I’m an urban prepper. The concept that a tactical backpack draws unwanted attention over a pack with zero molle is hilarious. Even in the suburbs it isn’t going to matter. We have a 5.11 store right here. Tax bags are common place. Camo as well. If it’s times of desperation and you got a bag & they get froggy the molle or no molle will not be the deciding factor.
I'm a winter camper and backpacker. I live in Minnesota and if ur gonna be outside especially in winter over night on the hike in any situation people are gonna die from the cold. It's crazy how cold it gets and how hard it is to keep ur body warm. And if you camp overnight outside if u don't have hard core gear rated for the weather ur not gonna survive. Ull be seeing the light as u float up. I see people bring a blanket and poncho and astronaut blanket and that will not work not at all. Were talking negative 20 or higher rated sleeping bags with a liner and bivy and 4 season shelters and proper winter clothing. And a fire etc etc. I've spent Alot of time outdoors in a hilleberg tent with gear for winter or cold weather. This needs serious attention. Even one night can kill u quick. Just wanted to address this situation most people don't understand fully. Just trying to help sir. Thankyou.
I totally agree with you that some nights get stupid cold and surviving the night can be difficult.
With that in mind, we have to remember that leaving a vehicle or any situation, where the temp is stupid cold is a last resort.
In almost all situations I would stay with my vehicle and bed down in the bed of the truck with a fire going. it would be a SHTF situation where I leave the vehicle, to walk home in sub zero temps.
Camping and hiking is one thing, survival and last resort is another.
The voice of sanity in this conversation. Someone who routinely covers ground. Love it.
I have to ask, with just a very light pack, maybe a couple liters of water and a couple snacks, how far do you think you could travel in ten hours on foot on paved sidewalks in good weather.
Now, put on a typical get home bag and how far could you travel in ten hours in the same conditions as above.
Next, rain and snow estimates.
ME I used to walk and backpack until about 35 years old. Now 67. Started walking again after retiring. Big dog on a leash, pack for water and emergencies and exercise. over a thousand miles last year.
I figure 2 liters water and snacks on a sidewalk, healthy young guy, 30 miles.
With the moderate backpack on sidewalks 20-22.
Rain gear, light pack, 22-24 miles if excellent rain gear.
Cold weather gear, only medium to heavy pack,13 miles on excellent terrain, but snow and ice on the sidewalks or roads reduces that to 8 to 10 miles.
Are these reasonable estimates to you?
I ask because people have these packs and have expectations, but very few practice.
Last time I winter camped butane cook stove would not stay lit, tank got to cold to evaporate fuel. We heard branches popping from ice in them during the night. Equipment was pad, -20 bag, wool blanket and wool socks and long underwear in a tent. Got maybe 4-6 hours sleep in a night that lasted 16 hours.
