- Come join me on the haversack survival overnight! It is time to put the new Haversack load-out to the test. Little did I know that I would be tested as well as I hike into the Ohio back country and end up spending a cold night on the ground. The air was cold but the food was great and the scenery was beautiful! Total base weight on the haversack is 14 lbs not counting the water weight, snacks and the wool blanket.

Thank you so much for watching! Please leave your comments in the comment section below. I really do appreciate your feedback. Until next time...
I went to High School over in Wilmington Oh.,lived in the Hillsboro for several years.I spent years playing and doing what we now call "Bushcraft" in the Woods and Creek Banks in those Eastern Woodlands..Great to see you out there in Familiar Territory..Keep up the Good work.
Question for the day: what is a hammock camper without an under quilt and a top quilt? A man with a cold backsides and filled with regret. LOL Nice fire...well done.
Thank you!
@@WayPointSurvivalA ground cloth!
‘Tain’t necessarily so. I put a Ridgerest closed cell pad in my hammock and was comfortable. Under quilts never worked for me at all.

Well, you are a tougher man than I am. After getting discharged from the Army in 1972, I did my share of winter "camping" in my "hobo and hitchhiking" phase, but I had a down filled sleeping bag. Just an Army blanket would not have been my cup-o-tea.
Your dinner looked pretty tasty. I really liked the size of the fire. It created a real atmosphere I felt clear to Missouri watching it burn.
You vaguely alluded to it at the end of this one, but I often wonder how many folks understand and appreciate all the work and energy expended in taking "walk away" shots. A couple vids back that I watched of yours, you crossed a creek going away. You had to cross that fallen tree over the water no less than 4 times to get the shot for the video. It is that extra work in production, and also the efforts in post-production, such as editing music into scenes while you are doing camp tasks that makes an interesting video. I, for one, appreciate all that extra effort you give.
Maybe being in my late 60's has something to do with it, but the fact that you wear your cap "bill-forward" impresses me. Drives me nut these guys wearing them backwards out in the woods. If you ain't welding or a MLB catcher, I can't come up with much reason to wear them backwards. Just a pitiful pet peeve of mine.
I have not watched ALL of your videos--although, I' tryin'--but so far, it seems that you and I have at least one thing in common; not coffee drinkers. Hot chocolate and Kool-Aid were mentioned in this one and in others, Hot chocolate. My Mom and brother would drink coffee by the pot every day. I truly feel safe in saying I don't think I have drunk a pot of coffee in my entire lifetime. And so it goes.
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I can't really pinpoint just what it is that sets you out for me compared to others. Gotta be a combination of your enthusiasm, and not coming across like you know everything and are trying to cram it at us.
Anyway, sorry to be so long-winded, but I want you to know your videos--and YOU--are appreciated. Thank you.
Keep breathin'.
Thank you so much for all the kind words! I do occasionally drink coffee but it isn't my hot drink of choice. It is also a diuretic which can be a problem at night when you're trying to sleep. Also, thank you for noticing all the extra effort it takes to try to make a quality video. I am still learning a lot about the process and I am continually trying to improve in that area. I never want to come across as a "Know-it-all" as I feel that I am forever a student of survival and bushcraft. There are often several effective ways to get something done in the back country and many times one works as well as the other. Thank you for all the views on my channel and for all the time you have spent watching the videos!
Coming to watch the video in 2024 and I appreciate your comment and am enjoying the content.
Thankyou
Could have gotten the point in two words…. Just saying 😊
Take a military poncho liner, attach a SOL mylar double sized heat sheet to it, by putting some clear packaging tape in key spots and Safety pin it to the liner. Add some small grommets to the shorter top and bottom edge of the liner and with some elastic cord added to each corner secure the poncho liner under quilt to your hammock hang line. in the remaining grommets run para cord to cinch each end closed as needed and you will have a warm under quilt that weighs ounces. The mylar liner is a great over quilt or blanket as well. The SOL is highly reflective and tear resistant and less noisy.
Great ideas, thank you for sharing them. And, thank you for watching and commenting!
Great loadout, but for cooler weather I might roll a jungle blanket or woobie to use as an under quilt and see how that works. absolutely love your videos brother, and love how you always bless your food before you eat it....shows that you are a man of God. Keep the Great videos coming, and may God continue to bless you.
