Got hacked on Facebook and finally came back years later. No more meeting of the prepared minds. That group was the best thing that ever happened to some people. I remember Pete Kohler friend requesting me after some good conversations in there before the God like craze for his knives fully set in. So many stories like that. So many peoples business’s grew. So many things Taught and learned. Great to see you back again.
I've no doubt that in no time, you're gonna be back on top of the game Chris. You inspired so many people, and people remember that. PM101 is back with a vengeance!
@@preparedmind101thanks for the Survival gear information. You're a GOOD AMERICAN ! ⚠️You should also include medium thickness rubber gloves. I bought a pair of long sleeve black color rubber gloves from HOME DEPOT. * Person will not need to wash their hands as much when using rubber gloves. The 190 Proof Everclear alcohol is good for sanitizing cuts on a person's skin. It can also be used in a Zippo lighter. I live in Washington State.
Great vid, brings back memories of your older videos and why I started watching this channel. Glad your are rebooting the machine and can't wait for the next content.
Like yourself I’ve been trekking, building kits & wiling away hours on-trail, behind the wheel or otherwise disengaged from what I’m supposed to be doing cuz I’m thinking about survival systems, wilderness tragedies, wartime prisoner escapes & doo dads expertly placed in boxes & bags. It’s a genuine illness and you know it’s near fatal when you have bankers boxes of unopened gear still awaiting its perfect kit. (deep breath) So all that aside here’s my brief analysis. Throw in some instant packet brew-ups, some salt, a big roll of wire & a .22LR semi auto with a shoulder rest “stock”. Maybe a wrist rocket. Beanie. Pair of gloves. Caramel hard candies & Cliff bars in every nook available. Nice build brother. New sub 👍🏼
I was just at Cabela’s and they had this USA made ammo box for $20.00. It is a large box and as you demonstrated in your awesome video, you can fit a lot of survival gear in there! I’m going back to Cabela’s and buying one of the ammo boxes and putting together a kit of my own! Great video! Thanks for sharing brother! Well done!
I have quite a few of these cabelas boxes. It broke my heart when they put the green ones on sale for $10 near Christmas. Didn't stop me from buying a handful. Paid what I paid for 2 back in August. I place a piece of black duct tape in the recess on the top and write a label in silver sharpie.
9:25.. My brother had the exact same looking bag like yours....He said it's a medicine bag for his anxiety disorder... I asked him how it works....He opened it up and rolled out a fatty and smoked it. He was no longer anxious. It worked fast and long time.
Thanks for the shout out, Chris., I appreciate that immensely 😎 I'm also inspired watching yer creative wheels spinning. Think I'll put one of these together . Always fun watching these kit type videos
Chris...it is very good to see you back and making vids...you were the reason I went down this rabbit hole called TH-cam...I was trying to find info on a knife I was looking at buying and was told to look on TH-cam...and my search led me to PM101...Your energy, demeanor and practicality hooked me and kept me around.. I actually managed to score one of the first run JessX...you helped introduce me to new brands and makers... I made a good friend because of a shout-out from you..RIP Rob Ricks The Angry Jackalope....so yes it's very good to see you back
Have you thought about creating a video Chris on caches (stash kits) to stash gear out in the woods. The great thing about caches is you no longer have be concerned about weight and bulk. You could effectively have the equivalent of several 100 litres of caches.
This video takes me back! At some point you stepped it up and did the 5 gallon bucket kit too which i thought was cool because someone sells a framed pack that holds one of those buckets
Awesome video,awesome kit,built this kit soon after watching!! I only changed one thing and added one thing,i went with a headlamp instead of a hand held flashlight and i added an eye glass repair kit for my glasses.
I have added one thing for my car kit. Its one the duffle bags or small back pack that folds into a pocket for traveling. I was able to put a ration in it with a small fire kit with a bic lighter, band aids, alcohol pads, swiss army knife (the waiter) water bag with water tablets, tealight candle. space blanket, plastic poncho. I think it would be nice to put the ammo box in a bag instead of carrying it all of the time. I just put bank line wrapped onto cardboard.
Chris I am thrilled personally speaking with your spiritualism! I think it is the most important things for preparedness for the unforeseen. You're awesome and I love your videos!
Yep, I first heard about it from PM101 and for me it's a great way to have a kit and easy to transport. I don't think I could meet the challenge of 15 mins though. I am to scatter brained to think that fast.
We have 2go system bivy’s and they are a great idea for the box. The last time I used the bivy it saved my sleeping bag from getting wet as I was jammed up against the side of the tent.
