For an 83 year old Old Schooler like me, your common sense, clear explanations, dependable gear, experience, & skilled mind-set contribute to a COMPLETE PACKAGE! Thanks.
I like the smell of 'deuce gear' in the morning....smells like 30 years of blood, sweat and duty. Thanks Shawn for bustin' ALICE out of Valhalla and showing off her timeless usefulness from the battlefield to bushcraft. Semper Fi!
Over the years of watching you I have learned so much. People laugh at me for making my own survival kit. I buy something every once and awhile. I have a ton of stuff. Thanks for teaching us how to survive. You never know when you will need these things. Thanks
You will have the last laugh if shit ever hits the fan. Better safe than sorry. I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it
Ounces = pounds & pounds = pain! Do more with less!! Semper Fi
Completely agree. Reliable gear is important, but in some areas, you can go lightweight without too many complications. I do mix both 🫡
I decided to pay the $150 for one of the titanium canteen kits with some name stamped on it. Its one of my favorite pieces of kit. Love it!!
I use 90s British army gear for bushcraft I switch between a PLCE which is similar to this you have, I also have a large vest and chest rig from the same era. Brilliant gear from sides of the pond 😎💪🤜🤛
Corporal, Sir my wife just gifted me one of your limited edition Hardcore Hammer hatchets, I was thrilled that you had included a thank you note with the receipt, and also a band-aid! It is indeed sharp, arm hair shaving out of the box sharp! Well done Sir! I will be gifting these to my nephews and Godson as their age allows - again, well done! And thank you for all you do!
I utilize a H harness like that as well. The difference in my is the addition of ammo pouches, that are used for holding different things, first aid, fire starting and more.
Even not going into the field I carry a Bic and usually 2 pocket knives one lock blade and one 3 blade pocket knife. EDC
Respectfully, may I add some old school, lightweight nutritional item options? Jerky, tuna, peanut butter, dried fruit, quality trail mix, powdered Gatorade. Also (even though it's just a day hike) an extra pair of clean dry socks. Finally, a basic first aid kit with items to address the three most common minor medical issues out in the woods: 1. abrasions, cuts, and punctures, 2. skin burns and scalds from direct contact with flame or boiling water, 3. ankle sprains.
Thanks for this video, Corporal.
I always appreciate the unique perspectives you give. I like how the weight appears to be distributed differently in this combination as well. Thanks for keeping it real AF.
Back in the 80s we thru in a pack of life savers
Great video man. I've been watching you for almost as long as you've been doing this. Keep it up.
So simple it's mind boggling. Thank you sir for video. Keeping my eyes and ears open for your gear drop @ your store. Catch your next drop. Hope California wasn't too rough on ya. Glad you made it back home
Good point on food to eat w/o heating ! I'm really interested in the cord winder ! Looks like a great addition to a pack.
Thanks, Corporal, for your clear and concise videos.
I carry a israel style bandage in case of accidental, fall, knife cut. Pedialyte powder as the heat and humidity here can quickly cause a heat injury.
Still got my old LBE love it and my old ruck
A couple of other things to think about depending on your situation would be spare glasses and daily meds. A Fresnel or magnifying lens may work as a glasses substitute and a adhesive bandage or two would be good.
Great content as always. Where were you when I was in the forest service? From my SAR days and FS, my Silva Ranger compass had a cord to pass around a button hole or around my neck. A Buck 119 in stainless steel has now been replaced by a Mora in carbon steel. After dropping and losing the mora , it now has yellow duck tape on the handle. Luminous tape for a night marker on the sheath as well as more yellow duck tape. Now that I've worn off the numbers of my 70z Compas, it will be replaced,and the light cord will have survival cord a small fero-rod . For nav and fire starter.
HAHAHA seeing Spam reminds me of my Navy days, I used to keep a can of Spam and B&M Baked beans in the gun shack for when cooks screwed up meals (which they did often). Also why I never missed breakfast as it was hard to screw that up!!
Great video ! One suggestion : ditch those Y suspenders and get some Old H style , so much more comfortable
782 (deuce) gear! Best available for the era! Semper Fi fellow Corporal!
Nice video Corporal. I utilise a similar set of web-gear however, mine is Auscam H harness with canteen covers, butt-pack and pouches (small and large) all in Auscam. My canteen covers have a stove pocket and I pack a canteen cup. One thing that I carry extra is a small first aid kit with 2 snake bandages. I live in Australia, so it is wise to pack them.
Sunday seems like a good time for me to get to watch your midweek....you know I like" simple " so I'm with you on this load out. It's so hot here in Alabama a day hike needs to be done at night but it's really still too hot at night. Keep em' churning. Stay Kool.
