Bag seams to be really good, and full of features i like. But i prefer different approach. I would start with choosing my gear first - as this will hugely vary person to person, based on skills, needs, environment etc. Then, when i have an idea of the volume, i will choose my backpack to fit it all. Anyway, great vid, thanks for sharing. Regards from Ireland :)
Valid point, I’ve done it both ways, pack and essentials first and the way of leaving pack selection for last. The main stumbling block I found was that after building my gear (flashlight, axe, etc) I found myself selecting a bag that was too large and then I work to fill it lol. Thanks for the comment glad you enjoyed the video
Very nice pack! The 5-Cs originated with Dave Canterbury. Nice kit, no problems. However, having taught backpacking, survival, SAR, back-country trail crew, etc I have learned, and advocate to entry-level folks this: Get your stuff then get your pack. Because all to often folks get a pack only to discover all their stuff won’t fit into the pack ! (external clanking-dangles are a No-No.). But I do like your pack and if it suits your needs then great. Cool? OBTW, my fav pack was a French Foreign Legion Canvas/leather X-frame. Alas, I wore it out.
I figured it was Cantebury. About the choosing the pack first or later, its a tough call because even if you choose the pack after you build the foundation and add the custom stuff, odds are you get a size too large or too small. Personal pref is about 35L for a 3 day bag. But thats only after experience and also bear in mind the pack size differs depending on the season. I'd love to get my hands on that Legion pack, but haven't seen one in a long time.
Good to see u out again! Well said and to the point. The bottle of whiskey watching the world burn would probably be my first choice if I was alone but wouldn’t be able to do that until the family is safe. Take care and looking forward to the next one.👍🍻
Great video again! It’s funny how the color of your bag and the clothes you wear give you away in a urban environment. I just purchased the Vertx commuter sling 2.0 for edc. Great quality and functional abilities! The 72 hour bag is my next purchase. Pricey! But worth the money. The quality is spot on!
Nice kit and pack. I can go full on tactical where I am... that look is EDC around here. Even the kids school packs have molle. Excellent production as always. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!
@@TheSurvivalOutpost no there's two versions of the gamut. I got the smaller one. I want to get the bigger one and use the insert that's made for them.
Thanks for watching, hope you enjoy the video, see ya in the comments, featured gear below: ➡️ FEATURED GEAR: Vertex Gamut: amzn.to/2LJ4A6h Miltec Poncho:amzn.to/2SumnP9 Morakniv Kansbol: amzn.to/2XRI2qe Pathfinder Canteen: amzn.to/2Yc0Z6x Titan SurvivorCord: amzn.to/2SsGrkR Exotac nanoSTRIKER XL: amzn.to/2Mrc2T7
Thanks for the video, nice looking pack. I’m surprised the kit is so minimalist, though. A sleeping bag and mat are essentials in my opinion. Relying on fire for warmth overnight is a risky strategy, it takes extra energy to gather and cut firewood, if there’s enough dry to find, and unless you use very big logs which are a lot of work to cut and carry, a fire needs feeding every half hour or so, all night, which doesn’t make for a good night’s sleep. If you have a hand injury it’s a real struggle to gather all that wood, and a fire draws attention to your camp that you may not want. It takes 10 times more energy to build a shelter and gather firewood than it does to carry a few pounds of gear all day.
This is just the barebones basics. Next video will cover the sleep system, water filtration and all those items you still need for your 72hr pack. Glad you enjoyed the video
I enjoyed the vid and the bag that u selected, but i belive that there will be 2 types of persons in a SHTF scenario. Those who are preparred and those who are not prepared. So IMO, Despite the bag that someone will select. I believe that one prepper will be able to recognize another prepper. Its just like spotting the off duty security oficers at ur local Wal-Mart. They give themselves away. 1. There atire: baseball cap, t shirt, shorts, Sneaks/loafers that were not purchased at WM. 2. There carecter: quite, always alone very observant 3. There behavior: they are in Wal-Mart, they wonder around the store with an empty cart? But they never buy a thing. Good vid and enjoyed the 5 Cs. I do believe you are correct Dave Canterbury posted the 5 Cs in an online article on June 26, 2018. Im certain the 5 Cs go back further. Thx for the vid and for sharing it.👍
I would buy what you need and then get a bag. I bought a bag first and it was a big bag so being a noobie i thought i had to fill it and it was too heavy. Get the essentials and decide what size pack works for you and your needs.
