My Lightweight Hiking kit including Cookset | Maxpedition and Snow Peak

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- This video is about my lightweight hiking kit. During shorter hikes I often grab this kit instead of using a backpack. It's lightweight but at the same time it provides the functionality and storage I need for a shorter hike. The system is based on pouches from Maxpedition and the Snow Peak titanium mini solo cookset. The Maxpedition gear it's based on is: Maxpedition Bottle holder 10"x4" and Maxpedition M-1 Waistpacks.

Nice, tight and compact,
Loose the tube of tape, (put the tape around the lighters)
Get a magnifying glass or fresnel lens for fire,
An sol bivy, a dynamo flashlight a wire saw,
And a knife...
I think you should focus more on your sleep/shelter, exposer may be your weak point,
But I like your kit,
I've seen several comments that I agree with like adding a cutting tool or maybe a Leatherman or other multi-tool... but I'd also add a bandana- it's easy to carry and has tons of uses. But love the kit.
Hi! Yes, a knife you should have in the kit. For me the knife is in the belt, always 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@SwedishOutdoor I highly recommend putting 2gether a Belt Kit/Utility Belt as backup/2ndary Survival/Hiking Kit using MOLLE Pouches 4 better/extra preparedness: 1 Admin Pouch whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get it customly filled with Administrative Gear, 1 or multiple/several Machine Gun Ammo/Rifle Mag Pouch(s) in whichever Color ya get it/them that also have more creative/other uses such as store Body Warmth/Firestarters, 1 Dual Pistol Mag Pouch or 2 Single Pistol Mag Pouches in whichever Color ya get it/them filled with 1 Spring Assisted Folding Pocket Knife & 1 Spring Assisted Folding Pocket Multi Tool, 1 Radio Pouch whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get it filled with Radio/Walkie Talkie 4 Emergencies as well as keeping in touch, 1 Flashlight Pouch in whichever Color ya get it filled with Flashlight, 2 Medical Pouches whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get them customly filled up with mish mash (mixture) of 1st Aid/Trauma Supplies & Meds (Medication), 1 or multiple/several Dump Pouch(s) whether Zip Open, Roll-Up or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get it/them, 2 Hydration: Nalgene Bottle/Canteen Pouches whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get them filled up with Nalgene Bottles or Military Canteens, 1 or multiple/several GP (General Purpose) Utility Pouch(s) whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get it/them, 1 or multiple/several Gas Mask Pouch(s) whether Zip Open or Open Flap in whichever Color ya get it/them filled with a Gas Mask plus Gas Mask Pouches also make pretty good/great GP (General Purpose) Utility Pouches themselves do 2 their size & 1 Grenade Pouch in whichever Color ya get it filled with an emergency/survival whistle,1 Shovel Pouch in whichever Color ya get it filled with a Collapsible Multipurpose Shovel just in case you're forced 2 ditch your Main/Primary Survival/Hiking Kit from this video somewhere or in case your Main/Primary Hiking Kit from this video somehow/someway mysteriously disappears/vanishes right underneath your nose!
Jared Wiggins , it seems that you are suggesting different color pouches of miss-match items. Also, why does he need a gas mask?
@@lour7299as you imply, yes you should always try to get the same camo pattern or at least the same colors. And everyone knows that sometimes it can be difficult doing that even when buying from one company. What @jaredwiggins539 is talking about is more geared to SHTF situations for when you need to bug out, especially when he talks about having a protective mask(a much better term/item than "gas mask"). He's not wrong about having some sort of digging tool but you could always Bushcraft a digging stick when hiking/backpacking. A small camp shovel would be a better solution than an E-Tool/collapsible shovel for hiking/backpacking as it takes up considerably less space and is more lightweight. It might take you a little longer to dig but that's something everyone has to decide for themselves. Even when hiking/backpacking, the saying still applies: ounces equal pounds, pounds equal pain. Jared's idea of a belt/waist kit would be easily achieved with this kit. The shoulder strap is long enough to be worn around the waist and with the addition of a removable thigh strap, it then turns into a functional rig that can be used with a backpack/rucksack.
Swedish Outdoors, I was just evaluating my stump shooting kit. The video is great. IN addition to the comments below I would consider carrying a cutting tool, compass and emergency whistle. I carry a modified Mora neck knife and a multi tool.
