Yea and it has been holding up fine it’s not my edc but I use it all the time around the house it’s definitely a tough tool!

I like their little multi spice kits you can pick up at Walmart. Their bug nets are pretty good. They have cast iron cook ware that’s real good. I use their brand of mountain pie makers at my house they are tough. They have their own version of a folding bow saw that is good. They have a pretty good coffee maker that you put on the fire but it’s big. Their rain ponchos and space blankets are the same as everyone else’s. They have a pile of stuff some good some decent some poor quality but I can’t say I don’t like everything but the fuel tabs.

@@whitetailsurvival2430 Fair enough. I tend to keep it simple when I camp. (Army infany) I've never used a bug net or cast iron cookware. I've seen their ponchos and they're a bit flimsy for my liking. I prefer to go with a good militry surplus poncho. I do own a couple of the spice kits and I do endorse them. I do realize that people have different styles of camping and people have different needs and requirements, so I am by no means claiming that my opinion is any more (or less) valid than yours or anyone else's. I'm sure you're a very experienced outdoorsman. Thank you for your input! I appreciate it! 😄

Thanks I appreciate that! There’s more coming up and a lot more to go back and check out if you haven’t!

I would not be a very happy person I guess you could cut it with the pin just to make the blades usable. That’s all I could think of. With freezing cold hands it wouldn’t even be possible.

Yea that’s a great idea maybe I will get another one and do it again. I have over 60 kits reviewed so far. I was going to test them outdoor each component then do a few overnights with a couple of them then I was trying to think of a cool way to display them.

Haha I was actually waiting for that comment on the last video of the Soar 160th survival module because it was in the same kind of foil Mylar like the MRE’s are

Yea I did not know that at all! I thought strike anywhere matches were no longer made because of some government safety crap.

@@mattharmon3838 I ordered this one on eBay they are hard to find. They normally are around 150 for this module and if you get both modules which would be this and the medical module they are anywhere from 200-300 dollars. You have to search and wait and search again and wait till one comes on. This is true military surplus so it depends who gets one to resell it

Thanks! Believe it or not I built that myself using all the pallets from my work and old door and window trim people were throwing away after jobs. The glass on each side are actually Andersen windows. The chairs and signs I bought. Along with all the trim work up on the roof is all scarf jointed pallet boards. I never showed the other side yet I used corrugated metal and more pallet wood to do a few other sections. Everyone loves it when they come over. It has 8 seats but more people fit 😄 I’m going to eventually epoxy different shell casings all over the top I need to build a lot up though.

That’s actually awesome Japan made stuff is good quality it didn’t feel like the knife was going to break or anything but I was shocked to see China. That would be awesome to work for rock island they do some creative stuff for a good price!

I think Feb 30 was supposed to be the end of times but Donald trump one the election that year and it saved the planet from extinction and the addition to the final day of February.

No both of them are eliminated but the zombie kit I opened that was just like this one still had them in there I made that video a few months ago

I have not opened any kit that had a mag bar in it at all yet lots of ferro rods but that’s it

Definitely cool to see what’s inside I like to see what they put in them! This is still commercially available isn’t there something in your system that makes you wanna buy one on eBay for 20 bucks just for nostalgia?

I thought strike anywhere matches made their way out of production because they had some accidental fires but I guess not I will have to try another one out on the brick down there! Thanks for the advice I haven’t seen a strike anywhere match for like 5 years

@ they’re not sold in supermarkets because there have been accidents but they are still available for specialised applications like this.

Awesome! That’s great information to have I appreciate it I will use that for the next military kit I find

Thanks Tom I’m glad it’s satisfactory

You always have an awesome additions list thanks for coming back and commenting again! I do appreciate it a lot! It’s a great idea to add this to a larger kit with a few more substantial items. Fire and shelter are very important this time of year with the snow and sub freezing temperatures it’s a priority for sure!

Hello again! Good to see another comment! You are right though, we spend a lot of time going places in our vehicles so that’s a great place to store some edc/survival gear. The little pry bar is very useful and takes up very little space it weighs basically nothing.

