Hot Weather Wilderness Survival Kit In Your Pants Pockets
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2023
- Theres a big difference between winter survival kits and summer survival kits. Also a big difference in how large a kit is and if youre willing to carry that kit. How about a full kit that you dont have to carry in a pack but all in your pants pockets? Lets explore that possibility.
I can attest to the utility of the mesh hammock. It literally saved my life in 1992. We were at St. Joseph’s peninsula in Florida with a Boy Scout Troop where they were earning their snorkeling badge. August, hot, humid and no potable water. We had carry every drop to where we camped after hiking two miles down the peninsula. We camped on the bay side but hiked over to the Gulf side one day, about a mile through coastal pines and palmettos. I got over heated on the way back. I strung up that mesh hammock in the shade where there was a breeze off of the bay. Having the air able to cool me all over plus having an MRE grape beverage powder with sugar brought me back. Living in coastal Alabama a kit like this is as or more important than a cold weather one. It’s been 100+ here for 13 straight days. Thanks for confirming things I already carry and adding ideas for new ones.
Fantastic to hear you used that Steve! Purist hammock hangers hate them things but they are true piece of hot weather survival gear. If you hadn't had that net hammock and grape powder the outcome would have been vastly different. Thanks for sharing that and thanks for watching Steve
@@MasterOfTheWeirdingWay I suffered a severe heat exhaustion in July 1978 working in an underground pit at a railcar unloading site. The pit was metal lined and exposed to the sun. I was behind the metal walls essentially in an oven. Wood chips were unloaded there’s and the only way to do the cleanup I was doing was with the system running so I could throw material on the running conveyor. With the system running there was steam coming off the chips. Super hot and humid conditions. They had removed the old salt tablet dispensers and electrolyte replacement wasn’t a thing yet. When I went to the medical center (this was a large paper mill) they told me to take a couple of extra breaks and drink more water. When you’re 20 in 1978 and want to keep your job you do as you’re told. My private physician told me I came a whisker from full heat stroke. Took me over 30 years for my hypothalamus to reset and not cause me to be so heat sensitive. On the snorkeling trip due to our location my only option for recovery was back at camp where the hammock was. I didn’t ignore the signs, I knew them all too well 14 years later.
Hi Dave! When you started pulling gear from those britches, it reminded me of my late wife's handbag. I think if I had asked her for a chain saw she would have produced one from that bag! As always, great content. Blessings to you and Nick.
Hello Terry and I know exactly what you mean! It's almost magical what all can be stuffed into a pocketbook. We are glad you liked it and thanks for watching Brother!
My cargo pants are very similar.
Man! So good to see you💯 glad to have you back! In these marketing driven times it is freakin preachious to (still) have guys (oldschoolers) like you who are still standing strong and adding content to the community whitch unique and over all completely selfmade.
Keep on keeping on buddy…wishing all the best from Berlin/Germany.
P.S: greets to the cameraman Nick🫡
3:47 i saw a guy who had a black walnut tree in his garden. He picked up a bunch of the whole fruits piled them in tin bucket kinda thing (but bigger) and started a fire under the container to heat up the water real good. After a while the water became black'ish. Then he puts his grey'ish looking camo stuff into the water and let the stuff in the water for many hours…until it cooled down like cold. Then he washed everything real good…and boy o boy…after that everything (also the nylon parts) turned out in a very nice earthy brown looking camo whitch worked fantastic in the woods.
Sadly I don’t know his TH-cam Channel anymore :(
…just a short tip for this grey'ish looking camo stuff🫡
Thanks and brother I'll always be doing the home school homemade ways of doing things! I'm no marketer, lol. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching
I love that idea! I may try that.
i didn't even know netting coats existed....
@@Jamal_Tyrone If your handy (sort of) with a sewing machine, make your own bug net gear from garage sale, nylon or poly curtain sheers. JAT.
I always appreciate your videos on hot weather. Most survial shows prepare you for cold weather, I enjoy watching those, but it is hot where I live and they don't help me much. ❤
I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful. And how true, most survival methods are cold weather based and yet heat and dehydration can kill a person just as fast. Thanks for watching
Going through such things is a good idea. I walk all over on a regular basis so I have a bag I carry w/ me everywhere. I switch what is in it based on what environmental challenges I could expect to encounter & that way i always have my bare minimums w/ me.
