Best video on making this pack/roll No extra banter. To the point, clear and concise .
Thanks!
something to put in the memory banks for next zombie apocalypse. I fancy that any Tolkien Elves or Hobbit would favour such elegant techniques
It is such a joy being a student of knots & working with cord, to see how someone handles the stuff with experience.
Once you’ve experienced the miracle of a wool blanket you don’t want to be without an item or two 🐑🐑 life saving, toasty, quiet
This is a must-have skill if you want to be comfortable in the wilderness without carrying 50 pounds of gear. The blanket is your coat, sleeping bag and backpack. Nice trick with the scarves (larger torsos probably require two scarves tied together). The only thing i would NOT do is use 550 cord. After about three hours of hiking, the cord will stretch so much that the pack becomes unstable and uncomfortable. Use some type of non-stretch cordage.
I was a guide at a wilderness program that solely uses blanket pack systems. The cord used to form the ribcage and spine of the pack, so long as you make it tight, won't noticeably stretch. It's a great system 🙂
@prairiefirewildernessskills how did you become a guide at a wilderness program? Seems like something I would like to do…
Awesome vid! I live in an area where the weather changes at the drop of a hat. This saves on actually carrying a backpack because you can turn the poncho/woobie into a backpack when not in use.
But what happens when you need to use the blanket? You drop your stuff?
That was awesome! She’s a really good instructor.
Way cool, so basic and effective and actually looks so comfortable.
Shockingly comfortable
ON 3 just posted a variation of this bag you should go look at. Jason has David Holladay teaching on that channel. He's an excellent teacher.
Yep, totally awesome information. But I would like to point out this young lady with a belt knife and calloused fingers is more elegant and beautiful than any runway model.
Oh absolutely
I think Otzi had the best idea. Not only more sturdy, but light years more user-friendly and easier to get into than this convoluted rope puzzle.
Arizona that’s funny because his was way more complicated
Cool pack set up. Also, she is super adorable.
It’s true
Excellent I’ve been wondering about a good way of doing that.
This is one of the best
great idea, Blanket rolls have been used by armies and trekkers since antiquity, if you carry a small tarp you can make your pack weather resistant. I will be adding some strapping to my gear soon.
It's an amazing skill to have and extremely usefully. Thanks for watching.
That was amazing.
Seems to me a hammock would make great straps😊
That’s a great idea
Perfection! Thnk you 💖✌🏼
Great technique, excellent instruction and presentation. Ms. Rechnitz is the real deal.
Agreed!
it's ok i guess to learn how to do this and play around with it a little. but can't really see it practical. i mean we have modern backpacks to carry our staff.
Until you don't. How about this, you find yourself stranded in a third world country post Tsunami, or you are a POW, or you just want to learn each individual folding technique because they on their own are valuable. One example is the package folding technique. That is amazing for kits and when used in a dry bag rafting. Sometimes the parts are the key and not the whole.
TJack Survival
if i find myself as a pow or a tsunami survivor i won't have to worry about carrying stuff as won't have any.
as i said it before if u want to learn how to do it, have fun with it. but a backpack is still more practical.
Until it's not. :)
TJack Survival
until it's not, what?
Practical.... ;)
Impressive!
Great video
Very nice !
Using a scarf for carry straps is awesome - so much comfort.
For the pack itself I prefer the Yukon-pack, gives you better access to the inside if needed.
With the wool blanket pack you have to tie everything to the outside that you might need while hiking, e.g. water bottle, cup, camp knife etc. or you have to untie the whole pack.
Thanks for watching
Having done the BOSS Desert Navigator course, and used it I disagree, you can take (some) stuff from the top of your pack, without ruining it, like extra food, water bottle etc. And I did share your concern before though :-)
I love seeing a woman with a good knife. It calls out responsibility and capability.
This is so cool
It’s awesomeness huh!
Folks, this is the real deal. Did a BOSS winter course a number of years ago.... everything stuck, very iseful, and used often. Highly recommended. (Other than having taken their course, I have no affiliation with them).
They are good people, who do good things and are possibly the best in the world given how long they have been around and how much doing is done vs talking about doing.
Been hiking Forrest fifty plus years I never bring water it's too heavy I often don't make a fire my clothes are my shelter I forage plants and drink landscape water sometimes make brush shelter only use fire for cooking meat or fish travelled from ga to British Columbia with twelve pounds of gear o still love your. Info
That’s respectable
That is some pretty cool SHTF knowledge there. A quick note. If you want freedom of movement then I suggest pants or shorts, not a skirt.
