+DropForgedSurvival Haha I made a day of it, it's the second one I've done and am starting to get the hang of it. Its mostly prep, the picture process is easy
I’ll be ordering my Vanquest bagpack real soon. I’ve just recently started prepping, but I’ve been a preparer at heart from birth. Thanks for showing us all these new equipment that can make our lives easier on our prepping journey.
If CP has to bug out, just imagine how much he's leaving behind. You home would be the ultimate find for someone who comes across it while they are bugging out/trying to survive whatever lead up to the evacuation.
Oh my gosh this is good stuff. Canadian Prepper - please send your video to a Hollywood director and make a Hollywood movie about a disaster/survival story. You are the Vin Diesel of preppers. You probably get that a lot!
To be honest,I was sold at the beginning. His look,his movement,his aggressiveness on prepn,yea he is the real deal or a reall really good actor..keep doing your work .We like watching
Great I plan to get a grocery cart, like a bag lady , sense I'm older I'll fit the part! I'll be able to take this backpack in style , put a blanket over it and push it down the road .
@Fuzzy Wuzzy LOL its not that kind of back pack ..its like saddle bags for your dog. just so i dont have to carry all his stuff too..and its like mesh,not bulky. but yes he can get into trees. but not a issue yet.
I needed that laugh. Yeah, guess there is doggy saddle bags but like the folks already mention Marshall is recovering still even though he doesn't look it..
Excellent good show and tell today canadian prepper. I am improving my health & reevaluate my gear to modify for my special needs as a older lady. Thanks
Cool intro. One of the difficulties I'm having with my bob is how to setup everything so that it is easily accessible this intro gave me some good ideas.
l say als have a fr0nt pack, 0pp0slte t0 back pack, keep the m0st lmp0rtant ltems ln the fr0nt pack. WlTH Fr0nt pack lt wlll help balance welght wlth the back pack.
@@rjenkins4325 keep feeding the dog as normal but when the time comes his animal instincts will kick in because they know just as well as we do what the situation is. Just like Canadian prepper said people will not be nice and just roll over and die if they're hungry. The dog will eat if he's hungry like very hungry
My cat is ready! Kills birds every day and he is stealth enough to kill squirrel and rabbits! He came home with a rabbit last week almost the size of him! Don't know how the hell he does that but he's the most skilled cat I ever had at hunting. Plus, he eats his kills and leaves them for me to pick up the carcasses I find in the back yard. He'd be fine in a collapse scenario and might help me if I was ever to run out of my preps.
I did not like that pack very much, your review has changed my mind. Honestly out of all the gear reviewers I watch you are by far the best. All of your videos are well thought out, and are very well done. I may not agree with ya on a few things, but your content is always top notch. Thank you Nate for doing what you do. You always do it well, and that is to be respected.
Not really difficult. They got legs and shoulders and can carry their own load which would mainly consist of food and water. Seems like his pack covers the rest.
One of your best gear reviews. The “stop” motion when opening and closing the pack section was well done. The quality presentation shows you put a lot of time in presenting this gear review. I approve of you spelling out the “G” word, as no one knows how “UTbe” is gong these days. JSOG6
Another great pack if you're looking for alot of molle attachments is the Tactical Tailor Extended Range Operator Pack. A really cool feature they have is you can attach a small bug out bag to it. Pretty pricey but extremely good quality gear.
Nice pack and nice kit! It always bothers me a little to see a "g-u-n" :) stored barrel up. One of the weird things that stick with me from bootcamp years later.
I really like the stop motion assembly, gets the point across. Although personally I'm more of a light packer, this is a great setup. You could probably save a little weight just by ditching the thicc machete and sharpening the shovel etc but thats just my personal preference, not a hiker.
Could you make a video on how to balance life and prepping, because I'm at the cusp of adulthood and that's one of the concerns for me. I know it depends on the situation, but general tips would be nice.
I was going to suggest Nate maybe to sell a prepacked pack like this on your website? Many people have difficulty on what to fill it with and don’t realize it until they actually need it or use it. I think that would help people. Sure it would be more expensive but once people realize what they’re getting I think they’ll go for it!
