Between Walmart and Amazon that's where I go to get people started on their survival gear and bug out bag. It's amazing how many people are still so clueless and unprepared for survival and when the crap hits the fan. I have been teaching survival skills and prepping in my area for a while now. These days everyone needs to be prepared and ready for what is coming in this country. Thanks for making your videos and sharing information and knowledge with people. God bless you brother!
Also if some people are on a even tighter budget buying some of these items out of camping season can get them on clearance
That depends on where they are located. Here in Florida for example, there are no clearances on camping and outdoor gear because we can hunt, fish, and camp year round.
I would add Ozark trail mess kit, woobbie, and the emergency blanket
I know this is about buying from Walmart but i would try to find one of those Bundeswehr sleeping pads to go with the rucksack. I wonder if there is a comercial equivalent for it?
Use a blow up pool float to sleep on. Right now can find some marked down 50% or more.
Brother good video and for those who don't have the funds to go all out you really laid the foundation for a good economical BOB.
The BIGGEST issue is most of those cheap chinese tools will break in short order. They aren't a good choice. Instead of getting a cheap tool kit with axe, knife, etc. you should buy a quality knife and hatchet. Save a up little more money and buy a Gerber knife and hatchet. Yes they are more money but you will be up a certain creek without a hatchet when the Chinese crap from Ozark Trail breaks on you and leaves you without anything.
Decent kit for a starter. I know a lot if people will bash it. They're absolutely correct. However, as a starter kit, at the price, it's hard to beat. YES, ANY ONE, EVERY ONE of the items could be improved on, once they get experience and know what they like. However, as a starting kit, it's hard to beat.
Unfortunately alot of the good gear is near impossible to find nowadays.
I think it's the redundancies that bug me. I'd wager you put that kit in front of any of us and we'd get rid of at least 75% of it.
Also, just because you're in WM f doesn't mean you have to buy OT. I'd never get one of their headlamps unless or was cheaper than just buying batteries. But they've got Energizer headlamps that ate much better fir only a few dollars more. They're not Nitecore, but what good is a bad headlamp.
Thar first aid kit is like microcosm of the bag. You're paying $9 for a bunch of stuff you won't need, rather than just using a baggie full of things from home. Then again, I guess the purpose was to assume you have absolutely nothing.
Improve it then. Stop being a poon
Starter and last ditch "oh god i left my bugout bag at home" back up kit
The best gear is the gear you can afford. When SHTF I would be proud to have a kit like this because itll get me home.
I've seen hacks with the insulated bottles where they just drill a hole in the outer layer and you can boil it without exploding
drilling the hole will eliminate the pressure but will still insulate the inside from the fire and will take about four times as long to get the water to boil.
@@lesliemiller5790 just use mine like a canteen
Or you go ahead and use that Stanley kit yo boil, like God intended.
Scored a Gregory Jade 60 pack at Goodwill for $5. Nothing wrong with it. Then I looked in an overlooked pocket and there was a ferro rod and Silwa compass. That pack retailed new at $340. Heck the compass is 3x what I paid.
Listen - a few weeks back I decided I wanted a mess kit. I did my research and decided I wanted a GSI Outdoors Glacier One Person Mess Kit. So I went online and checked South African prices. Hmmph - R809! I am a South African Pensioner but I get out in the bush a lot because I do bird photography and live in a caravan. But R809... Anyway, here where I live there is a TOTALLY MAGICAL second-hand shop. I've bought LOADS of stuff there. And about a week after sighing regretfully over the Glacier kit I went into this shop as I always do when I'm in the town and started snooping around. And there in a dark corner on a table was a box. I pulled it towards me and opened it and knock me down with a stone block of wood if it wasn't a Glacier Mess Kit! The box was shabby and dusty but the stuff inside was still sparkling brand new and in its separate plastic bags and the pot grabber was still wrapped and sticky-taped. I think Bill had just opened the box to check if everything was inside. And everything WAS. The two metal pan halves, the little blue Cascade mug and Cascade bowl and the potgrabber and black net bag. A really top quality net bag as tough as they come. And what did they want for it? R120! In American Dollars that works out at $6!
