- This is a video that I finished about 90% and decided I just didn't like how it was turning out. I tried to use a bit of humor and a bit more editing and just felt like it was turning out too cheesy. But, since I have at least a dozen videos in my reject folder, I figured I might as well upload one every now and again just for giggle and sh@ts. Maybe it's not as bad as I think. I'll let you be the judge. I'm sure you'll all tell me in the comments!
About the kit..
I actually bought this after having a few too many beers while surfing Amazon for new stuff to review. I don't know why I'm such a sucker for these cheap, low quality kits. I honestly forgot I ordered this until it arrived in the mail. There were a few usable items but, a lot of them were just plain mediocre. But, that's just MY opinion. Maybe you'll feel differently.
I had planned to give this away if I hit 500 likes on this video and, I think I still will. Why not? Better it go to someone that might have a use for it than for it to just collect dust on my shelf. It could be a good starter kit for someone just getting into survival/edc and preparedness. I also plan on adding a few mystery items to the kit before I give it away. These items will be better items and much more usable than most of the contents of this kit.
Anyway, enjoy my horrible humor and editing. Let me know what you think in the comments!
Thanks for watching!
Buy yours here if you want to try it for yourself:

It's always blown me away that crap like this gets made and sold. That hammer multitool thing is hilarious! Thanks for the video, I enjoy and appreciate your channel!
I love cheap multi tools but i hate the hammer multi tool just on design wise, i don't think it would be practical at all
A lot of people talk trash about this kit but if that's what you can afford it's better to have a chance than no chance at all
thats true, and you can always swap out the cheap items for better quality gear as you can afford it.
Always good to have a sense of humor when doing a review. Wondering who is the one deciding what goes in these bags. Reaching around in the factory and seeing what's available to shove in.
Have a good weekend
To be fair, it WOULD be a decent starter kit if they had been a little more selective with the items. For $50, I could have put together a decent starter kit. It may have been smaller but it would be better quality.
I've bought a couple of the actual bags, but empty, off Ebay. then I've just stocked one as a small but comprehensive first aid kit, and the other I'm currently building up as a custom bug out bag, stocked with my own selection of different bits and pieces. I may get bigger bags later as my ideas change and what I want to carry does, but for now I have a couple good little kits ready to use, stocked with hand picked, good quality items.
You can survive anything with a bottle opener and look tacticool doing it. 🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate you buying this and reviewing this kit
Man, how many bottle openers do you need. It feels like they just found everything that had a bottle opener on it and threw them in a bag together. This kit was hilarious. Thanks for the in depth unboxing
It's always better to make your own survival and bugout kits. Customize it to your needs and buy items that won't break the first time you use them. Med kit definitely needs wound cleaner solution and antibiotic ointment. It could also include a stitching kit. A couple of totes full of items like food, personal hygiene items, TP etc. Be truly prepared.
awsome kit
I would swap the entire thing for a Poncho Tarp, a Lighter and a Steel Bottle.
A boat inside the kit. LoL 😂😂 that was funny.
It's good to see what u get
Please send this kit to me! The twine being frayed on the ends is a good thing. This way you can use the fray as tinder without waisting paracord. The shovel, blanket, bellows, hammer & axe, redundant whistles, paracord bracelet and first aid case are mostly useful. I would like to have seen a water bladder and some purification tablets to supplement boiling water. That bottle holder can be used for other items. Maybe not worth what you payed, but 29.99 would be a fair price! Let me know how the flashlight works!
Good review
Amazon is definitely a hit or miss. Evan name brand stuff. Great vid!
You are correct. I’ve paid for name brand stuff that lasted half as long as some of the cheap crap I’ve bought. I love buying the cheap stuff just to put it through it’s paces. Some of it surprises me.
Thanks for the reviews
Ok so you talked me into a thumbs up, good review
Appreciate it!
So glad I watched this before ordering lol
Great video
Thank you!
What good does do to have only 1 fish hook. First aid kit is questionable at best. Thank you for the review
I bought it to go outside and use it in the woods behind my house, it it pretty fun
I wanna take it out and put it through it’s paces just for fun. Might make for some interesting content. My issue is, I have a horrible time setting cameras up to film myself lol. It’s one thing in my studio where I just shoot from a single camera angle. Man I’m lazy. Lol
Add an sak and if it fits an opinel or silky saw and it’s competent
How the hell does anyone see those pictures and think, gee this looks like a great product!
Right???
You know what you like, need and want, better than any premade kit. Source and make your own.
Read the description and check my other videos. I usually do make my own kits.
