Greetings from U.S.A. Good video. Great kit man. Stay strong, stay safe. Enjoy life to the fullest. Very good selection of items. I learned from your video. Thank you!
I have something similar to that but what I did was make a battle belt with pistol holster, mag pouches two AR-15 mag pouches flashlight and multi tool pouch. I also attached a large pouch which carries basic survival items, cored, esbit stove, poncho, wire cutters, tape, etc. and a water pouch with water bottle & water filter. i also have attached a military IFAC kit. I created the battle belt in case i'm bugged in and have to venture outside for water or other supplies in my urban area. oh fire stating gear of course. thanks for sharing
It's always a trick carrying what you think you want. My kit and carry has changed these past 3 years. My chest rig is for ammo in the States. You might get rid of the bulk by switching to combination closed flap AR/AK pouches and remove those utility pouches. I would get a US GI belt and put those utility pouches on that and attach it to your Bergen by sewing on paracord or webbing and buckles to make for quick access. I would add a GI water bladder over your rig. That to can be positioned under the Bergen cover flap horizontally for use and access in case you have to bin the bergen. Here in the states my rig is for ammo and knife. I use an ALICE web belt and pack. I replaced the frame so a Molle 2 hip belt can be used. The issue frame is short and has a kidney pad. On the medium ALICE pack US GI sustainment pouches can be added on either side of the medium pack, not the large. Thanks for sharing your vid.
my gosh i did not expect you to bring out that many items i was amazed to see how much you fit in your rig. that's awesome you have everything just about on your person, very smart rig.
Thanks, that is exactly the whole idea - to have every thing I need(the priorities of survival) on my person in case I drop or cache my pack. I know of people who have had their pack go into the river or roll off a mountain, and then they're totally screwed, not going to happen to me for sure. The best thing is this rig is not too big, it doesn't have 20 pouches, it is small enough to wear all the time when I'm in the bush, with or without my backpack.
I'm actually very impressed! I do have my qualms about over redundancy and kit organization, but I really enjoyed this. The idea of a survival kit built into a chest rig/plate carrier is really cool. That's not something you generally see in American survival circles. Can't wait to try this for myself
Great job on getting ALL of that in your Tier 2. And I like the idea of different Tiers for different situations. I just might do that. Thanks for the great vid!!!
Thanks for sharing buddy. Very thorough and well presented clip. I've gotten some great hints and tips. I'm definitely copying your pack system. I like how this can have essential gear and be strapped to your front, while having a backpack for other gear, so the load is distributed well while all being very customisable. I think i might add the 5.11 Rush 24 backpack so the set will be complete. Cheers!
The biggest flaw with this kit, is the stuff in the mag pouches not being dummy corded onto the webbing. You take one good spill down a small hill, and there goes everything in those pockets unless they're tied to you.
great vid, I've been into camping since i can remember but a buddy of mine in cadets we have been doing more camping in this last year and this was very useful as I'm getting a vest.
Also just a reminder about woven paracord - it'll never ever be useful unless you want to burn it, or wipe your ass with it. Once you weave it it'll keep those bends for an eternity and turn it into useless nonsense. Couldn't help but notice your boonie band; if you want para cord to survive wrap it around a piece of card or something else.
first of all, great video, just my thoughts, i think if you are going for a survival rig, an LBE or a molle belt would be better at distributing weight
It is better to have too much food, water and fire starters than a gun. Once the Ammo is gone, you have no real use it. You can usually get more food - fishing and trapping - water - rivers, lakes - fire starters - all around you. Ammo no gun stores around. This is from an American. Having a Gun is good, but don't make it part of you Bag unless it is absolutely necessary.
Outdoor Mississippi We can own guns in Australia. Just not semi automatic ones. Basically, limited to lever and bolt action in rifles. He says he doesn’t do gun videos so I’m assuming he is not s gun owner. There are plenty of sport and rifle hunters in Australia though.
Just be aware I looked up the baofeng radio and it seems like they and similar non 40-80ch uhf radios are banned here, might want to check before outing up vids about it to avoid charges being laid
I am just checking to see if you have made a new video yet, I guess I will have to be patient a bit longer:) I hope everything is well with you. Take care
antman29able Yes, I have made more video's, however I just had a very recent new addition to the family, so my video's and some other stuff is on hold for a little as I devote more time to them. When things settle down a bit I'll be posting the work that I've done.
Mate this is just an amazing set up! Thank you very much for taking the time to video it and share it with us. If you don't mind, may I ask a question? I see you have a UST Blastmatch. I usually have the main use of my left hand as my right and is always on my walking stick. I know the Blastmatch is one hand use, my question is, two part: 1/ What is your opinion of the Blastmatch and 2/ does it take much force to actually push down and push in the striker, is it easy enough? Thank you.
Firstly thanks for the positive comments, I really appreciate it. Regarding the UST Blastmatch, it doesn't take a lot of force to press in the striker button part, it is fairly easy once you get used to it, so I recommend that you practice at home first before you need it in any kind of survival situation. It works pretty well for a few reasons; firstly the size of the ferro-rod is quite large, secondly because of the design and technique it places the sparks right in the center of the tinder with very little affecting the overall performance. Note: I have seen these fail in a survival situation- after extended heavy use the ferro-rod broke because of incorrect use, so you need to be careful with them and use them correctly. Are you aware of the one handed way of using almost any fire steel? What you do is grab a multitool blade, a knife-back or a large striker(the multitool blade works best), you place your foot on the multitool and using one hand pull the fire steel back against the blade or striker just above your tinder(you can use a small log or cut piece of wood under the multitool to raise it above the tinder a bit. I hope this info helps.
Wow, awesome. Thank you very much for all of the feedback mate. Really appreciate it. Looking forward to more videos as and when you get time. Keep us updated. Thank you mate.
Hey desertcommandomaster, thanks a lot for the Video!! a well thought out Kit , as I know it from you !! Nice Features in it :) I'm, looking for such a MS2000, but her in Germany sometimes it's hard to get one for a reasonable price...at the Moment I made some Price proposals to some Dealers.. the SP128 is a great Piece for such a kit :) regards Steffen After our last Posts in the 72h-bugOut-Bag- Video, I owned some other stuff to arrange two kits that are comfartable for me .. remembered some of your tips/advises and time by time I tested this and that and so my gear for longer/shorter packages seems to be nearly ready.... for now :) Made a US-Set, a british PLCE-Set and a german -BW-Set with some austrian/swiis parts.. Get off the US ALICE-Pack and some other gear and went to the PLCE Rucksacks and british gear , which works partly more convenient for me.. the german-BW-Gear is already in test-phase
Good on you Steffen, it sounds like you are starting to have a really good set up, I know the British packs and Bergen's are really comfortable and hard to beat, I would be interested in seeing pics or a video of your gear. I used to sell the MS2000 wholesale to a military suppliers, but I'm all out of stock, I think I only have one or two left which I'm keeping. But if I see a cheap MS2000 I'll let you know. As always thanks for your comments, they're always welcome.
desertcommandomaster hi thank you for the fast Response :) in the morning I got a acceptance from a dealer. So I can get the MS2000 for 65Euros plus shipping costs.. It's the best Price at the Moment. New distress marker, unused... I hope, that this item is really ok :) Video making ist not one of my strenghts,but when I have my gear arranged, I will make photos!!! ( a german "Fernspäher-Set/reconnaissance kit is nearly complete, but I will try to round up my outdoor gear based on PLCE) regards
Steffen K. In Australia the MS2000 sells for about AUD$100 at the moment plus shipping which is a bit cheaper than what you're paying, I just thought that I would let you know. When you get the chance it would be cool to see some pictures of your kits and equipment.
