I love this kit, have one for me and one each for my sons. Also have their larger survival kit, fire starting kit and mini stove. Great company, highly recommended. Thanks for the video.
Small knife, cotton balls, small bit steel wool, storm matches, purification tablets, 3 condoms, beef stearate candle, torch, needle and thread and a button compass. After 30 years of wandering these are the only things I ever used. everything else I found to be dead weight. Found a neat little wind up torch that was lighter than my mini Maglite and almost as bright.
If you heat a needle up it can be pushed into the wax candle as can a scalpel blade, you can also wrap snare wire around the candle also you can have some sticking tape wrapped around that , the signal mirror can also be used to hold pre made fishing rigs or hook to nylon simply notch the mirror or debit card top and bottom and wind you’re rigs around the card, you can also purchase a debit sized fresnel lens they are excellent for fire starting. You can also stick a small fridge magnet inside the tin or cut a piece of strip magnet to fit the outside of the tin it’s always useful especially if you loose you’re compass, you have a magnet to magnetise you’re needle 😉
Don't get me started, I think I may know why! Shipping it in the UK, many companies now will not ship anything with a blade in it, in case it goes to a kid. It is all silly law nonsense bs. Royal Mail now you cannot even ship a swiss army knife. They call it a "bladed article" they won't ship it! It is taking the piss! I could be wrong, but that is the current state of play for normal posting. You then have to use couriers, but its more expensive.
In some very specific situations this would be better than having nothing, but to be honest, after years of thinking about these types of kits I come to the conclusion that pocket survival kits are dead weight and may even be harmful as it gives a false sense of preparedness and almost always just a waste of money. Id recommend adding water purification tablets
