It is fun. The thing i like about snowshoeing is just getting of the trail. Are you join us for this
gear review... you can.... it's fine You don't even need to... if you don't want to say
much but.... Yeah. Alright.... I am... Cody's like, No. I'm taking my chair away. I... some guy eating
noodles while you guys are going through the equipment. Tyson is like all all set
to go here. I'm not going to go through all my camera gear but this is my secret
camera bag filled with all my equipment.
And so mostly what I carry is actually camera gear and I supplement with
survival gear. And so I carry my multi-tool, of course, have my watch with
the compass, phone with compass, and
texting if.. or calls if possible, often its not possible....
beacon. I'm using this inflatable water bottle right now.
And microphone not part of my survival... a water purifier SteriPEN, ultraviolet water
purifier, headlamp, food and survival blanket. Thank you, Tyson for radios on
this trip. My stabilizer or camera. and I'll do another review about this...
.... this is a sony a6300 which i love and hate... and a Couger 45
i'm carrying just two clips with me because with that magazine
I mean magazine say yeah and with me um because if they're just heavy, they are a lot
extra weight.... and that's pretty much everything I'm carrying on this trip.
What are you carrying Tyson? Again like he was saying I brought the radios first
aid kit snake bite kit, I didn't really expect to
find anything at this far west. I think I did see a snake it or heard it.
Really? There are timber rattlers around here which is really
unusual for.... Seems pretty cold.... yeah but the rocks can get so hot, yeah,
it's basically like a desert. Yesterday it was really cool but I'm pretty sure
I saw one. Yeah, well, I'm glad I brought it. Flint and steel of magnesium,
life straw, lots of mosquito repellent, emergency whistle, trail tape, some extra extra tape
for the first aid, various flashlights, compass, multi-tool. Forgot I brought that.
Sleeping bag, emergency sleeping bag, this knife... protection.... also any easy one
to make a spear out of if you need to, extra battery discharges both the radios and
my phone, I was using my phone for the GPS. I use open.... its OSMAD... and it's
basically open street maps offline. GPS at works we ran a GPX track. which you
can upload open street maps. or any other standard GPS or GIS software, mace. I
think there's a little bigger for possibly cats. They're out of the bear mace.
Gloves. Thought about bringing two pairs of gloves. It did tear... this is just pig
skin looks pretty thin... ended up tearing a little bit of this inside the cave, a
big water bottle and a pack. I think that's It. Yeah. If it's
colder weather I will carry more layers with me.... a lot more layers.... but with the
emergency blanket and the layers I had with me I had enough to stay warm.
One thing I want to that I really like, which is really simple, somebody was commenting
well that's... you know... you could have a lot better compass and I... this... the main
reason I have this is... mines down in the rig.... is for the whistle,
are out there and everything else fails you just can't yell for a long time.
You've got maybe 15 minutes... an hour or an hour be a long time, you'd be
completely hoarse whereas you can just breathe through one of these and and
sound a whistle and it's very.... it's going to carry a lot farther than your voice
in a lot of cases. Just an amazing tool to have with you especially a multi-tool
like this where you do have a compass and as far as a compass, you know I am
not trying to track down points, you know, if I'm using my compass for survival. I
just need to have a general heading that I know I'm going in a certain direction.
And really for survival when you're going to want to stay stay put and so a
lot of times I just want something that the easy access and good that I can
glance at and if I have this hook to my vest or jacket I can just say okay I'm
headed north or south or Eastern what that's the heading I want to go. I'm, yeah...
so.... I don't know, I think it's a great little multi-tool. Interesting thing
about mace - my brother was mentioning this... I hadn't heard this recently,
He was saying that people are saying it's better to have bear mace actually and
you use the bear mace first, that's more effective, yeah there's more instances
successful warding of large animals with mace versus actual guns,
at least statistically. I think that's interesting and you know I think it's a
really good tool to have with you and more effective and something I would
like to add to my... my tool bag... but I do like
collapsible types of water bags like this too because it's way lighter than any
other sort of container. As you drink it it can it loses space, so you don't have
something as bulky hanging around and I can use my SteriPEN in here so it back
up as well so I think that's just a really cool functional thing. I'm not
going to boil water in it, but, you know, that's okay. Oh here's another knife, and another knife.
he pulls out. I really do need to get a flint too.... a flint and steel. Cody actually
brought the real waterproof matches here. Heat
can just be so it's so important and I've always been kind of opinion that
you know something happens I just need to truck out of there but if you have a
broken leg you can't do that it's at least as fast or potentially not at all,
but also if you run out of food for some reason your body can't, even if you're
keeping in motion, it won't have the combination, you won't have the energy to
keep going to keep your body temperature up. I know I'm just usually always
hot because I"m moving quite a bit when I'm out here, and so that heat having a fire
source can be really important before everything starts going wrong. That is...
the story behind those it's kind of funny, yeah I can see it on the blade, I think,
it says, like, yeah, it's a wedding gift.... That's kind of what I want to got to.