Its always good to be prepared, Thanks for watching JC
It is a good thing to think outside the box. Just like your vest or jacket now the pants.
I would say It is up to weather on what can be useful.
People need to understand what you are showing is what is Possible to carry and how to carry. Great video Dave
Very well said Scott and thanks for watching brother!
Watching this from "the driest state on the driest continent", particularly relevant! Always awesome content. Thanks Dave.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! If it's hot and dry there this definitely applies!
I am 54 and I would have loved to he an uncle or a neighbor like you ❤
I sometimes think outside the box but not always 😂 you have such a down to earth way of doing things that it is so refreshing to see everything is not lost if you see what I mean
Thanks Jack! Man Im always looking for better more comfortable ways of doing things! Thanks for watching
We're having the coldest, rainiest summer ever here!
Really? It's hot wet and humid here!
There is no such thing as "Too many pockets".
I agree!
NOOooo !! 😜
Helikon MCDU pants have like a dozen. 2 extra cargo pockets on upper leg, and 2 on the shins.
LOL, love it…Army BDU’s had 6 pockets on the pants and 4 more on the shirt. Heaven for me! 😂
Awesome kit!!!! I don't mind stuff in pant pockets, much as I thought I would. Thanks for the "be prepared" reminder....one can never hear that enough. 👍😎🇨🇦👖🗡
Great information great video Dave
Thanks Dean! I'm glad you liked it
Good video Dave...great kit. When I first saw the notification was like, no way is he going into the woods in this heat. It has been so hot and dry here in Louisiana I hardly go outside. I love that Grabber hat....too bad they quit making it. You pretty much covered it all and I can't believe how well it all packs down.
Thanks Wayne! I'm glad you liked it. I've heard parts of Lousiana have stayed over 100F for days! Someone else is making those hats but I'm not sure of the name. Thanks for watching
The net alone, with top and bottom opening(s) can be found. It fits over any fav'd field hat of choice.
Amazing! You packed everything into your pants, including the kitchen sink. . . Exploring the possibilities was informative. Your video was thoughtfully created, not to mention i love seeing how your gear room is continuously growing, as are your innovative ideas!
Thank you, Dave. Enjoy your weeks end & stay cool 😎
Thanks and Im glad you liked it. Its amazing what all can be put into10 pockets! Thanks for watching
Great video. For those with a Mylar blanket with orange backing in their kit. The blankets can still be used. Set it up with the reflective side facing up and it will reflect heat away from you
Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching Luke!
Good morning Mr. Peterson, I was just thinking about you yesterday.
Good morning Marsha and good to hear from you
Another awesome vid, Dave! One thing I might add: Do not, I repeat, do NOT wear any type of cargo pants to a music concert or the table next to their metal detectors / frisk area will look exactly like your table did when you were pulling all of your survival stuff out of your pockets, with many groans from the people behind you! Pockets always end up getting filled no matter how hard you try not to fill them! Ask me how I know this...
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Lol, very good advice on concert protocol!
Great video with lots of well thought out planning. I particularly like this topic, since I'm in south Florida and heat and bugs are the majority of the year here. The only thing I disagreed with here is the importance of fire for any survival situation. It might not be needed for warmth, but it is the best way to signal a position at night or during the day if you make it smoky. A smoky fire also runs off the bugs and keeps bigger critters away from your immediate area. I have a life straw with the bag in my pack, but I still carry a stainless water bottle to boil water. Fire is a great source of comfort, almost like a companion if you are alone, and it gives you something to focus on to keep your mind from going the wrong way in a bad situation. Then again, I may just be a pyromaniac.
I did include a fire kit. It is important but to me should be avoided in extreme heat situations unless absolutely necessary. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching
There's always a moment in your videos Dave where you say something that just cracks me up, where it's intentional or not I can never tell - the first one came at 5:49😂
This is the work of a man who is *always* looking to figure stuff out and make things a little bit better, with that real crazy/genius energy, again I can never tell which one it is. Love it.
Lol, what can I say, I'm always thinking and dreaming! Thanks for watching
First time I’ve ever been first for anything. Other than being the first born. I know this gonna be worth getting up for.
Sounds good to me Timothy!
