People add 10,000 things to kits, making them to heavy . This is a good basic kit, assuming you have a basic level of survival this will get you through. I like a kit mentality that builds on levels, what you have on you is level one, level two is a small get home bag (5-10 miles perhaps overnight) Level three adds to those things for a 72 hour kit. (more food water cards etc.) Good Video.
Did one of these several years ago for my son’s car, when he was driving 400 miles for college. Also used a plastic ammo can. Now daughter with special needs child has it in her car. Good family kit. Millennium bars are basically the same food bar in single serving size, and multiple flavors.
I'm Canadian, from Québec, and as the temperature can be really cold, here, I prefer to have at least an extra wool blanket, even if it doesn't fit in your box, than only rely on mylar blankets. The rest of your kit is perfect.
Good stuff, do not take in car to MX haha because of ammo can. I would add a mini compass and change nylon rope to para cord. How about beef jerky sticks too. Change little tape to duct tape - they sell mini rolls. Signal mirror? Thank you for good video!
Thanks for the video. I would consider adding a water bottle that is the right size for one of the purification tablets. That way, one doesn't have to try to measure water for using the tablets. As the water filters become smaller, one of them might be worth considering as well, but tablets are fine for only 72 hours. I used to carry bottle rockets when I was hiking. In many places, fireworks are illegal. If I wanted to get attention quickly, I would have fired bottle rockets in groups of three. The three reports is a sign of distress. If the bottle rockets went high enough, someone might see where I was. Some people hearing fireworks would complain even if they didn't realize I was making a distress signal. Another commenter mentioned a signal mirror, and that's a good idea. I'm skeptical of the hand-crank flashlights. After Hurricane Gustav, I was without power for six days. I had one of those radios that had a flashlight and was powered by a hand crank. The radio/flashlight lasted about four days. Maybe that's not too big a problem for a 72-hour survival kit, but I was left with a bad feeling about the hand crank power generators. I would be tempted to put a little dryer lint in a ziplock baggie to have as fire starter.
As an Aussie I find it very frustrating that we can’t have logical discussions to find at least a halfway solution.. I’m licensed as an armed guard here but can’t carry unless I’m working and it’s the same for our police. It would be the first logical step to allow those who can carry at work to also carry while off duty or not on shift. If we can be trusted during our 8, 10 or 12 hours shifts why not all the time?
Dude, I'm surprised they let you carry at all. I seriously doubt they're going to increase your self defense rights, It's totally going the wrong direction other there
@@sk6056 We have a lot people fighting for us to move in the right direction. Some states are worse than others but people getting into shooting have skyrocketed over the last decade and are all starting to vote to keep it alive. Its not even close to what I would hope for but we are slowly making progress.
Looks like you can source the whole kit at Walmart. My 2¢: Like the cards and radio. Lifeboat rations aren't bad but probably won't need two bricks. Needs better signaling - at least hi-viz streamer or flagging tape. Include robust pair of slip joint pliers. Needs duct tape and a few contractor trash bags. Recommend coloring book and a couple crayons. First, you can take notes or leave messages. Second, you can entertain kids. Third, you can start fires. Fourth, you have splint material. Fifth, you can roll tightly and prepare a weapon in non permissive environments. Probably more. Needs a cup and at least a spoon. Preferably metal - another useful thing for non permissive environments. Light source should be headlamp first. Assuming you have a proper light on your belt.
Definitely add a metal container for boiling water for purification and cooking. All the best survival guys put that at the top of the list. And a straw water filter.
Thank you 🙏 in case the drinking water supply stops , how many liters of water do we need person to survive per month or at least for the first 2 crucial weeks ?
A clear plastic bag or large thin sheet like a dry cleaning bag can be very useful when there is no water. When backpacking, I found 5x6" paper towel sheets to pack well for TP among other uses. Fun size Payday bars keep well and contain sugar and protein. A signal mirror or piece of foil and a foot or two of duct tape can also be handy. A travel sample bottle with grain alcohol can be used as an anesthetic, antiseptic, oral pain reliever, or fuel.
I would add blood clot powder. It is a medical powder that clots cuts. It used to be military only, but now the same stuff is sold in major sporting goods stores to the public. It is expensive to buy, but preserving ones life is worth it.
The blood clot powder is good, but blood clot gauze is even better. I believe the military switched from the powder to the gauze and Quikclot combat gauze is the current standard. The powder has a few disadvantages, it can be washed away by blood flowing out of the wound, or blown away by wind, also the gauze allows you to apply direct pressure to the wound which the powder doesn’t do. The gauze is basically the same ingredient as the powder but it’s pre-soaked into a roll of gauze.
