This is really great and I really like the foldable backpack! I also like that you add a list of the contents so I don’t have to keep going through the video to find the products I liked and would like to one day get. Thanks for the video!

Great informative video. I think the only thing I would add to your kit is a poncho. Its a great multi purpose piece of kit for staying dry and also could be used as a shelter.

500 to 5k in two years. Great job! Your kit- AWESOME. Why is it awesome? Because I know YOU will have it with you at ALL times. And that, is most critical

Can't stress how important it is to actually get out and use your gear so you know not only how to use it, but what stuff you still need and others you thought you did but don't and can streamline from your pack. Good info

Including the cash is a great idea that many people overlook.

Always nice to see someone put a lot of thought into their BOB - I have seen tons of people just load up the biggest backpack they can find with everything in their kitchen junk drawer and call it good!

Putting my emergency bag together soon. Need to get some more gear it looks like. Thanks for the inspiration to get back to getting prepared.

Great vid. Need to work on a bag for myself. My problem is organization. Seems like I can gather supplies, but organizing them and getting them into a usable system is an insurmountable obstacle! Lol Thank you for the inspiration to keep trying. 🇺🇸

Very good overview! i agree with you about the Mora knife. i bought the Mora Companion Spark (including a firesteel) and it is a great tool!

Very good kit! I will make one like it but with more survival food.

NEVER WON ANYTHING, BUT JUST WANTED TO SAY, MINIMALIST ULTRALIGHT IS THE WAY TO GO. SUPREME EFFICIENCY, JUST GOT A SKELETOOL, BUT ONE THING ULTRA MINIMALIST ADD ON I DID WAS A SWISS ARMY HUNTSMAN, BETWEEN THE TWO, LOT OF FUNCTION COVERED IN JUST TWO PIECES OF KIT. LOVE THE SKELETOOL, BUT ADDING A HUNTSMAN MAKES IT A FORCE MULTIPLIER EXPANDED FUNCTION, SAW , AWL, SCISSORS, CAN OPENER, NOT FOUND ON SKELETOOL. I'VE WATCHED A LOT OF SETUPS, WHAT I LOVE ABOUT YOURS IS IT'S BASIC, SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT FORWARD , BUT COVERS MOST OF CANTERBURY 10 C . GOOD JOB, ULTRALIGHT, MINIMALIST, AND MOST OF ALL, A STREAMLINED GO PACK.

Thanks for putting together a clean and concise video on a topic which is often quite complicated.

Great video, very practical bag and light weight! That fire cord is really cool and I might have to pick one up. I also have a water filter for my get home bag and not a steel bottle that I would need to boil water. The quicker I can get water and get home the better. Fire takes more time, but always nice to have the capability when needed.

Very helpful. Putting together a bag myself.

Starting to put together an EDC/get home bag and my 72 hour gag. Love the gear ideas.

Good content, one thing I learned by experience, lock the thumb lever on the Bic lighters so it doesn't accidentally get depressed and all your fluid leaks out. I use a small zip tie that goes around the lighter and under the lever so it can't be depressed. It can easily be removed and put back on. I also remove the childproof metal cover over the lighter's striking wheel, that way I can use it with wet, cold or gloved hands without it blocking my use.

I liked the jute fire cord best. Genius way to carry an ember till you need it.

Hi, nice kit, like others have commented I would add some better food supplies, and a lightweight cooking pot, plus wooden spoon, and cut a ranger band thin enough to twist 3 times below the lever on those bic's, I also put more bands onto the Bic body to use as tinder, it will burn when wet, I've been carrying one secured like this in my pockets for the last 7-8 yrs ,still got gas, the bands a bit fiddly to get off when hands are cold, I just cut it off and set fire to it,lol. Seasonal best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.

Another advantage of a minimalist kit is that if you have to pack up in a hurry, its easy to throw a few items in your bag and head out instead of washing pots and rolling up sleeping bags.

