I use my haversack for duel purpose. It holds the minimum tools and necessities for an all night outcome but I use it more for foraging natures bounty to make my base camp more supplied. Tinder , cordage or wild edibles on a short exploration . No pack just a haversack or possibles pouch. Good video my friend
This is stunning! Being an Englishman I sometimes find the Southern accent a bit off putting....this, however is very gentle on my ears and extremely understandable! Great content squire!
The contents of my haversack are very similar. I include a pair of lightweight gloves, some handwarmers, a couple empty quart size bags and water purification. Looking to add a whistle eventually....
There is so much I could say about this video in particular, I can't say it all... #1 If anyone understands haversacks, there is no other I know of. #2 Seeing you demonstrate these skills in such a proficient way (looks too easy...) is definitely helping me visualize myself doing it, and that definitely makes me more confident in my ability to do it myself.
Ever found having a bag with a one shoulder strap can cause heart troubles and body heat problems esp when it's heavily packed, also not to good upon all those tendons in the neck. Love ur knowledge blackie! 🌳👣🌄👣🌲💖
Your Haversack is great. Made my first one in 1972 out of burlap, it didn't last long. I got a cheap musket bag that I used for a few years and quickly had to make a strap using folded canvas. Great tips Blackie
Nice load out. I tried carrying a haversack many times and constantly gave up on it, then I read Mark Baker's book and his placement of it when carrying one. Night and day difference. None of that Jack Bauer carrying 3000 rounds of 9 mm or even Indiana Jones, what he carries I don't know.
Interesting load out and info..! I'm not really sure where you heard "have your sack" but here is some info for you... The word haversack is an adaptation of the German Hafersack and also the Dutch haverzak meaning "oat sack", which more properly describes a small cloth bag on a strap worn over one shoulder and originally referred to the bag of oats carried as horse fodder. The term was adopted by both the English and French cavalry as haversac in the 17th century. The word haver likewise means "oats" in Northern English and Scottish dialects. Most breads of the day were Oat based and the various militaries began adding other foods to the bag for personal rations. Possibles bag... Correct, you put what personal items you can in a possibles bag separate from a haversack. A shooting bag should be separate and Small and only carry tools and such to fix, clean, or feed your firearm. Today a Haversack carries whatever we choose to put in it apart from a pack. Thanks for the video...
I would love to get hold of some of those oat bread recipes! My body does not like wheat, and I actually much prefer the taste of oats anyway. I have made oat cakes (Scottish style) and have been experimenting with fried flatbreads, trying to make tortillas (I have bought them, but my own experiments have not been flexible enough, although they were tasty and worked more as a flatbread).
Great video and a great series! It’s always so interesting to see the types of gear carried by a very experienced woodsman. Also, I tried the canned pulled pork with rice, that you’ve shown in a video, and it’s a super easy, very filling, and very tasty meal. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Great video as always! It seems the buttpack on an lc2 pistol belt fills the same role as a possibles bag/haversack. Just recently got an M1956 pack for back packing and was wondering what goes in it. This video helped answer this question. Thanks!
Oh i was just reacently listening audiobook by american author set in wild west era, and there was line "get your possibles" or something like that as the main character was invited to sleep. I sort of understood from context what it meant, but i guess he just basicly said get all your personal items inside. Im not native english speaker so some especially these kinda terms might fly over my head. The book is called Blood Meridian
I keep my haversack in my vehicle as a get home bag, it weights 4 pounds not to spend the night, but the the things I might need to get home. Great video..
Thanks for video i can confirm wha you said abaut windproof matches lighter can't replace them i also had a method of dipping very small pieces of wood in zippo ligther fluid works wery well if stored properly so that gassoline won't evaporate little hazardus tho :)
Thank you Blackie for another plane understandable video. I enjoy your videos. Down here in Florida. I would have to add a mosquito net, some gloves to keep the mosquitoes off and maybe some repellent and a water straw to filter water.
Hello Blackie- Great video and I really like this Advanced Woodscraft series. The design of your haversack is nice with the flap pocket and the wide strap does help in my opinion. You have all of your basic needs and then some with you at all times which is a huge plus. Thanks for another good informative video in the series. Till next time, you all be good-
Blackie, I'm getting a late start to the video. Great Video and Outstanding Information, you are right about the weight of no more than 10 pounds. Thanks for Sharing Your Time and Knowledge and Wisdom and Experience and Passing on the Craft and All Your Hard Work. You Are The Master Woodsman and Bushcrafter. Tim L.
Hey Blackie, will you please do a video on a knapsack please? I'm interested in seeing what type of bag is considered a knapsack. I did a search online but found hardly anything on it.
Blackie my name is Dwayne Kenne and I’m a fan of most all of your videos. I recently purchased the Blackbird haversack from Trinity and when I received it my haversack has a 2” black web strap with a plastic buckle. My plans are to get a Nighthawk rucksack in the near future. My question is how do you connect my haversack to the rucksack with the strap and buckle that I have? Thank you for your attention in this matter. Looking forward to your videos and the equipment that you continue to design. You have a blessed day!
Your knife swamp romper ? Looks weird not having your woodsman lol .I hear ya on the bags 20 25 yrs I can tell ya I like a wider shoulder area to carry softer too.
the word Haversack came from old german military where it was Hafersack in meaning oat sack then it went to england where became as Haversack and then came to america
Hi blacky,i saw a video in the past of your own haversack desing that you sale. Do you have a link,of where i can buy 1? Thank you and keep the good work.
Blackie, don't know if it the signal I'm getting or if it's on your end but, about half of this video is just quick jerky movements. The sound is fine but the video itself put me in mind of listening to a CD with fine scratches that causes only bits of the song to be heard.
Do you not pull your trousers in the socks? Against ticks and so? I do so for many many years but maybe you do not have thouse insect problems. Greetings from germany bavaria 😊
We got chiggers ( red bugs) in my area, i have tucked into socks but now i wear thigh high socks in woods and keep spray on socks at ankles , boots treated then spray pants , no chiggers , ticks that way, and i wear wide brim hat like Blackie
You should be ashamed of that first aid kit, if all you need is a band aid then pine sap is better and it has antiseptic properties, if you have a major bleed a band aid isn't going to cut it, carry a large bandage or military first field dressing on your person at all times preferably in your chest pockets as it can be reached by either hand, also double the size of that signal square and you can dual use it as a triangular bandage for broken arms and dislocated shoulders etc.
thanks for watching
As soon as I get the money I want the nighthawk and the blackbird 2 what is the best to get in touch with u and exchange info to pay
I'm glad I took this guy's class at the Spring bushcraft campout this weekend . Very smart guy .
thank you very much

