    Great kit, Lilly. I carry almost the same things, but added a small tube of antibacterial ointment, a few tablets of KI, and a small magnifying lense for making fire in sunny conditions. The cotton balls are soaked in petroleum jelly and stored in a small medicine bottle. My wife and I love your videos and input. Longtime fans. Stay safe out there!

    Hey Lilly - I agree you've put together a really great kit. The only thing that I would recommend (and which doesn't take up much space) is to add a few pain-killer pills, like aspirin, acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, and ibuprofen. These can help you sleep if you are injured or have sore muscles, and help keep you going to get to help or safety. They can be put into the straws and sealed up, like you have already done for your kit. Also consider adding some anti-diarrheal tablets and something with bismuth for stomach problems. Again, these can be bought in very small sizes and should be changed out when you check your battery for your flashlight.

    • @ArmaGuyz
      @ArmaGuyz 9 місяців тому +3

      You know what thats not a bad suggestion I would even think now to add a Benedryll or Alavert if they have it in her country some countries don't have these things.
      But if you got into some bad stuff or stung by a bee hell even snake bit something for allergic reaction would be worth its weight in gold. Only issue is that using benedryll causes drowsiness and that wouldn't be good to have but could certainly help you sleep. Thats the only thing about adding things in cut straws and unmarked containers if youre not in the wild a the police find it in your kit they could say its something else or think it is and in some countries you could end up in legal trouble.

    • @ericthered760
      @ericthered760 9 місяців тому +1

      Everything I mentioned can be bought over-the-counter (i.e., without doctor's prescription) at any apothecary and even petrol stations in the US. As you suggest, would be a good idea to identify the contents of the straws so you'll know what to reach for if you have problems and the authorities can likewise easily check if there are any questions. Given the wide availability of dangerous drugs like fentanyl, it would probably not be a good use of their time rummaging through your bug-out bag, but these days who knows ??

    I like to use different straw colors for different contents (yellow is sunscreen, red is triple antibiotic ointment, green is deet, etc.). Also, if you're crafty, you can use them to make neon slipping or spinning lures for fishing after you open one.

    Many moons ago, when getting to a doctor’s was not an option, my late mother would gather cobwebs from anywhere to stop bleeding. Just FYI, the Yarrow plant (Achillea millefolium), is a well known styptic along with Goldenrod (Solidago) and Horsetail (Equisetum arvense). Perhaps, a small amount could be gathered (best done before the sun rises) dried and stored. Go well 🙏🏼

    Lilly that is a great kit! I remember when I was in the 5th grade one of our assignments was to make a survival kit that fit in a metal band aid box. Its amazing how much stuff you can put in one of those. I would keep it in my jacket pocket for a couple of years until I moved out of the mountain community I lived in during my youth. So a couple of notes on your kit, another use for a tampon is also to plug a wound, I had friend do that exact thing with a friend when one of them got a serious puncture wound, he put three or four into the wound and wrapped with a bandage until they were able to get medical help, it did a great job of slowing down the bleeding. the other thing, is to put a bullion cube or two into your kit, you boil water and add the bullion to the water to make soup per say. so it's salt with some extra flavor. Always enjoy your content, and look forward to your videos. Stay SAFE out there and keep us updated on the situation Europe, God bless!

    • @ArmaGuyz
      @ArmaGuyz 9 місяців тому +2

      Your friend had a great outcome however, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND " AGAINST" USING TAMPONS TO STOP BLEEDING. Tampons absorb blood they do not STOP THE BLEED.
      Youre much more better off using Quickclot, gauze and Pressure. A hemostatic dressing is 100x better than resorting to a Tampon. Heres why, again they absorb blood BUT NOT MUCH OF IT. 9ML... with 4 square inches of surface area. An arterial bleed can bleed 500- 1500ML... So in seconds your tampon method is completely full of blood and useless. The tampon advice is still being passed around as a method but is an ill fated one based on Myth and like your story almost every story out there is Someone who knows someone. Do not trust your life or anyone elses to a tampon ever. Hemostatic wound dressing has a surface area of over 400 Square inches they are impregnated with hemostatic agents and are z-folded and compressed so they will not only stop the bleeding but help with clotting. A tampon in a serious bleeding situation used with that advice could result in death.
      Stop the circulating of that Tampon as a first aid option so that others do not ever trust their life to it. Whatever happened with your friend does not defeat the fact that they don't hold much blood and wont stop the bleeding. Never use them for a gunshot wound its a myth. USE REAL DRESSINGS designed for the purpose.