Love your content CP. I'm hoping to order my BugOut roll ASAP. It will be a big organizational help for my bag. If my wife likes it, we'll order another.
said it once before, and will say it again,... Would love to see a CP backpack with integrated bugoutroll. You have the right experience, knowledge, and practical mindset to make something like this, but better... Cheers
Hey Canadian Prepper. Did you know everyday you're living the shtf lifestyle? You may not thjnk, but we think so. You're always out there by yourself. That's commendable.
A 60 lb pack is not that bad unless you never wear it. And are a couch potato. You won’t make it anyways. Mine are 60-100 lbs. but guess what I hike/run with them all the time in training. You are only ready for what you train for.
My brother Canadian pepper I want to thank you for making this video and also for sharing with us viewers the backpack that you use. 👍 Please don't stop making videos ❗ as I said before you have your 👉 head in the right place 👈. And may God keep blessing your business and your family 🙏.. and can you please do a review on what you feed Marshall when you guys are out in the woods ❓ because I'm planning to buy a German Shepherd puppy and I would like your suggestion from you as to what to feed my dog out in the field.... Thank you again you're awesome 😎
Looks cool, having grow up in the bush (northern Canada), I feel there are far too many trinkets in there. More food and water for longer term should be added , in my opinion.
I know what you mean, I like a lanyard on almost everything that has a lanyard hole . When I use the tool I don't have to grip it as hard and that extra energy saved can go to my core strength which saves overall energy. Things like sawing or most knife use and hatchett use to me calls for a lanyard made of paracord. People like CP are super strong and the lanyard seems to get in their way, but they too will get tired eventually and may never have noticed that they could have conserved some energy with the use of lanyards . Then the tiredness becomes a safety issue and it's easier to get an injury.
Like the back pack, but ghillie suit it later also would be nice if they had an attached tie down waterproof rain cover keep your barrel dry and bedding dry too. Nice to see Marshall sticking close to you too.
Dude! You should offer an option on a pimped out back pack all done up.. If someone payed in advance and you could just ship out a fully completed pack with instructions and considerations.. That wouldbe awesome. I would be interestedin knowingwhat you would need for something like that.. I understand maybe it'd take you a month to get it all together
You could offer different range options and I'm left handed and you're clearly not but that would be good for you to consider left handed set up.. Contemplate on how left handers move and think.. They fight backwards lol.. South paws got tricks lol
You need a saw sheath with molle webbing on it. You can then attach that sheath to the pack and other pouches to the sheath. You can then slide the plastic sheath and saw out of the molle sheath for safe use without disturbing the pack setup.
Damn, that's one sweet looking pack and setup. PS, did I miss something, you're driving a Tundra now? Sweet looking truck... will have to go look for that video.
Canadian Prepper I bought my first truck last year and ultimately went with a 1/2 ton for similar reasons. Look forward to seeing a Tundra review and future mods.
You put a lot of work into this review. Well done. I'm not a fan of the upper chest/neck knife mount. I tried that for a while on mine, but ended up moving it back down to hip because I felt it was awkward to get the blade back in the sheath so close to my face.
That pack seems to be a great pack and looks like an awesome setup. If im not mistaken you will probably want a bigger pack for a family setup, with more dependants and all. If thats what youre after I would suggest looking into the hunting industry. companies like Kifaru international, Mystery Ranch, and Stone Glacier make incredible packs designed for backpack hunting, so not only very durable, but weight is in mind.
Hey bro, you should do a review on the Tenzing TZ 6000. It's a back country hunting and hiking pack. I love it! It's pricey also. But I think you can pick it up now for around $240 on amazon. Great review. I might grab one of these bags as well. Looks very similar to my Tenzing.
First of all great video. And I know this video isn't about much more than the backpack review, but I do have a question on one part of the shown equipment. As you let us see what you've put into the backpack I can see the radio. This is a good and cheap communications solution, but in the wild it has a somewhat limited range. Did I miss an extra antenna in this pack? Some form of wire antenna and some feet of coax shouldn't be a large weight but will be worth it's weight in gold in some situations. Kind regards, Xander.
