Yes a lot of the times I think people forget that you should at minimum open your kit and go through it to make sure nothing needs replaced, added, or taken away. That’s time when they can add the pieces they want or take out what they don’t. Thanks for coming back again!
Thanks i appreciate it! That’s definitely what everyone should be doing before you take the kit out. Any kit at all. You never know what’s broke, expired, or junk unless you check it out
For $20 this kit is a bit of a disappointment, but on sale would be a decent starter for a medium-size survival kit. I waffle between mess tins and water bottles for this size kit. And I truly think that water bottle kits are best built from scratch to get exactly what you want---starting with a widemouth bottle for ease of access! Thanks WS, another fine review.
Thank you i believe this could be built around a molle water bottle pouch that gives you more room to expand the kit! This is a quart bottle/ 32 oz so it is actually a wide mouth bottle but the space blanket and poncho packs are so big it’s hard to get them out. The kit contents are expensive I do like to see people price them out to see if they can make a better kit for cheaper. A single walled metal cup is already more than this entire kit 😂
@@whitetailsurvival2430 The pouch is such a great improvement, can add a nesting cup and often there's an outside pocket for more gear. I made a couple bottle kits for cars and it's amazing how much stuff can be crammed in a Nalgene. Getting it out again is another matter entirely!
@@LostLittleElfyes I actually used a water bottle system like we were talking about for probably 10 years or so for my archery set up for my close to home set up I switched to a backpack now because I’m traveling for a hunt in Ohio and this will be a week of morning to night hunts for whitetail so I needed more gear
I made something similar using a generic brand water bottle - used the same brand for years & taped a metal cup to the bottom. It was great & I tried the contents out to see if they worked. I found a few nylon foldable backpacks in a discount shop. I tossed these inside & a cloth cap with a pair of soft cotton work gloves (these are just cotton & not heavy duty). These were all the triplicates I had include a hospital soap & sewing kit into the bottle. You can add a few plastic bags & a lighter or 2 but this is a survival kit not a camping trip kit.
@@whitetailsurvival2430 We had a few exercises in the Reserves - Grab & Go - I always carried a Swiss Army Knife, Bic Lighter (we still use Hexamine Stove to boil the water bag for our rations (I am in Australia) & Bic Pen. A few times were mustered out to go the day with what you had in your pockets. Once or twice went 24hrs on a cadet ration pack (1 meal, matches & a FRED (like your P38 but with a small spoon / bottle opener added. Thankfully the best spoon I have see was added 20 years later to our ration packs after my time).
That’s awesome I love hearing the stories like that! The USA has the US mre spoon in the accessories pack and it’s a good tough spoon I do like the old style spoon can opener in the older Australian rations I loved that design. Definitely more grip than a p38 or p51. I do like the idea of having enough stuff In your on body edc to survive!
The flashlight was a little disappointing. There are ones that take up much less space and put off better light. Still not too bad of a kit. Definitely need to add a lighter and a better cutting tool. Some wster purification tabs are a must. And a stainless steel nesting cup to sit the bottle into would be a good idea. I also can't help but notice the lack of cordage as well.
Absolutely you hammered all the important stuff right there! The flashlight is definitely garbage it was the worst light I have seen yet a 9 dollar Olight i3e blows this light out of the water by a mile. Other than that it’s a good base kit to start. I think it’s a good start for a water bottle pouch kit. The nesting cup would be a definite addition! Awesome ideas all of it!
Yea that would be cool also! If it had a screw on lid with a secondary soda style lid and cap the sawyer would screw right on! That’s creative and awesome thinking.
Yea it’s not bad at all. Honestly that tool is pretty strong for the size I gave it a decent squeeze and I can just start to feel it flexing a little bit but some of the cheap tools I can literally squeeze and break really easy. It’s not bad for an addition to this kit that didn’t cost that much.
@Bushcraftnbaseball @Bushcraftnbaseball I'll probably get one of those thanks is it stronger than a Gerber mini multitool?... I was thinking of an $8 or less that could be bought in bulk for cheap to put in affordable kits to sell . Like if I wanted to sell kits for $25 . They do have cheap mini multitools so it's possible there's a strong one
@@Bushcraftnbaseball thanks I'm gonna get one of those , is it stronger than a Gerber mini multitool? I was thinking of a mini multitool that could be bought in bulk and get them down to $5 or less . There are a lot of mini multi tools for under $5 without buying in bulk so I'm thinking there might be some $8 ones that are strong.
Yea it didn’t cost that much and it makes a good base to build off of. If you got this kit and a molle water bottle pouch it would make a good mini system to base from. Thanks for coming back again I appreciate it!
If you can’t put your hand into the bottle to grab the items, it’s not a wide mouth, in my opinion. Most of these kits are Chinese junk. Too many people are lied to by advertising-which is not honest in most businesses’ advertisements anyway! Heres a real challenge: take a container 🫙 or a “water bottle”, something similar in size to that crap, and go around your home and fill up the bottle with what YOU would actually use in a survival situation, then actually go out there in the wilderness (not your back yard/property or property of someone you know) and stay out there for at least 72 hours with just what you put into that bottle or whatever container kit you put together.
Why would you take this kit for 72 hours? What don’t you understand? That’s not what this is for these are to get you through a possible rough night to get you out in the morning. It’s actually incredible to me that you cannot use this kit to survive a night you may want to work on your skill set if you cannot. You should literally be able to stay a night in the woods with the space blanket and a fire! It’s very uncomfortable but it’s possible. This is a 282 acre farm out here it’s in the mountains and it’s realistic to stay out here and practice survival and bushcraft in my area and environment where I live and where I most likely would be put into a survival situation. The final thing I would like to add is that I don’t build these kits and the channel is designed around opening these kits it would be awfully boring to continuously open my own survival kit over and over again to the viewers of the channel. If you think you can do a better channel please start one and tag me and I will watch your videos and take pointers.
Definitely add water purification tablets or a small filter straw like the aquamira frontier. Maybe swap the tool out for a leatherman or SAK something with a saw. I would add some ibuprofen and Tylenol to the mini med kit and a few Neosporin packets. Possibly a skeleton style fixed blade like an izula. I might even swap the bottle out for a single walled steel one. I would probably eliminate the whistle/match storage container add a small whistle and compass. Maybe a mini bic. Definitely swap the flashlight out for a better led flashlight I would probably get an Olight i3e or i3T just for the size and brightness plus the cost is great. I definitely could use a hank of cordage maybe wraps 20-30 feet around the outside of the bottle or put a hank of 100lb micro cord on the inside of the kit. I would add a fishing kit for entertainment. There probably is more stuff but that would be ok for me for a short term kit
I would definitely recommend adding purification tablets. I would say if I bought a kit like this. I would take everything out and assess it. I would take out what I didn’t feel was necessary and add what I wanted. You should always do that anyway. I don’t really understand why so many people could not survive an overnight stay with a kit like this. This is not a get home bag or bug out bag. These kits are for a possible stay in the woods maybe for a night as a just in case kit without having to lug around a full pack with you. I could make a fire and shelter with this kit and survive a night for sure! I’ve done it before with nothing but my hunting gear in the fall one time. If you can’t survive a night with this kit you may want to practice other critical skills for survival.
@@whitetailsurvival2430 You could survive A NIGHT, even two, three would be pushing it. But that'd be it because you can go only THREE days without water, and that sh*tty kit has nothing for water purification. No metal container for boiling over a fire, no purification tablet, no filter, nothing. Stop trying to justify buying that crap.
@@whitetailsurvival2430 You can make yourself a bowl out of a log and burning coals, and then adding hot rocks in the water to boil it but in a survival situation where time is crucial, no one can afford to spend time messing around with that. You need a metal container, period.
@@mightywookiee6633 it’s not essential to be metal. you can survive a night with a plastic bottle and a water purification tablet. You can survive a night with a fire and a space blanket. It’s not fun but you can do it. I could filter water through the sleeve of my T-shirt and drop a purification tablet in that bottle and be fine for a night or two if I had to.
Imagine being so butthurt about someone calling you out on your advertisement of a sub-par kit that your restrict their commenting capability haha Such a childish thing to do.