I did a bugout bag instead, it's a 5:11 moab I think. I liked it because of the Molly straps, I have a SOG tomahawk on one side and my Tops Skullcrusher on the other. I take it fishing and hiking all the time.
Anyone wanting to include spiritual comfort items in a survival kit, if you're looking to save some weight, or perhaps aren't subscribed to a particular faith, an alternative item may be a locket with photos of loved ones and mementos of personal significance. When I was away for work a few years ago, my 6 year old sent me a homemade bracelet and a hand written letter for father's day. If I was in a survival situation, that bracelet would comfort me and motivate me to go through hell to get back to my family.
kinda hoping you make some budget videos. like $100, $50, and $25 survival kits. This was a good video. Best survival food, in my opinion, is peanut butter. Has more of everything than a pack of those Daytrex survival rations. A normal jar is about the same weight and a lot less expensive. Also has more proteins, and more calories.
Nice kit. You could add a cup that the bottle fits in gives you a second container and takes up no extra space. I would add a whistle,duct tape a tourniquet, gloves and a headlamp.
Ever since the original video, I used an ammo can for a while and I like it so much, I started to use ammo cans in my truck to store all kinds of gear seperated by gear type such as survival, medical, recovery, cover (tarps, tarp clips, and paracord), and vehicle maintenance.
Hey Chris, I quickly scanned the comments and didn't see this so I'm suggesting TP with the core removed and flattened in a zip lock bag, also wet wipes for hygene which is a morale booster.
One of Beautiful Bride's income sources is academic writing which she has worked at for over two decades. There have been times when she was tasked with straightening out someone else's botched-up work She always says, "Make it your own." I agree with that. Customize this basic hit to best fit your operating environment. Many of us will have specialized needs. An eyewear repair kit and a spare pair in the box would be a must-have for me. I would be useless to the family except for instructing others what to do without my glasses. We live in SE Asia and it is now typhoon season as I write this. A super handy item for all members of the family would be the best heavy-duty plastic trashbags you can obtain. If you can find a few orange color bags, they would also double as signal panels if needed. Taking up little space in the kit, HD trash bags will provide something to sleep in or sleep on as well as function as a poncho-rain suit. Staying dry is important, especially if you do not have a change of clothing. The Philippines is primarily a cash-based society. We will always place some cash in our kits as well as some cash hidden on our person. Depending on how far out you are, a local map to find alternate routes may be helpful. Hey, maybe there is room in the box for a small canister of powder, strips of moleskin, and a spare pair of dry sox for those who may have to walk some distance!
My 'survival pack', which has rode in my 1969 Ford F250 4x4 since 1982, after my first 3 year enlistment. 1979 to 1982. I bought that truck in 1978 for $500 and it served me well for my 34 year career. I retired in 2013. I had that pack made at a saddle shop out of 12 oz canvas and latigo leather, modeled after the ALICE pack. In it is a Buck 184 Buckmaster knife. A Wyoming saw that takes down and fits in a leather belt case. An original issue Leatherman. 100 ft of 550 cord. Spool of 600 lb test Bank Line. A four piece Zebco model 4064-8 pack rod and 202 reel. Altoids tin of hooks. A dozen cable snares. A dozen yoyo reels.5 gallon Swiss military heavy rubber water bag. GI mess kit. GI canteens. Trauma kit. Colt woodsman pistol with a brick of Remington ammo and two spare mags. Nine Mountain House pro LRRP rations. Bank bag with fire kit, duct tape, water purification. Another Altoids tin of anti diarrhea pills, ibuprofen, allergy pills. A couple lbs of beef jerky. A few pairs of socks. Strapped to the top is a Cabelas canvas outfitter bedroll with a couple of wool blankets inside it, wrapped in a canvas tarp. It all packs in neatly and is ready to go at under 50 lbs.
Chris ... Great old school basics. The only other additions I would consider are alcohol wipes to go with basic IFAK supplies and for hygiene, spare ammunition (or even a small kit gun), and reading material. A space effective paperback can help with idle time. The ammo box is excellent for storing in a vehicle trunk or ready for grab'n'go.
There are so many better options for a "Grab-and-Go" survival kit than an ammo box. A surplus messenger pouch with over the shoulder strap is much more practical to carry and will hold just as much gear.
Ammo cans are great for packing away supplies. They come in different sizes and are hard plastic or metal. A good addition to your toolbox in the back of your truck. Most of them have a thick rubber seal that actually works pretty well.
maybe a headlamp or different model light that can clip to your hat brim. my small kit is very similar plus a meal replacement bar, a multi-tip charger in case someone else has signal and a different style of phone, and a small camp stove kit and a few corner case odds and ends.
