Jeff from across the pond in Alabama, USA. I have 3 bag setups. First is a daypack that I use for one day hikes that also doubles as a get home bag 1-2 days max. Weighs appox 15lbs, no water weight added. Second is my backpacking bag that is currently setup for 1-2 week max long hiking/ camping depending on food but also doubles as a farther distance get home bag. Weighs about 40lbs with food, no water weight added. My third is a very large hunting bag with an external frame capable of carrying up to 200lbs. It's my INCH bag if for some reason I have to leave home and travel somewhere long term off grid. I've still got some things to add and update. This bag is a work in progress and will prob be used in conjuction with a vehicle/ bike etc to help with the weight depending on the situation of bugging out. This bag is also setup with more primitive items whereas the first two are more convenient items that will not be useful after multiple uses i.e. propane cooking stove, MREs, etc.
Loved the video though and will def help me as I rebuild my INCH bag.
Hi there Jeff thanks for the view and comment. Sounds like a very clear plan you have, very similar to mine as I also have a few bags. First is my brew bag for day hikes then the bug out bag as shown about a month ago. I also have a weekend bag based around a 50 ltr pack and then the INCH bag. All the best my friend.
I've seen a lot of camping videos but I've never seen a bag like this so organized (they should learn from you)
From Morocco 🇲🇦 ♥️
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
No I'm Josh from Florida not Bob but I'm actually in Florida I like watching these Bag videos from all over the world and finding out other gear and other equipment that people use outside of the US thank you very much for the video
No thank you for the time and comment Josh. Stay safe bro.
Chrissy from all over USA , Egypt, Peru a 60+ old Explorer and I love the " Karrimor SF Sabre 45 with rocket Side Pockets " my kit is heavy also as I go into the wild for up to 5 years at a time. Hands on skill primary , then Gorilla proof tool. I live with indigenous people and learn there ways. It's a great life. Great video thanks
That sounds like an awesome gig you have. I’ve used the SF 45 and like it a lot. Thanks for taking some time out to watch my video more to come soon.
Justin from Ohio here. Very well put together bag. Curious as to weight? I noticed that your gear is quality. Which is important. As you have said, different locations, skill level and situations dictate what is in a bag. I would be very comfortable just grabbing your bag and going. That may be the highest compliment I could give…you have covered the basics, and I believe you have actually used your gear( many do not, they just buy and hope for the best) I also appreciate the addition of gear that makes you comfortable. What many fail to realize, is that yes you can go out and do all the things we do.. but being comfortable or adding a piece of kit that makes you comfortable ( or saves you time) is well worth the weight. You have everything organized, protected and that is crucial.( no fumbling around looking for something) keep up the great work!! If you ever come to Ohio, you have a standing offer to look me up and I will take you on an adventure! ( as a side note, if you would like a great vacation… I’ll be doing a boundary waters expedition this coming September. One week as a camping canoe trip, and the continuous week a survival week. I have enough room left on my permit if you are interested.
Hi there Justin at the time I had no scales so I reckon it is all in 59lbs, without the solar panel and shovel much less. Although, there are lots of compartments of gear the main sack really only holds sleeping bag and hammock and my pillow a real game changer. I hate when you have to scrunch up some clothes to try and get a good nights sleep. Just been off and checked out your channel and of course subbed you up 👍 I will keep your kind offer in the bag my friend I’ve been in America a few times but just as a tourist, so I’d love to get out on a proper adventure. You sound like a well experienced survivalist (Love the prepping stuff) and of course the offer goes two ways my friend.
@@STIXSURVIVAL in full disclosure, I have been a bushcrafter for a very long time, started a channel a year ago. And well as I write this I am laid up with my third major surgery in two years. Sooo haven’t done much with the channel. As soon as I can use my arm again I’ll be posting more videos ! Ty for the sub! My wife and I have been talking of crossing the pond… so maybe I can let her shop for a couple days and go hit the woods! There are so many of us across the globe that share the passion of being in the outdoors.. good people all of them. And learning from others really does make the experience of nature so much better! Thanks for your kind response!
Yeah I know that feeling I’ve just been through the big C (Throat) for the past two years so I feel for you. (All good now just had the last piece of my treatment this month to rebuild my back jaw. Hopefully, you’ll get up and out real soon bud. Here is what I love doing the most.
www.survivalschool.co.uk/ian-moran/ Hope you can muster a good New Year and hopefully, get you back soon
@@STIXSURVIVAL ty and god bless your recovery!!
@@STIXSURVIVAL awesome school! I’ve taken courses at the Pathfinder school( Dave Canterbury) enrolled in his instructor program. The one thing I can say is that even if you know how to do something, learning from someone else’s perspective can really, really help you understand the how and why of even the simplest task. Once you understand how and why something works, doing it becomes so much easier in any situation. And that is the end goal, being efficient and competent in any environment. ( now how do I retire and travel the world taking classes from so many great people?) lol if I figure that out , I will see you soon, lol.
