My very first surplus bag was a korean war gas mask bag. I had that thing for years. Think i paid less than 5 bucks at a trade show when i was around 14 or 15.

Hi Blackie, greeting from Australia, thank you for your time to make these videos. I thinking why don’t you add a net to the outside of the haversack, with a lock cord for adjustment,multiple uses, just an idea for you to think about.

Good video.. i recently bought one I'll defintely keep these tips in mind.. thanks

Try Sawyer Picaridin insect repellent comes in a spray or lotion…I use the lotion to keep ticks out of my body wear your clothing has openings neck face hands above your socks especially ears. Then spray your clothes with Sawyer Permethrin it last 6 weeks or six washes the stuff is great. I have a lot of deer and wildlife so we get a ton of ticks but not with the Sawyer stuff and it helps with mosquitoes and I have a fish pond. Have fun stay safe.

So Blackie, I really like your channel. I have been subscribed for a while now. one question I have to ask, is why are you useing an image of some old man that only vaguely resembles you in your video title clips? you are NOT an ugly man. it should be your face out there. And, I have to agree with you on merino wool. my brother turned me onto them several years ago. GOOD stuff.

A rectangular shaped bottom would be nice.

I’d buy a pattern if you sell one to make my own haversack but I hope you make them

Eating more onions and garlic in your diet helps keep the flies and mosquitoes away naturally. I had an old Warrant Officer that was in the Vietnam war and he always ate onions, onion soup, fresh garlic, and garlic salt. He told me to add that to my diet and you would not need to use repellents. Plus repellents worked against you as the enemy could smell you. Onions and garlic made you smell more like the enemy. The acids in onions and garlic leach out in your sweat and keeps the mosquitoes and flies away. I started do that when I deployed to Central and South America and it worked. Works great here in the U.S..

Haversack looks Great, Would like to see a couple D-Rings on them, one on each side, or at least just one…to clip something on the haversack

Hello, sir! I just wanted to say that I'd be willing to pay top dollar for one of your haversacks. If you're making a premium product, it's reasonable that I pay a premium price for it. That said, perhaps the cost would come down a bit if you shipped us the materials and had us assemble it ourselves. It would offer a little room for us to make our own modest modifications and would save your niece some time. To go even further, you could sell the assembly instructions and specific items (how to make oilcloth/waxed canvas, which zippers and snaps you recommend, etc) and have us buy exactly what we need. That would bring the number of shipments down to one; supplier to us, because you could send the instructions by email. Just riffing here. Take care out there!

As a Florida bowhunter for over 30 years I treat clothes and boots with Permethrin, run a Thermocell for mosquitos and wear a pricey but affective Shannon's Bug Tamer. Too hot? Dip it in water and put it back on. Great video.

They are for sure attracted to blood type. What about garlic 🧄 it repelled vampires and blood suckers. And the undead .

Will give it a try. Thank you for the response, Blackie.

I am not a medical professional, but most folks would benefit from B 12 and other supplemts due to the lack of nutrients in the soil and the American diet. Please consult with your Doctor prior to making any changes in the supplements you are considering taking. Everyone is different.

Is the spacer a Trangia wind shield ? If so what size it the 27 or the 25 ? And what is the black thing around it? Thanks for the video probably works better than the Coleman oven that you would use on the stove. My understanding with the Coleman oven you need to use a small pizza stone on the bottom inside the oven to also reduce the heat to stop from burning the biscuits.

Wore them all of my life. Dad was a lifer. I still have mine issued to me in the 70s and three liners. With layers to go between the three and the jacket you can go from slightly cold to full blown freeze and all three of them compressed in a bag weigh nothing in my pack. Learning to shuck or add layers at the correct time is the key.

I’ve found that I don’t need a pillow for my head in my hammock but definitely need a pillow under my knees.

Citronella

I'd say the dream cap & ball revolver is a Stainless Ruger Old Army, LOL!

I live south of Willian Collins and north of the Gulf Coast. A mixture of piney woods and marshlands. The best brand for my area I have found is a brand called ‘Marshlands’.

Yea, Sold Out!

@blackie, stop. LOL You have to give us that picture you used as a thumbnail I need that as wallpaper :)

Good tick tip.

Hello Blackie, I appreciate that you want to keep costs down. Another option is to sell your pattern to people who have the ability to make them ourselves. I actually enjoy making well designed bags. Being a woman, I can imagine using beautiful colored or patterned canvas and adding decorative stitching. 😅 Yeah. That’s just my bent. 🤭

Great video, Blackie!

The best mosquito repellent I ever had was Rhodesian Ridgebacks. They're bred to not have insects bother them. I had them for twelve years and mosquitos rarely bothered me when their scent was on me.

It's hard to believe, but you always have a great video. Thank you, again. Take care and God bless!

Using a ThermaCell hooked to my belt or pack has worked well for me.

Good tips and tricks. I have found that when I eat Onions and Garlic the bugs don't want anything to do with me. I also use Permethrin on my gear and clothing and let it dry before using them.

Blackie, how and what did you use to treat that horse fly bite you got in a recent video?

Timely video Blackie, thank you. Good tip about the lidocaine.

Thermacell works really well in no-wind conditions. For body-wide bite relief, a shower with a peppermint shower gel if you can find any.

Blackie, Thanks for the great info. One big point. You are a cat lover, as I. Please let all your followers know Permethrin is TOXIC to cats. Yes I know we are not going to spray our cats with it, but when we treat our clothes with it, we have to keep our cats away, and keep them away from us, when we are wearing the treated clothes. Same with Thermacell Mosquito repellent, keep your cats away, please. Thank You.

Are the Silver wolves payin attention? Class for Oct has already started! Thx Blackie!.. also sir, I emailed you about a spot. I dont know if you got it? And nothing I "click" on takes me to "dndwc"... please advise.

Thankyou Blackie for covering more on bug repellent in this video.

Blackie that was a great bit of information for us silver wolfs I absolutely love your information it makes sense I know the bark removal and it sucks thank you Blackie 👍

I'm a firm believer in. No perfumes, deodorants or anything with a fragrance and that includes clothes. The all natural smell is the only way to go. At least it helps.

Awesome tutorial brother..!! 🐻

Love the haversack...looks even better than the Pathfinder

There's plenty of buffalo in Nepal.. not sure what the leathers like though 😂

I have great results with picardin bug repellent

Permethrin on the clothes and Ben's 100 on the skin is the way to go!!

nice looking Red Hawk. Have some deet and permitrhin ordered , trying to get equipment ready to take the boys out. This was a timely video.

Blackie ain't thats for sure😳🤣🤣

Howdy,, this yr has been the worst for nc and ticks and mowskitoes ,, within two days ive had to remove two ticks from my dangly parts man talk about itchy misery 😂😂 thanks Mr Black

Thanks for the useful advice, Mr. Thomas. Knew about treating clothing, have an old flannel shirt that I've used for years that I treat with Insect repellant. It always worked well for me. Several of your suggestions, I'vd not heard previously, but will add them to my arsenal of outdoor lore... Cheers.

Awesome video 👍🏼

In the coastal regions in California grows the California Bay Loral. Crushing the leaves of this tree then rub the oils on your clothes, and skin if your not sensitive, will discourage biting bugs.

Blackie, hell of a name for a whitie. 😂

Good tips Blackie, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
