A survival kit doesn’t have to and can’t realistically prepare you for every scenario known to man. Truth is, you’d be better off with your kit, whatever you put in it, than without it. Good video.
I agree with you that these exercises are fun to test one's thinking. And even oddly satisfying if some instance arises where one actually deploys something within their kit to accomplish some task. Shout-out for including the mylar blanket. They used to pass these out at the end of fall races [a.k.a marathons] for a bit of warmth to guard against suddenly having to cool down. They are great windbreakers. Also, for those hoping to mimic your kit the official name of that small ring is "Quick links." They are available in both zinc & stainless steel [for extra worry-free carry.]
Nice kit. for the tiny space you had to work with you did good if you ask me. Dont worry if you get alot of people saying you should had done this or that, its your kit, your project.
Dude you absolutely nailed this build! Thanks so much for sharing this one Mr.petterb! Hope your week is truly blessed! Cheers, Kimmers and Jerbs #BEUP #DSKFS #neverquitquitting #22ADay #22ADaynomore #BEUP #DSKFS #NEVERQUITQUITTING #22ADay 👍🏼🇺🇸🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great video, thanks. Great knife, too. 🔪 I have black and glowing green scales on my 3V 6.5 Field Buddy knife with an Esee 3 mounted on it's leather sheath piggyback style in Esee's thin plastic sheath they have. Also a ferro rod to. I think together they compliment each other well as a great start to my 101 tool option. I wanted to add a mini survival kit to my knife, but it would stick out too much, so I carry a little bigger one on my belt separately. I like making preparedness kits for EDC, survival, camp, earthquake on up to the apocalypse SHTF kit. Fun hobby.
looks SO MUCH FUN to make! i can tell you had a blast collecting all that orange themed gear! thanks for sharing. now i have et another projct to put on my list
Maybe use the last couple of unused holes on the bottom of the sheath to hang a little small pouch for holding skittles, peanut M&M's, and extra paracord.
Good video, brother. These kits are fun to make. I enjoy doing it myself and they could save your life if done right. People should practice these skills, you never know when one of these kits could be needed. I live in the upper peninsula of Michigan and I am in the woods a lot. I have been stuck in the woods a couple of times and things like this comes in handy.
Awesome. Thank you. This was super fun. This was a practice video. Feeling out my subs and seeing how well the video does on TH-cam. If all goes well. I plan on making more
That was a cool and fun video. I agree with you, these are so much fun to build and put together, and it is an exercise in thinking for sure. I know people make fun of these kits and fishing kits, but for me, taking them out and actually using them is just as fun as putting them together. I used to love going out to small creeks and trout fish when I lived in Wisconsin, and when I started making these little kits, trout fishing became even more fun. One thing I always have with me in a pocket and on a keychain, is an MRE Tabasco bottle filled with bug juice, and then heat shrink around the bottle to keep the cap on, and if it's going on my keychain, I have an extra inch or so of that heat shrink and put a hole in it for my keychain. Many times, that has come in handy when outside and the bugs descend on you. Those little bottles also make great little liquid candles than burn for 45 to 70 minutes depending on flame height. Keep up the great work.
See what you do to me. You made me go dig into my Toy Box just like a little kid...lol. Turns out that I do have something Orange! I have a 3 dollar Raincoat, an SOL Mylar Blanket and Exotac Fire Sleeve. What I found interesting is a thing called a Lighter Leash...much like your lighter thingy but with a 3’ retractable cord and pocket clip. Forgot I had it, probably one of those things they sell next to the cash register that you give 3 seconds of thought too before buying...
I noticed you’re missing all the fun stuff; a Compass, Signaling Mirror and Magnifying Glass or Fresno Lens...all things you’re going to need for when you go catch the forest on fire...lol
10 or so years ago mini survival kits stuck on bk7 and cold steel bushman’s etc. were all over TH-cam people seemed to stop doing that stuff. Its really fun and cool thanks for the video great kit
Hey PBKG, great video. In my book, it’s always fun to watch what each person may pack into a kit, which usually provides new ideas based on individual preferences and experience. Great to see your insights on it, especially coming from your former background as a prepper , as you mentioned. One question: who manufactures that pouch. I like it a lot.
Thank you. Here is the link. It’s not a knife pouch. I had to modify it. I’ll be doing a update video going over that soon www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BY8WPNCT?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
I personally never understood the sheath becoming a mini backpack setup. I think it's probably an evolution of the hollow handle Rambo survival knife. The pouch doesn't suddenly become more compact or readily available because you tied it to your knife with some 550 cord. I think it's much easier to make a case for having it in a cargo pocket, belt pouch, butt pack, etc.
Nicely done and looking sharp but I don't see the Camel T*e cigs....You gotta bring on the rainbow for that special treat....Always good to keep on this stuff and do it and the possibility of using this in a real world scenario is slim but again fun to do and gets you thinking....Good stuff....