desertcommandomaster Oh, that seems to be a good Price. Here the sellers got new Batches of the MS2000 and they try to sell them for about 79 - 119 Euros :( plus shipping 5,90 - 9Euros.. So I called one of them and suggested 65, and I wondered when he said "yes".. Now I'm waiting for the delivery :) Pictures are in Progress. ;)
desertcommandomaster Hi, MS2000 arrived yesterday :) What a great piece of gear !!! Thanks again for reminding me, I forgot the Ditsress Marker due to all other gear I've searched :):) atb Steffen
Hey mate, just happened to stumble upon your video. I just had a couple of questions and points of consideration on possibly improving your kit. 1. It seems like you have quite a bit of kit (which is good), however wouldn't a small day pack serve you better? There are a lot of little nick nacks, which are great, and they have been compartmentalised to some extent which is great, but if you were to go for your combat dressing you will spill half your kit. A little day pack with zippered sections seems like the better option. 2. You have got some meds which is awesome. I noticed you have cut the packaging down so they would fit in the canister, might I suggest writing the expiry date with a sharpie or something similar so you know when to chuck them out and replace. Also there is the obvious, use on yourself but not on others, or you will open yourself up to a whole bunch of liability issues. 3. As a bug out option, doesn't the chest rig sort of make you stick out? If I was bugging out because of a disaster the last thing I would want is to flaunt the fact that I may have some useful resources and make myself an unnecessary target. Again this brings me back to the point 1 where I think a small day pack will serve you better. I understand that chest rigs look cool, but in a bug out situation, isn't survival the number one consideration? 4. Some of the items you have are "issued" but just as easily picked up from a surplus store. Do you have military experience? Generally in my chest rig I would have magazines, gloves, toggle rope, small trauma kit, multitool, knife, light, notepad, writing equipment, nav equipment, a small survival kit and water and everything else in a pack. Some times I would rock a large field pack, sometime a small day pack, I had most of my kit in my pack and some mission essentials in my webbing so when I dumped my pack and couldn't recover, I still had something. Again, I might suggest a small pack. 5. If you are looking to keep your chest rig, might I suggest replacing the triple magazine shingle with some more pouches. realistically the only people with magazines that will fit those pouches are military, police or some primary producers. Most civilians do not have access to gas operate rifles with 30 round magazines. Those shingles are too small to hold or water bottle or anything and if you have some other kit, because they are not secured by a flap or zip they will fall out if you are running, upside down or crawling. The only thing those pouches are good for are holding 30 round mags or something of equivalent shape and size. 6. I noticed you have an IR Chem light, its a bit useless unless you have NVGs aren't they? Wouldn't classic green, red, blue and white chem lights serve you better? 7. The saying "Two is one, one is none" is true, you have backups of backups of lights, multitools etc. The one problem I see is that they are all in your chest rig. If you have to dump your rig for whatever reason, if you lose it or if it is taken from you, you have lost quite a bit of kit. This is why, in the Army, one person does not carry everything, the stores are divided among the group. Having a whole bunch of kit in your chest rig and not splitting it around seems like placing all your egg in one basket to me. 8. Belt rigs while they don't look as "Tactical Operator" are great at distributing weight, are comfortable, have plenty of space, are comfortable when a pack is worn and will hold all your gear. The army transitioned to chest systems because it is easier to get in and out of vehicles, get through doorways and such however if you ask anyone thats been in a few years for going out into the bush nothing beats a belt rig.
G'day mate, what an essay, you have a lot of valid points and some great suggestions. You obviously have some experience in the subject, which is rare around CZcams. I do use a small day pack a Camelbak HAWG, when I'm not carrying my Camelbak Motherlode. I use the chest rig for the exact same reason as enlisted men - to easily get in and out of my vehicle, I also use it when tracking and hunting and when I'm 4x4ing I'm in and out of the vehicle all the time. I'm working on a better compartmentalization of my chest rig with small pouches, so things don't fall out when accessing it and I might change out the triple mag shingle even though I'm happy with it at the moment. I've tested it out in the field repeatedly and I haven't lost anything. Most items are a duplication or an alternative of items in my bug-out bag, so if I lost it or had to ditch it, I will still have all the essential items on my person. This is also why I have a chest rig so if I am being pursued in a bug-out scenario, I could ditch or cache my BOB and still have the important stuff. If I had to ditch both my BOB and my chest rig, I carry my SAS survival kit SAS E&E Survival Tin - Kit in my cargo pocket or in a pouch on my belt with my SRK Cold Steel SRK Carbon V Mod With Sheath Survival Fire & Fishing Kit. Having a team or a squad to share the load is great in a perfect world, but SHTF is exactly that, I live in the country and the other members of my team live over a large area, so I have to make sure that I can take care of myself without any support, until members of my team can get together. With a decent jacket my chest rig is fairly well concealed at least until viewed up close or with optics. I have an IR chem stick for use with my NV equipment, you're correct it would be useless if I didn't have NVG's. I usually write the expiry on my meds(they are only for my personal use), I always do on my water-purification tabs, however they are swapped out/rotated regularly. I have a belt kit with awesome padding it's great, I used it for the longest time, but I find the chest rig comfortable. I might split things up a bit between a belt kit and my chest rig I'll see how I go. Thanks for your comments.
desertcommandomaster Good on ya mate, you seem like you have your head screwed in well. There are two latin saying that I try to keep in mind in everything I do: In Omnia Paratus (In all things prepared) Semper Paratus (Always Prepared) US Marine General Mattis once said "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet." If we apply this to civilian life, we can see it as live your day to day lives as any "normal" person would but always have an exit plan. *walk into a building and see where/how many exits there are, if there is a fire are you one of those sheep who will be crushed trying to squeeze out the way you came in because that is the only exit you know or are you the one who can get your family/loved ones to safety because you planned ahead?" I wrote an essay, but I was in no way having a go at you *sorry if it sounded that way*. I live in the city so instead of bugging out the situation would probably be getting home and then staying put, however for the same reasons as you I always keep my webbing and pack in the car with food and water provisions to last a week, maybe more if I decide to go Jenny Craig and ration it out. For your purposes I think SORD's 4x40mm grenade pouches would be great! They don't take up too much space BUT have small pockets with a flap for you to separate your kit and keep it secure. When I don't have rounds, I use mine to separate my chocolate bars from my chocolate spreads hahaha. Anyways have a good one buddy. Keep it up.
The only thing I would change is Do you have a knife to dig a hole why do you need a poo shovel get rid of it and you could put other items in I would suggest your ration water buy the small packs Better shelflife easier to store and you could problem carry more I would say your first dating just change those wipes out go half Iodine wipes / Alcohol prep pads
Hey mate, great kit. I swear that first bag is like a tardis, things just kept coming out of it. what is it youve been doing that you go so remote, as you said?
Righto, fair enough if it serves a purpose for you. I'm subscribing because I'm hoping to see you and your equipment in the field. I've been putting together a bag over some time now. And found I struggled with weight out in the bush. How much does your vest and pack weigh combined? And would love to know where you got some of your gear. Eg snare pack and water filter bag.
Great set-up good thinking takes a lot of items out of a pack I've been building a bug out bag but the weight is overwhelming don't know how reasonable of a bug out bag would really be unless it's for a hurricane look for a world events I'm going to have to rely on some new found religion
nice kit as usual. I am building my kit along the same lines as yours. 1 EDC, 2 Chest rig (using a Ribz pack) camelbak, 3 Assault pack from a FILBE and 4 the rest of the FILBE. your set up gives me ideas on how to split it all up. Thanks!!!
