Awesome sharing😍👍🏻extraordinary, the work is very cool, the place is very beautiful, the nature is beautiful, cool, I hope you have a happy, successful and healthy day always for you, Amen, thank you, my dear friend, for sharing an interesting video, happy work💝
In the realm of "somethings better than nothing" this is honestly the best ive seen, all I'd personally change is adding another of those bars, a collapsible water bottle and an actual small form factor flashlight as opposed to the button light, but hell I'd buy this its old school and nicely thought out!
Hi, a 2nd food bar would definitely NOT fit, unless one of the larger square items was removed, which would remove a significant part of the backbone of the kit. There MAY BE some type of very flat and wide bar that you could use to squeeze a little bit more calories from. Food is the lowest priority honestly though.
@@caseywatson113 another EmergenC or EnerC packet with a couple sugar packets to bolster the carbs and calories of the drink mix or have you on their own would probably fit in there as is. Be a nice little pick me up at the expense of a few grams and not much space inside.
The wire handles and the metal pieces are pot holders that can be attached to the military survival kit tin and it can be used as a cooking pot or whatever
Well thought out kit. I think they could leave out the Exotac in favor for a better emergency blanket and possibly a little better knife. The condoms replaced by one or two Whirlpak bags. The battery bank is a good unthought of idea, include a small rechargeable flashlight or headlamp maybe, the batteries are already there also? The space is already there in the bag. Can't wait to see your field video using this.
The emergency blanket was the biggest challenge. Even a contractor bag will not fit. I have a huge amount of bivy sacks, emergency blankets, ponchos, space blankets etc. ALL of them are simply too bulky to fold flat enough to fit in the MRE bag. It's an incredibly small space with rounded edges. Square semi rigid items are actually the hardest items to fit. If you have suggestions I will try them out.
@@caseywatson113 An SOL two person would probably fit? It's a good kit no doubt, I would just make some minor changes and it'd be a great kit for someone that didn't want to put together their own.
@@glockwhiskey6984 No I tried the SOL. It has to be something that is extremely flat and not much larger than an altoids tin. I can't overstate how difficult it is to cover all the bases in a foot print the size of an MRE bag. Even a contractor bag doesn't fit.
@@procaliberhq Me too. I bought a couple for my boys and grandson for Christmas. My granddaughter was upset that she didn't get one, so I gave her mine.
This is the only pocket knife of theirs that I have. Then I have the large survival fixed blade and used it a lot last winter season. Plan on using it a good bit more soon for some bushcraft camping @@KHudd
Not a bad kit but...get rid of the exotac nanospark and the extra condoms because theyre not necessary, in their place add a mora fixed blade and some sort of shelter component besides the cheap poncho. It does have better brands in it but I would rather go with a lesser name brand while still being quality to allow more items, exotac makes great products but its just not necessary with a lighter and ferro rod. Its not a bad idea but a little cost prohibitive imo 🤷 but at least its not filled with complete junk lol.
It was put in considering most all flashlights takes one of the 2 types of batteries. So you'd have spares or if you hadn't replaced them in the lights you keep in your home/vehicle you'd have batteries.
Its the French ration version here is a link to it mremountain.com/collections/equipment-tactical-gear-and-survival/products/french-army-ration-mre-heating-kit
@@procaliberhq best order: 1) water w/ mini coffee filters for sediment 2) tinder, multiple fire methods 3) little key chain flashlight with new battery 4) 1-3 of the utility razor blades 5) whistle for rescue 6) something for fever or pain 6) something for gashes
The ITS MSK is in stock 50 bucks .. it's an altoid sized kit and I haven't seen anyone do a survival video with it ... but I'd rather see you make your own custom altoid kit
The batteries look like they’ve the bargain basement Chinese variety that will inevitably leak and eventually damage the remainder of the contents. The poncho would be next to useless in comparison to the SOL version or even one of the better space blankets. The remainder of the contents were better than I expected though a couple whirl pak water bags would be nicer than the condoms.
brother i get that same stuff on my hands but it only effects the tips of my finger. But it cracks peels and bleeds. very painful. sorry, you're just the only other person i've seen with it. have you ever had it diagnosed?
Wrong. I've been making MRE survival kits for close to two decades. I use an actual MRE which I enhance, then add survival gear. I started making them for search and rescue then some for military and private contractors.
I've had most of the american MRE's from the past 5 years and they aren't that bad especially after a lot of hiking haha but I've had the french MRE and it was really good. I have a British 24 hour MRE that I'll be trying in a video soon!
@@procaliberhq would really like too get the USA and Spanish mre's. Importing decent mre's are expensive. Great video. Became a subscriber after thus vid.
This is a joke right? This is a survival bag this is a gadget bag I mean really usb charges and usb etc uhhh no the tablets sure the fire sure but dam not even any type of food besides an energy bar.
wow $199.99 that is a lot of money for what you get....thanks for the review

There's a lot of good ideas in that pouch.
I agree

One thing I forgot to mention is there are slightly different variations of this kit.

@@parkerdrury5861 good idea. I would probably opt for some Propel or other electrolyte tube mixed with sugar/carbs.
This was an early version of the kit: The FINAL BASE kit adds: tinderZIP x 5, hot hands hand warmers x 2

Thanks for the great feedback my man! I'm hoping to get this kit out for an overnighter by the end of next week.

Like that Holtzman knife.
Been carrying this one for over a month now and its performing great. They make some quality knives

Nice vid man. Crazy how much im interested in mre's
MRE's are interesting and seems like there is always something new to learn about them

What stove is that from BCB? 🤔

What's the ETA on a survival video using only the Inside of an altoid tin ?
Very soon. Waiting on a smock to get here haha
@@procaliberhq OK now , don't wrap a bookbag around it like you did with the jute twine . I'm kidding
haha I promise. The only thing thats going to be on the outside is a piece of tape around the lip of the tin to waterproof it. @@frankyturrizo4240

I for sure will. And I'll check the kit out you mentioned.

This was one of the very first concept kit bags so i'm sure the company appreciates all the feedback.
😊❤
Thanks!
IN AN EMERGENCY THAT KIT MIGHT SAVE A LIFE.
For sure
Is this company based in the United States 🇺🇸 sir? Thanks
Yes! 100% based in the US.

Its just calluses from the finer activities i'm always doing with my hands and picking at them haha
The base kit is right around 2lbs weight.
$199.00? Don’t think so! Way, way too expensive for what you get! Nice video tho with good ideas so you can DIY! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
200 are they crazy......you can buy all this stuff for 100

5 condoms must be for intertainment purposes and not water. Lol
Overseas Mre's looks alot more delicious. Importing mre from the USA or other countries are super expensive. South Africa's mre is super bland.

THE UNIVERSE WANT S MORE VIDEO THAN YOU BRO
Thank ya!
Please tell me you stole that, or they sent it to you and you did NOT pay $200 for that pile of crap! 🤣🤣🤣
It was sent to me haha
Lol This is a pyromaniacs travel kit. This is a hard pass for me - too much weight and too many useless parts.
Thanks for playing.
Anything can be useful. This kit just has a lot of redundancies when it comes to fire.