@@phild8095 hello good sir! First of all I have to say it really sounds like u know your stuff. Your estimates sound right on. Like on the dot. I take my info from personal experience and thru hiking like the AT or PCT which are trails over 2,000 miles for each one. Their both 6 month trails and that's being measured by distance and what u can hike in an average day ongoing. Basically 30 miles like u said going on down to 12 to 18 for a lower mileage it all depending on physical fitness mixed with type of gear and type of backpack 🎒. I've not really heard of many people going over 30 miles in one day. But I've heard of 30 roughly being done but only when the person really really pushes it. U can pull a 24 hr day no sleep and go too but your gonna crash still and ruin any mileage coming the rest of the next day . But with a good pack, being in decent shape, proper gear, decent food, good amount of water and terrain like a hiking path your gonna do about 12 to 15 and feel like yeah I need to stop for the day and rest and set up camp or shelter. Anything over 15 and that's gonna be like some serious serious rucking. The body can take only so much especially if it's more then one day. If it's only one single day u could go all out and push yourself to fainting with all the same gear and stuff I listed and do 20 some maybe close to 30 but you'd be done for. You'd need to rest for a couple days and recover. I've heard of it done but it's rare and the shape u have to be in is top notch with zero chance of reoccurring injuries. As far as winter camping to stay warm, if I understand you correctly, u said you used a pad. If your cold it's usually the pad your using. I'm not sure if that's what u meant and I'm sorry I'm Soo not trying to preach I just understood it a certain way so I'll say this. Apologies if it's not needed!! But the R value on a pad is the most important thing above all things. You said u had a negative 20 bag and it all sounded proper but u said the word just pad so I'm unsure what kind of pad. If u go out camping in weather where your bringing a negative 20 bag you'll need the sleeping pad to match that number too. A sleeping bag has the temperature rating only if it's also matched by a pad that covers that same temperature as well. So you would need a negative 20 pad also. I have winter a pad that covers my appropriate bag temperature matching the temperature outside and I sleep like a baby for a good 8 10 hrs and never get cold. It's called the R value rating and all pads give one but only some pads are actually true to the number. Their is a test they do that gives the scientific proper R value number but cheaper companies won't do the test they'll just guess at a possible number that might work and they just give it an estimate R value number. Is it legit... usually not. But companies like thermarest, big Agnes, sea to summit, Amok and Nemo and maybe a few others they do some serious testing and r exactly true to the R value rating temp number. If they say it... it's exactly true!! Tho some of the pads are known to have sometimes...some issues with the technology and may get a cold spot. Like sea to summit has had the only issues out of the pads I listed that I know about but still a great pad and superb company that makes some of the best gear. I recommend thermarest made in the USA and very well trusted. Good sleeping pads are expensive!!! The warmer they get the more expensive. But the warmest pad is made by thermarest with a 7.3 R value.that can go to -50 degrees Fahrenheit and can lie directly on snow while u sleep and you will sleep great. If your in negative 20 deg weather I'd recommend this pad. Many people get a pad like this even for 0 deg weather etc. I use a 5 R value pad for 40 deg and down to 0. It's rated at a 5 R value which is rated for 0 deg. I buy Amok pads. But I will be buying the thermarest 7.3 R value pad. It's called the therm-a-rest Neo air Xtherm NXT pad. And I'll use this even for 60 degs and lower. It's a warmer pad but pads are so expensive and it won't hurt u at all to use a warm pad in weather that is not so cold.
Basically instead of owning a million pads buy two one for super hot weather like a 1.2 R value which r really cheap and one cold weather pad to cover cooler to real cold weather. Then use a proper sleeping bag that matches the temp outside with a pad that can go as cold as the outside temp is and if it's warmer u can still use the cold weather pad. I guarantee you will never sleep cold again. And I recommend getting the wide version of any pad u get cuz their 25 inches wide as opposed to 20 inches. It makes all the difference!!!! Any experienced hiker will use a wide pad. You will sleep so much better and you can roll around on your side and be centered on the pad. Oh and a pad like I mentioned also will be super ultralight and when it's rolled in the stuff sack it will be super small. It'll weigh about 1.5 pounds roughly. Whereas a cheaper pad not ultralight will weigh about 3 pounds or so. Ounces equals pounds and pounds equals pain as they say. I sure hope this was all ok to say. But yeah u were pretty much right on the money with your estimates. I couldn't of said it better. Be well sir and I hope u have alot more good hiking days ahead and u get to rock and roll the outdoors!!
@@ThorHavenFarmif you’re PLANNING a bag and your plan is to put yourself in a survival situation then that’s a poor plan. You said there is a difference between camping and survival and you’re correct. In feeding conditions that difference is gear and knowledge.
Awesome. Thank you
You're welcome!
Good pack but I would replace plastic bottles with stainless steel bottles so you can boil water. Filters will freeze in cold weather.
first thing that happens when you are in distress is your judgement is impaired. being uncomfortable creates distress. wet socks. distress. being wet in general. distress. to operate at one's normal state requires eliminating distress. 2 pairs of socks, so you can switch out and dry the other off. same with clothes. walk this chain of distressors line and you will identify what will mess with your natural capacity. these you can prepare for.
