Quite versitile. I like the fact that your gear is stored on your hand. My survival device is a 2 inch x 3 inch survival mirror, with the following items adhered: a 125 db retractable whistle, modified Suunto Clipper compass mounted on a container with water purification tablets, ferro cerium rod on one edge, a 650 lumen flashlight, container with tinder and an edge mounted diamond knife/fish hook sharpener. It has a mini buckle for connecting it to a lanyard. For added versatility I have a Victorinox device and Boker folding knife rubberbanded to the mirror side and about 70 ft of 400 test lb kevlar cord rubberbanded on the main gear side. I had a container for it that failed and am looking for a better replacement. My fishing kit and other gear is separately stored.
You know what time it is! 🔥Combining items to create a micro-kit according to one's individual needs is really fun. I once built a similar setup around the pouch of a Leatherman multitool and everything fitted into a pants pocket (it ended up having the size of an average wallet). Keep'em coming. Honey Smackin' Dig'em.👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Right on brother! I love seeing people that use ingenuity in making stuff like that.. It’s always interesting to see what people come up with! Thanks for keeping the good stuff coming 👊🏻🔥👊🏻
Brilliant!! Really amazing kit and looking forward to seeing it in action! Make that video! ;-) P.S.: the only thing I would add: one imodium or two in your mini tin box... I know I'm obsessed about it... Let me say, I had to go and look for a pharmacy in the past at 3 am... never again! ;-P
Massive respect for the huge amount of thought and effort you've put into this kit 👍 You could add a 256Gb uSD card, Victorinox tweezers & some thin ranger bands to the tin and it wouldn't slip as much and they're also great fire starters. I've got the ultralight version of this. A Leatherman Tread, Casio G-Shock, some thin Velcro straps, a 128Gb uSD card with survival & Sci Fi books my fave music and a couple of 2 x 10mm magnets.
During the covid lockdown i got into watches and ended up buying a victorinox INOX automatic , and a Gshock mudmaster for camping and hunting. Extremely pleased with both.
Cool! Certain watches fascinate me and I love that people are still into them.. Seems like so many people just use their phone or smart watches these days..
That is slicker than snot on a brass doorknob. I was thinking the same thing, no fishing line. I'm not sure you'll ever need a spare wick for your lighter out in the field, so for "ME" I'd drop that and fill that spot with some good BRAIDED fishing line, as that stuff has no real memory like mono line does. Another thing I thought of, was in that same tin, maybe see if you can add a perfume sample vial filled with bug juice. I've bought many different diameters and lengths of those vials' brand new for pennies each. That's more than enough bug juice to get me through an unexpected stay outside, like a flat tire, or stopping to help someone, and not getting eaten alive in while doing so. Then just refill it when I get home. I've also considered filling some with bleach for emergency water treatment, and just swap out the bleach twice a year. A half dram vial is 8mm x 60mm, and holds 36 drops of bleach, which treats around two gallons of water, and that's fair amount in an emergency and in a very small package that's cheap. Keep up the great work.
Thanks brother! Came up with this one many years ago and it’s still going.. Thinking about making another version soon.. I love doing the adventure videos 👊🏻
I keep my car keys separate from the rest of my keys for several reasons including preventing damage to my vehicle and being able to leave my car running while I run back into the house. I have several edc items on my keychain including a swiss army knife, flashlight, p38, lanyard with fishing line and bank line, fishing hooks and swivels, ferro rod and tinder, uncle Bills tweezers, pocket hook and 3 titanium key rings. I also use a parachord bracelet with a multi function buckle as a watch band. My wallet is from Grim Survival and has a bunch of tools built in plus I replaced the included band with 3 ranger bands. There's a tinder card and a fresnel lens inside. I have a knife and a pen that always go in my pockets. My boots are laced with survivor chord and ferrocerium toggles. I also have a multi tool on my belt most of the time. These items go with me all the time except the multi tool on occasion. I can procure food and water, build a shelter, make fire, signal, cut, tie, mark trails, leave notes, find direction and survive.
that's a ''watch-out'' watch!... I don't use watches but I'm impressed by what you came up with, and reading in the comments that you have an upgrade in mind, I'd say that would be an interesting video to ''watch''... lol
Hi J.J.! What a pretty darn awesome watch kit! Even "Q" of MI6 could learn from you how to assort such a marvel. Stay safe and all the best from Austria 🇦🇹🤠👍🏕🔥
Great little kit mate. Now show us how it works in the field. Let see whether you can qualify for the Inspector Gadget certificate of achivement. Since you are a first responder, may we suggest you add a laser pointer to your wrist kit. Our girls are fans of yours. Cheers for the updates from Australia.
Thank you! Tell the girls I said “Hey!” I use it in the field all the time so I will make it happen for them.. Never thought of using a laser on it before.. I hear the Inspector Gadget theme song playing 😂
I like that fits into my philosophy of, if it is not on you attached to you it can be lost, stemming from a canoe trip I took with friends in May in ALgonquin park, ya the water was cold, they flipped and lost everything, they had t swim a big lake with sinking canoe, after that I carry stuff attached to me, I would like to see how you attached the loops and stuff.
I agree on things needing to be attached to you- for the very reasons you mentioned! I made it so many years ago and I should have filmed making the band. Maybe I’ll make another one someday. Thanks for watching!
My brain has dreamed of such a watch, but I never dared to build it...until now. I expected you to pull out a ham sandwich on the band. Great video. Thank you.
