I really like this kit! I am becoming more minimalist, for two reasons.1 focus more on the enjoyment of the outdoors and not the weight of the pack and fooling with gear, most of what is not needed. 2 I’m older with lots of mileage, my large pack carrying days are over. This system makes it so much enjoyable! Thanks, got you subbed

An above average video for sure. You certainly got some interesting comments here lol. The 5 and 10C's are a solid starting point to any kit and ready for adaptation. Nice work brother!

You were recommended to me... first video of yours I have seen. Taking Dave's classes is definitely a great idea! He definitely has developed a system that works for his teaching! No doubt a hall of famer! But he also gets his info from others... Ridgeline for example.. looking forward to watching more videos! Everything was correct as far as I'm concerned... but I'm not a yt video guy either! Haha! Keep up the great hard work! Dave has a ton of knowledge! Absorb all you can my friend!

Really great kit, man! 👍✌️ New sub! Look forward to watching more of your content.

Your shamagh kit wrap is straight out of how the old hobos use to do it...just add a stick. 😉

Nice carry for a walk about. Great video thank you 😊

Great light weight survival kit, good job, great video👍

Very good video, covers all the essential items .

Great option for when you don’t want to carry a pack. I appreciate the shemag for the potential to act as a mosquito net, protecting head and neck, especially if you need to sleep. Might as well wrap some duct tape around something, and include a little compass.

Thanks for Sharing.

Very good.

Nice Outrider, I've got a Hercules 👍 The big SAK's don't get enough love ! Bank line is much better value than Paracord, but unfortunately very hard to buy outside North America 🫤

just a thought... reduce the spool. A dowel works wonders or hank the cordage into manageable lengths

Very original

Nice kit

I can appreciate the fact that you have such a low level of weight. Yet, I don’t fully believe in the gear not falling out if your running. I get how it is looped over then re looped after tying it around your waist, but I’ve had times where I have done that with other items with bandanas and other variations of 100% cotton and I’ve felt it loosen and I did (thankfully) see a item fall out of the twisted up cloth I had it in. Maybe it’s because I didn’t tie if like you did. I just don’t trust it. I’d rather use a usgi surplus waist pack to hold it all. I’d rather waist like.. .50-.75 of a pound to carry something without worry anything will fall out.

Will that cup fit the original Grayl?

Which size pot is that?

The gryll has become a huge game changer for an individual. It doesn't work the most efficiently for a group setting tho. Thanks for sharing, im going ro watch a few more of your videos.

I see a major flaw in this, you have to dismantle your bundle every time you need a drink of water, which means you have to stop or go with out water which is not healthy. Actually you don’t have enough water carrying capacity anyhow. I see no advantage with this over a small day pack or haversack of some kind.

A $95, 1.5 lb, reflective tyvek bivy, full zippers from 2GoSystems, is MUCH more useful than the casualty blanket, I envelope it in a couple of heavy duty, 3 oz each 55 gallon drum liners. I carry a 3rd drum liner and a 3x4 oval of clear PEVA shower curtain. The US military says that hostilities nearly cease at 10F, especially at night, cause such temps ruin batteries in short-order. If need-be, I can add a lot of insulation by packing dry debris between the bugnet suits and the wraps of the camo nets. bivy, envelope and the other drum liner and the PEVA. I wear the latter two as body wrap, inside of the bivy or outside of it, depending upon the level of humidity/cold. I onnly need a set of polypro longjohns for that set up to get me sleeping OK down to 10F, with just cammies, balaclava,, gloves, 3 sets of sock liners, unlaced shoes and shemaugh. Then I'm not carrying anything for cold weather that I dont also need for hot weather. You have to have SOMETHING to wear while you wash and dry the cammies. At 10 F, I can discretely heat up rocks or water with a Dakota fire pit and add them to the inside of the bivy. this helps about 10F degrees, for several hours. If I'm able willing to put a LOT of debris between the other layers and the envelope, i can be ok sleeping at 0F and at such temps, at night, A fire is unlikely to cause issues. I can tape the clear PEVA over the open end of the bivy and use the one way projected heat of a Siberian fire lay, aimed at the PEVA, to gain up to another 20F degrees. I also carry a UCO lantern and its beeswax candle. The hot rocks and the UCO can be used to dry out wet debris, if need-be The morning sun and the PEVA can be used for up to 20F degrees of heat gain, thru the "green-houses -effect"

I don't agree with the 5 C's, let alone the 10 C's, of survivability as presented by Dave Canterbury. I think 'Coordination' in the terrain is a lot more important so you don't get lost in the first place. Something like a compass as a minimum for instance. Next is 'Communication' in case you do get lost and that can be as simple as a loud whistle. You added one but it's not even in the 10 C's. 'Care' is another one and that means from a booboo kit to taking some (prescription) medication and maybe even some sweets to give you a sugar boost. Btw. A lightweight daypack is still also a container because it contains all your stuff. 'Cover' can also mean just a rain jacket or poncho. So I sure don't agree with the 5 C's by Dave Canterbury.

if shtf, you can't have a fire and without a fire, the above is good only to at best 50F, without any rain or wind. Shtf is going to mean COMBAT and a fire is highly likely to get you shot. If you DO have those other things, this set up can't handle 60F without a lot of extra clothing. Casualty blankets suck, too. I use both a 1 lb buttpack and a 1.5 lb day pack. I empty them out, stuff them with debris and use them as sleeping pads, normally up in a 1 lb net hammock. I use a couple of Amazon 1/4 lb each full-body bugnet suits and a couple of their 1/2 lb each camo nets With this set up, I an handle 34F, with wind and rain. Sleeping on the ground sucks. Too often, the ground is wet, full of ants, thorns, rocks, roots, brush, or it's steep hillsides. A hammock fixes all of those problems with minimal work, or worry. If its' cold, I hang the hammock a few inches off of the ground and kick debris under it to stop air flow.