Good evening sir. My name is Craig and I’m from Connecticut, USA. I like how you have everything in dry bags. I went with a less expensive option and use various sizes of ziplock freezer bags. I have multiple ways to start a fire and multiple ways to treat water. I have a stainless steel canteen with a nesting cup, a Sawyer, a Grayl and water purification tablets. I also carry a sillcock key mostly for urban areas to get water. The headlamp I use has various levels of brightness and a red light. It has a rechargeable battery and also takes AAA batteries and I pack a charger that can charge AA and AAA batteries. I use a Streamlight lantern that takes AA batteries. I carry a light tarp on the outside of my pack that I can set up in no time. I also carry an emergency bivy that is a SOL brand. I also carry a few bandannas that have multiple uses, one being a way to prefilter water. I made a small survival kit that I saw on the Ranger Fieldcraft and Survival page. You have a lot of great ideas, keep up the good work!
Hi Craig, thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment on the video. I like the fact you put in where you come from as I genuinely love to see where people watch from. Your kit sounds spot on and I can see that you have tailored it to your needs. I get a lot of comments saying that I should have this or that but a TH-cam video is just a snap shot in time, not a fully laid out detailed plan for the zombie apocalypse 😂 😂 I too have the sol type bivi bag. Again thanks for time to watch and comment. Hopefully, you have subbed the channel for future content, if not keep doing what you love doing mate.
10/10 video Mr. Mo, watching from Cardiff and been lurking around your channel for years. You're the reason why I have an orange emergency lighter that is always full but never gets used, just in case. Glad to hear that you're well and back on TH-cam man, look forward to the next one.
Brilliant thanks for your time and comment. You guys are the reason why I’ve got started again, what a great community to be in. If you have something you’d like me to do just shout? Hope that lighter still works
Fantastic INCH bag with so many quality items in your kit. Well thought out and very organized. I've been thinking on adding a tripwire alarm to my kit in an attempt to prevent any surprise visits during the night. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers from Texas!
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch. Yes I have had similar thoughts about protection from undesirables, certainly not running away from them with this lot 😂
Excellent equipment i hope you are fit enough to carry it
Thanks for view and comment friend. I’m getting there
i hv a HUGE bug out bag, and it's HEAVY as U know what...
That's Y i let me girlfriend carry it
@Tom Catt LOL you just won the internet
I was thinking same ,same...that a LARGE pack to tote. Best be in tiptop shape to haul that , particularly through the bush.
Get video ice got the exact bergen as you've got yourself im nearly out in most weekends away with my bergen I was wild camping in snowdonia area just me my basha hooped bivvy some amazing views. Weather was great too
Hi my name is Jason from Ontario Canada. I built mine in tan, green or camouflaged and my kit is army based like an offensive/defensive set up. Full army uniform, rifle carrying bag with armour, 1 rifle, water bladder. I carry a full snugpak 6 piece sleep system and food for a week. I got tons of other stuff in my bag I won’t go through it all it’s quite basic stuff like a shovel, saw, axe and whatnot. I build a chest rig into a forward plate carrier for use with the backpack. It’s loaded with kit like throwing knives, baton, defensive bear spray, army knife, flashlight, compass, gps, monocular, room for 3 rifle mags and 3 handgun mags. I have drop leg handgun holster on the right and a nice size drop leg fold out med kit on the left Thats my if I’m on foot set up. I got a bunch more stuff I can change things on the go in my bug out trailer. I got many other items like tents and folding chairs Camo tarps and more camping and survival gear. I also have over two years food locked up in my trailer. The back of my hummer has a fold down bed for sleeping and I have everything else I need to survive in the trailer like a 300ah 600 watt solar system, portable toilet and shower system. Extra ammunition. I customized a tent stove that runs on wood or coal and mounts beside me on the right rear door and has a custom window piece to run the stove chimney out the window. I also have a Camo hot tent I can run the same stove in that’s stored in the trailer. It’s taken me so long to get everything together it’s unreal. I got things I haven’t even mentioned but how can you show it all without making a video on my set up. It’s becoming quite advanced I think. I’m happier than shit knowing I got what it takes no matter what situation I run into. It’s a constant process of checking new stuff out and replacing old stuff with new and better. I got like 25 grand spent in two years or more and that includes the trailer and the hummer.
I’d like to see that video bud. Thanks for the time sure looks like your committed.
Fantastic setup - never seen a better one. Best regards from Germany.
Thanks so much for the view and comment.
