Outstanding kit. It's cool to see someone else who thinks along the same lines as you do. You have definitely given me some cool ideas for my kit. The concept of lunch box container is absolutely brilliant. I love the how compact it is and yet able to incorporate the 10 c's. Great job!!! I look forward to your next video
This is the start of a decent kit, but it needs a way to carry it like a fanny pack or a pouch. Would also benefit from a fixed blade, folding saw, and/or a hatchet.
I spend way too much time on TH-cam watching videos like this one. Most are just copies of other videos and their included ideas. Gotta look a lot to find somethin' new. I found it here, I'm happy to say! This is a pretty damn good kit you've put together and you showed the contents without a whole lot of extraneous comments and other assorted crap. Saw several things that I haven't seen on other videos and that's getting harder to do, the more of these that I watch. Good job and a definite thumbs up from me!
Best kit I’ve seen you present. Couple +’s : Rx pain meds Coughlan’s mosquito head net arrow head glue stick bow string brass wire. laser pen (signaling)
I suggest a length of plastic tube to act as a straw. Moving and pouring boiled and cooled water may disturb any sediment that collects. Use a straw to drink straight from the metal container without disturbing the crud in the bottom of the tin. If it’s a 7 day kit you need at least 20 water purifying tabs. A length of strong brass wire is good for binding/lashings and repairing boots, straps, etc. Not sure about a leather man and a folding knife. Birthday candles are compact, light and burn for about 10-15 mins each. Maybe ditch one Mylar blanket for one of those disposable rain ponchos. Keeping dry is a top priority. You can die from exposure in a few hours
What I do is use heavy duty tin foil pressed inside the tin to form a ‘second skin’ so when you need to use the mess tin the contents can be lifted out whole and undisturbed and safe from loss,then simply placed back in afterwards.Secondary use - with care it’s possible to form the shape so it holds water as a sort of ‘cup’.
Neat 👍 Add a silky pocketboy blade,it’s very light weight and sits flat,.With care it can be gripped using a piece of leather or cloth.It is 20 times better than the VICTORINOX saw.
Awesome kit! I have a couple of those same bento/lunch boxes for the same purpose. They're a little heavier than the aluminum ones from ESEE or Best Glide but they'll hold up to high heat a lot better. Overall great stuff.
Nice kit, well thought out. I like the lunch box. One thought - add a ziploc or nylon bag to hold all that stuff when you have to take it out to use the container for cooking. I guess you could bundle it up in the bandana.
Great idea. My thought was initially to just wrap everything up in the cotton bandana and tie off the top, kind of like a hobo sack. Having several options would be ideal.
I'd give it a similar rating, but maybe a 7.5 out of 10. Which to me is still very high. Most kits I've seen on TH-cam that people put together are maybe a 6 at most.
Awesome kit! Well done! You provided some really good ideas for my survival kits. I do like the container…very nice! Appears the latches provide a tight water resistant seal. Personally, I would make few changes to the kit, but one thing I would remove is the lock pick kit…not much room for that out in the boonies, right! In an urban Setting, yes, but out in the woods, don’t think so. Also, i would switch out those Mylar blankets for SOL Heatsheets. Much more durable and quiet too. Your FAK is good…maybe add some alcohol and providing-iodine prep pads and some more pain allergy and diarrhea meds. Love Wazoo and Survival Resources for survival gear. Just a few things off the top of my head to think about. No criticism meant about your choices Bro. Good all around kit! Looking forward to future vids! I did sub too! Thanks!
