Might sound odd but in all my PSK i add a mouse trap. its great for small game or even a possible booby trap / alert system compact and affective.
Awesome idea
Did you mean “effective”?
@@bruceboone1232 I did indeed. It's good to see someone trying to affect change in an effective way.
I love that idea. Even a small cage style trap if you have the room.
I have two rat traps in my larger survival kit. Painted them brown and put a 6 Ft. lanyard on them. Caught several squirrels and a small hare in them. a very effective trap system (with some peanut butter or soft cheese!).
Best survival kit video till now. Advice to add: 100$ cash!!!, windproof lighter, magnesium shot for muscular cramps. My experience into the wild learned me to always carry a simple lightweight plastic poncho. When all the expensive gore-tex equipment will fail, a simple plastic poncho will do the job. l also carry garbage plastic bag.
Cross loading is what it’s all about. Which is somewhat ironic for me to say given that I build survival kits. Today I browsed through a local outdoor store here in the Pacific Northwest. Looking primarily at 3 season jackets. Almost without fail they all offered minimum 6 pockets. Any one of which held more volume than most of the Altoids type kits that are so popular. In fact as the original cigarette pack size survival tin was introduced by British SAS to compliment a larger belt kit, I’ll use them as an example. The 10c’s can be nicely organized & packed into 3-4 repurposed steel Bandaids boxes, tobacco tins, Vietnam era infantryman’s blow out belt kit or even small Tupperware. Instead of putting these, along with other essentials into some type of auxiliary bag (butt pack, haversack, waist bag) that doesn’t interfere with one’s primary ruck, why not simply utilize pockets? If a sojourner wears cargo pants and chooses a jacket with several pockets, those pockets combined hold more than most bags that can be worn in tandem with a ruck. The idea, of course, being maintaining critical capabilities even if a primary pack is stolen, swept down river or tumbles into an inaccessible ravine. Another hack that’s a bit ersatz but works nonetheless is making a few fly by night pouches from duct tape then placing them cross loaded across ones available pockets. The only warning when it comes to eschewing a single bag is that pockets must be securely fastened. YYK zippers are my preference. Velcro is substantially tougher than it was 20 years ago but it still has that one weak spot: detritus in the loop side. Lastly buttoned down cargo pockets are usually safe but if there’s any doubt whatsoever ask yourself “will this open if I take an unplanned header into a creek?” Use the largest safety pin available (before getting into blanket pins size) By adding that additional safety closure to cargo pockets, along with buttons, the very worst that happens is having a few extra of the ultimate MacGyver tools when/if a survival situation occurs.
Read a piece the other day about when search and rescue come on-scene of a lost hiker they use something out of the victims car. Typically the trunk. Shoes, T shirts and gym clothes are their go-to’s to get the dogs on-scent. And know what they find when they open said trunks? The survival kit that the victim spent the time and money to develop only to leave behind last minute. Just one of dozens of reasons why cross loading into pockets is almost always a great option.
PS: Amazon sells 3 packs of steel Altoids style boxes that are 1 inch larger all around. So still 3.5x4.25 (small) but offering considerably more volume than actual breath mint cans. They average out to $2.25 apiece. Well worth it as they hold larger ferro rods, full size folder knives & Leatherman and even Sawyer mini’s.
When you watch survival tutorials remember it’s what you are wearing & carrying that counts. Got room in a few jacket pockets and cargo pants pockets? Add another 10 bullion cubes. Add another 20 butterscotch candies. Add 3 more king size Snickers. I’m dead serious. Yes, cross load all your survival goodies throughout the 15 pockets of wilderness trousers & jacket/vest/parka. But remember your digestive engine is a massive heater that burns at 98 and a half degrees F.
Let’s say you have 6 trouser pockets and 5 jacket pockets. 11 pockets total. Now add a snack to each pocket. Into 3 you add a king size Snickers. Into 2 you add 16oz bags of jerky. Into 4 you add a Cliff Bar and 10 caramels per pocket. And into 2 you add peanut butter Power Bars. Whoops. You’re stranded for 6 days. By just adding a small snack, 1 to each pocket you’re carrying 5,838 calories. Yes I just did the exact math. That’s 973 calories per day just from making a prudent stop at the Dollar Store and actually using each pocket you’re wearing. If you included a few caffeine tablets in your survival kit you’ll practically dance to the rescue helicopter.