It's a toss up for me, I've bought the gear first and then needed a monstrous bag to fit all the crap. Then found out the bag was too heavy so I eliminated a bunch of gear and had to buy another pack lol. My general rule is to look for a bag between 30-40L. Of course this one is a bit smaller because it's a summer 72hr pack. Thakns for the comment
Great video! Im scoping out the overlander for a truck (jeep) bag. A few thoughts..... The pathfinder school teaches the 10 C's... compass (suunto) , cargo tape (gorilla) , canvas needle (#14 or 10), cotton cloth (shamagh and or bandana) , candling (headlamp) added to the first 5. Second check out the new Condor Terrasaur ($50) full tang knife they put out to compete with ther Mora Garberg ($89). Keeping it lite and tight is the way to be. Keep the great videos coming!
Nice, great points, yup those extra 5 items are also vital. I'll be covering those additions in the next video where we talk about the custom additions. Had not heard about the new Condor, thanks for the tip!
I was always told you never pick the pack first you always get the pack last so you make sure it's big enough to fit everything and as far as the pack fitting in with Urban Ore wilderness and whether it attracts attention it's kind of a joke because in the right situation that pack is going to be a target for people that don't have anything no matter if it's bright pink or if it's camouflage
I've done it both ways, pack first or pack last. When I choose the pack last I would find I'd either have too much space and then felt like I needed to add in unnecessary gear or purchase another pack. I like packing the 5 C's first with the pack, then I know exactly how much room I have left over. I think its reasonable to assume that for 3 days you won't be choosing a tiny pack...but thats my personal pref. Also yes I can agree that quite possibly anyone with a pack on can be target not matter design or style of pack. I've gone both ways on this before as well.
Nice vid. But for me back to front. Kit first, in a garbage bag. Take that shopping try it in store see how it rides with your gear. Throw 4 nalgenes or ex army bottles full in as well. Food water weight. See if pack DOES hold all your gear, leaves room for a fleece or 2, sox, a sleeping bag hang point etc. Buying a bag first, thats the way to end up with 2 or 3 packs. Also consider the ALICE pack, to demonstrate ventilation from an external frame if you are in a hot climate. Plenty of brands Osprey, Berghaus etc have civvie packs of good denier strength with a off your back suspension system. Pricey, but you can either get the right pack, or be very very dehydrated. Personally what works for me is a bit of civie kit, and military. Osprey pack Atmos 65. Nice non offensive civie looking pack. Strong can easy hold 20kg and not fall apart if you want to go heavy. Which I dont. I get some higher end civie hiking stuff thats lighter than military gear. Im in Australia. Damn hot most of year. Hydration is key. My old ALICE harness from the army. Yoke belt and 4 waterbottles it blends with pack many dont notice it, alloy and stainles cups canteen to cook in boil water etc. Rides on your hips the weight isnt even noticable. Plenty of those types of harnesses and bottles about, or you can get nalgene kidney spaped bottles to fit them. And ffs SOCKS. On a 1 day hike even I take sox. Change them midday thru the day, youll feel refreshed walk further easier under load
I've worked it both ways, buying the bag first, buying the pack last. In the latter step, I ended up with a pack that was too large and had to make a decision to scale down the gear or buy a new pack. Either way when your a newb, its going to be some trial and error involved. I'll check out that Osprey pack. Also, you located in Australia got me wondering how accessible water sources are? When I think of Australia I don't think of a country with lots of water?
It does seem like that the flecktarn camo works in most areas, except for areas like the desert, arctic, urban or most winter areas that get more than 5.5ft of snow per year at any elevation. Otherwise the flecktarn pattern can work very well. Of course there’s the possibility of people making flecktarn camo for each of the areas I’ve mentioned. Which I personally have never seen, but if you’ve seen them let me know!
