    Like you said,"Plenty of open space". Add a folding saw. Some first aid. Water filter straw. Emergency blanket,and tent. More fire starting options. You can even add a 9mm and have a get home bag. Using your personal skills with most of these items would get the job done.

    The best thing I learned from the video (nothing to do with the video, just the kit) is that you are better off spending $10 on a case of the waxy fire gizmos and adding them to every self assembled kit you have.

    I would keep one in my car. it might be small enough to fit inside the wheel well of my spare tire. It may not a "good 'survival kit, but imagine breaking down on a back road in the winter, or having a way to help someone get from "where they are", to safety. If you want a top class unit, buy a kit for a 5 to 10 person commercial shop, and BTW, take a first aid course or two.

    Solution: great kit to buy as a training tool. Not something I would want to rely on.
    For the record it is a great packing list as in my opinion it carries the bare minimum by item. Obviously, fill in where it is lacking.

    The one thing to keep in mind is that the people that would buy this (other than testing) are people with limited outdoor skills. Those of us with real bushcrafting skill may look at this kit and laugh, but those without will look at it with awe and be happy with it. To me, it's a decent buy to get kids started with it. Then teach them what to do better in the kit. Like tossing that credit card thing and drop a Leatherman in. Or simply to make sure to have batteries in your pocket, lol.
    No pre-packed kit will be perfect. Don't care who makes it, or how much it costs. There will be items in it that are redundant, unneeded, or just WTF is this in here. The difference is that bigger, more expensive kits, will have more stuff. That's it. If you really want a decent kit, you need to build it up yourself.

    • @AdventureswithSpackmann
      @AdventureswithSpackmann  Місяць тому

      I may have said worth the money if they threw in a space blanket. That atleast could have shielded you from the rain. Or a poncho. Really surprised there isn’t one bandaid at all. I would have settled for a tiny roll of duct tape. I don’t think price can be a factor for it at this point cause there are some much nicer kits on Amazon for $5 more bucks. They just don’t have as many whistles 😢 thanks for watching

    Not everyone can afford the more expensive options so wouldn't you agree that it's better then nothing? Some of it's contents are useful and some aren't. Also obviously anyone who buys a kit that has a flash light should always add batteries into the kit but not inside the light. But again it's $30 bucks what did you expect 🤔 Being a wiseguy over a $30 kit is just ridiculous 🙄 if anything someone who can't afford a $80 plus kit can buy this and add too it and get rid of any useless or really cheap stuff with better stuff they may have. It's a good starting point for someone on a budget too so atleast get them started on making a good kit. And those fire starters the wax rope are great and most the time water proof also so thats a great item in that kit. Just try too be more open minded imo that not everyone can just go buy a expensive kit right away. So again it's a starting point too building off of it over some time and it's definitely better then being lost with no item's I'm sure we can all agree on that.

    Why don't you put that survival kit to practical application. Those Rambo knives that were popular in the mid 80s were everywhere. They had a small kit in the handle and my and the neighbor kid used the kit that was I them as well as made a shelter with it. Granted the wire saw wasn't the best but for small twigs and limbs would work. Just take it out for 48 hours and try it out. 24 hours in have some of your buddies come looking for you. Not in a walk right to where you are situation but a real search and rescue situation. That gives you a chance to test the whistles as well. Anyone can go through a kit and say this is bad and that's not good enough but in a real life situation bad and not good enough is all you have and you need to make the best with what you have.

    • @AdventureswithSpackmann
      @AdventureswithSpackmann  Місяць тому +1

      Very valid points here. But I reviewed this kit for the people that would actual buy it and throw it somewhere in case of an emergency. Most likely not having any skill and thinking this kit had everything they need. Which I believe it doesn’t. It’s lacking a quick shelter. Whether that’s an emergency blanket to cover up with or a poncho to get out of the rain. Something like that. I have taken a survival kit out for 24 hours. I got one on Amazon for $25. I caught fish, cooked it, put a shelter, made fire and “survived” the night. I could totally do that with this one but it would be a rough night and would be just as well off with what’s in my pockets. Thanks for watching

      @@AdventureswithSpackmann I understand. There were items left out that it should have had as you mentioned. I've seen some that's had those food bars and survival water pouches but also lacked essential items. Best bet and best advice that could be given is to sit down and think of what your kit would be used for and from that make a list of what you'd need. I did that in my 20s with a camping back pack I had put together with military surplus. Despite our military having input from soldiers and all the engineers the government has there's still items they leave out of a survival kit. A small book to read can mean the difference between losing your mind and sanity. That in itself is a very thin line in a survival situation.

      @@AdventureswithSpackmann 51 years old and have health issues. As for my pack I had a 1940s style canvas pup tent, air mattress, wet weather sleeping bag. I had at least 2 ponchos for rain gear and another form of shelter. Had an inflatable pillow as well. Cooking wise I packed a stereo stove and 2 cans of fuel. That can be used to start a fire if need be now you can use hand sanitizer for that. Also had candles, a cheap flash light a few book of matches and cigarette lighter. Also carried a poncho liner to use as a blanket and used with a poncho you can create a sleeping bag. Food wise was usually an mre. Cooking utensils was a camping pot with lid. Usually carried 2 canteens with cups and one with the cooking stand. Also had a larger canteen that I think was 2 quart. Also had a entrenched tool and later a military style machete. I always carried a pocket knife so another knife usually wasn't needed. I usually stayed out just one night then broke camp in the morning. If I camped 2 nights I would set up again. When I went hunting I carried a poncho, stereo kit, 1 canteen, pot , more and hunting knife and pocket knife. While hunting I used the military style butt pack with "Y" harness and belt. When camping I carried the medium A.L.I.C.E pack. While hunting I have set up the poncho as a shelter when it rained and I stopped to eat lunch. Always had fun either camping or hunting. M8ght be from just being outdoors. That was well before cell phones too😁