Overall, a great kit. You've got the basics covered. There's a lot I like, but here are some thoughts I had while watching... That's a big box, too big for the average cargo pocket. In my opinion, the idea of a "survival kit" is to always have it on your person, so if you're separated from your main kit, you have the basics at least. I would figure out a way to either get it comfortably in a pocket, or hang it on your belt. You've got a lot of room in that box...you should have a solid fixed blade knife in there. And choose either the Skeletool or the SAK; carrying both seems redundant to me. I carry a 6" CKRT minimalist fixed blade and a Victorinox Farmer-X (awl, saw, scissors). Your med kit needs a few more basic meds, like pain relief - ibuprofen or acetaminophen - and an anti-diarrheal like loperamide. If your doctor will cooperate, he/she can prescribe a good antibiotic to carry when you embark on a trip. It can be a life saver. Naturally, training in backcountry first aid is imperative. I carry my lighters in a hard case (Exotac) to prevent fuel loss. They currently only make a case for the full size Bics, though. I'd like to point out that the lock pick set does NOT contain a "saw"...that is a style of lock pick called a "rake". Watch some TH-cam videos, and get some random lock cylinders and get some practice. Then try not to get arrested or shot for opening shit you shouldn't be opening. And that handcuff key will do you zero good if it's in your kit. Duct tape it to the inside of your belt, or sew it into your clothing. F-r-e-s-n-e-l is pronounced "fray-NEL". It's French. Augustin-Jean Fresnel was a French physicist that invented the lens type in the early 19th century, for use in lighthouses. I have one made of acrylic that is my #1 go-to for fire starting, in adequate sunlight. While the Potable Aqua tabs are a decent purification option, remember that they take 4 hours to work. Also, I would be very leery of hanging any plastic bag over embers, regardless of what the manufacturer says. I use WhirlPak bags for storage, and a combination of Aquamira tablets (30 mins, kills bacteria and viruses) and a Frontier filter straw (eliminates cysts) for purification. I carry a beefy 6" X 3/8" ferro rod. Why fuck around? If I can't get a flame with the Fresnel, I get one 99% of the time with the ferro. The lighter, matches and man-made tinder I carry are for when natural tinder is scarce or too wet. The Coghlan mirror would not be my choice. The item you displayed is a camp mirror, not a signal mirror. Could it be used? Sure, but there are better choices. I keep a StarFlash mini in all my kits. The aiming hole is crucial for hitting your target accurately. So there you have it...just some random ideas. If even one thing I say makes any sense to you or anyone else, I'm glad. Good luck to you, Sir! Keep on the sunny side of the street, and keep on keepin' on...
@G. Victor Paulson I agree with everything you said, even said similar about the handcuff key, but I will defend the inclusion of a lockpick just for things like breaking into a uninhabited cabin, shed, or utility building to get out of the cold without compromising a door frame or window. I'd also like to add to your points that all the signaling and navigation devices, including rhe trail marking tape should be kept up top and at the ready. Better to be able to quickly and efficiently access those items and signal for rescue or navigate and self rescue than rely on the items of this kit to survive. Search and rescue efforts are most extensive during the 72 hours after a missing report is first filed. At the size of this kit I also don't see any reason not to use a full sized Bic lighter either. I'll also say that given the size of this kit, it would be better as a vehicle's survival kit, because of its bulk it wouldn't be very comfortable wearing on a belt for even a day hike. Redunancy is actually a decent thing as the old motto is something like "one is none and two is one". Great point about the aquatabs and length of time it takes to pyrify water. This mess tin is large enough to fit a small lifestraw. Given the choice of items in this kit, it seems to be having a bit of an identity crisis and tries to be a wilderness survival kit as well as an escape and evasion kit. There seems to be little to nothing in the way of food procurement, which isn't too bad, but things like snare wire, a bow string, or even surgical tubing to make a sling shot aren't too bulky, and will give an edge as well as add to cordage in a pinch. Fishing line too. Even fishing hooks can be repurposed for diffent uses. Seen someone straigten one out to use as a sewing needle on an episode of Alone, and I've actually used them as makeshift safety pins. Although the human body can withstand weeks without food, even a few days of hunger can cloud judgement. There's also not a very good saw. Even those silly wire saws can be made more effective by making them into a bow saw, and even a real bow saw blade can be bent to fit into this tin and flattened straight again. Saw one person actually include a 24" bow saw blade in an Altoids tin!. Speaking of Altoids tins, one of the tins could have been fit into this kit to both organize all the fire starting material, keep the bic lighter from being depressed and losing fuel, and aid in processing char cloth. I think one thing that most people overlook is not just what's in a kit, but how it's organized. Signalling/navigation and first aid should be the most readily accessible, followed by water and shelter items, then fire and food items. With a little overlap here and there. On a personal note, and bear with me, I'm going to gripe about the whole *gimmick* of Escape & Evasion kits since more times than not, the vast majority of people will never be placed into a scenario where they need to escape a d/or evade Really the only ones who need to worry about this are military, mercenaries, and people in shady business. Even the chances of being cuffed by someone other than law enforcement are pretty slim outside of these professions.