Her Skirt is a blanket and she had shorts on underneath that.
I really hope that when people see these videos again that they will take the time to go the website and learn more. BOSS has so much to offer at a wide variety prices and class types. I think that it is worth every penny. Thanks again for re-posting these.
Agreed! I'm re posting because my original music was flagged. But as always they are arguably one of the best survival schools in existence. I plan on filming as much as I can with them in the future as well for two reasons. 1, they teach me so much when I visit and 2 they need all the on line exposure they can get. Because they are world class in there element, but that element isn't the Internet.
Great video.
Thanks
OK, now your bed is taken care of, how do you deal with your other hard gear? Water, cooking, knife, axe etc etc.
It gets packed in the blanket.
🙏🏼
I appreciate seeing how you fold it. That clothing is going to weigh less than 4lbs though. I often don't bring a change of clothes (save socks and undies) when hiking or backpacking. Im carrying food, water, water filter, headlamp, and a closed foam sleeping pad at the very least. Can the wool hold up under 15lbs packed into it?
15lbs is no problem for a blanket pack, I've carried 40lbs+ in winter in a blanket pack. At BOSS staff and students live out of their packs for up to a month, and have been doing so since the 60s. It's a solid system, I've been using blanket packs since I saw this video in 2017!
wow great stuff - I started making my paracord backpack and have been tossing up what in blazes to put around arms thank you guys - I really have to get a wool blanket and keep forgetting - invaluable info I am in oz we don't have survival schools here but I share how to start a fire with campers when interested with a fire steel - I am making paracord belts crocheted and water bottle holders very strong may I gift you two with one each i could post parcel via post office near you or whatever lol tks for sharing
You do have aboriginal peoples that could really teach some amazing skills. Thank you for watching!
+TJack Survival yeah I must look for some teachers I found in video of We of the Never Never film from the 1970's in extras old back and white footage of traditional aboriginal family walking and showing where to find bush tucker great antique footage of almost naked adults with their kids awesome info
Annette Sutton That's awesome!
Annette Sutton thanks for watching!
Thnxs
That's why backpack was invented. Great video and very educational.
This can still rival a backpack. Especially for a kid or young person without cash.
Great vid, good idea, seen something like this years back but she did this a lot better, well done indeed
Thanks
She is an absolute pro at this. She did it every day for years in the desert. Have you seen her DVD's? I have them on my other videos on this channel.
👍🏻👍🏻
This is fine for your clothes and blanket. You don't need to get into this until bed time. But where is the rest of your gear? Your container, fire kit, knife, etc. Does all of that dangle from your belt? This is not everything you want to carry.
As someone else mentioned, Otzi had a pretty good pack, with a frame, and several bags/compartments that he could access whenever he needed to get something. And his tools and weapons were ready at hand on a moment's notice.
In a haversack. It’s on the other video
Perfectly executed, clearly demonstrated.
She is a pro for sure.
hey mate, sorry for asking another question. I saw you mention in the comments that the scarf is roughly 6 foot to be able to reach around like the video as a hip belt, do you have any idea what material it was made from? Im assuming it's wool or cotton?
Wool or silk or 2 scarfs tied together.
What type of poncho was that?
US Army standard issue
That’s awesome💯👍 but can I see your hat real quick? 😝
That’s funny!
Man I would of been a mile down the road 😂,,,oh whoops I forgot my hat in there,,hold on,,,,
That pack seems very adaptable to say the least. It occurs to me that you might be able to store a few atlatl darts either tightened on the rope framework or in the middle of the pack and held in place by friction but they might not be too retrievable in an opportunistic hunting scenario, throw sticks might work better for that purpose. It does seem like a way to conveniently carry lots of things at once though. I can't help but notice that there might not be water bottle space depending on how you use what you have.
I think modularity is the key with this. You can do whatever you want with it.
That’s an interesting lesson but how do you fit that into your usual small pack- rucksack?
You don’t. It is the small pack.
@@TJackSurvival Yes I know but you said you preferred a small rucksack in the video.
@@solb101 no I said that’s what I normally use and here’s another option.
@@TJackSurvival That’s what I normally use. Is not that a preference? I wonder how you pack all that stuff into one.