A BIG HELLO FROM THE UK...THANK YOU FOR THE HEADS UP APPRECIATED GREATLY YOUR VIDEOS ARE VERY INFORMATIVE AND ALWAYS LEARNING NEW INFORMATION KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK HOPE YOU & YOUR FAMILY HAVE A BLESS DAY ATB....DEAN 👍👍
Not a bad bag. I really only use 550 for my quick set up ridge line, I still carry a few feet. 38 bank line is my go too coredege. I had a hard time parting ways with my 550,in the end it just made more sense for me.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Its more compact more easy to work with. It has above 100 lbs break strength .I use bradied not twisted. I was hesitant to ditch my 550, in the end I see the use above 550. A one pound roll will take up less space and provide more utility than a 100 foot of 550. That's my opinion and experience as to date. Try it out it's really good. Corporals corner(he has some really good videos on uesing bank line)solidified my thoughts on bank line along with Dave from outfitters.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Any time,I found a lot of people tend to accept bank line over 550. I got my SAR team to include it thire basic kit. I am trying to get NASAR to include it to thier pack list. Is it the end all be all,no but it definitely is a good resource to have. Thanks for responding.
I thought you said fuck it and decided to INCH out lol, glad to see you back. Is the Kansbol your new knife? I know you were thinking about the Tops Bob. I have been struggling with my next primary fixed blade choice. Got it narrowed down to 4, the Tops Silent Hero and Operator 7, or ESEE 5 or 6. ESEE is kinda beat to death, but they are great knives. I tend to like the Tops knives because they have a unique flare to them. Can't afford a Bark River lol.
Lol sometimes I feel like it. I couldn’t justify spending a ton on a blade and knew a good sheath would run me $70+. Never had a Mora before so figured I’d try it. Based on your top picks, I’d go with the Tops. A bit more “rare” with lots of options for sheaths, check out Etsy first.
the swiss gear bags are pretty tough for a book bag, ive been using mine for college for about 2yrs or so, also a work and weekend trip bag. Damn thing till looks like new, granted i dont do much camping with it, as i am a car camper lol.
I like that pack a lot vertx dose it right . The gammet is done right . I really want one but I need to get rid of stuff first . I look like a surplus and out door store . Lol
IMO, the Kelty Redwing 32 is more versatile and expandable at a much better price. It has been my EDC for 5 years and been to the ends of the very wild world.
I like the Baeofeng radios I have, but one can't recharge em in the field, eh I guess there's the AA battery adapter for some models that'd work and could recharge those, but then your carrying a recharging system too, but even my 2800 mah battery bank won't give me the 10 volts needed to charge just the radio, anyway that has always bugged me, so i guess Id jsut get the AA adapter and carry a redundancy of batteries. and recharge too when i am near an AC outlet, just thinking out loud,
I found a USB recharger for it but haven’t bought it yet. Seems AA or 9V would be your best option and carry extra batteries. I’m definitely not an expert in comms but based on my use the radio holds a great charge. Used it for hours non stop on the ground and between vehicles.
The Survival Outpost oh ya the battery life is great, until ya start transmitting, obviously. But ya know ya just gotta keep qso’s or (conversations) to a minimum. Hey great channel man, I’ve been subscribed for some time, I just can’t figure TH-cam I have the bell clicked but don’t always get notification of new vids,, oh well. Keep up the good work and thanks
Thanks glad you like the channel. I feel like there is a bug with notifications, I NEVER get updates for most channels I have activated with the bell icon.
Everybody is jumping on the vertx bandwagon! It’s a nice pack but not having compression straps is a big negative for me and the width is also a issue. I like slim fitted packs that are tight to your body. For me the size is to much for a get home situation and not big enough for “I’m leaving home”. Vertx is a great company but the Recce Ruck by Blackscout is still hands down the best pack out especially for a 72hr period. One pack to do it all and able to run different systems for whatever the circumstances. Great review though and I do like the color for a gray man look.👍🍻
It's truly a matter of personal perf, I've seen that Recce Ruck, also a great pack. Would like to pick it up in the future...sometime after I run this one into the dirt.