thank you very kindly
This video is making me salivate for my haversack. I can't wait to get it! Thanks for the video
Hi Blackie, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos, muchly appreciated.
I've got a big nylon haversack and you can definitely over pack and it's like carrying a block on your side
I love my haversack. Makes me feel like the mail man🥰
Always very good teaching and info, thanks.
I like this haver sack that's great prepared for everything

It's one of the reasons I don't like them. I'd rather hang it down over my bum on a belt. Like a back to front moon bag.
Good stuff! Thanks! Woohoo!
Your Haversack is great. Made my first one in 1972 out of burlap, it didn't last long. I got a cheap musket bag that I used for a few years and quickly had to make a strap using folded canvas. Great tips Blackie
Ya man I otie a poncho on back strap and 20 oz swiss canteen and cup .bank line head lamp small fire kit and some high calorie snacks

can you tell me the name of the book?

Thanks again for another very informative video!
Haversack comes from the Dutch "haverzak". A kind of bag you hang around a horse's head that it eats out of.
Hi Blackie, great video. Now I can dial in more of what I need to put in mine. Thank you! 👍
Thank you Blackie for another plane understandable video. I enjoy your videos. Down here in Florida. I would have to add a mosquito net, some gloves to keep the mosquitoes off and maybe some repellent and a water straw to filter water.
Good informational video Blackie , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Great video! Lots of good ideas and information. Thanks for the video and for sharing your thoughts,ideas and experience with us.
Thank you Blackie, excellent video. I always have trouble deciding what to carry with me.
Listening to this while making a pigskin suede haversack. Just got done waxing it up. Thanks for all the info!

Ty, very informative, and practical explanation of the haversack, appreciate the knowledge you share…
Good kit Blackie, and like you said it is setup for a specific purpose.
Although I would add a headlamp.

and then came to america
lots of german people settled new england todays new york and boston areas they brought their strong culture with them
Blackie just a maybe dumb question on your wc knife sheath what are the 2 straps and buckles used for.
Scout carry
Hi Blackie I love ur show how can I get in touch with u to order something thank u
Just a quick question would extra ammunition for the side arm be appropriate in the haversack?
With the tarp if you do an offset diamond won’t it cover your hammock better .?
Hi blacky,i saw a video in the past of your own haversack desing that you sale.
Do you have a link,of where i can buy 1?
Thank you and keep the good work.
Was that leantoo tarp camo printed? or the woods shadows it looked cool!
shadows
Where's the list of links?? There's too much great equipment to just show us Blackie! :)
Blackie, don't know if it the signal I'm getting or if it's on your end but, about half of this video is just quick jerky movements. The sound is fine but the video itself put me in mind of listening to a CD with fine scratches that causes only bits of the song to be heard.
There seems to be a certain amount of background fuzz... The motion seems OK.

Where do I find the haversack you have like the zipper option
Hi Blackie, is that a Jack Lore knife attached on your haversack?
Do u carry a water container?
How do I get a Blackbird Haversack?
go to downndirtywoodscraft@gmail.com and i will add you to the next run list
Is that a beretta on your hip?
Actually, the most imorptant thing without shotgun is your knife. So, knife should be the easiest one, to get out

Hell no, Blackie! Try to carry 8lb (that's 4kg!)! You're asking to terminally screw your spine and neck up!
