Just discovered this video and gotta say… amazing! You’ve got a new subscriber here right away mate! The info is informative, I love the captions/pics for the bits not so easy to see, you’re interesting and easy to listen to… the whole thing is just a winning combo! Off to binge the rest of your videos now 😂
Great to see you back and healthy. Good to see your no nonsense approach to things too, again. A real breath of fresh air. My Grandma always used to say: The bad times are there to show you the true meaning of the good times, helps us to not take them for granted and make the most of them. She also said when you get knocked down, you just got to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get on with it. Hope it's all good times for you, from here on in. Be well, Dave.
@@STIXSURVIVAL I think I missed where you keeping your : #1 ... *Emergency Cash Stash* (minimum 200$) #2 ... *Foot powder care* in the hygiene kit #3 ... *xtra Clothing items* (socks, neck gaiter, underwear, long sleeve undershirt etc) #4 ... *Good Samaritan kit / Barter Items/ trade items* (mini booze, cigerrettes, ) #5 ... *Entertainment items* (book, dice and cards etc) #6 ... *Pet gear* (xtra food , water food bowl, tracker collar, etc) #7 ... *Security kit* (trip wire and alarms & bangers, slingbow, flares, ankle holster for concealed self defense knife or weapon, lock pick kit, wrist bracelets, zipties for detainment, brass knuckles, etc) LOL🤣😂 It's great how much you packed up in a small bag.... *QUESTION :* What is the total weight of your pack , with full water. ????
Several notes on this video. All the following is constructive ! 1. If anyone wants to know how to pack a bag that size, with that amount of gear…rewatch this video and learn.. pure masterclass. Kudos 2. I don’t think I saw one thing in there that did not have value in many ways. Great job! 3. This is a suggestion only. I vacuum seal with an oxygen absorber all my food, then pack in appropriate size round tins. The tins provide structural integrity, the vacuum seal keeps it dry and the addition of an absorber and vacuum sealing keeps items fresh longer.( I do change my foodstuffs out yearly) : note I keep dedicated bags for every member of my family. The vacuum sealed bags after you have used what’s inside can be used in many ways.( fresh bait you collect, tinder gathered along the way, ) 4. Overall great job! I’d take that bag and be perfectly happy to be dropped off just about anywhere!
@@STIXSURVIVAL I started using it to keep pemmican and hard tack free of moisture and now use it for everything! From dehydrated fruits to my gear. It helps decrease space and keeps things waterproof.
Mate it’s good to see your back up and running sorry to hear you had the big C my dad had it in 2 different places but all gone for him hopefully it’s the same for mate so sad
Aye mate I’m all good now. It was throat Cancer and was 18 months of hell but all clear and ready to do all the things I said I would do and then never. Love being back on hear and interacting with you all. It’s a small channel but hopefully get it growing with the help of good people like yourself.
I'm one of those who used to avidly watch your content, and had wondered what had happened for the prolonged Radio Silence, this call sign is pleased to see you've made it back and will watch for more content to come.
Thanks so much it means a lot to me. Glad to be back at it hopefully I can get back up and running again. If you have any ideas that you’d like to see please feel free to help direct.
Great to see you back Mr Mo! Hard to believe it’s nearly 12 years ago that I first saw your channel! Been a long time, glad to hear you’re out the other side. MTFBWY!
Thanks so much for the view and comment. Hopefully, getting another Video uploaded in the next few days which goes deep into the concept of survival food.
Ah man great video I'm going through a lot of stuff myself at the moment and getting back in touch with just being prepared to just not come home that night or go for an adventure. But most of all just spending time doing things I like to do.
Thanks Luke stay positive mate. Life has a way to make you sit up and push the reset button. Go do the things you love that make you feel good. Hopefully, all will be well with you.