Walmartians 😭😂
My dad calls them "Wal-nuts" 😂
Those hand-made knives look real nice and I'd love to have one, but no way I'm paying $300-500 for a knife. I'll stick to my old buck knife. Thanks for showing us the options for us on a budget.
Buck is a good quality brand.
I loved the video.😂
I would've mixed Walmart with Goodwill store budget Bug out bag.
Love my man EJ!!
You won't be getting much heirloom-quality stuff out of a Walmart bugout bag shopping adventure, but some of that stuff is surely good enough to keep you out of trouble for a few days in the event that a natural disaster chases you out of your home.
I snagged one of those Ozark Trails hatchet-and-knife-and-survival-tool sets in black on clearance several years ago, and it's not bad stuff for what it is: you can definitely get better tools separately, especially if you spend a little more, but it's hard to beat this set on a budget with very little time to work with, especially on clearance (I think I paid about 10 bucks for it at the time, and kinda wish I'd added a spare!) The flashlight and carabiners seem a bit light-duty but fair enough for the budget, but I think the biggest weak spot is that hatchet: it's not very substantial, and you'll probably get a workout chopping light kindling with it. But the knife seemed to be pretty good for what it is, the paracord and fire striker and sharpening stone are solid, and I have no real complaints about the mini-machete/hand-saw tool for what it is. Over all, a fine place to start building your own bugout bag, and it might be your best budget bang-for-the-buck in your shopping cart!
I think the folding saw could be considered redundant if you have the machete-saw combo from the Ozark Trail set, and you might find a slightly cheaper folding saw in a different department of Walmart in the section that sells yard tools, but the folding saw seems like a solid saw option anyway. Much the same can be said for the multi-tool: Perhaps redundant to the knives and such in the Ozark Trails boxed set, but it seems solid for what it is, and makes a welcome backup option and all-in-one tool kit. I also like the magnesium fire-starter as a backup to the ferro-rod, maybe not a bad idea to bundle it with the survival matches and tinder to go with the magnesium starter in a little fire kit.
At the other end of the spectrum, I'm not entirely convinced by the survival whistle/compass/thermometer: pretty much every half-serous budget survival kit comes with a little plastic whistle that I'm going to bet probably gets the job better than that monster, you can (and did) get a better stand-alone compass, and I can't think of too many situations where I was in the woods and thought, "gee, I wonder what the temperature is, and whether it's cold enough to wish I wore a jacket, or hot enough that I regret wearing this flannel shirt? If only I had a thermometer to find out!" A stand-alone survival whistle to hang from your backpack zipper or something with your signal mirror will probably get you a little further here, I think.
Similarly, I've never really seen stellar results from cheap wire saws, either: they always seem flimsy, easy to break, and a lot of work to get much good from... your mileage may vary, but I'd take a little convincing.
The fishing kit, sewing kit, snare wire, and slingshot are some items that might get neglected in cheap survival kits, and I generally put a mini pill-bottle-sized sewing/fishing kit together myself with just a handful of small items, as I'm not sure I'll ever need full-sized kits, so these might be just a bit more than needed if you already have a fishing tackle box and sewing kit to loot a few items from. Some dollar stores sell pre-threaded needles as simple and inexpensive alternatives to travel sewing kits, and I like these: you can probably find good uses for threaded needles in an emergency, but the thimbles, scissors, seam-rippers, and other sewing items are a bit more than really needed! ~15 feet of fishing line, a couple small hooks, a lure or two, and some small weights and a float are likely more than most emergency kits will need... it's maybe not a bad idea to toss a razor blade into your kit as well as a backup cutting tool for small repairs and whatnot. A pocket-sized lay-flat packet of duct tape is nice for small repairs, bandages, and other tasks to keep with your fishing/sewing/repair stuff, and I like to include a little black vinyl electrical tape as well. A few small twist-ties and zip-ties are nice addiitons, usually included in pre-made survival kits, or alternatively used as packaging for small items (I like to save that sort of thing when I see it in packaging, just for this purpose.) No harm on the sewing and fishing kits, though - they're easily broken up to the bare minimal items for your repair/fishing kit, to save on weight and space. If you've already got more full-size repair, sewing, and fishing kit options at home, I'd skip buying these extra! (And hey - if you DO decide to buy and lug a full fishing kit with you, those lead sinker weights ought to make decent slingshot bullets, while the fishing line and sewing thread are useful for combining with your bear-bell security system so you don't have to tear up your paracord....)
