Gear Loadout/What I Took for an Overnight Spring Camp.

Hey folks, thanks for tuning in. I'm here again up north. A mosquito's flying around my camera, so you might be hearing some buzzing and seeing some bugs in the lens. I want to do a spring overnight bushcraft camp out of my backpack. I've got a tarp. I've got a little bit of food. There's a river right down there. I'm camped above a cliff. If you'd like to see the full video, please check out one of these corners, and it'll be up soon. This is just a gear video about what I have for this trip. I always get questions about it, and I don't really like to always put it in the main video. Plus, I'm going to be able to make two videos out here after driving eight hours to be here. Okay, let's go for the stuff on the outside of the backpack. Like always, this axe is a 19-inch Wetterling's Large Small Hunter's Axe, I believe. This is one of the first axes I've ever bought. I've had this for over 10 years. Super old, wedge head. Awesome axe, though. I haven't used it in a long time. Feeling a little bit nostalgic. bust out the old Wetterlings the other side i've got my heavy cover canteen and the canteen cup and then underneath it Malcolm told me that i could fit my lid completely underneath it and that's what i've been doing now goes underneath everything nests in my military style it is a military surplus canteen cup holder everything goes in there nice and contained there's a link in my description for this canteen if you're interested it's titanium it's bomb proof Check it out. On the bottom I have a wool blanket. We're doing a wool blanket today guys. So we got the old Italian wool blanket. Should be good. It's going to get down to 12 tonight celsius. Not so bad. Pretty nice. Do up my straps. Do up my straps you know. on this side I have my food this is my little tiny baby pouch with my food in it for today and tomorrow morning I'll go through that in a little bit right on top as you can see if you watch the full video I stopped and grab some birch bark to start my fire with I have this is new to me a heavy cover titanium grill I mean not titanium grill titanium frying pan so I'm hoping to go find some leeks and some fiddleheads and fry those guys up with my supper that should be nice The reason I brought this is because it's super lightweight. It just goes right in Honestly weighs not much at all. You can tell the difference in these Between other titanium. They're a little bit more dense, but the weight is not even the factor I've got my Primus, my trusty old MSR uplink Primus I've had this thing for Years better part of ten years. I've got because there's a river down there Unfortunately, the the rainbow trout run through it and unfortunately, I don't see any it's a very shallow River and i don't see any trout in there at all but i've got my old emerald we'll try to use it after nice pack rod there i've got some fishing gear got a little merino wool toque for tonight man these bugs getting buggy i've got my sit pad my grill a possible pouch with first aid uh everybody always gives me grief about not having first aid i do have first aid i just don't mention it all the time it's usually in my possible pouch possible pouch first aid sunglasses uh water treatment lots of other stuff that I don't really remember but are in here extra batteries stuff like that lots of extra batteries and SD cards and cords for my camera gear I have my Therm-a-Rest NeoAir XTherm, I've been using a lot I really like this sleeping pad if you're looking for a sleeping pad this is the one to get I use it in the winter in the summer it's a little bit pricey but I have my last one for like seven or eight years I still have it it's a great pad if honestly if you're it's a little bit pricey and people don't like paying money for things that aren't fun. A sleeping pad is not fun. But you know what else is not fun? Not getting a good night's sleep when you're out on a canoe trip or even an overnight. You got to get up and bust your butt in the morning. You can't sleep. Spend a couple hundred dollars and you'll sleep. I've got a tarp. This is the same tarp I used on my last trip. This is a homemade tarp. My buddy Kyle made it for me. We are in the process of getting more of these manufactured for anybody interested. I got a lot of questions about these tarps. Super lightweight, bomb-proof, as you saw in my last trip I've been using this for years too guys you've seen it I got a couple beers in here too but we're going to save those for after just to go over them and uh we'll drink we'll drink them during uh during dinner that's some extra paracord and a pair of socks for my nighttime if it gets cold and a patch kit for my Therm-a-Rest so that's all my gear except for my beer my food like I said is all on the outside I'm going to supplement with wild leeks and fiddle heads and i was hoping for trout but maybe i can settle for some crayfish there's literally no trout in that river I you can see right through it I got a bag of sage my mom gave me some sage uh for sore throat for tea M&M peanuts I've got a little bit of butter I got a couple bars jerky rice garlic and oatmeal for the morning so really no meat no except for this like three kept three pieces of jerky not much food but again I wanted to supplement with wild foods this time so we'll see how that goes this is all my gear I'd strongly urge you to oh sorry my knife I've got in my on my waist belt I've got this nice sack holder it's like a Swiss Army knife slash fire steel case she actually should show you a little closer so I've got this Lone Woodsman leather sheath for my SAK farmer actually this is a bushcrafter but it fits a farmer too just got a lanyard attached it doesn't need it but I can take it off I can have enough room to use it it's pretty cool new product new new gear line to Lone Woodsman pretty cool stuff and then for fire starting I have a book of matches little paper matches nothing fancy I just want to try something a little bit different so it's not wet or anything it's no big deal my backpack is a Hidden Woodsman Day Rock 2.0 Jill Robinette version I think that's everything i'll put some links in the description for the canteen the backpack the uh the lone woodsman sheath hope you guys enjoyed this video it's just a little teaser i'll probably release this very uh in very quick succession with the actual trip video and see how that goes this time but uh yeah please stay tuned for the video hope you enjoy it have a good day guys i'm about to set my tarp up my shelter up it's gonna get get some rain soon so i want to have that uh up before that happens and then off to forage take care guys see you on the next one