I hear u! I turn my recce into a 72hr get home setup. Something I would take with me if we were out of town. I actually did a video on it just the other week while I was going though my kits. Nothing on u guys level but thought maybe it could help somebody out. Luv your channel and honest reviews/insight. Take care
Yes yoYou’re right it’s not 💯 full tang but not rat tail either. Didn’t get a chance to mention that detail. At first I was a little hesitant to pull the trigger but was convinced by this blog post: anthonyawaken.com/mora-kansbol-review/u are correct
Nice video! I don´t Think the Mora Kansbol has a full tang, it´s a great knife but if you want a fullt tang you should probably look at the Mora Garberg :)
@@TheSurvivalOutpost It´s a great idea, have one myself and can´t really descide if I like that one or the terävä jääkäripuukko more, both are great :)
Hallo my friend.Great video as always.I only have one guestion.I want to buy the pathfinder cooking set.I found it on amazon.l but they dont send it to Greece.Is there another site on the internet wich i can buy this item?
You’re right it’s not 💯 full tang but not rat tail either. Didn’t get a chance to mention that detail. At first I was a little hesitant to pull the trigger but was convinced by this blog post: anthonyawaken.com/mora-kansbol-review/
you're rockin' that Jarhead, Jarhead. the Gamut is a nice pack but, a little too pricey for my budget. before it was the 5C's(10C's) there were the 10 Essential Items in 1974. great info, Leatherneck. Semper Fi.-Scout
I would not use the gamut. The water bottle pockets are limited to smaller bottles. The internal zipper pockets limit the internal volume if over stuffed. I use mine as a EDC pack. I would use the gamut overland as a bug out bag. I switched from the gamut to the EDC ready pack as my get home bag.
Never seen the overland. The Gamut works for me as a summer BOB, for winter I might have to go with something a bit larger. But for my summer kit which weighs < 30lbs the Gamut works. I'll check out the overland and will def look at the store if I'm in that area.
Nice usful video. But, if you want a full Tang knife why do you have a Mora Kansbol please? Its not full tang. Its not even a rat tail. Its partial tang. I know this because my mate Thomas is one of the Directors of Mora. Dont get me wrong, one of the best knives in the world for the price, ive used mine all over scandanavia, Europe, North africa with zero drama. But, thought i should give you the heads up. Once again, nice video. In fact im getting my daughter who live your side if the pond look at getting me one of those great packs.
@@TheSurvivalOutpost for sure, its best value Mora there is. Not much more then the Companion HD, cheaper them the Bushcraft Black, 80% the strength of the Garburg at less then half the price. Its just to much win. I tell everyone to buy one. Nice channel BTW, subscribing was easy decision :-)
Glad to have you as new subscriber. And yep the price and reviews really made me choose it over the Garburg. I knew I wanted to get a custom leather sheath which ran me $75.
I feel like whenever anybody is doing Pack reviews of any kind that they should be wearing complete grey man clothing, so that anyone is watching can focus on the pack & gear itself
@Bill Randall Most societies alienate subgroups in times of resource deprivation. It is how they bend without shattering into full on anarchy. If you happen to be in an alienable subgroup, you will be bugging out before the majority of people. Modern society is interesting in that it is likely to shatter like tempered safety glass down to the nuclear family rather than flake off demographics as a safety valve.
@Glenn Livingston That's a good question and it is examined well in allegory with all of the zombie shows. Unfortunately, this is one of those issues that has to be resolved in law of large numbers. Get away from the masses until they largely fight each other and/or starve to the point of harmlessness. What that means is something you should do your own calculus on.
I'm sorry but this is just to heavy with way to many pockets just a lot of additional weight. I agree with low profile and strong but not overly strong . Take India's from ultralight backpacking gear
@@TheSurvivalOutpost me and my best friend (wife) came up with that plan a few years ago during a conversation with someone who is a fervent TEOTWAWKI fanboi and we decided that if the world ever got as bad as he fantasized about the best thing to do was exactly what I first commented. In reality, with most realistic scenarios, between the two of us we can do pretty good with our skill sets.
He fudged his resume on the Dual Survival show... I think he has more than paid for that given the fact that he lost his job on the show. Also the free information he provides on his channel and Facebook group is invaluable. But I can understand the issue with him lieing on his resume.
