- If you were stranded in the wilderness and had to survive for 72 hours with just five items, which ones would you choose? This is something every serious prepper should plan for. In this video Jon Faulkner, Chris Weatherman and Aaron Phillips share five items they'd personally choose to survive and thrive if SHTF.

Nice
You win Noah!
Nicole isn't that old
You misspelled Scarlet Johanson
If you're going to call it a challenge you could at least do the challenge instead of just talking about it.
ok
yeah i clicked on the link hoping to see that.
A campfire is community, even if you're alone.
so when do we get to see the actual 72hr 5 item challenge?
Thats why I tuned in to begin with!😉
There's s lot of videos on TH-cam just like this that say challenge, but they never actually do it. Drives me nuts lol
@@butchcassidy33 Sometimes the biggest challenge is getting off of the couch.😉
Carlisle195 does a two item challenge
close your eyes, click your heels together 3 times and repeat "there's no place like the wilderness"
1. Lofty Wiseman
2. Ray Mears
3. Dave Canterbury
4. Les Stroud
5. Bear Grylls (for entertainment value)
Think that pretty much covers my 5 items.
Yorkie263
1. Replace Bear with Mors Kochanski.
Looking at the list, I was like "What, no Mors Kochanski.."..but then opened the replies.
As the late Terry Wogan said...Bear Grylls survival ejit!
You forgot the ONE person that Ray Mears goes to for inspiration on his own .. Lars Fäldt! Nobody on the northern part of the world knows more about REAL techniques of "survival" or wilderness living and effective buschcraft.
Being old enough to remember the SAS Survival Legend Lofty Wiseman myself, I’d go with him as No.1, DEFO!
Enjoyed hearing you talk about it, but would be nice to see the three of you using your 5 items so we could see who utilized them the best.
Chris wakes up, gets out of bed and puts on his knife, light and gun. I'm not sure what kind of undies you sleep in but I bet breakfast at your house is always fun as hell
1. Space Blanket
2. Stainless steel bottle
3. Heavy Duty Trasbag
4. Chicken Burrito Bowl MRE
5. Ferro rod (obv. with striker)
I don't really buy into the 5 item only notion, but just to play along ...
1. Knife
2. Fero Rod
3. 8x10 poly Tarp (my area is very wet)
4. Cordage
5. 2-3 qt Billy Pot
survive three days? uhhh, ill just take a water bottle.
Samuel Smoke you got them there, pal... 😂😂😂
Very good thought exercise. Mine:
1) Leatherman Surge Multitool
2) Deep cover canteen/cup combo
3) SOG space bivy
4) Storm matches
5) Henry AR7
This is a cool concept. If I may make two suggestions: 1. 5 items is an arbitrary number that really doesnt mean anything. My mini survival kit is smaller than any of those, and I'll bet I have like a dozen items in there. Maybe you could make a "mini survival kits" or "pocket survival kits" video. 2. I would love to see a video where someone takes a "mini survival kit" and actually goes out to live on it for 72hrs. Keep up the good work!
Right dude? Because one of my items would be a precooked turkey.
If you want me to I'll use my miniature survival kit and do that video for you because that's just the basic weekend for me
Totally agree
AlfieAesthetics made a pretty good pocket kit. th-cam.com/video/BZDlYy_6670/w-d-xo.html is the link.
Okay, this is the first video you've done that I simply don't 'get' at all! Unless I spaced it off or missed it there's no requirement that it fit in a pocket or be super light/compact. I remember seeing Chris on ALONE so I'm envisioning a 72 hour situation where you're stranded or lost in a given location. If I have to do 3 days and the stipulation is five items they're gonna be five killer items! An example of what I'd choose:
1) 0 degree F rated Wiggy's bag. Bombproof, warm and it will keep you warm even if it's wet.
2) Tent or my Integral Designs Sil-Tarp. It has tons of tie-outs and is super well made. Why on Earth would anyone use a space blanket over a real tarp? I've used a space blanket for real to make a survival shelter and I'll tell you, I sure wished I'd have at least had the Grabber one instead of the thin mylar. If you take mylar be sure to take some duct tape, too. Presumably cordage is allowed, at last if it's already attached to the tarp.