Thank you so much. I do have a woobie and that is a great suggestion, thanks.
I really enjoyed this video. I was wondering if you were constantly setting up the camera and catching shots, then coming back for it or if you had a cameraman. Now I know. Thanks for putting in the double effort to get it on video for us! God Bless!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the video and God bless you too!
Brother that ground will suck the life out of any unlucky one. i slept on several layers of bubble wrap for insulation once on a very cold night many years ago now,but it helped . Well i am still here. BB from the UK
Yes, sometimes the best thing you can do is just get as close to the fire as possible. Glad you're still with us!
Very nice . Not sure where I got the idea Ohio was flat . Thought the white pup in the first of the video was yours . Thought I had seen it in one of your other videos. Anyway have a great evening
Thank you for watching! I didn't bring my dog with me on that particular trip. He usually stays pretty close around the home place.
Great outing James! It was a cold one for sure and I believe we weren't too far apart over the weekend. I know it at least hit that 25 degree F mark. I slept in a hammock overnight but had an under quilt and good bedding. In the mornings there were little icicles under my tarp from breath condensation. I was out there Thurs until Sunday myself. You guys have such a beautiful state there to enjoy in the woods! Take care and keep up the good work brother! Tell James I said hello!
Thanks, brother! I will let him know you said "Hello". Glad you were able to enjoy Ohio for a little while, it really does have some beautiful areas. God bless you all!
cowboy camped many times james , never a great sleep. hammocks are just to cold with out under quilts or pads in that kind of weather . glad you didn't edit out your ground bed , real adventure my friend ..
billy joe
Thank you! I was going to use the wool blanket to lay on in the hammock, but the wind was just too cool and the fire was too inviting...
I liked the lighting. more like reality. at least I've been there and had to do that and more. I just delivered a kid in the barn, and I wish I had as much light as you did.
Another enjoyable video sir. I like all the little tidbits you give us. Thank you :)
Thanks for watching!
Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing another one of your fine videos. I like your haversack set up with the hammock. Perhaps this spring I will experiment with a hammock. I have always used a tent or cowboy camp. You are quite the bushcrafter. Be safe out there and thank you for all the good information. 🤗
Thank you, my friend. I really appreciate your kind words!
I never slept in hammock. I usually use a tarp and sleep on Mother Earth.. It is always amazing how good simple foods taste when you are hungry and out along the trail. I enjoyed the video I have been itching to go out for a overnight trip but been busy hope soon to find the time.
Hope you get to go out soon! Thanks for watching, my friend!
Awesome overnighter! Beautiful area! The beard is looking good brother! James Bearder is the new name! Great video my friend!
Thank you, my friend! - posted by James Bearder
Just found your channel great info definitely gonna sub.......I love my haversack from Malcolm , recently picked up the Roly poly dump pouch from Maxpedition so useful for putting in tinder as your scouting out resourses around camp just my 2 cents lol, now I have to binge watch all ur vids which won't be hard to do nice to see someone giving thanks for a meal, be safe out there James
Thank you so much for watching, for the sub and welcome aboard!
Good job brother. The older I get the more comfort oriented I become. Camping in cold weather is something that would have to be a real emergency for me. But I enjoy watching you do it. BTW have you considered carrying a plastic roll up water container ? Very light weight and takes nearly no space but will save you multiple trips to the creek. Thanks for sharing pal.
Thank you, Chief. I do have one of those roll up containers. Thanks for the suggestion!
Roger on the cold weather camping. I did all that in 1969 and got it out of my system. These days if it's even a little cool you would think I packed for artic weather. I guess I should update my plastic water container. Mine is a 2-gallon, heavier plastic, pleated sides to collapse like an accordion to the size of a large plate and I've used it for at least 12-15 years. It also requires careful cleaning with bleach when I get back home. Like you, this North Texas boy will stick to watching him do the cooler/colder campouts.
Awesome overnight trip! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Thank you!
Looked like a great time to practice/try stuff out. The view is awesome and the sunset is priceless in my books. cool score just under midway thru.
Thank you, my friend!
I do appreciate the way you show the gear in different points of view for us all to see. Grade S education and presentation. Thank you.
Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
If you lower your hammock closer to the ground and mound a thick layer of all them leaves under and around it, I think that would help with the insulation.