You forgot its 5Cs and Q in every survival kit. Gotta have a quart of whiskey. Lol Great video as always! Looking at the Gamut 2.0 for my birthday coming up. Wife is gonna get it for me. Lol
Absolutely, a proper whiskey is a must. I'll go with Jack Daniels. Glad you like the video, and the pack will be a great present. Invest in velcro compatible pouches, great upgrade

Just got my mora knife from corporals corner with ss water container. Looking forward to trying it out starting tonight.
Nice!
Corporal has great info. He has solid advice.
I thought you said fuck it and decided to INCH out lol, glad to see you back. Is the Kansbol your new knife? I know you were thinking about the Tops Bob. I have been struggling with my next primary fixed blade choice. Got it narrowed down to 4, the Tops Silent Hero and Operator 7, or ESEE 5 or 6. ESEE is kinda beat to death, but they are great knives. I tend to like the Tops knives because they have a unique flare to them. Can't afford a Bark River lol.
Lol sometimes I feel like it. I couldn’t justify spending a ton on a blade and knew a good sheath would run me $70+. Never had a Mora before so figured I’d try it. Based on your top picks, I’d go with the Tops. A bit more “rare” with lots of options for sheaths, check out Etsy first.
Great video! I like the pack a lot. Thanks for the suggestions.
Thanks glad you liked it!
the swiss gear bags are pretty tough for a book bag, ive been using mine for college for about 2yrs or so, also a work and weekend trip bag. Damn thing till looks like new, granted i dont do much camping with it, as i am a car camper lol.
Those bags are solid indeed, a friend has one that he has used for many years still looks brand new and he drags that bag everywhere
I think a bag of any sort would attract attention from wrong people but you need one to carry your stuff the gear you have is great
yup you're not wrong...any bag will draw attention...so smaller the better.
what a great intro.. and information!
Glad you liked it!
Nice one Blitz..good solid bits of kit there..atb Mitch 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧..
Thanks Mitch
Before you play with fire ... set it up right ... clean the area of the planed fireplace before you set it up....
i might clear more space if it was the dry season...its been raining nearly non stop for two weeks. No safety issue in the least
Nice comprehensive list. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Simus
That "hidden compartment" under the molle webbing is actually the stow away compartment for that outside panel..
That’s how it should work, but the Velcro strip at the bottom gets in the way
Great vid))
Btw, what sheath was on your belt? Have a link? Would like one for my garberg. Thanks!
Sorry for the response delay, here's the link: www.etsy.com/shop/LeonardLeatherWorks
@@TheSurvivalOutpost thank you!
I like that pack a lot vertx dose it right . The gammet is done right . I really want one but I need to get rid of stuff first . I look like a surplus and out door store . Lol
Same here, I just had to make some space. Do a giveaway
IMO, the Kelty Redwing 32 is more versatile and expandable at a much better price. It has been my EDC for 5 years and been to the ends of the very wild world.
I’ve had my eyes on the Redwing for a while. Don’t spec ops guys use Kelty?
Good advice
Thanks for sharing
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I like the Baeofeng radios I have, but one can't recharge em in the field, eh I guess there's the AA battery adapter for some models that'd work and could recharge those, but then your carrying a recharging system too, but even my 2800 mah battery bank won't give me the 10 volts needed to charge just the radio, anyway that has always bugged me, so i guess Id jsut get the AA adapter and carry a redundancy of batteries. and recharge too when i am near an AC outlet, just thinking out loud,
I found a USB recharger for it but haven’t bought it yet. Seems AA or 9V would be your best option and carry extra batteries. I’m definitely not an expert in comms but based on my use the radio holds a great charge. Used it for hours non stop on the ground and between vehicles.
The Survival Outpost oh ya the battery life is great, until ya start transmitting, obviously. But ya know ya just gotta keep qso’s or (conversations) to a minimum. Hey great channel man, I’ve been subscribed for some time, I just can’t figure TH-cam I have the bell clicked but don’t always get notification of new vids,, oh well. Keep up the good work and thanks
Thanks glad you like the channel. I feel like there is a bug with notifications, I NEVER get updates for most channels I have activated with the bell icon.