Wow that's a really cool set up. Thanks for sharing your ultralight setup. Lots of great ideas.

I would suggest getting some of those bug spray wipes if you really want to have some form of insect repellent. And I definitely think having an emergency blanket and an emergency Pancho would be worthwhile items to have. Oh and some stormproof matches just in case.

I have a green "Umake" bug out bag from Amazon that I keep in its pouch ready to pack in my Jeep. The contents would be very similar to yours including a Mora Companion. I have a Grayl water purifier and a Gerber Strongarm. Loaded with a 72 hour (4Patriots) food pouch and a liter of water in the Grayl, the bag weighs just under 11 pounds. I even threw in a couple of those 5-year food bars which I cut up and placed them in a ziploc bag. I like carrying a couple extra one gallon freezer ziploc bags and two 55 gallon contractor bags, one for a makeshift mattress and one as an emergency shelter, layer or as a rain cover/poncho. On a weekend survival training and weapons class I "survived" a weekend on two of those bars, or bricks I call them. There were several students in the class that carried 40+ pounds bug out bags and obviously they struggled the entire weekend on the hikes but were comfortable in camp. I still prefer the minimalist load out.

Having a kit you can move around as needed is really a smart thing to do if you have multiple bags. I keep my basic kit in a Hidden Woodsmen survival kit pouch. It is always in whatever bag I have, along with my single-walled stainless bottle, so I always know what I have and don't have.

Great recommendations!! You’re very well versed. A person we can trust. Thank you!

Best video on bug out I’ve seen in a long time. I subscribed. Looking forward to to seeing other video’s.

Nice setup. You ever think about carrying liquid IV powder packets? They add electrolytes to your water to hydrate you even more. The packets weight next to nothing. You can find them at Costco and amazon. Could help out on those hotter days 👍

Great set up!!! I would add a poncho and hat

Once again, great video. I would add a 1-2qt cook pot. I usually don’t do ultralight. I’m the guy that throws in the kitchen sink to be “safe”. Haha

Very thorough and indeed, very well thought out! Maybe just add a needle so you can repair gear with the survival cord stands, but that was a stretch to think of anything you didn't think to include.

Nice kit. I need to do something like this to keep in my truck. I think I would add a couple of the Gatorade instant pouches for the electrolytes.

That peanut butter is forward thinking. Rusty mora... tetanus.... lock jaw.... peanut butter! Things to consider: Clear plastic sheet (to be used with the emergency blanket to make a supershelter), replace each bic lighter with 2 mini bic lighters, water filter, passport, zippo hand warmer & fuel, mule tape, replace the handle of your firesteel with fatwood and a orange loop of firecord lanyard + a carbide sharpening tool as a striker, and a folding saw (silky or laplander). Also next time you are in a rainforest, remember that the bark on the tree is dry and a great source of tinder.

I love the fact that you've used and used and used this kit

Use vinegar to force a patina on the Mora. Amazingly easy and helpful mod. Some say 20 min or an hour. I left mine overnight. No harm done.

Your kit is just enough to get you through a rough scrape with out to much bulk or weight.

Nice set up, I like that it is light weight too.

Nice set up , light and complete enough ,,,,,,,,, maybe some food

Id add clear saftey glasses or if you wear glasses clear side shields. Nothing like moving around in the woods and getting a stick or something in your eye. Id add a bit more high energy dense food bars as well. and mabey a cpl bullion cubes.

Thanks for taking the time to do these videos.

Outstanding video!!!! Always good to have the lightweight option with quality, time tested gear. Keep up the good work!

There is nothing wrong with having a back up for your back up. And having extra space in your pack for any supplies you find on the journey

I really like that REI stuff sack idea. I'm definitely going to get one of those. Awesome video. Keep em coming.

Love the Katadyn Be Free...works great!

Great for bug-out, camping, surviving. Please help with a bag when made to leave home to the school gym, stadium, etc.

Great choices for your kit. You were realistic unlike a lot of others where they are so overloaded they wouldn’t be able to make it 5 miles....