Very informative! Thank You! Fred Fath from the USA , New Orleans, Louisiana area.👍👋
Thanks so much for the views and comments, I really appreciate it and I love to see who and where people watch from. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Love that pack, but not one likely to be found here in Florida. I think a true INCH bag is almost impossible to carry as you would need traps, fishing gear and both heavy winter gear and summer gear. Great video
At last someone that agrees with me, yeah I feel the same about the whole concept of living out of a pack indefinitely. Thanks for your time and comment. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
If you lose the axe and one of the saws, some of the cooking equipment, maybe cut down on some clothes (ex, only carry one raincoat), limit to one light source, limit to one shovel... you will save probably over 5kg without losing any functionality whatsoever.
N.K. from USA here, my experience is survival in the sierra nevadas, CO rockies, and appalacians... but mostly the sierra nevadas on the PCT! :)
Good Video….. Nice organized go bag, very efficient use of space using that gear backpack / go bag!
Thanks for taken the time to view and comment
I’m in Mississippi in the USA. Been looking for good suggestions on a good ruck shack load out. Lot of videos on how to pack it with proper load on bearing weight but not what to pack. While everyone be everyone would be different depending on location. This is the best inch bag load out I found
Thanks brother
Hi there David, thanks so much for your time and effort to watch and comment. Kind words indeed.
Great vid! I pack heavy with everything I may need. My theory is if it gets to heavy I can “stash” unneeded items for later use/retrieval. I also pack a 110 conibear trap…way easier than having to do all the bushcraft traps, reusable forever and always ready to use. Central New York State.
Nice one sounds like a plan. Thanks for the time and comment all the best.
I agree on the stash protocol, my build is the same, webbing belt, main Bergen and then four rockets on a yoke as a running pack.
Bergen is stashed first, then running pack and I still have essentials in the webbing, if that needs stashing I have a 10x4 grabby bag that's basics.
Modularity is king imho 👍
Norm from Atlanta, Georgia USA. Enjoyed your video. You have an interesting collection of camping gear that is clearly tailored to suit the environment you will be enjoying.
Hi there thanks so much for the views and comments. I’ve been to Florida a few times and would love to get a peek a Georgia one day. It looks a fantastic place. Stay safe my friend.
Awesome video, I from Arizona (four corners)
Thanks for the time to watch the Video, sure is awesome seeing where everyone comes from
jason from London just watch this video and don't think you will see this comment. But loved this loved this video really useful thanks
No I try to make a point to answer everything that comes my way. Thanks you for your time to watch and comment and it’s excellent that you find it useful. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Like your bag, like your contents,

Just over the pond on the Isle of Man. Brilliant video.🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲
Hi there and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Are you planning any more uploads?
@@STIXSURVIVAL yes I am hoping to sort some out. As you know, the Isle of Man is famous for the TT and I am heavily involved training all the marshals. I am looking to sort some out when I get a quite day. Hope you are well.🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲
Paul - East Yorkshire.
Excellent video! I see many of my own principles in your thinking regarding choice of items, packing and organisation. Very well thought out 👍
Thanks for the views and comments Paul.
Great video with some excellent ideas! You have some good, practical ideas for people that enjoy the outdoors. I'll have to try some of that here in Texas.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment my friend. Hopefully, more to come.
From Dumbarton first time viewer. Now a subscriber great video informative and well worth watching thanks
Thanks for your time welcome on board.
Great video! Dan; Winchester, Virginia (USA). You all on the other side of the ocean (pond) have some great gear ideas and I am a huge fan of the long coats you guys get that we don't necessarily get in the US. Keep it up! Cheers!
Thanks for comment and view Dan. All the best from Scotland 🏴
Hi from Norway 🇳🇴
Every thing you need in that sac.
But I am very suprised that you don't have your sleepingbag/madrass/hammock in a waterproof bag. It is so vital importent to keep your bed dry.
Bon camino 🌿🔥🌺🌿
First up thanks for the time and effort to comment. I’ve never had the pleasure to visit Norway but it is on the list. Yes the sleeping bag can go inside the large orange bag the solar panel is in. I do have a large bag the whole lot can go in. Watching it back you’re probably right and I should go look it out.
SE Michigan here. I like those Milbank bags. Looking forward to adding one to my outdoors / camping kit. Thanks for showcasing all of your bag contents. It's always cool to see the methodology and reasoning for the inclusion of items. Have a Great Day!
Thanks for your time to watch and comment. Yes they are great bits of kit.
Nice to see another video come up, looking forward to the individual kit ones. One suggestion: Try and include Amazon links etc on the items listed, it makes life easier if you want to source anything yourself.
Hi there as always thanks for your support and yes that seems like a plan thanks.
Amazon is for sheep
Don't buy anything from Amazon. Bezos is one of the woke global egomaniacs funding the ongoing destruction of Western society (i.e. probably the very reason you're watching videos like this one). Why the hell would you want to give him any of your money??
