Minimal Gear for a Winter Survival Overnight-Load-Out and Survival Exercise Plans

Description

In this video you will see the gear that I brought with me on a survival challenge.

I stayed out in the Canadian winter for 24 hours with no sleeping bag, sleeping pad, tent, or most gear that people normally use while winter camping.

I used just my centerline systems mother carrier and g roll canteen carrier and a minimal amount of gear that fit inside.

I wear a lester river boreal shirt made from a real wool blanket.

I snowshow in the deep snow to a patch of spruce trees, make a shelter and try to survive the night.

Make sure to tune in on Friday when I post the full trip video.

Thanks!

Video Transcription

how're you guys doing thanks for joining me I just found about the past five hours driving up here this is my staging point my normal place I come to my buddy's place up near a lot of accessible places for me to camp so it's been snowing snowing all day lots of snow outside predicted to snow today tomorrow the next day lots of snow this trip I'm about to do tomorrow so let me tell you a little bit more about it so normally I come up here and all because it takes so long to get up here I don't really want to start my trip tired and after a long drive so I stay here the night it's good to catch up with my buddy

and then I head out the next morning whether it takes me two hours to get where I'm going or 45 minutes that's what goes on so it's more off excuse me I'll get up and drive about the 45 minutes from here to the property that you might have seen a couple couple videos ago a Martin's place where I'm allowed to meet lots of different options for me to do things there well my my goal for this trip is to live out of my my centreline systems mother carrier and G roll so if you guys don't know about these you can check them out settle in systems this goes together right so this this buckles onto this I'll show you that at the end of this and I carried it over my shoulder with a strap so that's a pretty small load for a winter of Canadian winter overnight I have no sleeping bag I have no sleeping pad all right I just have what's here in this kit I'm gonna break this kit down on put all together and show you how I'm going to carry it also I have things next to me like my snowshoe my gaiters and my boreal shirt done way to be wearing my boots know that so I'll show you that too this is gonna be a pretty decent trip I am only going overnight but it's going to dip down to almost negative 10 is going negative 9 Celsius at night with all tons of snow so that's pretty pretty cold for not having any kind of singing bag receiving pad or anything like that yeah I'll be relying on fire and we'll be relying on building a shelter that traps

he only using what I have here at natural materials I've been wanting to do this type of video for a little bit here and with the snow coming down and all that stuff had the perfect opportunity so we'll start with this one first this is the mother carrier from centerline systems you can take the strap off of it and just strap this to your backpack using the molle I've done that did that in a past video not so long ago actually this thing's stuffed full of gear so it's kind of really hard to do things but anyways so that strap comes right off like I said you can use this on a backpack my heavy cover canteen it's titanium full of water that's the only one I'm gonna have I'll have to melt snow for the rest of it I've got my canteen cup in here as well get it packed in here higher okay that's the pick some stuff up first so in my front pocket here there's gonna be a pain to put all that but about three things trying to keep it all folded as it taking it I've got to emergency space blankets these are like the five by seven ish right unused and then I've got an my trail poncho this is a Silla and poncho from my trail and that's like that one all maybe four by six I can use that as a tarp so that's very very small thin sits in there might even be five by seven so that's the front pocket of just the mother carrier itself panting carrier so that's an empty the side has these pockets remember I have this is all I'm carrying over here right so I've got cliff energy blocks the shoes in the side I've also got a Bass Pro bar the mint chocolate it's got like 20 grams of protein so something decent and I've also got a granola bar that's all on the one side well sorry energy G Hughes coffee thing and a lens rag for my camera the other side

a baby Bell hefty amount of jerky pretty good

Costco jerky that's it outside now the canteen cup can come Oh super easy put that in there to boil my water in so that'll be my my water collection system along with the lid link goes in the back and then I also have this looked in soup I just have the favorite where to put it it slid back in the back at one point but again this is like I'm saying this is packing this thing to the gills and being honest so it's said it's full but so all of this stuff right here you see we're just in this mother carrier a canteen thing its own so I get this off the side will open up the next part which is called a gear roll or the G roll for short a gin chip chip chip okay so you can see this is pretty hefty as well I've got my gloves attached to here these are my Hester Oh fall line gloves I do not know if I'm going to bring just these gloves because there's hatch this or I fall bring my new gloves as well it's going to be cold and wet so I might bring these I really haven't decided yet I might bring both I don't know either way whatever I've got these gloves attached to here my carabiner I've got my cool little Scout pendant I got a subscriber got commissioned for me a while back very nice so I'm very cool I love this thing it's got a paste beads on it too no it doesn't okay so we'll get this thing opened up before that I'll pull out my axe this is my main tool I don't have a knife on this trip this is my grass first Brooks Oh door acts a little fancier of needles of beeswax burn it up a bit I normally don't do that but I thought was kind of cool
