Hidden Woodsmen M55 Haversack Hot Weather Survival Kit

Howdy Dave, you brought back some great memories today! When I was eight years old my grandfather gave me a WWII US Army M-1941 haversack filled with what he called "Rogers Rangers essentials for survival bag" and began instructing me on camping and survival. It was that training by my grandfather that would come in handy later when I went into the military during the Vietnam War.

One can form no appreciable idea's of what one man is capable of achieving, until he has been multi purposing out on the far side...! This is a testimony as to how, a good life requires good planning, especially during a wilderness survival situation. Thank you for your support in educating people to so many innovative bushcraft and survival ideas.  Keep those ideas brewing! Stay lifted & enjoy your weeks end!

Back in the day net hammocks were all we could get so we made them work. Just being off the ground was awesome.

Hi Dave. I was so happy to see you posted another video. Joining you on all your adventures (via YouTube) for years now.

Hi Dave, Ramboo here😁 You once had a list of over 210 items for a survival bag. I met that list if you remember my bragging. But here is how you further instructed me over the years watching you. The biggest lesson was multi-uses of thingys:) I only weigh 130# and can’t possibly carry a back pack that a man can. So I have a snow sled that I can pull items over most terrains. But my survival pack is much like you showed today. It goes over my shoulder, with s tarp/army blanket rolled, attached under that bag. Here’s the cool thing… The bag is actually a tool roll with six heavy duty compartments. I can’t even begin to list all the items of choice in this bag! From shelters, cutting tools, water purification, signaling, fire starting in multiple choices, warmth, medical, hunting/fishing to name a few categories! You my bushcraft go to, made it all a challenge & fun. Thanks! ~~~~Ramboo

Love that Haversack buddy... looks absolutely perfect for this! And you've certainly got that kit 100% dialed in too by the looks of it 👍 Thanks for the in-depth look my Brother!

I come to see Dave to not only relax, but learn how to survive if I mess up in the woods. Thanks Dave!

“I have to go get something out of my other bag” 😂😂😂 I friggin love ya brother 🤣

The more options you allow yourself to have the better your situation will be. Excellent video Dave thank you for sharing this information.

Jeez, I was just starting into a recent Wooded Beardsman video and got a notification from the really big monkey, had to switch gears and see what you’re up to. ✌️That pack is similar to a GI medic’s pack I have in woodland camo. A great piece of gear. Those big green rubber bands are new to me. Great bunch of gear Dave

Morning Dave can't wait. I look forward to these vids every week. Can't to see whats in this kit.

The most important thing is that you present options for every aspect of survival great tips David

David's always it's so good to see you thinking about teaching us as a Vietnam vet net hammocks wonderful stay safe stay warm keep the faith brother Dave

Hi Dave, at the end of the video you walked like "Long John Silver"😂. Another great video, please stay safe everyone.

Never heard of the transference bag before. Very cool🐸

Great thinking Dave. I'm a big fan of having a sleeping bag liner aka travel sheet. You can use it as intended or fill it with leaves and ferns and you have a mattress of sorts for warmth and comfort. Under that hammock would be nice for not only support but also warmth and or bug protection.

Hey, Dave, nice video. That pack / haversack is a great looking bag. Multi use, multi functional. As you have it set up, and the items you're carrying are great. This bag would make a great addition to any collection. Thanks for bringing this to us and sharing. God bless y'all and stay safe out there in the wilderness.

Great kit! The giant rubber bands could be a gamer changer! Thanks for sharing!

Hi 👋 Dave, great kit for hot weather, I’m glad to be able to join you on your adventure s, I would not want to miss any of them. Thanks Dave for being there for all us thru the years.

Another informative and useful video Dave! Glad you stressed the importance of hydration. Especially the heat we get here in the South. Hope to see a shelter video soon… maybe when it gets cooler! Have fun and stay hydrated!