I tend to have my emergency items on my keychain. Mine has a whistle with gorilla tape wrapped around it, a peanut lighter, a Victorinox knife and a small flashlight. In my other pocket i will have a folder like a Cold Steel Voyager, or Spyderco Tenacious. I also keep an Olight Baton 2 flashlight and a Space Pen in the same pocket. My wallet holds a Spyderco Spydercard. I have a Suunto compass on my watchband. I also have a dedicated get-home back in my car's trunk at all times. Can't be too careful.
I should have led out with awesome band! I love when people make something that fits their life style. Most people never follow through with their creative designs. BTW If I design and make one that allows you to add or take away parts of it, where do I send it for testing?
@FueltheFires nah. Like you, it would be a one-off. It's not worth doing if you didn't test it, 🤣. I love to tinker. Someone had posted about adding and taking away this or that. Making it modular is the tinker.
The older Luminox watches were good. They have a few issues today. Go with a good mechanical divers or chronograph. Marathon, Steinhart, Squale and Maratac/county comm are good examples and you can get lost in the weeds with it. Battery powered there are tons, but Suunto, Garmin, Marathon and G-shock are good and thry have smart versions. But don't overlook Seiko and Casio.

Mess people up and use one for the wrong hemisphere 😂
All good recommendations.. I prefer the older Luminox watches as well.. Never had a problem with this one.. Never thought to say that to someone about the hemisphere 😂
Nice souvenir, nothing more. Maxpedition mini organizer filled with heavy duty items like Leatherman multitool, Armitek flashlight etc. is a much better solution from my perspective. It fits into cargo pockets of most pants.
@@FueltheFires I understand. I do like the idea behind the watch. I may have to order a wazoo kit and make one for myself. right now everything hangs off of my keys and it's a lot of weight to hang from the ignition.
Thanks for the GREAT IDEA! If you don't mind I'll run out real quick and copyright that design! 🤑🤑🤑 Thanks for making me money! There's a reason why when you come up with a great idea we don't put it up on the internet 1st! *smh
Of all the fans of the grey man concept I have never heard one adequately or logically explained to me as to the "why?" Its always comes off as 007 larp. For example The big bearded white dude with tats has already let the grey man ship sail years ago and there was never a time when that didn't stand out. You wear a cowboy hat to a rodeo and you arent a rider and your standing out in most places. Over 6'3" tall you aint a grey man. Under 5'8" you aint a grey man. Have a conversation just long enough to have an awkward pause not a grey man. Dont have any conversations at all not a grey man. Keep your head on a swivel but dont you dare appear aware or you arent a grey man. Its just dont make much sense to me. Criminals see you as a hard target or a soft target and depending on their flavor of criminality that will attract or repel them, simple as.
The object of “Grayman” is to blend into an environment and to manipulate the baseline if necessary.. Being invisible is impossible, therefore you have to interact in the environment you are in (as if you belong there).. It’s basically tradecraft to ensure operational security..
I think you put too much thought I to trying to debunk the grey man concept. Broken down to it's most basic concept would be like this example: If you display a gun in ab open carry holster (in places where that's allowed of course), then you are less grey man than he who conceal carries. If you wear a tactical backpack in public, you are less grey man than a college student with an average looking medium or small size back pack. If you wear a polo shirt, you are more grey man than so eone with a flannel or a tactical shirt. Grey man just means being tactical while hiding as much of it as possible. Blending in with a guy who has no tools on him.
@@elguicho9 Ah No disrespect intended This isnt directed at you personally just counterpoint . It seems like one of those things that really only works in the mind of man who thinks hes a greyman. The way of the gun mysticism. Statistically criminals seek out soft targets in the overwhelming majority of cases. So by appearing weak one invites danger. Furthermore one is weaker than someone carrying a full size weapon with equal training unless they think theyre going to 2 and 1 Mozambique a gang with a pocket nine. Most grey men arent operators. Greyman for the most part stems from appeasement not tactical awareness. There is a reason soldiers look like solders. Secret service looks like secret service. Body guards look like body guards. So I have my doubts a grey man would do whats necessary when the time comes. I dont expect a man so scared of peoples looks or what people think or so scared of having a conversation about his God given rights and an American tradition to all of a sudden face down the long gun of a criminal with their pocket pistol.
@@mechanicalbow no disrespect to you either. Grey man concept is more about getting home or out of trouble rather than being a hero. Soldiers look like soldiers for multiple reasons. And those reasons are different from grey man. If I were a criminal, you are correct that I might look at grey man and start with him. But grey man is ready to defend himself better than average non-carry guy. Grey Man doesn't look weak. He just doesn't invite a "hit him first mentality".
@@FueltheFires Yes As I said 007 larpers. Look there is legit spies in so deep they have their records erased to keep them a secret and then theres joe blow mini van driving father of two that just dont want to have another argument with his wife about carrying that "thing" around anymore. Which makes him a soft target and statistically invites danger that should be avoided and deterred.
Cool. Thx. Custom made stuff makes me happier.

This has to be parody.
People either love it or hate it..
Why say "utilize" instead of "use." Contrary to what some think, it sounds, and is, less intelligent.
The definition of utilize is “to make use of”……..
Of all the fans of the grey man concept I have never heard one adequately or logically explained to me as to the "why?" Its always comes off as 007 larp. For example The big bearded white dude with tats has already let the grey man ship sail years ago and there was never a time when that didn't stand out.