Some more pills to consider carrying: caffeine pills and a B vitamin complex (poor man's energy drink). Benadryl for bug bite and allergies (diphenhydramine doubles up as a sleep aid), pseudoephedrine for opening nasal passages and energy, hydration salt tablets to help with cramping, anti-nausea and anti-diarrhea pills to help with illness from questionable food or water.
I remember watchin the OG survival ammo can, you had the cabelas can I believe, lol an the zombie one for wood, I think the Biolite stove was my first vid of yours I seen. One minor thing I’d do different is exchange the handheld light for a headlamp, I quit buying so many hand held lights an getting cheap but good Energizer, bushnell lights, heck even my husky one from Home Depot works awesome👍🏼
That corona saw works fantastic, when you first showed that in one of your vids I bought one an I still have it an I used the crap out of it good budget saw
That reminds me there's an episode of testing saws of which Corona beat out it's more expensive counterpart Silky. TH-cam channel Project Farm did the video.
Hey Chris ... thanks for the "reboot" of the cool Ammo-Can Clip. But why dance around the "mental survival-items" ? I have a blessed rosary and familiy pictures in my "get home car back" and if push comes to shove these items will provide me a lot of motivation for the trip home. When you put some stuff in to care for your gear, remember the mind is the most important tool ... and so I also put gummybears and chocolate in 😁. Love the new take on the the old idea and you made me think about my selection again. Looking forward to the next Video 🙏👍
Actually 2 things i keep now in all my ifaks is a bottle of tetracaine and a tub of Silvadyne cream for burns... I've unfortunately gotten burned very bad while out in the woods and also have gotten splinters in my eyes....and after those...i now keep them in all my kits!!!!!
My survival kit is for the surface of Moon. What a challenge! I mean I'm closer to Mars at times so go figure. Well! actually not far from Ohio either. Moon Township, PA just south of Mars, PA.
Given the importance of a flashlight, and their small size/weight, my only suggestion would be an extra flashlight. And if you keep 2 of the same one, you have an extra battery, bulb, switch, etc.
@@nandrews8412 there's some great right angle flashlights that come with a headband strap for using as a headlamp. I got a pair of Olight Perun 2 flashlights a few months ago during a sale (one for me and my son) and have been very happy with them. The angled head and pocket clip lets you stick it to the chest strap of a pack, the moonlight mode saves battery, the red LED preserves night vision, it charges with a magnetic end cap from a USB power bank, and the magnetic base lets you stick it to your knife or canteen to position where you want it.
I bought a few 4 pack of Risemart flashlights off Amazon, fairly cheap but they work well and take AAA batteries. A big bonus was the clip, it's a reversible style clip so it can clip on a hat to use like a headlamp. Storing an extra four pack of AAA batteries takes little room too.
Interesting kit build. I always thought in terms of some kind of back pack or duffle bag set up as a "go bag" survival kit. The idea of the one you grab in the shtf on the way out the door. I take it this is more like the "stow it in the vehicle" type of build.
A compact pocket radio (possibly a dynamo) and maybe some fish-hook's and weight's to use with your bank-line for trout lines. I like to attach the big knife and saw to the outside of the container via there sheath's, more than likely going to slap them on your belt first thing any way so why not? And thanks for remembering Jesus! A lot of people don't think enough about thing's like that.
Good information. I like more than one way to start fire. (maybe I missed something) What are you wearing if you have to grab your box and go? Your clothes are your first line of defence. Maybe just a mention as you are going through your box. Extra socks might be nice too.
Chris, it would be highly appreciated if you could possibly start having those Perpared Minds 101 velcro patches made again🙏 Also, what about having some new Perpared Minds 101 branded merch made, like T-shirts ect...🤔 What about creating some t-shirts with the Perpared Minds 101 logo on them, as well as some philosophical quotes😁
Think about adding second skin type product. It seals skin cuts and keeps the cut cleaner than bandaids do. Stings a bit however it works extremely well. Not very expensive
Only one method for starting a fire from you ?? Are you OK. Seriously though you need to add a ferro rod to that kit. Bucs are great but they can fail and they do have a limited life span though those rubber sleeves help a lot. Good to see you back again.
😂 I thought the same thing, I wondered where that big Ferro rod was! It was this guy who got me convinced that the large Ferro rods were the way to go if I needed one.
