I’ve had mres from a few different countries, Spanish ones are by far the worst
Nordvpn sponsors camping that is so stupid

Try some Canadian MRE

En til til ville have været godt, et Survival Kit, af en god kvalitet.
Knife name
Where do you buy your MRE’s?
German mre would be cool to see
French MREs..!
Try italian and german or austrian.
With the paracord.. why can i imagine that taking up an equally small space wrapped in a simple coil?
What they gonna do find me in the woods
Daaaam bro that was an edgy comment “ it gets thick when its wet” 👀
this is how I used to camp, hatchet, wool blanket, can of puritan corned beef hash, can of baked beans, kniofe and a lighter all in a WWII haversack. Friends thought I was insane, they with their done tents and down sleeping bags, me in a pine bow lean too, on a pine bow mattress, under a wool blanket in february in Canada.
stinky spanish menu … perfect 🙂
try Croatian MRE
Good show 👍
Spanish ration with chicken and pasta. They’re trolling 😂
Called widow makers
Thank you brother for sharing. Wishing you good health❤❤❤❤
What coat is that please?
Underwear, sock 1, sock 2, knife and a hatchet
How about an Israeli MRE?
Tools should be an exception…
Heavy stove- luxury
Nice small ratchet/axe/saw- necessity
5 item camp setup not including food, water, and load carriage equipment: jetboil, tent, mat, sleeping bag, leatherman.
1970’s British Army ration packs,10 man and 24 hr pack.all in tins adding weight. Processed cheese in a tin, inedible dog biscuits, chicken supreme, corned dog. i always took salt, pepper, mixed herbs and garlic on manouvers
Thank you
Oh come on, you bring mare’s but don’t bring a SPOON!
Love ur vids.
Where can I get that blanket and ur jacket?
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, thank you sharing this informative and entertaining video. Survival camping 🏕 is not easy. Stay safe out there. 😊
i hate being advertised to like this. it triggers somthing deep inside of me. im sorry but i can no longer enjoy this or any video of yours again. i feel like my trust had been betrayed
Tea and hot chocolate is good early morning or late night
Hey very good video ! For being french I can tell that the french ration ar marvellous ! My favourite menu is the 7th ( the first meal Asians chiken and shrimp then it is pasta and beef )
Loving your videos, I’m new to the channel and inexperienced with wild camping. What is the best way to light a fire if you want to leave no trace? I’m thinking building it in a hole but unsure.
Could you actually do a 5 item challenge and include the bag and first aid I want to if it is possible because I’m thinking on taking on this challenge in a couple weeks to come😁
I understand if you’re unwilling/unable to provide yourself with food via foraging or camping. But for a mere 24 hour trip, it would be appreciated to see you redo this and count food toward your items. That part totally killed this in the beginning. Appreciate your vids, but I don’t agree with or appreciate not counting the food. If you don’t want to count it don’t bring it.
Excellent. I’ve got so much kit, also 40 years experience. Going back to basics with a queen size merino wool blanket, a knive, bit of cordage, poncho, firesteel and some food. Ive some private woodland also. It really is surprising Going back to basics, no more than I used to solo camp in the early 1980s!!!
Great to see, ❤
Were did you get that knife from
I like that use the available materials around you
5 ITEM CAMPING CHALLENGE but i pack 7 that dont count towards the 5 items!!
I live in Australia. We pay almost double what you pay in the USA. $500 for a large Osprey backpack as an example. We can’t even buy stuff from USA websites that sell outdoor gear. You guys in the USA are so lucky. Oh and you can carry guns, we can’t and if we were found with one we would go to jail
Hmmm. I’m not convinced that two ready-to-cook meal packs including a tooth brush, a stove, matches and combustible material, a large oiled tarp, paracord and a big knife for a one-night stay are really ‘minimal gear’ … And that tea thing seems to be a British obsession. You had your hot chocolate, didn’t you?
Good video but to be fair a tent counts as one item
You dont need mutch if you know what you do
Australian MREs
Apologizing for wind and dark adds nothing to your otherwise very good video.
What about Italian MRE?
Tent, sleeping bag, lighter, pot, spoon. Throw some small sticks down, cover em with moss, tent over top so the moss makes a sleeping pad. Then the rest of the night is chill out and relax in comfort. If I wanted a fire, easily done with my hands breaking sticks over my knee, but honestly the fire would just be for fun, since I would bring an appropriate sleeping bag. Or just break two sticks and use them as chopsticks and instead of the spoon bring a sleeping pad. 5 items is too easy. 🙂
Dude, that MRE sucks. Also, I really like your pot hanger. Most youtube bushcrafters will make this overly complicated setup just to hang a little pot of water. Last time I went out, I just whittled a long stick by making a plowpoint at one end, and a notch on the other. The plow point forced it down over the fire, compressing the dirt, so it won’t droope to low with weight added. Then I made my pot hanger to hang from the notch on that stick. Two pieces of wood, and no wasted paracord. KISS.