I came to the same conclusion of using a none painted, quality stainless steel lunch box. I saw people use random cheap tins to cook and eat from.. well, I'm not gonna try and experiment with that myself. I can only speak for myself, and this is what I'm comfortable with using.
Great, but have you tried to open some of those tiny press closure bags with frozen and wet fingers? Impossible. Ditch some of the bags and save a bit of space. Maybe add a couple of boiled sugar sweets to make an emergency fruit energy drink, or a couple of sachets of powdered rehydration salts drinks? Some excellent bits in the kit though.
Great kit it’s really nice but I think you should have your handcuff key on the top of the kit so IF and I hope you don’t need too you had to use it you wouldn’t waste time going threw the kit
anti diarrhea meds and pepto bismo pills are highly recommended. Even drinking treated water can upset your stomach not to mention the stress can also cause upset stomach.
May be an odd question but why do you buy 2in sections of gorilla tape from this survival store as opposed to buying a roll and just cutting 2in sections yourself? I couldn’t imagine that it’s very cost efficient to buy pre cut tape but I could be wrong sense I’m not researching it myself and just being lazy asking here ha
This is just something I put together with the gear I already had. I pinned the inventory list, and I'll be creating some Amazon public wish lists with for each kit soon.
Hello young man, please do not take this as a slam against your video. I say the same thing to every emergency video I watch, and there are a buttload of them. You say the kit is a seven day kit. How do you determine that? Select a safe place of your choosing, away from any and all humane contact and have a friend drop you off with that kit for seven days. When you get back, make another video with that same kit and give a report on how well it worked out for you. I spent 34 years in the Marine Corps. I know a little about survival. I am not saying the kit is a FUBAR. I am not saying you are not capable of surviving in a survival situation. What I am saying is that you could be one of the first youtubers to prove what you are proposing. If not for any reason except to yourself. If you did that you would be one of the most rare videos on youtube, and I would think you would have one of the best watched videos on youtube if your tagline was "I actually used my emergency kit for seven days and lived to talk about it" My second thought is if that is a lunchbox, would be a pissed off puppy if that was all I would be able to use for my lunch, lol. Take care and I wish you well.
That is one thing I have always disliked about so called wilderness survival kits videos which give a time frame. To this young man's credit I will say I believe that since the inventory of the kit included enough water purification tabs, caffeine pills, and salt sticks to last 7 days, was the reason behind calling it a 7 day kit. To me a wilderness survival kit shouldn't have an "expiration date" but allow you to be able to survive long term if beed be, and if not give you all the tools you need, at least give you enough to make or procure the things you need for long term survival if necessary. I get the reasoning behind calling it a "7 day survival kit" but I disagree with it. As someone who has lived and tough wilderness survival, trained by veterans such as yourself, I fully understand and get where you're coming from. I'd also like to thank you for your service and wish you and yours the best.
Unfortunately I purchased many of these items over a year ago, with current inflation the prices have inevitably gone up, so I have not calculated current prices for everything.
Working on that today. TH-cam only allows a finite list of links in the description so I’ll probably leave out the smaller everyday items like bandages, hair bands, etc.
@@DontForgetYourLunch35 Awesome! I'll keep an eye out for it. I already have a decent selection of bandages and such. Your video is very insightful and I definitely appreciate the quality!!
Ok was only able to squeeze in the first 20 or so items under the description. Working on creating a DFUL amazon account where I can then create public wish lists and share the links in the future.
Wonderful kit. I would just carry the charger cord in your pocket, you don't want to have to go through survival gear every time you need a charge, and if you find an outlet to charge then you are likely not in a situation that needs the other gear to survive. The escape gear likewise is a feel good option but useless inside the kit. Escape gear needs to already be hidden on you, you will have no time to dig though the kit if set upon by kidnappers. Don't store escape gear in a phone case or wallet as both will be taken from the start.