      Fishing line doesn't take up much room at all. You wouldn't want to do that, because then you would have to pick up the kit in other to unreel it and having it around the container leaves the line open to damage BUT Paracord most certain could be wrapped around the inside of the kit. The Braided line shes got there is really good line too. Fishing line tangles so easily though and if you have to cut it to untangle it you could lose a great deal of valuable length needed.

    • @michaelthibault7930
      @michaelthibault7930 8 місяців тому

      The spool for the fishing line (~2:10) wastes volume (in the core, and outside of the wound line itself). It makes sense to me to have the spooled fishing line stored with -- even joined to -- the fishing kit, the body of which can be used as a handle/pull for the line in use.
      The safety pin might better be replaced with a kilt pin -- extra heavy duty, to the point of lethality.
      The paracord bracelet would probably best be used (and stored) as the handle for the whole kit, the lid of which should probably be metal rather than plastic. Having the cord on the outside makes it more accessible -- in fact, immediately accessible. Are there metal 'fastex' clips available which could, once riveted to the outside of the can, allow the bracelet to be clipped onto the can?
      The sealed straws containing fire-starting material puts me in mind of the possibility of creating re-sealable bags, of arbitrary dimensions, from store-bought re-sealable (zipper) food bags using a Decosonic (or similar) resealer. I'll have to try this...

    When using lighters i prefer the see through casing, because bic lighters fuel have a habit of evaporating. So you will always know when to change them out. Never forget once the bic is out, it still contains the flint spark, so remove the safety grill on it and it a spark lite shooter.
    Always invest in wax covered cotton calls, super cheap to make and can vastly improve your chance to keep a fire going. They act like mini candles that can last 3min up to 10min depending on how well you coated them.
    Dental floss has a very decent tensile strength. I use it to sow with as well floss and can aid in fishing.
    Your kit reminds me of the SAS tin kit. You did a great job.
    Non lube condoms make great water bladders. Once you get past the thought of what they are.
    Keep a small magnet, for the simple purpose of magnetism, to make your sowing needle into a make shift compass, if you lose you main compass, but avoid having contact with the compass, so do have it in the tin, but maybe on your belt knife.
    Reallybigmonkey made the perfect point in his video. Have a trauma kit and then have a seperate boo boo kit. So when you need to close a wound its all together.
    I keep a water straw and a 1 litre plastic soda bottle and use the soda bottle to store water. An just use the straw to filter from the bottle.

    9:10 Hi Lilly,
    At this point you forgot to mention which model Victorinox you were demonstrating, in case people would like to buy that specific one. Personally, I am partial to the Hercules model.
    One idea you might consider for excellent tinder: cotton make-up remover pads are very useful, cheap and readily available. Just add a small quantity of hand sanitizer gel and rub it in. A single spark from any source will ignite it for a nice hot flame that will last quite a while, to ignite whatever kindling you might have found. 10 such pads in a Zip-loc bag (to keep them dry) take up very little space and weigh almost nothing. Several of these bags distributed in your other kit will give you many effortless fires! Good one on the tea light - a great flame extender for harsh conditions, and they slip in easily under a kindling bundle.
    Nice video and some interesting ideas. Good ideas for the ladies (which we men tend to forget about! Sorry about that.).
    Cheers!

    Dryer lint is fantastic for starting fires and you can flatten it out on the bottom of your container and it will fit. A little goes a long way so be careful. I don’t know if you have WalMart stores in Austria but they sell waterproof/wind proof matches in the hunting and camping section. A small magnifying glass is a good way to start fire as well.
    Styptic powder is used to stop bleeding and I agree with the recommendation of some kind of antibiotic or silver ointment. You could also get a basic belt for yourself to carry the knife or a backup knife in a sheath, and I would recommend bungee cords(you can tie them around you to carry them, but obviously not too tight).
    The only thing I really recommend would be to get a canteen for water because without water, you won’t do well. The canteen doesn’t have to be huge, and you can take one of those bungee cords and use that to carry it as if you were carrying a crossbody bag. A bandanna can also be used to filter water and they even sell bandannas that have a bunch of different “survival guides” printed right onto them. You could carry it by wearing it, of course.
    The essential oils are indeed great for insect repellent but they are also very strong smelling, so I’m not sure if I would personally bring them if you’re trying to remain hidden. They can be smelled from a pretty good distance from where you are. Something for all to consider.
    Lastly, you don’t want to be too clean and you might end up in a situation where you are going to want to spread the surrounding dirt, mud, plants and whatever else over you so you will blend in with your surroundings better.

    Thanks for the great video, lilly. If you want more cordage and less bulk, you could use #36 tarred bank line. It has roughly the same strength as 550 and will last much longer.

