Fire, Food, Shelter & More | Primitive Camping Gear Essentials

This episode kicks off a 4 week Fundamental Friday series by diving deep into my complete primitive camping loadout. You’ll see exactly what I pack, how I organize it, and the reasoning behind every item, including:

Fire redundancy: Ferro rod, Bic lighter, char cloth, and even a pencil sharpener for tinder.

Cutting tools: Belt knife (Mora Garberg), backup knife, multi-tool, and folding saw.

Cooking gear: Bush pot, skillet, wood burning grill, cutting board, and seasoning containers.

Food & drink: Freeze-dried meals, tortillas, powdered milk, trail mix, and drink mixes. 
(if you are interested in my new homemade freeze-dried meals email me at [email protected] I will be offering:
 Breakfast, (Southern) Red Beans & Rice, Chicken Stew and Shepherd's Pie)

Water systems: GRAYL filter, 6L gravity bag, and backup metal bottle for boiling.

Shelter: DD 3x3 tarp, wool blanket, hammock, and a blow-up mattress for flexibility.

Comfort & safety: First aid kit, solar lanterns, gloves, shemagh, change of clothes, and even a folding camp chair.

If you’ve ever wondered how to put together a primitive camping kit that covers every base without overpacking, this video lays out the blueprint.