I'd just be concerned in a BOB that looked so good that anyone seeing you with it would know you have better provisions than them so you'd be a target of ppl tryna take yo' shee-yit
Unique ruck set. Some mods to have. (1) john-knifechet on the thigh vs all other blades and that chopper blade. (2) john-firecan (stealth) Model C (cooking/eating gear 1-4 people, modular design) - toss all other crap gear. (3) john-firekit cigar holder, ferro rod, tinder, tinder material, small candles, screw-cap fuel container. (4) Get a felt-lined rifle quiver and put on opposite ruck side (and pull out over shoulder). (5) install john-pad (with snaps) in folded "6" design. Snap high side to ruck, provides greater insulation and padding between ruck and back. Drop down small flap for sitting pad. Unsnap and lay out as sleeping pad. (6) various lengths of 550 and bank line john-cord. (7) using a hammock, then mod for a flat-rectangle sleep hammock with head/foot extenders, john-cords as the hammock edge lines, ... and grommet holes on the sleeping bivvy. Slide bivvy onto john-cord lines. Attach and knot-lock john-cord to trees. Multi-seasonal sleep system, skeeter proof, remove ridgeline and skeeter netting. Same for not needing undercomforter. (8) john-hiking poles (extendable), snake poles, shelter construction poles, ... convert into fishing pole(s). (9) john-boonie EDC hat (neck tube, shemaugh/bandana neck sunshade, mosquito head hetting, small gloves, john-face sunshade, 2 plastic shower caps (over head, over boonie for dryness), and other small gear in the boonie head and rim pockets. (10) (as you said) ruck side pockets under outer mollie webbing (etc.) for storing flat/long articles. (11) tyvek painter's suit, zippered, with hoodie and elastic wrist/ankles (rain and wet proof, dry/warm in wind and rain) through brush and forest. camou spray paint for stealth. also works as anti-mosquito/-tick/-biting fly suit when sitting, sleeping, walking. (12) If having entire family doing walk-about, then bring small aluminum/stainless steel pressure cooker (40+ uses) for water, boiling, sterilizing, washing, cleaning, big pressure-steam cook ups, ...
That is a nice looking backpack and if I didn't already have a great backpack I would want that one. I don't carry that much with me so I keep my load down to less than 40 pounds. The ability to carry extra water in a bladder is very important if you are going to be away from a stream which have clear water.
Good review. I got the ibex-35 originally..but found that after adding some clothes I lost some space. Will say you cannot get the space unless you want to venture to the outside, no end of day stuff but hey be prepared.
Information: All solar panels will degrade with time. Typically by the end of the first decade you have lost about 20% efficiency. Another decade later is another drop of about 20% efficiency. Most solar panel manufacturers only offer a guarantee that they will be 80% maximum output after 10 years. Beyond that, it can be a crapshoot depending on many factors including environment, use, damage, or other things. Bear in mind that figures such as 80% maximum output doesn't mean as much as you think in terms of loss. For example, most solar panels these days range around 20-25% efficiency. That means when you have your first "drop off" during the first decade, your solar panel will go from say 25% efficiency down to 20% efficiency. A decade later it will drop another 20% on average, leading to your solar panel operating at 16% efficiency. This is the reason why you should purchase solar panels which provide _at least 25% more power_ than you anticipate needing otherwise it will be a waste of your time when the degradation occurs. The amorphous solar film panels (like the kind he features) have a shorter lifespan than the rigid mono or polycrystalline panels. The reason for this is because of the ability to move. This wears down the connectivity compared to a more rigid connection with hard panels. The photovoltaic cells are also smaller, and because they are flexible, this makes them more susceptible to damage and thus reduced efficiency. That being said though, there are advantages to amorphous solar panels compared to rigid panels (as he mentioned in the video) since they typically perform better in lower light even though under ideal conditions they are less efficient. They're also flexible, of course, which means you can pack them up in a less cumbersome manner.
