My no.1 stocking filler would be a space blanket. I’ve not seen anyone mention this item. Besides sleeping, can be used to collect water and act as a massive light reflector, or even shield you from the sun, could be cut into strips, and probably many other uses I haven’t thought of. These things condense to about 2.5” square x 1/2” thick.
Great video, I think it's a pretty good kit. If I may suggest, you probably do want to add benadryl or something like that in case of an allergic attack. Been happy I carry it many times, normally for some one else. And a sock for water filtration.
Good stuff! I'm on the same page: organize. Like the fact that your kit includes things that just make you feel good in a dicey situation. Cheers from Montreal QC Canada
I keep my Beefy in my pack for my survival or get home kit. My mini stays in my pocket with my edc gear in it. Aquatabs are more compact and they protect against viruses where Potable Aqua does not. You should never stitch a wound on the field unles it is an absolute matter of life and death because of the risk of infection and potential gangrene. Use othe methods of holding a wound together such as gorila tape and allow for drainage and wait until you can get to a proper emergency facility to get stitches.
Nice little case! It's large enough to hold useful gear but small enough to always keep on you. One thing you should add that doesn't take a lot of space is an ORS of some sort. The WHS forumula Oral Rehydration Solution is a package of about an ounce that mixes with 1 liter of water. In conjuction with the immodium it can save your life if you .
Man that is such a good idea! I have been dehydrated recently and pedialite made a huge difference. I agree that hydration salts are a good add! Thank you for the comment and channel support:)
Pedialite sells little sleeves of powder. You can get Ceralyte (one of the best out there) in small little sleeves, too, they look like the Crystal Lite packets you see in stores. Trioral is also good and comes in sturdy pouches about 2"x3". You get dehydrated from diarrhea so a combination of immodium and ORS can really save your bacon. Next best thing to IV solutions. @@seawolf5908
Enjoyed the video but one small problem When in the woods and the stinky stuff hits the fan you need one item only, an EPLB Emergency Personal Locator Beacon. We have some new shit out now that is kick arse
I totally disagree with your statement regarding sewing someone up with copper wire or other thread. I consulted with both Military Field Doctors and local GP and Emergency Room Doctors. All said attempting to sew any one outside a sterile setting would likely result in fatal infection. Wipe the wound down with Betadine and then apply clean duct tape. Copper wire to make a compass???? I have to check this out.
*Various-Sized Safety Pins - Use as a fish hook (Add small strips of space blanket or other shiny object to lure fish) *Sewing Elastic - Use as a tourniquet or general-use cord *Knee-high hose or sections of panty hose - Use to filter water, strain food, coffee, tea, spices; Use as a bag to hold and hang up items (great for "soap-on-a-rope); Pot and utensil scrubber; Top band of hose = ponytail holder; Bundle items together; Use as a wash cloth; Wear under/over socks to keep feet warm; Use as padding around genitals to warm them and protect them from rough jeans; Wear over shoes to prevent slipping on ice; Fill with dirt/material/whatever to block cold drafts; Use to bait crabs: stuff with bait, run fishing line through bag, then secure line to tree, bush or whatever; crab claws will get tangled up in the hose mesh *Magnifying Glass - Fire starter; Improve eyesight for reading or removing splinters *Vaseline - Fire starter when rubbed on cotton ball or other tinder; Protect/seal small wounds; Skin moisturizer; Lubricate tools *Salt and Pepper - To save space can be placed into corner of ziplok bag then cut corner and tape shut *Single-Edged Razor Blade *Surgical Lancet *Aspirin (Salicylic Acid) 81mg chewable and/or 325mg - Prevent heart attacks, Reduce inflammation, Reduce Fever/Headache, Mix with water and apply to insect bites/stings, Drop two aspirins into a dead car battery to get one last charge, Place on a tooth cavity then bite down for almost instant but temporary relief from a throbbing toothache (Dentists say don't do this)
Quick question. Do you think this pouch will stretch enough to hold a 5" long Ultrafire XML T6 zoomable flashlight? At the top of the light, it flares out to 1.5" wide & this pouch says it's only 1" deep. It looks like these pouches expand a good amount. Thxs!!