3) Good knife. Any of the ones shown here would be fine but I suppose I'd take my JK Camp Knife, Ontario RAT7 in D2 or maybe just my Mora Garberg.
4) Good lighter, or a heavy fire steel. Even a big box of UCO Matches.
5) 2 gallon stock pot, Stainless, with SS lid. Again, it doesn't have to fit in a cargo pocket! Have fun burning a bowl or drinking from a condom! ;-) Seriously with a 2 gallon pot you can boil water once a day, maybe even every other day.
Honorable mention:
6) If I could have a sixth item I'd take a Wiggy's ground pad, or barring that a good foam pad or inflatable, in that order.
7) Silky Katanaboy 500mm folding saw.
8) Good headlamp.
So if I can set up a tarp, pile up some spruce or pine boughs and roll my Wiggy's bag out over them I'm pretty much golden. I don't even need a fire unless it's winter with a 0 F bag. In my AO I can honestly find a spring pretty easily and not even really need to sanitize my water but with the steel pot I can boil it if I want.
Good video, I just wonder why one wouldn't take the full sized items if you're limited in number but not in size.
Holiday Inn, Pool, Keg of brew, That babe from study hall 30 years ago, and a bottle of water to give it that survival feeling
I love how this gets back to the basics!
1. Coldsteel Pipehawk
2. Sail twine
3. Wool blanket
4. Large stainless canteen
5. Ferro rod
@The Hillbilly Hiker i can agree. However i choose wool blanket and canvas so i can sleep close to the fire. The problem with a sleeping bag over a wool blanket is that you run the risk of melting it if you need to be close to a fire. I have a sleeping bag for if I'm in higher altitudes that do not allow for firewood gathering. But yeah, and as for food their "challenge" is for no real amount of time so going hungry isn't a primary concern, we could all use a good fast every now and then.
One thing that has been a bit lost in recent times is sitting with your back to the fire so you can see into the woods. The worst thing is having to wait for your eyes to adjust when a person turns away from staring into it. Have to admit I am guilty of it too though.
"Survival" guys like this need to talk with ultralight hikers...They'd learn a lot.
1.) Tyvek is only waterproof for awhile, then it soaks up water and holds it in the fibers like a sponge. Dyneema would be better, but if weight is no issue go with a mylar coated tarp. Its basically a more durable version of the survival blanket.
2.) Headlamps are better in almost every way to oldschool handheld lights. I recommend the Nitecore NU25 with the headband replaced by 1/16" shock cord. It's tiny, has a built in waterproof rechargeable battery and outperforms my $120 Petzl in almost every category. I have been using the Nitecore on a daily basis for my day job for the past 3 years and also carry one in each of my hike packs and in my car. Its head and shoulders above the competition for a general use, Inexpensive headlamp.
3.) 2 mini BIC lighters weigh less and will start more fires than a single ferro rod. Theyre water proof and because you can produce a flame you can ignite materials like tree sap very quickly and avoid the long process of making tiny pulp fibers to ignite with sparks. Instead you can jump straight to feathered sticks and build a large fire fast.
4.) For cordage I recommend Dyneema 12 strand braid "SK-78 or SK-99". A 1.3mm diameter will have a break strength of around 600lb and be much lighter than polyester 550 cord. Also Dyneema has less than 1% stretch so its great for guy lines, and building shelters. Dyneema cordage is literally stronger than steel....Like 7 times stronger. And its nearly the same cost as oldschool 550 paracord.
I prefer my latteren flash light myself as I can put it on my bealt and see in all directions at the cost of it taking up more space. (Its a novelry flash light designed to look like a old fashioned lantern.)
As for starting more fires it depends on the type of faro rod but with the type there useing I agree. The ones without a magnesium back can start more fires but requires finer tinder to use.