Deborah from Lancashire,loved watching this ,the only thing not included was the kitchen sink,if your off to the wilds might as well be comfy,the slippers are a nice touch.
For more truck life camping see some great shots here. instagram.com/stixsurvival?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Think there is a sink somewhere. Thx again for your time
Definitely the best bug out bag review on TH-cam! Just found your Chanel and now subscribed. Great Chanel. Paul from Ireland 🇮🇪
Cheers Paul much appreciated my friend. Definitely more to come from me, your kind words keep me motivated. Of course greetings from Scotland 🏴 hopefully, we’re back in the club soon 😂
Wonderful video! FWIW, I'm in SW Montana, USA. I camp and hike in some pretty wild places as we have vast tracts of fairly pristine forests and mountains (over 240 named peaks in the 10,000 ft or higher range). My gear choices kind of mirror yours. Generally there's plenty of water, and unless a wolf has killed an elk and it's in the stream you can often drink the surface water untreated. Plenty of springs as well. My main focus is on thermoregulation. It's not at all uncommon for a hot summer day to be 30 degrees C yet it still gets down to -1 C a lot of the nights. As you say, something to sleep on, in and under! So I focus on fire & shelter, with a few tools, first aid stuff and navigation. A knife, a saw, a tarp and a good fire kit will go a long ways here.
Great to see you back again!🙌🔥😎
Absolutely love your set up. And I myself think the pathfinder Bergen is the ultimate pack. I haven't seen anything better. Really interesting and can't wait for the next one!
Thanks so much for the view and nice comment. More coming soon
@@STIXSURVIVAL Dee - London 👍
Enjoyed the video learnt a lot. Im Ross from near Newcastle in Australia. Was in Scotland in June 2022.
Great Video, especcially discussing the Bug out/carring of the weight. Without a regular exercise program; the older "Rambo's (as well as the younger) will not make it more than a few hundred yards before becoming winded. A sound rucking program is required to allow "bugging out" Even here in the US I see pleanty of 300+lb. armchair preppers/hero's making static video's. Many never thing that health is a key component in any survival situation.
Thanks for your time to watch, yeah I’m not a fan of the so called inch bag. I truly believe you cannot live from one, short term yes, long term no way. My pack is to be transported in my truck to my bug out location, once there, hopefully, you will have the resource necessary to stay long term. My next video will focus on bug out and the kind of pack you might wish to carry, generally never more than 10% of body weight. Plus caches along the way if needed to go on foot.
Di from Canada 👋 what a great pack! I'm always looking for colder weather packing and you nailed it! Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to watch Di,it’s much appreciated. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Bang on mate
Scott from London
Your channel has been great. Good video and a reasonable and planned set up. Thanks
Thanks so much for the kind words my friend. Hopefully, more to come
I have the tasmanian ? Just got it I always used a kelty phantom 66 and went light.befor that I did a London Bridge l g pack I might go back to like your organization just started hot tenting with my dog he don't like the hammock I push him out so we will be tent camping thank you so much for the videos stay frosty mate.
Hi there thanks so much for the views and comments, hope you subbed up? Much more to come. Hopefully, you get a good nights sleep with the tent and of course the dog will love it.
This guy has a great kit very similar to mine. There’s so many videos on these bags and very few that are realistic and cover the difference between what you actually need in the field
So many things I wanna talk about with this video lol good job man
Hi there thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment on the video. If you have a similar setup to me, then you must be a top bloke indeed 😂 Greetings from Scotland 🏴 my friend
I'd never take a bag that's more than 30 lbs, I'd rather bury cashes in around my Bug out location with comfort items and items that I need to replenish, like freeze dried foods, dried foods in mylar bags with oxygen obsorbers, sugar, and other spices, hygiene items, first aid items, clothes.
Burying cashes is the best way to have items at the location without having to carry the whole house with you on your back.
Hi there and thanks for the views and comments. I like that idea and have toyed with it in the past. I agree you should try and go light especially if walking. 50+ pounds is a lot to carry. I sure wish we had the kind of land you guys have. I’m presuming you are from the states?
@@STIXSURVIVAL Yes I am from the US raised in Alaska, so I hike many trails in the Alaskan wilderness.
@@Arizona_Skin_Walker Brilliant mate stay safe.
Phoenix AZ here Ian but have operated around the world. Having cache locations is a great idea (We did in some countries for when things go south). Only issue there is that you can't rely on them because you may not be within reach of your nearest cache when you actually need it and the location where it is may become impassible due to hostile presence or natural occurrence. In those cases, you can only use what's in your pack or what you can gather, but you'll still have to fit it in your pack if you have to gather thing to use that you can't easily just recreate (such as tinder).