The slingshot is a nice touch, and maybe a little fishing and slingshot hunting aren't a bad way to keep busy and out of mischief so that boredom, despair, and panic don't get a chance to set in while in an emergency! Speaking of morale, it's probably not a bad idea to get one of those decks of survival playing cards, if you can find some in your Walmart: these cards, made by different manufacturers of this sort of gear, usually are printed with survival tips on the playing cards, such as how to identify useful or dangerous plants, how to tie knots, how to use your emergency gear, and so on - these are great to have around, and a game of cards with your family is a great way to keep them from getting demoralized while waiting out a disaster. A survival handbook ought to work, too, if you can find one. Otherwise, a quick trip to the toys and games department can probably land you some inexpensive playing cards, dice, or at least a fidget-toy or two....
You might want to snag a little notepad and pen from the school/office supply aisle, for making notes, to keep near your compass for calculations, directions, etc. (Better than nothing, though I think I'd be happier upgrading to a little weatherproof notepad and write-anywhere pen where I can!)
If you don't already have some at home, a box of zip-seal baggies from the kitchen aisle will supply you with a bunch of light, cheap, water-resistant storage pouches to organize stuff in your pack with!
A lot of the rest of the stuff may or may not be redundant - that's a lot of different paracord options on that table! - but none of it seems to stand out as particularly exciting nor disappointing as beginner camping/hunting/bugout/survival gear: things like the ponchos and space blankets are ubiquitous in inexpensive survival kits and these seem pretty much standard... the tent seems adequate for a basic shelter... you can probably find better-stocked first aid kits but that one seems fine for ordinary outdoors boo-boos, bumps, bruises, scrapes, and scratches... the water filter seems like a nice enough find but I've never actually tried one of those in the wild... the backpack seems like a nondescript mid-range choice that probably isn't the best bag you could have bought but certainly gets the job done cheaply... the headlamp is a decent enough lighting option...
A couple possible stinkers there, but overall, you can do a lot worse than building your own survival kit with Walmart junk, and a few of those items are actually not half-bad - the OT hatchet-knife-etc. boxed set is still my favorite bit of Walmart kit!
Cool video. Will you do a bug out video with your new kit? What do you think of Ozark Trail products?
I think the OT Quest 29L backpack is the best WM value for a pack.
For a flat compass I get the cheap Coughlan one. But I get it at Bass Pro. That way I can lay a more expensive Silva one on the floor and keep putting Coughlan ones next to it until I find one pointing the same direction. 😅
I always like recommending getting snell hooks. They are hooks that already have a length of fishing line attached. If you are in a bad situation they can be extremely helpful and much easier to attach to your paracord.
Particularly if your hands are cold!
@@susanp.collins7834 TRUTH! It is almost impossible to tie fishing line when your hands are freezing cold and shaking.
AWESOME video! Thanks!
Walmart charges different prices for items in different departments. The tarp and cordage maybe 😊cheaper in hardware.
great info thanks
That was a good Video thanks for sharing.
You obviously feel the same way as I do about the public - you go out in public and the public is there!
Alright EJ 👍 you got a way better Walmart then I have by me . They don’t have half the items yours does that being said excellent video sir.
This isn't a normal Walmart. His is a superstore. Basically the biggest Wally world store design.