Thanks your welcome, that's great if you got some ideas on how to organize and separate the gear, what's important is that you have at least one of each key essential items in each TIER eg: first-aid, shelter, fire, water and maybe a little food(in that default order), with the smallest items in your EDC TIER I, small items in your TIER II and the luxury, comfortable and larger items in your TIER III and/or TIER IV. The FILBE is a solid looking system, thanks for your comment.
Mate you have all the gear and I respect that. And like your vids. But for god sake stop calling yourself, "Dessert commando master" ( That translates to me, I am a Wanker) Sorry. How about Ozzie Bug Out Bugga......😂👍🏻
Mate, just so you know desertcommandomaster doesn't actually mean anything, it was just 3 random words that I put together for an email address to stop spam back when the spam filters were total shit and I was getting a hundred or more spam every single day, I just couldn't be bothered changing it until recently. It doesn't matter what someone calls themselves it's the quality of the gear, the info and the videos. If I knew how to edit the audio on the videos I would. To be honest, I didn't think anyone would give a shit about what I called myself as it didn't mean anything to me.
I almost got into trouble on one of my social media platforms. PETA took my name the wrong way. They didnt like the name badlands pussystabber. They thought I was an animal abuser. Lol
You have some really interesting items I've not seen before. I love that survival mirror, I think that's a fantastic piece of kit. But anyways, I was just wondering what your philosophy of use is for this set up. I can tell that it's definitely survival/bug out related,but do you take this rig with you on bushcraft trips or is it more intended for emergencies?
+Zach Lutes Thanks, even though it is a bugout survival rig I do take it with me every time I go to the bush, hunting, tracking, camping whatever, most of my gear is setup in this way, not just for bugging out but so I can use it for camping, hunting etc. it helps ensure that I know what's in everything and the items are well maintained, re-stocked and most important of all useful or necessary, because if you don't use something regularly you get sick of carrying it and it gets taken out. The main idea with this chest rig is that if my main pack has to be ditched in a bugout scenario or it goes over a cliff or down the river, or if I leave camp without my main pack I still have the essential items for survival, in fact I have a lot more than the essential items. I also use this setup because when I'm 4-wheel driving, hunting or tracking I'm in and out of the vehicle all day, the chest rig allows me to keep some essential gear on my body including communication, were if I was using a day pack it has to be taken on and off relentlessly which gets real old real fast and risks getting left behind or forgotten.
Wow that's excellent.I want to get a chest rig and gun belt so i can more evenly distribute weight around my body, because i really don't like over-sized backpacks stuffed to the brim.
+Zach Lutes I forgot to mention the most inspiration for my bugout chest rig and that is the famous or infamous Bravo Two Zero, the British SAS mission during the Gulf war in Iraq where the members of Bravo Two Zero were compromised and they had to bugout in order to save their lives. They each carried a huge Bergen full of kit which weighed an absurd amount and each soldier had a belt kit. When they bugged-out they had to ditch their Bergen's and they were only able to grab a couple of items out of their packs before ditching them and in the process forgetting some of the most important items, which left them with only a few items, their belt kit and weapons. They were then caught in one of the worst ever storms, some got separated and one member of the group died and all but one of the rest (Chris Ryan) were captured by the enemy. I realised that even the most highly trained professionals sometimes have to bugout and that when you bugout you can't necessarily take your backpack or Bergen with you, you might only be able to take what is on your person or attached to your body in some way. The SAS and other special forces have it all figured out so who am I to re-invent the wheel, I'm just putting more survival based items in my chest rig instead of ammo. If there is a possibility that I will have to bugout, I put my chest rig on and have my Bergen ready, if I'm going to war I do the same as the SAS and fill it with ammo.
+Zach Lutes Chest rigs are primarily designed for use with a vehicle of some sort, if your system doesn't involve a vehicle a belt kit will suffice, they also provide a little more comfort and space for extra pouches.
hi there, I like your kit, it is very informational, one question though the iPood Shuffle, where did you get that?, I have a kit very similar to yours that I carry in the back of my truck for emergencies and that little shovel it is very impressive, but I looked for it on eBay here in the US and I can't seem to find it, where did you get yours?
The one in this video is now considered obsolete(It still works however the frequency it transmits on is only used by aircraft and military and is not monitored for emergencies anymore and therefore it is not fit for purpose). I have replaced it with a SPOT Satellite Messenger Emergency Rescue Beacon Locator which works great and allows me to let people know that I'm okay when in remote bushland with no mobile service.
I'm just a bit confused on what you use all this for? For extreme camping, hiking, etc it seems very practical, but what about the facepaint? That confuses me the most
+BigL I'm not sure that I could have said it better myself, I didn't respond to this dude 'Sean Gordon' (is this his name for real?) because I don't think that I could have done it without hurting his girly feelings. Thanks for your comment you cracked me up.
+BigL Do you even know how long the United States have had it's debt? So now, all of a sudden, everyone's going to lose their shit, just because there's 'economic hard times' may I ask, what do you think of 9/11?
nice vid mate also loved your bug our bag one as well just a couple of questions are you ex military, what type of scenario are you planing for, because ir lights and glow sticks isnt really survival
Thanks, I'm planning for a variety of different scenario's because who really knows what will happen and how bad things will get, so I plan to be ready for anything. IR and night vision devices are great for survival, especially if your survival depends on not being noticed or the need to move and operate at night.
Do you have night vision devices? can you do a video on them? also wouldn't defensive items be more important? nice rig tho. my tier 2 is a battle belt and is more combat oriented
Ninjabombify Yes I have Night vision devices however I kind of keep that area along with the defensive items to myself for reasons of OPSEC, besides there are thousands of Americans that have done video's with that kind of gear with most of it much better than what I have here in Australia.
@@AussieBushman i knew it you've got unlicensed illegal guns and ammo that's why you don't do gun vids or show that you carry ammo on your vest 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How do you manage to get knives if you're in Australia? I'm in QLD and I want to get a Mora from BronzeMoon but I don't know if they will get seized by customs. How do you get around this? Great video's too, really cool to see what you have.
That's a good question, please note: I'm not a lawyer and I don't live in QLD. If you want a more specific answer, I need to know exactly what knife you want to buy and where you want to buy it from, I also suggest that you ask a QLD knife collector for help, they will have a better understanding of your situation in QLD. The answer to your question is complicated and is dependent on the exact type of knife. - I think you might be mainly talking about the new laws in QLD which basically made almost all folding knives illegal to possess, this is a state issue so you need to a) have a valid legal reason to own and/or possess the knife and b) make sure that the folding knife cannot be opened with one hand(so tighten the screw really well to avoid this). Regarding importing folding knives, some regular single edged folding knives can be seized if they open too easily, so you need to have the supplier tighten the screw before sending you the knife and you just loosen it again when you receive it(but in your case I suggest leaving the screw tightened to avoid prosecution). If the knife you want to import is a single edged fixed blade knife, then there is almost no problem, if it's a dagger you need a permit to import and also permission to own from the police(this depends on which state your in), you also need a permit to import a lot of other knives, I've imported knives with no problems and then all of a sudden customs seizes the next shipment of exactly the same knife they approved last time, this is because it is up to the individual customs officer to interpret the law, which is ridiculous. Again, I really need to know exactly what knife you want to buy and where you want to buy it from, and I still suggest that you ask a QLD knife collector for advice. I hope that I have helped you a bit and thanks for your comments.
They are all single edged fixed blade knives, these are all legal to import, and I'm almost certain that they're also legal to own in QLD, however I still recommend that you ask a QLD knife collector just to be on the safe side.
