Not even one of those cheap mylar blankets, but 4 whistles?! Good God. Need to change their brand name to Oregon Trail cause it's a death sentence to rely on this. 😆
This kit I assembled is compact enough to carry all the time : Belt Pack or Fanny Pack Survival Kit : Zip-Loc bag as waterproof liner Bic lighter wrapped with Gorilla tape, rubber band,twist tie, wire, relectve orange paracord and tab blocked to prevent leakage. Match book from MRE ( water resistant) Fresnel lens Button compass Whistle (loud flat one from Tops Knives) Toothpick Diaper pin Sabre saw blade Hacksaw blade piece Razor blade ( single edge) Needle P-38 can opener * *( sharp items taped onto a card with clear packaging tape ) Photon Micro Lite flashlight Zip tie Pencil stub and paper Trail marking clip tab Clif bar snack Condom as emergency canteen (unlubricated) Coffee filter Large Bandaid and small Bandaid Alcohol prep pad Benedryl pills (3) Imodium A-D (2) Q-Tip Aluminum foil ( folded) for bowl making, cooking, signeling Chemical hand warmer Moleskin Rubber square from inner tube with cuts as fire starter Sandpaper Square 400 Grit for knife sharpening Dental floss roll ( unwaxed and removed from housing) Mylar space blanket with ranger band around it Rain emergency poncho NOTE : Many items are useful as tinder and otherwise multi-purpose. Weight under 1.5 pounds. This kit will be attached to you even if you aren't carrying a backpack or lose your pack. It is portable enough to obviate the need for an Altoids tin kit or other inadequate gimmicky survival kit.
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.
I personally had a kit very much like that with me on my job except I had a tarp instead of a tent. You can just roll yourself up in the tarp and go gray man as you’d likely be mistaken as just another homeless guy. A tent takes time to set up and space, plus if it’s new it’ll attract attention. Get a brown or gray tarp and lay down in the weeds etc and you’ll be easy to miss.
I feel like most survival kits are designed by people who have never gone outside. "Let's just throw a bunch of pocket knives and compasses in, they'll love that shit"
Take that kit and toss in 2-5 survival blankets, crank flashlight, 2 extra pair of socks (a pair of Seal Skin water proof socks optional) Bic Lighter still in wrapper, mole skin, some basic first aid things, few cans of sardines, road flare, actual para cord 50ft, light sticks (but remember they expire), solar powered cell phone charger (optional), 2 life straws.
Make your own kit. Include a head lamp, a lawn trash bag, small bar of soap, insecticide wipes and a butane lighter. Store the items in a sturdy plastic bag or little plastic container you could use to hold water for washing. You want to be able to wash your feet, face and hands if you are stuck in the wilderness.
I found some (quite nice) dissolving soap. Comes in either small sheets or cute lil flower shapes😊 Both make nice suds and are extremely lightweight. Kinda fun.
@@ValleriaValentine I live in a desert. There are no convenient ponds or rivers here. But we do have bottled water that we can haul in the back of our trucks when we are travelling on miles of backroads.
60year old mountain man , love the down to earth, straight to the point, matter of fact,no BS presentation, not interested in the sk kit, the best are homemade and what one already has and likes, and since I am not a fan of the "so called experts" I am still not to old to learn a new idea I like to see people who are just down to earth
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.
Definitely. A little bit of effort and you can make something far superior. Here is where the problem is. Lazy people think they can just buy themselves something to stash away. But should they ever need it, it will be too late for buyers remorse.😂
@@TokenTaker88 for sure and that’s why I say it’s funny. Cause someone will buy it and not look at it and if it’s needed, it’s too late. Thanks for watching
Nice vid! I haven't gone camping but I see survival kits like this often at Walmart and other places. It's good to know what supplies are actually essential especially for people who don't have experience backpacking.
Yeah the folding shovels are neat for sure! I have one that takes different attachments like a pick, an axe, a saw, and the shovel. Thanks for watching
I would recommend adding: 5‘ x 7‘ tarp / pancho Aluminum canteen / pot folding saw some type of water filtration a few large first aid bandages a couple of fishing hooks and line None of that stuff is expensive.