I bought this kit as a basic kit and replaced all the trash with quality items and bought more tools to fill the bag I payed €40 for the kit but with much more helpful items without the shovel and hamer/axe combo so for the price you get a nice basic survival kit
I have used the shovel that came in the kit and it surprisingly held up pretty well. Other than that, there isn’t much else I’d keep if I were to re-work it and actually use it. The spork wasn’t bad either. I’m weird about gear though. It does have potential if you have a few dollars to spend. To be honest, I can’t even remember what all is in it. I bought it, reviewed it and tossed it on a shelf lol. I did use the shovel but that’s about it.
@@NEP_Chris yep it all depends on in what kind of environment you live in.
I live in a urban environment so I don't need a shovel but I did put in a water purifier and all kinds of stuff I need in a urban environment. But the spork is very handy indeed
@@CamperTheFlow I’m on the outskirts of a big urban area. If I go to the north, it’s city, to the south is more rural and wooded. I can pack for either or both. I’ve been working at cutting down what I carry and focusing on what I can use in both scenarios. Becoming a bit of a minimalist. Lol.
@@NEP_Chris I live in the Netherlands and I would love to live somewhere with more nature lol
@@CamperTheFlow we have lots of nature here in the states. You gotta deal with the people though! Lol
I want this
Yeah 50$ is a little steep
I’ve seen similar ones going for 20$ …. The knife 🔪 spork thing looks cool 😎…
But the rest of it looks like garbage 😂
Well in a real survival situation you have the potential to make fire 🔥 and the Mylar blanket might be handy beside that
That’s it 😂😂 great video
some of the items looks ok i had that shovel before and bent it first time using it haha great review thou also i love the idea i can call optimus prime with the flash light 😂🎉💪🏻
Surprisingly the shovel isn't too bad. Its pretty solid and should work fine for "normal" use. I've been tempted to take the whole kit out and put it through its paces BUT, i'd rather give it away to someone before I destroy it.
@@NEP_Chris maybe that was where i went wrong i was a bit heavy handed with it great giveaway thou mate
nah, OP would laugh at you for waking him up, after seeing the rest of the kit!
People hate on those multitool cards (And I get it) but once you sharpen them they aren't too bad. I use it as a guy line tensioner... works great.
I have a whole stack of them. I figure I’ll find a use for them someday. I have one in my wallet that I like because it has a good bottle opener lol.
@@NEP_Chris give them a sharpen. It's a good back up.
I would love to get one
In south africa we have a similiar kit only thing it doesnt have is the shovel. The axe hammer multitool is super blunt. And its a bit more expensive if you go from south african currency too us currency.
You'd be better off with a decent axe a lighter and a medkit
You could upgrade that kit by a like 25% by adding a Victorinox Huntsman SAK with plus scales.
I’ll have to check out the Huntsman. I have a Farmer (I believe that’s what it’s called) that I could drop in it but I was thinking more along the lines of a Mora 511.
That is a tiny shovel. My garden trowel is bigger than that. 😮
Honestly is not a bad kit from the ones I’ve seen has crappy tools but really isn’t that bad. But for 50$ I think it’s out of budget for what you get. The actual bag looked pretty cool to me
The bags is “ok”. It’s about the same quality as the cheap molle bags that sell for about $20 on Amazon. Honestly, I have bough worse kits. I think I have enough of them to put together a “good-ish” kit out of the contents of them all. Maybe I’ll put together a Chinese crap survival kit and take it out for a camping trip some weekend.
Haha I got the same kit. However mine was only 33 dollars but it didn't come with a spork it came with a cheesy folding silverware set that kinda fell apart in my hands. And it didn't come with an axe hammer multitool just a regular multi tool.
Yeah I felt the same way, everything in this kit was very cheesy. Mine came with a "self defense pen" which I still cannot help but laugh considering the kit comes with a knife and a shovel. I'm gonna take it up camp and try some of the stuff out anyways. I have one thousand bottle openers so at least nobody will go thirsty. No matches or super glue though which I figured would be cheap and easy accessories to this kit. Instead we have a million bandaids and we can dick around with the fire starter for 30 minutes instead of instantaneously LOL
Looks like what you use for props.
Not sure what you mean?
I need one
If you don't mind taking time, check mark down sales for good items, I recently found a small pair of fiskars scissors for $.67 .