Help out the algos guys.... set auto play on desktop computer, choose a playlist and let it rip...even if you're off to work! Play 'em ALL
“Knives and stabbing weapons!”
I see what you did there.
Terminator 2
Bravo!
Terminator: It can't form complex machines. Guns and explosives have chemicals, moving parts. It doesn't work that way. But it can form solid metal shapes.
John: Such as?
Terminator: Knives and stabbing weapons.
I have identical gear in my vehicle. Mine was issued in the USAF in the 1980s.
i was randomly looking through some of my old gear and i found all my write in the rain notebook i used for jungle school and 1 of the things in it was a list of all the required gear we were required to have for the 3 weeks out in the jungle mountains of central Hawaii. Pretty cool to look over that again
I took regular duct tape 2 in wide and wrapped it around my Bic lighters several times so I have my survival lighters. I made three of them, one in my pocket everyday, one in my go bag and one in my camping gear bag backpack. I also did the same thing with my ferro rods and the 1-in wide gorilla tape to make handles to hang on to the feral rods and have a fire extender right there.
I'm looking forward to an updated Alice Pack 3 day loadout for camping and/or wilderness trek.
Top video. I prefer my old issue "H" harness because it gives you the option of attaching an extra buttpack, bedroll straps, large med kit, etc... You can use the two spring snaps, or the Alice Adaptor designed for the "H" harness.
Perfect set up for a day in the woods.
Aside from using the old H style harness and a couple of different things, that's just what I used for ages.👍 Being an old school Ranger in the past, I still adhere to the old saying; "Travel light. Freeze at night.".😅
I'm still using the one I had in the Army in the 80's. Somehow, one of the canteens fell off and disappeared, cover and all. So, it looks strange with a brand new canteen cover on it while the rest is faded. The mag pouches I cut the straps out of and use for a variety of things, or if I'm playing "tactical", I can use them for what they were intended for. Only thing I've eliminated is the angle head flashlight. Just no need for one of those anymore with head lamps and compact flashlights available.
Pain is weakness leaving the body (nope). Pain is a VA disability entering your body. Semper Fidelis. 👍🍺👊🤘
We live in the tropics, some of our skeeters carry bad things such as malaria and dengue fever. For that reason, I would add a bug net and some form of repellant. We are currently in the rain/typhoon season so a fire might be problematic on many days. For water treatment when you can not make a fire, a simple filter to clarify water and some form of chemical treatment (tablets, iodine etc) would be found in our kits. Excellent presentation., thank you.
I still have mine when I got out still use it for the outdoors
Thanks for showing your Harness loadout. I was always wondering what all you carried. Nice, light weight and simple. Thanks, Corporal! Can't wait to see all your different loadouts from your old lists. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hell yeah, Shawn. I either found or bought my web gear; my rear pouch I bought, and it's woodland camo (for the win lol). I used it frequently in the field for my poncho only. Thanks for the blast from the past.
I love S.O.L. blankets for lightweight warmth! On my first time out Backcountry camping, transitioning from the canoe to land, my sleeping bag just touched the water.... I thought nothing of it until it was time to use the sleeping bag. I had luckily grabbed an SOL blanket for emergencies and it was awesome
Dehydrated foods can be cold soaked but they certainly are not at their best. Still better than being hungry. Good video, as usual. Thanks
cold soaked with creek water that isn't disinfected? I will just bring food that doesn't put me at risk
@@recall5811 Why would you use untreated water?? You should have drinking water at all times and if you don't you shouldn't be eating anything. I will just increase your thirst
Didn’t have a lighter for the grill, used the waxed wood shavings and a ferocieum rod. It was perfect the tinder burned long enough for the charcoal to start. I had never actually used it before, so part of it was wanting to see how well it works prior to using it when I need a fire.
Flashback: I clearly remember my butt pack packing. Our pl sgt really taught us SMART packing and what to carry in our pockets. To this day, his method ensured we had the basics a done or two “luxury items like socks and foot powder. We would split our “C” down ensuring the treasured B1 and B1A cans were quickly accessible
About 35 years ago that was my archery season deer hunting pack. I never thought of carrying 2 water bottles though.
Thanks for the video
See you Sunday.
Great Video. I will be using it to assemble kits for myself and wife to carry when hiking. Thank You
Somthing is wrong with youtube... Should have had way more views. This is my 3rd time watching this video. It's awesome!
I still use mine for scouting deer and hogs.
my harness, too....'77...army medic...makin me feel like old coot.....i'll take it!!👍👍
That Mora knife is a winner. I got one for myself and love it.
Nice
The LBE is a better system
than it gets credit for.
I like having 2 canteens full
of known pure water.
It's not always practical to stop
and boil or whatever, and the
expected water source may
not provide what was anticipated. I always have a
USGI poncho with me. One
of the most useful pieces of gear ever issued.