True eh! Great idea on the socks!
Great vid!!!❤
Thank you!!
A good thought out ghb. I see so many with a small bag and no shelter setup. I could be 3 days from home and definitely need to stay warm and dry and rest.
It's time and location dependent I think. I definitely need it.
Awesome. Very detailed and thought out bag. Good gear and bag. Would like to see your next video testing your bag.
Thanks so much!
Smart with the sectional bags. We have the bags from Nate (CP) they’re awesomely made. Vac sealing is also important for space saving and keeping items dry. You should do a compass vid.
Helps to find stuff quicker. I might do one!
Consider replacing your brightly colored tarps, ponchos, etc with a camo pattern material. Getting home could entail the necessity of being less conspicuous if you have to camp overnight.
Yes, still tweaking it some more
I enjoyed the video, but I've heard " in the truck" so many times. It kinda took away from the info. I seriously pay attention, and my OCD gets in. When content creatrs start repeating certain phrases or words, it gets to me. By the way, Condor came out with their version of a Mora style design because Mora knives became so notorious. Enjoyed your content thx for sharing 👍
Awesome kit you got there and i agree it is made for your situation and it would work very well. And that bug juice as you called it where can you buy that stuff?
Not sure if you can actually buy that bug juice.
@@ThorHavenFarm Ok good to know.
Hot hand packs for those batteries to keep them warm?
That't a great idea
NYC, August 2003, blackout. Walking home. 1 hour. Nice stroll. Nice people.
Now: city of 3.6 million. Work - home. Car: 27 minutes (if I am lucky). Subway: 22 minutes plus possible waiting time. Bike: 32 minutes. Walking: 1 hour 45 minutes. Tried it all out. You just should know your way before something happens and have alternative routes.
I have a foldable bike at work, a sleeping pad, a very light sleeping bag, a knife, water, a flash light, cash. Just in case. Not much urban survival...
Great points!
although not the same brands I do have similar in m get home bag and bugout bag. because I live in the city I put items in it specifically for urban situationsy
So true, every one has different situations
Great ideas. I still have the pack that I took to Europe in 1984 with the Canadian flag on the back.
Nice!
Important! Also a safety thing. Canadians have a better image there than other countries...
Im my country nobody know about this kind of bag therefore mostly dont carry
Where did you get the pouches from and where did you get the orange ferro rod. Thanks 😊
The grey pouches are Outdoor Research but I don't know if they make them anymore. The order ferro rod is Ultimate Survival Technologies
Hey....great video. Just wondering where you got those gray internal kit bags? Also what brand of sleeping bag do u use..the green one? Thanks.
The gray kit bags were from Outdoor Reaserch and I use Integral Tactical and Snugpak sleeping bags.
Can’t find those outdoor research bags anywhere!! Do you know exactly where you got them from? Help!
@thorhavenfarm
What model of Gerber flashlight is that? Is it still being made? I can't find it or anything similar online.
HFR-M Light SKU # is 30-000287N Not sure if they still make it.
Another reason why I am so glad I don't live in cold climate. That must suck to have to be that prepared with that much stuff.
That doesn't include the winter boots and outerwear that is in the truck too LOL
@@ThorHavenFarm I don't know why people live in cold climates like that? LOL
I thought ghb was a date drug😆🐸🍺🔪🔥
Me too, I clicked on the wrong video.
Oh, I just google it. Ooops
😆😆😆
😆😆😆😆😆
You said 2.5k per day in rougher terrain...
That equals 1.5 miles per day.
This doesn't make a lot of sense unless your leg is broken...did you make an error in speech or calculation?
Sorry! I meant 2.5km an hour
It's not a real bug out bag if there's no herpes medication in it.
LOL True eh!