Everybody is jumping on the vertx bandwagon! It’s a nice pack but not having compression straps is a big negative for me and the width is also a issue. I like slim fitted packs that are tight to your body. For me the size is to much for a get home situation and not big enough for “I’m leaving home”. Vertx is a great company but the Recce Ruck by Blackscout is still hands down the best pack out especially for a 72hr period. One pack to do it all and able to run different systems for whatever the circumstances. Great review though and I do like the color for a gray man look.👍🍻
It's truly a matter of personal perf, I've seen that Recce Ruck, also a great pack. Would like to pick it up in the future...sometime after I run this one into the dirt.
I hear u! I turn my recce into a 72hr get home setup. Something I would take with me if we were out of town. I actually did a video on it just the other week while I was going though my kits. Nothing on u guys level but thought maybe it could help somebody out. Luv your channel and honest reviews/insight. Take care
@@hellsbellspreparedness2722 Great idea, I'll check out that video when I get home. Thanks for the heads up!
Good vid my wife & enjoy watching your channe,l keep up the great work, all the way from Australia
Thanks for the love from Australia, what region do you live in?

The kansbol is not full tang!
Yes yoYou’re right it’s not 💯 full tang but not rat tail either. Didn’t get a chance to mention that detail. At first I was a little hesitant to pull the trigger but was convinced by this blog post: anthonyawaken.com/mora-kansbol-review/u are correct
Good stuff as always
Thanks skinny
Nice video! I don´t Think the Mora Kansbol has a full tang, it´s a great knife but if you want a fullt tang you should probably look at the Mora Garberg :)
indeed it is not full tang, forgot to fix that error in post production. But still an awesome blade. Will probably get a Garberg in the future
@@TheSurvivalOutpost It´s a great idea, have one myself and can´t really descide if I like that one or the terävä jääkäripuukko more, both are great :)
Great video!
Thanks J!
My backpacking base weight most likely is not more than 3 lbs more than that pack
Great show. Love your channel and way of thinking.you should have more subs
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. About to break 20k, so subs are getting there :) Slowly but surely, gotta bust my ass to make it happen
Where can you get a sheath like yours for the Mora?
check out LeonardLeatherWorks on Etsy.
That kinfe is only partial tang not full tang it's a really good kinfe though
Yes it is...I was lazy and failed to reshoot that part of the video.
@@TheSurvivalOutposthaha I like your honesty 👍
Nice lighter on the paracord spool.
you do realize that the mora is not full tang right? the Garberg is full tang but, the kansbol is not. Most mora knives are a rat tang.
Yes but I had already cut the video by the time I got that fact nailed down lol
Hallo my friend.Great video as always.I only have one guestion.I want to buy the pathfinder cooking set.I found it on amazon.l but they dont send it to Greece.Is there another site on the internet wich i can buy this item?
Check out their main website: www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com/
Great Information, Cheers!
I’ve been eyeing the 5.11 covrt 25 it’s pretty non discrip
I use a small rover sling bag
Edit
I also carry a tiny duffel bag for food

My research tells me the Kansbol is a 3/4 tang not a full tang but maybe I mis heard you.
You’re right it’s not 💯 full tang but not rat tail either. Didn’t get a chance to mention that detail. At first I was a little hesitant to pull the trigger but was convinced by this blog post: anthonyawaken.com/mora-kansbol-review/
Lol I have a jansport bag from when I use to work at sport chalet it’s about 6 feet tall and wide it’s epic
The Beast!
Yeah I will put together a video on it
I didn't think I needed another pack but maybe I was wrong 😆
"need" :D
Pack link?

Never really thought about lube. It’s going on my bag 🤘🤘
Your welcome :D
bro you have the best videos, best knowledge, and your not full of shit
Thanks appreciate that!
you're rockin' that Jarhead, Jarhead. the Gamut is a nice pack but, a little too pricey for my budget. before it was the 5C's(10C's) there were the 10 Essential Items in 1974. great info, Leatherneck. Semper Fi.-Scout
Ah going wayyy back in the day, before I was even alive lol. Maybe Dave got the 5 Cs from the 10 Essentials?
Any pack will draw attention
Very true
Good
Thanks
I would not use the gamut. The water bottle pockets are limited to smaller bottles. The internal zipper pockets limit the internal volume if over stuffed. I use mine as a EDC pack. I would use the gamut overland as a bug out bag. I switched from the gamut to the EDC ready pack as my get home bag.
