Its funny you dont have much views while you are one of the best realistic survival kits builder.
Very important message at the end. It is your gear, suited for your needs. Many people will need different stuff, but we could learn the basics here. Thank you for your time and input.
Very nice although I think I would add a poncho, one that can open up into a tarp. I actually took a sewing machine bobbin and filled it with 50lb braided fishing line to use as extra cordage. the Bobbons are very small and hold about 60 feet of line. I also have a seeing needle because why not.
I think that the 5c to 10c kits are excellent to have with you no matter the size. Individuals just have to customize them to their own settings and planning situation. A sensible survival mindset is also needed and should be stressed to all.
Yep, like you mentioned: "THIS IS MY KIT" : that's the way it is! Everyone lives in different areas, has different needs etc. cool video!
"It's my kit, not your kit" 👍🏻
So true, but give some good ideas to make our kits. Thanks for sharing with us.
I like the backpack I have and got from the local Army National Guard base and have a utility belt, canteen, and case for it which was issued to me while at one base. I carry a full tang survival knife with long blade, a folding knife in my pack and have a spare canteen which I can carry either in my pack, or in my EDC kit. In each kit I carry a medical kit, servival kit, and have also the water tablets as a last resort to clear water. When going out camping I have a solar blanket to charge my phone with.
One of the most practical kits for the woods. 👍
great piece of kit and some good info on survival enjoyed your video
Nice kits. Like the sling bag kit... many similar items in most of my kits. Especially like the idea of a magnifying glass instead of a fresnel lens. And the lensatic compass is a must for that size kit, map compasses just don't compare for land-nav.
I'm a bit more obsessive with my fire redundancy, and I like to have a small monocular in the larger kits.
FYI, I put my Sawyer kit in the Kleen canteen when stored (you know where its at all the time and makes inventory a snap). When the canteen is filled, I store the Sawyer in the top pouch (easily accessible). Just an idea for you. Thanks
Enjoyed the video but the Red Cross patch on the smaller bag made me think it was an IFAK, but there was no medical in it. Might make someone grab it by mistake.
Awesome kit. Has all you really need if you know survival technics.
I'll be honest- I'm a sucker for survival kit videos. I can't claim any expertise in wilderness survival but I'm an avid camper and hiker with an affinity for bushcraft. It's fascinating for me to see what people choose to carry. A few things seem to crop in nearly every kit video. First, all the gear usually looks brand new- ferro rods unstruck, small gear still in the package. I can see making sure your stuff is fresh but I wonder how many people actually practice with the stuff they carry? I'm not accusing the OP of anything, just observing lots of other videos. So just a few random observations and musings will follow.
First what are people using screwdrivers and mini pliers for? The only screws you will find in the woods are the ones you bring with you and it's very rare that I have needed those in the bush. A pliers is handy at times to be sure, but mostly to work on gear you have with you or to work with wire, which is almost never included in any kits.
Do any of you folks find a magnesium block to be useful? They're dead weight to me. IMO a ferro rod is easier and more reliable than matches and almost as easy as a BIC if you have good tinder. In high winds it actually works better than a lighter.
Duct tape as a ton of uses but in the woods what will you use it for? It can patch hole in something temporarily or fix items but it often takes quite a bit, more than the mini rolls provide. You could use it to lash makeshift tent poles but cordage would be a better option.
I wonder if there's ever been a case where someone has successfully used a button compass for orienteering? Reading a map and using one in conjunction with a compass is a rare skill nowadays; even if you know how to use a compass what good is the button compass? Maybe if you have a very good one it would help but in my experience you can set four of them down on a board and none of them will read within 25 degrees of another.
totally agree ! its like everyone is a experienced expert but all their stuff still has the wrapper on or is unused ! prepared mind 101 is horrible for never using his gear its sad and pathetic in my opinion
Rob Babcock most of them just read a few books or watch a video.
2 lighters 1 being a jet windproof /coat matches in wax
Extensive and well thought out mate. Nicely done. Rob.
Great kits! Your thoughts on fire are dead on and not commonly share ! I practice with flint and steel and bow drill but when it close to dark are an emergency it no time to screw around! I personally came across a group who had tipped their canoes in early and 3 had severe hypothermia, no time to show off my primitive fire skills. It was raining but with a bic, wet-fire and dry tinder from a hollow tree we had a fire in minutes. Minutes later I had assistance from a RN that was canoeing also. She said quick actions may have saved their lives. As an old Boy Scout...Be Prepared! Great video!