Another good alternative to the sharpeners would be a Speedy Sharp sharpener. The carbide will sharpen any type of steel edge you have and throws sparks from a ferro rod real good. They come in a variety of colors, are small and take a long time to dull out.
WOW THIS IS COOL I LIKE IT pretty smart and i like the orange lol i dont know how many things ive lost outside because its was green or black or camo lol but with orange you wont loose that for sure so really cool brother
Looks like a fun project. Ya might want a Camo rain jacket for that beacon of sunshine...just fun’n. I have a few Maxpedition Mini pouches I have geared for different situations. The things that always gets robbed first are my extra Money followed by Pain relievers and Electrolytes. I have often wished I had a Toilet Paper roll stuffed somewhere and an extra key for when my wife locks me out of the house...lol
I had a similar kit in the pouch of my schrade schf36. It was smaller than your pouch so not as complete. I found a way to add items was to attach them directly to the sheath. 50 pound braided fishing line is tough stuff and I could wrap 30 ft of it pretty easy. I then wrapped that in a good length of gorilla tape. I wrapped heavy monofilament around the back of the snap strap that secures the knife. It's crazy how much will fit there without getting in the way. I put a hook on the end of the line with a piece of painters tape over it. Then wrapped that with a pipe cleaner. The hook end slid behind the plastic liner and the pipe cleaner could be used as an improvised fly. I always looked at that heavy " survival knife kit" as something that stayed on me. Even if I lost my pack I'd still have everything I needed to last a few days. Nice job on your survival kit, ill be stealing a few of your ideas for mine!
Oh 1 other thing in mine, several of those strobe fireworks they sell at 4th of July. If you are lost in the woods they make one hell of a signal device!
The only trouble with putting any kind of food in a pack like that is when you're outdoors, camping, etc. your pack is prone to attract rodents. I've lost a few packs and gear to those rascals in just a matter of minutes especially when you camp in "designated campgrounds". Animals get accustomed to go searching in folks stuff. 😐
I love my orange scales and so on. Being color blind to an extent, it really helps me in case i drop it in the foliage You could easily add a poncho in the space blanket bag and not take up much more room.
As far as "Survival" fishing goes. First you have to have a place to fish. Second you have to find something to use as bait. And last. Don't make a fishing rod per-say, just bait your hook weight the end of the line. Toss it out and tie off to a bendy piece of what ever. Willow bush is the best. If you catch something, all the better. But do not count on it. I live in Wyoming. So a fishing kit is not something I worry about. P.S. where can I get a sleeve for a BIC lighter?
Agree. Fishing is almost a joke especially in a small kit like this. Here is the Amazon link. They come in many colors www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0C5CYLXVC?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
Thank you. Yes. The lighter things is awesome. That’s a edc pouch I ordered off amazon and modified to attach to the knife. If you want a link let me know
I didn’t realize how thin the AK 5.5 is and I’m still trying to like it. Being so use to my Esee and Ontario Rat 6’s I keep trying to cut myself with the non existent finger choil. Also not use to having my grip so far from the cutting edge. Probably going to use it as a down payment on an 3V AK 6.5...
Not related to this post. What do you think about Muela knifes? As a person based in europe I bought one and it seems decent for the price. The steel is nothing fancy just a 440 but its pretty nice for around 30 dollars lol. I would be happy to get your opinion on em. Cheers!
The pliers are nice but im gonna sh!t on that dime. My scissors spring was inoperable from day one. The whole reason i bought it was for the scissors. Got to cut my bud up and it failed
Mini pry bar? I just threw up in my mouth. No mini compas, mirror, whistle, or water tablets? Could fit all those things in that pouch with the space you have left over
Why would I need a compass? With no map it’s basically useless. No water tables are needed either. With the ability to make fire and the availability of garbage around I can find something to boil water in. And I find whistles to be completely worthless for anything
@peterbiltknifeguy okay, well good luck. This isn't rocket science, it's all been well documented by decades of professionals preparing the smartest people for the most dangerous missions in every environment on earth. You didn't mention the environment you're planning for, but with all the trash, and invisible terrain, it sounds fun. I'll tell them they forgot to include a cute little prybar to open their energy drinks with.
@@alwayson999 wow. For someone who comments and likes a bunch of my stuff in this video I clearly said was for fun and probably wouldn’t aid much in survival of anything. you’re being kind of a jerk about it. Did you even see the end where I said that?
@peterbiltknifeguy Of course, I love your videos. I'm also a TH-cam troll. I actually do have a decade of professional survival training and also study it as an enthusiast now. Your list is pretty good. It's the "freebie" ones I'd consider adding: credit card mirror, needle/thread, mini compass. And maybe some very small wound care supplies.
@@Saltlife2182 the quick and dirty on it is…. I cut a piece of leather that fits snugly in the pouch and glued it in for backing. Then drilled holes and bolted it to the sheath
