Nice pocket kit overall for supporting 24 hours or so. Sandwich bag is pretty fragile, so I agree that a freezer bag is better. Also fishing line would be better than the cordage on the kit.
One of the better kits you've reviewed. Knife, ferro, H2O prep, a bit of cordage and tape, compass, and flashlight. Fatwood was a nice touch. Maybe add a Cliff bar and an emergency mylar blanket in your pockets as well, and you've got a legit emergency system. Thanks for your review!
No problem I thought this was a good kit. I think your additions are definitely worth adding it would make it a full system I really like the space blanket
You need a gallon of water per water tab, so I’d replace that sandwich bag or use it to collect tinder like birch bark, etc... a gallon baggy won’t fit in that tin, which is more likely why they put the thin sandwich bag in. No biggie, they put some other good items in that kit. These tins are really only made as small lightweight additions to what you would carry in your backpack for a hike or casual walk in the woods. It’ll assist in a small cut or scrape and in emergencies for a night in the woods, maybe two at most if you’re resourceful. I’d carry a Victornox Ranger multi tool in my pocket for the saw blade to process wood though, also you’d need a striker for that ferro rod in the kit, (all saw blades have a 90° angle on the spine), and it has other useful tools. Great content, thanks for the video review.
That's a pretty well thought out and impressive kit for an Altoids kit. It's a little disappointing that they didn't add mico cord instead of that horrible cordage. I'd rather lose a few cents profit and give someone decent cordage. Especially since there's a chance that someone's life may depend on that kit one day. No battery in the flashlight was also a little disappointing. If you put a battey in and use a small piece of clear plastic sheeting to seperate the contact it will keep the battery from leaking. I'd hate to open this kit and be dependent on the light only to find out that there's no battery. The sandwich bag should be swapped out for a more durable freezer bag. Add a flattened and rolled up bendy straw. It will make drinking out of a bag a lot easier and takes up almost no room.
That’s a great idea about the straw that’s a well thought out comment. I like the idea about switching the cord out that stuff does suck to work with. If your not going to include the battery I would at least put it in the description of the product or in the package so you know when you open the package the flashlight has no power
I’d swap in micro cord, a button, lithium, cell micro light and a different knife, because I have several. I’d use the extra room, from smaller light, and probably knife, to add a sheet of foil. I’d consider the sandwich bag an adequate backup, considering how common discarded water bottles are almost everywhere.
Yea your right folded up the correct way you can fit a whirl pack bag in there easy. The light though I feel is awesome for the size of this kit. Compared to one of them little fob lights this thing is next level. The sheet of foil would fit without even removing anything from the kit. 14’x14’ piece would be no problem at all I repacked this kit easy without even thinking about it. Unless you are replacing the knife with a SAK I wouldn’t even recommend it because it’s going to do what you need it too as a cheap kit knife. Honestly the kit is decent I don’t mind it at all!
Interesting about the bubble, I did not know that. I have brand name compasses with bubbles that still work perfectly. This kit is nice---proves that you can fit a regular edc flashlight, folding knife and ferro rod in a pocket tin! I might swap Tenacious Tape & Cover-Roll patches for the bandaids, and microcord for the cordage. Also add another safety pin, needle & thread, and a small jigsaw or hacksaw blade. Thanks WS!
That’s an awesome contents list plus replacements I totally agree with the cordage this crap would work in a pinch but i did some research on the compasses and turns out some companies leave some air in there on purpose for the expansion of the liquid in certain temperatures and elevations. This kit is a great edc survival base kit. People can definitely upgrade components as they gather better gear there are quite a few good edc flashlights that size and folding knives that would fit in place of it especially like a victorinox with Alox scales. Thanks for commenting again I appreciate it!
