SAS Survival Kit

In this video we look at the survival pouch shown in Lofty Wiseman’s SAS Survival Guide and some of the contents. I then take you through my version, mad 35 years later and using easily available contents, to create a smaller & lighter version.

Lofty's "The SAS Survival Handbook" in hardback was my bible back in the 80's when I was a teenager - it was always at my bedside (that and a copy of Smash Hits featuring Kylie Minogue obviously)! 😁

Lofty and his wife visited my mum every single night when she had a breakdown not just a sas survival legend but A real genuinely nice person both him and his wife I haven't seen his son David for years but he was same as well all real nice people!!

Watching your video and glanced up at my bookshelf to see the original book poking out at me. It's a beast of a book not just in content but in size. I labeled my copy with surname and reggie number and just noticed how many of us old knackers commenting here still use our last four as part of our email addresses...yourself included😂😂😂

Great video and great revamp on the good old tobacco tin. Brought back memories and placed some orders on amazon for 3 items i don't carry but probably should.

That little folding blade with tweezers you can glue a small ferro rod on the back spine of the folding cutter blade and use 90 degree spine of tweezers to use as a striker very compact

Excellent video! I cut off a thin strip of fine grain sanding paper for my tin and stuck it to the inside lid. Can be used well to strike a match, and also good for filing down finger nails if they become pulled and things start snagging on them.

Great kit. Like the tin foil suggestion and the improvised bellows.

I've read the SAS survival handbook 4 times. I've read other books but nothing and I mean nothing comes close to this book in the amount of useful info provided. Thanks for this informative video. Please keep up the good work.

Well played. Mr. Wiseman is one of the iconic figures in the survival field, to be sure. I've been a long time devotee, as well as Bradford Angier & Townsend Whelan, Mors Kochanski, and several others. Thanks for your perspective!

Good video. One of the 6 inch nails can also be made into a spear barb very easily .I did this years ago while on a hunting trip to Stewart Island (New Zealand). A small fire a bit of beating with an axe head for shaping etc. speared a few flounder and one cod with it. Also in another hunting trip in the north Island I sharpened both ends of a nail , tired some string to the middle

[@daleweller5193]

On the lighter. Add 20 ft of fishing line, and 2 small hooks to the end of the tape.

Neil this is a Great video ! I can’t wait to see the over night video using the kit. Thanks for sharing.

[@zoltannagy2920]

Excellent tribute to Lofty Neil, Thank You !!!

[@Spockfucious]

Excellent breakdown of the kit.

[@insoleandlaces]

Great info many thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've gone with storm matches as I found Bic and similar "flint and wheel" hate rain and wet hands. I also have one compeed.

[@MartiniDave02]

Great video, very thought provoking.

I built a similar grab and go / survival pouch. Really useful to know there's a just one lump to carry that's the base of all other load outs. From belt pouch to haversack to pack. That thing's helped me out of a few situations from ordinary to nearly serious. I used a swiss army canteen cup (small) inside a nylon drawstring bag. Bag's great to avoid having to repack inside the cup until I get home. Most used items: back up small headlamp, sweets, caffeine pills, cord and knife. Least used bulkiest item is a PLB. Weight ~560g

Great kit.

[@graemesaunderson4218]

Thanks mate, great idea with the nails.Multifunctional items are essential to justify their weight in the kit .Great wee video. ATB