@@AdventuresofGraywolf Thanks for the views and comment my friend.
aye aye min, Ross from Inverness, crackin video pal
Cheers for your time Ross, good to see another local here 😂
Appreciate the video, enjoyed watching. I always find it interesting seeing how everyone packs their different bags. I'm new to all this but have always enjoyed outdoors (fishing etc). I live in Somerset but look forward to going further afield like wales and Scotland to explore a bit.
come to Wales Jimmy good carp fishing loads of spots for stealth~wild camping..
Miguel northern california! Thank you for the content! Great advice!
No thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
Al. Perthshire. Hi Ian, have subscribed to your channel having watched this video, the first of yours that I have watched, after seeing that you had filmed at the Ford at Little Glenshee. An idyllic part of the country and one that I have frequented all through my life. Have made route from there on many a hike.
Looking forward to watching all the other videos you have produced.
Keep up the great work.
All the very best👍
Thanks so much for the Sub my friend. I was doing Videos a few years back, but the past couple of years has been a bit rough for me. However, I’m back now. Yes real beautiful place is Perthshire absolutely love getting out and about especially in the winter months. Nice to hear from someone that knows the area. All the best mate stay safe.
@@STIXSURVIVAL I ommited to mention in initial comment that that is a quality INCH pack set up you have there
I don't think Britain has enough "wilderness" left for half the preppers in the entire country.
Richard from deep in the Pineywoods East TEXAS...GREAT job and presentation.
Thanks for the view and comment. Hope to bring more soon.
Just googled Pinewood’s east Texas. Beautiful looks stunning.
I love yours jacket
Well done! From South Florida long time outside guy you've got some great kit I like your thought process quite an effort you've put into it ! a lot of people can learn very much from . safe brother. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos
Thanks so much Dave, more to come in the new year. Really going to deep dive a few subjects.
Great video and great job. I'm in the woods once a week for the last 32 years. My bag is 19.6 pounds. My bag evolved into what it is now after starting at 45.5 pound's several years ago. I'm an ex Army Ranger. I'm from south central Louisiana USA. Still do military hikes. I recently made 61 days out of my current bag. The only reason I came home is because I got called for a job. It worked out great. Going back soon. I have a total of 11 kits all in the same weight range. I practice with one and the rest are cached. I'm now 64 years old and I love my life. No regrets.
Charles 🪖🇺🇸❤️
Thanks so much for the views and comments my friend. Great your still out and about, thanks for your service. I was 1st battalion Black Watch Royal Highland Regiment.
Pedro fae Fife, a lot of Gucci kit there saan and defo not one for the beginners, but as you've worked your ticket to get there and you've proved it all works (for you) all I can say is it's a great looking set up and aspirational for peeps to aim for.👍
I've just joined your channel so not been through your back catalogue yet so don't know if you've got a video for the beginner just starting up. It would be good to see what items you used when you first started and why you shelved them for the items you have now and how your loadout has evolved!
Btw, I don't usually comment on these type of videos but felt yours deserves the credit. now you need to educate those wi aw the gear an nae idea!! Keep these videos goin neebs! Cheers!!
Thanks for the comments and views bud. Yes you are on to something there, I like that idea. Coming up hopefully before Christmas is a survival tin that can be knocked together fairly cheaply and can work wonders in any event. I have a bag that costs £12 so perhaps I could do a night in the woods aimed at the beginner. Also just to let you know I’m getting an operation in Dec so might have a delay in content but will be back at as soon as possible. Again thanks for content ideas. Hard to imagine your just down the road.
Good show Mr Mo, keep them coming
Cheers mate much appreciated.
sam, NW UK. lots of great ideas here. got me inspired to set up my camp bag! just purchased the savotta jaakari m for hiking camping and this was a good video to get me inspired ! thanks for the great content
Hi Sam, it’s me that should be thanking you for your time and comment. Happy travels I’m off to see your pack 😂
@@STIXSURVIVAL 😁
Very nice pack, that support will be nice on the hips for sure.
@@STIXSURVIVAL can't wait to get out and test it, will be getting some side pouches as well to up the capacity for overnighters :D
Hi Andrew from Australia, previously South Africa. One of the better kits, but not quiet an INCH bag, light on food gathering, fishing hunting trapping, seeds etc.. In Aus one needs a head net for flies and mosquitoes.
Hi Andrew thanks so much for the view and comments. Yes I agree with the comments as stated at the start, I’m unsure if it’s possible to live long term from a pack as in I’m never coming home.
@@STIXSURVIVAL Yeah, one has to take 2 bags one with all the gear and one with food. A trolley of some short to carry it all.
Enjoyable video. Great gear choices!
Thanks so much for your time and comments.
That's fair comprehensive. 👌 I have been looking for that kind of Bergen at a price I could afford. I like the ALICE packs our cousins use across the pond. I have a long and short back and the tumble shell engineers pack. I do have a NI pack to come. Good video. Subbed.