Cheers for the view and comment. The bag is a www.flashaholics.co.uk/products/maxpedition-colossus-versipack.html It also has other smaller pouches attached to also from Maxpedition. Depending on needs it might be better to go with a small back pack if you plan on travelling long distance. Hope that helps and I’m more than happy to communicate with you, if you have other questions. Good luck with your new quest once you start it’s hard to stop 😂
Great to see you back stix , And even better news your back on the road to recovery mate 👍 Great little emergency kit as are all your kits. Look forwards to seeing your future vids. But in your own time fella. Main thing is your health first. As a footnote, I'm old skool brought up on tobacco tin style lofty survival kit, carried all thru my time in the military 🪖 now I prefer pouch set ups like yourself, but I'd be interested on your thoughts ( if any ? As I'm sure you come from a similar background as myself ) what you'd carry in a modern take of the trusty rusty survival tin. Once again Great to see you back mate. ATB 👍
Thanks Rob its been a slog but one well worth fighting for. I now truly know what Survival means :) I love the idea of having that kind of kit in my pocket all the time. If you have a look back at my stuff there is some really small kits I've made over the years. Happy to do another one if that's for you. The video quality was not that great before which put me off for a while but yes definitely my thing, in fact that book was what triggered my passion for the outdoors. Thanks for the comments stay safe
@@STIXSURVIVAL I've been following your channel since almost from the beginning, in fact your probably the reason I own so much maxpedition stuff lol.🤦 Anyway that's what I tell the misses 🤫 😂 ( never managed to get myself a sabrecat thou but use a Helikon Tex set up that's similar. Yeah used to watch your early videos on my desk top so picture quality was bang on then but technology moves on all the time so I can understand what you mean. ( Blame your Del computer 👍) Anyway back to survival tin concept, would love to see your take on the baccy tin and contents ? Might be able to start a discussion group on old contents compared to modern items I think that'd be an interesting discussion . But as I said before in your own time fella. Your health's more important. Stay safe mate, ATB Rob 👍
@@Rob-qf2fs Deal. I will get the thinking cap on for that one. Thanks for the support over the years, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how to evolve my channel and the kind of thing’s you’d like to see?
@@STIXSURVIVAL my pleasure mate, and I'll have a scratch of the old noggin and see if I can think up any good ideas 💡. Tbh think your kit load outs are some of the best set ups on here. Unlike some so called 72 hour kits with 3 tins of baked beans, an s10 resi mask, Rambo knife, circus tent and ninja outfit 🤦♂️ ( OK might of exaggerated the ninja outfit, but you get the idea lol ) your kits contain no nonsense hard use practical kit. Tried n tested. So I'd like to see more of those please definitely. 👍 How about a " what 5 bits of kit " would you take sort of get out of dodge double lively scenario 🤔 that's always a toughie lol. But I'll have a think see if I can come up with anything else. Ooh one thing I'd love to see the rest of the installments of your ultimate bug out bag set up, you were working on before you got ill ( airborne bergen set up I recall ? ) But I think that's enough things to think about for now. Just good to see you back and well Again 😊 👍
Here in the USA there are black bear , mountain lions and alligators ! Also two legged predators to be aware of, your very lucky to not have to deal with mosquitos , snakes and ticks . You should hold classes and teach skills in Scottland . Like Dave Canterberry and the pathfinder school here in the USA . You have a great channel .thank you for sharing your knowledge .

Thanks for your comment Dave. Your Gran must have been a wise woman indeed. Hopefully all up hill from here.
I'm glad to hear you're back & healthy! Screw cancer, btw! I missed this when it first came out so I'm delighted to have found it now. Great stuff!
Nice one there are a few on. Thanks again, yeah it sucks but I’m back now and all good just need to shred a few pounds after my steroid binge 😂

Several notes on this video. All the following is constructive !
1. If anyone wants to know how to pack a bag that size, with that amount of gear…rewatch this video and learn.. pure masterclass. Kudos
2. I don’t think I saw one thing in there that did not have value in many ways. Great job!
3. This is a suggestion only. I vacuum seal with an oxygen absorber all my food, then pack in appropriate size round tins. The tins provide structural integrity, the vacuum seal keeps it dry and the addition of an absorber and vacuum sealing keeps items fresh longer.( I do change my foodstuffs out yearly) : note I keep dedicated bags for every member of my family. The vacuum sealed bags after you have used what’s inside can be used in many ways.( fresh bait you collect, tinder gathered along the way, )
4. Overall great job! I’d take that bag and be perfectly happy to be dropped off just about anywhere!
Fantastic words my friend. I’d like to get into the vacuum sealing thing it’s not that big here in the UK yet but I’m very interested.
@@STIXSURVIVAL I started using it to keep pemmican and hard tack free of moisture and now use it for everything! From dehydrated fruits to my gear. It helps decrease space and keeps things waterproof.