The last little one day camping trip I took with my wife and daughter was absolutely saved by the 3 bug nets we bought on a whim at Big 5 the day before.
Been watching YT almost daily for about 8 years. This is one of my favorite types of video, where people like you buy something and test it out and tell viewers basically whether it's worth it or not. Not just informative but entertaining as well. I particularly appreciate that you did this in a real setting and not in your kitchen.
1:49 Non American rulers! You mean the metric system!! The only countries not to use the metric system are Liberia, Myanmar and the US. That's quite a club to belong to.
Thank God our AMERICAN ONLY COMPANY is giving us measurements that is going to be used in America.... I don't think your statement is stupid especially given that Liberia no longer uses imperial...
I recognize half of the stuff in this kit from a SURVIVE HERO kit from Amazon that I received as a gift, particularly the assisted open knife and the flashlight.. I think it's just cheap mass produced aliexpress stuff lol
The variety of textures in the kislux bags is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there is something for everyone. I was also attracted by it. The price is not expensive, which is very attractive!
For me, making my own survival kit, based on my individual needs makes the most sense. Commercial “survival kits”:always contain items you will never use but take up space in the kit.
5:00 - 5:02 ; that crazy fast bird that passed a few feet behind you had me tripping for a second. cool little kit - I mean its Walmart so perpetually in the "not bad" range for gear. well, if you buy 3 kits you'll get six pocket knives, 3 sporks with knife, 3 collapsible shovels, and 3 bug head nets; cool!
The bug net could be used as a net for catching small bait fish if you build out the kit with actual stuff you need. Or a live well bag or used as a fish trap
kislux bags are beautiful and I have never been disappointed with a handbag. The leather is soft and the hardware is durable. The design never goes out of style.
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.
Agree it’s nice for a kid. My kids will have fun “playing” with it. But I think it’s still funny cause you know the people who buy it are gunna throw it somewhere and if they ever need it, it won’t help as much as they need. Thanks for watching
bug net, awesome, cool, convenient..& fishing net, trapping net if used correctly..cornering fish. also, could use for filtering water..or..uhmmm🤔 ..coffee 😉 im sure, someone in the comments below mentioned this too!
I bought a LV bag kislux years ago. I took it to the LV store in my town last week to have it repaired. The store clerk inspected my bag and immediately told me that the bag was of good quality. She pulled a current bag out of inventory and compared the tags and I found zero differences
To be honest, I can't afford a thousand dollar bag no matter how beautiful it is. I can say with certainty that every kislux bag I've owned has been solid. Beautiful leather, top-notch hardware, amazing craftsmanship, and a clean silhouette and size that I love. I've been well worth every dollar I've spent, and they've held up perfectly for years.
When I choose a bag I always look for practicality, it needs to match the majority of my wardrobe and be able to hold my essentials, and the kislux delivers just that.
@AdventureswithSpackmann I'm glad you glad that one, you set the bar pretty high w/ the batteries in the pocket bit..smart& funny is a great combo!! 🤙
I showed the mosquitos at the woods that turns into a swamp for a good part of the season that mosquito net, they laughed and bit me on the nose while drinking the bugspray from the can. Jokes aside not a bad survival kit. Though I'll never understand the obsession with bottle openers, I usually need a can opener.
I could have saved you time and money. This kit is an unwise use of money. If your life might hinge on the quality of your kit, you're better off using the money to build a kit, piece by piece. Purchase quality products that will work when you're life depends on it.
For a long time, as Chanel prices have risen, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have a kislux as a travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one would have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Happy Tuesday bro. Lol I was kinda surprised I didn’t get burned when I was whacking the fire starter off the table lol. I’m thinking for a referee, there should be atleast one bandaid lol. Thanks for watching
Yeah just build your own like Les Stroud reccomends. You may be able to incorporate some of these items into one you custom build but I would definitely buy individual high-quality items and build my own.
