Winter Overnight Bushcraft Gear

Winter time in Canada, I found a spot to camp tonight. I thought I'd go through my winter bushcraft overnight kit with you. So first off, it's my backpack. This is a Fjällräven Friluft 55. To get started, we have this flap that goes over the top, and it has really cool straps. So you undo it, and you need it to get however however tight or loose you want, but instead of it just being a strap, it has these loops that you can actually grab with your hands, you know what I mean, and pull down. So if that's in there and that's loose, I'm going to tighten it, But instead of it just being a strap, that's a handle. That's a loop now. Easy to grab, nice and easy to cinch up. We don't need our super tight. Loosen her up. And we've got two straps like that, one on either side. And there goes your roof, your top, right? So that's, I can fit quite a bit of gear in there too. I don't really like to because it's a little bit heavy on the top. But anyways, gives you a lot of extra room. And then on the top here, you've got a buckle with a strap. And then on the front, you've got a buckle with a strap. And the front is an elastic-y pocket. I like it because I can fit a lot of things in like Down jackets, whatever stuff that I want to get to quickly So what I have in here today is my Therm-a-Rest sit pad, which is gonna become invaluable I'm gonna use it right now on my knee. I've also got my GoPro with my tripod and A vitamin water which I just grabbed at the gas station on the way in just for extra That's it for the big stretchy pocket in the front But as you can see you can fit a lot of stuff in there man And especially if something's wet you can just put it on the outside. It's pretty cool. First off I got my poncho, all right? That's my Bushcraft Outfitters, still nylon poncho. That's gonna be my shelter for tonight. Next up is paracord. Going to attempt to keep all of my stuff on this poncho while I'm showing it to you. I don't really wanna put it in the snow, and I certainly don't want everything getting wet. So comes right out after my tarp or my poncho is my cordage bag where I've got hanks of paracord, but also this small reflective cord as well. So I got more than enough paracord and other kinds of cord to last me i've got my food and my Phantom X pouch i've got odds and ends in here headlamps extra batteries uh first aid kit, compass, stuff like that, you've seen it before in my other videos, it's a little bit more bulked up now that i'm actually out here really camping far away from my car far away from my house, i got a Linker Lane hanky good for picking up pots or wiping your nose or whatever, here i have a little bit of clothes Not many, I'll show you. It's not even necessary to keep them in this dry bag, but I figure they're all consolidated in here instead of just loose in my pack. But I really don't have much. I have what I'm wearing, then I have a pair of wool blend socks to change into at night before I go to bed, a Costco base layer top before I go to bed, and Stanfields Polar Therm long johns before I go to bed. I have my Costco bottoms on right now. They're thinner than my Stanfields, so I like to sleep in my Stanfields. So it's nice to have the bag. They're kind of protected. It's not needed. Whatever my sleep gear consists of, my sleeping pad Which is a Therm-a-Rest Neo Air. I'm using a bivvy this time This is a minimalist REI bivvy you've seen me use this probably once or twice before And then I have a new sleeping bag from MEC or Mountain Equipment Co-op. I believe it's called the Talon It's not called the Talon. It's the other new one they have, it's an orange one It's a negative 10 Celsius bag and here I have it in like an 8 liter stuff sack Which is kind of too small for it, but it'll work So I've also got a little piece of steel nylon material that I can make a chair a bush chair if I want to I'm Not sure if I want to do it or not and my piece of reflectix Which I'm gonna use to sit on and possibly put underneath all of my gear Oh, oh, can't forget my luxury item, my down pillow still in the backpack. I have my side pouches I waited till now to take them out because they were stuffed in there. It's hard to get them out I've got a liter of water and an algae. I've got my tight titanium Snow Peak solo cup i have the lid to this in one of my other bags my my little odds and ends bag the other side i have my 19 inch Sandvik axe my trusty axe so this is the top this is the outside zipper on the top and i've got oh dehydrated apples dehydrated apples thanks again Stephanie those are awesome she grew those and dehydrated them for me i've got a map inside a plastic bag I've got a clementine and one more Stephanie Wonder Bar on my strap on my backpack I have my Casio watch I'm not keeping this on my wrist because I'd like to tell the accurate time and right now it's 0.8 degrees celsius all right one more pocket and that's on the inside of the lid and there we've got things like an axe carrier for my belt my silky gone boy and my wallet and keys so I want to keep my wallet and keys in there and zipped up I'm not going to open this pouch again until I have to leave these are the only two things that were in there and I can put them in a different spot Maybe I'll quickly go through my food with you because I'm sure people will be interested in here in some inside bliss and butcher paper I have a nice fat ribeye steak that I want to cook. No seasoning. No grill straight on the coal So I might make a grill out of wood I've got for tomorrow morning two packs of oatmeal. I've got oh, that's a secret. I'm not gonna show that one just yet Okay, a couple bars cliff bar lid to my my snow peak pot I got another pepperoni thing of rice my spork some trail mix and some cheese I definitely won't eat all this stuff but it's nice to have just in case and who cares if it weighs a couple pounds more it's nice to have food and speaking of food these dehydrated apples probably one of the best things I've ever had in my life honestly my thoughts on the Fall Raven FreeLite 55 killer pack. I'm not a fan of the red to be honest with you, but it's not that big a deal. It kind of grows on you too. I know this wasn't enough. This wasn't a long video, right? So just tune into the trip video I post after this and you'll be able to see everything I'm doing with my gear. How I'm cooking, how I'm setting my poncho up as a tarp, how I'm trying to stay warm and dry under the snow. All right guys, thanks a lot. Bye.