Respect your ideas, and liked the video. As a Thru-hiker with well over 2000 miles in the woods, my 5 would be Lighter, Pot, Tent, Sleeping bag, phone. The only time I needed a knife was for opening food containers. (Which isn't to say I didn't carry one on my long hikes.) For 72 hours I am not going to need a knife. The phone can provide entertainment, GPS and mapping, emergency signaling, and a light source. Now, if we pretend it's a more survival situation and you don't have your phone (it's in my pocket and everyone else I know, but just for argument's sake), My fifth item would be a large jar of peanut butter. Plenty enough calories for 3 days in the woods. Actually for me, with those 5 items, it wouldn't be much of a challenge and more like a relaxing couple days off. To be honest, I don't ever go out into the woods even for a day hike without my pack, which always has in it, a stove, pot, sleeping bag, tent, sleeping pad, knife, 3 lighters, a Saywer water filter, and at least a few days worth of food. (my pack is under 10 lbs).
Blackout NW Scout Funny thing Peanut butter is part of our emergency bags,.. for reasons you stated and more.
I haven't gotten to that 6 lb level yet. Though to be honest if I let go of my electronics I'd be around 7. But for me I'm comfortable with anything lighter than 11. Hell, my baseweight on the AT was 24 when I started. Live and learn, and don't pack your fears. :) Hikers Hike my friend!
U think that phone will last u 3 days? Using it for "entertainment"? This is a stupid challenge. Living in the woods for 3 days isn't survival unless its fucking freezing. By freezing I mean 32 or below. This kind of stuff is for gear queers to wander around with to feel safer.
1. Takedown recurve bow
2. Arrows for the bow
3. Storm proof matches
4. Sawyer mini
5. Mora companion knife
I really love the banter between the three of you! Really added to it :)
In Southern Arizona you better bring your own water, odds you'll find some without knowing the area is very close to zero.
@@JP-hr3xq Lol exactly.. After living in Arizona a bit.... Hell, a fire might just randomly start next to you that you can use, it's so damn dry.
In other words, screw arizona. Desert, desert and more freaking desert.
This video has been very educational for me thank you
It’s interesting to see the different perspectives.
1-Poncho
2- Sawyer water filter
3-sharp hatchet that you can hold at the blade for fine work
4-container of water and wind proof matches
5-sleepin bag ot poncho liner that zips
1. Knife
2.ferro rod
3.pot
4.paracord
5.tarp
In that order. Good to see your diffferent picks, and you guys not tearing each other down over it.👏
This should pretty much be the standard. If you have no idea what to expect, these things will see you through well past the 72 hours assuming you can find food at some point.
@@Hyperbrain10 Ive been eyeballing a 64 ounce stainless bottle from Kleen Canteen. Kind of the best of both worlds. Thanks for commenting! 🤘
@@Hyperbrain10 you can get one for 14 bucks at Walmart
@Sleeve Of Wizard tarp and 550 are not a waste making them IS a waste of TIME and ENERGY. But my only question here is which one should you cover the ground or the sky? Coz I see most people make an Aframe but rain aint gonna fall at all. But the cold ground during nights are the ones that could get you to hypothermia. That is why I always have a 2 trash bag and a mylar in my pack so I could cover both top of me and underneath me.
1)Fixed blade Knife with FireSteal rod in the sheath
2)Titanium Cantine/Messkit
3)10x10 Tarp
4)ParaCord
5)S&W Model 29 44 Magnum loaded w/ bearshot
Paracord is as simple as a bracelet. Flashlights? Love my Felix...but I also like not being seen..until you know, getting rescued. I love the dark. I love being in the wilderness. Garbage bags also make good containers...ponchos, body bags to cuddle up in the soil and duff. What an incredibly thought provoking and informative video, guys! Wow!
Nice. Agreeable and logical., obviously skilled adults.