@@GainesMediaInc Answer: I'm not sure which one you mean, I don't recall personally having seen any advertisements for a charger called Liberty. Query: Did you mean this one? www.prestowind.com/full-list-of-products.html Statement: I haven't really looked into larger hand-crank devices for generating power. The one I use is the Esky Portable Emergency Charger. It's a combination flashlight/radio/handcrank/solar/USB output. They're pretty cheap (around $15) and durable enough. They're not the best but they are a good value. I try to, whenever possible, have combination tools and this one along with others like it fit the bill decently enough. Having comms is important, at least having the NOAA band and AM/FM gives you something to work with. I don't have it as a primary radio, that's what my Baofeng is for. It's a nice backup while also serving as backup flashlight and alternative power source. I haven't had much difficulty using it to put some functional power into my celphone, e-reader, flashlights or batteries or other small devices. It can charge using solar for when you're in camp, and crank for a bit extra. It's not much, but as I said it's not my primary method of power generation. Given that they're pretty cheap they're a handy device to have several of them. I keep one in the car and one in the house for blackouts/backup and one in my go pack.
Answer: Those who have significant distance between them and their bugout location over rough terrain where vehicles may or may not be an option. Those who intend (like me) to be off the beaten path and avoid *all roads, train tracks, rivers, and anything close to meatbag inhabited areas* on the way. Of course, you don't need to be a prepper to enjoy a pack like this. It's actually a nice middle ground between the huge hiking packs and the 72 hr packs. For instance, if you have a family with small children, the father could carry that pack with all the essential gear and most of the food while the wife and kids could carry changes of clothes and their own water and a little food.
What does anyone think about color blue for pack? I have seen side by side at night time light. It does blend with the background better than black. Come to think of it, survivor lilly had a blue pack on the trip her and candadian prepper took.
Statement: Black actually stands out more than you would think at night-time. A far superior choice if you are considering stealth would be a dark blue or navy blue or even olive drab. Olive drab, or a camouflaged version with OD green, would be superior to the typical "tactical black." Of course, you have to tailor yourself to the environment and what the pack is being used for. A black pack will not stand out as much in a city, where a camouflaged one will. The reverse is also true. There is no real "one size fits all" solution. You have to prioritize what you want as the primary factor and that will always come with costs toward other areas.
For those asking for cost for everything in the kit he had with back pack it's just around 900$ US. The pack alone is around 300$. I'm not to crazy with the gun being exposed like that though. Not sure if they make a sheath for it. If you are going to go for a large ruck like this I would recommend the Eberlestock Operator Pack. But to each his own.
That pack assembling bit you made is pretty slick.
Very neat piece of equipment.
Stop-motion can be pretty awesome
Mate that was a seriously impressive opening sequence, well done.
*I don’t even want to know how long that spot motion animation took you!* that is dedication
+DropForgedSurvival Haha I made a day of it, it's the second one I've done and am starting to get the hang of it. Its mostly prep, the picture process is easy
I'm into bushcraft and have seen hundreds of gear review videos with a focus on backpacks. This video was the best.
I’ll be ordering my Vanquest bagpack real soon. I’ve just recently started prepping, but I’ve been a preparer at heart from birth. Thanks for showing us all these new equipment that can make our lives easier on our prepping journey.
If CP has to bug out, just imagine how much he's leaving behind. You home would be the ultimate find for someone who comes across it while they are bugging out/trying to survive whatever lead up to the evacuation.

Yes! I'm also interested in the cost of the whole package. How much?
The pack alone is 300$ US. Total its over 900$.
That was an awesome video! I could never carry anything that huge, but it sure looked good on YOUR back. :-)
Hey Canadian Prepper love the videos
Ya that colour doesn’t work for you, just send that pack my way 😝
He aint going grayman with that pack. Its enormous
You need a saw sheath with molle webbing on it. You can then attach that sheath to the pack and other pouches to the sheath. You can then slide the plastic sheath and saw out of the molle sheath for safe use without disturbing the pack setup.
