Nice!! I borrowed the Banshee for a little while and can totally agree with your testaments to it. It was just a bit too large for my liking...The Renegade fits me like a glove though. Steve sure knows how to make a great knife!

Thanks, my friend! We need to do an Überleben "Behind The Lens" soon :)

"Dude wipes" all the way (or the Great Value/cheapo versions of them)! I keep a zip-lock bag of them in my pack now.

LOL! Yeah, these setups are definitely not the cheapest sometimes. The best route is to slowly acquire good gear, save up & ask for things for your birthday/holidays/etc. Also, it's worth mentioning, I still use a lot of the gear I've shown in this video, all of these years later...So, it's built to last :) Maybe I'll have to do a "Best Budget Haversack" video at some point as well...It's always fun to maximize the 'ole dollar on a solid setup! Thanks for watching & commenting!

Thanks so much, Kevin! I'm so glad you're enjoying them. Have a great upcoming weekend, man!

@@m4jqp thanks so much for watching!! I actually got my start in the Everyday Carry industry as well (I worked for a company that, primarily, created wallets). It’s so much fun getting out here and finding the perfect shots…I’ll keep your requests in mind for future videos 🤙🏼📸

@@RikkiHernandez thanks, man!! As you know…The behind the scenes always looks a lot different than the finished product, lol 👊🏼📸

@@AlexWander thanks, Alex! I appreciate it, man 😀👊🏼

Thanks for watching and for the kind words!! I really do appreciate it 😀

I hope you enjoy the videos, man! It’s gonna be fun 🙌🏼

🤜🏼🤛🏼

Thanks, Bill! I appreciate, man.

I've been a big fan of the LOCHBY stuff! Stay tuned in the coming months - I'll have more of their stuff popping up :)

I've had no issues with the Geopress leaking...Even in the horizontal bottle carrier here. Thanks for watching!

I'll pass this along in my next conversation with Grayl. Great idea!

Yes - That's a great add-on for the outside! I've started doing a gorilla tape wrap + waxed hemp-rope wrap, as well as a ranger band to hold it all down. Great additions for fire + repair!

Thanks for checking it out! These smaller ferro rods can take a bit of practice to get good at...But, hopefully this video helps people with some useful techniques :)

It really is so good!!

I can totally hear ya on price - I like some expensive gear...But, I always like to have good budget-friendly options around too. Check out these options: • Helikon-Tex Bandicoot and Possum. I have attached shock cord to these to hold my bottle before and it works well-enough to get ya by. • Blue Ridge Overland Gear Bum Bag XL. I love the "Bum Bag" line from BROG. And I'm using the XL a lot this year. Those recommendations aren't identical to the Grayl Bottle Lock Hip Pack...But, hopefully it'll give ya some other good options to take a peek at.

@@AnthonyAwaken It's a cool looking hip pack, don't get me wrong. It's just that it's easily double the $$ of commensurate hip packs from top end manufacturers like M.R., Osprey, Mountainsmith etc. I myself have been known to go in for a high priced item here or there but generally try to reserve that for products that are novel or U.L. and spending double on a hip pack to get a few gear loops on the bottom doesn't fit the bill IMO.

I just received one and instantly have buyers’ remorse. Its quality and volume in NO WAY justifies its price.

This has been my favorite Kevlar Cord: amzn.to/4an5Z9R I've owned a couples of large roles of it now and have had great success with it in a wide variety of applications.

Fantastic tip! I need to add some aluminum foil back into my kit...I always use it and forget to replenish it, lol. Thanks for the reminder :)

Thank you so much! That means a ton to hear.

I can't remember the exact weight of this kit. But, these days I try to keep my haversack loadouts light (5-8lbs max). I've noticed if I carry much more than that in a haversack it can get uncomfortable.

Thanks so much, man!

I would watch the full sharpening vid! Something I need to get better at!

Oh yeah, man!! Ale8 is always close at hand :)

Awesome to hear!! This would definitely be a fantastic day-back for hunting trips...I agree with that. Best of luck on your upcoming hunts :)

Awesome!! Thank you so much. As for the light - That is the Fenix E-Lite. It, unfortunately, looks like they've discontinue it now. That was a fantastic clip-on light for packs like this.

Yes - This is a Mini BIC Lighter. It fits a bit better in the "5th Jean Pocket" than the full-size BIC's.

Thanks so much!! I'm glad you dig it!

They do great work, man!
