Horace Kephart’s 1919 Belt Rig – Classic Woodsman Loadout Revealed!

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. 👉 Subscribe to WayPoint Survival for more classic woodcraft, survival skills, and vintage outdoor wisdom brought back to life. #HoraceKephart #BeltRig #Bushcraft #ClassicCamping #SurvivalSkills #Woodcraft #OutdoorTips #SuccessfulCamping Check out the new website and sign up for the WayPoint Survival and Prepping 101 newsletter here: www.waypointsurvival.com Link for purchase of WayPoint Survival Phase 1 Digital Class: https://waypointsurvival.com/digital-course/ For more information on classes, to check out the required gear list, or buy Merch go to: https://waypointsurvival.com/ To support our work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/WayPointSurvival Here's a link to my Teespring Merchandise: https://teespring.com/shop/WayPoint_Survival?tsmac=recently_viewed&tsmic=recently_viewed&pid=212&cid=5819
