    No one forces anyone to buy the things you review. I personally love your videos and I’d rather buy a ready made kit to build on and to add extra stuff to it. Your videos was the inspiration to do so

    I used to think I was the only person who was obsessed with “survival” kits, or kits in general. But I believe you have me beat.
    I’ve been making kits for over 40 years now and thought I’d seen everything that was available. Your channel surprises me more often than not.
    Thanks for sharing your ‘obsession’ with us.

    This is actually a really decent kit. Probably the best pre made/purchasable pocket tin kit I've seen so far. It has water, fire, shelter making, food finding, signaling, basic navigation, and basic first aid covered. That's a lot for a tin. Plus it didn't have any useless BS fillers in it like those card multitools. Add in a mylar blanket and it would be about as good as you could possibly get from a small tin sized kit. I know I would have absolutely thought this was the coolest thing in the world as a kid!

    I completely agree with you in the part that you mention that you do these reviews for fun and not for the price. Many of us may not buy these Kits, but they are definitely entertaining and give ideas to improve our own Kits. I love your content. Keep it up, greetings from Mexico🇲🇽

    Not a bad kit, and the price isn't too unreasonable. I always replace those little cotton tinder firestarters with either cottonballs or tampons soaked in Vicks Vaporub in a small ziploc bag. That way they serve multiple purposes. They still work great as firestarters, and can be used to help heal chapped lips, chafed skin, ease friction on blisters, and help alleviate congestion caused by allergies.

    Eric, great video. Lots of good information and ideas on how to improve our own survival kits. Thanks for taking the time and going to the trouble of making these great videos. Don`t pay any attention to the individuals that complain about the prices. No one is holding a gun to their heads and making them buy anything. They would still complain if you gave it to them for free. You just cannot please everybody, so stop trying. Take care and have a great day.

    It seems like a pretty good kit. If one has room in a pocket it is also nice to pair it with an emergency blanket. I have started including micro cord in my kits too as there are a number of types that are very strong and you get more cord than something thicker.

    Also at $35 I would consider that kit extremely reasonably priced.

    If I wanted to supplement it, I would add more purification tablets and cram as many extra Tinder-Quick tabs into odd corners as possible.

    I bought the pocket survival kit from sol for 40 dollars and I love this kit, it’s small and portable and some people may think it’s expensive but it’s not, because the kit is quality and custom made. It’s just like getting a fake tourniquet off of Amazon from China instead of getting a 35 dollar commercial cat tourniquet that will work and save lives.

    I carried something similar for years as teenager, it was more of an early EDC type thing really I suppose (back before EDC was even I thing I guess as it was in the mid 90s) but you nailed the problem. It's like a game of Tertis tying to get stuff back into a tin which over time made me reluctant to open it up to get things out to use, I ended up dumping it all out into a pencil case and carrying all my 'stuff' that way.

Why get so angry about it!? Take a chill pill and just enjoy the kitbashing!! It’s so much fun to watch you open, evaluate, and then add to the kits! The folks have the option to not buy the kits! What a novel concept!! Would I buy this kit? Yeah, I probably would, but part of the reason I watch is to LEARN! I enjoy putting my own kits together, and your vids give me ideas and options for gear I may want to include in my kits. Thanks again for another great video! I look forward to your next one!

    Not a bad little kit. I do feel it would be better if it was under twenty five dollars. I have most of that stuff in my junk drawer. I like pencils in survival kits. They are great if you get eaten by a grizzly bear and need to write your last will and testament. I would like to see a couple of pieces of paper in the kit. The pencil can also be used as fire tinder if needed. I like keeping a cheap pencil sharpener in survival kits. You can use them to shave twigs for fire tinder.

    As someone who has made and used both homemade and professionally made snares I have to say that I absolutely hate brass wire. It's okay if you are using spring snares but for ground snares I've lost many a rabbit with brass. Brass is a fairly soft metal and animals can twist it around until it snaps. Where I live now snares are not legal so I haven't used them in many years but I doubt little has changed.

    If people don't like the price they don't have to buy it 🤷 it's truly that simple, I see these kit's as a great addition to any kinda bug out or hiking bag. I even keep a kit along with other several pieces of gear and first aid in each of my vehicles and my hiking bag. To get so upset over a price is childish especially considering there are so many different types of them on the market. Just find what fits your needs and price range and you're good. No need to leave harsh comments on a channel that's here to show us all the different options out there and what comes in them. But then again it is youtube and people love to bash everything from the review itself all the way to someone's comment it's just pathetic.

  • @chaosncheckt9356
    @chaosncheckt9356 3 роки тому

    I agree, ignore folks who want to just complain about price. Honestly, $30 for this isn't bad and for a basic kit it's great. If folks want to really complain, let them check out the survival kits at solkoasurvival.com. Those are top shelf kits with quality items that are durable. I was issued one of their pocket kits and carried it for several years and I was fortunately that I was allowed to keep it when I retired. I was so impressed, I purchased several of their larger kits for our vehicles and one for when I'm hiking with my family. Back to Be Prepared Pocket Survival Kit and your review. If you are on a budget or just starting to put together your own kit, this is a good first item. We can all say; oh it would be better with this item, or I don't want that item, etc. That is what's great about survival kits; get a base unit and then modify as you need. I take things out and add to mine depending where I plan to hike, time of year, duration, temperature, etc.
    Oh, I just came across your site and this was my first video. You got another subscriber. Good job
