Finally someone who actually brings food into the woods! I love how a lot of bushcrafters never bring any food. They show a full bag and tell you it's what they bring into the woods for one, two or three days and there's never any food. I know you don't technically need food in two or three days, but is it enjoyable?
I too am always out of space blankets the last one was lent out so a fellow walker could sit on the ground without getting a cold wet bum i now keep a spare in my baseball cap i have split the stitching and slid one into the top of the cap it now keeps my head toasty warm. many thanks as ever for an informative vid.
Joe, I'm sure you know this but its not an US knife. It's a U.S. ARMY knife. the original one was made by camillus. Great knife and becoming VERY rare. Hold on tight to that. Got mine when I entered the Army in 1976. its my daily carry knife. EXTREMELY rugged and well built. good video.
Hi Joe, love your vids! I used to carry two plastic Nalgenes but now I carry various bottles depending on time of year, distance etc. I now carry a stainless Nalgene...found it at Real Canadian Superstore $32....half-price compared to any on-line sources. I also carry a 1 litre Platypus which works with the Gravity Works. The steel bottle is great because you can boil and it keeps my water cool. Cheers fella.
just bought a new pack so I'm all excited about kit videos...really like your pack....the side pouch that held your cook set and water was perfect! well thought out and put together sir!
No joke ur an inspiration brotha! Ur supper young and ur level of knowledge is beyond compare. keep inspiring people! Ur hardcore! And dnt ever think otherwise!
Thanks for sharing Joe! It's "funny" how we can get certain skills such as bow and hand drill down, inside and out, under pretty much any circumstance and then decide to move on to developing other skills. Since probably 99.999% of us don't use a skill such as friction fire on even a weekly basis out of sheer necessity, it becomes a perishable skill. Fortunately it's not like starting from our very beginning though ;) when we get back to it. Hand drill is my favorite of friction fire methods and I'm frequently humbled by how fast my arms get spent when I go back to it after a long break.
Cheers Joe, nice to see how other folk are kitting themselves out. gona steal that tag line though " survival ain't fun, playing in the woods is" keep it up. Chris
You can find them at Canadian tire. Coghlan's camping grill. Be careful as the edges are sharp and can catch or tear some gear if shoved quickly in the pack. I used a canvas/burlap bag until I ground and smoothed the edges.
Joe, the grill you're using is very similar to one I have in my bob / car camp pack. I picked mine up on a clearance rack in a sporting store. Coghlans 8770, wish it came with the ouch you use. Mine wore a hole into the tarp in my pack.
I am surprised your first aid kit is so small, but you would know better than anyone else what you really need. I don't go on many day hikes either. This is an interesting video. I am always curious what others carry with them, esp. someone who has been there and done that, which you have. Thanks a bunch!
For the grill I believe I saw one like that at Walmart in their camping section. My dad carried a similar one when I was a boy. I know they are available other locations as well.
Hi Jo. Try wearing your emergency whistle around your neck attached to a lanyard. It’s no good in your possibles pouch inside your pack if you need urgent help in an emergency when your out alone. Stay safe. Love your videos. Keep up the good work. MICK.B. ENGLAND.
Want to let you know Joe that you got me and my brother into the outdoors again. Want to thank you for that. Thinking about starting a channel with him, any suggestions on what camera/cameras we should use? Maybe make a video on that?
+T Mills very cool!, just be yourselves, I use a nikon d5500 dslr, but there are so many different cameras now, even a point and shoot will give you 1080.
+JoeRobinetBushcraft yeah I've been looking into them today. Want a decent one that has pretty good audio quality. Any suggestions on a relatively cheap one?
Great Video Joe, I no longer carry hand warmers in my pack unless they are fresh, some time ago I went to use some hand warmers that were past the expiration date, and theyy no longer were any good, there were about 6 packs like this......