I'm a newbie about getting things together for a bug out bag and everyday carry bag . I'm trying to get the correct items and your knife give away would be a great addition. The items you put to get sounds great for a light weight bag. I look forward get my bag together soon with the way things are going on in the USA.

Greetings from a fellow Texan. I’d suggest a small, cheap pancho that you can throw in your stuff sack. They come in handy in a pinch.

Great video. Will have to rethink my bag.

Great overall kit, I liked some things you covered and will add to my EDC bag, thanks! ☺

Perfect for me…thanks for the info vid!

I will be working on making some waxed jute for myself this weekend now.... I’ve done waxed everything else but never twine. I even kept some jute in my fire kit for awhile I’m very surprised I never even thought of it.

Great light weight kit. Love how you just drop it inside of another bag if you need too!

Nice kit. Nice to see you doing more with less.

Nice kit. Love it. Glad to hear your channel is growing well.

I love the knife!

Very nice kit.

new viewer to your channel. i like your thought process.

I made an ultra light bag for a coworker out of purse that she wasn't using anymore and now she carries this bag everywhere.

I like the fire stick, never saw that before. You would think a short 20 minute video I could get thru non-stop. (I'm at work, enough said.) However I missed the sleeping equip. The tarp could serve as cover, that's good. Over all amazingly small and compact and light. Definitely gives me a target. Tanks.

Great compact bag!

Great kit.

Nice Kit - light and tight

Thanks for this great video its a very good pack of kits

Nice kit I’d add a sail needle for repairs.

Nice kit, but I agree about the missing food, maybe just add some life boat food rations, they don’t weigh much! Nice video!

Another great video!👍

Great videos. Thanks. Great give away also.

Useful vid. You might mention stuffing the contractor bag with leaves, about 4 inches thick, to use as a mattress, to avoid heat loss to the ground. I think that stuff sac is a great idea. Very nice minimal kit.

"Ikigai" hits hard for me.

Thank you for a light weight bag pack, thats very helpful.

Almost the same as mine. I will be adding the netting tho, it was a great idea. Leave me out of the contest, I don't need the knife.

Great kit!

I'm liking those socks

Awesome light weight kit!! I would add a hammock to the kit!!! Awesome vid

Good job, might have to add a couple pouches of peanut butter to my bag. Thank you.

Another great video

Nice minimal set up. Thanks for sharing

good ideas in the video

Thanks. Enjoyed.

Very informative

Appreciate the great idea, it gives me the basis to start something light and simple yet effective, thanks.

Great Video and Info 👍

Very good ideas if you wear glasses keep a spare pair

Nice job

nice kit there I was number 675 unfortunately but am now subscribed and looking forward to other videos you have thought long and hard about your lightweight kit and it shows cheers Phil Australia

Nice kit, I put together something similar but you mentioned a few things that I’m going to now add.

Great overall kit. I like the stuff sack. Thanks

Nice kit

Good looking system! I like the compactness, yet it has all the ability you need. I haven’t seen the katadyn filter, I will have to look into these!

Nice job!

How can people criticise someone’s kit if it works for them then that’s enough awesome video

Good kit

Great video! I really like the setup and its making me rethink a few things in my own rig...

Thanks for another great video. I use something like this as my Get My Home Bag. Cheers!

Nice very though out kit

You have some good ideas. Thanks for the information.

Lol every fire kit I have seen has the good old trusty BIC! Great vid. I'm a huge fan of jute....i live in the cowichan valley on Vancouver Island and between a Ferro rod and jute and all the cedars and big firs out here will allow anyone who doesn't lose their Ferro rod to make fire on the west coast lol....been here all my life and have been able to make fire...fatwood everywhere here! Anywho cheers, Jerbs.

Nice well thought out light kit. Enjoying the channel.

Good video. Thanks

Cool video man thanks

Good video. I have watched a few today. Keep up the good work!
