though (knocking wood).

    Nice video. I don’t carry as much due to the camera gear really but one additional thing I do carry as part of emergency gear is a couple of feet of thin tubing ( bit of old dripped system from the garden actually) just in case I can’t find running water and I need to suck water out of the fork of a blood wood etc.

    @mickbeckers 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thanks for sharing Scotty. If you want to go lighter, you can shave off close to 250g by ditching the nalgene and replace it with a water bottle, attach a sports cap to your sawyer and carry the sawyer attached to the bottle. Sports cap easily back flushes the sawyer in the field and you can leave the syringe at home.

    I have wondered about those Dyneema packs, I really like the idea but I know from climbing that UV destroys Dyneema anchor slings and you should replace them every year. With our crazy UV ratings in oz I wonder about how long the pack material will last? Maybe they blend it with something and so its not like the climbing slings, Idk.

  • @richardrichards5982
    @richardrichards5982 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    100% agree with your assessment of first aid kits. Some are so ultralight that they really consist of a small bandage, a few bandaids, and some toothpicks. This is just shifting responsibility to a first responder in a real emergency. Scotty, your kit is really effective I think, at a low weight. The only other things I would consider is a SAM splint, a low weight splint to use in a snake bite or broken limb situation. The other thing is a tick killing cream, very small and light, but does a great job. Lyclear 30g is really good and cheap as well. Regards

    I thought that the X200 material on that bag was water proof to a mild degree - is it not? How is the stove you have there for wind resistance? I too think that light weight high quality down top quilts are a great way to go compared to sleeping bags, unless the temperatures drop very low. I think I. will take your advice and try the sawyer squeeze filter. So far I've always carried my water, as I tend to do long distance cycling and only two or three days for hiking.

      no one does, but you start with what you have and work up from there. most people with ultralightweight set ups and top notch gear didn't get that all at once, they buy piece by piece over years.

    That is a great Ultralight Backpacking Kit! Definitely no need to try and go lighter when you are still young and strong.
    So what do you think about doing Alone Australia Season 2 or does being stuck in the same general location turn you off the idea? You've got all the survival skills and experience but being stuck in the one location would be the big downside as well as being away from loved ones.

      No way that kit is ultralight in any way

      ​@@73N5H1 I was thinking the same thing recently and would love to see Scotty on the show!

    Great overview! I'm currently in the middle of changing my shelter set up. Been looking for a multi-use set up where I can double up my ground sheet as a hammock but it's looking like I will need to get it custom made because I haven't seen anything along the lines of what I want. I also don't use the trekking poles, though I figure for the size of that adjustable pole it would be worth the extra weight so you've got a double use.
    Agree with your first aid kit; compression bandages are a must for any aussie first aid kit, they're super versatile beyond snake bites (splinting, wound dressing, etc) and for anyone looking I would highly recommend the specifically designed ones with the squares on them, they're twice as long as most normal ones as well so you can sometimes get away with one if need be. The only thing I would add is some water purification tabs (In case your filter breaks) as they're super small and light weight.

    10 kilos! That's amazing, my day hike pack with no tent or sleeping gear is heavier than that.

    Hey Scotty, good kit. A tip for the Sawyer filter. There is a "Tornado" connection for the Sawyer to a clean water bag. Ditch the syringe. Connect the CNOC to the Sawyer and then with the Tornado directly to the clean water bag.
    No more spilling, hang the CNOC high for a gravity feed- and when you done just give the clean water bag a quick squeeze to backflush the filter.