I love big pockets. I can never find real military pants, but I make do with what I have. When we go hiking, my pockets are always loaded with essentials. Like you said, it's better to be prepared. You gave me some new ideas to play around with. Thank you for another excellent video! BTW, I know it's early days yet, but do you reckon you'll make another campfire ghost video this Halloween? Those are always fun to watch. Enjoy your weekend. ~Hollie
Hello Hollie! These pants are pretty much always at flea markets, thrift stores, yard sales and sometimes estate sales. I have no idea what Ill do for Halloween but, it might just be stories if I can find some good real ones. Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Here in Puerto Rico we find real camouflage new military pants in the flea markets. People buy them to use them here in our so called “jungle” with a real machete to clear the jungle land to grow bananas and fruit trees. It’s tropical hot here and we wear them to work outside in our jungle farm land. They’re lightweight and cool to wear. Of course we spray ourselves down with especially the boots to prevent stepping on fire ants mole hills! We carry bottle spray in the cargo pants plus water thermos full of ice cube packed water; and gloves and cold wet water bandana around our neck to cool us down.
My hubby is very handy with the machete here he can knock down anything that is growing to clear land.
Later I would find all that stuff in my dryer, because I forgot to check my pants pockets before washing them 😂
DOH!😂
Lol! Well that would test the durability of the gear wouldn't it?
In the 50 minutes I watched, you went from 2064 to 2210. Well done!
Thank you Nick!
Now that fall is commin soon, no reason why not to split up the kit between the pants and the jacket. Great video again Dave.
Good point John! I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
Greetings Dave ❤ great topic!
Greetings and thanks!
I had to watch this a few times before commenting. I am in NE Kansas and plenty of hot weather with humidity half the time. Heaven help me if I get stuck in a survival situation. It's been a couple of years since I made a survival kit for my SUV. I have been happy ever since. This video makes me feel more comfortable and confident in the face of trouble. Thanks brother.
Sounds great to us!
Great video as always Dave! 👍 Your thoroughness when demonstrating/discussing topics like this is much appreciated man. You not only show what's in your kit/s, but explain why and the possible uses for it all. Provides a lot of food for thought. And of course your humor, delivery, and keeping it all interesting and entertaining is a major plus 👍 Thanks for all you do my Brother!
As always, thanks Brother John! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Always a pleasure my Brother... always a pleasure! 👍
Thanks Dave. I appreciate your videos.
You are very welcome and I'm glad you liked it!
To quote Gomer Pyle...Shazzam! I was astounded all that kit went in a pair of pants. I gotta find a bug shirt and a pop-up hat, I have everything else. I think it would be less stressful out in the heat away from the bugs.
Lol, Im glad you liked it. Amazing what all can fit in when separated by 10 different pockets. Thanks for watching
I have worn cargo trousers, or pants, as they say in your country, as long as I can remember, and always used knee pads...I never once thought of changing this to a tarp or other equipment!!!😮. What a superb idea. Thinking out of the box, as you say, is definitely the right way to go! This video was great for me as it showed a different way to carry equipment without having to use a backpack or bag which I don't like doing in general everyday activities. Absolutely excellent and am now sorting out what to carry from my gear. Many thanks for yet another inspiring video. Please continue to think out of the box....👍👍👍😁. Well impressed!
I'm glad you liked it and found it helpful! All new ideas come from out of the box thinking. Thanks for watching Spencer
I don't have any cool camo cargo pants, but, you've certainly got me rethinking my summer bag pack😮
Excellent video as always!
Fantastic to hear that Katie! Thanks for watching
Another great video full of info and tipbits, thanks ;)
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it
Hey David long time watching f 2014 slow time learner I remember in the 60s heading out with a canteen some jerky and a bed roll , well thanks to your vids I am more comfy and save a lot of wasted effort. I am not a summer time camper living in Florida I find it hard to sit next to camp fire when i its 93 degrees . Did not get much time to camp last year knee needed a tune up but I have dedicated this fall /winter to go and do as much as I can and just want to say thanks for pointing me in the better direction , me and my pup appreciate it be safe!
I'm glad you like the videos and they have helped out! Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching Mr. Otis!
Always cracks us up how much stuff you got. More pockets the better we think. You come up with some great ideas. 😁😁😁😄😄😄😄
Lol, I'm always thinking. Thanks for watching Michelle!
Dress accordingly to the weather in your area and prepare accordingly the weather and remember one is cero 2is one thank you very much for all the excellent explanation David
Very well said Lewis and Thanks for watching
I love how thorough and detailed you are. Please keep up the good work on the videos.
