    Great video. My son watched it and immediately wanted me to take him to the
    various outdoor gear and surplus stores to take him to buy his own gear
    (apparently mine isn’t good enough : ) We’ll done!!

    Hey luke great video as always. Just one thing i’d like to add to complete
    the five C’s of survivability is cordage, not too much just about 30 feet
    of jute twine. I know that backpacking/camping and survival are very
    different but I think its important for every camper or hiker to have some
    basic survival knowledge and items. Therefore is you do follow the 5 C’s of
    survivability then cordage is important and could definitely come in handy
    while camping. Thank you again

    the panty hose is actually quite resourceful

    Why would someone make fun of you for using pantyhose in a survival
    situation? If you have friends who would do that, they’re not friends..
    they’re ridiculous redneck meatheads.

    There are dozens of things pantyhose are useful for, including part of a
    particle filter for water, temporary replacement radiator belt for your
    car, strainer for paint & almost anything else and lots, lots more. No one
    should be razzing you about the pantyhose.

    After watching this video I thought I would make a run to my local
    Goodwill. Believe it or not I found an old Girl Scout mess kit, complete
    with all items inside. Awesome

    every item you picked up from the thrift store had the exact same bar code

    And many and I mean many men use panty hose to layer for winter warmth
    during hunting, backpacking and even during a major snow shoveling. Let
    wives, girlfriends and anyone who wears hose a lot and they can show you a
    layer of warmth you never knew,

    US Navy Seals wore pantyhose in Vietnam to keep leeches off of them while
    standing in rivers all night long waiting in ambush. Tease one of them
    about it.

    That was pretty creative work you did there. I would have never thought
    about using pantyhose for a stuff sack, but that did work rather well.

    I can think of at least 20 things you could use pantyhose for which
    shatters the “it must have 3 uses to be packed” rule.

    I love your ideas. I have a suggestion. Can you make a video of just uses
    for other things. Such as your idea of bread clips for clothes pins that
    you talked about in another video. I’m always looking for ideas on this
    subject. And there are none here on you tube. I’ve looked. Just anything
    that would be needed or could come in handy to lighten or cut down the bulk
    of the load when camping or back packing

    Pantyhose are also good for touching up the polish on army boots. They pack
    down small enough to keep in your pocket. It was the worst kept secret when
    I did military service.:)
