The Hardside Hydration Giveaway is closed and @kcriggins1 your lucky random winner. Thank you all for participating!

I keep about 20ft of paracord, but I also carry 100ft of 80lb braided fishing line. I can lash branches, make snares, tie stuff to pack, fish, sew and whatever else you can imagine. That way my heavier cordage stays heavy! We have kept a roll around for years when we had our farm. It's amazing stuff. And since it's made for fishing it is VERY abrasion proof. Like it's hard to cut with a knife

I would also like to recommend that i started using gitd reflective 550 cord on all my tie outs at a difference it makes at night as everyone is walking around... you can't miss it... I've always used od green or muted colors but recently switched to bright and a huge difference

[mtnmnkymilitia]

You need pliers in the backcountry....pulled about 100 porcupine quills out of my dogs mouth and face 10 miles from the truck on Monarch Crest trail

Love my Leatherman Surge, too. You’re right that the wood saw is very effective.

[GutiTheJ]

The area you live in and travel in are beautiful, while I'm in the northeast and am not shy to nature, the mountains youre around are astounding.

[alexpaulk]

The Leatherman Surge is the best product they ever made. I love mine. It has gotten me out of more jams than I can count and gets used regularly for a myriad of day to day tasks.

[bencole]

So many videos on EDC and survival tools miss the "mental distraction" component. Thank you for the great idea.

[joemama]

Looks great... If I may suggest... Get a high quality baseplate or sighting compass so you can set a course away from your location and safely return. Also, if you get stranded for a few days, you will need a more substantial tarp to create shelter and/or wrap around yourself to keep warm. The emergency blanket you have will not hold body heat. Consider using a messenger bag/haversack, as these will allow you to easily carry things like tarps and ponchos.

[nickmartino]

You've always been a staple for me for not only great gear recommendations but just being an all around good person in general.... thanks man!!!!and I use depending sometimes 550 sometimes #36 Bank line and recently been going with tecnora line...

[MaveRick-prepper]

Putting tape over your signal mirror is a good idea. I'll give you one of my ideas. A few years ago, I switched from Bankline and #550 paracord to #550 braided fishing line. It has the same strength as standard paracord but is only as thick as a single inner strand of paracord. I recently picked up a rope making tool so that I can process 4 strands of fishing line into #2200 cord. It might still be thinner than standard paracord.

[gregblake]

Nice setup. I carry 20 ft of SurviorCord which covers a lot of fiber related bases. Big fan of the Leatherman Surge. Got mine at REI for $120 by using a 20% off member coupon about 3 years ago. I would add a mini sewing kit and a credit card size fresnel lens. Neither take up much room and are extremely light. Thanks for sharing, your backup flashlight is the bomb.

[OldMountaineer]

Great video, good comments and info. I waffle back and forth on pliers. They really come in handy for repairs. If you’ve ever had to sew thick webbing, you’ll really appreciate pliers to help pull the needle through rather than trying to push it all the way through. I had the shoulder strap break on a backpack while in the backcountry once. I was technical mountaineering so the pack was very heavy (ropes, protection, ice tools). I did not have anything to stitch it with, so I had to knot the webbing together. The strap was way too tight, but I made do. A heavy needle, heavy nylon thread, and pliers would have allowed me to repair it in a much more useable way.

[JoshSchmidt-eumw]

A multi-tool with pliers and a saw is worth its weight. Can’t count how many times I need pliers for just everyday use.

[jeffreydrake]

I always carry both 550 & #36 bank line. Also carry a Victorinox ranger.

[morganacanon]

Do you carry any sort of food? I keep lifeboat biscuits or cliff bars, honey sticks and instant coffee in mine. Getting lost sucks, but its a lot better with a cup of coffee and a touch of breakfast! One other thing I carry is several of the "strobe" fireworks. They are tiny, weigh nothing, but can be seen for miles even at dusk. To be found, you have to be seen!

[hanno_t]

Agree on the pliers. I use the Helikon Tex Essential Gear Bag - it is bigger, but also holds a small med kit and the water bottle so for those 3-4 hour hikes, it is the only bag I need to take.

[fyvewytches]

One of the first things that I take is a good quality pair of bright binoculars. They don’t need to be massive. I don’t see any of these survival type videos ever even mentioning that item. A good quality compass is better than the useless thing you have there. And a small foldable solar panel is also a must with a multiple usb, usb-c, micro usb, lightning cable. As for a small light, I would suggest taking a look at the Wuben X3 with its optional powerbank. It lasts for weeks on a single charge. I got a couple from their kickstarter.

[ozarkswoodsman]

My headlamp is a Fenix HM61R V2, you can remove it from the headband and have a 90° flashlight with a magnetic base. I took the factory reflective headband off and put an olive drab Princeton Tec band on (just had to make 2 little cuts in the baseplate).

[StevanOutdoor]

Great loadout and good that you mention to also bring it on day hikes. I EDC an SAK in my pocket but in my outdoor survival pouch is a simple multitool with pliers. I think all stuff in your outdoor survival pouch should be redundant so in normal situations you don't even have to open it. If you take things out and forget to put them back your are now outdoors without the item.