Thanks Cynthia! I appreciate your kind words! I will definitely look into the jerven bag. Especially the hunter version you speak of. I really like doing this UA-cam channel it’s a lot of fun for me so I’m going to continue to do it I’m happy it’s going the way it is for how new the channel really is. I think a lot of this gear is still going to be around when I get to be an old man myself and my children will have a lot of stuff to sort and disperse. Thanks for letting me know about that bag and the short story about that key holder! Thanks for coming back again i appreciate it!

I’m not sure how long it’s been since you built a survival kit but you can buy this kit on eBay sometimes for 18-21 dollars I don’t believe you can build a kit for less than that with all new items. If you can please humor me with a reply of the items and prices and I will build the kit and show it for you and tag you in the video!

Not going to argue any point here, but I used to make and sell kits at gun shows all over the south. Wife and I. You can make and sell a kit similar to that cheaper on the supplies and equipment....the diff comes in your wages per hour you add in. These kits work out so well to the public because we don't have to make our own. Experts like all of us here on these forums can make them better and cheaper....the "civilian" market just buys them and stashes them and never uses them.

Well....was going to make one up. Lost two hours of typing when I closed my tablet on a restroom run. A decent can with lid....American Science and Surplus. They have a.tin can that's a bit over twice the vol of that Coghlans can. $1.25. Strip it or paint it. The Coghlans golf pencil is approx 20 cents....A wooden golf pencil is 8 cents. The fire tinder cubes are cubes cut off the Coghlans tinder sticks. The sticks run $3 for twelve. A common aluminum screech whistle is 30 cents. A 300 box of strike.anywheres is $3. Needles, 13 cents, nails 5 cents. The cost just about doubles if you add in your labor, though.

That’s a great idea. Normally there is a piece of paper or something to write on but it wasn’t this time. It’s not that you can’t use it to write on other stuff or mark lengths to cut branches even or anything else creative I just thought it was odd to not have paper

Haha yeah that’s the easiest way that I have found to strike them kind of matches. You are right about that though it’s a great last ditch backup kit or supplement to a larger or edc pack. I would be awesome to see a plastic lid for these tins like how a catffood tin has. Thanks for watching I do appreciate the views and comments the entire way from Germany!

Absolutely! It’s a great supplemental kit. It would be awesome to see a lid made for these tins. They make them for the cat food tins. It would be nice to have a way to reseal it up

Thanks I appreciate that! There’s more content to come! Thanks for coming back!

😄

Thanks 😊

Yes I believe it was waxed but you’re right for sure it’s nice to be able to leave a note when needed!

I guess just a redundancy I would prefer a set of matches and a ferro rod if possible eliminate one set of matches and add the ferro rod. It would be fine in a pinch but that’s how I would like to see it!

It’s nice you can still pick these up on Amazon in new condition. I also reviewed a zombie kit like this and another generic one that was just called “survival kit in a sardine can” they are cool I just wish they had a lid for them even a plastic lid like on a cat food can would work

Yes that’s why it’s nice to have someone open one to watch. It doesn’t help with your specific kit but it does give you a general idea of what’s in there. I would say it would float being sealed and the extra airspace in the tin. It’s not real heavy.

Absolutely! Creativity is one of the key factors or survival. If you can be inventive you can make more than one use out of almost anything. I did mention in the video about making the lid into a cutting tool or mini frying pan right in the beginning when I opened it hopefully I didn’t edit that out.

​@whitetailsurvival2430 it was very informative. Some people see that tin as a death trap. Its what you know that makes it useful

I will try it on one of the bricks in the basement it didn’t say that on the contents list it just said waterproof matches that would definitely change my mind if they were strike anywhere

@@whitetailsurvival2430 or a rock or wood .. something a little rough

I doubt that, strike anywhere have green tips.

@squirrelpower1666 the ones in this video are identical to the ones I've seen since I was little

Yeah. Green tips have been around for what, fifteen to twenty years? ALL strike anywheres before that were red with a white tip. Brent, the wax on the wood matches destroyed the striker on the book matches. Those were just fine, just the striker was waxed over. And just to be honest, ALL waxed matches are destroyed in my opinion. You had more success than I ever had!