On top of that, that's a completely useless shovel, why does he have anything but first aid shit in his first aid bag, and what good is an inferred flash light when only someone wearing Google can see it? Dump half his shit, get a real shovel (I chop wood with mine), a bigger knife, and a folding solar panel. Oh, and add a camelback to the loadout.
I believe in being prepared for emergencies but when/if TSHTF as we are to suspect no amount of gear will save anyone long term. The keys to survival lie in strong community and unity.
Try looking at army disposals the one I use for my CZcams profile picture is off one of auscam long sleeve army shirts that I brought from army disposals
Very quiet, was good at first when you were beside camera, as soon as you went to the kit, it was very faint, I could tell there was audio but couldn't understand it, too quiet
Guns in Australia are either reserved for farmers, sporting shooters, security guards or collectors. It is not legal in Australia to own a gun fro self defence nor do we have a right to bear arms. This will not change.
That's a good question, Probably the best knife for skinning and survival use would be the Frost Mora Companion in stainless steel because it's razor sharp out of the box, it's easy to clean after skinning an animal and you don't have to worry about rust. Where to get one, search on eBay item number 270859859916, if you want a cheaper version which is almost identical for $22 including postage eBay item number 181485278118 this one is the Bahco Mora Knife 2444 it's the same thing just in orange, That's my recommendation for you.
@@volthunter3 you want cheap buy it from China you want it to last and not fail and be a good product spend more money buy quality European, US or Aussie made...
Oscar Fricke Thanks, I would recommend the SORD chest rig 100%, this is down-right the best rig I've ever had and I've tried many different styles and models, the SORD is small and compact enough so I can still wear my pack at the same time while on infil and exfil in and out of the bush, it is also great to wear while hunting and 4x4ing which requires getting in and out of the vehicle all the time, with the SORD you don't have to take it off, just slip your pack off and keep your chest rig on, this also ensures that you have the most important gear on your person at all times. I've tested it in all types of terrain including really steep bush and it's fantastic, it stays close against my body and is cool and comfortable(if I want even more ventilation I just fold the bib down). There is also heaps of modular attachments and configurations. The only downside of the rig is getting it on and off, you can use the main strap clips if needed, but I prefer to just un-clip the back strap and slip it over my head, I know a few guys who don't like having to slide it over your head, I think it's a matter of personal preference, I think all the positives out way that one possible negative. One thing is for sure I'm sticking with this for the future.
Absolutely, that's the whole idea, I have worn my Tier 1 (EDC), 2 (chest rig) and 3 (bug-out bag) together on my recent trips to Mt Solitary and Acacia Flat, when I arrive at our campsite I leave my Tier 3 in my tent and just carry my Tier 1 (always with me) and my chest rig through the duration of the trip.
I will upload some more video's real soon, I've just had a new addition to the family so I've been a bit busy. I'm not a member of that facebook group..
***** I don't discuss guns and ammo on my channel for reasons of OPSEC, besides there are plenty of Americans and a few Aussies who take care of that stuff.
+Aussie Bushman (desertcommandomaster) we need more Aussies talking about firearms, apparently the Australian senate won't let up on the firearms restrictions because they feel it will cause a public panic even though they admitted there is no other reason not to, so the more the public knows the less they can keep using that piss poor excuse. there is absolutely no reason I should not be allowed to own an AR-15 other than it is illegal. I can 99% guarantee, it will not get stolen and 100% guarantee i will not miss use it. and on the theft issue even the military cannot guarantee their weapons will not be stolen as they have been ripped off a few times before, thats how the bikie gangs have military weapons. i have also been offered on more than one occasion a stolen police pistol. these incidents don't get reported because they don't want to alarm the public. in fact private firearms storage is safer than the police and military, because the criminals know where the police and military firearms are, they don't know where mine are.
What was the name of the water filtration bag? I really had problems hearing it.. Sounded like mil back bag. I want one, so if anyone could tell me i would be glad :D
the whole video I was waiting on the kitchen sink to come out. shit. you could build a city with tjis shit. and you obviously forgot a hatchet. tell me your bug out bag comes with 4 walls and a bath tub?
There's actually a Australian prepper,more of my kind :)
I'm not alone in my love of survival/bushcraft! Great vid bud, love your take on being prepared in the Aussie bushland.
Greetings from U.S.A. Good video. Great kit man. Stay strong, stay safe. Enjoy life to the fullest. Very good selection of items. I learned from your video. Thank you!
G'day from down under, thanks mate it's great to hear such positive comments, I appreciate it.
I have something similar to that but what I did was make a battle belt with pistol holster, mag pouches two AR-15 mag pouches flashlight and multi tool pouch. I also attached a large pouch which carries basic survival items, cored, esbit stove, poncho, wire cutters, tape, etc. and a water pouch with water bottle & water filter. i also have attached a military IFAC kit. I created the battle belt in case i'm bugged in and have to venture outside for water or other supplies in my urban area. oh fire stating gear of course. thanks for sharing
You fool now when SHTF you'll be a target for your equipment 😂😂
Hey mate, how are you? Hope you are well?! Hope to see you back on CZcams soon! Let us know. Warm regards from the UK.
It's always a trick carrying what you think you want. My kit and carry has changed these past 3 years. My chest rig is for ammo in the States. You might get rid of the bulk by switching to combination closed flap AR/AK pouches and remove those utility pouches. I would get a US GI belt and put those utility pouches on that and attach it to your Bergen by sewing on paracord or webbing and buckles to make for quick access. I would add a GI water bladder over your rig. That to can be positioned under the Bergen cover flap horizontally for use and access in case you have to bin the bergen. Here in the states my rig is for ammo and knife. I use an ALICE web belt and pack. I replaced the frame so a Molle 2 hip belt can be used. The issue frame is short and has a kidney pad. On the medium ALICE pack US GI sustainment pouches can be added on either side of the medium pack, not the large. Thanks for sharing your vid.
my gosh i did not expect you to bring out that many items i was amazed to see how much you fit in your rig. that's awesome you have everything just about on your person, very smart rig.
Thanks, that is exactly the whole idea - to have every thing I need(the priorities of survival) on my person in case I drop or cache my pack. I know of people who have had their pack go into the river or roll off a mountain, and then they're totally screwed, not going to happen to me for sure. The best thing is this rig is not too big, it doesn't have 20 pouches, it is small enough to wear all the time when I'm in the bush, with or without my backpack.
I'm actually very impressed! I do have my qualms about over redundancy and kit organization, but I really enjoyed this. The idea of a survival kit built into a chest rig/plate carrier is really cool. That's not something you generally see in American survival circles. Can't wait to try this for myself
I've had similar kit and more including ammo and bigger knives
Great job on getting ALL of that in your Tier 2. And I like the idea of different Tiers for different situations. I just might do that. Thanks for the great vid!!!
Thanks, I appreciate your comments and I'm glad that you got some ideas.
Wow I just watched your video, I am amazed at how much useful survival gear you managed to get into your vest, including toilet paper and tampons!
Yeah like i thought he was a dude i didn't know he has a bleeding vagina unti he brought out the tampons 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing buddy. Very thorough and well presented clip. I've gotten some great hints and tips. I'm definitely copying your pack system. I like how this can have essential gear and be strapped to your front, while having a backpack for other gear, so the load is distributed well while all being very customisable. I think i might add the 5.11 Rush 24 backpack so the set will be complete. Cheers!
The only thing I see missing is by preference a proper way to cook. My preference is a GI canteen kit with cup and stove. Awesome kit my friend!
The biggest flaw with this kit, is the stuff in the mag pouches not being dummy corded onto the webbing.
