    super helpful, I am a 5 foot 65 kg woman and its important for me to put together a get home bag that won't break m back on a long journey, its nice to see what a pack looks like for someone that has really put effort into minimizing weight and bringing just the essentials

    Great video! That hydration pack(HP) is the tactical variant of the Camelbak Ambush (HP). It’s a great (HP) that I have used in the military for years. I added four 1” male/female Bartact PALS/MOLLE dual snap bar field repair side release buckles to the top and bottom side loops and attach the (HP) to my Camelbak HAWG (tactical). I leave the larger pack which has my admin stuff, civilian clothes, lunch, etc.., in my locker and quickly detach the (HP) for work outside. My (HP) is loaded out very similarly to yours when I’m hiking, with some exceptions. I clipped a pair of fire resistant Mechanix Tempest gloves to the outside. I keep a .475 oz pen pump of Repel insect repellent from Walmart. I also keep a packable hooded rain jacket underneath the flap. Finally, I keep a small pack of biodegradable wipes for taking care of business in the woods. I only have one complaint; I wish that Camelbak had put two or three rows of MOLLE to the left of the flap for something like a tourniquet or small fixed blade knife.

    • @robertsbushcraft
      @robertsbushcraft  ปีที่แล้ว

      Sound load out and I agree with needing the MOLLE at the flap. To carry a little more and not go the FILBE assault pack route I use this: th-cam.com/video/5RJPNMMLFgU/w-d-xo.html

    Great loadout the only thing i would add is a tiny bottle of superglue or a patch because if that reservoar fails when you need it the most its going to be really bad.. Last year i had my camelbak fail halfway on a hike it was really annoying but i managed to fix it with a bit of patching type of tape meant for inflatable toys. I planned on that part so the patch saved the day!

    Great bag! I did something similar in a Cammel back pack. I go more towards shelter and especially bug protect here in New England for the summer. I got allot of ultra light weight gear. And I pack things much smaller so I can fit allot more. I use a small rip stop nylon water proof waist pack for EDC so that hold all my smaller essentials. Phone, slim 10,000 power bank with cords and plug in the unit, full mini medical, fire making stuff, decent ferro rod, Live Fire, Bics, etc... decent small compass and mini field note book, bullet pen, mini sharpie... There is so much you can buy or make smaller for a true 3+ day travel and choose multi purpse items. Like the Dawn dish soap, a little goes a long way. I fill up Visine bottles. Instead of a cup I bring a Hydropack flask. Instead of Gator Aid I bring electrolyte drops and herbal tea if i want flavor. I have the Be Free Water filter and the wider mouth and Silicone bag is much easier to use. The filter easy to clean. I tie a blaze orange bandanna on my pack so hunters get a heads up.
    I can fit a sil nylon poncho shelter , a proper decent ground sheet and bug net to make a tiny tent, and I pack a Hummingbird Bird Hammock to keep me off the ground when i can and still use the poncho/tarp as a fly and the net.

  • @elisebrown5157
    @elisebrown5157 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I would add a yard or so of heavy duty aluminum foil, folded up. You can unfold it and make a cup, bowl, or whatever and heat things over a fire. Boiling water can be a backup for if your filter fails, you can make your tea, and you can heat up your MRE. I think I'd pack a freeze dried backpacker meal over the MRE, however, just to save weight. The only downside is that you couldn't eat it without making a fire and rehydrating it - so if speed is your priority, stick with foods that don't have to be cooked. You might also add some bank line to have more lightweight cordage, and some dental floss wrapped around your chapstick - nothing like having something stuck in your teeth you can't get with your knife. And I would definitely use TP or wysiwipes or even just moistened towelettes/baby wipes over that bandana. It will get funky fast, and having to stop to wash it well will slow you down. And then you lose your water pre-filter. I'd also ditch the gold bond powder in favor of some single use packets of chafing ointment. The ones I have are by salty britches and they take up way less room. A pair of extra socks is a really good idea. The ones you're wearing will get pretty soaked with sweat and whatever else you've stepped in. Having a clean pair gives you the ability to wash the other pair and change them out, sleep in a clean dry pair, and keep your feet healthy and make better time. Keep them in a ziplock baggie to keep them dry. And also keep extra batteries for that headlamp, assuming it takes batteries. (or just store them outside the headlamp until needed.) I'd also recommend upgrading from the water collection bag that came with the sawyer filter to a CNOC bag. You can get one with the same threads that fit the sawyer, and it has a much wider opening, which is easier to fill at a water source.

    The only other stuff I could think to add would be ranger beads & small grid write in rain notebook, a compass, and a whistle. I'm assuming you would have your edc field/utility knife on your person. Oh, and I always add a cheap disposable compact foldable coverall suit, ultra light microfiber towel and set of compact folding footwear in case you need to strip your wet clothes to dry by a fire. The 3 things can fold down into a baggie similar in size to your mylar package. And you won't be naked and don't have to worry about carrying around a whole set of extra clothes and shoes. If it's still cold out, just wear the mylar on top of everything. You should be able to get 2-3 uses out of the disposable suits before they wear out and the towel and footies are reusable (I just used the cheap folding flats)

    I would add one of those mini rechargeable bag resealers. That way you can easily use a bit of the Gatorade and reseal it, a bit of the 3xAnti-B cream and reseal it, mend tears in the mylar or use it to make different configurations if needed. Lots of uses for small piece of equipment that hold a charge forever. Can also mend plastic surfaces together if torn.