Cheers for the views and comments bud. Subbed you back I really like the idea of not throwing away good food keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing some more.
Great bag and how you outfitted it with the waterproof bags in the individual pouches is perfect. I'm from Hampton, Virginia, USA just down from Colonial Williamsburg. Your kit is amazing. I was wondering about food, but you solved that problem which looked delicious. That is nearly as big as my US Army surplus molle 2 main bag. I love the ourside pouches. Where I live we have hurricanes so my get-home and my inch bags are built around possilbly not having anything to come back to. Amazing ruck you have. Take Care and Stay Safe, my friend across the sea.
Thanks so much for the views and comments. I can imagine what you must need for that. Jesus we get the tail end of hurricanes over here in Scotland and the wind on the west coast is insane. We suffer constant rain here hence the need to keep gear waterproof. One minute can be 22 degrees followed by torrential rain 😂 Will do a video of a night out with this pack at some point.
loved this video, some really great tips/ ideas for making my own INCH bag. (Ontario Canada)
Hi there and greetings from Scotland 🏴 Thanks so much for taken the time to watch and comment.
Datz a BIG bag👍🤣👍
Cheers for the view and comment my friend
Not a bad set for your AO, from my limited understanding of it. Im from North Central Alberta, Canada and have been bushcamping most of my life.
Appreciate the view and thanks for the comment. You sure live in a wonderful part of the world.
Ever see Big Foot while camping ?
Jabbo from Arkansas enjoyed the video I use an lpce Bergen myself
Thanks for the views and comments my friend and Yes nice pack.
Great build. I live in central Florida Thanks for your video
Thanks for the view and comment
Jason from minnesota. I love your ruck. It's a great lookin bag. Definitely lotsa pockets!!!! Do u like having all those pockets or if u had a choice wud u just want molle panels?...So u cud put on ur own pouches and organize? My packs have good amounts of molle. I've noticed here in America we are molle crazy!! Packs here tend to use alot of molle. Molle and straps. I hope ur pack is compressible. Compressible is so helpful. Good luck and I recommend that u practice wearing ur bag and exercising like walking etc with this pack on. Ok be well and blessings to u!!! Keep doing what ur doin!!!
Yeah I love the fixed pockets as I’ve found with the Molle it can never be tight enough on packs. Yes the side pockets can come off and then the zips from each side zip together to make a much more slender pack, same as the top medic pouch. The side pouches can also zip together to make a patrol pack. The way the pack is organised makes it big and bulky which a few folk have made comment on, but in fact I’ve seen other such videos on TH-cam which although a smaller pack weigh much more. If I cut the crap out I can get it down to 16 kg which is 35lbs. In this format I can easy walk 20k (12 miles) per day. I made the pack up for long term comfort and easy access to those vital items. When I teach I set up base camp throw the patrol pack together and just take the water filter and brew kit, knife and saw for normal daily tasks. Thanks again for the time to watch and comment, much more to come soon I’ve just had jaw surgery so can’t really speak at the moment and I’m no fan of the ones without communication.
@@STIXSURVIVAL I hope u heal quickly!! Blessings towards healing. Thankyou for getting back to me. Be well.
Great Video, Love from the US.
I don't have anything electrical as survival. A small radio could come in handy but definitely no tracker (phone).

Richard: Cornwall. Thanks for your time and effort, much appreciated. That long jacket inside the burgun looked good. What was it called? Thanks again.
Hi there no thank you for the time to watch and comment. Here is a link to the smock, it is expensive but if the outdoors is your past time it’s worth it. wildstags.co.uk/products/swazi-tahr-anorak?variant=14001498119 They do a lighter version these days with hand pockets.

Thanks for the video! This Rod in Indiana 🇺🇸
Thanks for the time to view and comment Rod.
That pack looks amazing! But I guarantee I’d have it packed up to 30 kilos in a heartbeat 😂. That’s A LOT of pockets! Great collection of gear. The first time I brought a shovel I suddenly discovered a 100 uses for it! Don’t bring one every time but it can be handy. Since I’m in the USA I will have additional “gear” including some Bear Spray that you aren’t allowed to have. I’m curious as to what that pack weighs when it’s empty.
Hi there and thanks for your time to view and comment on the video. The pack is 3.2 kg so 7.05 pounds, I’ve attached the link for the newest version of it so you can stuff it full of your things 😂 Yes I’m often tempted to cram more in that’s why I only put the hammock in the main compartment, well almost 😅

The pack in the link is the consumer version. I have the issue one which is harder to find.

I just saw your video "the inch bag". Great video, I like the pack and items you carry. I would love to have a copy of your packing list and where I could purchase the rucksack.
For the channel: how to set up everything, using it for the bushcraft and tactical situation.