1. Water Boiling Vessel / cup with lid;
2. Cutting tool;
3. 10 ft x 10 ft trap with cordage ties in place, counted as a complimentary item (can be made into a bed roll - pack or a sleeping bivvy);
4. Magnesium / ferrocerium rod / fat wood combo; and
5. Head lamp (hands free flashlight) or flashlight with head band.
I have been teaching survival since the mid nineties, I have heard good instructors and bad instructor yak about the stuff you guys just talked about. I have to say it was one of the most enjoyable conversations on the subject. You guys sounded like good friends on the back porch having a good conversation. You weren't adversarial or pretentious. Just good friends discussing an important subject. Not to mention all your points about the gear was spot on. I really enjoyed that 20 plus minutes, time well spent Bravo Zulu! (good job)
"For me there's no reason for anyone to not have a tarp on them" yup, absolutely say both guys who didn't bring a tarp 🤣
You kept my interest all the way through! Good video!
1. Can of Baked Beans
2. Lighter
3. Flashlight
4. Wool blanket
5. My 1872 Open Top 45LC/ 100 ct Box of ammo
1) esee 6
2) ferry rod
3) poncho
4) survival straw
5) metal cup/container
My 5 items would be:
1. Fiskars camping hatchet. I can use it to make a shelter, chop wood and it is light weight.
2. Huntshield knife with ferro rod as a fire starter back up
3. Bio-Lite campstove. Yes it is on the heavy side but I can use the kettle pot to collect and boil water in. I have all the fuel I need right from the ground. I can get 5 days from the rechargeable battery.
4. Tarp.
5. Petzel head lamp.
tent, mat, sleeping bag, bic lighter, can of baked beans. happy days for 72 hrs
guys in the video would have a very hard time with those items during winter.
Knife, ferro rod, SS bottle. 550 cord, Tarp
I like the ss bottle idea. I didnt even think about that. Way better than a pot
Landon Jones carry water and boil water and I even cooked in mine
@@BigRed-oi6ky word
the big 5 C´s ! done!
Nailed it.
Guy on the right has the right idea. If you were ever in a 72 hr survival situation the two reasons are you are being pursued or you were abandoned and need to find your way out. Setting up camp to build and fire and boil water takes a ton of time, and their cups aren’t that big either so they’d be spending a large portion of their time just sterilizing water. That life straw lets him move along a body of water, preferably to find help.
I'd rather a cold steel folder than majority of fixed for survival I'm with him love this channel great vid
1. knife
2. ferrocerium rod
3. sawyer SP194
4. pot
5. tent
sawyer has discontinued the SP194 kit, so if anyone wants to recreate the kit they would have to get the SP191 bucket kit and add some bladders.
I would recommend the MSR Dromedary bag reservoirs with the corresponding conversion kit to turn them into hydration pack bladders because of their tough outer lining which has some holes put into it so you can the bladder up.
Also you might want to put a carbon filter after the sawyer 0.02 micron filter in order to filter out dissolved contaminants like heavy metals and toxins plus they also improve the taste of water. Platypus and katadyn both offer in-line carbon filters.
and about the tent, get one with aluminium poles as they are much lighter than the fiberglass poles.
Great information as always!
1: Fixed blade knife (LT Wright Gary Wines Bushcrafter my go to)
2: 3/8 - 1/2'' Ferro rod (I make handles for these with fatwood)
3: Stainless steel or Titanium water bottle (16oz min... and you can boil water directly in them if needed)
4: Military style poncho that can double as a small tarp shelter
5: Cordage (#36 bank line is my go to, or survival cord which is paracord with fishing line, copper wire(good for trapping) and some other cordage all in one)
Bonus #6: My knowledge and skill level, which I would take over any of this gear. I can improvise nearly all of this with serious effort for sure, but it can be done. If I could only choose one, it would certainly be my fixed blade knife!
Really enjoy the way your guys talk together and discuss the various items and options! Good discussion... excellent format. Nicely done!!
Amazing info as always! Love this channel!
I always wondered why not many people would choose a knife/firesteel combo? There are many great options out there, and in such a way you will have 1 extra item left. My 5 items would be: 1. Mora Bushcraft Black (which is a Mora knife, with a firesteel attached on the sheet, as well as a sharpening stone) - 2. Titan solo stove 1800ml Stainless Steel Pot - 3. A tarp with camo color on the outside, and thermal reflective on the inside - 4. Titan paracord - 5. small survival space blanket .
