In my last video, I broke down the contents of my 72-hour bag packed for Mountain Readiness and explained the thought process behind every item. The goal was simple: fulfill survival priorities without carrying unnecessary weight.
A few people in the comments didn’t believe it was possible.
So in this video, I decided to prove it.
While attending Mountain Readiness, I filmed a complete field pack-out and showed every item going back into the bag exactly as packed in the previous video. Once I returned home, I put the pack on the scale to settle the debate once and for all.
Final weight:
22.7 lbs.
This setup covers critical survival priorities including defense, first aid, shelter, water, fire, food, communications, navigation, signaling, hygiene, and rest—while still remaining practical and mobile.
I also demonstrate the Überleben Flat Pack Stove in the field while making coffee during the event.
This video isn’t about proving people wrong.
It’s about demonstrating that experience, priorities, and efficient packing matter more than simply carrying more gear.
A well-thought-out pack should support your survival priorities without becoming a burden.