hi Joe, love your channel. I often watch with my 6yr old daughter as she loves your dog. If you could Lily would love to see a video about scout. Take care and thanks fo rd the great vids!
My wife made a firekit for her car out of one of those cans. Personally, I'd rather have a smaller kit to carry on my person, as that kit is intended for situations where I've lost my pack and gear. That's all great equipment you've got together in it, though. If I had that, I'd probably just split it up between a few pockets on the pants. You said you only carry a knife and firesteel on your pants/belt, which is great. But I really like the "First-Line" philosophy of survival preparedness. Just my thoughts. Great video again, Joe!
New to your channel. Love your videos, very insightful. Old Wildfire-Fighter trick on saving batteries. Turn the battery backwards in the flashlight/headlamp until you need it.
Nice load out bro, cant wait until its warmer here in the UK and I can go out with a smaller kit! the DC4 is one of those I brought years ago and have never really used!
Congratulations on 400,000 subscribers I love your videos and spend most the day watching them ! Im planning to do a little camp myself just hoping I can find somewhere decent in the UK lol. (America is where I need to be!!!)
Huge fan of Joe, love his videos, from Mississauga over here but I HAD to laugh when he showed the firesteel on a lanyard considering what happened on Alone, tough break bud, still the best around in my opinion, at least you learned your lesson
Great kit, add wound seal, quick clot and tourniquet. Knives, axes and saws can cause major injuries and a bandaid won't stop an arterial bleed. Why die if u don't have too.
From the Making the Best out of a Bad Situation video. I'm sorry your family got sick, and I hope that they are feeling much better. But I love that it gave you the opportunity to make this video. I love videos like this. It helps me with making sure I don't over pack. Where did you get the Primloft jacket. I have been looking at a Mountain Hardware down Hoody but I don't think it packs down as well as yours.
+JoeRobinetBushcraft Thanks man I went online cause we don't have a MEC in the states. I am now wondering how rain resistant it is. Can it handle Washington State rain or should I look for something a little more resistant
Hand/foot warmers... I found myself snowed in with 8" and had 10 miles left to hike. I had regular hiking shoes which were decent but very inadequate for the amount of snow on the trail. Going through my bag, I found the pairs of hand warmers and foot warmers that I threw in my bag on a whim and forgot about. After stalling for as long as possible, I put both a hand and foot warmer in each shoe, threw on some extra layers of dirty socks, and headed out. I arrived at my destination 5-6 hours later (snow hiking is much slower it turns out...) with soaking wet shoes and socks and toasty warm feet. Won't set foot on the trail in the winter without them ever again.
Joe, good video, good bushcraft bag content ,have to say after all the reviews on thrunite torch on TH-cam of late I got a ti5 torch, great little torch, sits next to my leatherman wave in its pouch, already used it loads, very impressed, surprised you don't have a means of getting extra clean water apart from puri tabs i.e. sawyer filter, I tend to carry one along side a millbank bag (most water sources round my area are full of sediment ) don't way a lot plus use millbank bag for collecting tinder/veggies etc, like these videos, hope your daughter is well, cheers from across the pond, craig
I had one of those US army knives you have in this video, it had Camilus 1990 stamped on the bottom of the knife blade.... didn't use it too much but I opened the blade up one day and the liner lock on the back of the knife that keeps it in place when opened had snapped in the middle and left a small welt/bruise on my hand. After that the blade traveled freely on it's own and was completely unusable cause it went past the 180 degree locking position. It sucks cause it held a razor edge...
I've been through about every bushcraft/camping account on TH-cam and still can't find one that comes close to yours. You seem like wicked cool dude, if you're ever in the NorthEastern US you have to let me know.
Nice kit, well thought out and versatile plus plenty of comfort items. What would you guess the loaded pack weighs on average when you go for a day hike?
"Survival's not fun. Going and playing in the woods is." Indeeeed!