You take one good spill down a small hill, and there goes everything in those pockets unless they're tied to you.
Very concise and compact system you have there!
Thanks mate.
great vid, I've been into camping since i can remember but a buddy of mine in cadets we have been doing more camping in this last year and this was very useful as I'm getting a vest.
Only thing different is the mindset.
What about survival camping???
Man, that rig is like the Tardis.
Nice kit. But with tactical military look and no weapon could make you a target. You might look at Ribz front packs for more grayman.
Yeah gets shot dead for his phantom ammo and guns
Well thought out kit. Thanks for sharing and giving me some new ideas.
Thanks, I appreciate your comments.
Also just a reminder about woven paracord - it'll never ever be useful unless you want to burn it, or wipe your ass with it. Once you weave it it'll keep those bends for an eternity and turn it into useless nonsense. Couldn't help but notice your boonie band; if you want para cord to survive wrap it around a piece of card or something else.
Cool content! Best wishes from Chile🇨🇱
Ur gear is awesome I love that dump pouch keep doing what u r doing. And keep making ur vids
first of all, great video, just my thoughts, i think if you are going for a survival rig, an LBE or a molle belt would be better at distributing weight
Great vids. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks for captioning
Why do you have gear in your mag pouches where your ammo is suppose to go? Where is your ammo?
This is a survival bugout loadout not a combat loadout. Besides I don't do gun videos.
cool dude, nice vid!!
banshee107 where he lives probley as strict gun laws
It is better to have too much food, water and fire starters than a gun. Once the Ammo is gone, you have no real use it. You can usually get more food - fishing and trapping - water - rivers, lakes - fire starters - all around you. Ammo no gun stores around. This is from an American. Having a Gun is good, but don't make it part of you Bag unless it is absolutely necessary.
Outdoor Mississippi We can own guns in Australia. Just not semi automatic ones. Basically, limited to lever and bolt action in rifles. He says he doesn’t do gun videos so I’m assuming he is not s gun owner. There are plenty of sport and rifle hunters in Australia though.
Just be aware I looked up the baofeng radio and it seems like they and similar non 40-80ch uhf radios are banned here, might want to check before outing up vids about it to avoid charges being laid
crikey mate you could live in the bush forever
Please MORE!
Thanks, I've just got to finish editing and I'll post one or two shortly.
I am just checking to see if you have made a new video yet, I guess I will have to be patient a bit longer:)
I hope everything is well with you.
Take care
antman29able
Yes, I have made more video's, however I just had a very recent new addition to the family, so my video's and some other stuff is on hold for a little as I devote more time to them. When things settle down a bit I'll be posting the work that I've done.
Aussie Bushman would you recomend sord gear for a 2nd line?
perfect kit! thanks for sharing!
Awesome pack,thank you.
Hi mate, I hope you are okay! Come back and say hi! I love your videos. Warm regards from the UK. DP
great vid mate, well done,
thanks for sharing,
cheers
Boyd
Thanks, your welcome, I appreciate your comments.
Mate this is just an amazing set up! Thank you very much for taking the time to video it and share it with us. If you don't mind, may I ask a question? I see you have a UST Blastmatch. I usually have the main use of my left hand as my right and is always on my walking stick. I know the Blastmatch is one hand use, my question is, two part: 1/ What is your opinion of the Blastmatch and 2/ does it take much force to actually push down and push in the striker, is it easy enough? Thank you.
Firstly thanks for the positive comments, I really appreciate it. Regarding the UST Blastmatch, it doesn't take a lot of force to press in the striker button part, it is fairly easy once you get used to it, so I recommend that you practice at home first before you need it in any kind of survival situation.
It works pretty well for a few reasons; firstly the size of the ferro-rod is quite large, secondly because of the design and technique it places the sparks right in the center of the tinder with very little affecting the overall performance.
Note: I have seen these fail in a survival situation- after extended heavy use the ferro-rod broke because of incorrect use, so you need to be careful with them and use them correctly. Are you aware of the one handed way of using almost any fire steel? What you do is grab a multitool blade, a knife-back or a large striker(the multitool blade works best), you place your foot on the multitool and using one hand pull the fire steel back against the blade or striker just above your tinder(you can use a small log or cut piece of wood under the multitool to raise it above the tinder a bit. I hope this info helps.
Wow, awesome. Thank you very much for all of the feedback mate. Really appreciate it. Looking forward to more videos as and when you get time. Keep us updated. Thank you mate.
Hey desertcommandomaster,
thanks a lot for the Video!! a well thought out Kit , as I know it from you !!
Nice Features in it :)
I'm, looking for such a MS2000, but her in Germany sometimes it's hard to get one for a reasonable price...at the Moment I made some Price proposals to some Dealers..
the SP128 is a great Piece for such a kit :)
regards
Steffen
After our last Posts in the 72h-bugOut-Bag- Video, I owned some other stuff to arrange two kits that are comfartable for me .. remembered some of your tips/advises and time by time I tested this and that and so my gear for longer/shorter packages seems to be nearly ready.... for now :)
Made a US-Set, a british PLCE-Set and a german -BW-Set with some austrian/swiis parts..
Get off the US ALICE-Pack and some other gear and went to the PLCE Rucksacks and british gear , which works partly more convenient for me.. the german-BW-Gear is already in test-phase
Good on you Steffen, it sounds like you are starting to have a really good set up, I know the British packs and Bergen's are really comfortable and hard to beat, I would be interested in seeing pics or a video of your gear. I used to sell the MS2000 wholesale to a military suppliers, but I'm all out of stock, I think I only have one or two left which I'm keeping. But if I see a cheap MS2000 I'll let you know. As always thanks for your comments, they're always welcome.
desertcommandomaster hi
thank you for the fast Response :)
in the morning I got a acceptance from a dealer. So I can get the MS2000 for 65Euros plus shipping costs.. It's the best Price at the Moment. New distress marker, unused...
I hope, that this item is really ok :)
Video making ist not one of my strenghts,but when I have my gear arranged, I will make photos!!! ( a german "Fernspäher-Set/reconnaissance kit is nearly complete, but I will try to round up my outdoor gear based on PLCE)
regards
Steffen K.
In Australia the MS2000 sells for about AUD$100 at the moment plus shipping which is a bit cheaper than what you're paying, I just thought that I would let you know. When you get the chance it would be cool to see some pictures of your kits and equipment.
desertcommandomaster
Oh, that seems to be a good Price. Here the sellers got new Batches of the MS2000 and they try to sell them for about 79 - 119 Euros :( plus shipping 5,90 - 9Euros.. So I called one of them and suggested 65, and I wondered when he said "yes".. Now I'm waiting for the delivery :) Pictures are in Progress. ;)
desertcommandomaster
Hi, MS2000 arrived yesterday :) What a great piece of gear !!! Thanks again for reminding me, I forgot the Ditsress Marker due to all other gear I've searched :):)

Hey mate, just happened to stumble upon your video.
I just had a couple of questions and points of consideration on possibly improving your kit.
1. It seems like you have quite a bit of kit (which is good), however wouldn't a small day pack serve you better?
There are a lot of little nick nacks, which are great, and they have been compartmentalised to some extent which is great, but if you were to go for your combat dressing you will spill half your kit. A little day pack with zippered sections seems like the better option.
2. You have got some meds which is awesome. I noticed you have cut the packaging down so they would fit in the canister, might I suggest writing the expiry date with a sharpie or something similar so you know when to chuck them out and replace. Also there is the obvious, use on yourself but not on others, or you will open yourself up to a whole bunch of liability issues.