Thanks

Here is a link to the new version of the pack. If you search Air Support pack you may still be able to find the surplus one in the video. Side pouches come from another pack called Web Tex Ultimax. Here is a link to a very similar one which is complete

Great idea to get out and show the set up. I have one on my mind to do soon and I will add this to the list, at that point I will post the pack contents.
For a bug out/INCH bag that is too heavy with a lot of unnecessary stuff, and you're dependent on a vehicle because you bergen is to heavy. You need to be able to tab/ruck for distance per day overland in a lot of SHTF scenarios.
Wow that hammock takes alot of space!
Thanks for the time bud. Yes it’s the way I’ve packed it. The sleeping bag and pillow together with the down under blanket all attached for easy set up. You can of course pack them all separately in there individual stuff stacks which takes up quarter of the room.
Yore pack is a 8.9 it can be approved ❤
Great kit 👍 looks good Dave Philippines
Thanks so much for your time to watch
Hi from France! 🇨🇵 🍾
Thanks for your time
Good job man you have a whole house in a bag/
Thanks so much for the comment and view. I just need to work out where the the sink goes
Hello hope your well just discovered your channel👍great review really thought out it takes time i know that much i would love one day to do a course with you guys have a Blessed day...🙏👍😁👍
Hi there Dean. Thanks so much for your comment and time to watch. You’re more than welcome here anytime
The only thing you need, firesteel knive bottle tarp and a arctic sleeping bag and rain gear and good winter clothes. Knowledge hunting fishing mushrooms. And test your stuff and try to survive in the winter.
Super well thought out!
Brilliant really well thought out, anything extra I’ve put in with your sewing kit and a roll of tape
How you doing friend !
Been fine tuning my gear for some time now and it's spooky how similar it is , no what you mean about the weight thing as I'm pushing sixty
And a 23killo packs no fun to carry any distance ! I usually use a gortex Dutch army bivvy bag and 3x3 aquaquest tarp in plough setup ,
Don't carry many electronics just rations .....
Great video , All the best , stay safe ......
Tam-C from Glasgow
Cheers Tam. Yeah I also have a Dutch bivvy bag which gets a lightweight thermarest stuffed inside great bit of kit. Not sure if you follow the channel or not but I’ve been pretty ill for a few years so not able to carry much. Next vid full on truck camping. Thanks for the views and comments

Hi
Sorry didn't know about your health situation my friend , hope you are well and of good cheer
I too have had strength issues from health issues... Plus I've always been built like a racing-snake 🤣

Wow safe travels
Greets from Israel!
Do you have any suggestions for desert bugging out? 95% of all preppers talk about woods and all of them will hunt each other out there when it will come to the SHTF situation... So there must be a plan B to seek for a shelter in a place that most of us won't want surviving there - the deserted areas. It's much more difficult to survive there but you know, it's all about faith and will. Nothing is impossible. Less humans - better surviving chances are.
Get ready for a real case scenario, Russians (& co.) will not stop. God bless you and your relatives.
Hi there and thanks for taking the time to view and comment on the channel. I believe you are the first from Israel 🇮🇱 👍 Now I’m no expert on the desert but I’d definitely go heavy on the shelter and water. I guess the only real way would be to have a defined place and ensure you have cached supplies and then carry enough water to get you there. Of course the desert will be freezing at night so prepping your chosen area is key to survival, I’m sure there are lots of caves and things out your way to hide in, I mean the Dead Sea scrolls lasted 2000 + years 😂 Your right, man has lived in every environment so it’s a case of watch and learn from the locals. I’d love to see hear about this on a channel?
Well, the thing is this is a small country and walking dozens of kilometers into nowhere is not an option because every 10 kilometers there is a settlement, small town, bedouins villages etc. so it is difficult finding "a safe uninhabited area", plus IDF is everywhere.
I was thinking about starting digging an underground shelter in the desert but I've been almost arrested when I came to the spot for the third time with my tools. Law restrictions 🤦🏻♂️
I think for the first 3 months we need to bug in and wait, unfortunately, untill the first wave of social panic will finish its job, then bug out.
Dead sea caves and all natural shelters will be the first option that will pop up in people's mind so it's not an option.
Seems that on this land we must gain faith in God besides our prepping skills. Gonna be interesting and difficult at the same time.
Maybe, if you'd like, you can talk about shelters, safe areas, where people should bug out and where they shouldn't, about the collective thinking that most of us Think we will be "there" alone but we will definitely meet solo survivals and even groups of them and God knows what can be in their heads.
I haven't seen all videos so I don't know whether you raised that issue or not (sorry), but I feel people must understand that each and every person thinks mostly alike others so there are lots of chances places we all plan bugging out there will be taken already or will be visited after we settle there.
This is so complicated 🤔
Good video, new sub from southern West Virginia, USA.