Even this vid has far more views than the other vids around around it. Less flashlights and knives. More kits and gear = more views, hits and money yeah? I always really enjoyed your OG vids. Prepared Wonderer (your area as well I believe) has mentioned that he knows his kit vids go gangbuster over his others. I get making content you enjoy and care about though. Idk man 🤷🏿♂️
I keep a bottle of tertacaine in my first aid kit!! You can get it from your e.n.t doctor!!! And boy let me tell you!!! NOTHING works better if you get something in your eye that you CAN'T get out for whatever reason... until you get back home or whatever!!!! Nothing wrong with flushing.. but sometimes that doesn't work
@@preparedmind101it's for in case you do get something in your eye that your unable to get out for whatever reason... it numbs the eye so you can continue doing what you were until your able to remove it from your eye.... but it works so amazing one little drop and you'd never know anything was in your eye!!! There eye drops
@@preparedmind101its something I recommend now to everyone because it truly is something I think everyone should have... there's NOTHING worse than getting something in your eye that you can't get out cuz your in the backcountry without a mirror or maybe your by yourself!!!!!
It's always a good idea to have some mosquito spray, but for ticks and such, it's best to be prepared ahead of time, treat your gear with permethrin. That stuff kills all bugs on contact, great on tents, tarps, clothes, footwear, ect, but do not apply it directly on your skin, it's safe on gear that makes contact with your skin though, just don't use it like mosquito spray, lol.
Chris, I was just wondering something🤔 Do you still carry/edc that Microtech Ultratech(Spartan blade) that you had? Can you please make a new pocket dump video showing what you actually carry on yourself on a daily basis🙏
I have a question will the metal ones work just as good I got one of the metal ones that my grandfather give me and I was wondering if that would be good to build a survival kit out of
Metal ones are better imo, they can be rough housed and not break, I've had some plastic ones crack on me just from bouncing around in my truck. If you use the 50 cal ammo cans, what's nice is, you can use an Alice pack frame with the shelf to transport two or three ammo cans on it needed, I think Sootch did a video on that when he did his Alice pack review years ago.
Lol, bird meth has been popular around here since COVID. Every day a different species is on it. At least they aren't starting at 2:50am like they did the last few years.
That's the 50 cal ammo can size. I'd recommend buying those as the 30 cals seem too small in most cases and some items won't fit well because it's narrow.
Got hacked on Facebook and finally came back years later. No more meeting of the prepared minds. That group was the best thing that ever happened to some people. I remember Pete Kohler friend requesting me after some good conversations in there before the God like craze for his knives fully set in. So many stories like that. So many peoples business’s grew.

Great video Chris ! Welcome back! Ill help were i can to help you grow !
Maybe a couple freeze dried meals
Given the importance of a flashlight, and their small size/weight, my only suggestion would be an extra flashlight. And if you keep 2 of the same one, you have an extra battery, bulb, switch, etc.
I'd go with a head lamp as second light for the hands free usefulness.
@@nandrews8412 there's some great right angle flashlights that come with a headband strap for using as a headlamp. I got a pair of Olight Perun 2 flashlights a few months ago during a sale (one for me and my son) and have been very happy with them. The angled head and pocket clip lets you stick it to the chest strap of a pack, the moonlight mode saves battery, the red LED preserves night vision, it charges with a magnetic end cap from a USB power bank, and the magnetic base lets you stick it to your knife or canteen to position where you want it.
I bought a few 4 pack of Risemart flashlights off Amazon, fairly cheap but they work well and take AAA batteries. A big bonus was the clip, it's a reversible style clip so it can clip on a hat to use like a headlamp. Storing an extra four pack of AAA batteries takes little room too.
@@toddk1377 Ooh, I like that. Get a small pack of cheaper lights.
Pretty solid. There's still room for maybe a derringer in .22 mag, with some ammo. Never know when you'll be in a gentleman's duel with a jackalope
Interesting kit build. I always thought in terms of some kind of back pack or duffle bag set up as a "go bag" survival kit. The idea of the one you grab in the shtf on the way out the door. I take it this is more like the "stow it in the vehicle" type of build.
I had my corona saw for over 10 years lots of use. lts out lasted a couple silky saw ive owened over the years
I think a flashlight that uses AA batteries and a rechargeable is best
Add a pair of gloves preferably with a rubber coating to the kit.
Toss in a couple chem-lights
A compact pocket radio (possibly a dynamo) and maybe some fish-hook's and weight's to use with your bank-line for trout lines. I like to attach the big knife and saw to the outside of the container via there sheath's, more than likely going to slap them on your belt first thing any way so why not? And thanks for remembering Jesus! A lot of people don't think enough about thing's like that.
Suburban kit would be useful
I would have added sanitizer. Help if injured and fire extender.
Surthrival is impossible with bird meth.
Bird meth- you killed me with that line.
No fish hooks??
15 minutes.
Hey bud I like your content
I like your comment.
You hold the record for survival kits, when you turned your car into a 300 piece survival kit.