3. As a bug out option, doesn't the chest rig sort of make you stick out? If I was bugging out because of a disaster the last thing I would want is to flaunt the fact that I may have some useful resources and make myself an unnecessary target. Again this brings me back to the point 1 where I think a small day pack will serve you better. I understand that chest rigs look cool, but in a bug out situation, isn't survival the number one consideration?
4. Some of the items you have are "issued" but just as easily picked up from a surplus store. Do you have military experience? Generally in my chest rig I would have magazines, gloves, toggle rope, small trauma kit, multitool, knife, light, notepad, writing equipment, nav equipment, a small survival kit and water and everything else in a pack. Some times I would rock a large field pack, sometime a small day pack, I had most of my kit in my pack and some mission essentials in my webbing so when I dumped my pack and couldn't recover, I still had something. Again, I might suggest a small pack.
5. If you are looking to keep your chest rig, might I suggest replacing the triple magazine shingle with some more pouches. realistically the only people with magazines that will fit those pouches are military, police or some primary producers. Most civilians do not have access to gas operate rifles with 30 round magazines. Those shingles are too small to hold or water bottle or anything and if you have some other kit, because they are not secured by a flap or zip they will fall out if you are running, upside down or crawling. The only thing those pouches are good for are holding 30 round mags or something of equivalent shape and size.
6. I noticed you have an IR Chem light, its a bit useless unless you have NVGs aren't they? Wouldn't classic green, red, blue and white chem lights serve you better?
7. The saying "Two is one, one is none" is true, you have backups of backups of lights, multitools etc. The one problem I see is that they are all in your chest rig. If you have to dump your rig for whatever reason, if you lose it or if it is taken from you, you have lost quite a bit of kit. This is why, in the Army, one person does not carry everything, the stores are divided among the group. Having a whole bunch of kit in your chest rig and not splitting it around seems like placing all your egg in one basket to me.
8. Belt rigs while they don't look as "Tactical Operator" are great at distributing weight, are comfortable, have plenty of space, are comfortable when a pack is worn and will hold all your gear. The army transitioned to chest systems because it is easier to get in and out of vehicles, get through doorways and such however if you ask anyone thats been in a few years for going out into the bush nothing beats a belt rig.
G'day mate, what an essay, you have a lot of valid points and some great suggestions. You obviously have some experience in the subject, which is rare around CZcams. I do use a small day pack a Camelbak HAWG, when I'm not carrying my Camelbak Motherlode. I use the chest rig for the exact same reason as enlisted men - to easily get in and out of my vehicle, I also use it when tracking and hunting and when I'm 4x4ing I'm in and out of the vehicle all the time. I'm working on a better compartmentalization of my chest rig with small pouches, so things don't fall out when accessing it and I might change out the triple mag shingle even though I'm happy with it at the moment. I've tested it out in the field repeatedly and I haven't lost anything. Most items are a duplication or an alternative of items in my bug-out bag, so if I lost it or had to ditch it, I will still have all the essential items on my person. This is also why I have a chest rig so if I am being pursued in a bug-out scenario, I could ditch or cache my BOB and still have the important stuff. If I had to ditch both my BOB and my chest rig, I carry my SAS survival kit SAS E&E Survival Tin - Kit in my cargo pocket or in a pouch on my belt with my SRK Cold Steel SRK Carbon V Mod With Sheath Survival Fire & Fishing Kit. Having a team or a squad to share the load is great in a perfect world, but SHTF is exactly that, I live in the country and the other members of my team live over a large area, so I have to make sure that I can take care of myself without any support, until members of my team can get together. With a decent jacket my chest rig is fairly well concealed at least until viewed up close or with optics. I have an IR chem stick for use with my NV equipment, you're correct it would be useless if I didn't have NVG's. I usually write the expiry on my meds(they are only for my personal use), I always do on my water-purification tabs, however they are swapped out/rotated regularly. I have a belt kit with awesome padding it's great, I used it for the longest time, but I find the chest rig comfortable. I might split things up a bit between a belt kit and my chest rig I'll see how I go. Thanks for your comments.
desertcommandomaster
Good on ya mate, you seem like you have your head screwed in well.
There are two latin saying that I try to keep in mind in everything I do:
In Omnia Paratus (In all things prepared)
Semper Paratus (Always Prepared)
US Marine General Mattis once said "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet."
If we apply this to civilian life, we can see it as live your day to day lives as any "normal" person would but always have an exit plan. *walk into a building and see where/how many exits there are, if there is a fire are you one of those sheep who will be crushed trying to squeeze out the way you came in because that is the only exit you know or are you the one who can get your family/loved ones to safety because you planned ahead?"
I wrote an essay, but I was in no way having a go at you *sorry if it sounded that way*.
I live in the city so instead of bugging out the situation would probably be getting home and then staying put, however for the same reasons as you I always keep my webbing and pack in the car with food and water provisions to last a week, maybe more if I decide to go Jenny Craig and ration it out.
For your purposes I think SORD's 4x40mm grenade pouches would be great! They don't take up too much space BUT have small pockets with a flap for you to separate your kit and keep it secure. When I don't have rounds, I use mine to separate my chocolate bars from my chocolate spreads hahaha.
Anyways have a good one buddy. Keep it up.
The only thing I would change is Do you have a knife to dig a hole why do you need a poo shovel get rid of it and you could put other items in I would suggest your ration water buy the small packs Better shelflife easier to store and you could problem carry more I would say your first dating just change those wipes out go half Iodine wipes / Alcohol prep pads
Hey mate, great kit. I swear that first bag is like a tardis, things just kept coming out of it. what is it youve been doing that you go so remote, as you said?
Opal mining and looking for Yowies.
Any progress w the yowies? Any interesting stories of possible signs/tracks or encounters?
Growing weed and smoking it with the yowwies
Great video mate, this has really inspired me and given me lots of amazing ideas.
Love your work!
Thanks, I appreciate your comments.
Righto, fair enough if it serves a purpose for you. I'm subscribing because I'm hoping to see you and your equipment in the field.
I've been putting together a bag over some time now. And found I struggled with weight out in the bush. How much does your vest and pack weigh combined? And would love to know where you got some of your gear. Eg snare pack and water filter bag.
Great set-up good thinking takes a lot of items out of a pack I've been building a bug out bag but the weight is overwhelming don't know how reasonable of a bug out bag would really be unless it's for a hurricane look for a world events I'm going to have to rely on some new found religion
Hey champ. How heavy is your set up when fully packed. I like the idea of vests, so I'm not carrying too much around my waist.
nice kit as usual. I am building my kit along the same lines as yours. 1 EDC, 2 Chest rig (using a Ribz pack) camelbak, 3 Assault pack from a FILBE and 4 the rest of the FILBE.
your set up gives me ideas on how to split it all up. Thanks!!!
Thanks your welcome, that's great if you got some ideas on how to organize and separate the gear, what's important is that you have at least one of each key essential items in each TIER eg: first-aid, shelter, fire, water and maybe a little food(in that default order), with the smallest items in your EDC TIER I, small items in your TIER II and the luxury, comfortable and larger items in your TIER III and/or TIER IV. The FILBE is a solid looking system, thanks for your comment.
Nice kit
Look like pretty much people need to survives! my question: what about sleeping? do you get anything? e.g bed or pillow something
+scavengertom thank
Great Videos Dude, Its good to see some Australian stuff, Im making a INCH bag at the moment. Where did you get that grappling hook.
+Beau Keenan Thanks, it's called a Micra Grappling Hook by Maratac, I think that I might have got it from Fusion Gear or Countycomm.