Thanks for the view and comment Adam
great video Leonard Texas/Idaho I love the way you have waterproofed your kit it provides for a lot of way to carry water if needed. Only one question what is the brand of the shovel you have in your kit
Hi there thx for taking the time to watch and comment. Just waiting for the weather to break to get the next one on. The shovel is as follows

And the cover:

All the best my friend.
Very complete excelent! Nice bag
Thanks for the kind words and view.
Great vid, love the tardis bag🤣nearly choked on me pint when you pulled the hammock out!
I have a bit of catching up to do with your videos but so far so good. 👍🏼I'm thinking about buying the highlander 44 litre Pro force rucksack. For weekend hiking / camping. Any chance of a review or just let me know what you think of the bag personally. Cheers mate, Jimmy Scott. Essex, UK.
Hi Jimmy thanks for the views and comments. Some people have a right old pop at the highlander brand but in my opinion the ones under 50 litre are generally OK. Once you go over the 50 litre mark the stitching tends to be not as good but you get what you pay for. If you intend it for the odd weekend trip then crack on mate. That said, how far are you walking, what kind of weight will you carry? Don’t go to large or you just carry more.😂 Says the man with a shed on his back. I had a 18 litre one for years just to head off for day trips and never had any issues. Hope that helps you. I have spent a lot of money over the years and now have the best of stuff but it’s really not necessary for the odd weekend away.
@@STIXSURVIVAL thanks for the advice mate. I'll keep looking, maybe same brand but a little lighter. Keep up the good work with the vids. I'm always looking for new takes on tried and tested ways /tools/methods. Anything. My philosophy is, " if you know a better way, then show me." every day is a school day. Also, Thank you for the time you spend making your videos. I'm loving every one so far. 👍🏼💪🏼
Never have seen your channel before but you're one cool guy...especially since you like Fenix flashlights, haha. I have 4 of the UC35's...amazing lights that have 5 settings up to 1,000 lumens, strobe, and you can do morse code easily with the tail switch. I've taken notes on several pieces of kit, and thanks for the lesson in understanding Scottish (I'm American -Iowa...we get -40 on occasion...F. or C. makes no difference...brrrr).
Thanks for taking the time to watch the Video. Yeah I’m a massive fan of the fenix flashlights really good value for money and tough as boots. Great you found the channel and if you have any ideas, about videos for the future just shout. Looking forward to getting out this winter and your right once it’s cold it’s cold.
21:05 don’t tell my wife… hilarious if my wife knew half the things I’ve “borrowed “…
Yeah I’m a dead man walking if she ever starts watching my videos 😂. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment, next vid up soon.
Sara from Michigan, USA. Your bag looks amazing. If you had a heavy duty mountain bike would you add extra to what you have?
Hi Sara thanks so much for the time to view and comment. I have a bike with panniers and believe or not I can pack most of this into them, with exception the solar panel. I’d take more food definitely. I have a load of small ten litre pots stashed around the area I live in which can last a night.
Ótimo video! Vejo você carregando muito peso em quinquilharias e menos comida, afinal BOB é para sobrevivência.
Hi there thanks for the view please read some of the comments especially from Steve where the lack of food is addressed.

Just enjoying the ideas.
I'd suggest no matter what. Little bit of bleach, iodine pills, and maybe a nice skillet for cooking and for armor when using Ruck as cover. Always put your harder and heavier stuff to the bottom or away from you back to use as armor.
May add some smokes or other tradable goods,
And Good book or two for the relaxing times. Over all I enjoyed
Thanks for the views and comments. A good book never goes a miss for sure.
From Wales. Brilliant video of a brilliant pack. Thought of everything. Except maybe the fishing/trapping kit, but as you say that's provided for you. Interested to know what your thoughts are on the Don't Die In The Woods tent, blanket and sleeping bag? Are they worth it, given the British weather, or is a thicker kit like your choices better?
Doc from New York!!! Awesome ruck who makes it???
www.amazon.co.uk/Marauder-Support-Bergen-Pockets-description/dp/B078NVWG38. This is the commercial version. Thanks for your time
Awesome
Thanks for taking the time to watch
Thank you very much for the excellent video! Few remarks: as it this it INCH, maybe the chair is unnecessary. Additionally, I saw too many pockets and heavy-duty waterproof bags - all these items add weight and take up space in your bag. Why not use simple plastic zipped bags that are perfectly waterproof as well?
Thanks for the view and comment. Yes perhaps the chair is overkill but I use this pack on a regular basis for long weekends away from home.
The bags are ultra-sil bags and really don’t weight much more than the plastic equivalent, 23 grams for the two litre ones, all the bags in the pack come in at under 1kg,but in my opinion definitely worth having as when it rains it rains
I started the video, stepped away for a min, come back and he got a kitchen sink for his back...
Good shit brother 💪
