Gear for a 2 Night Bushcraft Camp in the Snow

Hey guys, Joe here. Thanks for tuning in again. Well right now, I'm about six hours north of my house. It snowed quite a bit. I've just built this raised bed. I'm in the middle of building a shelter to spend two nights out here. And I need to take this time to show you guys what's in my backpack. First up, I'm going to tell you what I had strapped to the outside of my bag. It'd be my 26-inch Wedderfors axe. It's like the equivalent to a Gränsfors Scandinavian axe. Scandinavian forest axe. Got my sheath right here. Like I said, I've been using these tools already. I got my Agua Canyon Boreal 21 buck saw. Great stuff. I've got my Hestra gloves that I've been wearing, my leather gloves. They're getting wet, but they're still keeping warm. There's insulation on the inside. Before I do anything else, I need to take this out of the back so I can put my knees on it right now because my knees are on the snow. I brought my, in the back of my backpack, where the sit pad normally goes, I stuffed my sheet of Reflectix in there, okay? so I'm gonna use this to kneel on right now oh much better much better okay so keep in mind the temperature is fluctuating today from negative 1 Celsius in the daytime to negative 10 Celsius at night tomorrow is negative 1 Celsius in the daytime negative 4 Celsius at night my sleeping bag which is attached to the bottom of my of my backpack is rated to negative 7 degrees Celsius so it's 3 degrees off of what it should be for tonight and that's a the very minimum guys right like when they test sleeping bags they test them for comfort or for survivability you know what i mean you can survive a negative seven in this this is not what it's supposed to be rated for and it's an old sleeping bag that's lost a lot of down so needless to say i it's cold it's going to be very cold tonight and i need to build a substantial shelter and a substantial fire to make this adequate next up the side pockets in the one i've got my zebra billy can my 12 centimeter inside of it i have two eggs and a spork flip it around the other side here i've got two water bottles got a nalgene and a titanium one that's about three quarters the size of a nalgene on the walk in and halfway through the build i was wearing my outer layers as well i got warmed up um building but i'm actually getting chilled now so this is a fall raven granite shirt it's a wool shirt wool jacket kind of shirt and then this is my mountain hardware down jacket i got my fall raven keb trousers on got my muck boots a toque and just normal stuff i have a possibles pouch in here inside it i've got my phone i've got um a notepad to write stuff down i've got an emergency blanket space blanket first aid kit headlamp toilet paper compass uh keys to my car a backup fire steel fire starting and a hacky sack next up i've got food we'll go through the food in one second i thought that was my clothes this is my clothes so for two nights three days fluctuating temperatures down to negative 10 i've got Aside from what I'm wearing, I have long johns to put on at night I have a polyester long shirt to put on at night or if I get cold a handkerchief and that's it I thought I had an extra pair of socks.

And potatoes, the potatoes are going to be good with the garlic. I don't have much gear really. There's no tarp, there's no sleeping pad, there's no kind of tent or shelter or anything like that. But I have the paracord, we need to make a natural shelter. That's why I brought the big tools, right? Lots of work. So lots of good food, lots of work, minimal gear.