Great video! Thx PeteA
Where did you carry the kettle lolol
Where were you carrying your tea kettle? That set-up certainly is well organized, though after years of carrying a shoulder bag for work, I've mostly gone back to a small backpack or a belt system if the weight gets above a minimum amount; more balance that plays better with an aging body.
+Random Button Pusher Both carry options have their pros and cons, that for sure. But if I bring more gear a backpack is the choice for me too! Thanks for watching! Btw, the kettle I had at the campsite. We had a camp their the night before and stored the camp gear there :)
SwedishOutdoor That kind of planning makes for light packs!
Random Button Pusher Haha, indeed! But that usually not the case. The titanium cup is the choice when hiking light weight and boiling water. It's a great little cup that works perfect. Take care, Joachim
This is a great set-up. I would add a knife, a multi-tool, a flashlight and a whistle. Also, I would wrap the duct tape around a Bic lighter. Love the pack that you put together though!
Awesome video my friend very relaxing and informative. Love your kit. I’ll be checking out the expedition in there water bottle carrier and attachments. Looks like good stuff.
Amazing set up. I would just only add a knife. I know, i know you have one on your belt. However for me sometimes i am in a hurry to get onto the trail and maybe I forget a knife. That would brother me so much. So even if it's just a small little knife on the outside of the bag i would still be sure to add it.
Super nice kit! I've made a couple similar ones, based on a Maxpedition 12x5 pouch that's kind of an ultra-light kit and a larger one based on a Pathfinder Bottle Bag. The main difference is that I just use a pair of Maxpedition Cocoons on the Maxpedition bag whereas the Pathfinder Bag has a pair of 8"x4"x2" pouches on sides. The Maxpedition Cocoons are small and cylindrical, not a huge amount of space. In one of them I have a fire kit, the other has a Sawyer Mini and water purification tablets. I keep a space blanket, a small multitool, a Ritter Pocket Survival Pack and a few more odds and ends in the front pouch. Lastly I keep an ESEE Izula II on the front pouch, MOLLEd onto the PALS webbing. Obviously there's a water bottle inside! ;-) It has a GSI nesting cup as well.
The Pathfinder Bag is still compact but a bit more comprehensive. It's got all the things the Maxpedition kit has and a few more things. I keep a Space Blanket and a Space Bag since there's room for both along with a disposable poncho. I also keep a real flashlight inside (a Surefire G2 Nitrolon host with a Malkoff M61L dropin) and a Mora knife. There's also a small test tube with some sailmaker's needles and a bunch of safety pins. I keep a Thyrm Cell Vault on the bag in the PALS webbing and also a SAK in a MOLLE'd on pouch. Sometimes I'll swap out a full sized multi-tool for the SAK. Naturally there's a water bottle & cup inside this one, too.
Either of these is enough for an unplanned overnighter and either is pretty light and easy to carry. Both of them are also fluid, changed any time I run across something that I find that I like better.
Sound like you have a nice kit there Rob! Thanks for watching!
Very nice kit! Maxpedition makes quality gear. I have that same water bottle pouch attached to my bug out bag. What's really cool about it, too, is that it'll fit a large thermos to hold either hot water for tea, coffee, whatever your favorite hot drink is. Sometimes I fill it with ice cold water 3/4 the way and then top it off with ice chips. The temps here have been in the high 80's and low 90's (Fahrenheit) lately. Having that ice cold water, even 8 hours into a hike, is so welcomed. I've had coffee stay hot for almost two full days in this bag; the combination of the thermos insulation and the inherent insulation qualities of Maxpedition bags is incredible. It's especially nice when winter hiking or camping. Having to wait for water to boil sucks sometimes when you feel hypothermic. Another hack I use with Smart Water bottles is wrap the bottle with duck tape. It seems to protect the bottle from the sun and the water is several degrees cooler than if unwrapped. BTW nice hike and your dog is beautiful.
Nice video and nicely filmed. Did u go out without a knife?
+3b camping&bushcraft I never go to the woods without a knife :) I had my Stephen Wade Cox knife with me (in the belt). Thanks for commenting! Take care, Joachim
You should have a firebox nano with the X-case in the front pocket..
love the videos! And love your cook kit.It seems like you have everything covered in a small kit! looking forward to your next vid.
+Explore101 Thank you!
I imagine where this video was recorded, this location is bear country? Do you carry bear spray?
Maxpedition gear is expensive but good. A cheaper alternative is OneTigris at a fraction of the price. Their water bottle carrier is very similar. Nice video.