This same set is $34.97 at our Wally World
And after the video concluded he packed it all back in his car and took all that back to Walmart for return. 😂
That's what we would have done... but he kept it all 😂
There was a time I use to buy these kind of kits from Walmart kind of stores for my Bug out bags and Bushcrafting. It all started with those metal cards that have a lot of things attached to it. Over the years, I've discarded all that and have built my own Bugout bag with some good quality items bought over the years, so it's not that hard on my pocket. These kits you get on Walmart are good for a short time. Will even help you survive for a few days, but for long term, build a good quality kit. Especially knife, cook set and shelter.
Agreed. The cheap gear is cheap quality and will break or wear out fast. They are also hard to maintain due to lower quality steel.
I'd lean toward building a quality kit from the start.
Get the handful of items you actually might need on the cheap just to have something, but don't waste $5 here or there, when you are just going to spend 3x-4x on it down the very short road. Most of the GOOD stuff isn't really what I'd call expensive anyway, depending on how stupid someone wants to get regarding the knife. A good upgrade from the tarp should probably only really run about $50. A really good headlamp probably $35.
Throw out all the superfluous stuff and redundancies here, and how much more would you need to spend on a decent setup, really?
I can't wait to see the video on these items in the field, maybe a 7 day challenge.
That wire saw breaks very fast
I personally would hit up an Army/Navy surplus store. I bet you can find MUCH better options, which are combat tested and MUCH MUCH higher quality and durability that that chinese garbage walmart brands ozark trail. I love the concept of budget bugout bags, but as someone on a low income who also has experienced Ozark Trail equipment failures (like a tent lasting only 3 days and a hatchet snapping at the top of the handle where the head tapers) I realized I will never again buy cheap junk.
I buy one or two quality items a month to add to the kit. So far I have a large ALICE pack with frame and shelf, a Ka-Bar knife $85, Estwing hatchet $35, Bacho Laplander saw $35, etc... If you piece it together over a longer period of time you can build out a kit that will last for generations.
First thing to upgrade is the pack. Budget gear = bulkier and heavier gear. Nothing wrong with that but you’re gonna need a larger pack to carry it all. For $10 more you can get the Outdoor Products Arrowhead 8.0 or Arrowhead Mammoth, both of which have over 50% more capacity at 47.5L for like $38. I use budget gear myself. But I have a budget 55L pack to carry it all (Teton Sports Scout 3400 for $49.99 from Bass Pro or Cabela’s). That may not sound like a budget price but it really is for a 55L pack. Amazon charges $79.99 for it but Cabela’s has it in Coyote Tan for $49.99+tax+$5 shipping, comes out to about $58 total with my state’s 6% sales tax, and worth every penny). My sleeping bag alone occupies 16.6L inside my pack. Speaking of sleeping bags, the Ozark Trail 35 degree Cool weather mummy ranges from 24.99 to $34.99 depending on the time of year when you buy it. You can find cheaper sleeping bags online but you are taking a risk with the Chinese companies. At least the OT bag is decent gear for the price. I have a friend who is a Walmart employee, so I get her discount plus a 5% rebate at Walmart when I pay with my CapitalOne card. So I’m saving about 8% on camping gear. Every lil bit helps.
Great video SGM!! Gimlets!!
I work for Walmart, going on 10 years (maintenance supervisor).
There are some things you got that are fine.
For instance, the backpack: it's a good value for what it is- a basic backpack. I have one that I got 5 years ago (I used to walk 45 minutes plus to work) it'll hold more than it looks like it will & though I now have a bigger pack that I use, that one is STILL in good shape, just showing some normal wear & tear, I still use it as a range bag.
The camping kit? Not so sure of. Certainly not for heavy usage. The flashlight in it is a good deal, as is the knife & ferrous rod. The cordage is ok, too. The hatchet's okay for light stuff.
The multitool: WORTH THE MONEY! I use mine every damn day- at work & at home.
The compass: meh...buyer beware. My son bought one, it kinda works if you're not needing accuracy. His lasted about a week. First time he dropped it.
Water purification: yup, it works.
I believe you also picked up a folding saw. I have one, also store-used one at work. It'll do the job.