Definitely a great great little bag. Awesome brand. With your little survival supplies, ummm, ...you're off to a decent start, buuuuut...I'd seriously suggest doin some good research on this subject and severely upgrading your gear in there!! If this little pack is your last stand kinda pack, this is the pack you're gonna wanna spend some major research and money on. Your life literally depends on it! About 3/4 of that pack is gonna fail you! Buy a good knife. $50-70 range, combat style and brand, Kershaw, SOG, Gerber, Benchmade etc. Definitely add a C.A.T. tourniquet! That band won't do anything for that. Keep the band, but for other uses. Get rid of those sanitizer packets. Sanitizer will only allow more germs to enter your body and can cause you to get an infection. Replace with alcohol wipes. That burning means it's killing germs Lol Add a packet of medical packing gauze and a wrap or pressure pack. Watch some videos by SkinnyMedic on medical stuff. Add a mini flashlight from like Streamlight, Thrunite, Olight...affordable and tough. Getta better pen for sure. I suggest two large Ziploc baggies folded up as tightly as you can for a water bag. Put one inside the other for double protection. Add a small tube of chapstick, Tylenol or Advil and also a military pill pack are very needed. Look into better emergency ration packets. Brain fartin them at the moment, but there's a million times better than those little chicken noodle packets! They're still add-to-water concepts, but they actually have essentials the body needs in those emergency situations. Keep the caffeine packets though. Those are good. Get rid of that little pillar tool thingy and find yourself a mini multi-tool/leatherman type tool. Even a $10 one! Hit up Wal-Mart and look at their off brands. The one I have is a Winchester brand. Came with a full-size one and it's about 2in long, 1-1.3in wide, but has been a God send ina few outdoor outings. I'll have to watch the video again cause I know there's things I'm forgettin... Lol
I truly do appreciate the feedback. I have added a streamlight since I made this video. I also have a medical kit that I carry with this that has an Isralea bandage. Ill have to post it. HEY, I would love to hear your feedback on this video that I put more time and money into and more medical--> th-cam.com/video/xjUDjvdYbM4/w-d-xo.html.
Seawolf Outdoors Definitely no problem man. Glad you didnt take it as im some keyboard warrior dick Lol Gotta couple ideas off of your setup too; such as the lighter AND fire starter (I've only gotta fire starter, but I'ma smoker too. Still good idea to carry a lighter in the pack), Emergen-C packs, dental floss, your water purifier (I carry iodine) and couple other things. Glad to hear you've since updated it. Look forward to seeing it later. I'll definitely take a look at your other video...
Great video and a great bag. Very clever with the contents you chose. May I ask what camera did you use for your video. I noticed the focus on that thing is insanely quick. Thanks.
Seawolf Outdoors Thanks for quick reply. I have the same phone and yes the camera on it is amazing. Well done again on a great video. Just recieved my Vanquest Mobius 2 and Huge organizer yesterday and ready both loaded. Your video game me few more ideas. Cheers.
Sorry, you had me interested until you said that you can signal with silver duck tape. That is just wrong information for people that have no experience in the outdoors.
Nice work. One thing I got in my kit is a couple table spoons instant rice and dried minced onion flakes. Add that to your soup stock with water and you have more calories and closer to a real meal! I carry an Emisar D4V2 as a main flashlight but I also have one of these hooked into my Maxpedtion mini www.amazon.com/Uniclife-Keychain-Flashlight-Ultra-Bright/dp/B07KS7MHRD/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=Keychain+Flashlight+LED&qid=1606104396&sr=8-7 These come with two CR2016 coin cells and make 12 lumens but they can also run on one CR2032 but with lower lumen and increased run time. I use mine with CR2032 and its about 3 lumen for about 30 hours and then its down to 1/2 lumen approx. Super good for taking hardly no space and looking at things in the bag at night as there is an on/off switch and also a momentary on. Carrying an extra battery takes no space but you need a little screw driver to change battery.
Very nice! That is a good point that if you had to get into this at night you should have a flash light. Thank you so much for watching. I really appreciate your feedback
Really like some of your ideas! The Glaring piece that is missing is having a flashlight. Great video!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your support.