@@solb101 you don’t. What I had in that day bag fulfills the needs of fire water shelter food but wasn’t the exact same equipment as what she put in the blanket pack. The point of the video was to teach the skill sets of the blanket pack so that people can take the tools from it they want and use them how they choose. Be that just to make the package or just to add straps to a strapless bag. It’s about the individual skills used creatively, not about a day bag vs a blanket pack.
What about a canteen, cooking pot, shovel, an axe, camping shovel? Ya got a lot of clothes and fabric and girly stuff in there but there is more in a pack than that.
Don't be that girl. You have part of what you are going to need. Or is your boy friend going to carry that?
She doesn’t need any of that. Because she’s more experienced than you.
nice BUT...a regular pack you open and dip in when you want an item. you will have to unravel this whole thing, maybe in the rain, to find an item. GUESS THATS WHY WE INVENTED THE MODERN PACK, EH?
As I just said in my comment, Otzi had the best idea. This wool blanket bondage shit is pure madness.
There are different ways to roll it and still have access to items from the top.
@@angelus_solus Much of Otzi's gear, clothing, and some of his mummy was damaged or destroyed due to "rough handling" when his body was being retrieved. Archeologists do not know how his pack was constructed. It may have been woven matting used very much like a wool blanket is used here.
Pretty ignorant comment I gotta say. Pretty obvious that people aren't going for ultra convenience with this sort of method, are they? Can think of lots of reasons to know this. Perhaps your main pack has split a seam and all your shit has fallen out. Or perhaps you wear a small fanny pack for your "constant access" items and only put your shelter/sleep gear in the bedroll as you know you won't need it until you make camp.
There are modern alternatives to LOTS of things, but usually when you are going out into he wilderness most people understand that you are going to give up some modern conveniences - how far you take that is up to you. You might go ultra glamping with an air conditioned RV or you might go so basic you don't even bother to bring a pack or sleeping pad. It's a continuum and not everybody is going to choose the same convenience level that you prefer
Absolutely Fabulous! No pack to weigh you down!!
Thank Y'all Very Much!
+James White Thanks for watching James!
Very good
Thanks Guy!
Great video.Thanks a lot !!!!!
Hey, thank you for watching! Please share.
I'm wondering why you didn't roll your blanket in a tarp to keep the blanket dry?
Then you’re wet. Just keep the poncho on top and wear the poncho over you and the blanket pack when you need it
This is pretty cool, but how does this work in conjunction with your other gear? I see no food, cooking items, water, etc.
Just put that stuff in the pack and carry it
@@TJackSurvival You made a video on this as well, didn't you?
@@JoeDeerRunner yes, I made (videoed/edited) this video then made one on my own a few years later
@@TJackSurvival I liked how you expanded on how you carry your gear, especially your water bottle and pot in it.
@@JoeDeerRunner thanks I’m glad it helped
It only took her 10 minutes, and that's because she had to stop and explain. It's not difficult, and you save space by not having to carry your blanket + everything else in the pack.
Not saying anything about the technique or even materials and the lady is cute and explanation good. But now you have it all wrapped up and it gets chilly so you need your beanie? How long and how much work does it take to get out your beanie and be back on trail again? Where do you leave your canteen and other stuff you need frequently?
And wool does stay warm when wet but it does get really heavy also. Since most of the stuff she carries here is wool that's gonna be a heavy pack in heavy rain. It will also be very cold before your body temperature warms up the wool. Also when sweating the wool is gonna smell really bad. It's always good to know how to make a pack like this (and a pack frame) in emergencies but you can do that at home. So to me this is LARP and not useful in modern days. There's a reason they invented backpacks and I can pick one up for $15 at Walmart that is water repellent and carries all the stuff I need. Put a $5 waterproof liner in there and I can now cross rivers keeping everything dry. My beanie, canteen, cup and coffee inside the pack but on top of course. So when I'm done with my coffee and back on trail she still working her now cold and bloody fingers to untie the whole shit, getting everything dirty and possibly wet.
That's why I say this is LARP. All fun and games in a controlled environment aka your back yard, but show up with this at one of my survival courses and I send you back home.