Thank you Jerome!
Great kit assembly Sir! Very logical and practical. Always appreciate your well thought out tips, tricks, and advice. Thanks for sharing with us!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it all and thanks for watching brother!
You're a black belt Dave in the craft of preparedness.
Many thanks for your efforts.
I have a combo survival kit made from leggings (pants) + a shooting vest with lots of pockets. The shooting vest has a mesh back, so I can't get too hot. I have both as a complete kit in my vehicle, equivalent as a get home bag.
In the winter I could add a hip bag to allow for extra insulation gear. It's easy to travel, climb, traverse ground this way.
Thanks Colin and man that sounds like a good set up!
I always enjoy your videos Dave, plenty of ideas! My personal survival kit is predicated on a system I was taught during my escape and evasion training and is meant to take advantage of the time I have to put the kit together. The term used is a "run suit", and its designed exactly for that, it's in case you are fired upon and have to leave your kit and run. The pockets are filled with minimal or small items that will not be bulky in any way and the idea is that you never use the items during normal everyday activities, they are only there should you need to run. I have also sewn a huge pocket to the inside of my jacket with the entrance at the top. It is important to sew a cord of some sort across the opening as you can "hang" your tarp in there without it sliding down and bunching up. Keep the ideas coming, great show.
I'm glad you liked it Kevin and thanks for the comments! I've never heard that term run kit but it's definitely makes sense. Thanks for watching
Some really great ideas. Thanks for the video Dave. My family and i really enjoy watching. 👍
Fantastic to hear that and Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Ian
Weather ur videos are 5 mins or an hour. There great to watch. U keep it interesting n knowledgeable in a way only u can do it Dave. I do have a kit in the pockets of m u jacket for winter. N really haven't thought about summer yet . I've just started in this survival stuff about a year ago. N started with back packs n evoled to mini kits . N minimalist kits. So this will b my first summer doing this. But the great thing about learning from you is that u fabricate alot n gives me so many ideas of what to do or how to start. I've got a bunch ofmini sil nylon tarp myself. I'm not sure on size of my smallest ones but they fit in a emerges bivy pouch . N then I have a bigger ones.i really appreciate ur videos.
Thank you Marcus! There's definitely a huge difference in winter kits and summer kits. Make them and camp with them and you'll find out what all you really need. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching brother
Oh, Lord, as He knows - the old fatigue pants made me happy when they came out with the lighter rip stop!!! Tried some of these in W. Tex. Love the things you are saying! Years back in VA spent some nights near the James river. Those skeeters bit through the sleeping bag - didn't worry about suffocating. Never slept however many days it was! had no nets back then! Nets, yes!!! Great bug hat! You have a store there! I hope folks take you seriously about this kit - like the sack, and such. Been stung by scorpions twice. I the south securing yourself if not the ground is essential! 'Course, then I immediately have to pee... Southwest deserts - mountains CAN be a little different - Trauma - 'cause Im down if I'm in trouble, shelter 'cause first shock and sun, then signals. Even before water. might not find or be abler to hunt water. I NEED to be found in two days. Three is miracle territory. [Smiley face goes here]. Carry on. Good stuff.
A lot of this stuff is only understood by those that have been around serious heat and humidity. I can tell by your comment you have! Thanks for the input and thanks for watching Joseph!
I said it before.but this is even more important because most only hike or camp in the hot summer,,then complain that they were too hot ot too cold....you make them think.....good job brother......,!!!!!
Thank you sir! I say always think about what the actual conditions will be when you go out. Thanks for watching brother
Love the gear room bigmonkey amazing MC hammer pants peace and love from 1 leg UK England
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it
I ĥave a tactical/survival vest that carries a lot of stuff combined with a camel bladder backpack. I love your mancave gear room. Wish I had room for one.
That was fun and made me think about possibilities. I couldn’t believe how you got all that gear in the pants. The knee pad pockets were a great resource.
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Yep, anything soft can be perfect for them knee pad pockets. Thanks for watching
AWESOME video! It's over-flowing with excellent, one-of-a-kind ideas and innovations. And best of all it offers an example of a great way to think on the topic. Thanks for sharing such valuable information.