Walmart camping trick. Buy everything you need. Use it for a week or two. Return for a full refund because they are not what you want. Next camping season repeat the Walmart camping trick.
lol been there done that. I mean asking for a friend. My first backpacking trip, I mean my friend’s first backpacking trip, I / he bought a mummy bag from Walmart and returned it after the trip. It’s a nice trick if you need to use it. Thanks for watching
I got one because I wanted the Velcro release bag - it’s got the Molle and a Velcro tear away so I can rip it off the back of my car seat tac back thing. It was on discount when I got it only because the SKU packaging was gone. Sticker had it at $19. Got it. Refilled it with not crap. The Velcro is not awesome so there’s that. Thanks man, I like your channel, your sense of humor, your attitude.
lol refilled it with not crap. Nice! Yeah the bag is cool. $19 I would say makes it worth it for sure. Thanks for the kind words. I glad you like it. Thanks for watching
Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in kislux . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermes, no one will question you.
Best thing I can say for that kit is that at least there is plenty of room to add gear to it. I am surprised it doesn't come with some method of purifying water and a container for the clean water.
I haven’t seen any cheap ones that come with a purifier method. I’ve seen one with a flat water bottle. But again no way to clean the water in that one. lol best thing is the amount of extra room for you to fix it. That’s great: Thanks for watching
I drove commercial truck locally for years. I was often in bad parts of town. I had to leave my “Get Home Bag” in the truck when I went inside to give them my paperwork etc. I therefore had cheap gear in the bag like this kit sold at Walmart. My pew pew was a Taurus G2C. If someone broke in my truck while I was inside and stole my bag and weapon (many warehouses I went to had metal detectors and a no weapons policy) it would ruin my day but not my year. There’s advantages to cheap gear sometimes and my situation proved that. It’s good enough to get the job done (protect and help save you) until you can get to your more quality gear.
It's not totally bad for people on a budget and could be what saves a life. The real test would be for a survivalist dropped in a rough area with a satellite phone (in case they need to be located in an emergency during the test). I'd watch that.
Eh... For $30 im not too mad at it. Working fire starter, some tinder, two knives, a few whistles, and the case will cost you that anyway. Not horrible for a base to add things into. Definitely needs a emergency blanket. I would probably toss in some isopure, a backpacking tarp, some food, and swap that shovel for a decent trowel. My guess is this was a way for them to get rid of some old products that weren't selling well.
Oddly I’ve been impressed with the quality of some ozark trail stuff, though, especially for the price. Leave one of those fold out shovels in my trail rig. They dig dirt out surprisingly well 🤷♂️ Their knives are okay. I love their electric hand warmers more than anything they make, though.
There are many products that I love from them. My favorite tent is one of them, my current favorite knife too. But right, some is trash. Thanks for watching
I usually don't expect actual GOOD quality from Ozarks trail. Although I will admit that once in a blue moon you can find something somewhat useful made by them. But its not what I buy when I think I will need anything but occasional light use.
I ran into this a few weeks ago in the store, and after much thought, I decided it had to be intended as a supplement - things you would need but might have forgotten in your regular camping setup. I figured that had to be why there was no survival blanket/tarp (assumes you already have a sleeping bag/tent), a spork, fire-starters, and oodles of bottle/can openers (the ones with sharp edges remind me of a streamlined version of the old P-38) but nothing to cook food _in_, and so on. Oh, and just to see if this video was about the one I had seen, I pulled it up on Walmart's website - they appear to have replaced the mosquito net with a survival blanket now. For myself, I'd have to add a tarp/heavier survival blanket, an esbit style stove or similar, and after some thought, a military style canteen with the slide on cup that could be used as a cook pot.
Seems like a pretty decent piece of kit if for nothing else than to leave in the car, just in case. I guess it would be better at 20-25 bucks and if it lost the whistles and the dumb credit card thing. But the knife, fire starters, shovel, bug net and the pouch seem decent enough.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann leaving those wax covered jute-like fire starters/tinder in your car will create a mess of melted wax. Not a lot of people think about that.
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.
