    Thanks for the kit info. Swiss Safe has a mini gold blanket in their pack of 4. It's thicker but smaller. I covet those for some reason. If you're dressed right, all you need is a ferro rod, smart water bottle or bag and a couple of purification tabs to spend some pretty sweet time overnight.

    I totally enjoyed your presentation. I’ve had the same container for close to two years and haven’t updated it. Your rope concept is a great idea and very functional. I will now review my container and style it after your design. Thanks for a great presentation.

    The little pouches that you chose are Condor I Pouch…I have a few of them myself and they’re perfect for a pocket, belt or a bag. Great contents. Thanks for sharing. Take care and God bless.

    A great survival kit. So glad you included a whistle , there have been cases in the Highlands of Scotland of lost folk being unable to attract rescuers because they have shouted themselves hoarse and didn't have a whistle.

    Great little kit. You can make that mylar blanket smaller by folding in half and if you have a food saver make a small bag and it sucks down very small, works well.

    If you are interested in significantly improving your kit without too much extra expence or bulk, here are a couple suggestions: 1) consider a small water filter so you can drink on the go. My favorite are the sawyers but I carry in my pocket kit an aquamira frontier. It is good for 30 gals. and super compact if you trim down the straw. 2)I also carry an extra water bag container, marked at 1 litre with some purification tabs . The aquapouch from survival resources is a bit pricier but more durable than the whirlpac you currently have. 3) For a better knife, consider the old mora 2.0? ( a tiny thin mora with a tang going all the way through the handle.) if you want a nice upgrade.I did a video of my pocket hiking kit if you want any other ideas. Overall, a nice little kit you have. Enjoy your NewYear! Thanks for posting.

    A few thoughts, bro...carrying water in that WhirlPak bag could be an iffy situation if you don't have something else to put it in...like an old sock, or a pouch. I've used them many times and they hold up well, but transporting them is a challenge. I have used a silnylon drawstring bag that has a couple of belt loops sewn on it. Let me know if you come up with anything novel.
    The necklace concept is solid and time-tested. I keep a neck knife, whistle and ferro rod on me whenever I'm in the woods.
    I use a Maxpedition Mini organizer for my pocket kit; fits perfectly in the cargo pockets of my favorite hiking pants and shorts.
    SOL makes a heavy duty Mylar sheet that is both larger and sturdier than the normal ones. Since it serves as a primary cover, the extra size and durability are welcome. I repackaged it in a vacuum sealed bag and it shrinks down nicely.
    I like the lumber crayon. I will have to see if I can liberate one from Home Depot or somewhere.
    I also include pre-rigged fish hooks, with leaders and crimp weights already in place. I do though carry 50' of 20 lb. test braided line. I wouldn't want to rely on dental floss, strong as it is. I include a small, light plastic disgorger as well. Takes up little room and makes life easier. The only other food acquisition element in my kit is 50' of 30AWG stainless wire.
    I never go back country without a map! I have my mobile phone loaded with offline topo maps of my entire range, and I carry a small power bank that gives me the battery life for most of my trips, up to a week (there are modifications to the phone and its apps that reduce power consumption when not in normal civilized use). Of course, I print out hard copies of the expected range for each trip. Part of my expedition EDC is a set of ranger beads along with a good lensatic compass.
    I have carried a Streamlight Nano for years! Great little light!
    Have you looked at Hill People Gear's website? Great gear discussion and a lot of great educational videos. Google it!
    Thanks for your effort and your videos, and thanks for the discussion...

    Great kit. Maybe add a small ranger band. You could use that to wrap around and tidy up the items on the necklace, and it would then give you something to burn also.

  • @richardshawver7264
    @richardshawver7264 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A nicely thought out kit.
    But a few Ideas. Seal Your Altoids can with a ranger band. Place it around the outside the way you originally had the tape. It will cover the hinge holes and the rim. Making a fairly water tight seal. It is reusable and in a pinch be used as a fire extender.
    Water bag. In most Grocery produce sections have very compact plastic bags. One can be folded up very small and placed in the Altoids tin as an emergency backup water bag. It can be pre-marked with levels for water purification tabs. Folded it is smaller than the oft touted condom without popping like a balloon.
    Don't Die in the woods have a 4 pack of 5 X 7 of emergency blankets for about $25. Each in a cloth bag that looks a lot like the tobacco pouch seen in a lot of old westerns.

    Dummy cording essential gear is important. With that Kevlar cordage, I’d thread the necklace through the center hole and have that secure as well. I edc a couple of chums surf wallets with gear (cordage, ferro rod, meds, etc.) in my front pockets and have nbr 12 bank line loops attached long enough to larks head it through my belt if needed.