    Very different take from what I’m used to seeing for sure, but It’s still super functional and practical being that small. My bag is smaller than most by comparison, but I like the comforts of my woobie and hammock. I also prefer to have some metal container to boil water and cook food, as well as means to make a makeshift fishing pole in case im stuck out longer than what my bag supplies. I also have a couple power banks but am looking to upgrade to a solar one. In the end we all have different needs, but don’t overthink your pack.

    I've got mine around 25lb but that's more of a refugee / living bag. My sleeping system consists of a hammock/built in bug net , tarp, zero degree sleeping bag and liner for more warmth. It keeps me off the ground, dry and away from ticks and other bugs.
    A titanium canteen set, leatherman multitool and small main knife. Small folding solar panel (biolite 10 or 20) and small battery (10,000mah) cell phone,extra 1 t shirt 1 boxers 1 socks.. 1 bar of soap, 1 tube of polysporin, needles and thread, ferro rod and 2 lighters, micro fishing set mainly line and hooks. Titan paracord for my shoe laces and necklace, belt. I carry a couple garbage bags (clear) and for food.. Some trail mix and a pack of freeze dried food, couple granola bars and maybe a life straw..
    That can get me through for a few weeks, or indefinitely if I can restock periodically at small stores and want to travel light and live on the road.
    If I'm traveling and living out of it, I add some light swim trunks so I can get changed into a clean pair and wash my dirty jeans, shirt, socks and boxers in the river.
    It stays between 24 and 30 lbs at its heaviest.

If I’m not hurt I can cover 26 miles in under four hours. The main reason I went with the water setup is I live in the middle of the Sonoran desert and, without water your not making it much longer than three days anyway.

      Exactly my thinking. While I have several other packs and load outs, this is my preferred for summertime use here in NC. A VERY close second is my Eagle Industries Beavertail Assault Pack: th-cam.com/video/5RJPNMMLFgU/w-d-xo.html It's harder to run with that on, but, I do run it in shorter stretches.

    I love the idea of this pack. I picked one up and loaded
    it with some similar gear and my same bladder but I find when I put in a poncho the bag is so compressed there isn’t much room for water. How do you pack it so the bladder can expand? Thanks!

    • @robertsbushcraft
      @robertsbushcraft  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I run it with a minimal amount of water. Water is so abundant around me I can afford to carry less. Another trick is to fill the bladder to your liking, turn it upside down, and bleed the air out of it by biting the valve on the hose. This takes the air out and allows the bladder to lay just a bit flatter than it does with air in it.

    Question: is that a Grand Trunk hammock under your solar power bank at the beginning of the video? Is it part of your GHB/BOB or is it an addition for that particular day?

    I hear about properly maintaining water filter , but I never see how . I'm new and very intimidated of the filters and how long to keep after use . And are they good forever if never opened and used ? I hear they mold , that scares me too

    • @robertsbushcraft
      @robertsbushcraft  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Sawyer filters are really easy to use and maintain. We'll use these for a weekend outing, backflush them when we get home, set them so that they dry during the week, and we're ready for the next adventure. We've never had any trouble with mold. Once I back flush the filter I'll stand it up on the dish drying rack (vertical like a drink bottle). Once or twice a day I will use the plunger to push air through the filter to force any remaining water out of the filter. You'd be surprised how much you'll get out of it after a day or two or drying! Give it a go, I think you'll be surprised at how easy these are to maintain. We'll be using them more and more at our cabin. Check out our cabin build if you'd like: th-cam.com/video/4xSfak35yvk/w-d-xo.html

    Testing that charger, you may already know this but those mini panels can't be obstructed, not sure if comes with a bracket or would a phone belt clip work, unsure how that device is designed but you can find van life video on big solar panels and even the smallest amount of shade or obstruction can wipe everything coming in, if the array is in series it's like old Xmas tree lights if one is out ruins the whole string, some are clustered in parallel and have little arrays, so just take out a few. Criss cross lanyards across middle from both ways cant be good. I like the idea of them but I've heard people taking 4 days to get a full charge back and wonder if this is why, good luck testing

    What is the point of being prepared? Can you guarantee it will not be winter time when something happens? NO YOU CAN'T ! .... Therefore in order to be prepared. ( Properly ).

      What's the point of being prepared? To increase my odds of making it through the current situation. I can guarantee that this is not the setup that I run for the winter, this is summer use only. I am not a "one bag does it all" guy. Spring and summer bags vastly differ from fall and winter, the cooler the weather the more gear, and the warmer weather equals less winter gear. The setup seen in the video is for summer use only. Here in NC our summer heat begins in late April and can easily last well into September and October.

      For me and my situation, it's pretty much the same bag for the summer season. Bugging out, get home, this works either way for me. The idea is to move from your current location to a secure location. The secure location can be your home (get home bag) or your bug out location (bug out bag).