I’m not sure this kit would help if you break down in the winter. A bic lighter in your pocket would be better. If it included a blanket then I’d say yes. Thanks for watching
Going into wildlife preserves in south Glorida I get stung through my clothes by giant mosquitos. They're so big they look like fire flies. I don't know if a mosquito net will work. It might.
I took that same KIT after I put it together as a US Army Airborne Ranger into the back woods of Nova Scotia and stayed there for months. I used that same KIT to render aid to a person I found that was hurt while hiking and then fashioned a small canoe out of a tree that I cut down with the saw/shovel and made my way to Greenland. That KIT is all a real survivalist needs! Everything is what you make it!
Lmao tell me more. I want specifics on everything, time it took to cut down said tree, time it took to fashion a canoe out of said tree, time it took to canoe to Greenland from NS, and every single thing in between lol. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann 37 days in total. If you put in requisition forms to The Discovery Channel and pay for the cost of the copied film. You can watch the whole process.
Good they included all those bottle openers for when you're surrounded with beer during a survival situation

I'm glad you glad that one, you set the bar pretty high w/ the batteries in the pocket bit..smart& funny is a great combo!! 🤙
Seems like a decently cheap way to start a survival kit. Definitely need more after the fact to complete it though.
For sure. Thanks for watching
I showed the mosquitos at the woods that turns into a swamp for a good part of the season that mosquito net, they laughed and bit me on the nose while drinking the bugspray from the can. Jokes aside not a bad survival kit. Though I'll never understand the obsession with bottle openers, I usually need a can opener.
Ohhh you got the evolving skeeters! Thanks for watching
I could have saved you time and money. This kit is an unwise use of money. If your life might hinge on the quality of your kit, you're better off using the money to build a kit, piece by piece. Purchase quality products that will work when you're life depends on it.
Hopefully this video saves others time and money. Thanks for watching
For a long time, as Chanel prices have risen, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I would be happy to have a kislux as a travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one would have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.
Thanks
Happy Monday! Lots of whistles! I guess it’s a traffic cop/referee survival kit!
No burns? Dang it! Cheers.
Happy Tuesday bro. Lol I was kinda surprised I didn’t get burned when I was whacking the fire starter off the table lol.
I’m thinking for a referee, there should be atleast one bandaid lol. Thanks for watching
Yeah just build your own like Les Stroud reccomends. You may be able to incorporate some of these items into one you custom build but I would definitely buy individual high-quality items and build my own.
Totally agree! Thanks for watching
Ozark trail knows their demographic can’t survive a night without popping open light beers and making obnoxious noises in the woods
lol yup. Thanks for watching
I always get a kick when I see camping knives with a corkscrew, because it's highly likely you'll find a bottle of wine out in the wild. : )

Excellent review and critique much like dollar tree items, cheaply made but some better than average quality 😊in a few items
For sure! Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann thank you keep up the good work
Never seen any of your videos until this one but I enjoyed it. You’re funny but informative!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the kind words and for watching.

Good to know. Thanks for watching
@ yea man good video liked that you out how long the waxy rope burned on the screen little things like that make a video feel high quality.

Walmart camping trick. Buy everything you need. Use it for a week or two. Return for a full refund because they are not what you want. Next camping season repeat the Walmart camping trick.
lol been there done that. I mean asking for a friend. My first backpacking trip, I mean my friend’s first backpacking trip, I / he bought a mummy bag from Walmart and returned it after the trip. It’s a nice trick if you need to use it. Thanks for watching
I got one because I wanted the Velcro release bag - it’s got the Molle and a Velcro tear away so I can rip it off the back of my car seat tac back thing. It was on discount when I got it only because the SKU packaging was gone. Sticker had it at $19. Got it. Refilled it with not crap. The Velcro is not awesome so there’s that. Thanks man, I like your channel, your sense of humor, your attitude.
lol refilled it with not crap. Nice! Yeah the bag is cool. $19 I would say makes it worth it for sure. Thanks for the kind words. I glad you like it. Thanks for watching
“China-Mart” should be the name of the store!
lol thanks for watching
You can use almost any hard tool from this kit as bottle opener, and they still included 4 of them
Sure can! Thanks for watching
The second metal whistle is a typo. Thanks for testing the fire starter. You're the first reviewer I've seen test it.