Thanks for your help. I have most of the gear assembled and other items on order from Amazon. Well done.
Haven't read all the comments, but I would suggest a zip lock 1 gallon plastic bag in the the kits, especially your wife's. Good for storage or to carry water.
a folding saw and a small tarp/military pancho.
and a fero rod is a must, imo.
Jason St Pierre yeah. Bahco saws are really handy little tools. I'd definitely choose a small saw over one of those little Hatchet things any day... And honestly, my poncho has saved my butt on many many occasions... Some kind of shelter from the weather is the main thing this kit is lacking. I have a poncho and a tarp in my kit.
Jason St Pierre lol
hand grenade!
The SAK has an excellent saw. Not sure I would add weight of a larger folding saw unless I lived in an area where I needed to burn a lot of wood to stay warm.
@@micahwest5347 my saw fits in my pant pocket
The Swiss Army Knife’s players do 1 thing the average multi tool can’t. With just a rubber band or ranger band will hold the jaws closed so you can use it as a 3rd hand! I’ve used mine to tie yarn ball egg pattern flys on the water. Great way to fix flys & with just a little fly yarn of different colors & a small bobbin of red thread your off & running. Then just trim it up with the scissors in many Swiss Army Knives.
p.s. great video
Cotton balls and alcohol pads make for starting fire. Also carry birtch bark
A friendly FYI.. The manufacturer of the small Waterproof case is Plano... Pronounced Play~No. I Live one town over from the factory. (Plano Illinois) which is also the town they used for Smallville in the last 3 Superman movies. Little trivia for ya.. lol.. Great video!
cool video! I like how you went through the different sizes. I am looking to put together a kit for backpacking and seeing all the sizes and what they contain helps a lot!!!
Yes I agree. Anything bigger than a pocket tin should include food.
Good kit. Nice video thanks. I would just suggest some kind of cover in your large kit. A small lightweight tarp or poncho would pimp that kit out really well.
I agree Walmart carries a small inexpensive tarp that would work good in a kit like this
Thank you for sharing this informative video. You covered all the points. You're prepared for just about any emergency. The best to you and your family. Stay safe out there. 🤗 🖐
Great kit brotha
Look into a storm whistle, much better than the onenin your kit. Also if you want a good fixed blade with out breaking bank, get a schrade.
Also look into 750 Paracord the legit stuff. If you like sol, look into the sport utility blanket, it is a great wind, rain and perosnal shelter. Can put in ground ubder the sol bivvy. A super light weight heavy duty hammock may be good too. Again, great kit.
KosukiFire You know he makes knives, right?
Good video, I agree a100%, its about what works for you. I carry everything you do plus I personally carry 5 day supply of my daily meds (Im 58), pain patches for my knees, and a little more food, LOL making a regular healthy turd is very important, a pack of wet wipes and TP.
I tend to put a little more into the first aid side of my kits. Even just a few bandaids, Tylenol, benadryl, Advil, Imodium - which can fit in the small survival packs, can make a huge difference. Adding some more substantial medical supplies for a larger pack does not have to take up much room either, but can be crucial..
Great kit.
My small kit will have a yoyo fish reel for my fish kit, great add on.
like it excellent concept not to much not to little take care
Well done! Awesome video! Thanks!
Love the kit, i would just have to add a lightweight tarp and roll up a wool blanket and strap it to the bottom of that kit. Might as well be comphy while your at it.
well organized and complete kits. Thanks for sahring
you forgot" 3 seconds without hope", but i guess, adding hope to that kit would be "challenging"
Well that one is kind of a platitude... you can survive several days without hope at least... some people survive it for years... lol
got a kit just like yours, I take it whenever I pop 200 meters down the road to the shop for some milk, you know just in case!!
I like how simple you made it. I use K.I.S.S. in all my kits. You gave me an ideal or 2 so thanks for the vid.
This is the first video Ive seen from an American that wasnt showcasing a Gun, coming from the UK i gotta admit the closest thing i can get to a gun is an air rifle, great for small game, just not so practical in a survival situation when your tired and hungry with barely enough anergy to pump it to the point of getting a squirell. great video dude. really has helped me down size and make a list for more things to get also Ive seen reviews for Silva compasses so I gotta thank you for bringing Suunto into the mix as well. I appreciate the guide broski. Stay safe for you and yours.
u can get a shotgun and a rifle in the uk as well, not just air guns. but air guns are very practical, they are small and light weight and can take down rabbits, plenty of them on the fields.
Great information brother, thank you
Well done! As the title said, it was realistic. Simple without overkill.
