I built this Bushcraft Belt Kit with surplus pouches to show you how you can make a solid reliable kit. #outdoorskills #outdoorsurvival #bushcraft #outdoorclothing #nature #survival #wilderness
Just some advice from an ex Brit soldier and a paramedic. 1. Change to a proper CAT tourniquet as the generic cheap ones fail too often. 2. As found wearing a belt kit without a yoke can cause pain to your hips after a period of time. Consider a yoke that would fit under armour just to spread weight. 3. Debatable topic but if you have a saw and knife do you really need the axe? 4. Carry your big bleed kit on your dominant side as you never injure the hand or arm that is carrying the blade. So this is still able to access the trauma kit of your TQ, gauze, and trauma bandage. 5. Cross load your fire and multi tool to pockets as you can lose your belt kit. Our motto was survive out of your pockets, live out of your belt kit (24hr), and sustain out of your pack. 3tier system. Just advice take it or leave it.
I'd leave it. This is a bush craft belt and sometimes you just need a hatchet. As for the knife if you were paying attention he had a much larger bushcraft knife on the other belt. The Mora is for feather sticks or game. I don't agree with a CAT if you aren't carrying a gun. Just more weight. Anytime your in the woods you should carry water and shelter just in case. Better to have it and not need it. 11B10
@@gopherstate777 And leave it is your choice. But lets unpack your response that didn't really add any advice just your opinion. My advice was for a generic environment and situation. All belt kits are a personal thing. The hatchet is really a one job tool where the knife and saw can cover multiple roles and a MORA can do just as well as a big bushcraft knife not just feather sicks and game that could be covered by a simple SAK in your pocket. The CAT or any other brand TQ is not just for ballistic injuries as a blade is just as able to open up a catastrophic bleed as a ballistic injury, think of the triangle of death in the abdomen and upper leg areas when using a blade. I carry a Parang in the tropical environment and they have a long sharp edge that can bite if not used correctly so I carry a TQ as first line to give me time to pack the wound and dress it then convert the TQ so as not to lead to limb damage. I live in a society that does not have the gun culture of yours but we still adhere to the ethos of big bleed management in the austere environment. But please understand that my advice and experience is from 40 years of military, medical, EMS, wilderness medical, and Paramedicine. But again take it or leave it but there is always a nugget of good information in everything you see, look for it and use it. Thank you.
Many years ago before I knew about CAT tourniquets I was carving and ended with the blade into the side of my thigh. Thankfully it wasn’t an arterial bleed. I run another channel where I do tactical scouting, called Northwest Scout. I’ve gleaned from the advice of many of my veteran subscribers.

I like the modified hatchet 🪓 pouch , I need to make one for my tomahawk . I use the 9mm double magazine style pouch for multi tool and whetstone or lighter .Kool customization.
You might want to rethink anything in the small of your back. One fall and you're looking at a nasty and lengthy hospital stay at best. There is a reason why most police aren't carrying anything there anymore.
All military belt kits will have sustainment pouches on the back of the belt. As long as it's flexible there shouldn't be a problem. You won't want a steel bar across your back, but things like ponchos and food won't hurt you.
@@bafumatnobody says you need military food packaging back there, again like previous poster said, its up to you what you want to put in that malleable pouch back there, i agree with things like emergency blankets, some cardboard matches, etc.
Also police sit in cars a lot so stuff on the back of the belt is uncomfortable. I know as I wear a low drag belt kit as a paramedic in an ambulance. Look at motorcycle cops they have stuff on the back of belts. Also a reason some police have drop leg holsters as it is more comfortable to wear in a car.

I really appreciate the advice! Very kind of you to share some of your knowledge! Definitely will make some changes to my kit!!

@@theshadowthie1 it was a joke about military food being shit. Maybe C your way out of the conversation if you can't keep up.

Good video. What brand camo sweatshirt is that. Thank you
It’s a Helikon-Tex heavy Patriot fleece in MTP camouflage. I don’t know if it’s made anymore.