@@LostLittleElf with the larger compasses the bubble are small enough to allow needle movement but the button compasses the bubble can get large enough to make the button compasses inaccurate. Thanks
Yea a Swiss Army knife would be nice to have even a classic SD is fairly usable for what that kit is good for. Whirl pak bags are great for water storage and completely sterile when you get them. They do take up a lot more space
Some post/mail refuses to ship anything with battery regardless of battery type. Also for small package flashlight could be smaller as that would allow to put more other stuff.
Yea I do like the brightness that that light produces I think an Olight i3e would be a good budget option that takes up less space but still gives you good battery power and brightness
I was actually intrigued by this bubble also so I did some research too and some company’s leave a bit of air in there as an area for the liquid to expand as long as the bubble doesn’t impede the movement it’s fine thanks for the comment also!
It's not a bad little starter kit for someone to take and make it their own. For me, if I need a bandaid.....let's be honest here, I don't REALLY need a bandaid, but for those who snivel like a rat eating an onion, a piece of duct tape and a small part of a cotton ball, and TA-DAAA you have a bandaid. The cotton ball can help with fire starting, and so can the duct tape, as well as repair your water bag. Yeah yeah yeah, infection and all that, but again, let's be honest, this kit is just for a night or two or maybe three, and you're home, and a bandaid is about as good at stopping an infection as a mask is for stopping a virus. Both are about as effective as putting up a chain link fence to stop mosquitos from coming in your yard. I'd rather have one or two of those BIG perfume sample vials, and fill them with my favorite bug juice. Getting eaten alive all night long will be much worse than a scratch needing a bandaid. Also, I'm not sure how really useful a safety pin is in these small kits, and when I read that it can be used as a fishhook as well...pfff....why would you pack a kit and fill it with things that just make survival harder? Why not just add a couple hooks while sitting at your kitchen table putting it together? I'm not saying fishing is a must have item in these little kits, but hey, if you're near water and you better hope you are, why not wet a line and see what happens. I'd rather go to bed with something in my belly and not being eaten alive by bugs. Most of these kits are just filled with fluff or filler items, rather than true useful quality survival items. I mean I get it, they're trying to make something that can work to some degree, but also make them a buck or two as well. You just need to find an affordable kit that's close to what fits your needs, and then make it your own. For me and 95% of the time, I need fire, water and bug juice, and I'm good for a while, but that doesn't stop me from watching damn near every survival kit video I can find...lol Keep up the great work.
Look up his video from about a month ago. About 90% of the kit contents were snacks but I was an idiot because I called the kit out for that. Everyone was like "ohh what a great kit." Like u said, sure some items are fine but how about making the kit 90% useful stuff and 10% snack?
Thank you for the comment. I appreciate it most of the items in all of these kits are filler items for this time of year in my area. All you would really need to spend the night for one single night would be a space blanket and a bic lighter. now the idea of having bug spray it’s great, especially because when I go hunting, I do not put on any strong scent at all. I don’t even soap my clothes inpermethrin these kits give you a good baseline to start with then you can build off of it if you want, but it’s always better to build a kit based off of your needs and your location plus taking to consideration the season you’re in and your skill set some of the stuff in these little kits do have multiple uses if you are creative enough or have the right problem-solving skills everything has multiple uses just creativity and sometimes that is more important than the Gear you have. I can survive 24 hours no problem this time of year with no gear at all, I could literally go in the woods right now, and build a shelter with deadfall and pine tree branches, and hang out there all day and all night with literally nothing and survive until the morning, but they leave room in these kits so you can add water bags, straw, batteries, fish hooks, fishing line, etc. most of the stuff in these kits are designed to make you a little bit more comfortable than having nothing at all. It would be awesome to have a massive INH inch every time you leave but not a lot of people are going to grab that giant bag every time they go to leave that’s why I disagree with a comment below this one about the kit from last month with the food in it I actually like that kit I think you’re in a lot of trouble if you can’t survive one night in the woods with a fire shelter and a few snacks if you can’t survive with that, I don’t recommend you go in the woods at all not recommend any pocket survival kit for a extended stay kit, but you never know what could happen while you’re out there so I think the more stuff you can fit in there the better while still keeping it compact as possible that being said, I love seeing what these companies put in these things and I like hearing how other people would change the kit around to benefit them.