You are very welcome and I'm glad you liked it that much! Thanks for watching
Loved pockets since before I can remember. Helpful to have a haversack. I’m over summer. It’s my least favorite time of year. I don’t like sunny and hot at all. Part of why I only go out at night. 🐸🍺🔪🔥
Sounds just like me Johnny! I hate hot weather. Thanks for watching
Great video Dave, appreciate your gear room videos as much as the outdoor videos. The complete bug protection suit looks funny it made me smile (like a survivalist scarecrow?) but I can tell it will work. Take care!
Thanks Andy, I'm glad you liked it. Lol, it looked odd but sure does work! Thanks for watching brother
Glad you're here talking about this. Pockets are so so helpful always ❤
I'm glad you liked it Linda and thanks for watching!
For the lady folk who wear a behive hairdo, I suppose they could put a few items inside their hair...🤣 I use a product called Frog Tog that hangs on the neck to help keep you cool. Great video, Dave! Have a great weekend. ✌️🇺🇸
Lol! Let's bring beehives back. I'm glad you liked it, thanks for watching and you have a great weekend too!
You are so funny! You always find a way to make us laugh! While watching you wrestle into that bag, and cinch yourself up, I could imagine you trying to run from a bear in it! But all good ways for protection from the elements! I thought of the pants idea, as well as vests made that way! I have been planning on sewing pockets from my late husbands old clothes to some jeans or something when I get my sewing machine fixed.
Thanks, Im glad you like the way I do things! Oh I have other ways of avoiding bears and thin bags aint one of them, Lol. I think any pants can have pockets added to them. Thanks for watching
😆@@Reallybigmonkey1 😆I agree, I have all kinds of pockets already made with buttons, velcro, zippers, all kinds from my husbands clothes when he passed, probably enough for a few pairs of pants, and or vests! You ought to do a video of what you would do if you encountered a bear while sleeping! That should be fun and interesting!😁
@@pueblodove Good idea for a video!
Cool selection there Dave. Informative as always.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!
Great video. A close friend who passed few years ago and I used to do cargo short camping to challenge each other. We only were allowed to bring items that fit in our cargo shorts or pants and carry 1 item. Definitely makes you consider what's needed and whats unnecessary.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I'm sorry to hear about your friend but it sounds like y'all had fun! Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching
RBM us GA boys know how to kick it in the sticks!! Been watching you for years son!! Always good stuff!! I feel like we're brothers,,,, too much gear,knifes, machetes,tents,H2O devices,camo,10c's and bang,bang, lol! Great video buddy! And we can NEVER have too much gear!
You sound exactly like my brother! Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching Ryan!
You always have some great ideas. An now I will never look at my camo pants the same again. Great video sir. Stay safe an healthy.
Thanks Matt! I'm happy you liked it and thanks for watching brother
we can always count on you for interesting vids. thanks for uploading.
Fantastic to hear that! Thanks for watching
Excellent ideas, sir. I need to make me a survival scarf. Great piece of gear.
Thanks brother Jim! I'm glad you liked it. Those survival scarves have a lot of different uses. Thanks for watching brother
THANKS CHEF DAVE I LOVE MY INSTANT COFFEE & VIENNA SAUSAGE & A FORK & SPOON TOO ADD. 😃👍
You are very welcome Mark and Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Another great video. Informative and educational. It is nice to see it all broken down to the essentials with explanations. It can be difficult to find ladies' pants with decent sized pockets... but I can take the ideas and use them however they work for me which is something else I like about your content. Thanks Dave!
Thanks Rachelle! I'm glad you liked it. Yep, plenty of ideas here, another idea is possibly adding large pockets to some pants?
Loved the Dave Caterpillar part, lol. Awesome video, thanks. Have a great weekend.
Lol, Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and you have a great weekend too Gigi!
Just a little tip for my fellow outdoorsmen: regarding the Sawyer squeeze, another option (instead of force filters) is to prefilter your water through a Milbank bag before running it through the Sawyer, it will greatly enhance the life of the Sawyer. Besides, the Milbank bag can be repurposed for many other things and weighs practically nothing. For example, it can be used to gather tinder or wild edibles with it walking distance if your camp.
Good point. For those that don't have a milbank bag then at least prefilter really dirty water through any kind of cloth to get the sediments out
Great video, Dave. You are currently in the best place to do a video with the weather this summer.
Here in North Central Texas we just hit 109 yesterday and forecast for hotter today and through the weekend.
