You've designed your kit targeting the needs you either have encountered or anticipate you might encounter. I share this because we all learn from experiences. I do a lot of mountain hiking in areas usually shared with many others of varying levels of hiking experience. I have learned to make room for a bit more medical in my kit: an ace bandage for wrapping ankles or pulled groin muscles, a packet of Tyenol, a couple band-aids, a small roll of Tums, 1 disinfectant wipe packet, a small amount of T.P., and a Halloween sized packet of Skittles as a morale boost (usually for children.)
Yes, we all need to build our kits based on own activities, experiences and tendencies. I do have a completely separate IFAK that covers the trauma and medical side of things th-cam.com/video/t9ko3dsHESk/w-d-xo.html Thanks for your comment!
@@StevanOutdoor Thanks! The whistle is on my belt for easy access. I removed the one in the kit as I felt it was redundant. I have a magnifying glass (glass only) in my fire kit! Thanks for watching and sharing!
I replaced my high powered flashlight with one of those crank lights. works flawlessly regardless of the temperature. Plus the exercise that it gives you keeps you warm. I used it on a recent trip to Ladakh in the Himalayas. I do have that flashlight, but I rarely carry it. The only time I need the flashlight is in the tent or just to see very short distances and this hand-crank flashlight does throw a good amount of light for at least 7-10 feet.
i like the pre threaded needle in a straw, i think i will try this with fishing line and seal up both sides of the straw for clean disinfected needle and thread if i have to do sutures as well as repairs.
UKG - Thank you for sharing your updated changes for your Jungle Emergency Kit. It's really important to periodically maintain, evaluate, and upgrade kit contents for optimal use (be it for a working kit or one that is set aside for emergency use). IMO, you made some well-thought-out choices for your kit. I like the switch from the Leatherman to the SAK (really nice scales, BTW). Great idea with the straw segment holder for the pre-threaded sail needle, which makes it neat, safe & easy to access. Like the removable reflective strip on the outer patch area, which gives you so many visibility options from finding the kit, signaling, etc. Are your water purification tablets protected from moisture/water? They looked to be in their original wrapping. I would probably put them in a small ziplock just for added protection (just in case the kit gets submerged in water or is affected in the long-term humidity of the jungle environment). All-around a great kit to pair with your IFAK and backpack. Happy Trails! 🇺🇸 🏕 🌲
👍 Interesting video. I carry a USGI Bag for “tools” and repair items ‘similar’ to the items Coalcracker Bushcraft carries in his tool kit - not the same, but close. I also carry a small bag whose contents ideas I stole directly from a similar bag described by Cody Lundin in his “98.6 Degrees” book - fire starting, water purification, cordage, signaling. Along with a first aid kit, my shelter, and sleep system these have worked well for for a number of years and are small and light weight.
I would suggest the following as a bare minimum for a jungle survival kit: 1. A decent parang (manchette) with a least a foot or more blade, which is slightly wider at the end to facilitate chopping which will be what it will be mainly used for. This is the only blade you will really need in the jungle. Anything smaller or multi-tool type is just too fragile and unable to stand up to multiple use. For instance, cut bamboo can be used as water and food containers, traps, cooking pots, spear, and so many more. 2. A waterproof container of salt, as much as you can reasonably carry. Salt has so many uses. Besides from replenishing salt lost due to excessive sweating, it is an antiseptic for cuts and wounds, seasoning for wild fish and game, cleaning your teeth, leech remover, and many more. Very, very important and useful. 3. Box of matches in a waterproof plastic bag. Don't even think of bringing any of those flint and steel fire starter. They look good, but when you have wet conditions in the jungle, which is often, nothing beats a proper flame to start a fire going when you need it quickly and without fuss. 4. Large waterproof poncho which acts to protect from rain and acts as an instant tent roof when you making a basha. 5. A multi-use survival blanket (not single use) which allows you to sleep with some comfort at nights. It can get very cold in the jungle.
@kokliangchew3609 Thanks for your comment. Yes, all your suggestions are essential for a Jungle loadout. But this small kit is meant to supplement the loadout. I shared my full loadout (at that time) previously earlier this year th-cam.com/video/YxUWJb9XUVM/w-d-xo.html
The kits great l would add fishing hooks and thread them on the safety pins, l would add a small bobbin of fishing line, 2 large nails and 6 washers for snare/ trap making and brass wire, l would add a condom for water carrying, these additional items would not take up too much more space. nice video.
I have the exotac ripspool which has needle, thread, and gaffer tape in one you can add extra needles and is not as easy to lose. For me I’d bin the power bank and just have a plb. If I’m in a “survival” situation where I can’t self rescue I’d just activate the plb. But that is here in Australia I don’t know how much of a response you’d get to one being activated in Malaysia.
I will check out the exotac ripspool. The power bank I'd important for me to recharge since I film content. But if I didn't and am outdoors longer, I will need it to charge the Garmin Inreach. A full charge only last 1.5 days if I have it on tracking. I'm not sure about Australia but in Malaysia, I think my direct messages from the satellite communicator to my designated contacts will yield faster results than the SOS channel. 🤣

Nice kit. I carr a loud whistle around my neck but also have a spare one in every kit. Also a foldable magnifying glass is useful.

Thanks for the suggestion for the Puri tabs. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@urbanknifeguy
Really enjoy your content.
Looking forward to more of your interesting & practical videos. 🙂
Nicely done. I think it’s very important for everyone to evolve their kits as we get smarter and learn from others in our community.
Well said!

Practical add on Survival kit for 2024: Gun, pepper spray/bear spray, smoke grenade, pocket baton, and trauma kit.
Since we are talking about practicality, we should include 1/4 lbs of C4. 😬