The 1st aid kit is also good. It's not a fully stocked IFAK, but for basic 1st aid for less than serious injuries, it's exactly what you need to have on hand to spare your IFAK till it's needed.
I could go on ad infinitum, but this is long enough already. My point is we have some stuff that's worth the money, especially if you're on a tight budget till you can upgrade & a lot of it is great as backups. But still, buyer beware, not necessarily meaning anything bad, just think 1st what application all this stuff is gonna be used for, durability etc...
Will most of it get you through in the short-term? Yeah, most of it will. But in the long term, maybe, maybe not.
I would've damn sure picked up the mess kit, though.
Great video, keep up the good work.
Walmart employees know some Latin ? 🤷♂️
😆😉👍
I think the OT Quest backpack is the best WM value for a pack. For compass I still get the Coughlan one. But I get it at Bass Pro. That way I can lay a more expensive Silva one on the floor and keep putting Coughlan ones next to it until I find one pointing the same direction. 😅
We have also been making our own "MRE's" here at home. Custom made for our own needs.
8:37 haha u wernt lying about the walmartians
The machete has a saw on it already so a folding saw isn’t necessary. If this a “get home” bag for your car, you want it as light as possible, redundant tools are not necessary. Think about walking home from where you work, and plan your bag from that. Overall some good items though!
Unfortunately the saw on the machete is complete garbage, as is just about every item in that kit 😆 that’s the very bottom of the barrel budget bag if you have no other choice. 100% agree about being as light as possible, but it also depends on your skillsets and having an adequate P. A. C. E. Plan
I just found this video I am learning how to build my first bug out bag thanks fore the advice your a big help to me I look foward to watching more of your videos love to you and yours frome paul in p.a I hope the sub helps your channel
You can find cheaper more comprehensive first aid kits in the pharmacy dept. Although a DIY is the best thing to do. Know exactly what you have and learn how to use it all.
Absolutely make your own. And I asked an EMT friend what he'd add, and the first thing was a scissors. I carry one there, and have a redundant one in a Victorinox SD Mini that I either have in the pack or hanging from my neck.
I really Enjoy Watching Your Videos You Are More Infomative Than Others But Show A Video Please How To Make An A Frame Shelter. Please❤❤😂 God Bless You And Keep Up The Beautiful Work On Videos You Are Amazing❤
8:20 is so funny
Wonderfull
Great video. However, the Sawyer squeeze doesn't filter giardia. I've seen testimonials about how people get Giardia from the Sawyer filter. A great reason for water purification tablets. I'd recommend aqua water tablets, the two pack. Still great video
All the testing shows 99.99% for Giardia, but it varies by how bad the water is, + a few of other factors. I’d love to see the testimonials backed by post-testing, and detailed usage information. Otherwise it’s hard to say whether or not it was the filter itself. Other factors include people using those filters in the winter in the membrane can crack and you wouldn’t even know it. We normally boil, or use the Grayl geopress. Boiling throughout the Winter no matter what. Tablet wait times are annoying for us personally, and they don’t do anything for clarity & taste
I saw The video of how someone got giardia from a Sawyer filter here on TH-cam, I'll try and find it i saw it was a hikers video who said his friend got giardia while hiking in the backwoods of eastern USA. The Sawyer is good and while purifying tablets take a while i believe about 50 minutes. 30 for the iodine to dissolve and then their are the aqua two pack purification tablets where indeed they take awhile. But their is a second tablet that takes 20 minutes to dissolve or about 15 minutes. The geopress is very impressive and i like it personally i prefer the survivor pro water pump. That gets everything down to 0.05 micron's of all bacteria and germs like giardia. And can filter 50,000 gallons of water even out of standing water like a muddy pond!! The Sawyer wouldn't filter that at all. It wouldn't filter out the germs down to 0.05 microns. All water born bacteria is about 1 micron or a little less, i believe. I May be wrong. But from testimonials and things I've read the Sawyer doesn't work all the time like you said it can freeze or crack. Especially if you put it in a bug out bag. Just as. It's often faulty and not all that tough and has issues when filtering i really don't trust it. I'd recommend like you say the geopress or the survivor pro water pump. Thanks for talking to me, regards
@jmora1914 We haven’t tried the survivor pro yet, maybe that’ll be in a future video. Looking at the specs, the survivor pro pump is the same .1 micron, not .05. Typically filters can be between .5 - .1 and filter out all bacteria, etc. typical bacteria cells range from 1-10 microns long and .2-1 micron wide. So the Sawyer pore sizing should be plenty sufficient, but you can’t exactly verify if the membrane has been damaged, or that it was back flushed enough over time. Damage can’t be seen, especially cracking from weather. We’re definitely not experts in the science though.
