Never thought about it in this way. I have basic and essential gear prepacked, mostly from the last trip not taken out of the pack but preparing for different scenarios never came to my mind. Except for the obvious gobag or bugoutbag
Recently I’ve been thinking about exactly same thing. Seeing You using this system is just reassuring me to do so sir 👌💪🏻 Thank You for great work and for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. Much appreciated especially in today’s world we live in. It’s all messed up sadly and won’t get better anytime soon. Stay strong and safe brother 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Could u make a video about what a mature person/couple + optional kids would have to pack, for hiking/survival, list from tactical tools such as axe, knife, medial supplies, and so on? Reallg digging the channel and your swifty explanations. Peace from the Netherlands!❤
Very good system! I have quite a few different MOLLE type small bags and pouches, that I mainly use for this. Some drybags too (my father used to sell them), one big for clothes and several smaller ones for charger and valuables and such. I have two backpacks, one Berghaus Vulcan from the army, and a medium Savotta Jääkäri. The Berghaus can fit pretty much any and every gear I have, the Savotta can take what's mostly necessary. I can basically pour everything from my Savotta + more into the Berghaus, and be ready to go in about a minute if necessary. I also have some 2 different setups of clothes ready the same way. At least in theory... 😂
Hi Alex, I want to thank you for your channel and all the wonderful content. I enjoy your knowledge and mild humor. The film quality is always superb ( like watching a short movie) . I hope in time your channel blows up. I haven’t watched one video that I haven’t learned something from you.
I love the thoughts that went into this video. Thank you! It made me consider many more aspects to packing than just size and weight consideration, but also access and multi-functional purposes. Excellent!
After trying dozens of Backpacks with "organizational" pockets etc - I switched to a similiar system. Few Molle Pouches (eg. Fire Kit, Water Kit etc) and some dry bags as well with coloring / writing,. Combine it with a great front-loader backpack 40-50l and boom: easy to pack and unpack. And of course: easy to pack for different scenarios like hiking, overnight, hunting, bushcraft training day etc
I went through the same Path and leaving the world of backpacks with too many pockets has been the best thing I could do 🤙🏻 thanks for sharing your experience!
@@AlexWander and the best thing to do. Sharing it like you do. So others can save hundreds of dollars not buying the perfect bag bag..and invest those dollars in gear, training and some presents for their loved ones :)..
Nice to see the Urnersee. I've swam the whole length of that one, towing my rucksack/drybag. Thanks for great content as always! (I've seen you on Instagram a lot, but on here is new to me). Greetings from Switzerland.
Wealth of knowledge. Very good and different view points on a lot of different topics. I'm very glad I stumbled into this channel. Definitely be sticking around
Excellent video! As much as I enjoyed it, I would have liked it to last at least 20 minutes. The information was clear, concise, intelligent and useful. keep it up my friend!!
Hi Alex!, loving your channel and content! Dave Canterbury has mentioned / talked about your work, my friend!! I’m really enjoying the content!!👍🏽💯, I have 2 Great Danes that are with me all the time, they also have packs when we go to the woods. Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge!! 👍🏽💯❤️ from Washington state 🇺🇸 looking forward to seeing your episodes!!
Great video Alex and great location for make videos. I'm the Italian that comment under Bug out bag. I like how you are carrying on this kind of videos.👏👏
Alex - excellent suggestions. I use a number of Rigid (brand name) tool boxes for the truck organization. Just add a pack and use stuff sacks to partition and organize.
I have been using the same metho to organize the family bug out bags with several nylon dry sacks about 2 years ago. And I also included a 45 liter nylon dry bag in the adults bags to use as floatation device if the need arises. Obviously we think alike and I believe this method is foolproof. Great video as usual 👍🏻
I've got my edc bag which is also my "get home bag" which goes everywhere with me. Plus a bushcraft bag full of the stuff I take on a day in the woods or a day hike and a hiking bag which is always packed so I can grab it and head for a hike if I fancy it. Then a box with a few odds and ends that mite come in useful for shtf or bug out. But my edc bag has space for any extras if a bug out is ever needed.
I recently leave THE survivalist systems: EDC, BOB, BIB, etc. I chose to have first what I wear, second a ready steady trekking and travel bag, third special ads in drybags: frozen winter/mountaining ad bag, city or country tools ad bags, heavy rain ad bag, minuteman camo ad bag, etc. If needed (if it smells SHFT) I carry all my trekking backpack with additionals drybags with an heavy duty backpack frame Thanks for your channel.
