cheap $10 water bottle.... yet your still using it today. so that kinda proves you dont need the mythical Gyout designs bottle. any steel one will do heh
@godofnothingness.....duluth trading co makes a pack like this one. dave uses Duluth now and you can even order one with the pf logo. they are pricey though
Dave, have you ever come across the South African Defense Forces pattern 83 battle jacket (SAAV vest)? I heard that it's one hell of an item, whether for its carrying capacity, durability, build or comfort. I'm talking about the genuine used found in military surplus stores.
As far as first aid goes, in addition to the cordage, needle, bandanna and duct tape, I'd like to respectfully recommend iodine water purification tablets. Aside from just purifying water, if you put a tablet or two in a small amount of water you get iodine solution which you can use to disinfect wounds.
With the flexible solar panel you can attach it to your backpack and charge your mp3 player as your listening to your favorite music or you can be charging your headlamp as your walking along, or rig it up to charge them both at the same time. Great music and light are great to have when your outdoors staring at the stars
I think it would be handy to have a windup battery charger and or a flexible solar panel to charge up your headlamp batteries and what ever other battery operated devises you may have.
Id love for you to do a nice long series of videos, made of cut up parts of you, out and about for a long weekend or something. Showing us everything between setting up, food, water etc. Could be really intresting.
Hey, Dave! I've been loving your videos the last day or so while laid up sick on the couch. Had a tiny question about this vid, and that's just this - what size of MSR cookpot is that?
Hey, Dave! I've been loving your videos the last day or so while laid up sick on the couch. Had a tiny question about this vid, and that's just this: what size of MSR cookpot is that?
I didn't see anything about water purification. I assume you're boiling all your water to achieve that, is that correct? Also, for multiple days in the dirt, do you carry extra clothing?
@Texasoutback smartass much, I was trying to help answer it to the best of my ability seeing that he may not have time to answer every menial question that appears on 1 of his several hundred videos
if you are well aware, then you could derive that he carries duct tape more often than not
@jkgoet01 seems to me your the smartass. My question and reply was strait forward. If Dave doesn't have time to answer a qestion thats fine, but an answer that doesnt have anything to do with the question does little good, not to mention that since my question was to Dave you are bing rude and intrusive.
@Texasoutback Dave created the pathfinder system as you are well aware, in it there are the10 C's of survivability, one of which is duct tape, your original statement/question was "Noticed you also carry a large roll of tape. Is that a constant thing." my reply had everything to do with it, unless your assuming he wouldn't follow his own system?
@jkgoet01 Ok look, there was a specific reason for my question and it had nothing to do with you. I know what he use to carry and it was different then what he had in this video. I wanted to know if he was changing. I don't need you to bark at me. If Dave doesnt or cant answer thats fine, but you being a jerk to me isn't going to cut it.
@MonsterAmpRedbull13 Not if you want to rely on it if it gets wet, you run out of fuel, or you forget to refill it right before you go out & it's empty when you need it, ect. Now, paired with a backup firesteel or something like that it can be a great "luxury" primary firestarter. I'm actually planning to use my slim that way in the kit I'm building. This said, with a butane insert you gain water resistance (YMMV) and reliability, but a firesteel or magnesium block is still much more reliable.
@wildernessoutfitters I remember hearing you say on Dual Survival if you cant think of three different uses for an item it is not worth having. When it comes to the items past the 5 C's does this logic apply? Thank you much for the advice!
When you have to handle business, do you just pull over near a tree, unload and keep moving? Or do you have any kind of restroom routine or method? And this question goes for anyone (anyone can answer or throw their advice or methods.)
Okay, I know this is irrelevant to the point of these videos (which I love,) but what is the song you use in the intro and in the photo montages. I love that acoustic track.
@jeriwade123 Between, Cordage, a needle, bandanna, and duct tape your first aid should be covered. I will most often just carry a 32 oz bottle of trail mix that is about 2 days of food and catch or harvest the rest.
@wildernessoutfitters yess sir! this is how its done! when training my cadets i take a small pack with hardly anything in it like you! but its not the amount of stuff i have but how i use it that teaches them, i teach survival skills and bush craft when i get the chance but all im supose to teach is maps and compass! :P gotta love extra knowledge! you my friend are a good man! and a great teacher have a good one sir!
Those packs are really tough. They are heavy though to the point where it can be a limiting factor as to how much supplies you can carry. Still they are VERY tough. I borrowed my brother's a while back and now I want one for myself. Everyone should get a couple since they are so cheap right now.
hey dave, i just wondered why you never use tents? dont you think it`s a good thing to carry?? or is it because of the weight??? please answer me. by the way i`m a big fan!!
