Welcome back to the woods everybody. We are here at Camp making some videos for you guys having a blast with the family as well and I wanted to do a technical Tuesday, Sal video and just do a gear dump on the bag that I carry everywhere with me if there's even a thought of camping. So this is what I carry with me in the truck. If I'm doing any sort of camping even when I have the the opus off-road camper with me, I always want to have these essentials in this bag and I keep them organized and in here so they're ready when I need them. The bag itself I've had for about 20 years. I got this at an Army Navy store many many many moons ago and it's all faded and everything but it's just a satchel basically and it's got a little waterproof liner on the inside. So it's perfect for the amount of items I need in here and it's not crazy heavy but I'm gonna dump everything out just do everything one at a time and show you guys what is in here because there's a lot of a lot of things in here that I think everybody should carry when they're going to camp. First thing coming out of the top is a little canvas bag I know it doesn't look like much but just for anything that you find collect maybe you need to make some tenders you need something that you have to dry out something of that nature just having like a regular ziplock plastic bag it traps in the moisture so this is more breathable right now I've got some fat wood in here that I cut out of a base of one of these pine dead pine stumps out of here. So for that kind of stuff and I'll just leave that kind of in there randomly at the top. Next one probably the most important one is my fire kit. So I got two of these little pouches in here I got a blue one and I got a black one. The black one is for the fire. I'm reaching in there I know it I know what I'm getting out. So I've got some some rope in here so the rope you can make fires with. I carry this Vaseline Vaseline is great for cut scrapes chaps lips all that stuff but it also makes like a candle effect so if you put this rope in this Vaseline it's gonna hold a flame longer you can do the same thing with cotton balls so I carry cotton balls in here as well and these are inside of a dry bag so I can unzip that and these will never get wet so I got cotton balls inside of there if I need to get a fire going really fast dire situations I love to have those cotton balls ready and what I have more time to just practice you know typical bushcraft type stuff it's fun I do carry a chart in in there I've got a chart punk wood and a little piece of flint inside of there so we can make our fires with tenders and then I'll carry a ferro rod so I got a ferro rod and a striker inside of there and then got a lighter I mean when you want to get it done quick carry lighter but when it's freezing temperatures sometimes these lighters don't work so got to have the other stuff fire kits pretty extensive all that fits in there but that way I know wherever I go I will be able to make a fire with this kit okay now in the blue bag I carry my cordages so I got various links in here and it may start to rain so pardon the drops I got various links of pericords I've got bank lines and I keep them hanged up summer about four or five foot summer about 20 foot and that way I'm able to tie down tarps I can run ridge lines you know hang stuff all sorts of things and the idea with these is you know they they always are hanged up and I undo them I keep them in this pouch I never cut any new cord I do have a really long pericord in here this is over a hundred feet I forget how long it is but if I need to you know do a big project I've got that in there of course of course I'm gonna get random next item in here is a folding saw gotta have a folding saw and this is great for hunting to you know just setting up blinds and stands and stuff cut those little branches out of your way get shooting lanes you know and a lot of times it's just easier to saw things and it is to cut things so keep that little packable folding saw in there next thing this is just sort of an extra bag but I keep toggles in here toggles and little extra stuff any sort of you know if I find a flint rock something in there I can put in there there's a few random tent spikes you know random stuff but it's an extra bag that I can I can add to as add things to it as I'm out in the woods next two things I keep two wedges in here so I got two wedges where I can split logs and if my axe gets stuck that was the other item that's not in my bag this travels with me a lot I keep a little forest axe if this gets stuck I'm gonna be able to get it out with a wedge you know I can take another piece of wood hit this into there and then I can get my axe back but it's also great for splitting big pieces of wood so two wedges and then at the bottom of my kit this is kind of like the camp set up basics so I've got a ridge line that I normally keep in here it's actually on a tarp right now I keep tent spikes a little bag of aluminum tent spikes I keep a knife or an axe sharpener so there's a strap on this outside here pull that off and I've got a stone underneath that so I can keep everything sharp and then inside of here I've got small little paracords I've got fishing line and hooks if I ever needed to do any emergency fishing and so that small paracords just for making little repairs and things like that and then I keep a small sharpening stone inside here as well a rod and this is a very fine ceramic rod so if I have like a skinning knife something I want to get extremely sharp this this stone will do it and this is I'm pretty sure this is made by spider co spider co makes the best ceramic sharpeners that I've ever bought this one even has it's like a tear drop shape has a little cut down the middle so if you want to sharpen hooks needles points anything like that and it's got that flat side where you can do your other sharpening and then if you want to do serrations you've got that tear drop shape where you can do the serrated as well so pretty awesome little ceramic sharpener and that just stays at the base of the bag and then I normally keep some sort of knife in here and right now it happens to be my blades by like custom knife just a good little camp knife to have in there nice thick spine on it and I also keep a Swiss army knife in here it's in my other pack right now that I was hiking with but a Swiss army knife with all the little tools like scissors you know a small saw little thin bladed knives stuff like that just for little tasks I can do any sewing anything like that that's really good for that so that is the entirety of the bag I think I have one more little chart in on the outside here yeah somebody made me a custom chart in with LFG on it and I've got dried stuff in there we're starting fires so little shavings so there's quite a bit of stuff in there in that bag but those are the essentials I think everybody needs to have this fire kit though make you you know your custom fire kit however you like to whatever tenders you want however you like to start fires but keep that on you and I usually keep another one inside of the truck in a small bag that way if I ever get in a situation I forgot this one or you know I'm stuck somewhere I have a small little kit I call it like my old kit and that will get me out of a jam if I ever get into it so preparedness prior planning prevents problems this one my dad always just tell me that's more camp tasks I got to do I'm gonna get out of the rain thank you guys for tuning in for today's gear dump video and stay tuned for more so more videos that we're gonna have up here that it's camping it's