Ultralight even for a standard hiking/camping trip. You're very resourceful and stick to the bare necessities. Nice kit dude.
Thanks for the show Joe!
Every time I see that ruck it makes me want it more! Great video Joe, thanks for sharing.
Nice kit. Nothing to dislike there. Were it me, I'd probably take a poncho liner too, having been caught out overnight a few times....
Joe, I'm sure you know this but its not an US knife. It's a U.S. ARMY knife. the original one was made by camillus. Great knife and becoming VERY rare. Hold on tight to that. Got mine when I entered the Army in 1976. its my daily carry knife. EXTREMELY rugged and well built. good video.

Nice kit :)
What are you doing here? :)
grow up
Survival Lilly LILLLYYYYY, love your vids.
Survival Lilly omg your the best
Hi Lily
Really good video Joe.Can't wait for the next one.
I love how you can actually fit a small axe on that pack. Some of mine are a bit of a challenge to fit in an axe.
You can find them at Canadian tire. Coghlan's camping grill. Be careful as the edges are sharp and can catch or tear some gear if shoved quickly in the pack. I used a canvas/burlap bag until I ground and smoothed the edges.
Joe, the grill you're using is very similar to one I have in my bob / car camp pack. I picked mine up on a clearance rack in a sporting store. Coghlans 8770, wish it came with the ouch you use. Mine wore a hole into the tarp in my pack.
I like the intro music, I like how scout supervises reminds me of rocky he does the same lol. I hope your daughter is well
An insightful load out and am lovin that hidden woodsman pack ~Peace~
I am surprised your first aid kit is so small, but you would know better than anyone else what you really need. I don't go on many day hikes either. This is an interesting video. I am always curious what others carry with them, esp. someone who has been there and done that, which you have. Thanks a bunch!

Great kit joe signal mirror is definitely something I need in my go bag
Hi Jo.
Try wearing your emergency whistle around your neck attached to a lanyard.
It’s no good in your possibles pouch inside your pack if you need urgent help in an emergency when your out alone.
Stay safe.
Love your videos.
Keep up the good work.

I love thru night flash lights
Nice kit joe
Thanks for sharing with us Joe.
Good kit brother. I just did a survival tin can kit and I liked the mirror on the cap. I tapes some matches on mine.
Great video Joe. Lots of good information. Big fan. I will be looking for that grill. Ohh pull up your pants looks sloppy.
I have seen the grill at Canadian Tire, and camping stores.
Great video!
yeah! I like your snow videos the best. I like to see scout in th snow. how's your daughter feeling? better I hope.
+Cory Boyd Thanks, yes she is doing well, thanks man.
good video Joe. Thumbs up everytime; have a good one
+Kevin Trieb thanks, man.
Want to let you know Joe that you got me and my brother into the outdoors again. Want to thank you for that. Thinking about starting a channel with him, any suggestions on what camera/cameras we should use? Maybe make a video on that?
+T Mills very cool!, just be yourselves, I use a nikon d5500 dslr, but there are so many different cameras now, even a point and shoot will give you 1080.
Okay thanks! Do you think an action camera or a camcorder would be better?
I'd go with a gopro over a camcorder personally.
+JoeRobinetBushcraft yeah I've been looking into them today. Want a decent one that has pretty good audio quality. Any suggestions on a relatively cheap one?
I'm trying a low end one out right now, I'm going to post a video soon comparing a couple.
Well thought out kit Joe
nice kit less is more i like it..stay safe.
Enjoyed that look at your kit, thank you.
Cheers
Gorbag
Great kit you've got. Light enough to not be cumbersome. Many pieces of gear that are multipurpose.
GoPro timelapses would be awesome! Cool video Joe.
Great Video Joe, I no longer carry hand warmers in my pack unless they are fresh, some time ago I went to use some hand warmers that were past the expiration date, and theyy no longer were any good, there were about 6 packs like this......
+ben terwellen good to know, thanks!
I've also had that experience--right when I really needed them. Not a fun time to learn this!
hi Joe, love your channel. I often watch with my 6yr old daughter as she loves your dog. If you could Lily would love to see a video about scout. Take care and thanks fo rd the great vids!
+BLBfive I will do that for sure, thanks...Tell Lily Scout says hi:)
+JoeRobinetBushcraft looking forward to it!
My two Black Labs are glued to it.

Nice video Joe, you covered all of the 5 c's in that bag, I especially like the poncho, I can see how that would be very useful. Atb Mark
Good loadout. Thanks for sharing.
love the odds and ends pouch it seems my bag is at times nothing but odds and ends needs organisingmaybe.
Very informative video Joe. Second link doesn't work.Then four in a row of the same link LOL... I love that hot tent and stove.
+Justinn_ DOH! thanks.... :)
New to your channel. Love your videos, very insightful. Old Wildfire-Fighter trick on saving batteries. Turn the battery backwards in the flashlight/headlamp until you need it.
+OneEyed Mike good call.
Hi Joe, could you do a video on the best suitable cloths to wear for the various seasons, from head to foot, Thanks!
another great video, I always find it fascinating to see what other ppl carry. makes me think I carry way too much crap. thanks again. peace out.
Great video as usual Joe, keep up the good work!
Nice load out matey, simple and effective
nice video as always Joe, cool pack and stay safe
Nice kit atb John
6 years later, still nice to watch.
Nice load out bro, cant wait until its warmer here in the UK and I can go out with a smaller kit! the DC4 is one of those I brought years ago and have never really used!
Love the video Joe! Awesome job
Congratulations on 400,000 subscribers I love your videos and spend most the day watching them ! Im planning to do a little camp myself just hoping I can find somewhere decent in the UK lol. (America is where I need to be!!!)
Huge fan of Joe, love his videos, from Mississauga over here but I HAD to laugh when he showed the firesteel on a lanyard considering what happened on Alone, tough break bud, still the best around in my opinion, at least you learned your lesson
I need to get me some of that blue foam goodness. Nice load out Joe, ATB from NEOhio.
Great video ,it was cool getting to see what you carry your pack .
Great kit, add wound seal, quick clot and tourniquet. Knives, axes and saws can cause major injuries and a bandaid won't stop an arterial bleed. Why die if u don't have too.
nice set up man everyrging you need right there
Nice kit with good ideas. I always tend to take tooooo much

