Horace Kephart, the legendary woodsman and author of Camping and Woodcraft, wrote in a 1919 Forest and Stream article about the simple yet effective belt rig he carried into the wild. In this video, I recreate his loadout — showing the gear, layout, and survival wisdom that made Kephart one of the greatest outdoor writers of all time.
Discover how his 1919 belt kit wasn’t just about carrying tools — it was a philosophy of traveling light, staying prepared, and relying on skill over bulk. These timeless lessons are just as practical today for anyone who camps, hikes, or lives a self-reliant lifestyle.
