- Your survival depends on your ability to prepare, and beyond all the things you do to prepare your home or your vehicle for dire situations, you can't just pray and hope that those situations catch you at your well-prepared home or with a full tank of gas, nor is it feasible to have a cumbersome EDC.
That's where a survival pack can come in to save the day and your hide. In this video, Jason shows what he keeps in his pack at any and all times to maximize his survival chances. And while you could and should add to it, there are just some things you shouldn't leave behind.
Mesh bag, simple ideas are nearly always the best ideas👍
I love me a cedar tree..your "kit" looks perfect, I would add a bit more food for me and a poncho liner, a woobie. Maybe a spare compass..and extra socks..gotta keep your feet happy..
I might consider swapping the down jacket for a woobie and spare socks is definitely a good call.
Lightweight, simple, great kit. Favorite tree - either black walnut or cedar.
Nice kit. Don't need a full Camping And load out for the random emergency. I love a payday
like the min pak you use, hardly any waste but yet works
Favorite footwear Merrell Moab 2.
I'm always trying to make a super light go back, but then I see more room in the pack and start adding things...One of these days I'm going to do the 10 item challenge to force myself to go light! Nice video. My favorite tree is the shag bark hickory. Love those nuts!
you and Alan K are my favorite
Awe shucks! Thanks!
Your kit is good. 👍
I would recommend a mylar space blanket, a Leatherman multitool, small roll of duck tape, with the cardboard roll removed about 20ft or 10 wraps on a credit card or other plastic card, a small first-aid kit & a few medications, like Amodium AD, Benadryl and a pain reliever of your choice. I keep a travel size bottle that Tylenol comes in that you can buy at the gas station. It looks like a chapstick tube. I keep 2-3 doses of those 3 meds in the bottle. That takes care of diarrhea, allergic reactions, pain & the first-aid kit, with a few bandaids, alcohol prep pads, sting relief pads & a sterile single use 3-0 curved nylon sutures pack.
The first-aid kit is nothing big just 6 bandaids, 4 alcohol prep pads, 2 sting relief pads & a sterile single use 3-0 curved nylon sutures pack, plus the meds in the bottle. That's the whole first-aid kit. No bigger than a deck of cards.
The mylar space blanket can be used to stay warm, shelter from rain, wind, used to catch rain or morning dew, signal a plane or a vehicle from a distance. Giving you a reflective surface.
Duck tape is useful for almost everything you can think of.
The Leatherman multitool is a All-in-one tool that is very useful for many different things, you might encounter.
Those are the only things I would add to your kit. It depends on what your EDC consists of, whether or not to add the Leatherman multitool. The suture pack is again optional. Not everyone is capable of stiching a open wound up on themselves or have the knowledge of using them, especially in a emergency situation with no lidocaine to numb the wound. It depends on your skill set and the ability to get to a Dr in an emergency situation. Most people will probably Not include the sutures. I DO.
Great information! Thanks! BTW:favorite tree - western red cedar; teal favorite color 😊
Good, based, video. I my opinion. Unlike so many 'expert preppers' that have everything but the kitchen sink. They never strap up and pace out with it. I never considered carrying my EDC/INCH/SRB/(other names I don't know) bag on my MC. Car, PU, SUV or bicycle OK but never on my MC. I could live with your build.
Favourite tree is deffinatly silver birch 👍😎💪🇬🇧🌲🌳🌲🌳
Amazing coverage for many situations in one bag! I would trade the Payday bar for a couple ounces of nuts and a baggy of freeze dried veggies more nutrient dense freeze dried foods are extremely light.
Favorite move: galaxy quest.
Sawyer mini water filter is far more versatile, you can fill your water bottle with it, drink directly from source ie puddle, nook in tree.
Quick suggestion for your bottle filter (or any water bottle), tape a loop of paracord (loop upwards) use Gaffa tape (can never have to much Gaffa) the loop makes it easier to fill especially if bank is slick or steep, either use finger through loop, or add a length of paracord if it’s hard to reach👍
I could make do with that, but I usually have grandkids in tow, so bandaids. A kiss and a bandaid does a lot toward soothing a child with an owie!
BTW: I don't recall you mentioning a first aid kit. I won't leave home without one.
Love the content!
Thanks!
Always have to go with a pine tree and have you ever though of using the Swagman roll with you're poncho?
I don’t have any experience with the swagman roll. Looks bulky.
See ya on the next one
I guess your fixed blade is already EDC? Good content. The first rule of survival is don't get lost so I would add a simple compass. Second is if you do get lost or hurt have a way to signal for help so I would add a whistle. Third is some very simple first aid kit with some prescription (if you need that) and/or over the counter medication.
Yep. Always a Leatherman in my pocket and normally a fixed blade on my belt. I do have a simple compass/thermometer that will help me with basic directions. Signal mirror and whistle are in my belt, tourniquet in my pocket. Many times I’ve cut up that big cloth and used duct tape for bandages. Thanks so much for the feedback.
@@ONThree That's what I guessed indeed. Some items always on the person and some additional ones in your bag.
Try the wilderness innovations poncho, it has channeled ends and can become a hammock or a bush chair I always cary one , i would add a sleeping pad maybe the small ones like a kylmit one small and comfy and warm in a hammock or on the ground, also the helicontex swagman roll great as a poncho liner or to sleep in , or as a under-quilt for a hammock, Can you tell i am from a colder climate Hahaha
Cool
More food...
There is room for that if I feel the need.
I didn't see first aid? and form of blade.
Leatherman in my pocket, fixed blade on my belt, and small ceramic knife in my belt. I keep a tourniquet in my pocket and have used the big cotton cloths and duct tape for bandages several times.
Thank you for your reply. I to carry the Leatherman wave. I did like the fact you carry a multi prepose cotton cloth. I have never thought about it and it makes perfect since and have added it to my pack. Stay safe and remember the greatest survival tool in your pack is you!