We prefer the Grayl when we’re not boiling. It doesn’t use micron size like they others, but removes sub-micron contaminates using electroadhesion and ion exchange.
I did another research about the Survivor Pro water filter pump. It gets all bacteria out and filters down to 0.01 microns of Al bacteria and diseases like Giardia and amebas and germs. I'd definitely recommend you do a test of the Survivor Pro pump not the straw. The pump weighs about 7 or 8 oz and while it's not that heavy I've gotten my fully stocked 72h bug out bag down to 36 lbs with 3.78lbs of food from my homemade MREs plus some mainstay emergency rations that weigh 1.03lbs. So my two days of complete changes of clothes, fire kit, first aid kit, water system and 1.5 lbs of datrex water, 3 days of homemade MREs and emergency rations, maps, compass, self-defense tools ( non-lethal practical weapons) as I don't believe in killing or violence. But I do believe in defending myself with extreme skills and I know how to use my self-defense tools extremely well. In my youth, before I learned about the true God of the Bible, and became a soldier of Christ. I trained in 5 styles of martial arts and I am so skilled that I spared with a big 6”6’ Samoan navy seal and I beat him, as well as sparing with a 6th-degree black belt Army Ranger who I tore his shoulder muscles and ligaments as he got cocky and underestimated me. I permanently damaged his right arm. Knowing how to start a fire with just matches and paper I even know how to get a night-old fire going again. I'm Native American and I know many old traditional things that people don't have a clue about how to do. But anyway, I like the Survivor Pro pump that filters down to 0.01 microns, and all germs and bacteria. Still thank you for the information. I'd definitely research the Survivor Pro water pump. It's a great product. I also have a dedicated water boiling and cooking system in my b.o.b and more. Thank you for the conversation. Regards
That Walmart is nicely stocked. Unfortunately the Walmart here doesn't carry jack s***. 😞
It looks like EJ had fun making this kit. That's always a good thing. It would be interesting to see him do an overnight in the woods trying this kit.
Just a few ideas for anyone imitating this kit. The big tool kit, I'd skip it. All of the useful tools, he has in this kit redundancies, you could save a lot of weight and money and space. For my taste, I'd take out all the cutting tools except the folding saw and invest in a nicer knife like a Buck. The back pack appears to come with a free water bottle, you could save time , space and money by not buying a second one. The silver tarp, you could leave that out, most likely they had some of the little blue nylon tarps from outdoor products, you could pick up two or three of those and likely save space and money and get an upgrade in durability while also giving more options and allowing for a nicer more comfortable shelter. Or get a larger tarp of the same style from the hardware department for the same or less price. Or maybe even a low cost tent. I'd also skip the cool multifunction gadgets, typically they aren't very durable or reliable, save yourself time, weight and money. And I'd leave out the slingshot. You'd likely be much farther ahead by just adding actual calories, a box of cliff bars, a bag of trail mix or your favorite hiking snacks. Jute twine is super cheap, works as cordage and fire tender and would give you the cordage to spare for using the bear bell as a perimeter alarm while also providing enough perimeter to maybe be useful. And echoing another commenter, pick up some snell hooks and maybe some fishing line, maybe even a fishing pole. If you felt inclined, you could add a lot of comfort to this by adding a blanket (fleece?) or a sleeping bag. They used to have a fleece sleeping bag, by itself it was good to fifty degrees, small, lightweight and inexpensive. I still use mine as a liner on extra cold nights. Just some ideas. I'd recommend trying your gear out before packing it away.