I have a small plastic handcuff key in my watch band, having one in your kit will not help you, if you are cuffed, you wont have access to your kit most likely. You also forgot the 11th C, cannabis, put some gummies in that kit...lol
I am looking for about your product place lace me a message. When I post this, I am looking for more information on this , I am looking for more information on where you got this box at container can I get your list and work you get the metal can
Handcuff key is pointless. If soneone is able to get you in cuffs, they took away this kit. If for some reason they didn't take away your kit, you're not going to find that key with your hands cuffed behind your back. It's a well put together kit though. I would put all the signalling devices such as the whistle, trail marking tape, and mirror at the top. Best to have those easily accessible since the first 36-72 hours is when the most extensive search and rescue efforts will be taking place.
This does not contain all 10 C's. You're missing a Cover element and a Canvas sail needle. I'd take out some of that stuff and throw in a space blanket and disposable rain poncho. Combine those two things with some leaves, grass, or other bough material to lay on and you have a complete shelter. Shelter, water, fire are more important than anything else.
It bring me pain to see that I have to make this my self, instead of just buying this off you. I encourage you to start selling these, a steady income will become of your fruits

been watching vids like this for a while now. this is in the top five. very well done sir.
Thank you, truly.
Man, that's one of the best kits I ever saw on the interwebs. Well done brother 💪🏼👊🏼
Thank you!
I appreciate the time & thought you've put into this comprehensive kit. I've never seen a couple of these items/products. Thanks for new some ideas.
Very thought out kit. One of better have seen. Nice a complete compact kit. I enjoyed watching it.
Outstanding kit. It's cool to see someone else who thinks along the same lines as you do. You have definitely given me some cool ideas for my kit. The concept of lunch box container is absolutely brilliant. I love the how compact it is and yet able to incorporate the 10 c's. Great job!!! I look forward to your next video
Definitely some good new ideas in here and I’ve watched about 1000 survival kit videos.
If you find a snug fitting nylon pouch to hold the tin you have multiple carrying options and a multi-purpose survival pouch.
This is the start of a decent kit, but it needs a way to carry it like a fanny pack or a pouch. Would also benefit from a fixed blade, folding saw, and/or a hatchet.
WOW! You fit a TON of stuff in there!! Very useful!
I spend way too much time on TH-cam watching videos like this one. Most are just copies of other videos and their included ideas. Gotta look a lot to find somethin' new. I found it here, I'm happy to say! This is a pretty damn good kit you've put together and you showed the contents without a whole lot of extraneous comments and other assorted crap. Saw several things that I haven't seen on other videos and that's getting harder to do, the more of these that I watch. Good job and a definite thumbs up from me!
I like the reflection tape on the back of the signal mirror 😎👍
6:46 that Leatherman huntsman knife looks very similar to my Victorinox Huntsman.
Yup, my mistake haha.
Best kit I’ve seen you present.
Couple +’s :
Rx pain meds
Coughlan’s mosquito head net
arrow head
glue stick
bow string
brass wire.
laser pen (signaling)
I suggest a length of plastic tube to act as a straw. Moving and pouring boiled and cooled water may disturb any sediment that collects. Use a straw to drink straight from the metal container without disturbing the crud in the bottom of the tin. If it’s a 7 day kit you need at least 20 water purifying tabs.

Birthday candles are compact, light and burn for about 10-15 mins each. Maybe ditch one Mylar blanket for one of those disposable rain ponchos. Keeping dry is a top priority. You can die from exposure in a few hours
I have the 700ml titanium lunchbox version and love it! Super light with extending handles and a solid airtight seal.
What I do is use heavy duty tin foil pressed inside the tin to form a ‘second skin’ so when you need to use the mess tin the contents can be lifted out whole and undisturbed and safe from loss,then simply placed back in afterwards.Secondary use - with care it’s possible to form the shape so it holds water as a sort of ‘cup’.
Good job 😊
One of the smartest kits I've seen on tube
I have seen many kits; this one is very well-thought out.
Amazing what you put in there! Well thought out and very cool!
Thank you, much appreciate the comment.
Tagaderms are also great at repairing flexible/hard surfaces. I have used them to fix school bags and lunch boxes.
Neat 👍
Add a silky pocketboy blade,it’s very light weight and sits flat,.With care it can be gripped using a piece of leather or cloth.It is 20 times better than the VICTORINOX saw.