    Lily, thank you for all your wonderful videos over the years. Will this type of can withstand the heat required to boil water several times? That was my only concern. I also like to always carry paper towel for it's robustness, and I spary any repellent on the towel and use that to apply to my skin, face and clothing. It also makes the mixture last longer, and the paper can be moistened and used a couple times.I have watched you since you first started many years ago. You are one of my favorites:) Best of luck to you and always remember, fire, water, shelter food. With those four things any human being can survive, thrive and find happiness and contentment:)

    Yep most people don't have their bugout bags on them or in their car, it tends to be in their house which will be inconvenient if you are out the house and an emergency happens like a car breaking down in the snow with little to no battery life left in your phone. Having one of these mini kits in your car or even in a rucksack (if a person cant an advanced full edc) could save them!

    I would like to give you some suggestions to improve your kit.
    1. Get three more safety pins, for a total of four. They can be used to create anchor points for your space blanket. Or, take three, open the pins, use some wire to create a treble hook.
    2. Add the pins and some fishing tackle to the screw top cylinder. There seems to have room. Couple of flies and a jig or micro spin bait.
    3. If you insist on carrying the full size tweezers, then pull the pair from the Swiss Army knife. There’s a company that makes a ferro rod to replace it. The same company also sells a compressed tinder that wraps around the corkscrew.
    4. Add a couple more tampons. You will thank yourself later if you need them. Can also be used to plug deep punctures.
    5. Forgive me if I missed it, but I didn’t see any paper or duct tape.
    6. Transfer your fishing line to a smaller spool, or add more to fill the spool. A lot of wasted space.
    7. I think that you might be able to cram a cheap plastic poncho in there, rubber band one to the kit. Instant shelter for rain.
    Of course, these are just suggestions. Your kit is very well designed. You are very intelligent in your own safety and wellbeing.
    I would also recommend that you put a package of burn cream to your first aid kit, as well as some pain relievers.

    A good kit for a bike, boat etc. Would also be handy to keep in a hunting cabin. Maybe do a cabin kit, not survival persay, but something that can be hidden but will provide food for the weekend, hygene supplies, TP, and whatever else you'd like for a weekend if all the cabin had left after a theft was the bed and stove.

  • @debbiecurtis4021

    Does your Victornox have tweezers? So you could leave out the separate tweezers. If you wear the paracord bracelet, you'll have more room in the tin. Maybe add a couple of small sachets of sugar, or 2 sugar cubes, needle for sewing, two Oxo cubes, and 2 SEVEN OCEANS water rations. They are about 50ml and are in tiny plastic sachets. My bugout kits are like yours. You can use the tin to boil water, cook soup, or even make a small fire in.

    I think survival kits here in America should be classified as interstate, highway type and camping type.
    My reason is that I'm noticing winter storms shutting interstates down, causing motorists to be stranded for long periods of time.
    This seems to be more common .
    Therefore, what would we put in an "interstate" survival kit?
    Cars are out of gas.
    Longer lasting candles for heat. Etc...
    Great videos, keep up the outstanding work!!

      Yeah. She did say that was the thing she would have liked more of. Maybe if the fishing twine was wrapped on a smaller spool, she could fit in another bracelet? Also, I love this kit, but maybe removing the tube that the fishhooks are in and just taping them to the bottom of the tin might save a bit more room. I would definitely add the anti diarrheal as this can be so debilitating in a short time.

  • @mikecorgan
    @mikecorgan 7 місяців тому

    Super glue and a length of tubing might be good additions.
    Super glue for repair and wound sealing. Super glue was developed initially as a first aid battlefield wound repair. Of course, it is also useful to make repairs. Mix with ash to mend plastic.
    Tubing to siphon/drain water or fuel.
    These are items I rarely see if at all in anyone's kit.
    Also, I am interested in adding a bearing into the scales of a knife to use for a bow drill fire starter.

    I have that mini Olight flashlight. Love it! In fact, I bought several of them to keep in mini kits or hang on keychains. It's actually *brighter* than the next size up they claim has more lumens (and is also more expensive, so mad about that purchase).
    I use my mini at work a lot (to look at box labels in low light areas). I attached it to one of those retractable string ID clips. I added a larger keyring at the end to attach the string snap to. I then attach/hang the round metal retractable part to the neck of my shirt or shirt pocket for immediate accessibility. Wearing a headlamp all day would not be comfortable, nor is needed to that degree, so the mini Olight works great.

A small bottle of eye drops and some hard candy, or some orange marker tape cut in strips and a small nail.