It didn’t say that in the contents list anywhere it just said strike anywhere match maybe I will try one on one of the bricks down in the basement

That’s awesome to hear! I like this kit it is very nostalgic and it’s also still made today which is awesome. One of the kits I remember most when I was younger was the SOL origin kit I thought it was awesome when all the components were locked into the shell. I had some before that but it was the most interesting to me. I bought one and reviewed it on the channel already

@whitetailsurvival2430 yeah the Origin was my first higher price kit I loved the idea of it I just wished the storage compartment was a little deeper but then it would have been more bulky which I don't personally mind

Yes I have a 110 and a 119 I love them two blades they are definitely a knife everyone should have. The kit though is still produced today you can buy it on Amazon which is awesome to see

No there’s two more by other brands that look exactly the same one was the zombie survival kit in a tin and the other was literally just called survival kit in a can so this one is totally new

I thought it said online it was retired in the early 2000’s like 2003 or 2013 or something like that?

@ nah, still in common use, at least with our parachutes here

Haha yea they forgot the salty fish in the can that’s the only thing that was missing . it was a fun kit to open up

Yea they were not good at all? I would not recommend them matches I would definitely want a separate striker also

@@whitetailsurvival2430 yeah, i think UCO Stormproof Matches is a solid option.

Soon I’m going to go back through and test each part individually it should be fun

No problem thank you again i appreciate it!

Yea there’s some usable gear in there the only thing that was upsetting was the matches they didn’t work so well I think a separate striker would have made a huge difference. The cube worked really well and burnt for a long time I was happy with most of it

Check my Instagram I made one and opened it to use the chat feature that’s where I have been talking to people do you have one?

Thanks a few people did mention that they were IR patches now and I do appreciate you reiterating that because no one has mentioned where they go yet. Some people said they liked them and it was nice to keep them from friendly fire then other people said they get you killed so I’m not positive about what to think about that yet 😅 thanks for the info though I appreciate it!

@whitetailsurvival2430 definitely keep them. I was in the 82nd airborne division. They use them in conjunction with AC-130 gunships mainly. That's what the one on top of your helmet does. It identifies friendlies to the aircraft. It can also identify lost personnel it's a helicopters which are using nods as well.

@whitetailsurvival2430 it can identify you to the enemy. That's assuming they have night vision themselves. But being that this is a survival kit. They are essential. They reflect as much as a strobe light flashes.

It is much harder for them to see the one on top of your helmet than it is on your shoulder. That's what that little velcro patch is on the arm of new uniforms. That's so you can cover it

O ok I seen that little flap before on there that makes sense to cover it if your in an unfriendly environment and in a situation the enemy has IR tech also. That’s cool stuff to know. It’s super intriguing the way that a Velcro patch can be a piece of IR gear! That is really interesting

Thats cool information to hear I Didn’t know that. I heard of nomex before I just never put the two together. Thanks!

@@whitetailsurvival2430 I have an old pair of aviator gloves made of Nomex and kidskin. That's leather from young goats. It was used in gloves for a LONG time, and inspired the phrase handle with kid gloves. I think they're all made of cowhide instead of kidskin now. The leather is so thin it doesn't interfere with your sense of touch. One day I put my gloves on and reached in my pocket that had some change in it. I grabbed a quarter and when I ran my thumb and fingertips over it, I could tell heads from tails without looking. I've never had a pair of gloves before or since I could do that with. Nomex is used by flight crews on aircraft carriers in case something blows up and catches fire. The gloves I have were used by army aviators and other military pilots. SWAT teams were Nomex hoods when they raid drug labs, just in case a meth lab goes boom. The rest of your body may not be covered in Nomex, but it will keep your head from catching on fire. Kevlar is also "flameproof". We wore Kevlar gloves in the shop so we didn't cut our hands on sheet metal we handled all day. When sparks from a welder hit it, the Kevlar didn't catch fire, but it melted. If you ever melted a nylon shoelace that was frayed on the end and touched it while it was still melted, that's the same feeling you'd get on your hands just in a small spot.

If people were really curious of how much it costed and they watched the whole video I mentioned that I bought it on eBay so common sense would tell you to type the video name on eBay and it will most likely come up to purchase. All the ones I found were different prices as for example I bought the cheapest one I could find which was 134 dollars. I seen others on there for 189 and up this isn’t a regular store item you can just buy so the prices very from seller to seller so spouting out one number that I paid is useless for this kit. Now something that’s in production I will mention or leave a link in the description so people can buy it! Thanks for the advice though i appreciate it!