Nicely done. Great logic behind the contents. Thanks.
I like the simplicity and we'll thought out nature of it. On the kit for your wife - I would ditch the magnesium fire starter and just opt for a small bic and cheap waterproof matches. If they need a survival manual, it'll be much easier to use those, and add a true firestarter if they ever do more legit Bushcraft. I did a small daypack with some gear for my wife, she keeps in her car.
It also happens to work as an awesome day pack too for her if we do some hiking. 😀
Wife kit neets batteries and second light.
Thanks for sharing.
The number one item people leave out is pain killers. Good job for including advil. Its hard to survive if your riddled with pain. My survival kits have 800 mg ibuprofen in them.
reasonable realistic kit.
This is similar to my EDC bag and experience causes me to recommend adding a pack of mole skin.
you have actually got some dirt time behind you by the sounds of it, better then most with their brand new knives & kit with no dirt on it!
Good job on the various levels of kits. Well done, covers all the basics, good stuff.
Great job
Personally, in my vehicle I have a basic survival kit, It contains a mora companion HD, 50ft of 550 firecord, a roll of gorilla tape, first aid kit, lighter, 2 boxes of UCO storm proof matches (which is 50 of them), ferro rod, fishing kit, 2 food ration bars, sawyer straw, tinder pal tinder maker, leatherman squirt, a 700 lumen Coast flashlight, a small 1 person tent, fiskars 7 inch folding saw, 150 lumen headlamp, whetstone, steel water bottle with a cup for water boiling, a small cast iron pan, 25 water purification tablets compass, whistle, extra batteries, and a glock 10mm with an extra mag. Plus I always carry my Morakniv bushcraft ultimate on me which has a ferro rod and a diamon sharpener so I have some basic survival tools just on my edc. So in all I would have 3 ferro rods, (1 by its self, 1 comes with the tinder pal, and 1 on my knife) And I have it all packed in a small backpack. Its not anything special but its plenty to survive.
You got pretty good kits .i think you should put in stuff your uses to.make it lite if your going to go far weight means pain if your go along way .
Awesome kits. Just the right amount of stuff to survive - not over filled with garbage like a lot of videos. But personally, I don't like those magnesium bars because thay have too much magnesium, and the little ferro rod on the side is way too small. I think just a plain old ferro rod is the best way to go. Just my opinion though
Also, you said that your bag kit could last you 72 hours, maybe more if you push it? That kit could easily, with out finding food or much water, last you 10 days. Longer if you rationed out your food, or found/cought more. Remember, you don't need to eat every day. But if you didn't find any water at all, then yes, 72 hours would be about the most you'd get out of that kit.
There is a trick to determin which way is north during the say if you have an ANALIG WATCH.
never tried your SOL bevies but I like the idea but I would still carry a Mylar blanket if only for medical emergencies.
Great Video! Common sense approach and very well explained. In a larger kit, I carry an extra pr of socks as that works for me. As always, very enjoyable. Be well.
your pack is your kit, true.
consider a wind up flashlight
I love your vids I watch this and your and the vid about your urban EDC bag over and over again, good stuff : )
Nice kit man reflects mine very well good stuff cheers 😎
Good job this is a real kit and i like them maybe i want this kit i try to make a same kit you have like
"Get a damn compass." I love the comment.
Awesome videos, very helpful, thanks. Thank you for serving.
Excellent
Good video, thoughts and information. I really need to find a good source of the individually packed water purification tabs for kits I built for the ladies.
Fan of reuse aka Altoids tin plastic with screw on lid etc.
Maybe put some superglue in your first aid kit.
The rule of 3's isn't best quite a misleading quote I think.
Every situation varies depending on the circumstances, for example if you have food and water you'll survive for a long time in a hot environment without shelter.
Just as 3 weeks without food is a myth, there have been many people who have starved to death on hunger strike that have lived a lot longer than 3 weeks.
About the only one that I feel is more or less true in most cases is that 3 minutes without air will kill you.
Thanks for taking the time and effort and sharing your video, subscribed.
thanks for the video! great ideas i took from this. regards from Argentina!
Thank you for your service! Are you from New York? Your accent reminds me of the old "Bowery Boys" movies.
I thought that as well guy, maybe slightly the boston direction .. He has some really good stuff though, good for note taking .. Hey guy
Good sense information! Thanks for your time and knowledge!
I recomend you to not Carey lifeboat rations in your quick access poutches and you should pit in a preasurebandade but over all great video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😀
Don't forget "3 months without others". We are tribal critters, and need to be in a group.