They still make the 'togo' stuff....version 4 out now. $94 though...
Good information. I like more than one way to start fire. (maybe I missed something) What are you wearing if you have to grab your box and go? Your clothes are your first line of defence. Maybe just a mention as you are going through your box. Extra socks might be nice too.
Chris, it would be highly appreciated if you could possibly start having those Perpared Minds 101 velcro patches made again🙏 Also, what about having some new Perpared Minds 101 branded merch made, like T-shirts ect...🤔 What about creating some t-shirts with the Perpared Minds 101 logo on them, as well as some philosophical quotes😁
Think about adding second skin type product. It seals skin cuts and keeps the cut cleaner than bandaids do. Stings a bit however it works extremely well. Not very expensive
Bird Meth is the best Meth.
3 knives and 1 lighter put a pack of lighters in it. And wet fire tinder
👍🏻👍🏻
Only one method for starting a fire from you ?? Are you OK. Seriously though you need to add a ferro rod to that kit. Bucs are great but they can fail and they do have a limited life span though those rubber sleeves help a lot. Good to see you back again.
I actually thought I put one in there. Again... Time challenge.
😂 I thought the same thing, I wondered where that big Ferro rod was! It was this guy who got me convinced that the large Ferro rods were the way to go if I needed one.
9:21 For when Chris has to bug out through Boston Ohio
Cool.!
Even this vid has far more views than the other vids around around it. Less flashlights and knives. More kits and gear = more views, hits and money yeah? I always really enjoyed your OG vids. Prepared Wonderer (your area as well I believe) has mentioned that he knows his kit vids go gangbuster over his others. I get making content you enjoy and care about though. Idk man 🤷🏿♂️
Chris, does this ammo can have a rubber seal in the lid to make it water proof?
I wouldn't say water PROOF. Water resistant. It's not a Pelican case or anything. And yes.
I keep a bottle of tertacaine in my first aid kit!! You can get it from your e.n.t doctor!!! And boy let me tell you!!! NOTHING works better if you get something in your eye that you CAN'T get out for whatever reason... until you get back home or whatever!!!! Nothing wrong with flushing.. but sometimes that doesn't work
What is that?
@@preparedmind101it's for in case you do get something in your eye that your unable to get out for whatever reason... it numbs the eye so you can continue doing what you were until your able to remove it from your eye.... but it works so amazing one little drop and you'd never know anything was in your eye!!! There eye drops
@@preparedmind101its something I recommend now to everyone because it truly is something I think everyone should have... there's NOTHING worse than getting something in your eye that you can't get out cuz your in the backcountry without a mirror or maybe your by yourself!!!!!
Chris, in the further it would be highly appreciated if you didn't put the Perpared Minds 101 logo in the corner of your videos👍
Comments+1
Something to repel ticks might be a good idea especially in Ohio.
Ticks are afraid of me. Won't even get on me.
It's always a good idea to have some mosquito spray, but for ticks and such, it's best to be prepared ahead of time, treat your gear with permethrin. That stuff kills all bugs on contact, great on tents, tarps, clothes, footwear, ect, but do not apply it directly on your skin, it's safe on gear that makes contact with your skin though, just don't use it like mosquito spray, lol.
Bird meth LMAO Chris good one
Chris, I was just wondering something🤔 Do you still carry/edc that Microtech Ultratech(Spartan blade) that you had? Can you please make a new pocket dump video showing what you actually carry on yourself on a daily basis🙏
Don't have it anymore
Nice kit. Hope your channel gets lots of appreciation. Always liked your content. Your knife designs too.
I have a question will the metal ones work just as good I got one of the metal ones that my grandfather give me and I was wondering if that would be good to build a survival kit out of
You could. Bigger the better.
Metal ones are better imo, they can be rough housed and not break, I've had some plastic ones crack on me just from bouncing around in my truck. If you use the 50 cal ammo cans, what's nice is, you can use an Alice pack frame with the shelf to transport two or three ammo cans on it needed, I think Sootch did a video on that when he did his Alice pack review years ago.
I wanna see the 24 hours version now instead of the 15 min thought
Lol, bird meth has been popular around here since COVID. Every day a different species is on it. At least they aren't starting at 2:50am like they did the last few years.
“Its name looks like a cat walked over a keyboard “ funniest description ever 😂
So did I miss what size can this is???
I got it at Cabela's
@@preparedmind101 Thanks! But is it a 30 cal or a 50 cal or bigger?
I'll look at Cabela's.
That's the 50 cal ammo can size. I'd recommend buying those as the 30 cals seem too small in most cases and some items won't fit well because it's narrow.
