My $00.02 worth of advice: pre-tie your fishing line to the hooks. Your fine motor control may not be so fine when it comes time to do an intricate task.

Anyone else see the poncho and immediately smell it despite it being online?

My Marines: "Doc, why do you carry two canteen cups?" Me: "Balances me out."

The SAS also do a kit, with a military field jacket filling the pockets with everything you need for survival . The bonus is, that it can hung on clothes hooks or thrown in the back seat of a car. Just put it on and you are ready to go.

Hi, as an ex 3 Para soldier from the sixties I am very familiar with the 58 pattern webbing and the bergen. I used the combination of those two until my demob in NZ in 1977. We used the same kit in all of our operating theatre’s but added an extra bottle in hot climates. The point we made is to keep the weight down as what we jumped with is what we carried. Mess tins are not necessary items, mugs do the job for brewing up, heating food and washing and shaving. I had to live on ration packs in our first 1961 tour in the Gulf and hated the Brit rations, think of tinned cheese that had gone liquid, Liver & bacon for a week as some idiot packet that for a weekly re supply drop! We made up our own E & E tins using tobacco tins. The most necessary item everyone forgets is soft toilet paper, round pebbles are no substitute for it in Oman jebels! Extras to be scrounged before a long patrols were :- tins of bully beef, oxo cubes, dried hers, curry powder, pre cooked rice, gee and tins of tobacco. Oh yea, a good shovel + steel file, an American poncho and a lightweight blanket. Yes, it gets cold at night and even rains in deserts! Oh the simple days of just Survival! Cheers mate Harera

Nice setup! If you ask me, I'd probably add a metal spoon for eating, cooking, and stirring your beverage of choice.

Flares! Yes! You are the first person I've watched to recommend flares!

Love the little chuckle when describing the pen flare wars with the “dumb privates” in Iraq.

The USGI poncho and the 1qt canteen/cup/stove/cover is probably the best piece of kit the military ever had that didn't make loud noise. Proven again and again

Thanks for showing us everything. Some future ideas along the same lines (which have been echoed elsewhere here): 1) A modified version for civilian use, perhaps sized down to a belt/fanny pack as its basis. 2) Now that we've seen Stage 3 (the pack) and Stage 2 (the belt), maybe you can share your thoughts on Stage 1 of our emergency gear: what we keep in our POCKETS. Whether it's a vest, a shirt, or a field jacket, let's see what we can fit in there . . .

Those of us who went through F8 training in the 80s and early 90s were taught way different. 1-Right BDU cargo pocket was Canteen, Cup, triangle bandage. 2-Left BDU cargo pocket was poncho, matches, batteries. LBE - Left strap- pressure dressing, compas, field knife/bayonet. Right strap- survival kit, light, glow sticks Web Belt- 2 canteen, 2 ammo pouch, gear pouches( poncho liner, 1 MRE, 550 chord, 100 mph tape, socks.) Rest was in rucksack.

Excellent, the stainless steel Dutch mess kit was my first ever kit upgrade! So much nicer than our UK issue aluminium ones.

Im old and was recon in Vicenza late 80s-early 90s. We still wore H harness (issued Y harness, but we always scrounged until we had H harness and a butt pack). Compass always went around our neck, and we could live 72hrs out of what was on our belt and butt pack. It's just damned practical. Those clear canteens are slick!

When I initially served with the British Army,, in the 1980's our belt kit layout was very similar, with SAS survival tins. Many of us used two cups instead of mess tins, due to the old 58 bottle and cup were plastic. So we use to carry the original 58 webbing metal cups to cook and poor the hot water into the plastic cup to drink and using the metal cups to eat out of. The Germans had another way of doing this, with a double metal cup system, that use to attach both ends of the water bottle. I still use my metal cup and old water bottle, and for a number of years, the US water bottle, cup and lid system.. Always interesting to see how things have developed, and I find this Ranger on You Tube extremely useful. Well done.

Sir, T Y for your dedication. Lofty Wiseman says in his manual IIRC basically that 2 quarts of water will get you through 24 hours of maneuver at 120 degrees F. In dry desert I would add at least 3 more quarts to that somehow. Belts alone have the tendency to drop around your ankles. Not just embarrassing. Good to be able to convert the belt instantly to a torso pack. Contents to add are Tylenol, cough drops, and disinfectant. T Y again!

Considering what is happening globally, you should have a million subscribers. But then again, that's our advantage.

Scottish breakfast tea and a shot of Glenlivet.

Omg! I was waiting for you to drop a video! THANKS ANDREW!!!!!