Exposure will kill you dead faster than dehydration
#1 Shelter (sleeping bag & pad)
# 2 Fire (lighter)
# 3 signaling (if it’s a real survival situation)
# 4 water (bring water & life straw backup)
A camping hammock instead of the tarp in the bag? Keeps you off wet ground and away from ground bugs. Lifestraw water bottle with built in filter so you can purify and carry water. Maybe a multitool in place of a knife? Gives you a saw, a blade and more.
Bear in mind that I'm a hammock camper, so I really do appreciate a good hammock...but a hammock without a tarp is not going to keep you dry if it's raining.
great vid guys. thanks
1. Mora companion hd
2. 1/2" x6" Ferro rod
3. SS water bottle
4. 10x10 tarp
5. Cordage
Great discussion and video guys.
Hubby loves this video! Awesome items & thanks for the info!
Poncho,firesteel,large fixed blade,lifestraw,100 foot Hank of 750 Paracord. If I could have six items I would carry my poncho liner
Wash the tyvek in the washing machine (NO SOAP) on warm water. It will soften it up and make it quieter. Good idea for footprints.
I took a TH-camr's advice and got me some Tyvek, for FREE! Courtesy of the local post office. They have large envelopes made of Tyvek for free in the waiting area. I cut a couple of them and taped them. They work! Great for a kneeling pad on wet ground. You might want to make 2-3 trips to the post office and take 3-4 at a time, instead of 15 at once, not that a postal employee would even notice. LOL
Bought a 3x100ft roll from Lowe's for about $40...ground sheets/footprints for life!
Great idea!
If you run a sheet of Tyvek through a wash cycle (cold, gentle), then put it in the dryer - AIR ONLY, NO HEAT - with a couple of tennis balls, it will soften it and quiet it, and retain its waterproofing.
Morakniv Companion, Lighter, Lifestraw (rolled inside a 1 Gallon Zip-Loc with the lighter and twine inside as well), Roll of heavy painter's plastic, Jute twine instead of 550. It's a great firestarter as well as cordage.
Very interesting and fun topic!!!
Great info. Very informative.
Look at the envy from the tyvek! Lol. I have built over 30 houses and never thought about it. Genius! I will be adding this to my bag. Thanks guys!
I like that firestarter...cool
My 5 items for 72 hours survival challange in the woods:
- tent
- ferro rod
- 9 inch knife
- 5 gallons of water & soda
- 6 box of pizza
1 Ferro rod
2 fixed blade knife (ka-bar bk7)
3 life straw
4 paracord
5 metal bottle/pot
+ my knowledge of wild edibles
Spot on guys!! Very informative!!🙏👍👊💪
Great points!
Nice video thanks for the insight
Really enjoyed this one. Fun and interesting to see what other people would bring along. See additional post for my 5
Very informative, thank you!
Great video. Enjoyed.
Charles 🪖🇺🇸❤️
Great info and suggestions
1. Farrow rod
Because fire is very important to have but also to obtain quickly.
2. Puma Ondular I
Because fixed blades don't have any weak points and I love wood handles.
3. Stainless steel cup
Because it's usable for cooking, digging and water purification.
Nothing can fail with it.
4. Shemag
Usable for fire tinder, first aid applications and can be used to improvise cordage.
5.Bivibag
I would prefer a tarp and a sleeping bag, but I can't bring both so I bring a mixture of them.
1. bivy sack
2. Hatchet
3. Lighter
4. be free water bottle filter
5. Para cord
Great tips!
Great vid! Escape bivvy, Tops bob, titanium cup, lighter, Israeli e bandage
You can get a 100' foot roll buy 9' long of Tyvek house wrap at most siding or roofing supply houses or lumber yards for around between $100 and $120 , I know that's a lot of money but it's better than buying individually cut pieces for more
I think there are some silly decisions here. It's best to address the most immediate dangers you will encounter in 72 hours.
In 72 hours you will need:
1. To prevent from freezing
2. To drink water
All other considerations come in to play in longer stays, but that's all you really need to stay alive during that time.