I used to work with Dave’s brother James. If you are ever in Indianapolis stop by their store. It is worth the visit.
Never seen the overland. The Gamut works for me as a summer BOB, for winter I might have to go with something a bit larger. But for my summer kit which weighs < 30lbs the Gamut works. I'll check out the overland and will def look at the store if I'm in that area.
The Survival Outpost the Overland is new from Vertx. Looks like a great bag.
The Survival Outpost great video BTW.
Nice usful video. But, if you want a full Tang knife why do you have a Mora Kansbol please? Its not full tang. Its not even a rat tail. Its partial tang. I know this because my mate Thomas is one of the Directors of Mora. Dont get me wrong, one of the best knives in the world for the price, ive used mine all over scandanavia, Europe, North africa with zero drama. But, thought i should give you the heads up. Once again, nice video. In fact im getting my daughter who live your side if the pond look at getting me one of those great packs.
Found out that detail AFTER cutting this footage. Even though it’s not full tang it’s a beast in the field, absolutely love it and
@@TheSurvivalOutpost for sure, its best value Mora there is. Not much more then the Companion HD, cheaper them the Bushcraft Black, 80% the strength of the Garburg at less then half the price. Its just to much win. I tell everyone to buy one. Nice channel BTW, subscribing was easy decision :-)
Glad to have you as new subscriber. And yep the price and reviews really made me choose it over the Garburg. I knew I wanted to get a custom leather sheath which ran me $75.
I feel like whenever anybody is doing Pack reviews of any kind that they should be wearing complete grey man clothing, so that anyone is watching can focus on the pack & gear itself

That's a big one, a category that lots of people don't cover.
If you are in a bug-out situation isn't everybody around you?
Not necessarily.
@Bill Randall Most societies alienate subgroups in times of resource deprivation. It is how they bend without shattering into full on anarchy. If you happen to be in an alienable subgroup, you will be bugging out before the majority of people. Modern society is interesting in that it is likely to shatter like tempered safety glass down to the nuclear family rather than flake off demographics as a safety valve.
@Glenn Livingston That's a good question and it is examined well in allegory with all of the zombie shows. Unfortunately, this is one of those issues that has to be resolved in law of large numbers. Get away from the masses until they largely fight each other and/or starve to the point of harmlessness. What that means is something you should do your own calculus on.

Great video
But the pack looked like a turtle shell, sorry but it did
This is true LOL
@@TheSurvivalOutpost Turtle shells are awesome. Keeps all my turtles well protected.
I'm sorry but this is just to heavy with way to many pockets just a lot of additional weight. I agree with low profile and strong but not overly strong . Take India's from ultralight backpacking gear
that is not a full tang knife. Look up the Mora Garberg instead
yup not a full tang, rat tang iirc. I failed to redo that audio in post production of the video.
Texas Mickey of rum, couple bricks of .22 LR, appropriate. 22 rifle and laugh as the world burns.
I like how you think!
@@TheSurvivalOutpost me and my best friend (wife) came up with that plan a few years ago during a conversation with someone who is a fervent TEOTWAWKI fanboi and we decided that if the world ever got as bad as he fantasized about the best thing to do was exactly what I first commented.
In reality, with most realistic scenarios, between the two of us we can do pretty good with our skill sets.
great intel, I can no longer support path finder. he has skills but will lie. One who lies cannot be trusted when need, a lair will cut and run
What kinda of issues?
He fudged his resume on the Dual Survival show... I think he has more than paid for that given the fact that he lost his job on the show.
Also the free information he provides on his channel and Facebook group is invaluable.
But I can understand the issue with him lieing on his resume.
George? George Washington? I haven't seen you since High School! How have you been?
I don't like Flecktarn. makes me a bad German, I know. ;-)
Nooooooooooo 🤪
Bottle of lube . check
You forgot its 5Cs and Q in every survival kit. Gotta have a quart of whiskey. Lol
Great video as always! Looking at the Gamut 2.0 for my birthday coming up. Wife is gonna get it for me. Lol
Absolutely, a proper whiskey is a must. I'll go with Jack Daniels. Glad you like the video, and the pack will be a great present. Invest in velcro compatible pouches, great upgrade