Also if you haven’t noticed with your extreme amount of intelligence and attention to detail that the channel isn’t an advertisement I open these kits on camera for people to watch to see what’s inside of the kit to make an informed decision about whether or not they should buy it or some people literally just watch them because it’s interesting what people stuff into these kits! No one is saying that these are an end all be all solution to a stay in the wilderness but they would definitely help out in a bad situation! My experience is I know I can stay overnight in the woods anywhere in my environment with one of these kits idk if you have ever done it before but I have and I’ve also been lost and stayed the night before out of place with no kit at all in the fall and I survived so your “free knowledge” holds no weight when you have nothing to back it up!

That cheap bag-I would use to store the stuff that didn’t fit in pockets or if I didn’t want to carry in pockets. People, please save your $ money 💰 💵 make a good kit with what you’ve already got on hand. Stop wasting your hard earned overtaxed money on cheap junk that funds the countries that want to financially and otherwise destroy your country!
That’s a great way to think but I imagine a company purchased these kits for pennys on the dollar then they mark them up 1000% and resale them here for a large profit. Most of the stuff in your house from your cloths tools and bedding come from the same place. I don’t feel like this kit is bad and it would be impossible to make one to the equivalent with the same amount of money. Just a single walled metal cup costs more than that. I don’t disagree more stuff should be made here for a better price but politically and structurally our country and economy cannot do that so for now a kit like this can be used to start as a base kit for someone new.

Everyone forgets that this isn’t a bug out bag or get home bag these little things are for a rough night
Wow. Alot of garbage. Dude spent way too much time on the cheap pliers. You can do this with quality items for a bit out of pocket. Don't even get me started on the first aid kit full of useless bandaids.
I love it! This comment comes all the time and I will offer you the same challenge.. start from new you have no items at all. from scratch build a kit better than this for less than 25 dollars. Post it on my instagram page or make a video and tag my channel with it. No one has been able to do it yet!

You right purification tablets should be added at the end it is a bottle kit.