Therefore I would propose a system to make those elements of survival as pain free as possible.
1. A Shelter - For me I'd bring a good tent or tarp
2. A Sleeping Bag - This combined with #1 will prevent freezing in the coldest of conditions.
3. A water filter - I'd personally chose something like the Katadyn BeFree which covers filtration and storage. I've boiled water for survival from a small pot, and it sucks.
4. A Lighter - Starting fire will cover problems 1 and 2 if necessary.
5. An Axe - They all brought a knife, but what utility does that provide over something like a Gransfors Bruk small forest axe? I think this provides the best method for gathering wood while still offering the utility of creating other tools / self defense if necessary.
Really speaking the first 3 cover your necessities. The last two are really for comfort. It's worth weighing if you'd be more comfortable with adding food rather than fire.
For me that's a tough call, but I might actually prefer this:
4 - A comfortable sleeping pad.
5 - freeze dried potatoes.
This would be a bit less entertaining, but you won't ever be cold, thirsty, hungry, or uncomfortable.
You chose water and cold. The climate is a variable, so is water availabiliity.
essentially, for three days, all you need to worry about is dying of exposure. you can easily dry fast for 3 days, especially if we're packing a few extra pounds, which will help with the exposure problem too!
Question: what flash lights are in the video?
For me:
Knife
SOL bivvy
Life straw
Head lamp
Ferro rod
Water is in no shortage in central Alabama. If I did stop for the night I’d just camp beside a steam. SOL Bivvy or MSS bivvy would work to keep you dry. SOL is way lighter. I picked head lamp for the hands free usages.
Awesome looking gear!!
Five items. I’d have to go with
Knife
Cordage
Tarp
Cup or canteen
Forever match. I’m still testing it out but so far I’m loving it. Four months using it quite a bit and still going strong Great vid guys
I'd bring
#1 A cow - Food
#2 A water truck - Covers Water & Shelter
#3 Chuck Norris - Security
#4 A Blanket - To Stay Warm
#5 A Midget - with 5 more items
The Five C's of survivability:
1. Cutting. 2. Combustion. 3. Cover (shelter) 4. Container 5. Cordage
I'm surprised that all 3 hosts missed out on fulfilling this well known list.
Cowboys use to carry, Jerky, Rope, Fire Starter, Bedroll, and a .Shooter'. Some carried a can of peaches lol. For me I had Jerky on my list :). Great video guys! Lots of small details of versatility of items!
This channel is basically Fantasy Survival Club. I’ll be nice and stop there..
72 hours... you’re most likely to die from exposure. Keeping warm and hydrated is really all you have to worry about (and being rescued).
It would be nice to see a simultaneous video of the three of you using your items throughout a 72hr period.
Thank you guys for the knowledge passing my way.It maybe boring for some but i know for sure that it is well received for most of us. Teaching a man to fish is the way to go, he'll provided for himself for his lifetime. Again thank you and have a wonderful New Year, Happy New Year from mine to yours.
Metal mug
Bic lighter
Mora campanion
Jar of instant coffee
10x10 tarp
jackalmereel great list.
My teen daughter could easily survive with her purse. She has a blade, lighter, and a million other things packed into her tiny purse.
I agree with the guys and they got it right. However, something that doesn't get talked about as much is the "5 things" below because they aren't as sexy and aren't necessary cool. Again, IMHO...
1. Choosing the right clothing for your environment (e.g. wool, rain gear, winter coat, sunscreen, etc. whatever conditions you would encounter during the season and location). Exposure will likely kill more people then anything else and having the appropriate clothing will save lives.
2. Telling someone your exact location and sticking to it (or updating them if it changes) and exactly when you'll be back and that you will contact them when you're home safe.
3. A fully charged Cell Phone to call for help (I understand potential for signal issues or battery dies or a fall and the phone breaks, etc.) But making a call to help will and can save your life before you ever need to do anything to "survive." Additionally, you'll probably have a flashlight, compass, communication, etc. already downloaded on your phone.
