What do you carry in your Mother Canteen Carrier

Calling out @Bushman5 and any other CenterLine System gear junkies! Let’s see those mother kits!

Here is my current setup;



The mother loaded with my wilderness innovations poncho/shelter setup. It gets strapped underneath.



My RAT Tourniquet inside the strap wrap, quick deploy, convenient and doesn’t take up space in the mother.



The gear loadout



Fatwood, Exotac matchcase, Exotac Ripspool, part of my yoyito fishing kit, trowel and TP, survival bandanna and my worksharo field sharpener.



SS nalgene, lightstick, cordage card from @TuffPossumGear, fire kit, toaks adapter for ti tongs, compass, flashlight, the yoyito reel, pack light towel, Exotac candle, small signal mirror, screw driver, more fatwood and some P-38s.



@TuffPossumGear survival scarf, first aid kit, bag hanger with titanium toggle, gloves and clove oil



Spare flashlight batteries, flashlight diffuser (instead of a lantern), titanium whistle, blanket pins, toaks silverware/ti tongs, nail style tent stakes for emergency stove.



So there is my junk on the bunk! What you got?

 

Interesting thread title.

 

Lol I thought it would grab attention

 

The orange stuff for trail marking?

 

I have some, most of my time is in state parks sadly. Or scout camps with my troop. I hunt on my 16 acres, so unless I’m wildcamping in the Shawnee forest I don’t take it. That is a smart thing to use when off trail.

 

I have the Mother and a Scout bottle carrier. The mother seldom gets used but the scout is constantly in use. I carry it horizontally. Normally I keep a lighter, small flashlight, small first aid kit, sagewood gear cord spool, duct tape in a gift card and a cheap folder in it. For water I carry either my 26 or my 36 ounce yeti bottle.



@BlueDogScout that pic was taken at the Duluth Shipping canal.

 

Very nice

 

What's in your mother? More like WHO'S in your mother! HAHAHAHA....I'll see my way out

 

I guess lol I was thinking about the what’s in your wallet capital one commercials. I thought it would catch attention but now I see the folly of my ways

 

Changed to keep people out of the gutter. Sorry my mind doesn’t go dirty... well, it doesn’t go there first lol

 

Well nonetheless sorry...

 

I bought a custom multicam Mother canteen carrier from Mark at Centerline Systems a while back now......my intent was to build a kit for dayhikes in local hiking areas where I simply do not need to carry a ton of gear. However, I find myself hating the local hiking trails more and more....way too many city people , too many crazy people who freak out over a knife on a belt and call police on me. So I don't hike the local trails anymore. I've eschewed hiking trails all together and gone feral. Bushwacking, old FSR's, trails well outside Metro Vancouver.


However the Mother Canteen Carrier still serves a purpose....its loaded with a few basics so I can grab it if i walk away from 4x4 camp. I don;t keep it in the truck (it will get stolen instantly) but when I'm going out for a drive or camping, it comes with me. Which was Mark's idea all along....a very small compact kit that contains the essentials if a person leaves camp or goes for a walk etc.

pcis soon...phone updating

 

You are correct. Can’t wait to see the photos

 

Just curious how much that baby ways.

 

Right now without water I’m at 5 pounds. I just removed some from this kit this morning. Which got me to the 5. I have a heavy cover canteen set coming so that will help also.

What was removed;