You got my like with the candle wick wrapped lighter!
This is a great kit. Everything nicely bagged and organized.
I keep a Similar kit in my life jacket while fast water kayaking by myself, Incase I lose everything and need to spend a couple days getting back.
Great idea.
Awesome kit! I have a couple of those same bento/lunch boxes for the same purpose. They're a little heavier than the aluminum ones from ESEE or Best Glide but they'll hold up to high heat a lot better. Overall great stuff.
Hi. That is a lot of great gear . Thanks
Very well done and presented well.
Great idea with the lighter!
Working on a video to demo how to create the candle wick mini Bic system. Stay tuned.
Your the only other guy I have seen with the lockpicks and sharpening card in the kit love the lighter mod I will steal that.
Got a similar container and setup. Excellent contents and presentation.
Nice kit, well thought out. I like the lunch box. One thought - add a ziploc or nylon bag to hold all that stuff when you have to take it out to use the container for cooking. I guess you could bundle it up in the bandana.
Great idea. My thought was initially to just wrap everything up in the cotton bandana and tie off the top, kind of like a hobo sack. Having several options would be ideal.
A folded up shopping bag would easily do the trick!
@@kevinaitken4864 Very true
I would give this kit an 8 out 10 which for me is a high rating not bad at all many thanks
I'd give it a similar rating, but maybe a 7.5 out of 10. Which to me is still very high. Most kits I've seen on TH-cam that people put together are maybe a 6 at most.

Maybe add a couple of boiled sugar sweets to make an emergency fruit energy drink, or a couple of sachets of powdered rehydration salts drinks? Some excellent bits in the kit though.
Solid kit. I'm not professional but looks solid.
Nice kit. It's been a year since this was uploaded. I'd like to see a 2.0 version of this kit.
Really well done vid and kid
This is great!!!
Excellent!!!
excellent quality kit 👍
Great kit it’s really nice but I think you should have your handcuff key on the top of the kit so IF and I hope you don’t need too you had to use it you wouldn’t waste time going threw the kit
anti diarrhea meds and pepto bismo pills are highly recommended. Even drinking treated water can upset your stomach not to mention the stress can also cause upset stomach.
Good idea thanks!
May be an odd question but why do you buy 2in sections of gorilla tape from this survival store as opposed to buying a roll and just cutting 2in sections yourself? I couldn’t imagine that it’s very cost efficient to buy pre cut tape but I could be wrong sense I’m not researching it myself and just being lazy asking here ha
I utilize both.
This is well done.
Great content! Could you do an overview of all the items at the end of the video, like in the thumbnail?
can u demo the esee fire stick and how easy is the magnesium to scrape

Great vid. Thank you.
Damn you make good vids!
Thanks just getting started
Dude, awesome kit! The comb made me lol. How much did the lunch box cost? Liked and subbed.
I love these little lunchboxes !
It's 1200 millilitres "mils"for short.
Have you setup as an Amazon affiliate yet ?
I have, but after I uploaded this video. I still need to add the link list, which will happen soon.
@@DontForgetYourLunch35 AWESOME ! You deserve to profit from your work 👍
Or 1.2 litres/2 pints/4 cups.
Did you just call a SAK a Leatherman? 06.45
I'll let you off because it the kit seems fairly sensible ;)
well through out kit.
Do u think this would fit in a Stanley 24oz adventure for 2?
Don’t hate me I know those are played!
I'm not sure, let me know if it does.
is this something we can purchase already assembled? i don't see a link
This is just something I put together with the gear I already had. I pinned the inventory list, and I'll be creating some Amazon public wish lists with for each kit soon.
Hello young man, please do not take this as a slam against your video. I say the same thing to every emergency video I watch, and there are a buttload of them. You say the kit is a seven day kit. How do you determine that? Select a safe place of your choosing, away from any and all humane contact and have a friend drop you off with that kit for seven days. When you get back, make another video with that same kit and give a report on how well it worked out for you. I spent 34 years in the Marine Corps. I know a little about survival. I am not saying the kit is a FUBAR. I am not saying you are not capable of surviving in a survival situation. What I am saying is that you could be one of the first youtubers to prove what you are proposing. If not for any reason except to yourself. If you did that you would be one of the most rare videos on youtube, and I would think you would have one of the best watched videos on youtube if your tagline was "I actually used my emergency kit for seven days and lived to talk about it" My second thought is if that is a lunchbox, would be a pissed off puppy if that was all I would be able to use for my lunch, lol. Take care and I wish you well.