It’s funny to me because your whole channel is your back yard. This was filmed and the training that this technique has been used at is in Escalante National Monument. The original boss courses have been taught since the 1960s and they’ve had classes cover over 300 miles primitively during one class. It’s literally the oldest survival course in the US with the exception of the US military’s SERE program. Your solution is Walmart gear. Man that’s telling. They use this technique not because it’s the easiest solution but because it teaches a ton of smaller skills like knots and packages and wraps that can be used in other places and situations with other gear. Because it’s extremely survival valuable. If we wanted it to be easy we’d buy ultra light back packing gear. She’s got an army poncho in the video and talks about putting that right on top. Did you watch the whole thing? When you know how to use this you pull one string and you’ve got access to that poncho faster than pulling it out of a pocket. If you really need something constantly you just use a haversack, again in the videos. Also this is a desert environment. All of your concerns about water are irrelevant here and your lack of desert knowledge is astounding. Man it’s time to get out of your environment and learn something new. Your training is lacking substantially and it shows in your comments.
@@TJackSurvival You mean my back yard The Netherlands, with the exception of the footage in Belgium, Germany, Sweden, USA and Colombia? But I've been to almost every country in Europe several times and also to Morocco. Besides bushcraft and survival I'm also outdoor instructor like climbing, rapelling, caving, canyoning, etc. so I do know how tie tie a few knots. ;)
This packaging technique we used in the military wrapping our non waterproof backpack into our poncho to cross rivers. So if boreal forest to deserts and everything in between, from mountains to rivers and lakes and also the tropical jungle is not getting out of my environment, that just means my environment is pretty extended. I do not focus on just one environment.
So this wool blanket survival pack only contains a primitive sleeping system, yet it takes up your entire back being the part of your body that can carry the heaviest load.
Primitive can be fun to do and sure some skills are still useful today. The total package is not useful today and that's why it all has been replaced. So to me this whole primitive stuff is LARP.
Back in the days it was the best they had so there really wasn't a choice. Many went out and many died and never mentioned again. Only the ones that published are still talked about like Nessmuk and Kephart.
So her poncho of modern day material is on top. Her modern day knife is on her belt, her steel water bottle probably in a haversack. Some items, as shown in other videos are carried in the hand. But how long does it take her to get her beanie out was my question and how long to wrap it all up again? So yes, even a Walmart backpack is better. Take backpack of, unzip a bit, take beanie out and put it on your head, zip it up and put it on your back. That's like one minute. Now time how long it takes this lady to get her beanie out and wrap it all up again?
what a great idea, how to wrap items in wool blanket! It makes me want to do something about that too!
Luthfi Wu You have a training list now!
Great video!
Awesome video. She is most defiantly a smart young lady. Easy on the eyes to.
Ken Hadley agreed
I'd would have rather wrapped the poncho/tarp around everything as well... to create a waterproof/resistent and semi dust resistent layer... nothing like chewing dust as you sleep.
Justin Smth if you do that you can’t easily access it to cover both yourself and your bag when it rains.
@TJack Survival
1 - The pack would already be covered... hence keeping my sleeping gear dry.
2 - It would only take a few seconds more to aquire it from around my sleeping gear.
3 - Like I said previously... I wouldn't be chewing dust when I slept.
4 - I would much prefer to find cover first... if cover was not readily accessible then I would sacrifice pulling my cover from my pack.
5 - Yes I understand keeping oneslf dry is important... but I believe keeping ones clothing and sleeping gear is more important... as it provides a way to keep warm when cold, to prevent hypothermia.
Don't get me wrong... great video, she has good attention to detail.
So awesome
Thanks
I know BOSS is in the desert but can anyone tell me, in snowy or rainier climates, or just failing a river crossing and falling over. What happens to your survival situation if your main source of thermoregulation beyond combustion, your sleep system, gets completely soaked? I'm aware that wool insulates when wet, but also by putting yourself in it when wet, it then makes all your other gear harder to dry out. I rely on my bedding to be waterproofed in case of an emergency as a last resort to prevent hypothermia. I guess short of a river fail / capsize you'd just be putting the poncho on over the top to prevent rain causing an issue? I love the idea of doing this, I'm just really keen to hear any experiences with this practically. Does wool alone withstand rain / shed well?
That’s a valid question. Boss wraps that burrito in a poncho. If I used this in the jungle I’d wrap a dry bag up as the taco. In the military we used the old school dry bags inside of our rucks there floated on them. Use what works in your area. In that part of Utah in the summer rain is a welcome thing and you walk in a lot of rivers just to escape the heat.