Yeah well he gave thim to the the groomsmen before the wedding and his brother
promptly opens it in cuts his thumb. He had to go in and get some... I don't
think he had stitches, but he cut it really deep. I was like Ryan, you give
those to the gift like that after the wedding, but this one well that's exactly
what happened I was uh actually got something to get the driver away from
the knife because so many of them like right here and you're like oh then you
got the ball nubs on the side. I bought the SOG tomahawk and it had that tight
plastic six plastic thing around it and as you know I'm tearing it open and
there wasn't... it was just like this little nubby thin blade protector on
there..... but my thumb just went...
push that thing off and that thing was razor-sharp. I was
like why did they package it that way because it has a nice nylon holder that
it comes with. I really I have a hard time... cuase usually everything's too safe
trusting knives, like this like this feels a little down that is a little
weak. yeah yeah. Compared to some otheres. This one pretty good yeah this
one here I trust this one a lot more but that's because you got to push on the back.
You can't have a switchblade, but you can have that.
My brother has given me the majority of my (knives you've got a lot of knives)
which I appreciate. My dad has given me one or two too. And I have my own.
This has become one of my favorite, well I went on a trip recently, I didn't take it with me,
but I like how everything slides out really easy.
What else. I guess that's the main thing. I guess we should have
talked about the Repel. Did it work? Cus it's deet free,
it's kind of like this new thing.
I didn't use the Repel. Did you use the Repel. I use just the
Cutter, I think. This stinks, it works this smells sweet and it seems to work.
Oh yeah I use the Cutter this is this house deet ...deet free? yeah that's there
deet free. It did it did work. And those mosquitoes were bad. Yeah, down by
that thing, when I when when I decided to go up to the road,
I mean good grief, I was just getting swarmed like mosquitoes, like if, I was
going to come back to you I was about ready to pull out more I'm sorry myself
again yeah they're just awful.
Buck. Yeah, I was.... they were getting really bad where I was, that was just
a really horrible space down there. Hard to see. I mean somebody could be in there...
I wonder what that was like, I mean that creek had to be flowing
super strong, but yet somebody couldn't be washed down, I wouldn't think.
Well if the storm of the centry or whatever. They crossed it during the search.
I spent a ton of time going through... trying to get so I could like.... have this more
compartmentalize inside there so it's not just crashing around. mm-hmm. I went all over the place
In the cosmetic section they have like bag kind
of like this, but they're like $6. In the camping area they had one but they were
like they're too big, I mean, I have three sizes and the one size would have been great
and it was $6. I went into the school section and found these which you're
supposed to go in a binder, mm-hmm and they were like, I think it was $2.00.
That was as cheep asI can find them. Interesting. But it's just.... I wanted to be able to
have things held together a little better. yeah. That's a good idea. Yeah I need to
get a bigger... I'd like a bigger camera because I need everything padded... yeah...
like all my gear padded, but I need to keep my... keep it separate especially you don't
want a knife... it's in a pad here, but some things you don't want clanking together.
Okay, the story behind this knife is funny too. It's a first production run.
it's numbered. I don't know if that means anything it's a Smith & Wesson. I
bought this in grade school from a kid for $30. Behind
the school in the playground. It's a secret knife deal? I don't know sounds
like it. yeah. It's Smith and Wesson. That kind of reminds me my dad tells
stories of growing up in eastern Montana and it was just normal to bring your
rifle to school. What? That's weird and he said you know back in those days getting
in fist fights was... standard.... standard well he stayed out of trouble he'd
wrestle or get in a fist fight once a month or a couple times a month. huh. you
know. even if you weren't a troublemaker. right. Just like, you know,different
era. It was just normal to bring your rifle to school and hunt on your way in or
on your way out. Where was this at? Eastern Montana. So, uh, he, he's like, you
know, we brought our guns to school and left with them and got in fistfights
which, never even thought about mixing up the two. I think that generation has a
lot more like, guns or for hunting, I think, more than like my uncle
perhaps nowadays it younger generations... You know my uncle, lifelong Democrat,
yeah huge gun collection, yeah thinks nothing of it, yeah. I think that the
people nowadays, with kids and not necessarily have that mindset maybe I
don't know. Maybe the kids back then did well there's so little about guns
especially on TV it's more prevalent where guns are used for running and
shooting other people and other people, rather than a tool, yeah, speaking a tool
with your USB could that be like a multi-purpose thing. I'm sure it could.
Couldn't you strangle bear with this or something. yes. Create a snare.
Snare bear.
