My Old School Military Harness EDC: What to Carry and Why
Introduction
As I was cleaning out an old storage locker, I stumbled upon a treasure trove of military gear and knives from a bygone era. Excited by my find, I decided to put these items to good use by listing them on my Etsy page for sale. Among the various equipment I unearthed, I came across my trusty old school 782 gear from the late ’90s that I use for day hikes or scouting missions.
Essential Gear for Day Hikes
When preparing for a day hike, I understand the importance of carrying the right tools for both comfort and safety. With my military harness, I can easily carry 5 to 7 pounds of gear without feeling weighed down. Here are some of the essential items I always make sure to have with me:
- Primary Cutting Tool: A Mora Garberg knife is my go-to choice for cutting tasks due to its durability and reliability.
- Secondary Tools: I always have either a multi-tool or a pocket knife as a backup for versatility in various situations.
- Note-taking Gear: To jot down important field observations, I carry waterproof notepads from “Right in the Rain” to ensure my notes are protected from the elements.
- Water Storage: Staying hydrated is crucial during outdoor activities, which is why I opt for both plastic and titanium canteens to store water for the journey.
Conclusion
In conclusion, my old school military harness serves as a reliable companion for my day hikes, allowing me to carry essential gear comfortably and efficiently. The curated selection of tools and equipment ensures that I am adequately prepared for any situation that may arise during my outdoor adventures.