Thanks for the video
I'd add to mine....electrolyte power/salt/ w an E-mergency. Type powder.
After hiking in sun and getting depleted having that can really hit the spot.....being depleted screws with your mood and energy.....screwing with moral.
Excellent video, thank you. Webgear still holds its own... ain't no school like old school. I love your gear loadout in this video. Solid, no frills or gimmicks, reliable gear. Idiot resistant... (they are always inventing better idiots).
I would be very interested in seeing your old gear dumps from back in the day.
Thanks Corporal. Those Spool Tools are pretty handy.
I definitely like old school.
I'm sure I missed a previous video but can you do something on knife sharpening maybe using a good stone?
Dude, great idea. I just went down memory lane and checked the old green NCO book for my gear lists. 1999 3/3 81s.
Semper Fi
Excellent advice as always. Don't have a Military Harness but everything you mentioned fits nicely in a Safari Vest or Hi Viz Timber Cruisers vest. Used that once when I was stuck overnight in the bush because the chopper I had arranged to pick me up couldn't fly due to severe fog. Hunkered down under a tree, lit a fire, ate instant rice and corned beef and had an oxo cube hot drink. Safe, warm, dry and fed. The hi-viz vest was my signalling device. No problems whatsoever.
Terima kasih atas saran yang berharga ini dan semoga menjadi manfaat untuk waktu yang akan datang
Outstanding information on old school gear works every time.
Would love a new updated Urban & Rural Get Home Bag
Watching all content, i enjoy the wide range of content 😁
Good gear load out. Love the harness. Thanks for the midweek
Really like the old school stuff. Great
Sean, for the benefit of those who might not know, could you talk about the pistol belt and how it fits into the gear loadout ?
Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
As a 0317, I was issued that same carrying gear in 1988. I still like it to this day, and the only difference I made, is that I carried 2 of the two quart collapsible canteens.
I love this set up and I really want my own soon!
Wish you would have included a picture of little man in his cap n gown. Lots of us enjoyed the episodes you had him with you. Sorta got an investment in the little dude. ✌️
Cant wait to see. Semper fi
Oh yeah I love my combat harness and what I carried which paid off a few times and I agree 💯 with you my friend
Can't beat the classics .
I miss the late 90's minus the school shooting. I didn't know everything I know now or learned in 00's I didn't start multiday hiking till 2006.
My first long-distance hike (45 miles) I didn't know shit but I had everything. 20° sleeping bag in the middle of summer 🤣 insulated sleeping pad, multiple Nalgene bottles full of water, hand pump water filter, first aid kit, lighters, strikers, emergency fishing gear, snare traps and on and on. 75+ pounds of gear on my back. Heavy asolo leather boots, way to warm for the summer heat. Heavy synthetic "whicking" socks to help avoid blisters. Basically everything for "survival"
30 miles in, my heals were both giant blisters. My pack was 30lbs to Heavy with shit I didnt need.
When I got to the end of the trail, my socks and shoes were full of blood.
I learned a hundred things from the internet about long distance back packing, listened to none of it, bought and packed everything I "thought" I might need. I did that hike again, the next year, with a lightweight tarp, cordage, a sleeping bag, an inflatable pillow, one can of fuel, a msr stove, a plastic fork, a hiking pot for boiling water, a water filter and freeze dried food.
really good video. Enjoyed the hell out of it. I always take about 800 calories worth of life boat rations as well as "real food" like you suggest. I was a boy scout & I still remember "be prepared." Also, have you ever seen Onewind's rain skirt? It's sil nylon & wraps around your waist & protects you all the way to the ground without having to take off your boots & screw around with a pair of rain pants. I used to use visqueen & duct tape to do the same thing but this skirt is just a tiny package & it cinches up really easily around the waist plus it's much quieter.
Outstanding Devil Dog
Thanks for another great video, Corporal Kelly! Always helpful and entertaining
Awesome video like the back to basics. You out did yourself like always. Keep doing what you do and like always Semper Fi brother
Nice and simple. I carry a kit close to this out on dirt bikes. Light and small.

Hey I know you get a lot of hate; want you to know there’s a lot of us silent guys who watch and appreciate your work. Thanks for working hard!!! 🇺🇸
Keep up the great job on the vids!!!!
In the 80's , the beef patty, freeze dried, was better dry. Like a jerky.
Hey Shawn - I love cooking to your Sunday videos. I usually cook breakfast during and you usually cook something similar. Consider my humble suggestion with some campfire tacos perhaps? Something Mexican. That'd be cool to see what you come up with on the good ol campfire. Thanks, that's all
Spam and rice.... well it doesn't have as much spam in it😂
