That “in-use” / demo video is on my list to go film, for sure! I’ll try to get to it ASAP. Thanks for the kind words about my videos…I’m glad you’re enjoying them!
1:58 There is a clip point by the handles on the titanium cup. You can run a tether up through the loop on the press and use a carabiner to clip it to your belt loop. If you are crafty and get the length right you can cinch it up higher by slipping it behind your belt, then through the loop on the press and clip it back to the titanium cup. (Hopefully those were clear enough, anything that allows you to free up your hands has value 👍)
Yes, awesome suggestion! I honestly need to remember that little clip/attachment point more often and make use of it...I always forget about it and just carry my bottle around *like a peasant*, haha!
I finally made a few separate kits for varied applications. The best example would be the banner message at 0:43 versus carrying redundancy while backpacking. Building a toss-n-go kit is critical. Something that changes a your day knapsack (containing lunch, a collapsible dog bowl and a wind breaker) into a comprehensive problem solving pack that is built off of the 10 C’s and contains A-Z life support. From hydration to thermoregulation. The other trickier but no less important kit is the gear carried apart from your primary pack but on your person, for unplanned emergencies. The hurdles that I had to overcome were cross loading (utilizing my pockets) and finding a fanny pack that could hold some things but wasn’t so involved that it disrupted the ergonomics of the hip belt system on my backpacks. 15 years ago finding the right “waist bag” (fanny pack) was more difficult than today. But my criteria were stolid, non negotiable and as follows. It had to hold 2-3 large fists worth of capacity. The belt had to be strongly sewn but low profile enough to create zero interference with my large packs hip belt. The bag had to be Cordura with chunky no-nonsense zippers. Lastly the pouch/bag had to lay perfectly positioned under my bellybutton and covering my pelvic area below my backpack’s hip belt and buckle. I finally found a 5L bag with two compartments made by Tommy Hilfiger. At Ross. (of all places) We should definitely set aside fashion concerns on trail in order to gain the carrying allowances of as many pockets as reasonable. I will add that like anything else there is a too much is too much factor to be avoided. Each is taken on a case-by-case basis. A proper shirt blouse can offer 3-5 pockets. Cargo trousers or (ugh) cargo shorts also add tremendous cross loading conveyance. The US Army Rangers teach loading one tool and one calorie dense bite in each pocket. Particularly during winter and fall a fantastic survival kit can be well planned and worn throughout one’s garments, on the belt, around the neck and even nested up in the crown of one’s hat. The journey starts here: “if I were 7 miles from my car, slightly sunburned, tired, the sun is going down in 40 minutes and my backpack-my house on my back-just floated down rapids or was carried off by a seriously pissed off bear (or nefarious person) or a nefarious person dressed as a seriously pissed off bear, could I set up a proper emergency bivouac/campsite? Could I keep myself warm, hydrated, safe and of reasonable mindset using the tools and gear carried on my person?” Lastly fair warning: there is no known antidote for this particular illness. Once you start within a few years you will likely have an entire room that’s basically your very own REI meets Cabella’s meets the Sportsman Lodge 😂😂 And you’ll carry the cleverest of doodads everywhere. Anyhow I hope this helps and I will see you all at the end of the world as we know it
These “toss-n-go” kits, as you’ve called them, are so critical. And it sounds like you’ve had a lot of experience with them as well, in the fanny pack form. It’s so nice to know that the essentials are covered in a small package like this and you can pack the bulkier stuff around it in a larger backpack/bag if needed (I.E. sleep gear if you’re planning an overnight, full cook kit if you’re wanting to make a meal outdoors…or even your work gear if you’re working further away from home, but still want some emergency gear). Thanks for dropping a comment about your approach and checking this out! PS: I haven’t covered my “on-person” EDC yet…But I fully agree about your logic here too. Pants pockets and jacket pockets are often underutilized (or people just don’t talk about them enough). But you can fit a lot of good kit into your pockets if you plan it right 😀🤙🏼
I always wondered how we survived before cell phones, tourniquets - It’s amazing how people used to leave their homes back in the 1900s with zero ability to stop the bleeding or call for help… 😬… 👍 I’m old enough to remember a 1980s rocker EDC was all you needed for a couple of days outdoors - knife, smokes (tinder) a lighter (fire) Multiple bandanna and a leather jacket even in the middle of the summer… 🤘
@@allenwurl6245 haha, yeah! I honestly overpack...because...well, gear is fun and I like to tinker with stuff while I'm out & have options to play with, lol. But, there are definitely times when I'm out and all I do is take a sip out of my water bottle, eat some beef jerky, start a fire and sit around (I have a video coming up about this actually).