Mate you have all the gear and I respect that. And like your vids. But for god sake stop calling yourself,
"Dessert commando master" ( That translates to me, I am a Wanker) Sorry. How about Ozzie Bug Out Bugga......😂👍🏻
Mate, just so you know desertcommandomaster doesn't actually mean anything, it was just 3 random words that I put together for an email address to stop spam back when the spam filters were total shit and I was getting a hundred or more spam every single day, I just couldn't be bothered changing it until recently. It doesn't matter what someone calls themselves it's the quality of the gear, the info and the videos. If I knew how to edit the audio on the videos I would. To be honest, I didn't think anyone would give a shit about what I called myself as it didn't mean anything to me.
Aussie Bushman Ive not got a bivi at all. Would you go a woodland gortex USA one. Or the commando one from Ray Mears?
I almost got into trouble on one of my social media platforms. PETA took my name the wrong way. They didnt like the name badlands pussystabber. They thought I was an animal abuser. Lol
awesome
excellent video! where could I get that water collection bag??
You have some really interesting items I've not seen before. I love that survival mirror, I think that's a fantastic piece of kit. But anyways, I was just wondering what your philosophy of use is for this set up. I can tell that it's definitely survival/bug out related,but do you take this rig with you on bushcraft trips or is it more intended for emergencies?
+Zach Lutes Thanks, even though it is a bugout survival rig I do take it with me every time I go to the bush, hunting, tracking, camping whatever, most of my gear is setup in this way, not just for bugging out but so I can use it for camping, hunting etc. it helps ensure that I know what's in everything and the items are well maintained, re-stocked and most important of all useful or necessary, because if you don't use something regularly you get sick of carrying it and it gets taken out.
The main idea with this chest rig is that if my main pack has to be ditched in a bugout scenario or it goes over a cliff or down the river, or if I leave camp without my main pack I still have the essential items for survival, in fact I have a lot more than the essential items. I also use this setup because when I'm 4-wheel driving, hunting or tracking I'm in and out of the vehicle all day, the chest rig allows me to keep some essential gear on my body including communication, were if I was using a day pack it has to be taken on and off relentlessly which gets real old real fast and risks getting left behind or forgotten.
Wow that's excellent.I want to get a chest rig and gun belt so i can more evenly distribute weight around my body, because i really don't like over-sized backpacks stuffed to the brim.
+Zach Lutes I forgot to mention the most inspiration for my bugout chest rig and that is the famous or infamous Bravo Two Zero, the British SAS mission during the Gulf war in Iraq where the members of Bravo Two Zero were compromised and they had to bugout in order to save their lives.
They each carried a huge Bergen full of kit which weighed an absurd amount and each soldier had a belt kit. When they bugged-out they had to ditch their Bergen's and they were only able to grab a couple of items out of their packs before ditching them and in the process forgetting some of the most important items, which left them with only a few items, their belt kit and weapons. They were then caught in one of the worst ever storms, some got separated and one member of the group died and all but one of the rest (Chris Ryan) were captured by the enemy.
I realised that even the most highly trained professionals sometimes have to bugout and that when you bugout you can't necessarily take your backpack or Bergen with you, you might only be able to take what is on your person or attached to your body in some way. The SAS and other special forces have it all figured out so who am I to re-invent the wheel, I'm just putting more survival based items in my chest rig instead of ammo. If there is a possibility that I will have to bugout, I put my chest rig on and have my Bergen ready, if I'm going to war I do the same as the SAS and fill it with ammo.
Absolutely.Im definitely getting a belt kit too
+Zach Lutes Chest rigs are primarily designed for use with a vehicle of some sort, if your system doesn't involve a vehicle a belt kit will suffice, they also provide a little more comfort and space for extra pouches.
great kit gunna copy it thanx

hi there, I like your kit, it is very informational, one question though the iPood Shuffle, where did you get that?, I have a kit very similar to yours that I carry in the back of my truck for emergencies and that little shovel it is very impressive, but I looked for it on eBay here in the US and I can't seem to find it, where did you get yours?
It's made by Sea to Summit, REI sell them: www.rei.com/product/758042/sea-to-summit-pocket-trowel
How much does it weigh???
The best prep is defence. Whats the point of gearing up if a .22 can ruin your day.
where did you get the Emergency Position-Indicating Radio Beacon? and how much was it?
The one in this video is now considered obsolete(It still works however the frequency it transmits on is only used by aircraft and military and is not monitored for emergencies anymore and therefore it is not fit for purpose). I have replaced it with a SPOT Satellite Messenger Emergency Rescue Beacon Locator which works great and allows me to let people know that I'm okay when in remote bushland with no mobile service.
I'm just a bit confused on what you use all this for? For extreme camping, hiking, etc it seems very practical, but what about the facepaint? That confuses me the most
+BigL I'm not sure that I could have said it better myself, I didn't respond to this dude 'Sean Gordon' (is this his name for real?) because I don't think that I could have done it without hurting his girly feelings. Thanks for your comment you cracked me up.
Aussie Bushman So you're basically a conspiracy theorist.
***** Go build a fort for the fucking zombie apocalypse
You do realise how stupid you sound? You are splitting hairs, the likelihood of that happening, just wow
+BigL Do you even know how long the United States have had it's debt? So now, all of a sudden, everyone's going to lose their shit, just because there's 'economic hard times' may I ask, what do you think of 9/11?
I just subscribed
+Austin P Thanks, I appreciate it.
+Aussie Bushman (desertcommandomaster) no problem man, you make good informative videos so it just makes sense to subscribe.
And were do you live in aus
nice vid mate also loved your bug our bag one as well just a couple of questions are you ex military, what type of scenario are you planing for, because ir lights and glow sticks isnt really survival
Thanks, I'm planning for a variety of different scenario's because who really knows what will happen and how bad things will get, so I plan to be ready for anything. IR and night vision devices are great for survival, especially if your survival depends on not being noticed or the need to move and operate at night.
Do you have night vision devices? can you do a video on them? also wouldn't defensive items be more important? nice rig tho. my tier 2 is a battle belt and is more combat oriented
Ninjabombify Yes I have Night vision devices however I kind of keep that area along with the defensive items to myself for reasons of OPSEC, besides there are thousands of Americans that have done video's with that kind of gear with most of it much better than what I have here in Australia.
@@AussieBushman i knew it you've got unlicensed illegal guns and ammo that's why you don't do gun vids or show that you carry ammo on your vest 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
where do you keep your guns?
How do you manage to get knives if you're in Australia? I'm in QLD and I want to get a Mora from BronzeMoon but I don't know if they will get seized by customs. How do you get around this? Great video's too, really cool to see what you have.
That's a good question, please note: I'm not a lawyer and I don't live in QLD. If you want a more specific answer, I need to know exactly what knife you want to buy and where you want to buy it from, I also suggest that you ask a QLD knife collector for help, they will have a better understanding of your situation in QLD.
The answer to your question is complicated and is dependent on the exact type of knife. - I think you might be mainly talking about the new laws in QLD which basically made almost all folding knives illegal to possess, this is a state issue so you need to a) have a valid legal reason to own and/or possess the knife and b) make sure that the folding knife cannot be opened with one hand(so tighten the screw really well to avoid this).
Regarding importing folding knives, some regular single edged folding knives can be seized if they open too easily, so you need to have the supplier tighten the screw before sending you the knife and you just loosen it again when you receive it(but in your case I suggest leaving the screw tightened to avoid prosecution).
If the knife you want to import is a single edged fixed blade knife, then there is almost no problem, if it's a dagger you need a permit to import and also permission to own from the police(this depends on which state your in), you also need a permit to import a lot of other knives, I've imported knives with no problems and then all of a sudden customs seizes the next shipment of exactly the same knife they approved last time, this is because it is up to the individual customs officer to interpret the law, which is ridiculous.