Just picked up that exact bag at a gun show for $10.00 and couldn't be happier with it. Thanks allot Dave it wouldn't have caught my eye if I hadn't seen this.
Hi Dave. comments like your response here just make me chuckle out loud. Brother , I always get a real kick out of your sense of humor amigo :-)
Food over-rated ?? LOL. I was just thinking about me in contrast, when I would go out backpacking for even a few days.At times I was carrying very little else -- but the food?? I had 2 pounds of fruit trail mix and made steaks, baked potatoes, roasted turkey, udon noodles and curry noodles with pork chop. Maybe that's why I'm fat now ha ha
Glad you are back. Nice pack, and waterproof bag. I know you don't mention brand names to advertise them, but would love if you lited contents in the information section. I have to watch the video again now to get the name of those 2 bags.lol.
Awesome as always. Might I submit a few humble thoughts?
Victorinox Swisstool Spirit model. I am a multitool junkie and find it the best I have seen for weight, compactness, quality and usefulness.
I had one of those Swiss Army surplus bags a while back ditched it - its heavy.
Can't wait for the new season of DS! Loved it when you got that alligator. Run with the big dogs or stay on the porch. Awesome. You should be doing beer commercials in your spare time.
thats very true what works for some people might not be for others. cant wait to see new episodes of Duel Survival you and Cody have totally inspired me to build my own kit that i carry every day with me, also one thing i carry now is the pocket fishing rod. i built one of my own . i noticed you didn't have yours in the kit. guess you just use the bank line eh? i am going to be looking in to that next. Thanks Dave!
For those of you looking for this pack on cheaperthandirt... you won't find it. If you're looking for a good cheap bag, search ebay for a medium sized Alice Pack. They can be had for around $15. Search YouTube for a medium Alice Pack to check it out.
Oh, OK, I just saw another video with more of the vice-grips uses explained. I think I get it now... Very cool saw trick by the way! "Awe-and then-some" man!!!
I use the EXACT same ruck sack, but for the motorcycle since it is waterproof and keeps my stuff dry every time. I found that the thick leather back rest, while it keeps things from poking your back and keeps you from sweating, it will press hard on your back and gets uncomfortable after a little while. Nothing beats it for keeping things dry though!
As a backpacker I am surprised by the vice grips. I was not expecting that. the rest of your kit I have tried. my favorite cook system is the all aluminum german canteen with canteen cup. even the cap is made of metal. I beat the hell out of mine but I like it. It has character. I hammock camp and you would be interested to know the best secret to winter hammock camping is the modular sleep system and putting the poncho liner under you. warmth without hauling a heavy under quilt.
Hey Dave, great to see you on utube again. I was wondering if you could make a short video on the items that you carry on your EDC and why you carry them?
Hello Dave! I usually carry at least 2 military canteens with me cause it´s too hot in Brazil where I am! Seeing you carrying just that botlle for water makes me wonder if you wouldnt consider taking an extra water container, unless, of course, water is available more abundantly! Anyways It´s a pleasure to be able to learn from you again through YT! Im glad you were able to work it out with them discovery guys! Needless to say I love your videos brother! God bless you (and Cody)!
hey dave my friend and i are going to survive for 3-5 day. would this be good to surive for this amount days. and would all of these supplies be at big 5 because i already have the tarp and sleeping bag.
@mattussr , Try searching on Google for either Mason Line, or Seine Twine. Hope this helps because I was there a few days ago myself and just ordered some online as I live in the middle of nowhere.
I've had that same kind of rucksack over 15 years now. I always thought that is swiss, not swedish. Anyway, it's a very good choise to wet environments and weathers.
Nice idea's Dave thanks. By the way you didn't mention anything about the tape that was on the side of your pack. But great video, you've given me some ideas on my own pack.
I have to say that the part I liked best was the fact that you have changed to the bank line instead of a lot of para cord. The reason is because that is what I carry. I started carrying it cause It was cheaper but I became attached to it. I buy the 200 and somthing lbs test trot line that will not rot. Its nice knowing that we carry the same thing.
@wildernessoutfitters I would agree with that to a point, but the only thing I would say is some kind of disinfectant, an infection gone wrong can kill you, so just something to initially clean the wound is all you need long as you watch it after that, could always use boiled water filtered through your bandana or hell if it come to it cauterizing it, but some basic disinfectant will do you good
If anyone was wondering where to find the mountain bag they have some on Sportsmansguide. There sold out but getting more soon. Just type in Swiss Rucksacks
excellent to see how your kit has changed over the years,not by much still a lot of the essentials but,also the small bits and pieces that keep your essentials in good working order ,great update Dave,thanks Sir
Great vid Dave! just curious as to why you don't use the deluth pathfinder backpack? is it not water resistant enough for winter trekking? or were you just showing options? I really like the Pathfinder pack.thanks