  • @dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465
    @dwayneelizondomountaindewh1465 18 днів тому

    I have something like this, in like a bathroom accessory bag, shoved into my backpack.
    I have a lot of interesting things in there, like you have here and a little filet knife and some sharpening stones, mini fishing kit, fire kit, compass, mirror. Some wire, some floss and stuff in there.
    That is a separate from the first aid bag, which is large I figure why not have a really good first aid kit ?, 2-3 pounds for each bag.
    Between those two bags I feel so prepared for whatever happens. It's not about the tools, it's the skills to make do with what you have, like fishing and foraging. If you can actually catch fish, that's perfect for survival because it would be really hard to go hungry for long, you will run out of camp food eventually. I learned when I was a kid to catch bluegills and sunfish all day long, I can usually catch about 20 of em a day, some are actually decent size to eat.
    All I need is a pond that has living fish inside, I can survive as long as I have line, some type of hunting weapon. I want to work on my boomerang toss, as a backup to fishing. Easier to make a boomerang over a bow, easy to throw a boomerang if you learn how, they are actually decent weapons and very easy to carry around. If you hit a rabbit with that, it dies.
    I could always get a smaller first aid kit for smaller trips, but I have one would be good for even large groups, has a lot in there. I ordered that, was quite the order of like 87 things I bought a empty bag, filled it up with goodies, has everything you could want in a first aid kit, basically all I am missing is a chest seal, but has all other mortal situations covered.
    There's more tools that might be useful in there, hemos and tweezers, forceps, scissors. I paid like 220$, but it's the best first aid kit I have seen so far. I have already used in emergencies like removing hooks, stitches. That was definitely the hardest part of my gear setup, putting this bag together took the most time. It's not a ton of money, compared to like a hammock and all accessories cost more than 200$ for a good one.

    I like your kit Lilly what I would add to it is a Faber-Castell Double Hole Metal Pencil Sharpener --- put a stick in and turn for all the tinder you want. I like bright orange or yellow BIC lighters in case I drop it. I made a "kit" out of an MSR Stowaway pot 1.1 liter size. P.S. you may want to add a Fresnel lens and a small tube of triple antibiotic plus pain relief if you can. I also like those Tungsten Carbide garden tool sharpeners it's NOT the best to shapen a knife BUT it works and you can keep a sharp useable edge indefinitely with a little practice. AND 1 of the most important to me is a 🦟mosquito head net to keep the flying insects out of my ears nose eyes & mouth!

    This is the closest to one of my wilderness survival kits that I’ve seen on youtube. Your choices are very solid in that you are organized and favor backpacking-tested or military-tested tools over the “kitchen junk drawer” approach that many youtubers take. I’ve regarded your approach to PSK’s seriously ever since seeing you include a bow string, tiny piece of glue stick and fletching material in your Altoids kit a few years ago. It seems that many youtubers error either too far with the book-doctrine or the “scrounging the house” approach. A compact kit designed to preserve your life should carry the highest quality gear that your wallet can afford. Many guys spend less than one round of drinks at their local watering hole. I’d take your kit into the bush today and procure a functional camp and am confident that you could take mine and do likewise. Anywhere above the equator and below the tundra line.

    In the top of the tin, you should have an extra folded up plastic bag, big enough to hold all the items. Out in the wet wild, you will not have a nice table to hold everything, so a bag to put things in, as you dig down, or need the tin to boil water.

    A sturdy square can made of stainless steel would be better than a tin can. You could then use the container to repeatedly boil water over a fire to make it drinkable. A stainless steel can with a lid can be found in stores that sell kitchen accessories. It may work to heat water in a tin can, but the material is very weak and not intended for this. You could even fry meat in a stainless steel can. And you could transport a small amount of (boiled) water in the stainless steel container with a plastic lid.
    A tin can develops dents over time and tends to rust. An alternative to the stainless steel can is an aluminum can. It would be lighter and you could also boil water in it. There are good lunch boxes for this purpose.
    Your knife is the best one can find in this size. However, if you want to get a stainless steel can of boiling water out of the fire, then a multitool with pliers would be a much better choice.
    Everything else in the can makes sense, but isn't much different from many of the other "ultimate survival kits" shown on UA-cam.

    The ultimate survival knife for a small kit, is for me, a Cold Steel Pocket Bushman. AND a small swiss army knife, maybe a Huntsman.
    The Pocket Bushman is strong enough to chop wood or split wood. The lock is extreme strong.
    When the spine is sharpened, you can use the blade with a fire steel.
    The knife is flat, lightweight, very sharp, easy to sharpen and a workhorse for the money.