You're correct on the first thing you need is a workin brain. THINK about what you're doing, what you need, and go from there. Again correct, better to have it and not need than need and not have it. Sound sage advice.
I really appreciate your videos, and enjoy watching all of em.
Ya'll stay cool as you can out there.
God bless you and your family and stay safe on your travels doing these videos.
The 1st time that I ever heard that phrase concerning needs and when was from Dad about 45yrs ago. He’s a Marine until the day he died. But that’s often said about Uncle Sams Misguided Children, USMC 😊 🫡
Thanks Brian! I'm happy you liked it. 109F sounds like pure misery! I can't remember it even getting that hot in Georgia ever! Stay cool and thanks for watching brother
I always learn something from you. I Praise The Lord for you Sir. Thank You So much.!
Fantastic to hear that Bruce! Thanks for watching and may God bless you Brother
Awesome video Dave, I don't remember the last time I didn't wear cargo pants. I carry a lot of the items every day, and when I go hiking I add extra just in case. Cheers brother 🇨🇦
Thanks Bruce! I'm glad you liked it. I pretty much wear cargo pants too every time I go out. Take care and thanks for watching brother
Good Evening Dave ! Another Great One ! Have a great weekend. TAKE CARE..
Hello and Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and you have a great weekend too!
Dave man, up until now I haven't really been thinking much about your pants or what's in them.😆 Should have known there'd be survival gear in em' hahaha. Great video, as always sparks new ideas. Thanks for sharing your time with me.
Lol! Kinda like what's in your wallet vs. What's in your pockets? Thanks for watching my friend
You got everything in those pants plus the kitchen sink!
Lol, I actually did! Thanks for watching Mark!
I have to have lots of pockets and military surplus BDU is all I wear, spring thru summer plus a boonie hat. I really liked that kitchen, gonna shops around for one of those. I have a pair of those OCP pants and did not know bout those knee pockets! Just put together a pocket kit using a light weight waterproof roll down snug pak bag, fits just right in my BDU pocket holding my essential gear, I also use my other pockets. I have a fire kit in a tin just like yours, first aid kit with a quick clot dressing in it, I also have duct tape lighter with chapstick, I use my saw from my SAN or muti tool, also chain from a chainsaw with handles, it packs up real small, I do like to carry a machete but a short one, recently purchased the Old Hickory 9” machete, really like it, nice and light weight for hiking. Then I carry a belt knife with bout 4-5 inch blade, I believe that headlamp lite is a must, I use a small one, I have one of those towels, their great. Also a light weight poncho. I have a head net to, really enjoyed this video Dave, keep ‘‘em coming brother
Its very hard to beat BDU pants with their durability and pocket space. Not many know about the knee pad pockets, great place for soft gear. I love the sound of your kit! Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Alan
One thing I would like in survival pants is to make them convertible. For hot weather I would convert them from long pants to shorts. But I wouldn’t stop there. I would sew in drawstrings top and bottom. Now I’ve converted the bottom sections of the legs into two large carry bags on the fly. Add an attachment point in the bottom and top so that I could attach an old luggage strap to them. Now if I come across a resource in the wild I’ve got a great way of carrying it around. In hot weather survival we’ve got to keep in mind that NOAA puts out when they post a hot weather warning. You should wear clothing that’s light weight, lose fitting, and light colored. Anytime during the summer in the Deep South you should have the mindset that the heat index is going to be from 110 or better.
That's a great idea!
Great show Dave. Thank you.
I hope you have a great weekend.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it and I hope you have a great weekend too!
Once again Dave, another well thought out and thorough kit, thank you.
As you said, people can add or take away from it. For me, being in the big and tall section, it’s hard finding cargo pants, lol. Also, I don’t know if I’d want to carry that much stuff in my pockets, I’d feel and look like Bozo the clown, so I just use a Maxpedition sling bag.
Thanks, Im glad you liked it Michael. Like I said at the end of the video, this is way more than a kit and I cant see anyone carrying all these items. Pick and choose which ones will be needed the most.
Many good ideas there my friend. Also wanted to wish you a happy birthday 🎁. Take care and stay healthy.
Thanks for stopping by and a huge thank you for remembering my birthday! Always great to hear from you Ulrica and thanks for watching
You forgot the BUTTER!!, great Video Dave, thanks for the share.
Lol, but that's a firestarter. Too hot for fire. Thanks for watching brother.
