I am building a set of three identical, very extensive survival/first aid kits for my relatives. Your reviews have helped a lot in determining contents and layout...thanks!
I built emergency kits for my kids' cars, and plan to make sure there is a cat 7 tourniquet in everyone's center console or glove box. All keychains have a glass break and seatbelt cutter
Most of this can be recreated when stuff goes on sale. The snare wire can easily be obtained from guitar string. Keep the coiled ends and do not use the eyelets, they are the weakest point. Black pepper is a lot more effevtive than bandaids in most cases and has antibacterial properties. Plus gives you something to season with.
@@ragamuffin1588 yes I have. On a personal basis. 2 dog bites and multiple cuts. It works. And it even alleviates pain simular to most pain relievers on the shelf in most cases. If you would flush or treat with alchohol before bandaging then do the same.
I believe the L-hooks are in that packet to make a simple reel to use with the the eye screws and a wooden pole. You screw them in close to the end facing opposite and wind the line between them.
Good little kit, I would consider putting in a couple of Esse arrow heads for spear fishing. Thank you for your videos. I really like the Esse survival kit one. We can’t buy them here where I live and Esse can’t send them either.
Kitbashed Survival Uploads a New Video.... Hell to the Yes!!! Thanks for the unboxing. Cheers 🍺 Just be aware, in a lot of States, using a Yo-Yo Reel is not exactly Legal. The same thing with Bank (Trot) Line Fishing. The Gist of it is they want you leaving your equipment unattended. However, in a survival situation, they can take their regulations and well... You know the rest😎
@@canbee1252 It's illegal in CA (Go figure) Same with a static "Trot Line" I don't know about where you are? Check your Local regulations. In an Emergency I would use it. Like say in a Survival Kit/ Bag maybe. Even then, it wouldn't be my first choice over several static (Trot) Lines.
I've seen a very similar kit like this from Ready Hour, most of the components may be almost identical except in quantity.. The "L" screws are part of the rudimentary fishing pole: you can screw them into the pole facing opposite directions near the handle, and wrap your fishing line around them as a sort of primitive reel. That's a LOT of stuff in that kit for just an emergency fishing/hunting kit! It's practically enough to form the basis of your first fishing tackle box... in fact, I dare say that has a LOT more stuff in it than my first fishing tackle box: give this kit plus an empty tackle box as a gift to a beginner fisherman, perhaps?
I like the multitool idea. If you stick yourself with a hook, you might need to wire cutter or knife to get it out. I would also add the band-aids and an iodine prep pad or two in a waterproof bag. First survival fishing kit I've seen with it. I also like the yo-yo reel. If you're in a survival situation, you have a lot of other things to do beside fish.
For those on a budget that Keychain plier multi tool is awesome I have one on my key ring and it's survived me well in several tight spots when I didn't have my more expensive multi-tool on me.
Some vacuumsealed earthworms from Berkely GULP!, and some trout paste-bait from the same producer, would be nice. Overall: a good video. Thank You, sir!😀👍
One of the uses for those zip ties would he to help keep the bands on a Y stick for the sling shot kit. Or another idea is if you need cordage you can use you're shoe laces and then use the zip ties to keep your shoe's on you tight. Definitely a great addictive to any survival bag.
You helped inspire me to do my videos in part but I watch your videos and imagine testing my stuff in the rough but I really don't have anyone to go camping with especially that would be down for me testing my stuff out
I would definitely replace the multitool with a Leatherman Squirt or Gerber Dime and also a way to make fire would have easily fit in the bag. Because can you ever have too many matches or tinder?
Not bad for the price and size. Personally I don't see why anyone would use monofilament line circa 2020, except that it's the cheapest option I suppose. For the size of the kit you could certainly ditch it and get some good braided line in kevlar, uhmwpe, etc. Some Fireline or Spiderwire would be stronger, thinner, more abrasion resistant take less of a set/kink. But overall not bad!
Honestly in my experience it's not just the quality that sucks with this tool, it's the overall design. I had one, and the handles like to fold on you.
Needs some metal nails (many uses including making a spear and traps), a wooden rat trap (perfect for squirrel), treble hooks, a pack of 50 .22lr bullets, and more skinning/preparing items like gloves
These off grid kits are pretty good. The $30.00 price point is great. This looks like a nice little kit but I hate that they advertise 127 pieces and 115 of them are hooks, swivels,and sinkers. Unfortunately that is how marketing works but I would by it at that price
I don't think the YoYo reel actually reels the fish in, when a fish goes for the bait the reel sets the hook in its mouth.Unless the fish is really small there's not enough spring tension to reel it in. Still a decent item to include in this kit. Thanks for the review.
If you ever want to get into slingshot shooting, Simple Shot makes some of the best and they have a lot of instructional videos on TH-cam. I have 5 of their slingshots and they are fun and acurate. And nowadays they make packed clay/dirt and plastic ammo to practice with.
Wish I could get one, but can't FEMA still hasn't helped with everything lost during Hurricane Laura in August Cameron, Louisiana I'm still living in Pollok, Texas with Family
They are also useful for splinter removal, can be bent to a 90 to use for fishing rod guides, can help hold clothes together if you get a rip, and many other uses. Why WOULDN'T they be included?
I've seen other reviews that you've done and, I'm sorry, but this one just isn't up to par. I know you know better than this.Your words, "and we have 5 safety pins. And always good to have those, too". Please explain why, in a fishing/hunting kit. What are the zip ties for? I think most subsistence fisherman, and I'm certain that ALL survivalist, would trade those swivels for an equal number of hooks, any day of the week. A swivel is a convenience item and totally unneeded in a survival scenario. Surgical tubing slingshot bands suck and if you don't understand that, you shouldn't review fishing/hunting kits that have slingshot bands as their only actual hunting component. Snaring isn't hunting, BTW. I, and I think others that follow you, would like to see you DEMONSTRATE why you think that $3 multi-tool "will probably be okay". Will it cut the snare wire? As you said the pliers are the main tool, but all the other tools have no use at all in the context of this "themed" kit. Furthermore, if you make the swap-out from the included tool to a Micra, as you recommended, you just doubled the price of the kit and threw part of the original kit away. Where is the value in that? 7/11/2021, Speed Hooks, $3.50 each, YoYos, $5.00 each on Amazon and the Speed Hooks are much lighter and take up less room. 20 FEET of 50# line and 100 YARDS of 8# test line is like Bizarro World backwards for any survivalist. The formula, at its simplest is, Lots of heavy line to reach the water and enough light line to make short semi-invisible leaders and package it as small as possible. I recognize the 8# test as a much bigger than necessary spool that is sold in Meijer stores for about a buck and a half. I think it is pathetic that this kit counts every sinker, hook, swivel, ball bearing, safety pin, eye ring, L hook, etc as a "piece" of the kit and your positive endorsement just smells "fishy" to me.
Kit in itself is a joke. 6 six ball bearings...better be a squirrel sniper with a slingshot, if you can make one (Hint....it takes lots of practice, even if you can find the right kind of branch for). No decent cutting tool; multi-tool is garbage, and its sheath is garbage. Derma-Safe knife is an adequate cutting tool, but there are far better choices.
If you truly fish and/or hunt I would have to say you could do a lot better for less using tackle you already have. I would like to see a real life review of these items, that would be a whole lot more informative than this video was.

