hey Don this is Mitchell Canadian survival school say when you go over my bushcraft a kit stay tuned okay so first off is my will blanket that I either tie to the bottom or I use in a horseshoe fashion or I put inside the rock a lot of carry options for a wool blanket

okay so let's break in the pockets the bucket of this pack now even before we do that I have X in the sack sleeve it's part of my kit there's an axe keep inside a little soft to protect it from snow and rain this happens to be a grandpa Brock's small forest ax okay I'll see you top pocket try to do this quickly I just keep my first-aid kit

perhaps top I like to keep this pocket mostly empty I mean it's more than half empty and I like that because if I'm cut I'm hurt or somebody else is hurt I just want to be able to get in there and get what I need and you know really quickly without having to take things out and find things sometimes time is very critical inside my talk pocket as well is some tissues if for whatever reason I don't feel like using leaves to wipe myself after I relieve myself this works well when it's been or if it is actively raining it's raining it's just not a good experience these are nice for the two types of rope power cord bank line and my headlamp right because my bushcraft day kit isn't actually really just for the daytime nighttime counts to the forest the wild at night is incredibly important to hang out and not just the daytime so inside my first-aid kit I have some extra batteries

right that's the whole pocket next pocket down

I have tinder bag just has birch bark in it and a lot of things you know this is its inner bag it's what you'd expect birch bark in there that's kind of the majority of it fills the bottom I can make a tinder bundle because there's broom sedge and there's cattail fluff so it's kind of the best of both worlds there's enough in here to make tinder bundles out of birch if I want which is not ideal or I can use my fir odd with birch which is ideal where I can go primitive and make it's in the bundle code or pouch water-resistant the other thing I have in this bottom pocket my tarp this happens to be an ultra-light sorry that's the outside pockets let's go inside now main pocket I have plenty of room again for lots of things in here if I want to put in you know if I only put my hat in here my gloves sweater obviously I go on the winter too so it's a texture room and it's also nice I'll take everything out to find something it's plenty of room to ship things around ruff about have a sack keep half a sack of my kit obvious reasons