Remember you have more capacity IN YOUR POCKETS than any survival fanny pack or butt pack sold on Amazon. You can carry everything you need to survive a week, no problem, on your person & without a bag that can get lost or stolen. The only exception is proper shelter. Nowadays there’s even tarps that roll small enough to carry in a large cargo pocket.
You are right, using jacket and pants pockets is an awesome way to carry survival gear, but your suggestions about food placed everywhere is ridiculous. In a 72-hour scenario it's completely overkill. Two bullion cubes and two 100g-packs of nuts and raisins (per day) are sufficient.
As far as shelter goes, some jackets have a large pockt in the back that easily fits a tarp and a drop-cloth to make a "Super-Shelter".
I'd replace half the coffee and clif bars with boullion cubes, they're much better and have a genuine nutritional value in a real life 72 hour shtf type event or extended enforced outside stay. They're not a dieretic and replace valuable salts and minerals which coffee removes, AND they also taste awesome which is nice.
U could also replace a couple coffee packs w those little drink mixes w electrolytes ie Gatorade makes some. Yum and needed electrolytes
Bullion cubes make you live.
Coffee packs make you want to live.
11:54 ...I would prefer bank line #36 over 550 Paracord. Why ??
1) Bank line is water proof and rot proof . P-cord absorbs water, and gets weaker in time.
2) Bank line doesn't stretch . P-cord does
3) Bank line holds knots better and longer, cause of the Tarr in it . P-cord will slip with alot of knots.
4) weak spots on P-cord are found where knots are tied. Bankline will not
have weak spots P-cord will weaken in abrasion spots. B-line will not
5) 550 P-cord has less than 550 breaking point, when it is working. The breaking strength lessens by 40% making P-cord 300 breaking point. B-line has a 320 breaking point and will hold its breaking point longer.
6) 550 P-cord is made of a 200lb sheath and 7x 50lbs inner strands.
#36 B-line is twisted from 3 strands with each one is 107 lb strength.
7) #36B-line, which is 2mm thick, making it good real estate in your cordage kits, and lighter weight than paracord's 4mm thickness. You can carry more B-Line cordage for weight without sacrificing much strength or capability.
9) Paracord is better for visibility , unless your setting snares or trip lines, and nets..then B-line is better.
10) length of 1/4 lb of Paracord is 56 feet (17 m)
Length of 1/4 lb of Bankline is 138 feet (42 m)
Things to consider: chemical heaters when obtaining wood and starting a fire is impractical - your saw and axe can relax. Optionally, a few rocks below your mug/pot with Esbit heat tabs to heat water/food. A heat reflective tarp for shelter - a polyethylene bivy and survival blankets don't cut it as shelter - try sleeping with rain and wind pelting them with you under. A knife/axe sharpener. A PLB is fine for night but useless in day. I carry 2 red/orange smoke flares - prepping a fire when aircraft are in the area takes too long to get started generating smoke and basically useless in rain and high wind. You need to act quickly. A signal mirror is good for fair skies assuming directionality to help exists. Spare shirt and socks if you are wet and a breathable, waterproof and wind resistant anorak or jacket. There are better choices than Cliff bars for food energy. I didn't notice a flashlight. I carry a 650 lumen one as well as a headlamp. What do you keep inside your mug/pot - useful for storing a folding spork, cleaning cloth, scrubber, Esbit or equal heat tabs, snare wire or fishing leader? And what about a small fish kit? What about a foldable or roll type water container vs rubbers - they may have pin holes. What about triple antibiotic and a tube of super glue for sealing wounds? The heat reflective tarp is probably the highest volume item. You could carry a painter's poly tarp cut to 9' x 9' giving you good coverage for a number of weather conditions although not the most durable unless locating yourself in a protected spot from high wind and cold wind. I prefer setting camp below a spruce or pine tree, normally dry on the needles, shielded from the weather.