You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching
First impression of this guy and I love his humor already I'm subbing
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel. Thanks for watching
Whoever put that survival kit out should be arrested now 😢
lol put your hands behind your back. Thanks for watching
I'm impressed for the money.
Yesterday, i viewed a $200 survival kit, not $170, better than the $30 kit you displayed.
I mean it’s better than nothing but I’ve reviewed 3 better options in my opinion. Check them out. Thanks for watching
In all fairness that pack, at least the condor version is about $20
Yeah that’s true. Thanks for watching
Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in kislux . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermes, no one will question you.
Thanks
Why do chinese survival kits always have bottle openers? Because they learned about surviving the apocalypse from Fallout.
Cause when the world goes to sh!t we need to drink! Lol. Thanks for watching
They’re probably thinking ahead of the currency go down in the apocalypse.
@NisuKitsune1224 lol good point.
i had one of those pick/shovels once and the screw that holds it up always came undone until one day the weld snapped on the handle lol
Yeah that happens lol. Thanks for watching
Talk about a cheap kit. You can make a bigger and better one with temu. Great video though! Always need reviews like these!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the review! 👍
Appreciate you watching!
“Non American ruler”?! The rest of the world refers to that as metric.
Yeah we are saying the same thing. Thanks for watching
@Pojo-tq4zk Merica! Thanks for watching
Best thing I can say for that kit is that at least there is plenty of room to add gear to it. I am surprised it doesn't come with some method of purifying water and a container for the clean water.
I haven’t seen any cheap ones that come with a purifier method. I’ve seen one with a flat water bottle. But again no way to clean the water in that one.
lol best thing is the amount of extra room for you to fix it. That’s great:
Thanks for watching
That pack is pathetic 😂
There are definitely better ones on the market. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann 4sure always interested in anything outdoor or survival
I get 3 pairs 100% wool soc for $5 from military surplus store. Walmarts sox are 20% wool 1 pair for $10.
Nice find! Army surplus is great. Thanks for watching
Great info thanks for testing it’s easy and a panic to wanna go buy something like this and you don’t know if you don’t know you don’t know👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Exactly! You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
Thanks for the informational video... plus great ideas in the comments section. Cheers
Yw. Cheers. Thanks for watching
I drove commercial truck locally for years. I was often in bad parts of town. I had to leave my “Get Home Bag” in the truck when I went inside to give them my paperwork etc.
I therefore had cheap gear in the bag like this kit sold at Walmart. My pew pew was a Taurus G2C.
If someone broke in my truck while I was inside and stole my bag and weapon (many warehouses I went to had metal detectors and a no weapons policy) it would ruin my day but not my year.
There’s advantages to cheap gear sometimes and my situation proved that. It’s good enough to get the job done (protect and help save you) until you can get to your more quality gear.
I get having cheap gear but I found you can get better options for the same amount. Thanks for watching
It's not totally bad for people on a budget and could be what saves a life. The real test would be for a survivalist dropped in a rough area with a satellite phone (in case they need to be located in an emergency during the test). I'd watch that.
How long do they need to stay out with it? Thanks for watching

Just remember there's a guy out there somewhere with a $500 survival kit and he can't even open his beer. So you got that going for you 😂
Lmao poor guy. Thanks for watching
If you’re ever stranded in your car then it’ll give you something to play with while you wait for rescue.
Now that there is a true statement lol. Thanks for watching
Eh... For $30 im not too mad at it. Working fire starter, some tinder, two knives, a few whistles, and the case will cost you that anyway. Not horrible for a base to add things into. Definitely needs a emergency blanket. I would probably toss in some isopure, a backpacking tarp, some food, and swap that shovel for a decent trowel. My guess is this was a way for them to get rid of some old products that weren't selling well.
