    There - fixed it.
    I have to add this - 14:20
    When they have to tell you situations in which you can use the product, then it is not worth buying.
    Example: You can use it when eating, drinking, swallowing, brushing teeth, flossing, gargling, playing video games, watching TV, talking to a friend, texting, . . .
    When they fell they need to do that to sell their product, then I'd recommend staying away from it. SMH

      You hook it up to a trip wire. When someone (or presumably large enough animal) enters your camp it’ll pull that pin and make a loud bang, scaring the intruder. It’s common to use a .410 shotgun shell primer or .22 blank to make the noise.

      @@Eidolon1andOnly The shears are only truly useful if you're a sniper, to cut branches without shaking the trees for example. Snipers actually carry a shear for such purposes. Still, a simple knife and a small saw would solve all your cutting needs. I used to think an axe is needed but unless you're chopping down trees to build a house, you don't need it. A saw can do pretty much everything (Silky Saw Tomboy).

    • @Eidolon1andOnly
      @Eidolon1andOnly Рік тому +1

      @@MrDosonhai The shears seemed like they were designed specifically for EMTs or first responders since they're shown specifically performing first aid and medical tasks. I doubt they'd be good for cutting wood. I agree that a good saw is important to have, especially a Silky. Hatchets are incredibly versatile, but a bit heavy to carry. Saw can complete most tasks a hatchet would normally do. The plasma lighter is good for being windproof and single hand ignition, but it wouldn't be the only the firestarter I'd rely on or carry. As soon as it runs out of battery power it's useless in a survival situation. Even a disposable cigarette lighter can still throw sparks and start a fire, even when it's run out of fuel.

Phoenix Survival Tool is $40 for a Ferrocerium rod and striker and cheap touch. As far as the fire stick you can make your own with cotton wool, petroleum Jelly and some people you a little of the oil used in those outdoor torches. As far as Pure Flame mini it's a $150 are you going to be outdoors enough to justify the price or can you get away with a couple of cheap power banks and a waterproof container.

    If someone can only survive with these kinds of toys, then that guy is already dead anyway, because he will NOT survive with these fancy fancy toys either, because a situation will occur soon anyway where he will not have the special necessary high-tech stuff, and then he will die.
    What you must pack in your BOB, because it is the most useful survival stuff, is KNOWLEDGE, and the BOB in which you must pack this is your own head!
    Furthermore, according to my experience, the tools that can be used for multiple purposes cannot perform a single task perfectly. None of them! That being said, I also have maybe three or four multitools, but I bought them just for curiosity, for fun, and I DON'T CONSIDER THEM AS SURVIVAL TOOLS! They're just some kind of fancy "playing toys". They're good for, say, having something like this in my pocket if I suddenly want to peel an apple or cut off a broken nail, okay. But for a SURVIVAL TOOL?! Ridiculous! A serious situation requires a serious tool. Something that can only do ONE function, but that PERFECTLY, and is robust, durable, and most importantly: you don't need to CHARGE it through a USB port or anything, because it works forever anyway! (Or if not forever but at least years long, for example a big ferrorod).
    And I don't need a special firestarter stick or anything like that, rather I learned how to start a fire without it, from naturally occurring materials.

    I'd say I'm one of those men but, I can't honestly see why those tools in that list can't be for women as well.
    As for those that identify as rainbow flag wavers, I have no idea what kind of tools they would carry nor would I be able to even guess at which part of a two person couple would be carrying the manly stuff..

    Why would someone spend hundreds for this trash?
    These things make survival magnitudes more difficult and complicated, so it would be better to use the traditional tools, like a multi-tool, knife, hatchet, and a fire rod. The rest isn't even for survival.
    I wouldn't use these things, even if they were given to me.