Finally someone who had the sense to include two mylar blankets!
How about a pair of socks to support the condoms we're filling precariously with water to help them last more than one usage. A tip from the legendary Lofty Wiseman ❤
I love it
As an Alaskan as well. I cant have too many ways to start a fire here in south central . Large hand warmers for fast long lasting heat saved the day many times
Also a long time Alaskan here. I’ve never watched this guy before. A little skeptical so far. Bear loads didn’t look like hard cast bear loads! Where was his speed loaders??? I would go for a Ruger Redhawk! S&W wheel guns usually can’t handle big bear loads. They don’t have enough spacing between between the wheel and the Barrel to facilitate the length of a large super bear load.
@@runyourrace2finish910 UA-cam is jumpy about anything related to the terrifying topic of "firearms" even history firearms history channels cant be monetized now cause it talks about those big ol scary guns and UA-cam just cant have that plus it flags your video and takes it out of the algorithm so even subscribers won't get notifications cause of it and the video wont circulate out either. Welcome to the hell scape that UA-cam created cause they're scared of anyone learning or becoming self sufficient or saying "mean things".
Nice kit 👍, except for the condoms as water containers... these are very fragile fail-prone, just bad, containers. I switched to "Whirl Pack" bags years ago; lightweight, sturdy, multi-use. Even a zip lock bag is better than the condoms (unless they're actually for their intended use). 👍☘️👍
When filling the condoms it is best to carry them in a sock so that the water weight/pressure don't bust it, and it wont get poked.
Great little kit. It does not take too much room but a shopping bag (free) folded up comes in handy & I was given a carton of Keyrings with a foldable shopping bag - cheap I know but can be used so many ways including carrying stuff.
Toss the condoms and put in a 1L Whirlpack water bag or 2. I tossed the condoms out of my 1990's kits a few years back. Otherwise, a solid PSK. I carry a Khukri instead of a pack axe, a custom camp/hunting knife with a scandi grind and a 3/8-inch spine, and a Wicked Tree Gear folding saw vice a Gomboy saw... but to each his own!
The important thing is that it works for you, and you don't die!
P.S. - Toilet paper!
I also carry a titanium cup for boiling and cooking but my favorite water setup is the sawyer mini/smart water bottle combo. 2 smart water bottles 1 for dirty and 1 for clean water. Threads fit perfectly with the sawyer
thanks mate. ive not been out yet but comments like yours are more useful tha you know. cheers 😊
You have the "clown car" of survival kits because I was pleasantly surprised at what you kept on pulling out. I made a smaller survival kit using the pouch of a military first aid kit about 50 years ago. The contents can still be used today but after seeing your video I'm going to slightly expand on it by adding a few of your ideas along with some of mine. Excellent presentation. Happy Trails!
Thank you kindly!
I would include a quick clot item. Do you have a multitool? Leatherman, Victorinox? Maybe throw in a mini flashlight just for backup?
Also, if I were lost in Alaska, I'd probably want a strobe light on me for any aircraft to see overhead. I've not looked into one myself but if I lived in Alaska, I'd get one. I'd also carry a big bottle or two of bear spray, as backup. I'd carve a spear out of a stick to use for a walking stick and defense tool for any animal charging. I remember watching a video of a Swede hiking in mountains and he saw a bear coming toward him from afar. No guns over there, so i thought if only he carried pepper spray or at least carved a spear or two. Thankfully the bear eventually ran away but that doesn't always happen.
Just saw a video of a guy using fiberglass wicks that're soaked in a little bit of parrafin oil (kept in airtight tube) for good fire starting option. Think it was on WayPoint Survival channel on UA-cam. Title of video is *Re-Usable Fire Starter*
Just some suggestions for anyone to consider.
Your bot can be filled with supplies too 👍
Good overall kit. You might consider a sandwich sized ziplock bag for the tinder in your kit. No extra space taken up and if you get hit with heavy rain or fall in a creek your ability to combat hypothermia won't be compromised by the water.
a one piece cook kit doesn't make sense to me. If you boil water yer stuck until you use it up. If you cook food in it, you don't have water. A bottle with a nesting cup may weigh more, but it's so much more useful, it's worth the bit of weight.