This is going to be good. Sorry I’m late brother. As always your videos have something new a person can learn or think about when preparing. Your full of wisdom brother!
At the end of the video, you made a statement about not having much of a fire in summer time. This is what I thought of that will probably make you laugh. For instance, in different forests , they don’t let you make a fire during certain times of the year. I was just thinking if you were in California & you were lost and you wanted to be found in the mountains. You just simply need to get a good campfire going and you’ll have your self found in no time flat. Once you are rescued and back at home, you’ll probably get a big fat bill in the form of a fine in the mailbox within a week from California for violating the no campfire ban. Lol.
Thanks brother and I'm glad you liked it. Lol, you're right, you'd get rescued but get a huge fine! Thanks for watching brother
Thank YOU.... Information and your experience... From North East Georgia Mountains.. From your friends Robert and Harley ( The Mountain Dog ).
You are very welcome Robert and thanks for watching brother!
Mt man here from the smokies 👍👍 good job keep up the good work yes been really hot here fleas r bad this year yellow jacket nest in the ground again this year means cold weather this winter 🥶 stay safe dry and cool
Im glad you liked it. With this heat the fleas and ticks are horrible! Thanks for watching
Really cool🙂 I really like that no see um shirt. I live in the wetlands on the South Carolina coast. I always bring my Hennessy hammock. Also carabiner fans for the ridge line inside.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I'd love ridgeline fans in this weather!
Hi, great, I like that “kitchen sink”, thanks, regards, Mike
Thanks Mike! I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching brother
Your gear room is AMAZING! 😍😍😍
Thank you Brenda! I love hanging out down there!
Sweet a new RBM1 video! Thanks in advance for your work and have a great weekend!
You are very welcome and thanks for watching!
Outstanding video as usual Dave, some great ideas
Thanks Peter! I'm glad you liked it brother
Damn, you really did fit everything including the kitchen sink 😁
Lol, I did! Thanks for watching Annie!
The really good videos keep coming! I found a large brimmed cap with netting at a garage sale and snapped it right up! Having seen your hat in previous videos I knew I had to get it. Greeting from Michigan. Supposed to be near 90 next couple of days. Ardah
Hello Ardah and I'm glad you liked it! That's fantastic you found that hat. That alone can turn a miserable situation into a good one. Take care and thanks for watching
Great tip on the super pocketed ACU BDUs . Tarpage for knee pads is a fantastic idea . I like to ride a motorbike on the trails , I'm going to upgrade . My local military collectable shop has oodles of those trousers and $5. mesh molle vests in coyote . Sweat right thru the mesh , no wet spots to chill .
I'm glad you liked it Kenny and man 5 bucks for these is the cheapest I've ever heard of! I guess this camo pattern is so unpopular the gear is cheap. Thanks for watching
The US military gear is almost bomb proof and last years "fashion" gets dumped on the surplus market , sometimes very cheep . It took me over 30 years to wear out some woodland BDUs .@@Reallybigmonkey1
Man I watch all your videos , you have a lot of good information.
Thank you Chuck and thats great to hear that!
Dave your a wealth of information but I really love the gear you come up with.
Gotta say being from Maryland when I moved to Florida. When I went into the wild I always carried a bag. Depending on what we were doing would dictate what day we took. I have a shoulder medic type bag. But most likely a camelback day pack.
Many don’t know water isn’t enough in hot humid climate. Nowadays they make Pedialyte tablets to add to water. Another great thing is beef jerky. I’m 54 I go back to the salt tablet days.
Bugs do make life miserable. Let me also tell you about the water filter I’ve found. It’s called memory solution. It’s a 6liter bag hose an filter. What makes it useful is it’s able to be rebuilt. It also has charcoal filters. It saves you from having to buy a whole new setup. It’s on Amazon. I love it.
Another great video
Thanks for the info! I'll look up that filter, it sounds fantastic. I'm glad you liked it and thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 your videos are always worth watching. Have a good one.
@@richardhenry1969 Thanks!
Love Friday’s when I hear - “hey everybody”
Yes, your kit (as shown) is overkill, but having options is great. It seems like we have two seasons, hot/dry (burn bans) and rain with occasional snow. All kidding aside, know before you go, plan for the worst hope for the best. Always let someone know where you’re going and when you’re coming back. I think you could save weight by leaving the Silky saw and multitool, and bringing a SAK with a saw, probably not going to need it but you know the saying.