I still think that kit is good. I have no problem spending the night in the woods with some food a shelter and a fire if you can’t survive with that I don’t recommend you ever taking a trip into the woods alone because you will die for sure.
@@whitetailsurvival2430 Yes, I agree with you that kits are built off of personal experiences, time of year and things like that, but there's another thing to consider, and that's your mind set. By that I mean....for "ME" anyway, I know me, and I know that if I'm lost, there's an absolute ZERO chance that I will stop at 2 or 3 in the afternoon and start preparing for an unplanned night in the woods. I'm too hardheaded and I will walk and try to find my way out and probably around 10pm I will finally figure out that I'm not getting out of the woods until morning. By then it is too late to start a fire, and gather wood, or build a shelter, plus I will be too tired to do all that. So, for "ME", my survival kit is pretty simple, a space blanket, 12-hour liquid candle and a book of matches and a mini-Bic, and a plastic Ziplock bag. This is what I carried in my coat pockets while deer hunting up in northern Wisconsin. My plan was simple, fill the Ziplock with snow, wrap myself in the space blanket, lean against a tree, and I have two ways to light the candle and stick it between my legs inside the space blanket with me. The heat will melt the snow for some water, and I will stay warm enough for 12 hours of sitting until morning and I find my way out. No fluff or fillers, and it's also not a sexy cool survival kit either, but it works for "ME" and my situation and my hardheadedness. I have instant shelter, instant all night warmth, two ways to start a fire, and a way to get a little water. Does it work, yes, would it sell, nope, because it's not sexy or cool, but would be a perfect compact kit for a hunter to carry. If you go to Walmart in their garden section, you can buy those liquid candles now for the end of summer sales for pennies. Last time I bought cases of the 12 hour candles for 25 cents each and 36 hour candles for 50 cents each I think it was. I'll never need liquid candles again. They're usually by the tiki torches. In the summer my kit I carry in my pocket changes a little, and bug juice in perfume sample vials are a big part of it. I like those vials because I can get them in all sizes and they're cheap, and refillable with what I use for bug juice. Another thing I carry that most don't, is a tube of Orajel with 20% benzocaine. That stuff works great for blisters, bee stings, bug bites, cuts and things that tend to happen in the summer. You can ask ten different people what's in a survival kit and you'll get ten different answers, and they all might be right. It's like the old question....How long is a string? No matter the answer, it's a right answer. It's right if someone says 10 inches and it's right if someone says 10 feet. As far as snacks go, they're nice to have, but in a kit, I'd rather buy my own food and have the kit focus on a few quality items to get me through a night or two. I hear all the time about people complaining about the taste of survival bars, and how they're not very good. Well, the military knows that survival food or bars, are really not supposed to taste like a Snickers candy bar. They are designed that way to taste just "OKAY" if you're starving. If they made them to taste great, military personnel would eat them out of boredom or because they taste like a Snickers, and then when needed, they've already been eaten and are gone from the survival kit. There is logic as to why REAL survival bars don't taste all that great, but are "OKAY" when you're starving. The problem is that doesn't sell when youtubers make a video saying how bad they taste or rate them low on taste when compared to other "Survival Bars". I still love watching these videos, and seeing what others put in kits, and maybe learn something new, but for the most part, a very basic kit doesn't really change. I think what happens, is people confuse military survival kits with civilian survival kits. Just think about it, how many civilians really know how to use a compass, BUT they need one in their kit? How many are in need of a handcuff key, or fishing kit or anything like that? They just need to make it for a day or so until they're found. The military might be out there for a while in an E&E situation and traveling at night, so those things like a small compass, a way to get some food, and treat a larger amount of water, are all things that might be needed for them, but not so much for a civilian. Again, how long is a string?