I carry a 1 L bottle with 2 nesting cups. 500 ml cup on top, and a 750 ml cup on the bottom. So I can boil water in the bottle and the 500 ml cup, and cook food in the 700 ml cup/pot at the same time. It's a big time saver when you can do it all at once.
Very good kit. I have actually modified my survival kit based on your advice. Thanks Dave 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
for my food source i use vacuum sealed protein powder you can get more bang for your buck.
Overall a solid kit, I would trade that water bottle for a GRAYL & a matching cup! Also some folks need to add about a week's worth of personal meds!......JMO
Pretty much same kit I have except I have 50 ft of paracord total, quikclot, extra-long cable ties, Pemmican, salt and pepper packets, water filter & water bag, 2 glow sticks toe and hand warmers, Super glue and opiates.
that is a lot stuff in a small bag. i think it's a pretty good kit. but.... your shelter imo could use some help. i'd keep the blanket rolled up in the shemagh, and add a military style poncho. i assume you wear the bag on your belt, so you could tie the poncho under the bag or hang it from your belt. maybe 10-20 feet of paracord or bankline. i like Lara bars better than cliff bars or maybe a combo of both would be ok. also i'd have a headlamp and extra batteries. just my thoughts.
Awesome kit, two suggestions that may help you is switching to two Whirlpack water bags and having some sort of a small back up flashlight. The water bags hold up better and don’t take up too much space!
Probably why he carries a quality Smith & Wesson revolver to hunt for smaller game and for protection. Also, the knife to build traps and shelters and to help cut wood to smaller pieces for kindling. Yes important to have nourishment bars. If you are aware of how to locate animals from freshly broken brush animal tracks, you'll find food.
You got some really good stuff. I'd add a tourniquet, I'd change the battery charger to solar charge option, and maybe add a bit more Para chord. Maybe 100 feet or more. Doesn't take up much room.
How often have you used condoms for water carrying?... I tried a few times just to see how it was, and it was a terrible water storage... they say if you put the condom in a sock, it is easier to carry. But I've given up on carrying them.
I dont do it often and yes it is tricky
Thanks
Per inconsistent terrain and trails along steep ridge lines , a variety of tripping hazards, ice, etc
Anyone that has had compound fractures in either leg or ankle would know the elevated mayhem & doom when in remote, secluded locations without an ability to communicate to search / rescue
Nice simple kit that will definitely keep a person with some outdoor/ camping or hunting knowledge... They'll be able stay alive and survive for a short time frame... 48 - 72 hours , or more if it had to come down to it.. Appreciate you sharing your kit with us , it's very need to know useful information.... Stay Safe , Stay Focused , Stay Prepared.....👍🦅🇺🇸🦅
That’s the point
I always love your videos bro I live in Minnesota not close to Alaska but we have r wilderness!! Keep up the good work sir!!
No fishing kit?I'm in Maryland you can't go very far without coming across a pond or stream. Good video THANKS
Good ideas here. For a splendid med kit, try a plastic milspec personal decontamination kit. Three times the capacity of an altoids box, and seals up watertight to boot. Even has a clip to secure it.
Button compass would be a nice tough without taking up space
Excellent video, thank you! 😊
Good video. I have all of the gear you displayed. Including the maxpedition pouch. A nice kit setup. Take care!
Have you tried and trained with speed loaders ? If you need to reload a revolver in hurry you should practice.
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this informative video. You put together a fine kit. Stay safe out here. 😊
I would want a bug head net and or OFF bug dope wipes.
Good kit!
Thanks for taking the time to show us your kit, fellow Alaskan!
How much is the weight? How do you carry it or where do you carry it? Thanks again!
I think you could still squeeze a Victorinox knife in there, unless you carry one in your pocket. One with a saw. Their darn handy. Thanks for sharing.