What do think about spraying a nylon “dry sack” with a heavier waterproofing coating? I have one heavy duty Seal Line dry bag but it’s bigger than my preferred size packs, has no shoulder straps, and is heavy(until I upgrade I’m stuck with 3 nylon “dry bags” and a few nylon stuff sacks for gear organizers). You’ve mentioned using heavy duty trash bags or drum liners as a cheap/lightweight alternative or even backup on top of having quality dry bags but that reduces how fast you can access specific gear in a clamshell or most other types of small-medium sized day or get home packs so you’ve sold me on the idea of having especially moisture sensitive gear stored in dry bags but the organization is a really big deal if your gear is limited enough that you would need to switch gear between bags depending on the situation. I keep task/expectation specific gear in different packs but my edc/get home bag has all the basics plus that may need to be swapped to one of the other bags to make them a complete setup if needed. My best example is my hunting pack, outside of backup fire starting and navigation gear everything else is hunt specific till I add my basic/every pack gear
I honestly never found a reliable waterproofing coating, do you have any suggestion? I would personally use drum liners just for emergencies or for building up emergency shelters or matresses ect ect but yes it can also be used as an emergency sack.Thanks for sharing your ideas and thoughts it means a lot!
@@AlexWander I have no experience with the spray on coatings, just wishful thinking I guess lol that I might be able make a lighter weight pouch waterproof-ish. I do carry a poncho that can be wrapped around a pack to be used as a floatation device in a pinch but I wouldn’t trust it for a longer swim and setting that up would take longer than I’d like in the situations that I’d consider using it. Thanks for your input, without some research and testing I’ll write the spray on stuff off my list!
I have a bag for short day hikes, one for a summer weekend trip. And another for winter weekend trips. All three are packed and ready to go. I seem to collect to much gear over the years
Since I'm doing airsoft, hiking and outdoors and some things are different for each or require preparation/care depending on the action, I have a packing checklist and also 1-week before/after checklists (eg. Charge batteries, prep magazines, print maps etc. Prior / clean rifle, discharge batteries, restock on stuff, reapply coating etc. After events). This way, it's a great no-brainer routine for both me and my team and the only things I ever forget are those NOT on the list 😁 also, everything has it's designated place in my storage area (+ one in my home, if I ever need to use it on regular basis) so that I don't ever have to search for it. Organisation and simplification goes a long way.
Alex, great vid. I like the idea of compartmentalization, but I find that I want to either bring gear “just in case” or the individual gear I need is in a different bag of gear that I don’t need to bring. So I end up with duplicate items across several bags. Could you do a video on the break down contents of each bag? I am interested how you handle this issue.
Thanks man! I can understand your point ! Since the core gear remains the same because they need to cover always the same important categories , cutting, cordage, combustion, cover , container but the type of piece of gear we choose for the specific activity/ environment is definitely different for instance we can Bring a wood stove or just a ferro rod , a lighter and and a magnifying lense if we go to the forest but in the same category we are gonna bring a gas stove if we go up to the mountains , it’s just an examples . I will Make a video on each specific dry sack 🤙🏻
Its true that the basic kit doesnt vary a whole lot other than clothing or sleeping bag capability. Even so ive learned my lesson several times thru the years being caught in snowstorms and freezing temps in western Montana and central Idaho during the last week of June and also in middle of July. It happens and if your not prepared its a cold miserable existence and a big fire is in order.
I totally agree with you, that's why i want to spend more time in analyzing weather and terrains before going out and of course some extra for emergency is definitely a must! thanks for sharing !
Доброго времени суток!Спасибо! Как говорится,как в воду глядите))) Только сегодня пошли на пляж в ПВД и я знал что будет дождь,долгий,но что то пошло не так и даже сухие мешки стали мокрыми,потому что тент лежал на дне рюкзака ))) Но ничего,учиться никогда не поздно)))
Hey Alex, since your bug out bag video, I have embarked into an endless research about bug out bags. I wanted to ask sth about the Companion 30. To me it has 2 cons, it does not have side pockets for water bottles and it doesn't have a side zipper that will give access to main compartment so one won't have to take all top items out the bag to access bottom items. I think that the 5.11 covrt 18 32lt covers that. I would like your opinion on these matters if it's not too much. Thnx!
Despite pros and cons I choose the Tat Companion 30 because it all doesn’t have any features on the outside, it’s a pack where no one will never know what You carry, doing so I sacrificed the commodity to have a bottle ready to drink or an external side zipper to access on my gear inside. Hope you understand. 🤙🏻
@@AlexWander yeah OK. So with the TT Companion u use a bladder to hydrate instantly plus your grayl which I suppose u keep also inside? Or no bladder at all? Thanks!
ho creato dei pacchetti con dei sacchetti gomma interna e cordura esterna. Pacchi addizionali ad una normale giornata nei boschi. L' unico suggerimento è che in questi pacchetti per esperienza uso i sacchettini di silicio così da contenere la possibile umidità.
Do you have your own way to streamline your packing routine in order to save time ?