@@dontneedtoknow5836 I see.
Great review! The yoyo also works well for snares. I would have liked to see fire elements included. You need to cook those fish or that bunny
I laughed at the "multi tool" but the addition of the yoyo reel is fantastic. The yoyo reel also brings the $30 price to be more reasonable.
You can get yo yo reels for 3-4 dollars.
A Gerber Dime would be a good inexpensive replacement for that other multitool.
instablaster.

The slingshot can be hooked with your feet while seated or lying down. Fire from between your legs with surprising power and accuracy.
Good job. You closed with a great message.
Good addition to the kit would be a hunting card that has arrow heads and 1 with extra hooks

MULTITOOL: something like this is gonna come in..... REEL handy!
oh. i see what you did there.
Sanford Outdoor is the same company that makes the BOSS kits.
I would definitely replace the multitool with a Leatherman Squirt or Gerber Dime and also a way to make fire would have easily fit in the bag. Because can you ever have too many matches or tinder?
Yo-yo reel looks neat. I’d definitely include suitable screws to mount it on a stick, plus suitable rod guides to make a decent rod.
Decent fishing kit but a little lacking on the hunting side . I would add a gig and some arrowheads or maybe even a spear head if space allows .
Not bad for the price and size. Personally I don't see why anyone would use monofilament line circa 2020, except that it's the cheapest option I suppose.

Great review, not to keen on the multi-tool but love the yoyo reel, I would just add some fire elements or put it with a kit that has fire elements.
Cool lil module👍
They make BOSS kits now also worth shopping for
Honestly in my experience it's not just the quality that sucks with this tool, it's the overall design.
I had one, and the handles like to fold on you.
All there boss kits are amazing the bundle pack comes with all of them for 189 bucks good deal
That's funny because I just ordered 6 yo-yo reels and they're on the way now to my house.. Lol
Needs some metal nails (many uses including making a spear and traps), a wooden rat trap (perfect for squirrel), treble hooks, a pack of 50 .22lr bullets, and more skinning/preparing items like gloves
Thank you for sharing brother
you can also add a small vial with iodine if you tend to have easily accidents with hooks or blades ;)
small packets of antibiotic cream (not ointment) and the bandaids be infused with the cream
These off grid kits are pretty good. The $30.00 price point is great. This looks like a nice little kit but I hate that they advertise 127 pieces and 115 of them are hooks, swivels,and sinkers. Unfortunately that is how marketing works but I would by it at that price
A Derma safe for skinning eh?
thank you for sharing 🌲🌲🌲🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌🎅
Me personally I would try to add a couple more floats
So it is Stanford supply. They renamed these kits, they used to be b.o.s.s. kits. They are very nice kits.
Yep

Sad to say I live in Scotland my age 69 yr never caught a fish in my life always wanted to
yoyo reel does it work
Yes, it sets the hook and also plays the fish so it can't snap the line (attaching to a springy branch also helps with this)
After cleaning out his backpack, he only had 34 derma-safe razors. No, sorry, 35. Forgot about the one in the emergency basket weaving kit.
I mypad is not finding the off grid tools web page
This is worth the price for 30 bucks
Something to start fire also
3:58
Probably for leaders.
My yo-yo reels don't reel in the fish, they set the hook
Yeah, if it's a small fish it'll reel it all the way in. If it's larger fish it'll just set the hook.
Never could understand why survival kits have safety pins. Cheap and expensive kits have them
Temporary clothing repair, and can assist securing cloth bandages/slings.
They are also useful for splinter removal, can be bent to a 90 to use for fishing rod guides, can help hold clothes together if you get a rip, and many other uses. Why WOULDN'T they be included?
the " L " and eyes are to make a fishing rod L's are for real..
1:57 that’s not good for much more than a roach clip.
A slingshot! Seriously? Oh with 6 ball bearings well that makes all the difference. FFS

@@joshs199my point is not to carry a tackle box, simply put together your own kit with what you have. A lost concept today these days.