Again, I really need to know exactly what knife you want to buy and where you want to buy it from, and I still suggest that you ask a QLD knife collector for advice. I hope that I have helped you a bit and thanks for your comments.
Check this guys video out - Knife Laws in Queensland Australia
Thanks for the quick reply, I will check out the video. I just want to get an esee 5 and a mora Classic and maybe a Condor Bushlore. Thanks :)
They are all single edged fixed blade knives, these are all legal to import, and I'm almost certain that they're also legal to own in QLD, however I still recommend that you ask a QLD knife collector just to be on the safe side.
bronze moon is a scam so don't expect to be receiving your knife
Kewl!
No offence but why the f*ck do you have cammo paint?
On top of that, that's a completely useless shovel, why does he have anything but first aid shit in his first aid bag, and what good is an inferred flash light when only someone wearing Google can see it? Dump half his shit, get a real shovel (I chop wood with mine), a bigger knife, and a folding solar panel. Oh, and add a camelback to the loadout.
do you have tier 1 vid?
Hey mate, great set up, are you ex/current military? because you seem to know your stuff! :) Great video. - Prepper in QLD.
He's an X special forces but i didn't know he has a bleeding vagina until he gets out his tampon
I believe in being prepared for emergencies but when/if TSHTF as we are to suspect no amount of gear will save anyone long term. The keys to survival lie in strong community and unity.
Unless you're dealing with the Coronavirus 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great kit mate where did you get the Aussie combat flag from I have been looking everywhere cheers 🇦🇺😎
Keep looking unless you enlist in the ADF
Keep looking unless you enlist in the ADF
Try looking at army disposals the one I use for my CZcams profile picture is off one of auscam long sleeve army shirts that I brought from army disposals
Отличное видио! (>__
Where did u get the gloves and chest rig
Joseph Ferraro The Hatch SOG-HK300 Operator HK Gloves I got from Platatac and the SORD chest rig I got from a mate after he left the army.
Great stuff, just had a very hard time with the audio.
James Robertson Thanks, what problem were you having with the audio?
Very quiet, was good at first when you were beside camera, as soon as you went to the kit, it was very faint, I could tell there was audio but couldn't understand it, too quiet
James Robertson I'll check it out thanks for letting me know.
Just got to get you a Styer AUG and some Steiner binoculars. Do you think they'll ever have gun rights restored in Australia?
Guns in Australia are either reserved for farmers, sporting shooters, security guards or collectors. It is not legal in Australia to own a gun fro self defence nor do we have a right to bear arms. This will not change.
Terrible. You would perish in a few days in OZ if this is all you had. 100ml of water plus maybe another 600ml plastic bottle
im looking for a really good knife for skinning/surivival use can you suggest a brand and a place to get it cheap
That's a good question, Probably the best knife for skinning and survival use would be the Frost Mora Companion in stainless steel because it's razor sharp out of the box, it's easy to clean after skinning an animal and you don't have to worry about rust. Where to get one, search on eBay item number 270859859916, if you want a cheaper version which is almost identical for $22 including postage eBay item number 181485278118 this one is the Bahco Mora Knife 2444 it's the same thing just in orange, That's my recommendation for you.
thanks ur the best and its good having aussie preppers represented by one such as yourself
@@volthunter3 you want cheap buy it from China you want it to last and not fail and be a good product spend more money buy quality European, US or Aussie made...
I see you're Doby number there mate. What unit are you in
hi would you recommend the sord chest rig
thanks bye the way great video
Oscar Fricke
Thanks, I would recommend the SORD chest rig 100%, this is down-right the best rig I've ever had and I've tried many different styles and models, the SORD is small and compact enough so I can still wear my pack at the same time while on infil and exfil in and out of the bush, it is also great to wear while hunting and 4x4ing which requires getting in and out of the vehicle all the time, with the SORD you don't have to take it off, just slip your pack off and keep your chest rig on, this also ensures that you have the most important gear on your person at all times. I've tested it in all types of terrain including really steep bush and it's fantastic, it stays close against my body and is cool and comfortable(if I want even more ventilation I just fold the bib down). There is also heaps of modular attachments and configurations. The only downside of the rig is getting it on and off, you can use the main strap clips if needed, but I prefer to just un-clip the back strap and slip it over my head, I know a few guys who don't like having to slide it over your head, I think it's a matter of personal preference, I think all the positives out way that one possible negative. One thing is for sure I'm sticking with this for the future.
No rifle brother? how come? Otherwise solid setup!
Holow599 australia
+howabout no Does aussieland really not allow firearms of any sort?
no, but its hard to get one
oh man that sucks, i just looked up their laws
its hard to even own an airsoft gun
can wear your t1 and t2 at same time
Absolutely, that's the whole idea, I have worn my Tier 1 (EDC), 2 (chest rig) and 3 (bug-out bag) together on my recent trips to Mt Solitary and Acacia Flat, when I arrive at our campsite I leave my Tier 3 in my tent and just carry my Tier 1 (always with me) and my chest rig through the duration of the trip.
A Real Aussie Bushman would be embarrassed to see this ..
You need to upload some more vids mate and buy any chance are you In a group on facebook called Australian survivalism
I will upload some more video's real soon, I've just had a new addition to the family so I've been a bit busy. I'm not a member of that facebook group..
desertcommandomaster ok sweet can't wait to watch more vids, are you apart of any of the survival or prepping groups
bubba foster
No mate, I'm not a member of any survival or prepping group.
Ok you should join up mate it would be great to have you aboard
you carry a poop shovel on your chest?
You bet, it's better than the alternative of having to poop in a bag and take it with you.
Aussie Bushman if all you have left is a chest rig.. the last thing you're going to care about is whether ur shit is buried or not
Poo stains and smells on his chest vest 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
are you a licensed ham?
+Zeb Poletti I'm in Australia, it's not called that down under.
+Aussie Bushman (desertcommandomaster) I am Australian aswell, do you have your amateur radio license?
Where's the ammo??
But otherwise nice kit!
***** australia, we dont got guns son, unless you really want to go through the process
***** I don't discuss guns and ammo on my channel for reasons of OPSEC, besides there are plenty of Americans and a few Aussies who take care of that stuff.
+Aussie Bushman (desertcommandomaster) we need more Aussies talking about firearms, apparently the Australian senate won't let up on the firearms restrictions because they feel it will cause a public panic even though they admitted there is no other reason not to, so the more the public knows the less they can keep using that piss poor excuse.
there is absolutely no reason I should not be allowed to own an AR-15 other than it is illegal.
I can 99% guarantee, it will not get stolen and 100% guarantee i will not miss use it.
and on the theft issue even the military cannot guarantee their weapons will not be stolen as they have been ripped off a few times before, thats how the bikie gangs have military weapons.
i have also been offered on more than one occasion a stolen police pistol. these incidents don't get reported because they don't want to alarm the public.
in fact private firearms storage is safer than the police and military, because the criminals know where the police and military firearms are, they don't know where mine are.
+trodengore if you are a primary producer or pest shooter (helicopters on stations) you can in fact legally acquire an ar15 in aus.
Is it just me or does his med kit kinda make no sense? Good video other than that lol i could just be a lil close minded on this..
What was the name of the water filtration bag?
I really had problems hearing it..
Sounded like mil back bag.
I want one, so if anyone could tell me i would be glad :D
It's called a Millbank bag and all the items are listed in the description.
Thanks!
Have a great weekend ;)
Ok now run a mile

This setup is not intended for walking down the street, it's designed for use with a vehicle.