@@TJackSurvival So you're saying, potentially do the wrap as seen in the video before lashing starts, place the blanket bundle into a dry bag then lash the dry bag so you can rig straps to it? If they wrap the blanket bundle with a poncho before lashing, they have no rain gear for themselves? Or do some of them carry two ponchos?
@@davef5916 Exactly. Or you just get wet and your poncho keeps your kit and blanket dry and you let the sun dry you off after it rains. Or you put the poncho on top of the bundle as she did here, and pull it off when or if it rains and use it to cover you and your blanket pack at the same time. You have options. If you carry two ponchos or two shelter halves
that double as a poncho you also have a solution.
@@TJackSurvival Really appreciate the explanations mate, thank you.
@@davef5916 absolutely thank you for watching. There’s a video Jason Salyer did on his channel On 3 that just released that shows a version of this. We also have content on Survivopedia and Survival Dispatch as well you might like. Thanks again!
this intro is inspiring. good job.
Hey thanks Shaun
Seriously impressive skills!! Never knew you could do that.
Top notch😁
Me neither! She's outstanding.
Brilliant!
One Man Wulf Pack thanks!
It is good. But will it be good if we have pouring, the pack will be wet, why we don't wrap it by poncho, not blanket?
So that you can still remove the poncho and use it both over yourself and your pack.
Thank you for your prompt answer. Now I understand.
Great job friend
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing brother and Thank you Kirsten.
Hey Emrah, thanks for watching.
Thank you for sharing!
birdbrainZ thanks for watching!
Does anyone know which poncho she used
German or French military issue. The best ones to get are the US Army issue woodland ones
excellent.
Thanks bud!
Good job!
Thanks
I've switched to mule tape insted of paracord. It lays flat for pack and gear stowage along with pressure distribution.
Oh that's a good idea. How do the knots hold up with this technique?
Mors used that for snowshoe lashing also.
Wondering where you can buy. I would like a link where I could buy myself that blanket.
Vic Vic type Hudson Bay 5 points blanket into eBay. Good luck!
Vic Vic or find an army navy surplus store. But only but 100% wool.
Hey Kirsten, what kinda knife ,ax,saw? Faribo wool blanket? Good work ! You are making American women proud., lets get you in some shade tho that old sun can be unforgiving.
She carries a Saacha knife, and a Swiss Army Knife saw. Sometimes she carries what I would call a Lowes folding pruning saw. She has seen years of sun due to her experience.
awesome pack, you probably don't want to have to get into it until your ready to retire at your camp for the day.
Ray getoutdoors probably, but once you've done it a few times it gets easier
smart girl
THank you......awesomely demonstrated
Yes she did!
Too much work/time/effort when your hands are cold and wet or if you need something quick. Just because you can roll/fold/tie something into a bundle doesn't make it utilitarian. I think I will stick to my Alice/Ranger pack.
I think this meant more for a minimalist camping for fun and the challenge of it. Not necessarily a survival go to.
I agree with forcetimesmass here. This is for when you don’t have your rucksack for whatever reason. Great alternative.
Good video. What is ur belt knife?
Thanks, it is a Sacha knife on her and a Helle Temagami on me.
Awesome
Need extra pockets for snacks and water bottle. And another towel for sternum strap
Haversack does that, so does a primitive wrap.
Amazing video!!!! Love her..
She is awesome!
Hi,
Where have you found the blanket is great for camping?
Vic Vic in the desert
re load? i could swear i have seen this one before but none the less a good video
+Boreal Woodsrunner Yes I re uploaded it because my music got tagged so I re edited it and re uploaded.
Who was this ladys mentor ?
Self taught ?
Thnxs for uploading and sharing this
👍🏻🇺🇸
She learned from other instructors at BOSS, like Matt Graham, David Holladay, Bric, and others. She lived it for years and learned and taught with the best of the best.
Where's the food containers etc
Running around in the desert and swimming in the streams and growing on the banks of the rivers.
Met her up in Topanga when she was dating MG. Nice lady. I was doing a friction fire demo and MG asked me to explain how friction fire worked. Took me a minute to realize who he was, and that the "master of friction fire" was just messing with me.......Funny guy!
I can see him doing that
Interesting, saw this same type of blanket pack system several years ago demonstrated by “Ihatchetjack” on TH-cam!!
Ya, he probably learned from the same person as her.
Really, really good technique here.
THanks!