Trash bags could be another cheap, lightweight, useful addition to this kit.
make sure you sharpen those tools, and get batteries for that multi piece kit everyone! Their not to sharp and no batteries included.
Good vidio
Might do another store WalMart is out of most items
The fact that none of this is behind locked glass cases with 4 different cameras with overlapping fields of view says A LOT about where I live versus wherever you live ... Sigh... FML.
If I tried this I'd have to wait for an employee to come and grab each item for me and then take each item to a designated checkout stand for me to go collect/pay for them later.
Mention not all Walmarts are not stocked the same or restocked and seasonal price increases etc. Four Walmart Stores and maybe saw a few items! No vote on Walmart sporting goods department.
Gonna tell y'all right now those camping kits' metal is fine but the paracord wraps won't last and the metal handles are shaped weird. Strongly advise removing the wraps, grinding the handles to a more comfortable shape and then putting on wood handle scales with brass pins and epoxy (lookup knife handle making). Be way more comfortable and avoid the BS. Again the tools themselves are okay... Not the best but okay. It's just the handles/wraps that suck.

Not all Walmart have the same thing nor the same amount
yep, there are good Walmarts and bad Walmarts that was a good Walmart. We have two and neither are that good though one is better than the other. The ones in more rural areas often tend to be better in the outdoor/camping/fishing etc departments has been my experience.
You forgot something to pass the time maybe a deck of cards 🎉🎉🎉
It would be ok if you didn't have top of the line gear. As long as when the bag is done just do another and another wnd just bulk up on everything

Is this the guy from naked and afraid???

@@TheSurvivalSummit I knew it he's one of my faves too nice
Hopefully can win the giveaway
~~~ What about clothing 👣???~~~
invasion?
Yeah idk what he meant either
I've seen others poke a hole in the bottom of the dual wall vac insulated containers...would that work?
Possibly, yes, but why risk it using a bottle not made for boiling water?
@@TheSurvivalSummit cause it may be all you have at the time...and redundancy is good
@@jessereitz9574 If you needed to, you can boil water in a bowl made from bark, large leaves, plastic, and paper cups, etc., if your EDC or kit was not enough, or you didn't have it with you, which you always should. Risking an insulated bottle blowing up near you is not a good idea under any circumstances. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Keeping yourself healthy is a top priority in a survival situation and in general.
I'm going to disagree on 2 items. That cable saw is junk does not last but a couple limbs. A good folding saw will last and not wear you out.
Than the cord for fishing, NO! Cheaper and more dependable to get either 6 to 10lbs Tilene Xl fishing line. Why tear your cord apart?
This video is specifically for a Walmart BOB, and spending as little as humanly possible. In our opinion no one should be settling for any of this gear, unless they don’t have a choice. In the saw, used correctly a wire saw, while still being a pretty trashy item, won’t only last a few limbs. We’ve tested and used them and they have a lot more usage than you suggest on small to medium size limbs, but yes, they still suck 😂. And cheap fishing line is def. better, but you can still use line from cordage if you can’t buy real fishing line. But We 100% agree that based on cost that’s a stupid substitution.
All you need is water filter/two ways to filter water go for three if you can, second 2/3 ways of making fire, clothes shorts and pants, really good pair of hiking shoes, 2/3 pair of socks , always keep your feet dry, wool is good look for hiking videos of people talking about good hiking socks, underwear 2/3 pair, sleeping pad, compression sleeping bag, duck tape yes you can use on you feet 🦶 and part of a first aid kit, ifak and boo boo kit. Poncho helps with sleeping on the go, plus you can use it as a cover so keep you dry too. Saw, knife 2 one for eating, one for preparing. 🪓 axe, stainless steel cups one for boiling water one for eating out of. Don’t forget a backpack. Weapons optional. Another thought is gas mask, radio hand held with earphones being silent is good too. Notebook/ compass, book to read, small Bible, Sas book learn before you adventure out into the wild.