Livestock supply places carry 3-8 oz containers of Clot-It for well under $25. Check local feedstores, online sources & national chains like Tractor Supply, Rural King, etc.
this will work down to 60F, if there's no wind. In other words, your cover element is completely inadequate for any place in the US but Hawaii or MAYBE the southern half of the lower 48 states, for at most half of the year. You need a hammock to get you off of the brush, mud, water, snow, ants, stones, thorns, roots. and a net hammock, like mine, can feed you if need be. It's made out of a 50x10ft monofilament gillnet (Miller's, 2" mesh) You need a couple of "cut leaf" Amazon camo nets , 1/2 lb each and a couple of their 1/4 lb each bugnet suits. 3 of the heavy duty 55 gallon drum liners and some tape offer just as much "cover' as those lame-arsed ponchos and 2 of them, taped together, used as an "envelope" around a 1.5 lb reflective tyvek bivy, will let you sleep ok at 34F, in wind and rain. this is achieved by wearing the ponchos between the bugnets, all of it worn as longjohns. This is in just cammies gloves, unlaced shoes, 3 pairs of sock liners, balaclava, shemagh.and wiggy's net longjohns. Dont you think being good enough for the rest of the year is worth 2 more lbs of kit? None of the above is affected by its getting wet. It's all wearable as clothing and it's all useful in summertime. The XL size of the 2GoSystems "Trifecta" bivy is what you want. $95. Unless you're a petite woman, you dont want the regular size. Cut the rain flaps off of the zippers, or they WILL jam with you inside of the bivy! You can gain 10F degrees more insulation with dry debris between the bugnet suits and under the wraps of the camo nets (this time outside of your cammies. You can gain 10F more debrees with hot rocks or water bottles inside of the bivy. A discrete Dakota fire pit will warm them in half an hour and they last 2-3 hours. There is a way to discretely dry out wet debris, enough for the wraps around you, too. A 1 lb set of polypro longjohns gets you down to 10F degrees, Keep them sealed inside of the 3rd drum liner, so you'll have something dry to wear, inside of the poncho, if your clothes get soaked. This will protect you quite a bit as you wring the water out of the clothing and jog to wear you can start a fire. You can gain another 10F degrees with a LOT of debris stuffed between the bivy and the "envelope'. but it's not portable. With some clear PEVA shower curtain material (wally's) taped over the open end of the bivy, you can gain about another 10F degrees, by 'aiming' the morning sun or the one way projected heat of a Siberian fire lay at the PEVA. The Siberian projects its heat twice as far as a normal fire and it doesn't have much in the way of popping embers. In a hammock, 6" off of the ground, (in cold weather) your synthetics are safe around a Siberian that's 3 ft away. Neither the Siberian nor an Alternative Swedish fire torch can be put out by rain and both will burn green, wet wood if need-be. YT has vids about both. If all is wet, use the Swede to ignite the Siberian. Use dry, loose dirt or ashes to smother the flames, cause charred wood is easy to reignite if it's not wet. The Swede can be under your shelter. The only dry wood needed for the 4-log swede is the shavings that fill the empty center of the bundle of the Swede. Use dry wood scrapings at one end of the bundle to get the shavings burning. You dont need 8 ft long, 8" OD logs for a Siberian. 4" OD, 4 ft long logs will work. You'll just need 8x as many of them to get thru a night and you'll have to move the logs into the flames a lot more often Drive 4 stakes and stack 3-4 such logs between the stakes, forming a "wall" Lay your burn-logs over this "wall" YOu dont want the wall to burn so plaster the fire side of it with a 3" thick layer of mud.
"Life Straw" actually works too. I saw a video of someone testing it by drawing up pond water and then looking at it under a microscope. Probably easier than using a tablet if you don't have a container for it.
brotha n dear friend jason , great grat kit there , 550 military paracord is a no brianer if you can add it to any kit and anything that can n will sustain a fire if need be , basic items like > fritos / doritoes / rubber cement / green laser , will sustain a fire n start it 1 million % , thanks brotha n talk soon > tom !
I had these made for sale but with quality gear and all I ever got was complaining about the price and “I can get *item off of Amazon”. Well NAR gear, leatherman tool and sawyer filters cost hence the real cost of survival and gear that will survive with you.
I think the idea of this kit is good but content parts could be of better quality. There should also be heavy duty garbage bags included maybe even instead of ponchos, and 3 not just one source of fire ignition. Even if skilled in primitive fire starting, a cheap Bic is easier. Better tinder than tissues too.
If you're going to bring playing cards bring cash, we may as well make it interesting. All joking aside I think you should put some cash inside your box in small denominations.
First, I'm not buttering you up, I promise. I love your videos. However, I think your kit is a little bit off. As far as the playing cards, I feel, for 72 hours, they're useless. For the glow sticks, same. I would suggest road flares as they are a better for signaling, light sources and for starting fires. With the water tablets and food, again, for 72 hours, I feel they're unnecessary. You can survive for that long with neither, although the purification tablets might be needed in certain circumstances for hydration. I say this not as an expert, but I've watched over 50 videos regarding this subject and have spent a lot of time preparing my emergency kit. I feel, at least, that I have a very good amount of knowledge as to what to include/exclude in an emergency kit.
That is not a 50 cal ammo can...that is plastic crap...lol...you're life experience is obvious...hilarious to see someone with no resume to tell others what they should do...
