I show you how to cross a river with a rucksack by using 2 trash bags and 550 cord. Always stow your trash bags under the flap of the rucksack in case it rains and for easy access.
Not only teaches how to seal it and secure it, also demonstrates and shows the results of the work done. Well done man, hope this vid spread like wildfire, this is gold
Super cool. Never thought about using two garbage bags. I was taught to use the bivy bag, and wrap 550 cord around it like a present. Beaner to sling to 550 cord and swim with rifle ready to go. New issued bivy bags we get have a zipper that runs half way, so this is a great alternative.
Great tutorial thanks, I used a variation of this to do an ocean swim around a obstacle on a recent hike. Also really impressed by your reference to Archimedes' Law!!
This is ONE way to waterproof your rucksack. The intent here is to cross on an individual basis and getting it done quickly compared to the “poncho raft”. That requires more time, 2 rucksacks, 2 ponchos and 2 PAX.

Thank you! I always want to put things to the test before sharing. It's the right thing to do!
I love how your videos is just pure useful information, but it's not a bit hard to consume it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you. I have a few inlet crossing swims coming up with a heavy pack and this really helped. Have a great day mate.
You’re welcome! Anytime!

Very informative. I appreciate the info
Awesome camera work while swimming. Great job.
Thanks! Wasn’t easy, I had to swim out, reposition the drone, get back in the water and swim again for every different angle shot. 😄

Thanks! Simple law to understand and apply 👍🏼
Great video tbh I didn’t expect the ruck floatation device to support both you in the ruck sack but you pulled it off🔥
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback! Yeah, some basic physics. Even if your ruck is super heavy, it will generally float.
Very nice video! Quality and content 10/10.
Thank you! 😀
this will come in handy, thank you
You're welcome! It's pretty fun too lol
Well done sir!
Thanks! 😀
Thanks
Nice
What happened to the old school poncho raft? Two soldiers, two ponchos, some 550, done. Gen z uses trash bags. 😂

incroyable monsieur
how strong is that polymer frame,Pous?
Can you make the same video using a poncho?
You are correct. There is a way however I haven't learned how to do it yet. Once I do, I'll make a video.
I thought is was done with two ponchos
I have a friend who told me about that too however I was never officially taught. Once I learn how to do it right, I'll make a video.
Is there not a dry bag that comes issued with the rucksack?
I think a couple of empty 5-quart canteens filled with air would also help with this.
No. No dry bag comes with it. You get issued wet weather bags separately.
The dry bag keeps the contents of the pack dry, it doesn't help you with the soggy pack you've gotta put on your back on the other side of the river
Hilarious, try this in a river that is actually flowing
Depends on how much current you’re talking about. This is one option among many. You’re probably thinking of a different situation.