Damn, that's one sweet looking pack and setup. PS, did I miss something, you're driving a Tundra now? Sweet looking truck... will have to go look for that video.

I'd just be concerned in a BOB that looked so good that anyone seeing you with it would know you have better provisions than them so you'd be a target of ppl tryna take yo' shee-yit
leyenda61 that’s what a pack cover can be handy
cover it with a trash bag and suddenly you look like a hobo
Great bag! What will you drop first when being chased?
Shoot em in the leg.
They'll quit chasing.
Drop the lead.
That's why you must stay in shape so that you don't have to drop nothing ❗👌
That is a very cool rifle indeed
Unique ruck set. Some mods to have.
(1) john-knifechet on the thigh vs all other blades and that chopper blade.
(2) john-firecan (stealth) Model C (cooking/eating gear 1-4 people, modular design) - toss all other crap gear.
(3) john-firekit cigar holder, ferro rod, tinder, tinder material, small candles, screw-cap fuel container.
(4) Get a felt-lined rifle quiver and put on opposite ruck side (and pull out over shoulder).
(5) install john-pad (with snaps) in folded "6" design. Snap high side to ruck, provides greater insulation and padding between ruck and back. Drop down small flap for sitting pad. Unsnap and lay out as sleeping pad.
(6) various lengths of 550 and bank line john-cord.
(7) using a hammock, then mod for a flat-rectangle sleep hammock with head/foot extenders, john-cords as the hammock edge lines, ... and grommet holes on the sleeping bivvy. Slide bivvy onto john-cord lines. Attach and knot-lock john-cord to trees. Multi-seasonal sleep system, skeeter proof, remove ridgeline and skeeter netting. Same for not needing undercomforter.
(8) john-hiking poles (extendable), snake poles, shelter construction poles, ... convert into fishing pole(s).
(9) john-boonie EDC hat (neck tube, shemaugh/bandana neck sunshade, mosquito head hetting, small gloves, john-face sunshade, 2 plastic shower caps (over head, over boonie for dryness), and other small gear in the boonie head and rim pockets.
(10) (as you said) ruck side pockets under outer mollie webbing (etc.) for storing flat/long articles.
(11) tyvek painter's suit, zippered, with hoodie and elastic wrist/ankles (rain and wet proof, dry/warm in wind and rain) through brush and forest. camou spray paint for stealth. also works as anti-mosquito/-tick/-biting fly suit when sitting, sleeping, walking.
(12) If having entire family doing walk-about, then bring small aluminum/stainless steel pressure cooker (40+ uses) for water, boiling, sterilizing, washing, cleaning, big pressure-steam cook ups, ...
God bless the 8 minute intro.
This is a bag review, not a bug out system.
That is a nice looking backpack and if I didn't already have a great backpack I would want that one. I don't carry that much with me so I keep my load down to less than 40 pounds. The ability to carry extra water in a bladder is very important if you are going to be away from a stream which have clear water.
Good review. I got the ibex-35 originally..but found that after adding some clothes I lost some space. Will say you cannot get the space unless you want to venture to the outside, no end of day stuff but hey be prepared.
Do mobile/portable solar panels have a life span generally?
Information: All solar panels will degrade with time. Typically by the end of the first decade you have lost about 20% efficiency. Another decade later is another drop of about 20% efficiency. Most solar panel manufacturers only offer a guarantee that they will be 80% maximum output after 10 years. Beyond that, it can be a crapshoot depending on many factors including environment, use, damage, or other things.
Bear in mind that figures such as 80% maximum output doesn't mean as much as you think in terms of loss. For example, most solar panels these days range around 20-25% efficiency. That means when you have your first "drop off" during the first decade, your solar panel will go from say 25% efficiency down to 20% efficiency. A decade later it will drop another 20% on average, leading to your solar panel operating at 16% efficiency.
This is the reason why you should purchase solar panels which provide _at least 25% more power_ than you anticipate needing otherwise it will be a waste of your time when the degradation occurs.