You maybe right that it’s not bad for $30 but I feel there are better options than this for the money. Thanks for watching
The things you call can openers are actually bottle openers. The one you called a can opener with a blade is a can opener.
If I misspoke I’m sorry. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I hear it all the time no worries the can opener could open bottles but the bottle opener wont open cans hehe
Oddly I’ve been impressed with the quality of some ozark trail stuff, though, especially for the price.
Leave one of those fold out shovels in my trail rig. They dig dirt out surprisingly well 🤷♂️
Their knives are okay.
I love their electric hand warmers more than anything they make, though.
There are many products that I love from them. My favorite tent is one of them, my current favorite knife too. But right, some is trash. Thanks for watching
I usually don't expect actual GOOD quality from Ozarks trail. Although I will admit that once in a blue moon you can find something somewhat useful made by them. But its not what I buy when I think I will need anything but occasional light use.
I have some wicked good OT gear. Great tables, tents and lights. I have some crap OT gear too lol. Thanks for watching
a bug net, a knife, a lighter, a fleas blanket, a tarp and some freeze dried food. all you need. lol
Solid kit right there. Thanks for watching
I ran into this a few weeks ago in the store, and after much thought, I decided it had to be intended as a supplement - things you would need but might have forgotten in your regular camping setup. I figured that had to be why there was no survival blanket/tarp (assumes you already have a sleeping bag/tent), a spork, fire-starters, and oodles of bottle/can openers (the ones with sharp edges remind me of a streamlined version of the old P-38) but nothing to cook food _in_, and so on.
Oh, and just to see if this video was about the one I had seen, I pulled it up on Walmart's website - they appear to have replaced the mosquito net with a survival blanket now.
For myself, I'd have to add a tarp/heavier survival blanket, an esbit style stove or similar, and after some thought, a military style canteen with the slide on cup that could be used as a cook pot.
I had to check and you’re right, they must have seen my video lol. It’s good they cut out some of the junk and added a blanket. Thanks for watching
Bought the cheep tsa friendly med kid added a lot of stuff to it. Like a cheep tourniquet, scalpels, and quick clot, with more IB Prophen
Great ideas. Thanks for watching
Seems like a pretty decent piece of kit if for nothing else than to leave in the car, just in case. I guess it would be better at 20-25 bucks and if it lost the whistles and the dumb credit card thing. But the knife, fire starters, shovel, bug net and the pouch seem decent enough.
Yeah it’s a good starting point I’d say. Dumb card things indeed lol. Thanks for watching bro
@@AdventureswithSpackmann leaving those wax covered jute-like fire starters/tinder in your car will create a mess of melted wax. Not a lot of people think about that.
@@pierowmania2775 great point! Thanks for watching
it might not be great but when it comes down to it . its better then nothing
That’s true. Thanks for watching
Assisted-open knives are good in a self-defense situation, I've had several.
Heck yeah. Thanks for watching
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.
I’m not sure this kit would help if you break down in the winter. A bic lighter in your pocket would be better. If it included a blanket then I’d say yes. Thanks for watching
Going into wildlife preserves in south Glorida I get stung through my clothes by giant mosquitos. They're so big they look like fire flies. I don't know if a mosquito net will work. It might.
With a full brim hat to keep it away from your skin it might lol. Thanks for watching
Empty space clearly is to probably for a block of Datrex bars. Also "non American measurements" is called Imperial!
Some bars would help it for sure. thanks for watching
I would probably just keep the pouch
Good idea. Thanks for watching
I took that same KIT after I put it together as a US Army Airborne Ranger into the back woods of Nova Scotia and stayed there for months. I used that same KIT to render aid to a person I found that was hurt while hiking and then fashioned a small canoe out of a tree that I cut down with the saw/shovel and made my way to Greenland. That KIT is all a real survivalist needs! Everything is what you make it!
Lmao tell me more. I want specifics on everything, time it took to cut down said tree, time it took to fashion a canoe out of said tree, time it took to canoe to Greenland from NS, and every single thing in between lol. Thanks for watching
