Great stuff. I would keep that helmet as a souvenir. And get another one to wear everyday. One day when you're older you can have that as a memory.

2nd video I've seen, Well done. Good work on the Pack, no nonsense, for all levels.

Nice setup. What brand jacket are you wearing?? I think if there was a chance of having to spend the night I’d add a small ziplock of instant soups, oatmeal and one of those woobie military poncho liners that you could use with that tarp. Also I’m always curious how people can participate in search and rescue working a full time job? Tks for another good video!

Nice video. Pro tip: leave your Chem lights in the package. UV light degrades the Chem inside.

Get a real first aid kit from NAR or REFUGE medical. That’s important for life in general.

Good video tho. Thanks for making it. Cheers bud!

I agree with you on the heavier pack...I use the Gregory baltoro 65 and it carries weight so well...I'm in the 25 to 28 lb area depending on how many days I'm out and it is so comfortable...Rated for 50 lb I barely can tell I'm wearing a pack at 25 lb...

You have several sub-kits packed which makes for good organization in your pack, but I noticed that most of them are in pouches made of heavy cordura. The CPR and First Aid kit needs to be protected, but your clothes and hygiene kits could be placed in a lighter set of stuff sacks, like the REI lightweight nylon ditty bags, which would save you ounces and take up less space in your pack. Just a thought, I know that ounces over miles become heavy. Thanks for volunteering! I had great success calling out our local S&R Team when I worked in LE. Fantastic people.

Great Video ! My Watch EDC is a NATO style watchband with an Automatic watch that is EMP proof and you do not have to worry about over winding ! Also on the watchband is the Suunto clip-on button compass that is a great back-up compass and is the one I use the most ! In the State of New Mexico you may need a seat belt cutter/AF seat belt webbing cutter to rescue the pilot and/or crew of aircraft (or alien space craft)... ! Remember "The Ten Essentials" by the Seattle Mountaineers ! tjl

4:34 that’s called a “buzz saw”. Used them in Afghanistan a few times.

Have you considered carrying a 26k mah powerbank instead of the solar charger? Its about the same weight but you can fast charge a phone 5x regardless of sunlight and exposure. I can send you a link of one that I've field tested if you're interested.

would something you could inflate either by hand/mouth or canister suffice or does it have to be prefilled for the rescue line?

Hi, Thank you for your video presentation I was interested in the shirt that you're wearing also, is that a, ORVIS brand shirt/jacket? Could you provide insight to that more because I was on their website thank you in advance for your help

Hardest part of using trek poles is telling your parents you’re gay