That is one thing I have always disliked about so called wilderness survival kits videos which give a time frame. To this young man's credit I will say I believe that since the inventory of the kit included enough water purification tabs, caffeine pills, and salt sticks to last 7 days, was the reason behind calling it a 7 day kit. To me a wilderness survival kit shouldn't have an "expiration date" but allow you to be able to survive long term if beed be, and if not give you all the tools you need, at least give you enough to make or procure the things you need for long term survival if necessary. I get the reasoning behind calling it a "7 day survival kit" but I disagree with it. As someone who has lived and tough wilderness survival, trained by veterans such as yourself, I fully understand and get where you're coming from. I'd also like to thank you for your service and wish you and yours the best.
Where's the link to purchase?
That's a superb tin! Do you happen to have an approximate price for all those items?
Unfortunately I purchased many of these items over a year ago, with current inflation the prices have inevitably gone up, so I have not calculated current prices for everything.
Handcuff key buried in the survival kit?
Do you by any chance have a link list?
Working on that today. TH-cam only allows a finite list of links in the description so I’ll probably leave out the smaller everyday items like bandages, hair bands, etc.
@@DontForgetYourLunch35 Awesome! I'll keep an eye out for it. I already have a decent selection of bandages and such. Your video is very insightful and I definitely appreciate the quality!!
Ok was only able to squeeze in the first 20 or so items under the description. Working on creating a DFUL amazon account where I can then create public wish lists and share the links in the future.
@@DontForgetYourLunch35 You are a godsend! Thank you!!
Can you provide a link to where you got those Ziploc bags?

Wonderful kit. I would just carry the charger cord in your pocket, you don't want to have to go through survival gear every time you need a charge, and if you find an outlet to charge then you are likely not in a situation that needs the other gear to survive. The escape gear likewise is a feel good option but useless inside the kit. Escape gear needs to already be hidden on you, you will have no time to dig though the kit if set upon by kidnappers. Don't store escape gear in a phone case or wallet as both will be taken from the start.
Great! Total price?
I’m working on providing a better inventory/link list. I’ll calculate the price soon after.
But can it sing?
No glucose?
Добрый день. Хороший набор 👍🇺🇦
Very cool can you send me one .
I must have missed something. I saw 4 “wipe tabs”. For 7 days ?
Yes. Given the probability of decreased calorie consumption, you'd be surprised how this is completely adequate.
Can you tell where I can get that lock pick set?

Nice hacks...
I have a small plastic handcuff key in my watch band, having one in your kit will not help you, if you are cuffed, you wont have access to your kit most likely. You also forgot the 11th C, cannabis, put some gummies in that kit...lol
I am looking for about your product place lace me a message. When I post this, I am looking for more information on this , I am looking for more information on where you got this box at container can I get your list and work you get the metal can
Handcuff key is pointless. If soneone is able to get you in cuffs, they took away this kit. If for some reason they didn't take away your kit, you're not going to find that key with your hands cuffed behind your back. It's a well put together kit though. I would put all the signalling devices such as the whistle, trail marking tape, and mirror at the top. Best to have those easily accessible since the first 36-72 hours is when the most extensive search and rescue efforts will be taking place.
This does not contain all 10 C's. You're missing a Cover element and a Canvas sail needle. I'd take out some of that stuff and throw in a space blanket and disposable rain poncho. Combine those two things with some leaves, grass, or other bough material to lay on and you have a complete shelter. Shelter, water, fire are more important than anything else.
He has 2 Mylar blankets for cover and a small sewing machine set he also has a sail needle and line for it.
Handcuffs key? What kind of survival training have you had? Hairpins hair ties,not in my kits.
Have you ever left your house? Lol
It bring me pain to see that I have to make this my self, instead of just buying this off you. I encourage you to start selling these, a steady income will become of your fruits
Do you know how much water you can carry in a condom? A lot, but it doesn’t take much space to carry a condom!
,👍
No shelter
