Thanks! It can be tough to juggle weight and function ha ha!

You are right, it is a basic kit. I normally only carry the clotting sponge and pressure bandage for big holes/wounds. duct tape and sometimes a few band aids for smaller stuff. I could probably carry a few more items for first aid.

Hello! Thank you for the kind words, yes the channel name was Zeuki1 for a long time.... I wanted to change it for a long time but couldn't pick a better one so one day just named it after where I live ha ha. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I have a few handles, the one shown is 16". Fits in or on my packs pretty well and in motorcycle bags ha ha. I have done a few sheaths, this one was super simple wrap around style with a stud closure and sewn welt. I made a few kydex ones too, they work well. The blade on this hawk is a bit modified also, really happy with it. Was going to do a long term review on the trail hawk and go into detail on some of this stuff .... but ran out of time for filming on this trip.

@@Scablands_Scavengerhopefully you’ll film that video in the future !

Yes, trail hawk! This one is 16" I find it a good balance and more compact for storing inside a pack or motorcycle bags. I have quite a few handles though and run everything 12-32" on occasion ha ha ha.

He did say it all depends on environment. The poncho shelter is enough when I go to a tropical rain forest but not in the arctic. The tomahawk can be useful in the arctic but has little use in the rain forest. And what's with this F anyway? Learn metric like the rest of the world.

Thanks for sharing your setup, sounds like a pretty well stocked camp setup. I always envy guys that use hammocks, In the arid areas I frequent, a lack of trees make them not much use to me unfortunately. I have never been able to get comfortable in one, and find without a good under quilt I get as cold as setting on the ground but see why people like them for weight and packability. A basic genuine ripstop nylon surplus poncho has been my go-to for emergency shelter and occasional motorcycle camp for a few decades now, but definitely agree a bug net is a good addition. I have a solo seek outside bugnet "nest" that works well with a poncho/tarp or my "little bugout" shelter in summer, but never really felt the need to carry it in a day pack. I would definitely add a packable jacket and change or two of socks in winter, but typically carry a different pack with load bearing support for more weight.

​@@stevanoutdoor Stevan, the guy that made the comment you are referring to, is someone known as "Bill Randell" , a self appointed "expert" that can "talk the talk" but not "walk the walk". He has made so many posts promulgating his point of view regarding the survival show "Alone" that the producers barred him from commenting. He now hides behind pseudonames . He hates criticism and likes quoting from the Irish/russian authoress Alice O'Conner. I quoted some of her quotes back to him and he didn't like it . ie . . . "not open to reason" . . . "no concern for facts,ideas,work" . . . If he was as good as he claims to be he would have written books or published a series of videos and made a fortune, he hasn't. He uses degrees farenheit as he is American and they still use Imperial measurements. Stevan, go to some of the recent videos made by contestants about to appear on Series 11 of Alone and you will be able to read volumes of Bill's(Sonny Crocket/user-ci2mn1oy3w) comments.

​@@stevanoutdoor Dear Stevan , this is my second attempt to reply to your question. The guy you are referring to is better known to the U-tube community as a character called "Bill Randell". He purports to be a survival expert. He made so many long comments about the TV survival show Alone that the producers banned him from making further comments. He created many other accounts in different user names and continues to produce his verbal outpourings. He likes to quote from the works of the russian/Irish authoress, Alice O'Conner but doesn't like it when you quote her back to him . . . "no concern for facts,ideas,work" . . . "not open to reason" . . . If he was as good as he claims to be he would have made a fortune from books and videos ; he hasn't ! He uses the Farenheit temperature scale as he is a American. Hope this helps you. Happy Trails.

Definitely a good bag, perfect size for just a grab and go with a little extra room for fishing or hunting gear, trail cameras whatever!

Pie irons are great for camp cooking... I need to use mine more!

@@Scablands_Scavenger On Amazon I got lobster 🦞 oven mitts to use as covers for the pie irons. Also useful for mitts lol.

There are tons of them here in Europe, never tried making any soup with them

It’s seriously amazing standing in a winter wonderland like that. I absolutely love it. It’s so peaceful and beautiful. I hope someday you get to experience it!

Glad you liked it! I had fun making it!