Hi nice psk I would replace the condoms in the kit for some dedicated water bags would add some duct tape useful for alot of things fire tinder, first aid and repair to name a few could add a couple of hand warmers alway have a couple in my pockets when camping in the cold great for a little added warmth but also to keep electronics warm in exstreme cold to stop the batteries from draining do you carry the kit with the cooking pot full of water if not could put all the psk into a ziplock bag into the cook pot and the emergency becon into a secure pocket away from the cold if there is any room left could squeeze a couple of packet soups in great moral boost in the cold.
Think about adding duck / gorilla tape an Israeli bandage / field dressing and a tourniquet
Cool kit. You guys living an actual survival situation in Alaska, where you could be attacked by a moose or a bear, just a prospect of trying to bring down a bear with 44 magnum is still unsettling to me. Because that bear is moving FAAAAAAST
No compass?
Good video and good Kit
Nice kit.
Great advice on the Holy Trinity.
A small hatchet, small knife and small saw, has everything covered.
"Internet doctrine" these days is "spend $700 on a knife and then beat it to death doing every task" but this is for fools.
People in Finland didnt spend the last thousand years beating their knives to death splitting logs if they could take a hatchet.
I recently took a small, crappy, collapsible saw on a bushcraft trip and it was amazing. I could suddenly craft other tools like mallets so much more easily.
Shame I live in the UK though ..... I cant take a cool revolver like you
Wazoo makes a one L plastic waterbag, think the old style sandwich bags/ not zip lock, that you can actually boil water in. 4 of them will fold up smaller than two condoms.
Wazoo is an awesome company with awesome people and awesome survival gear! Check them out! Worth your time!
Great video ty
Can anyone give a name or link to the BOT holder? Wonder how a Grayl would fit?
You probably shouldn't rely on condoms.
There's a lot of baby daddies that say they leak.😄
I immediately put mud on a bee sting, it draws out the stinger and soothes the pain. The stinger will be out when it is dry.
That's awesome
Mylar blankets are worthless. The tear easily and are hard to keep around your body. Instead use a heavy weight garbage bag similar to the ones used by DoT (Dept. of Transportation).
I was wondering what Maxpedition pouch you are using for your PSK? BTW you did a good job on your survival setup.
Janus pocket extension
@@AlaskanFrontier1 Thank you so much.
Leatherman with a 🎒 a bivy or a tarp too
What Maxpedition pouch is this?
What is the name of this pouch I know the brand is maxpedition but the name as I’d like to buy one
What happend to your ltwright orange knife?
What the name of the pouch? Thanks
What Maxpedition pouch is that? Nice little kit!
Maxpedition Janus
Cool wolf patch. Where did you get it?
Amazon, years ago
No holster?
MMMM condom water... Look up Whirl-pak water bags please.
Is there a story behind leaving all the paracord ends frayed?
You can start a fire with it easier
@@Taco577 true I guess but I always have other tinder that is easier to start, I'd rather not use all my lanyards
I’d ditch the hatchet and carry a bigger knife. The hatchet isn’t big enough to do real axe work anyway. And survival isn’t camping. Once you have a fire going, you can drag bigger logs to the fire with minimal cutting. Maybe add a folding shovel or a cold steel shovel.
While that silky is a great saw, that large tooth pattern might be a bit too aggressive for smaller diameter sticks. And the concave curvature of the teeth cuts faster, but isn’t as conducive to finer tasks. Maybe add an SAK with a saw for that fine work.
for personal psychological reasons, add
3 long lasting butter scotch toffee's or throat losenges for sore throats (any flavor)
2 small bottle upcycle caps (self made) with either honey and olive oil or salt and mix spices
a foldable scissor
axe sharpening puck tied to the axe/hatchet
5 zipties
a colt Police .38 special revolver would also work.
Can you (or anybody) name those stormproof matches please.
Thumbs up for video
Compass ??
do you happen to have a link for that thin ammo carrier pocket container?
Oh that’s a relic of the bygone era, it’s an MTM Case Gard for 44Mag, good luck
@@AlaskanFrontier1 thanks anyway. And nice kit :)
@@The_Bearded_Ladytry natchez shooting supply, they had them as recently as last year.
@@charlesfoehner2598 thanks I'll check it out
You need to redress the blade of the hatch
Huh?
@@AlaskanFrontier1 at the part of the video when you uncover the blade of the hatch you can see rolling on the edge. And to redress the blade is to remove the rolling by a rod of steel like in a butcher block but the don’t sharpen the blade it redress the edge or a sharpening stone that removes metal to sharpen the blade. Now if you don’t want to do that the blades performance will degrade faster over time. And the rolling can also cause chipping of the edge. Now I would use a butcher steel and forgo the stone to keep any blade as long as I can and only remove steel if I really need to. And if you want use a leather strap and you can get a axe sharp enough to shave with I see men do that.
Signal mirror?
Hmm I stay away from them because they are very temperamental.
Where is your tourniquet???? 72hrs you can bleed out in 3-5 minutes????
I’ll say it. If you actually spend time in the wild and you want to continue living, you need a PLB.
Yes. I agree
What does that mean?
At -40 the only thing one trotting around outside should be asking themselves is “What the fuck am I doing trotting around outside-40 degrees?” Any sane idividual anyway.
Perhaps you are in alaska and you had to drive to town for an emergency of some sort. A moose cow runs out in front of you. You hit her and go into a spin on the road. You are 35 miles from the nearest town. Your truck went off into a revine. You're a little banged up and have a few cuts and scrapes. Your truck smells like gas. So you can't stay in it. Now what?
I dont understand the use of a iwatch in a survival situation i moved away from smart watches they are fragile and no good without signal
No toot
OK, Have you ever actually used a condom as a water container? How did that work for you? how many times were you able to refil it?
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Stuff all looks brand new, so many of these vids with kits that are obviously never used.
If you have to use it your in a bad situation. As long as you know how to use ya kit
@@Taco577 practice makes perfect, they should be used.
Jesus, have you updated your gear since 1898?
Too many people want to rely on these small kits. Double or triple the size and yer set. Seems like people want to make survival harder than it needs to be...
Like, why not have an actual tarp. I have a 300 cm x 320 cm tarp. It's reflective on the inside, or you can flip it in the summer and reflect the heat away. Easy to set up in multiple configurations. It's maybe 1/2 lb, and is no bigger than that kit you have. It'll fit in a cargo pants pocket.
A mylar blanket isn't sturdy or reliable for shelter. It's easily ripped, even when trying to be careful with it. Easily ripped in the wind. Good for a reflective surface in a tarp to aim the heat at you but as your only cover, yer putting yourself at risk for hypothermia. Mylar works great if you have a heat source, but if you can't get a fire going and yer already cold, yer going to freeze as you need heat to make them work.
At 1.25x playback speed, he talks like a normal person.
His voice and enunciation don’t sound survival 🤷♂️ his hands do not look like working man hands. And I am sorry that kit is about as Alaskan as Manhattan. 42 yr Alaskan, 2 x iditarod finisher, wilderness hunter, and I work remote locations. That kit doesn’t seem practical at all!
Even 1.5x bro i couldnt handle it fr
@@runyourrace2finish910 Yeah a total fraud for sure.
@@addicted2tools Yup, two hours into a trip with him, he'd be roasting over a fire. Even on a day hike.
WHY did you only list knives on your GEAR LINE? Makes no sense
All I can say is your tools are okay. You need a few more. Like an auger bit. But you do you. Most of the rest of that stuff is just junk got a haul around. I said most of it. I don't mean all of it.
Nope. Just nope.
Don’t really understand why your tinder quick fire plugs are loose inside your kit? Get those things inside something waterproof man😂
Are you a follower of Jesus Christ?
did not change my life ) basic and boring kit
I love everything about this kit, Welldone! ⛰️🏕️
What's that halo beauty called again? I need me one.
Haha, best of luck trying to get one as it’s a one of custom, but it is a Gavko Nurse
@@AlaskanFrontier1 thanks buddy
@AlaskanFrontier1 I just purchased a honey Badger tanto large tan. Would you say that is an excellent budget self defense/ tactical blade? Thanks once again lad.