Lake Meade is my Stomping Grounds, and i would love to get in contact with you guys
Where is Lake Meade? If you want to go to BOSS find them here. www.boss-inc.com. If you want to get in touch with me find me on my FaceBook page with the same name. TJack Survival. Thanks.
What I do is use a backpack
Hey TJack what is the company's name of your backpack ikn the begining of the video?
That's the Grey Ghost Covert Operator pack!
Thanksc I actually figured that out a few minutes after I made this comment. lol
+Dark _Rogue all good!
So this is in Colorado? I would've thought New Mexico, with all the mesquite I'm seeing.
No this is in Boulder Utah.
what material was that scarf?
Cotton I think. But any natural material will do.
What length is that scarf and the rope you tied your pack up with? Great tutorial!
Tie the pack then cut the rope. The scarf needs to be taller than you in order to fit. Thanks Deb.
This has been around for years
Truth. But no many people know of it as is evident in the comment section here.
So have guitars, but there are still plenty of folks that don't know how to play one.
Thanks for chiming in, but what's your point? Do you feel smarter for having known this before seeing the video, and this is your way of letting the world know?
This fine young lady has shown us something useful, and all you have to offer is a snide remark.
your clothing and gear should be kept as clean as possible at all times 1) if the pores are clogged with dirt the material loses its insulative value 2) all that dirt and grit in the material acts as a mini buzz saw cutting and grinding the cloth causing holes and destruction. one of the hardest things to make in the wilderness would be solid cloth, so poor care and use of your gear is a major sin to a backwoodsman/survivalist/outdoorsperson and sitting/kneeling in the dirt and throwing you blanket/gear onto the loose dirt is a recipe for disaster and very poor form
She's forgotten more than you and I may ever learn. If she's talking I take a knee and learn. You would be well served to do the same.
@@TJackSurvival I’m astounded at the ignorance in the comments. That was an excellent demonstration.
Not sure if we watched the same video? She did everything carefully and cleanly on the poncho, not the bare dirt
I got tired by just watching her doing the pack. It takes a lot of time, even when you know how to do it. But thanks for the effort and the info.
Thanks for watching
You could make a blanket roll in less than half the time
I don't know anyone that doesn't have a backpack.
Even the poorest people coming across the border are wearing
backpacks!
Bad move is getting your blanket dirty.
MrKeymosabe you missed the point entirely.
Man that went over your head .
I love this video and have watched it many times but I have a question. What is a versacloth and what do you do with one? I've searched and can't find an answer and this video is the first time I've ever heard of one. Thank you for your work. -Randy
No joke it is a square piece of cloth that has many versatile uses. About 4' by 5' roughly. It can be used around your waist or over a shoulder, you can put stuff you collect in it, or hold your water in it. It is great for collecting duff to put in the bottom of your shelter. See my how to make a Wiki up video. I use it and talk about it in collecting duff (pine needles in that area). Watch Matt Graham in about any video and he has versa cloth around his waist. It is usually cotton or linen. I like cotton as you can use it to make char cloth if needed. I hope that answers your question. Let me know if you need more than this. Here watch this video. I think Kirsten from this video filmed Matt in the video on the link here: th-cam.com/video/ZVzI4_IVUB8/w-d-xo.html
It talks about the Versa Cloth.
th-cam.com/video/ZVzI4_IVUB8/w-d-xo.html
+TJack Survival thank you very much
Randoker67 Great video huh.
Looks like she has done this once or twice before.
She's probably done this daily for the last 10 years I'm guessing.
TJack Survival In a true , life or death survival situation: I would much rather have someone with her "primative" skills, than a Navy SEAL with 30 pounds of high tech equipment. She can start a fire,build shelter, harvest wild game etc,etc, with what she finds. Therefore, if she was in say a plane crash with absolutely no gear, my money would be on her to survive over someone dependant on "things" that must be brought in by the survivor.
Exactly. If you have seen my Journey to Primitive videos here on this channel I kind of hit on this. I've been a soldier since 1995 and arguably have a lot of skills because of it. However, my survival skills came from her and people like her and not so much from the military. Not saying the military isn't valuable as they taught me navigation, how to properly pack and carry heavy loads and how to take only what I need and none of what I don't. Many many valuable skills were learned from the military about how to use gear properly and what gear to use and what gear not to use. But her skill set, and the primitive skill set I believe should be the basis for all survival. Without that base knowledge, you are dependant upon your gear. With it, your gear is icing on the cake and not a crutch.