    • @hdbodie2395
      @hdbodie2395 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Something to add regarding dummy cording critical gear. I’ve always tried to have in my EDC gear enough small cordage for this purpose. Seen to many Alone series candidates fail by losing critical gear. The struggle was with the Bic lighter for me. I finally solved that problem today with no mods to the lighter. Part of my cordage is #12 bank line. Obviously a Canadian jam knot just under the fuel button works and still usable. However today I tried using a prussik knot but it was loose unless under slight strain. To address that I included the soft shackle larks head loop to secure it. Works really well to keep the prussik knot from sliding and still have a loop to attach a carabiner, thread through a survival necklace, etc. I used 22” of #12 bank line.

    • @clivedunning4317

      Have to strongly agree with you on this subject. Put every item of kit that you can on a lanyard. This diminishes the chance of losing a vital piece of equipment , at night, when tired or having a headache or injury. Can also be a source of cordage in an emergency.

    Pocket kits are like knives, what is good for my pocket may be too large for another's pocket (I did find an ESEE Rat 3 makes a fine pocket knife). You mention hard and soft cases, the tin kit of mine you commented on also has a soft version (both based on Doug Ritter kits with add-ons) in a tough plastic pouch but made to work with my EDC so this soft kit could be worn with a suit. I don't make videos but love watching other's videos to pick up tips and tricks. I always had some kind of kit but really got into them from John McCann's book on the subject. For outdoor jackets I love ones that have four outside pockets and one inside, you can turn them into survival kits. Thanks for sharing all your kits. For those who carry sheets of paper, sandwich your mirror and fresnel lens to keep them from being scratched by other objects in your kit.

    Interesting kit and video.
    Just wondering. Did you build your survival kit according to the environment in which you'll most likely have to use it? Example: If you live in a city, or the country, or maybe in the middle of nowhere on top of a mountain, etc. , or the location you live in ( The North, South, East or West, middle America etc. ?

    I don't know...with the survival cord and pre strung fish hooks one might set up a trout line and then decide to stay lost. It might be detrimental to rescue if the survival kit is too good. It could lead to a feral lifestyle. Maybe include a photo of your own warm dry bed as incentive to actually seek rescue. I jest but the reality is that you put on a very good series about survival kits. The only reason I joked a bit about it was I was at a loss for words you having covered all the bases.

    I think I have come to a slightly different approach to survival kits...I was in the British Army reserves for many years and also an avid deer stalker and fisherman.
    I think the first thing you have to do is be honest, and decide what the most likely scenarios are that you are going to face..An Alaskan bush pilot is going to need a much different kit to me...I will never need a military style escape and evasion kit and nor am I going to end up fishing or trapping to survive. My main scenarios are getting lost, getting injured or getting shut down by the weather...
    My kit is a bit larger than yours, but I wanted something that fitted into a rucksack pocket..Rather than a pouch, mine fits in a Trangia small mess tin which only 6" long...I have ditched the mylar survival blanket as in windy wet weather, they are just about useless. Instead I have gone with an SOL bivvy bag as it is something I can actually get into...
    Gone too is the button compass...if you ever need a compass in an emergency, a button compass is the last thing you want! Instead I went with a Silva Type 27 Ranger..the USMC must have had the same thought as they used to issue a small base plate Brunton compass called something like "Compass, Smoke Chaser" in their large two pouch survival kits....The Silva Type 27 is still relatively small, but a lot more useable than a button compass. I have a proper glass signal mirror, a small windproof gas lighter, and lots of cotton wool balls soaked in petroleum jelly..My whistle has a small ferro rod on the side and includes a striker as back up...
    For a torch, I have a single AA type that gives out 50 lumens with a long life battery in it.....I am not totally happy with it, but given the restrictions due to the size of the tin it's the best I can do....
    Getting back to signaling, I have a civilian version of the ACR Firefly Strobe, again with long life batteries, plus a 2' square fluro yellow marker panel in a very light weight sinylon..
    Those are the major items but I have other minor things to like plasters, pencil/paper and Imodium ect. I have a couple of zip lock bags for water, but I prefer the one you are using...
    The one thing I just can't fit inside the tin is a mossy net, and I know from bitter experience that is essential in the Scottish mountains in summer, but it just won't fit.
    The other item I really wanted to fit in was a power bank and lead to charge my phone but again I run out of space..I could go to a full size mess tin but I am trying to avoid that...

    I don't like your kit at all. You have too many items and you suppose too much. For instance, you assume you are in the field. But what if your environment is more Urban? Where is your cash? You also assume it is a warm climate with your mosquito net but what if it's snowing and you are in a cold climate or the mountains?