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing it! And, thank you for watching and commenting!
BTDT . Nice video , nicer honesty . ..G
Thank you, that means a lot. I do try to keep it real.
Been going back and watching all the videos I haven't seen from years ago and trying to get up to speed watch all your content 😂 you got alot love the content
Wow! Thank you so much. Very few people actually try to watch all my videos!
Excellent video Brother! I just got a haversack and want to try an overnighter using it. Very informative and useful tips!
Thank you, brother! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Excellent presentation, but I have always seen the main use of a haversack, as opposed to a backpack, is that you aren't carrying much more than you would normally need on a few hour excursion, rather than an actual planned overnight trip.
Right. This haversack, however, is versatile enough that it can be used for both.
Sometimes those short excursions turn out to be a little longer. Remember Gilligan's Island ?
I sooooo enjoy your videos Sir!!! Thanks much and blessings to you and your family 😇 🇺🇸
Thank you! May God bless you and yours also!
Great video enjoyed watching nice country also food always tastes better over a fire
Thank you, my friend!
Try the oriental method of fire no cutting of eood. Only feed the ends of wood in. Control fire by how you stack your wood around the fire. n pushing ends in to center as it burns. Works very well. Pull wood back from flame to put it out.. Watch your channel. Alot. Thanks for posting. 72 n still learning.love the woods.
Thanks for your videos and your hacks always a fan here keep up the good work
Thanks so much!
Hi James! LOVE this channel. Your teaching is first rate and your enthusiasim is quite contagious! :-)
Loved this overnighter! Makes me want to move north! And I loved the 1800s sepia series. Any plans to add more episodes?
Also love how you pray before eating. You're a man whose priorities are in order, methinks.
I have a couple of questions / comments on this vid. When capturing water is it not better to point the container's mouth away from the water flow rather than towards it? It'd bypass possible "nasties" getting into the container, right? Also, speaking of which, your loadout video showed a bladder of some kind and also the big drum liners - if you're going to trek to gather water then perhaps a larger container (that you already had in your kit) would've been better? You'd also have some for breakfast and putting the fire out, too, I think?
Regardless, LOVE this channel. Only just found you and so am going through the back catalogue. Apologies in advance if I comment on a video that's a thousand years old! :-)
Finally (!) jonesey is right - setting up those shots and walking those paths oh so many times just for the benefit of us viewers takes time and patience. You don't need to do it, but you do it anyway. Some of us take it for granted (it's TV!) and others really appreciate the effort.
On the walking shots - the camera sees you - we see you - no need to look into the camera is all the advice I'd offer here :-)
Hopefully when all this weirdness settles you'll be opening classes again. I'm definitely interested.
Sorry for the lack of brevity. All the very best to you and yours.
I don't have any plans at this time to do more of the 1800's series, but that may change going forward. Thank you for noticing the giving of thanks before I eat. I always try to do it but there are a couple of vids where I forget... Anyway, I don't really push it at all on my channel, but my faith is the most important part of my life. You can read more about it along with great survival and bushcraft tips on my blog at: waypointsurvival.wordpress.com/
Yes, it is better to point the mouth of the bottle downstream but when I am filming sometimes I forget... Yes, a larger container would be better and in a real survival situation I would have used the drum liner etc. for that purpose. I try not to look into the camera when doing the walking shots, I think I have gotten better at it but it's still a temptation because I am used to looking into the camera when I am teaching a skill or hack. My school is open now as the classes are all outside and social distancing isn't a problem. I would love to have you as a student. You can find the information on my website at waypointsurvival.com/
@@WayPointSurvival Awesome. Thanks so much for your reply!
Checking out the blog now.
I'll definitely be in touch regarding the classes!
Sounds great!
@first last great questions, thank you for asking!
Great video James! I was wondering if you were going to extinguish that fire. You didnt disappoint!
Thanks!
Great video. I am sure glad I have found your channel.
Thanks!
Great overnighter,well done
Thank you!
Carhartt those are good jackets they are nice and warm need to get me one had one once before there again storage unit later
Yes, they are indeed!
Second time watching your channel . The first one I saw was the thrift store survival challenge . i thought it was great. The best thing I liked was all the stuff you got in that tackle box .man there was soooooo much tackle in there for 4 bucks . just love thrift stores
Thanks so much!
