Oh

okay moving on to from there use my spoon gun I made and some of my dry goods just some a corn flour I have leftover in my bag from my last outing here's my bear bag having a bear bag is incredibly important when you're in an area obviously with us bears but it also allows you to keep coyotes and raccoons and things like that away from your food you know I've had skunks all sorts of stuff come into my camp trying to get out my food and being able to tie it up in a tree really solves a lot of those problems

now our food just like you know you covered at home things like that you have dry goods it has to be a big bag of a knob I just keep things in bags and I like to keep this all tied up nice and tight and I hold my food on my sides and my main pouch in it I have a lot of room still in this bag for you know 10 12 pounds of food and once I get to my location then I take it all out of my ruck and I put it into here and then hang in the tree because I found that it's easier to pack food when it's in its small State you can wedge it in in strange places but if you have a big dry bag filled with food oil takes up like my whole rucksack you know so this way it gives me the option of carrying a lot of food and you know just kind of finding crevices to to stick the food in obviously while that of edibles is part of our food as well right so I always have my books with me edible medicinal trees never leaves my rock I know that I know a lot of edibles I know a lot a doubles this book knows a whole lot more you know before I put all this gear away I figured I just show something that that you'd never know about and that's the last three or four inches of this bag on this pocket it's all tinder actually pieces seen you in there too for arrowheads and things like that

he's just woodland materials as yellow birch gray birch all sorts of stuff down there there's even some cattail lots of resources that just fill up the bottom just get compressed all my books and everything sit on top of it and that way if I run into a problem and I need to make fire I need to find tinder I always get some at the bottom my pocket so I you with a plate at home sure enough you were the plate in the woods too right takes up no space at all no weight at all one side is for breads and non meat items the other side is for meat here's an item that can give me some food if I am a good shot of course my slingshot another food item my long hunter kit it's filled with snares I got like 15 in there and then braided steel and their 65 pound test cost my arrows helped me to gather food as well whether it be square wheel rabbit deer you name it I can kill it another food item of course

one of my boats so we got hunting we got fishing so there's my fishing kit and of course for fabricating tools and all those such things that my needs require that I can carry with me carry the four tools knife folding saw my axe I have a couple but this is probably my favorite it's a small forest axe grandpa's Brooks I keep it protected from snow and rain sleet weather in general with this wool sock and of course the fourth tool is a spoon knife so overall it's a it's very clean it's very concise it's very tight I don't have things bouncing around flying around and tied and jerry-rigged or anything like that it's small its agile you know it's very light I weighed it before I left it's only 34 pounds you know I've hiked with this 15 miles into the New Hampshire wilderness straight into the mountains you know no issues at all it's not it's not overly bearing at all 34 pounds is not a lot you know you can still add you know ten pounds of food on to this which is a lot of food and you know you're only talking forty four pounds so it meets my needs while at the same time even this small bag you know I still have room for more gear as you can see I mean there's just tons of room in here I'm not even using you know so by understanding what I really need to meet my needs it allows me to have a smaller kit more agile kit than a big lumbering monster