The amorphous solar film panels (like the kind he features) have a shorter lifespan than the rigid mono or polycrystalline panels. The reason for this is because of the ability to move. This wears down the connectivity compared to a more rigid connection with hard panels. The photovoltaic cells are also smaller, and because they are flexible, this makes them more susceptible to damage and thus reduced efficiency.
That being said though, there are advantages to amorphous solar panels compared to rigid panels (as he mentioned in the video) since they typically perform better in lower light even though under ideal conditions they are less efficient. They're also flexible, of course, which means you can pack them up in a less cumbersome manner.
@@hk-4714 , great info there bud.
@@hk-4714 , do you have any opinion/"guesstimation" on the viability of that Liberty handheld charger that's being advertised all over TH-cam?
@@GainesMediaInc Answer: I'm not sure which one you mean, I don't recall personally having seen any advertisements for a charger called Liberty.
Query: Did you mean this one? www.prestowind.com/full-list-of-products.html
Statement: I haven't really looked into larger hand-crank devices for generating power. The one I use is the Esky Portable Emergency Charger. It's a combination flashlight/radio/handcrank/solar/USB output. They're pretty cheap (around $15) and durable enough. They're not the best but they are a good value.
I try to, whenever possible, have combination tools and this one along with others like it fit the bill decently enough. Having comms is important, at least having the NOAA band and AM/FM gives you something to work with. I don't have it as a primary radio, that's what my Baofeng is for. It's a nice backup while also serving as backup flashlight and alternative power source.
I haven't had much difficulty using it to put some functional power into my celphone, e-reader, flashlights or batteries or other small devices. It can charge using solar for when you're in camp, and crank for a bit extra. It's not much, but as I said it's not my primary method of power generation.
Given that they're pretty cheap they're a handy device to have several of them. I keep one in the car and one in the house for blackouts/backup and one in my go pack.
This morning I just bought a Stainless Steel Kleen Kanteen.
You don’t want to be fussing with those clips when trying to get your “n u g”
What type of preppers would need this?
Answer: Those who have significant distance between them and their bugout location over rough terrain where vehicles may or may not be an option. Those who intend (like me) to be off the beaten path and avoid *all roads, train tracks, rivers, and anything close to meatbag inhabited areas* on the way.
Of course, you don't need to be a prepper to enjoy a pack like this. It's actually a nice middle ground between the huge hiking packs and the 72 hr packs.
For instance, if you have a family with small children, the father could carry that pack with all the essential gear and most of the food while the wife and kids could carry changes of clothes and their own water and a little food.
@@hk-4714 I don't think people can make it very far to bugout. It really needs to be within a few hours walk from the road.
What does anyone think about color blue for pack? I have seen side by side at night time light. It does blend with the background better than black. Come to think of it, survivor lilly had a blue pack on the trip her and candadian prepper took.
Statement: Black actually stands out more than you would think at night-time. A far superior choice if you are considering stealth would be a dark blue or navy blue or even olive drab. Olive drab, or a camouflaged version with OD green, would be superior to the typical "tactical black."
Of course, you have to tailor yourself to the environment and what the pack is being used for. A black pack will not stand out as much in a city, where a camouflaged one will. The reverse is also true.
There is no real "one size fits all" solution. You have to prioritize what you want as the primary factor and that will always come with costs toward other areas.
You're pretty badass CP. Not gonna lie.
One thing people forget water proof trousers the ones that go over regular trousers and a small umbrella
For those asking for cost for everything in the kit he had with back pack it's just around 900$ US. The pack alone is around 300$. I'm not to crazy with the gun being exposed like that though. Not sure if they make a sheath for it. If you are going to go for a large ruck like this I would recommend the Eberlestock Operator Pack. But to each his own.
Is it waterproof ? No one is answering this question in these videos 😔
Solid video CP 👍
Perfect gear! Excellent! Ideal! You realized my thoughts, but very expensive
Good day CP, good video and great to see you and marshal hanging out.⚔. Johnny 1.out
You should look into Mystery Ranch or Eberlestock packs. The features you want are already built into them.
Yes :) i laughed a lot on your review and my wife loved the 'flaps' comments, hehe thanks.