+JoeRobinetBushcraft Thanks man I went online cause we don't have a MEC in the states. I am now wondering how rain resistant it is. Can it handle Washington State rain or should I look for something a little more resistant
Wholesale sports has a section of coglens I picked up that grill for 5$!!! Works awesome
awesome kit man. I really like the backpack you use !

Good video Joe. Calling me out there to make some videos. I will see what I can do.
+Burley Outdoors good!
I just did a video on this myself and found after watching yours I need to add a few things
Great informative video. Thanks again Joe.
Joe, good video, good bushcraft bag content ,have to say after all the reviews on thrunite torch on TH-cam of late I got a ti5 torch, great little torch, sits next to my leatherman wave in its pouch, already used it loads, very impressed, surprised you don't have a means of getting extra clean water apart from puri tabs i.e. sawyer filter, I tend to carry one along side a millbank bag (most water sources round my area are full of sediment ) don't way a lot plus use millbank bag for collecting tinder/veggies etc, like these videos, hope your daughter is well, cheers from across the pond, craig
Thanks Joe! Good stuff man.
Look into the bushlore knife it's awesome
You can buy that folding grill on eBay under "Ez portable grill"
"plethora"... love it!
I had one of those US army knives you have in this video, it had Camilus 1990 stamped on the bottom of the knife blade.... didn't use it too much but I opened the blade up one day and the liner lock on the back of the knife that keeps it in place when opened had snapped in the middle and left a small welt/bruise on my hand. After that the blade traveled freely on it's own and was completely unusable cause it went past the 180 degree locking position. It sucks cause it held a razor edge...
Thats a nice kit with some useful items. Thanks for sharing :)

Thanks Joe
Joe....some time back you mentioned a Les Stroud story ......did I miss it ? Was really looking forward to hearing this.... Take Care..
+Upstate Longwalker No, you did not miss it, I'll post it in a few days.
Ah lanyard on a fire steel, what an awesome idea! wink wink, nudge nudge...
Great video Joe, really useful and informative (y)
I like the setup. Its very minimalistic. But i think the Sleeping mat and sleeping bag is missing right?
+Mr.Salpling no, not for a day hike, but you could definitly put them on the bottom
JoeRobinetBushcraft could you make a video about your overnighting setup?
yes.
Hi joe great vid love from england xx
Good kit, I'm surprised you don't have your poncho more available. If it's raining do you have to take everything out of your pack to get your poncho?
Thanks Joe for the vid :)
for a grill go the a hardware store and buy one of the briquettes gills for 8$ or so.
I've been through about every bushcraft/camping account on TH-cam and still can't find one that comes close to yours. You seem like wicked cool dude, if you're ever in the NorthEastern US you have to let me know.
Nice video. I want your Snowtrekker tent. They're so expensive and now our Canadian dollar sucks which doesn't help ;)
+AaronBushcraft got that right!, it is horrible, something near 30cents on the $
I have the same grill, found it at Cabelas for like $8, also see them at Walmart
nice video mate thanks for sharing
Love this kit !
Nice kit, well thought out and versatile plus plenty of comfort items. What would you guess the loaded pack weighs on average when you go for a day hike?
+unislave I'd guess around 13lbs with full water bottle and food for the day
I like your intro!
Hey Joe you deserve more subbs!
Well thought out 🙂
Another good one, thank you
Thanks for sharing!
Thats a nice stove and tent. Seems a little cumbersome and heavy. At what point would you pack something like that around?
I just realized after watching some of your videos which are great but you were on history's show "alone" the first season I think???
great video!
Nice kit. Thanks for sharing!