I was thinking about you last night and thought it was time to make the steamed cheeseburger. (yum, yum 😂)
Take care my friend and stay safe.
I more than likely wouldn't bring this entire kit all at once but I figured I'd show all of it to give everyone idea and options. Enjoy the steamed cheese burger and thanks for watching!
Thanks Dave for yet another awesome video. 😁👍
You are very welcome and I'm happy you liked it!
As a former firefighter/EMT and Search and Rescue member, I've always suggested a person carry an emergency space blanket even in summer, as when placed shiny side OUT, and positioned between an injured, sick, or "surival-situation" person and the hot sun, it can provide life-saving SHADE, when natural shade is insufficient or not available. (helped save my husband's life that way, when he suffered VERY serious injuries/trauma on hot pavement in full sun) I was glad to see you include a packet of electrolyte/hydration mix as well. Carrying TWO packets, or similar products like the electrolyte drink tabs that can also be added to a water bottle/canteen could be a huge benefit, especially for those prone to cramping. :D Nice video! :D As you indicated, survival gear can't help you if you don't have it with you, so alternate methods of carrying them is timely and helpful! :D
Thanks for the info Heidi and Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Hi Dave😊 thanks for another interesting video mate, this was great thinking outside the box ideas for carrying items , at least you didn't appear to have anything hard and heavy banging against your legs, which I've always found annoying,and painful when walking. The kit you selected covered most things vital for the given situation, a couple of useful items I would add would be a small mirror, and good tweezers, and a few wet wipes to clean up whith, also if you need daily med's, take at least 3days supply whith you. Cheers Dave , sounds pretty hot where you are , stay cool mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Hello Stuart and I'm glad you liked it! Nothing too hard or heavy needs to be in a pockets kit like this but I think whats in here will cover most everything. It's extremely hot here right now. Take care and thanks for watching
Yep, everyone has their own way of doing whatever. I like being prepared.
Very well said! Thanks for watching Tressa
Great ideas and Happy Birthday!!
Thanks!!! I'm 56 now
Great thinking Dave as usual! I have a couple suggestions as usual...A wet bandana goes a long way when wet, cooling you off. Also a Thermocell would fit in a pocket and would keep you from getting eaten alive but the main thing I wanted to suggest is a Shannon's Bug Tamer Jacket and gloves. They work way better than single net jackets and... You can dip it in the creek and put it back on for a swamp cooler sensation. I've been wearing Shannon's for many years bowhunting in Florida it is my Go to along with Permethrin treated clothes. I prefer a fabric hammock, barely bigger than your net, that can also be treated with Permethrin or they'll bite your back and butt and you'll look like you got bird shotted! Love your show man .
Thanks Randy, Im glad you liked it. I havent heard of that shannons product, Ill have to look into that.Thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I couldn't bowhunting without it. They have parkas, pants and mittens.
@@Reallybigmonkey1 Shannon's is the key word, except no imitations it's the Cadillac of bug suits
Hello Dave. This was a wonderful video. Even way up here in Nova Scotia, it has been a very hot, muggy and buggy summer. I love it when I learn something from a video, and I always learn something from one of yours. All the best to you and Nick. Take care, Ben
Hello Ben! Always great to hear from you. Man I'm shocked to hear it's hot and muggy. As far north as you are l figured it was always cool. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching
As always, your show is very educational, logical and functional. We will try out your kit & give it a field test when it's summertime in Australia. Mum & Dad encouraged us to go outdoors and enjoy what's given by mother nature. We love doing bushcraft & survival procedures, it strengthen our mind, body & soul even though where we live there are poisonous snakes & spiders. What doesn't kill you, make you stronger and what would really kill you, makes you more aware of your surroundings. We have learned so much from watching your vids & also Mors Kochanski ( a legend's quote - The more you know, the less you carry. ). Thank you Mr. Reallybigmonkey1 & a big hug for Nick too. Cheers from Australia.
Fantastic to hear that my friend! We are glad you liked it and thanks for watching

Brother, you had 2064 views in 7 hours. That's just crazy, well done!!!
That definitely makes me happy!
Excellent video sir! I subscribed because of it.
I especially liked the reflected mesh vest idea. Great if the car breaks down and you need to be seen changing a tire.
I'm glad you liked it Sarita! Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching
