I never know what a good compass is i’m glad you had one helps me out
Another "C" would be a Colt .45
I wouldn’t trade in a fixed blade for a multi tool. It’s worth the extra weight to have both.
Really a very well done and thought out kit. I really appreciate you taking the time to add links in the description. I'm adding a few of your ideas to my bags. You should put a little kit together for that pouch on your knife. I think knife kits in a pouch, are something that's really underrated. Thanks, and keep up the great work.
I have a knife pouch video on my channel. It's a different knife/pouch but I could apply the same principles to this knife. Thanks for the comment!
Fantastic list. Adding a few of those to my updated list. Looking forward to the 2nd vid.
Excellent video, thank you! I especially appreciate the explanations of why you choose certain items, rather than just showing what they are. 😊 May I suggest that you pre-thread your needle with a small length of thread, which you can use to draw larger lengths of thread or line back through the eye. This can be hard to do in the field, when it’s dark, wet, and/or cold. You’ll be glad you did if you ever have to use the needle 👍
That’s a good idea thanks

Great video ,I've recently gor rid of my leatherman surge. I now pack a victorinox ranger swiss army knife ,a pair of knipex mini combination pliers, a lenox folding hacksaw ,a bahco laplander folding wood saw ,a picquic stubby multi bit screw driver with 6 extra long bits ,a pair if knipex co bolt mini bolt cutters ( best heavy duty hard wire cutters on earth )
And a pair of knipex mini waterpump pliers.
I'm now of the opinion that high quality dedicated tools massively out perform any multi tool .I realise my option requires much more room and is much heavier but I think the huge performance advantages are worth it .
I've taken some great tips from your videos and I particularly like your mini bic lighter wrapped in waxed jute twine gorilla tape and ranger bands ....fantastic emergency fire starter .
I look forward to part 2 of this video. Thanks .
Thanks for assembling this video. I have never heard of the Millbank Bags before, can't believe they are not more "talked about" in preparedness channels. I totally agree with your Surge MT as a go to "survival ready MT". I purchased the slightly longer 6" T-Shank Saw blades for my Surge. I like the Pokelit, but now I'm totally enjoying the Sofirn SP10 Pro. Same capability as Pokelit, not as good of a clip. Thanks for sharing.
Hi 👋
Search for Millbank bag on YT or Google. They have been used for decades by the British Military and are squady proof!😆👍
A few months late.
I disagrer about not needing a fixed blade knife in an urban setting.
The obvious reason is self defense if you dont have a firearm.
However, why they are more important to me are for their ability to demolish wooden doors and drywall.
If im stuck in a room due to an earthquake or similar disaster, a solid fixed blade will help me escape.
Also, it serves the same purpose in reverse, if you really need to enter a room and the door wont otherwise open
A folding knife will work in a pinch for self defense, assuming there’s no longer any concern for rule of law. Also one could create a long sharp stick which would work better as the goal should be to break contact and flee.
Nice Job !
Good list. I would add a headlamp. My Petzl Tikka Plus has served me well for many years and the battery lasts for months, it is a real power sipper. Hands free light is very important.
My second layer Candlepower is a Streamlight Sidewinder Compact 2 which can use AA, CR123, and AAA. I do like the Petzl too.
Informative and beneficial video
You should have a look at the really big monkey one Dave made one with a similar approach and is rating was also great 😉
A lighter is my first choice for fire-starting, with ferro rod being second. Matches often disappoint in windy or damp conditions. I like Bic's. The mini Bic is tiny and good, but I think that I like the Scripto TorchFlame better. The pocket flip-top. It's almost as small as the Mini-Bic. The flame is more robust and looks hotter. And the lighter has a hinged lid to prevent depressing the trigger. I don't yet know if the fuel lasts long enough in the Scripto. It is refillable.
Great content! I watch all your videos. Have you seen the titan survivor cord xt comes with Waxed jute, kevlar, and 20lb fishing line? I like it for the kevlar for escape and evasion!
I have not. I’ll look into the XT
Looking forward to part 2. I always enjoy your videos.
I really like that flashlight that can recharge or use a regular AA. Do you know of any quality headlamps that also have that dual power system?
I like the Streamlight Sidewinder Compact 2 because it can use CR123, AA, and AAA. Also the Petzl headlamps can use either AAA or their rechargeable battery pack.
Thanks! Really appreciate the suggestions!
Also, I would strong advise you to tether the cap on the exotac sleeve to the body. Thats what I did because things end up lost. DO IT!
Great idea, thanks!
👍🤙
Good selection, I like your thought process.
A few weeks ago, I watched a video that came up on my feed, this person was making a bug-out scenario walk from his job site back home - about 11 miles.
He has a brand new channel under 100 subs and was obviously new to prepping and bugging out - he needed help so I responded.
My background: Eagle Scout, Army 2/75 Ranger, Sheriff Deputy, federal first responder team leader, disaster preparedness coordinator.
Again, I like what you have presented so far, but would like to give a couple of tips.
Remember the 3s of survivability (and prepping):
3 minutes without oxygen
3 hours without adequate shelter
3 days without water
3 weeks without food
And 2 is 1 and 1 is none, so have 3 items/options for critical needs.
I obviously haven't seen your part 2, but...
1) I too carry a Survive Knives GSO 5.1 and a Leatherman Surge multi-tool.
Good tip regarding the additional saw blades for the Leatherman.
3) Cover also includes the clothing worn. A poncho should be included for it's multiple uses.
8) Candlepower, in addition to a flashlight, a headlamp with red lense is required in my classes (preferably both using same battery types).
10) Clear water, excellent choices. Geopress and single walled metal (s.s., titanium) bottles, millbank bags are outstanding!
I would add a Sawyer mini filter to a Cnoc bag for dirty water collection.
- Again, you made good choices, just my 2 cents, and am looking forward to watching your part 2!
Nice kit. Very similar to the items in my own bag. I know this is going to sound petty, but it is just my two cents. For #10, why not put clean water instead of clear water? Both start with "C" and clean sounds better. Just saying....
That’s actually a good observation. I should change it to clean water.
Up to 20 now? Fksakes haha, I've barely got my head round five!
It best stop at 20 because I'm not polydactyl...
21… dont forget your chow
Your videos are exceptional. How can I DM you? I would like to pay you to recreate this EDC.
I thought I had an email visible. If not I’ll work on that today.
Some water purification tabs take 3 hours to work, and some take minutes. Is one better than the other?
I like the 30 minute tabs just because they are faster. Not sure which are better.
Radio is missing!
I might replace Comfort with Comms, which would include a radio.
Corn?
I hear 5 C's, 10 c's, 20 c's.....what is it?
Just a way to simplify the major survival gear categories in a way that easy to remember
@@DontForgetYourLunch35 No, I understand that. What I was saying is how many c's is it? There is no consensus on it
There are 21 C’s… the 21st C is for Crayons 🖍 Great for coloring, use as a candle or any other application where wax is helpful, and if you get really hungry, crayons are a great snack 😂
Go to the source for clarity. Dave Canterbury came up with the first list. 5 c’s are the basic items you really need. The second 5 are really nice to have, anything beyond that is a bonus or luxury. Really depends on your skill set, where you are and where your going, and for how long. Obviously if your going somewhere for more than a couple days, you need to pack more, maybe even more than 20 items.

A Bugout bag has to be made to make you feel comfortable and what you put in the bag is to make life easier and to give you a better chance of surviving a life or death situation and the 10 C's is a basis and a guideline to what you need in any environment . Now a wilderness survival kit should be different then a Urban survival kit but also have the same idea to covering the 10 C's . I don't mind carrying extra weight I don't do light weight hiking I'm a survivalist I always carry a bugout bag that can with stand me for weeks I don't bring alot of food buy I bring enough to get me threw 72 hours or even a week and i only carry 1 bottle of water because I live in the White Mountains , NH but I'm from VA buy we get 6 months of winter and there's usually 2 feet of snow or more every year and at night here it cam get down to -25F below so I take 2 knives a hatchet and saw several shelter options a advanced Fire kit because if it's wet or frozen woods hard to get going and you will die fast with no fire but remember 2 equals 1 in a survival situation and water is pretty much everywhere here there's brooks and ponds and rivers everywhere and alot of run offs that come down the mountain side so I don't have issues with water I bring a pot and nesting cup plus a Sawyer mini filter straw and purification tablets I carry flaging tape in my signaling kit and always carry a compass I've been lost up here and it was a white out snow storm I survayed of a trail but the storm it so hard I walked off the marked trail it took 4 days yo get out the woods I had no service of course but I got a little tingly and nervous at first but I had good gear with me so I was warm enough because 2 out of the 4 nights was -22 F degrees anyway I survived the incounter I carry a headlamp and 1 pin light and 1 regular good flashlight all of them are rechargeable and can take batteries so I carry a solar charger aswell but always carry enough gear going light weight hiking sounds good but In reality it could screw you just practice carrying a heavier bag so your endurance and your muscles and breathing are legit