Love the concept of the haversack, perfect for mooch or bug out. No tarp tho? Three point pup rig shelter
Yes, there is a tarp. Thanks for watching.
Lol, after watching your video an the other video on contents of your rig, thought I would get a haversack with external pockets. So then looked at what the Aussies called swag men an their rigs, in UK tho would definitely need a tarp because our weather ain't the best lol. The concept tho of a haversack for a weekend or so saves weight an bulk. If put that with a possibles bag, it be surprising what you could carry.
very nice video, such a beautiful landscape and learned a lot! that is quite a fire building kit you have there, you make it look so easy, but I am sure that's just from years of practice. take care
Thanks so much!
It actually is easy. It doesn't take years of practice but just enough to get your preferred methods down pat and a solid foundation of different options. For instance, Where I live, in the desert southwest, you have to buy fatwood if you want to use it. I also keep my fires small as many times fuel can scarce for a roaring campfire. For this reason, I like to carry a small DIY rocket stove (made out of tin cans) to cook on if necessary.
@@edmartin875 thanks for sharing, I appreciate your perspective
Great vid brother. Thumb up
Thank you!
Well. You only lost 1/5 of your water. That’s better than my average. Like everyone else I love the cup/lid combos for cooking but for carrying water they’re a bummer. Hope that wool blanket was at least a six pounder🥶Great video James
Thanks so much for watching!
Looks like a great night, and the stew looked fantastic. Thanks for sharing, I always learn so much. Have any tips or techniques to improvise insulation to make the hammock bearable in cooler weather?
A handful of large safety pins and a military grade poncho liner pinned underneath as an under quilt will help a lot. Thank you so much for watching and for your question!
@@WayPointSurvival My kit has a half dozen safety pins. Handy critters.
Awesome video ! Those Helios straps are from ENO.
Man, you really got to want that cup of cocoa when camping.
Indeed. It is a great help in sleeping at night.
Another great video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks good bro!
Thanks!
YOU MAKE THE BEST N NICEST. PRETTIEST LOOKING CAMP FIRES TO ME. ❤👍😇❤
Thank you!
Great trip. You should come out this way and take a trip with me. Have a great week.
Sounds like fun! Maybe some day we can put that together!
Very educationalTHANKS
Thanks for watching!
Nice one 👍 James I do like video s were you set camp cook good job
Thanks so much!
That fire 🔥was awaome
Thank you!
I'm pretty sure I would have set up camp closer to the water source. Or carried a plastic bag type bottle like a Platypus or similar.
I picked the spot based on the amount of firewood that was available. I knew I would have to walk for one or the other and the firewood was much heavier to carry than the water. So, that's why I chose that particular spot. Thank you for watching and commenting on the video!
Glad you had a toque. No gloves?
Cold it looked. If I get chance this Summer I'm using my urban edc in the forest. I'll probably die lol
I did have some leather gloves in the kit. I just didn't use them. I have pretty good circulation and so my hands rarely get cold, unless I'm handling cold water, snow or ice. Then I will put on gloves. Or if it's truly cold...
In another film a group of people had a plastic wrap tent and they used a metal tube to heat the interior slowly. A person could use a pipe like that, cover the ends with screen to keep bugs out lay it so the middle is passing through your fire, or close to, and theone end pulls fresh cool air and if the pipe's at an upward angle to the other end the air comming out on that other end should be warm, right? Put it so the warm air rises into a bed cover of yours, but keep the warm end away from any plastic coated tarps for safety. Heat self rises, right? (And) The pipe could be rubber capped on one screen end to use for a walking stick🙂.
Hi bro great video
Thanks so much!
knowing he had to prewalk to setup the camera and walk back again lol
Great video. I might have stuffed your garbage bag with leaves to insulate you from the ground. If you mix your hot chocolate with ginger and cinnamon it will act as a vasodilator and help your heart generate more heat.
True. Thank you for watching! Thanks for the tip about the hot chocolate!
thank you for sharing your tips!
You must go to the same area a lot. I’ve seen that big white dog in the back ground quite a few times.
He wasn't in this video. However, I do a lot of videos on my own property and my dog follows me and photo bombs the videos in the background sometimes.