Yea most of the budget priced ones do. Due to possible expansion of the liquid inside as long as the bubble isn’t big enough to cause problems with the rotation then it’s going to be fine
I don’t think that’s true I learned that from atmospheric pressure any compass can form a bubble and the bubble can go away when the oil is heated or It can be bigger in the cold as long as It still points north it’s not Broken!
@@whitetailsurvival2430 sir I did not say it was broken I said bad not reliable and all those compasses do not contain oil so the heat will not work on the water filled ones . Those button compasses come in different grades like AA ,A and if they develop a bubble it can affect your bearing and if your lost I would not trust a compass with a bubble in it. It’s better to use a large compass because most of those kits use cheap ones because of costs. Now if you have an oil filled preferably Japanese made compass they will last longer and less likely develop bubbles or the ones that have no fluid in them like the brass NATO sere compasses 🧭which work well. Thanks for your video’s but I don’t agree on this subject. Sincerely Due North 👍🇺🇸🙂
Nice pocket kit overall for supporting 24 hours or so. Sandwich bag is pretty fragile, so I agree that a freezer bag is better. Also fishing line would be better than the cordage on the kit.
Yea some heavy duty braided fishing line works great in a pinch you are right!

I like all your ideas! Great substitutions. I think the aquatabs are for a quart or liter so a quart bag should be plenty for one tab 😄

Not a bad little kit for what it is. I'd swap out the sandwich bag for a whirl-pak.
I swear to God sometimes I think I'm the only person who knows about those lol
I love the whirl-pack bags it’s nice to be able to stand the bag up and know it’s a liter

Impressive, but I would pitch the sandwich bag and replace it with a 1 quart freezer bag. Sandwich bags a too fragile. Nice video.
Thanks I appreciate the comment! You’re right also the freezer bags are stronger and hold liquid a lot better!

I'm looking forward to the leatherman surge video
Haha 🤣 judging by your name it seems like you would 😂 I have one here to go over it’s an older one but still good
Yeah, nice and useful pocket survival kit.
Yes, I like this one. Also, I think it’s a pretty good little kit
Ok, interesting little kit, but what would you use to scrape the ferro rod with ? Does the blade of the knife have a 90 degree edge on it ?
You can always use the blade edge to strike the ferro rod if you need too. It will work I have done it. Especially if all you have is a slip joint.
Nice kit
Yes I thought it was a good little kit also!
@ really nice
Most compass have a bubble already in them I've only had 1 not work
Yea most of the budget priced ones do. Due to possible expansion of the liquid inside as long as the bubble isn’t big enough to cause problems with the rotation then it’s going to be fine
👍
Thanks!
So is this the same size as an Altoids? Or a little bigger?
It’s alittle thicker but not as long or wide.
👍🇲🇾
Thanks!!
I refuse to comment because you'll think I'm picky 😂
Picky isn’t always a bad thing and I like hearing what people really think like I said any comment helps
No fishing line and hook is realy bad
There’s room to add it I guess 😄
Waste of money.
Why do you say this?
All bubbles 🫧 are bad for any compass 🧭 period!
I don’t think that’s true I learned that from atmospheric pressure any compass can form a bubble and the bubble can go away when the oil is heated or
It can be bigger in the cold as long as
It still points north it’s not
Broken!
@@whitetailsurvival2430 sir I did not say it was broken I said bad not reliable and all those compasses do not contain oil so the heat will not work on the water filled ones . Those button compasses come in different grades like AA ,A and if they develop a bubble it can affect your bearing and if your lost I would not trust a compass with a bubble in it. It’s better to use a large compass because most of those kits use cheap ones because of costs. Now if you have an oil filled preferably Japanese made compass they will last longer and less likely develop bubbles or the ones that have no fluid in them like the brass NATO sere compasses 🧭which work well. Thanks for your video’s but I don’t agree on this subject. Sincerely Due North 👍🇺🇸🙂