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, that's a great looking kit. I really like it. Always Stay safe out there. 😊
Thank you 👍
lol i had to just mess a little bit with you on the food like i said i also have the same bottle thing ya it's kinda bomb proof lol . i also have a gun scabbard its made the same way i use it for my 1919 winchester 1894 30 -30 saddle ring and i can also put stuff on it like you did . i don't take the gun very often because it was my wifes great grandfather's rifle when he was a US Texas ranger in the 1920s so i don't want to scratch it or anything .
+Dan Leasure That's a cool rifle you got! Understand what you mean, it's a legacy you need to take good care of!
Sorry, I forgot to mention a suggestion. I have a plastic see-through poncho in my hiking kit that can double as an emergency shelter. I've even used a plastic drop sheet that painters use as an emergency shelter which cost me $1 at a Dollar Tree. You probably don't have Dollar Tree's or Dollar General's but you must have discount stores I would think. Either would fit in one of your kit's pockets. The poncho packaged is 10mm X 12mm. The drop sheet is larger but it folds down to wallet size. Have a great day hiking!
I was wondering the same, but I think he might be using the emergency blanket to make a shelter if required.
Nice video, just found your channel and have subbed as I like it very much, the tube with duct tape, you could stuff the black sack etc in the hollow tube, I carry strike anywhere matchs in a sml matchsafe, mini sawyer filter+bag; water in the UK isn't that good, fresnal lense ,sml rite in the rain pad and pencil, brass button compass that pins onto the pouch, sml ti5 torch ,it does fit in them pouch you have as I have the same, hope it helps, cheers craig
+Craig Twiner Thanks Craig, good advice about using the storage in the tube! Take care, Joahim
I am a little confused. Where did the kettle come from that you were boiling your water with? I did not see another pouch and it obviously did not fit in the pouches you showed us?
Hi! The site I am at in this video had a fire place and acted as a small base camp with some items stored there. The kettle is one of them 😊
The Bag: once you see you can't unsee
For your role of duct tape, make it smaller by using the outer tube of a pen to wrap the tape around (cut to size), takes up much less room.
+Happy Camper Good advice! Take care, Joachim
Better still, wrap it around your Bic lighter.
Wrap duct tape around an old gift card or credit card. Keeps it nice and flat. One for two sideways of 1" tape and one lengthwise for 2" tape. Maybe a third one for orange duct tape.
hello thanks for making this , i have a similar video on my 5 lb survival kit challenge video i have the same stove and snow peaks kit as you have hard to believe how light it is . did i miss something i didn't see any food . i have used the same style setup like you have in the past but i found that the bottle holder and pockets are kinda heavy made and i found i like a small ultralight backpack better because its lighter and i can jam more into it lol a pack rat .
+Dan Leasure Agree with you, there is absolutely other solutions that are more lightweight then Maxpeditions, but I really like the robust feeling of their products! Feels like they are built to last for a very long time! About the food, I had a portion freze dried chicken that I just added hot water to. Ate it before the shoot :) I usually keep it in one of the side pockets though! Take care, Joachim
Thanks for the great ideas. I have a knock off like that plus some different Moller small pouches that could be hooked up. Appreciate you sharing the info. Keep up the good work.
stay safe keep warm have fun and whittle to keep your sanity ;-)
Thank you Doug! Wish you a great week!
nice setup, I have a spare Maxpedition bottle carrier and some other bits of kit laying around. may have to make a setup like this for edc/short hikes
+Tea In The Trees They work really great, hope you find some good use for them! Take care, Joachim
Nice kit what about the mug and cup where can i buy these? Also shoulder strap is it maxpedition 2"?
Hi! It’s a SnowPeak titanium cup. I think I bought in on Ebay 😊 The sholderstrap is Maxpedition 👍
I love demo videos where the equipment is so top secret they don't have model numbers. Just saying.
Hi Ken, any item I can help you with?
testa att linda upp silvertejpen på ett gammalt kreditkort,då spar du mycket plats. bra video.
+magnus andersson Det är ett bra tips Magnus! Helt klart värt att testa! Enda fördelen med den större rullen är att jag på sommaren får plats med lite fiskkrockar och lina. Då fyller den även funktionen att användas som ett enklare fiske redskap! Tack för tipset!
Good job, sir!
+Multi-Tool School Thank you very much, glad you liked it! Take care, Joachim
Great kit. Can I ask where you got your shirt from please?
Hi Sam! It's a Fjällräven Granit shirt. I bought it directly from Fjällräven. Take care, Joachim
👍 Interesting set up. Also would like to know how you carried the kettle.
The magical kettle 😉
Great video ...i like the side pouches. ...
Thank you! They work great in that configuration 👍
What a nice set up. Thank you for this video. I got some good ideas from it! 👍
M Angel Great to hear you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks, good information…..nice kit. 👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you! Glad you liked it 👍
It is actually very practical, I did the same thing with mine except mine is a Pathfinder that includes in the bottle (I put some stuff in it) so we got a ferro rod, waterproof matches, lighter, utensils, head lamp, (redundancy is a good thing), toothpaste pills, multitool kit, knife, mirror, compass. In the little bags, food, protein bars, 550 paracord, whistle, sorry I can put a picture it won't let me.
Hmm nice idea for a minimalist kit. Going to adapt this for a minimalist cooking/baking kit for my channel. Thanks for making this video!
Your wasting a ton of space with that big ass roll you got the tape on
Yes, that one left the setup later on 😊
You had a kettle in the fire. How did you transport it?
Hi! It was already at the camp site. Cheers 😊
That looks nice, but i prefer a backpack w/ a water bladder. I use the same pack for almost everything so I know exactly where everything is.
Next time bring a beautiful Swedish woman instead of the dog. You'll have a better time, she can do your cooking and we'll enjoy the video more.
I would suggest that you wear a hiking belt that goes over your pant's belt. Distribute the weight by putting your pouches on the belt. You'll move faster (if you want to) and be lighter on your feet. Your shoulder will also feel better.
Thanks for the video. Great photography and beautiful scenery . . . . don't forget the woman next time. Cheers from Tennessee. Happy to subscribe. Sweden is where I want to be born in my next life.
A very well done video.
Where did you carry the pot you used to boil water in?
Hi! The pot was stored at our basecamp. If I need to boil when out of basecamp I use the canteen in the kit. Cheers!
A good quality Poncho is needed to round out your grab and go kit. Weather changes fast and ruins even the shortest of hikes. I would reinforce the carrying strap by using the Poncho as extra padding.
Very nice.
Regards.
Juan Antonio
+Juan Antonio G. J. Thanks for your support Juan Antonio! Take care, Joachim
Nice video and a good kit for a day hike..
Some people here suggest you to ad this and that..but than it would be more pratical to take a simple back pack with you..of course
I like, all the best from Portugal.
Thank you! Take care, Joachim
You sir are a genius. I just bought a stupid haversack but this is all I need.
😊 Thank you for the kind words! It works really great this setup.
I got one. Haven’t tested it yet.
What volume of water will the Klean Canteen shown in this video hold? Thank you.
Hi! 1184 ml I think it is, 40 Oz. Great bottle 👍
SwedishOutdoor many thanks.
The contents way less than the “pack”.
A pack of good quality is a big must for me 👍
That roll for your duct tape is a waste, you're using space when you can easily wrap it around a credit card and save a lot more room.
Thanks for posting! Now, let's pack some doggie chow. That po'r thang is so ravenous that he's eatin' sticks!
What a shame that you have stopped making videos.
Always enjoyed watching them :((
U should put your duck tape on a old credit card. It saves room by being very thin.
Where was your teabag? 😮
Teabag?
I love this kit! I need to put something together like this! I've never seen that Esbit stove, i like the size of it! New Subscriber to your Channel!
Grizzlytaco Nice to hear you liked it 😊 Take care, Joachim
Cook system yet nothing to cook???? I like the set up for a lightwiegh t day trip.
Nice set! How many oz is your klean kanteen that fits in your water pouch?
I like your cooking kit, could you tell me your clean kanteen model? Thanks!
Nice video. Great pack.
Thank you! Take care, Joachim
Maxpedition are meant to last. It's funny SwedishOutdoor I purchase a Maxpedition wallet and now suddenly I see their kit everywhere. Good kit bag and contents. All the best. Mark.
Thanks Mark! Agree, they are built to last, really like their products! Take care, Joachim
SwedishOutdoor Hi there Joachim. I have purchased over the years that much cheap stuff I now only buy what's quality or if its cheap it has to be exceptional somewhere. All the best. Mark.
I like what you did with the bottle pouch kit. I did something like it for Search and Rescue dog work. I added some sewing needles, dental floss and wound seal for dogs and vet wrap to my gadget pouch med kit. Water bottle .75 liter for the dog too.
Intent was for 8-12 hour kit max. Plus a Swiss Army Knife Treker in a Condor magazine pouch.
I may have missed it - so sorry if I did - but I didn't see your knife. I would pack a SAK Farmer in there. In addition to a knife, It has a small saw, reamer and bottle and can openers.
Hi! Yes, I think I didn't show that clearly enough, you see it in my belt in the intro :) I usually has a knife on my hip when out in the woods! Take care and thanks for watching!
👍🏻
I don't know if ticks are a problem where you hike, but if they are , a tick key would be a very good addition to your first aid kit.
Hi! Yes, we have a lot of ticks in our area! So thats a great idea 👍
Very good ideas, Thank you very much
Are you located in the south of Sweden ? Glaskogen national park? Looks quite like it there
Hi Max, I live more in the middle of Sweden, South of Stockholm. This video is filmed in Kolmården, a great area for hiking! Take care, Joachim
So where is the food 😜
Just place for a powerbar Left 😊
Great video my friend. I like your maxpedition kit. I just viewed it for the first time. Thank you for sharing. Be safe out there.
Ronald Rose Glad you liked it Ronald! Take care, Joachim
funny you didn't have that kettle in your out fit. the thing I find with any kind of shoulder bag is it makes you stand and walk crooked.
Hi Tim! Yes I agree with you, if the shoulder bag is too heavy it can be annoying and affect the way you walk. Therefore I only have mine with low weight type of items. Take care, Joachim
Very enjoyable theme music .
Would you know where I can buy that French survival blanket or the name of the company?
HI! This one I bought at IKEA a few years ago. They don't have it any longer, Take care, Joachim
Man I love your channel brother I use the Garmin fenix 3hr watch for navigating
Thank you! Really glad you like it! Take care and hope you will have som nice outdoor adventures this winter!
brilliant
Thank you 😊
Great kit! I'd add some more food in case you ever get stuck in the bush overnight due to circumstances beyond your control.
Illinois Outdoors & Prepping Reviews Yes, if possible more to eat is great to carry with you! Thanks for watching!
Har du någon video om den där lilla titanium stove?
Hej! I denna video ser du mer av den: th-cam.com/video/cKLJJ6HssvY/w-d-xo.html

protein doesn't give you quick energy it's carbohydrates
Indeed it is! Take care, Joachim
Nice. I like your setup and I will use it. Thanks for sharing!

U need a knife and a poncho
Nice video and great channel any plans for more videos stay safe
Thank you John! Appreciate it! I really hope to get more videos out soon :) Take care, Joachim

+Mikael Kagerö Tackar :)
Nice kit but no knife? Thanks for sharing.
Hi Jim! The knife is on my hip, in the belt. I don't think I show that so thanks for commenting and watching the video! Take care, Joachim
Great kit for the minimalist for a few hours to 8 hours at a pinch. I would add a few boiled lollies (sweets in UK / Candy in USA) for a morale boost or sugar hit. G'day from Australia.
Boiled mollies, must google that :)
@@SwedishOutdoor Lollies = candy, So Rock Candy would be the same in the USA for you. In the army we were always dropping a few in your water bottles to give you a sugar hit as you moved fast.
@@matthewbrown6163 Cool, see that I wrote it wrong :) Yes, a quick suger hit can make a huge difference out in the field! Take care!
What is that cook set called? Are they two pieces of a different set?
Hi! It's called Snow Peak titanium mini solo cookset. Take care, Joachim
SwedishOutdoor Thanks bud!
i don't like ABBA. just sayin
You could place a folding knife inside the duck tape roll? I also always carry a shelter of some kind - tarp or bivvy bag. I do like ABBA :-).
How do you carry your GSI kettle
Diane jacobsen Hi Diane! In this video I was at a camp site where I had some camping gear already! But if the gsi wasn’t there I use the titanium pot that I have in the pack to boil water. Thanks for watching , take care Joachim
what about that big pot i saw in the fire?
Hi! Thats a GSI pot that we have stored on the camp site. When out hiking I boil water in the snow peak mug instead of the GSI. Take care, Joachim
Pretty dog
+Jeffrey Johnson She´s great :)
Fint!
Tack! :)
I would recommend wrapping duct tape only upon itself, no core object (credit card, tube, etc.) is needed. Also I didn't see a knife, which should be included for obvious reasons. Finally, i would recommend a compass just in case.
Hi! The knife is always with me in the woods :) It's on my hip, I think you see it in the beginning of the video. Take care, Joachim