You should try doing a fire like the Native Americans did they barried 2 fresh logs as wet as possible Bury them in the ground upright with a slight angle. 2 logs on each side of the fire. And then you nice round wood dry and you stack it up those fresh cut logs on both sides so as the fire burns the dry logs roll into the fire keeping it burning so you can get a better night's sleep.
Thanks for watching.
Sorry to see that much dead trees in your beautiful landscape.
I don't see the advantage of a small haversack, loaded with a couple of bulky pouches and a wool blanket hanging out half way over a proper backpack, tall enough for your size and with a comfy padded waistbelt. If you had to hike 30, 40 miles or more, your haversack (even with a belt) would give you back issues, cause your body is completely out of balance. With a proper backpack you can spread the weight evenly and lay 80% of it on the waistbelt, with the heavy stuff high near the back and the lightweight stuff low an far out. Just resist the temptation to take a large, bulky pack or adding extra pouches - as a rule of thumb, don't carry more than 10% of your body weight (if you're not special forces, well trained to carry more).
According to your Dyneema tree straps: are you sure, you didn't miss a "0", making it 1,500 lbs breaking strenght - that's what 1"-Dyneema webbing usually is rated for, far superior to paracord and nearly no stretch. If you put it around the tree twice, it's even more gentle to the bark and you don't have to tighten it to prevent it from slipping down.
IMHO survival is about efficiency too - do your woodworking before you set up your tarp, use it to catch all the chips and cut-offs, the sawdust as well, and use it for lighting your fire, no need for extra work to create kindling.
@18:30 - if you have to walk far to get water, IMHO it would be a smart idea to take a collapsable water bag and haul some half gallon, saves you a second run in the morning.
Stay safe and take care
Thank you for watching.
This separates the MEN from the BOYS!!😁✌️💚✊️🔥
Thanks for watching!
I've camped in cold snowy weather. Watching my campfire melt into a 3-foot pit of packed snow is not for me. Count me among the boys.
Love your work .The 1790 series was genius. What handgun do you carry on the 1880 camping series.
Thanks! There is no sidearm in the 1880s series.
where in Ohio are you from and where did you camp at? I lived in Ohio for many years and was curious about the Locales you are using for recreation.Good Vid...Thank You in advance.Grant
A lot of the videos are filmed on my own property in Southern Ohio or close to it. The Haversack Survival Overnight was filmed in the East Fork vicinity.

LUVYA BUDDY👍😇. YOU TEACH ME MORE THINGS ❤
Hey I know where this is! Fish and hunt there all the time!
Excellent. It's a really great location.
Could you possibly do a short on how to find hidden treasures in the woods (that is hidden fat lighter). Some people once told me you could find fat lighter in old pine tree stumps. Is this true?
Yes, it is true.
CarAbiner, carabinEr, cArabiner...makes me chuckle how we say things in English.
Tomato tomato, right? Lol. Thanks for watching!
The straps are probably rated for more like 1300 pounds each.
Thanks for watching.
Where do you go to do your camp and cook what state oh I think you said Ohio. And what wildlife is out where you go.
Lots of wildlife from bear to cougar etc. Thanks for watching.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
So how do you tell if water is safe to drink?
Good question. One way is to make sure you research the area that you are going into and make sure there's no heavy mining and thus heavy metals in the water. The other way is to make sure it hits a good rolling boil before you let it cool and drink it. That will kill most of the pathogens and bacteria that can make you sick.
@@WayPointSurvival Thankyou for your reasoned & usefull reply. All the best.
In Ohio where is that Park
East fork.

Thanks for watching.
You expended to much energy and calories for such a little bit of water ! You would have been better off camping closer to the river !!
No, it was just fine.
Come on dude, use a backpack. haversacks were never used to carry that much stuff. All the other stuff in the video was great. No criticisms on your skills. But, that wasn’t haversack survival it was bush crafting without a backpack. Haversacks have always been food bags, or like a possibles bag.
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment. In explanation, I wanted to show the possibilities of what could be done with the Hidden Woodsman Haversack if you wanted to scale it up.
Go to information but your videos are a little too long should cut out a lot of the walking stuff and get the camping and how to make fires and so forth
Thanks for watching.
I live in Coshocton Ohio what city in Ohio are u in?
I don't give out my specific location on public platforms like TH-cam for security purposes. However, if you want to contact me through my email I can be a little more specific. www.waypointsurvival.com