4. GPS / Map of location to navigate back to your vehicle (unless you're injured and can't have self rescue)
5. Water...I love my life straw but if there isn't water around, then I'm in trouble...also, pathogens won't kick in for days but dehydration can kill much quicker.
Just some additional thoughts...Again, love the list!
Kevin Boock This was 5 item challenge. You’re going to carry a phone as one of your only 5 items. Also, you can’t carry a “tell someone where you’re going “.
@@kevinbeazy The phone effectively has a flashlight on it already, so you could just swap it for that.
Great video!
The shelter I prefer is the military ponchos can be used for shelter and if it is wet or what ever you can use by wearing it to either stay dry or an extra lair to keep the wind off you or help maybe hold in some body heat.
I would take a roll of jute twine over paracord if I were limited to one or the other. I use both in my kit, but almost nothing beats jute for fire starter with just a spark.
Try Titan survival cord it has just twine inside along with snare wire and 20lb fishing line
I will bring what I already have: My
1.Folding knife
2.Heavy duty poncho
3.Mess tin
4. Fire starter
5. Flashlight
Had never considered Tyvek before. Thank you.
Awesome video!
1.My bearded Hatchet.
2. Ferro rod
3. 30oz kettle
4. 10 x 10 tarp
5. My dog. I don’t go into the woods with out her. She’s a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. Good dog, good hunter and retriever.
The Hillbilly Hiker
yeah your line up sounds about right.
1. For an axe I’d still used my double bit cruiser. Two different edge profiles, one crazy sharp and one for rough work. Double bit axes are like the mullets of axe. Business in the front party in the back.
2. I use any fire steel. Mine is a cheap Coghlans.
3. Stainless steel bottle.....I prefer something larger like a kettle or percolator, but I do have a contigo coffee mug I’ve used before, works well enough in a pinch. Just have to take the plastic lid off.
4. I don’t own a “quality sleeping bag” I use a queen size Hudson Bay wool blanket that’s about 35 years old. Like the old red with the black stripes.
5. I used a Canadian tire blue tarp. Is it. Rip stop...nope. It’s loud, heavy and cost effective.
6. Calories. I usually have Quaker Oats, bacon, coffee and jerky of some kind. Moose, deer, goose or beef.
7. Dog. I’m not going into the woods with out my dog.

Sorry when you mentioned axe I assumed a longer term scenario. My bearded hatchet was just an old hatched head I modified with a grinder, dremel, water and patience. With a 22” handle I made out of broken axe handle. I live in northwestern Ontario Canada. I think the pot to ss bottle switch concept come along because you can put a ss bottle your person and your body heat can melt the snow. I remember reading that some where, not sure. After reading enough survival books they all start to sound the same and begin to read like a menu. I don’t necessarily agree with it. In mild winter yes I can understand. In this -40 to -50 stuff We dealt with this past week. I’m going to have to say a hard no. Lol
Yeah I realized I started that post with sorry. Stereotype much. Lol. I don’t care for hockey so I think that balances it out.
The hot bottle to heat yourself and preheat you sleeping bag makes way more sense. It’s funny I never thought of that because I use my ss coffee tumbler for that when working in cold conditions.
Morakniv Garberg carbon; 1/2" X 5" Uberleben Kraftig ferro rod; TOAKS Titanium 1100ml Pot w/Bail; 100' Titan Black Steel SurvivorCord (w/ steel snare, 25lb fishing & tinder strands); Aqua Quest silnylon Tarp 10' X 10' (orange).
Another advantage to the type is that it is white. So your shelter is a little brighter. Rather than with the dark green or brown tarps especially in winter and psychological affects
I haven't watched the video yet but I'm choosing 5 items...lets see if I change any of them.
1) tarp (ToGoSystems 10x12)
2) large knife (Browning Crowell Barker)
3) ferro rod
4) two quart metal pot with lock on lid
5) compass (includes a map)
OK, I watched it. I'm sticking by my 5 items. The compass is to help get out of being "stranded" in the wilderness.
IRL I always have a knife and a Bic as EDC. I could change the knife and ferro rod to