Very nice kit! Would have liked to see a super small edc flashlight.
Keep the videos coming!
Very well made video. No wasting time.
Excellent survival pouch! Thank you for sharing!
I like the ramen packets. You have a good idea. Sodium will help with water retention and electrolyte balance along with morale!
Thank you. I really appreciate the comment:)

Gerber Dime or some version of Leatherman Squirt, Juice, or Micra

Add a small metal container to the kit for boiling water.(metal cup on the outside?) HD foil will work once but it is too fragile more than that.
rubber like the surgical tubing is best stored with some talcum powder.
it will last way longer that way. also good to keep sunlight away from it.
Nice kit!
Thank you so much! I hope that this was helpful to you.
Nice little kit. One thing you should add is super glue. A bandage will only hold so long.
Nice
If you keep it in your backpack then get separated from your backpack, how will you then have it with you?
Enjoyed the video but one small problem
When in the woods and the stinky stuff hits the fan you need one item only, an EPLB

Good vid, well. Well thought out bag 👍🏼
I’m gonna have to buy one of these!
+Blake Echols I love having it just as a peace of mind that you have so many tools with you all at once.
What colour is this?
*Various-Sized Safety Pins - Use as a fish hook (Add small strips of space blanket or other shiny object to lure fish)
*Sewing Elastic - Use as a tourniquet or general-use cord
*Knee-high hose or sections of panty hose - Use to filter water, strain food, coffee, tea, spices; Use as a bag to hold and hang up items (great for "soap-on-a-rope); Pot and utensil scrubber; Top band of hose = ponytail holder; Bundle items together; Use as a wash cloth; Wear under/over socks to keep feet warm; Use as padding around genitals to warm them and protect them from rough jeans; Wear over shoes to prevent slipping on ice; Fill with dirt/material/whatever to block cold drafts; Use to bait crabs: stuff with bait, run fishing line through bag, then secure line to tree, bush or whatever; crab claws will get tangled up in the hose mesh
*Magnifying Glass - Fire starter; Improve eyesight for reading or removing splinters
*Vaseline - Fire starter when rubbed on cotton ball or other tinder; Protect/seal small wounds; Skin moisturizer; Lubricate tools
*Salt and Pepper - To save space can be placed into corner of ziplok bag then cut corner and tape shut
*Single-Edged Razor Blade

Thank for this very detailed list. I appreciate you adding this to the community
@@seawolf5908 Glad to add them! Take care!
You could add a bit of toilet paper. 10 sheets rolled up takes up zero space and weighs nothing. Butt, you're going to love that you had it.
Lol yeah that’s a good idea. I keep a Dude wipe on me at all times. Nice thing about toilet paper is that it is flammable.
Quick question. Do you think this pouch will stretch enough to hold a 5" long Ultrafire XML T6 zoomable flashlight? At the top of the light, it flares out to 1.5" wide & this pouch says it's only 1" deep. It looks like these pouches expand a good amount. Thxs!!
Hey Nick. As far stretching to hold 1.5” diameter yes I do. The 5” though you may have to put the flash light in there diagonally.
Seawolf Outdoors thanks!

Now , All you need is a small flash light ✨ with extra batteries 🔋and you will have everything, besides toothache medicine 💊and benadryl

U need a bandanna too
Yeah I agree! Thanks for the suggestion
Caffeine supplements are not a good idea uin a survival situation. Caffeine promotes dehydration.
I put them in there for mental focus but I agree if you don’t have access to water then caffeine wouldn’t be good
you're gonna signal with silver duck tape.... ? yeah ok..
All they had to do was kill Gilligan.