I can always count on a very detailed and excellent video. This is an outstanding video. I hope you continue to make them looking forward to seeing the video on your loadout with the new grayl lumbar pack 4.5 liter mission.
Thank you so much for the kind words! That really means a lot and I'm so glad you enjoy the videos. I got the Grayl Hip Pack loadout dialed in this past weekend. Now, I've just gotta find the time to film the full video :)
You nailed it with what you said…”anyone and anytime” - This kit is there for me, my kids/wife, and anyone else who might need items in a pinch. I wanted to keep everything easy to use and straight forward 👍🏼 Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!
Excellent kit. Well thought out. I carry the full size Cold Steel SRK. It's favorite knife. One recommendation. Add a hot hands or two. They don't take up much space. Aside from the obvious use, I keep one with my water bottle to keep it from freezing during extreme cold.
Thanks for checking the kit out and for dropping a comment! These Cold Steel SRK’s are hard to beat, especially at their prices! I was pleasantly surprised when I started using them last year. Great recommendation and reminder on the hot hands! I used to use them a lot when I would deer hunt and they were lifesavers for my feet and hands. Cool little side note: The Hydrapak softflasks can handle boiling water…So, if you have two of them, they can act as hot hands in your jacket pockets (just make sure the lid is screwed on very well) 😀🔥
Anthony i love your videos, I found you on pinterest long time ago, also watched all your videos, keep up with work bro, i admire your color grading skills, and content is so on point, but your product photography... man thats some next lvl, i hope your yt channel grows big big! respect from Europe, 😂 but never the less, keep up with great work 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Ah, man! Thank you so much for those kind words - That really means a lot! I am glad you’ve been along for the ride so far - There’s a lot more to come 😀👊🏼
Really enjoying your video content! And your gear reviews are so helpful ❤ I's love to see some of your mini adventures...like just sittin by the backyard fire carving things up, or doing whatever you can to learn or practice new skills when you dont have a lot of time. Even 20-30 minutes a day spent outdoors getting Vitamin N is beneficial, and pracricing bushcraft skills makes it so fun.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad the videos are connecting with you :) These are some great topics to cover as well...Thank you for sharing what you'd like to see. I'm definitely planning on integrating some more "teaching" style content in 2025.
I really do love the SRK-C. The only thing I would recommend is a folding saw. I have a chest pack i carry that's pretty much my basic kit. All in all that's a really nice kit you've put together.
@@richardhenry1969 I was honestly kinda shocked that I was able to fit one in there with everything else, haha. But, I had that Silky laying around and it fit perfectly :)
awesome video Anthony (as always) how were you able to get the knife all orange? did you buy the sheath separately? I see variations of colors but not all in that configuration. some have black or purple blade but not orange handle or sheath.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. I made the Kydex sheath myself and I put orange scales on the knife 🍊🤙🏼
New subscriber! Love your content and I really love that desert night camo jacket/sweatshirt!! Do you mind me asking what brand and where did you pick it up?
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're digging the content :) The jacket is the "Wolfhound Hoodie" from Helikon-Tex. From time to time, Amazon have them available, but their inventory seems to go pretty fast. Here's the link: amzn.to/3Dr6Wmk Also, don't let the "hoodie" name fool ya...If you layer properly underneath this jacket, it is very warm for its weight & size. I've been wearing them for several winters now with great success.
Would love to see this kit used for sure! I have the same bag and always love seeing other loadouts! Love your work, keep on rocking brother!
That “in-use” / demo video is on my list to go film, for sure! I’ll try to get to it ASAP.

Thank god you got knife, those buccees chapstick a pain to open 😂
Shew…I need to add a little sharpener into this kit for whenever I’ve gotta open those Bucees wrappers, they’re like Kevlar 🤣🤣🤣
If you put the ranger band around the perimeter of the tin you water proof the tin.
Great suggestion! I have some larger ranger bands that I'll have to add around these tin-kits.
Nice kit. 👌
Thanks! I’m glad you dig it.
This is one of my favorite minimal kits to carry out on simple day trips.
I really do love the SRK-C. The only thing I would recommend is a folding saw.
I have a chest pack i carry that's pretty much my basic kit.
All in all that's a really nice kit you've put together.
The SRK-C is so good!
Also, keep watching, I've got a folding saw in here :)

Прикольный наборчик. 👍 🇺🇦

Carmex lip balm is better than any chapstick
I had totally forgotten about Carmex. I always had a round metal tin of that stuff in my pocket as a kid!
You're missing a trauma kit and a tq. Just my opinion but way too many Farro rods. Oz =lbs
I carry a TQ and trauma gear on my person if it won’t fit in the bag 👍🏼