I use the EXACT same ruck sack, but for the motorcycle since it is waterproof and keeps my stuff dry every time. I found that the thick leather back rest, while it keeps things from poking your back and keeps you from sweating, it will press hard on your back and gets uncomfortable after a little while. Nothing beats it for keeping things dry though!

As a backpacker I am surprised by the vice grips. I was not expecting that. the rest of your kit I have tried. my favorite cook system is the all aluminum german canteen with canteen cup. even the cap is made of metal. I beat the hell out of mine but I like it. It has character. I hammock camp and you would be interested to know the best secret to winter hammock camping is the modular sleep system and putting the poncho liner under you. warmth without hauling a heavy under quilt.

Hey Dave, great to see you on utube again. I was wondering if you could make a short video on the items that you carry on your EDC and why you carry them?

thats a nice kit. usually if you remember k.i.s.s it works out for most anything

Hello Dave! I usually carry at least 2 military canteens with me cause it´s too hot in Brazil where I am! Seeing you carrying just that botlle for water makes me wonder if you wouldnt consider taking an extra water container, unless, of course, water is available more abundantly! Anyways It´s a pleasure to be able to learn from you again through YT! Im glad you were able to work it out with them discovery guys! Needless to say I love your videos brother! God bless you (and Cody)!

dave where do you get that bankline, ive heard some say walmart but i cant find it anywhere. is there a brand name for the stuff you use?
mattussr 1 year ago
@mattussr , Try searching on Google for either Mason Line, or Seine Twine. Hope this helps because I was there a few days ago myself and just ordered some online as I live in the middle of nowhere.

I've had that same kind of rucksack over 15 years now. I always thought that is swiss, not swedish. Anyway, it's a very good choise to wet environments and weathers.

Nice idea's Dave thanks. By the way you didn't mention anything about the tape that was on the side of your pack. But great video, you've given me some ideas on my own pack.

I have to say that the part I liked best was the fact that you have changed to the bank line instead of a lot of para cord. The reason is because that is what I carry. I started carrying it cause It was cheaper but I became attached to it. I buy the 200 and somthing lbs test trot line that will not rot. Its nice knowing that we carry the same thing.

Don't forget the herbal identification and familiarity skills you've honed over the years. Without those? Bring some pills if you can.

Kudos on a 20 lb bush pack WITH an axe Dave.
thanson77 1 year ago
@wildernessoutfitters I would agree with that to a point, but the only thing I would say is some kind of disinfectant, an infection gone wrong can kill you, so just something to initially clean the wound is all you need long as you watch it after that, could always use boiled water filtered through your bandana or hell if it come to it cauterizing it, but some basic disinfectant will do you good