Beautiful knife btw.
Thanks for the video. I'm a little confused, though. To me, a 'survival' situation is one in which I'm in real danger of not surviving, i.e. dying. If I'm badly hurt or I become sick in a remote place I need a serious first aid kit with wound dressings and pain killers and then a rescue. If I'm not far from other people in my group a whistle might work but otherwise I need a GPS Satellite Distress Beacon. It's fine to practise wild camping with minimal gear as a hobby but if shtf a mini 'survival kit' is next to useless.
If you are not familiar with your surroundings and don't know how to navigate a compass would make a good plumb bob.
On that little torch, tie a long loop for around the neck with that cord u have. It's so easy to lose a torch that small.
Excelent kits, im 100% agree with you, one of the best videos i found.
Excellent ~ very helpful, useful advice and tips. Many thanks.
Bro,instant nescafe columbian coffee must be in my survival kit...hahahaha ( Caribbean builder in NYC
You can also carry things inside the thermos....
Michael Taylor yeah water
Yes..carry WATER!!
Great video man, Thanks for sharing.
Great video, I learned a lot.
hey great love it but just one thing or two that you are missing a puncho and something wend you have to do a number2 coleman sell good paper roll they are great
Hello, Fix the gas start button on the lighter, if it is pressed down by something, then the gas will not come out, I did this at home after I saw that gas came out of the lighters during storage.
Liked the video, thanks for putting it together and sharing some good information. You said in the military everything you needed to survive was in the rucksack and the "survival kit" was similar in size to the altoids tin. What did the military have in the altoids tin? Thanks again for the video and the good info.
Very useful. Thanks.
Have you checked out the survival tin from Henry Rifles? Curious what you think of it and would advise a newbie. Thanks.
Notes:
First Kit: We thought out. Something to research; MOST Chinese Magnesium bars are not 100% mag. They just don't burn well. Test it.
Second kit: Nailed it
Third kit: For a survival kit the Sawyer mini is great. But ask any long distance hiker and they will tell you that the "bladder" bags don't last, even Pladypuss
IMHO Your selections and reasons behind them are very well thought out .
People will ALWAYS play NAVY SEAL when it comes to critiquing someone else's selections without concentrating on their own.
You CLEARLY said from the beginning that you made your selections on what is best for YOU.
There is no way that any Bag, Kit , Firearm, or clothing option is wrong, Only wrong for that person.
I was asked if I thought that an AR15 was the perfect survival rifle, I said yes, Someone then said I thought you told someone an AK was the best , I said Yes the AK is the perfect survival weapon, So is a .22 so is a .308 and so is every single caliber of firearm that exist,
It all depends on where you live and where you are.
As I live in the NC, VA, WV area a .22 rifle and pistol as well as a .44 Is the best selection as the biggest threat other than man to me is the black bear and the Cougar .
A .44 will easily dispatch either and the .22 will feed me for quite some time.
Why should I carry a elephant gun.?
To me your selection in food stores makes PERFECT sense.
In this video you have 6 days worth of food at 1,200 calories per day and you used up minimal space and weight.
I could go on but I'm sure you already know that.
Every thing I saw you pack could have multiple uses and people need to know that God forbid ( And I mean that with all of my heart ) anyone is ever put in a survival senario, Comfort is not what you are packing for, You are packing so you can see the sunset that evening and the sunrise in the morning and repeat the process until you are either rescued or until the " EVENT " that made you get in to that situation has come to an end.
Olá amigo esse Kit de sobrevivência está nota dez.
Abraço
Ya know, sometimes maybe we all get a little too cute. Do you want a kit to have a pliers or wire cutter? Well, why not toss in a pliers, or needlenose visegrip, with a wirecutting function, rather than the fancy, expensive multitool? I really iike my Leatherman, but it's pricey to put one in every bag and glove compartment. We maybe forget that an 8" pliers is a pretty handy thing to have.
thanks for the video, what is the model # on the Suunto Compass and Ruler?
great kit video,.....are you going to make any more?
Instead of endura I would have gone with victorinox farmer which is available in purple, but has more tools including a saw.
My survival kit consist of a cell phone to call a taxi to get me back home.
WOW 100 hours candle
Thanks for the video. I really like the fixed blade. What is the cost for knife and sheath and how long of a wait ?
Good video nice kit
Add second skin for burns
Food was the first thing I packed then fire then container
I didn't see anything in the waterproof Plano case that wasn't already waterproof.
a second map of your AO ,would be nice
How about a long term survival bag?
