High Quality components. Well thought out as an “emergency” ration with a lot of “extras” that put it into the class of “survival kit”. That 1200 calorie brick is the backbone but having a cup of beef broth, some candy, or coffee with sugar… it would be amazing to have in a lifeboat if stranded for days. The metal wire and first aid and fishing kit would be a lifesaver as well. Best Glide has impressed me with the quality of their kits and equipment. Great video. Well done.
Your right for sure. Best glide does do some really cool stuff with their kits. This thing is like a MRE with a few survival aspects. I will probably pick up acouple more and toss them in some kits. Thanks for the comment I appreciate that! There’s more to come!
Yea that would work great with some purification tablets add a 1 liter mark to the outside of the bag and it would be perfect I bet that bag holds close to a half gallon or 2 liters
I recently purchased an Advanced Ration Pack and I am very pleased with this kit! However, I would as a few things to the kit….a signal mirror, a SAK with a saw like a Hiker, a bic lighter, a small head light and I’d add a few more first aid items along with a Hank of paracord, a snap light and a orange bandana. I would add a large Heatsheet survival blanket, and finally a one liter whirl-pak water bag with purification tablets. All the additions fit nicely in the bag! That’s my two cents! Thanks! By the way, excellent video and presentation!!.
Thank you I appreciate that a lot it means a lot to hear that! Thanks for the comment! I agree with what you’re saying to turn it into an actual survival kit and not just a meal supplement with a few extra items everything you said would be great. I have a few Swiss champs I love them tools I keep one in a few of my packs it’s just acouple extra layers but it does have a great assortment of tools. A bic lighter is the ultimate fire starter as long as it’s warmed up in the winter they work great! Paracord is almost irreplaceable! Survival blankets are awesome or even one of them better quality Mylar tube tents. I do like the SOL heatsheets also they make a good blanket. A small light or headlamp is a great idea also! In a pinch the Mylar bag could be used with the water purification powder but it’s easier to just filter the water and then drop a tablet or two in the bag wait 30 minutes then drink.
This is a good kit to have for an unexpected night in the wilderness. Pair with a trauma kit and proper extra clothing and you’re prepared for a night or two. You won’t be comfortable, but you can stay alive. The foil pan and fuel tabs are especially useful to make a quick hot beverage to stave off hypothermia. I’d rather a space blanket than a fishing kit, but adding a space blanket costs and weighs nothing.
Yep the addition of a space blanket would be well worth it for sure! The way you put that is awesome! You’re definitely right it’s a survival kit not a camping kit so comfortability goes out the door and survival is the key! Thanks for the comment I appreciate it!
One thing that I didn’t see in the kit or heard any mention made of so far that I would add is some kind of multi-tool option. Also, that bag looks like it would be ideal as a boiler/broiler piece for any fish or other animal you might catch.
Yea that would work it’s Mylar so it’s good for holding up some heat! That’s a great idea I would like to try to cook a fish in that bag. That’s awesome idea! That’s a great idea also a leatherman multitool would add a huge layer of convenience to the kit.
hi, you try often to strike the ferro rod with the round serrated side. this side is for scraping material and the straight side is for striking. good job in your videos
Thank you I appreciate it! I never really used the strikers before I always had a sharp knife spine with me so the striker thing was new for me to learn 😃 I always kind have just held the striker in my hand or cut it off.
I got one a few yrs ago after seeing kitbashed survival’s review and I was kinda impressed. Used it on a 20 mile hike on the A-T trail, it will keep you going. Bought 4 more to keep in car kits. Couple of things I wouldn’t mine seeing added to it a couple of water bags( whirl paks) I’d swap out the purification powder for tablets, hydration powder (Gatorade or equivalent) a few cone coffee filters, swap out the bouillon cubes for satchels or even cup of soup packets. Don’t see the need for tools or rope. It’s not meant to be a survival kit think of it as a mre with a few more components.
Yea I agree with you there it’s definitely a meal supplement it’s cool what they pack into the bag. I figured in the worst case scenario you could strain water through your shirt into the Mylar bag. Of course after you rinse the shirt a bit to get the sweat off it. Then add the powder to the bag. Great ideas! Thanks got the comment I appreciate hearing the story’s of the kits being used in a real life scenario!
I like the little pan it’s definitely convenient and you could definitely get a few good boils out of it before it falls apart. I should check how much water it holds and I will let everyone know when I do the test!
Yea I seen that happen before they absorb all the water and turn mushy and leak. I took the corner of the bag and twisted it up and sanctioned it off in its own portion of the bag.
Yeah I always do that with anything like that salt and sugar packs too sometimes even coffee because no telling if or when something might puncture it.
@@whitetailsurvival2430 this sugar has a very bad metabolic effect on insulin levels in blood. It will increase the sense of hunger, something you don't want in case of food rationing.
I purchased a new Gen Cache hat and belt with the Cache kits and I can tell you they are awesome!! Don’t hesitate to purchase! The company, people and products are fantastic! Just so everyone knows, I am NOT employed by or a spokesperson for Wazoo! I am simply a very satisfied customer of Wazoo! Thanks!

The bag it came in could hold a litre of water
Yea that would work great with some purification tablets add a 1 liter mark to the outside of the bag and it would be perfect I bet that bag holds close to a half gallon or 2 liters

Great kit for hikers or to have in the vehicle for people who travel through remote areas.
Yea it’s a nice just toss in pack or vehicle kit. Quick food and survival kit. It’s a pretty cool one
One thing that I didn’t see in the kit or heard any mention made of so far that I would add is some kind of multi-tool option. Also, that bag looks like it would be ideal as a boiler/broiler piece for any fish or other animal you might catch.

The big outside ziplock bag looked like a liter.
I will check it before I test it out and mention it in the video!

When you need the enclosed survival knife to open the package to get the knife.
Yea that was a hard one to get opened 😁

Definitely agree on the extras they have in it. Added the fishing kit and matches to my go bag.
This one is definitely worth it's cost.
Yea it’s like 26 dollars right now that’s definitely worth it!
That pan should be in every kit. It can be folded down flat.
I like the little pan it’s definitely convenient and you could definitely get a few good boils out of it before it falls apart. I should check how much water it holds and I will let everyone know when I do the test!
I'd put that boulion cube in its own ziplock bag or it will eventually ruin the rest of the condiments.
Yea I seen that happen before they absorb all the water and turn mushy and leak. I took the corner of the bag and twisted it up and sanctioned it off in its own portion of the bag.
Yeah I always do that with anything like that salt and sugar packs too sometimes even coffee because no telling if or when something might puncture it.
👍🇲🇾
Thanks!
Sorbitol in the peanut candy, 🤮🤮 the worse poison.
I never tried it yet. It doesn’t sound good if you say so
@@whitetailsurvival2430 this sugar has a very bad metabolic effect on insulin levels in blood. It will increase the sense of hunger, something you don't want in case of food rationing.
@@wetrock2766 yes that sounds bad I don’t want to be more hungry after I eat
Best Glide ASE makes some of the best survival kits on the market I like the Gill Net they sell also
I was cruising back over the website the other night I’ve done two of their kits so far I might pick up another one to go over
I got one of those and ended up eating the Jolly ranchers right away.
It’s hard to pass up on a good jolly rancher especially a blue one
Hey can you do the wazoo cache kits for the belts and hats.
Let me check into it and see if I can get one ordered up!
