I've done a ton of modern packing and his set up is solid. The only thing I would have done is either not sown the oil cloth on the bedroll or had a spare sheet of oilcloth and line - you want something to use as a shelter/poncho when it is pouring rain - his roll is waterproof from moisture coming up, not falling down, and a heavy pour before a cold night would do him ill. Not to mention, a little cover from the wind and falling rain is nice if you are trying to set a fire in the wet (good to see he had candles in his fire kit - likely for just such situations). The cloth wallets are gold. Back in my youth, I didn't have the cash for, well, anything - so I sewed bags for my messkit, firekit, etc out of old t-shirts. I still use them over 20 years later. Modern canvass (polyester) might be more water/mold resistant, but the cloth is not only silent, it keeps things from sliding around (great when you are looking for something in the dark).

Ever since I was 11, and in the Boy Scouts, I've always been enthralled about going outdpors, hitting the trail and humping a knapsack and canteen, not unlike the manner shown in the video, but nothing at all, I must confess, as to the wiser and more experienced protocol of things to carry, demonstrated by the true outdoorsman in the video! I used to pack so much that, not only was the pack way too heavy but as everything inside rattled and could be heard miles away, my fellow scouts used to call me "Junk Man Jim!" Still, it makes me wish I were a bit younger and once again, hitting the trail!

They are true grass burners that outwork a horse. I used burros for a while. They are excellent too. In certain situations a pair of well trained saddle/pack ready mammoth burros are preferable. If they know you they will protect you with their lives against predators including the 2 legged variety and they too work really hard on just grass.

My only critique is how he walked holding the rifle. As a man who did his share of ruck marching and overseas several days out in sector on foot, he wouldn't be carrying that rifle the whole time like that. He would have made a sling or had it on his back. Even light guns get heavy after long enough, and muskets we're not exactly light or non awkward to carry cause of length. 🤷♂️Just a guy whose done that a lots two cents. Before I get the he has to be ready for action comment. You can't hold a rifle no sling walking 16 hours a day at the low ready. He would most likely have it on his back so he could drop pack fast and pull it off the top being able to hide behind the pack if needed. Again just my take on it.