About 19.99 is a good price for that for kid's
I'm not sure whether is me but you seem to get better made cheap flashlights in supermarkets than you find in a lot of survival kits in case I recently got a small 9 led flashlight at my local supermarket for £2.75 and has a power of 300 lumens the only drawback to it is when you unscrew the base you can remove a central core that holds 3 triple A batteries that are included most in that range just take 1 battery may or may not be included so the value you get from different company vary wildly
You gotta expect cheap in these kits when they are trying to build them on a tight budget. If I paid $50 for it, they probably paid $25 to make it and that $25 had to include each item. I don’t buy these kits for quality though. I buy them just to see wha rounds crap they will send me, lol. I HAVE found a few decent items in some of them though. Some of the folding knives I’ve got in them are still in good working condition and I use them frequently. I wouldn’t bet my life on them but they weren’t all that bad! Thanks for watching!
Best to make your own survival kit
I figured survival packs should include a facemask and rubber gloves.
Nice
I have the survival shovel, have used it quite a bit and it's a pretty sturdy piece of gear. The rest of the crap in this bag looks like complete junk
Do yourself a favor guys, build your own kit, buy quality items as you can , enjoy building your kits and think out what’s essential to you
is it worth even SOME of the items, maybe. i need a survival kit...so no for me. but maybe a kids kit or back up..idk
if we had to survive with this we would be dead
You ain’t kidding.
It's really not bad though
@@waekn😂 imagine you see this laying on the ground and your injured thinking it's an ifak you open it up to find 2 lbs of garbage,realistically you'd be better off with a length of rope a nice axe and a lighter in terms of short term survival which might be about the same price
I LOVE WURVIVAL❤❤❤❤
This is meant to be a starter kit,side kit to main kit or like me because i know how to use cheap kits effectively, Not so fun fact: The mylar blanket has lead in it as they are allowed to put lead in them
Thats great, if youve got to survive lego land.
The bag is the only really useful item. If you have better gear, build your own kit based on your skillsets.
Nice kit but tools can be replaced
Just bought this kit for 20 bucks. So im not that mad
For $20, it’s an ok kit.
I got on a lightning sale to keep car.
Please, do not choose me as a resipient for that garbage, however, a great video.
I agree that the kit is WAY overpriced, and that most of the stuff WILL break during or at least after the first use. They counted things like the Q-tips and bandages as multiple items to get the I believe you said at the start, 142 items. Most of which you could buy for 1 or 2 dollars at a general store and get a lot more of the item. The little hatchet is interesting, and would be useful in some situations, but is NOT worth more than 5 or 6 dollars, same for the shovel. I hope you had something hit you in the back (your change from your 50 dollars), or at least your wife gave you a hard time for spending 50 dollars on something worth maybe 15. Anyhow, thats my two cents on this kit. Hope you have a great rest of your day, 'cause IMHO, you got ripped and gipped!
I buy the crap and give my opinion on it so others don’t waste thier money OR get stuck with a kit such as this and have it put them into a worse situation. Any money I spent was generated from TH-cam revenue and I made my investment back with TH-cam revenue as well. And, buying and reviewing these kits is fun. Sometimes you find a diamond amongst the trash. Example being the non branded folding knives that I have found in a couple of these kits. I have been using one of them for over a year now and it’s never let me down. I don’t use it as a primary blade but it’s a great backup.
I'm guessing all the metal tools/knives etc made in China?🤨
This kit wasn’t labeled as to where it was made but, I’m pretty sure it was china.
I have a survival bag kit and good survival bag kit
They changed it since then
Changed what?
I find it stupid that everything has to have a bottle opener , promoting alcoholism by any chance? I will never understand the novelty of that.
I get redundancy and all but, why not with something useful? An extra knife, more cordage or how about more ways to start fire? Why bottle openers???😂😂
@@NEP_Chris I agree , out of curiosity I looked up "camping gear " on my various websites recently and about 40% to 50 % had a bottle opener .... The best one was a knife with 7 ( I think ) " ESSENTIAL SURVIVAL GEAR THAT WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE "...... bottle opener was listed as one of those "save your life" tools cause beer is the ultimate in survival food technology? I dont get it but but yeah totally agree ,could of been better.
Alcohol is not the only thing that needs a bottle opener some other beverages need a bottle opener. And if alcohol is the only thing you have left you would drink it.
@@Crimsonisbetter for me the dehydration of drinking alcohol isnt worth it ... I prefer water
@@Deathbyswordpoint good point but again alcohol bottles aren’t the only bottle that needs a bottle opener to open
Send me the kit!
You missed the little shrimp..
Not sure what you are talking about?
@@NEP_Chris he is talking about the shrimp bait in the fishing kit
@@petercampbell1287 I think I mentioned them didn’t I? Lol. I may have missed them. I never intended to release this video. It was in my redo folder. 🙂
I'm a bit late,but you can send it to me.
Yeah, you're better off building a " bag " .
*survival
Pick me I want it🎉🎉🎉
I got it up to 403 likes my boyfriend can like 2
Who got the giveaway bag for 500 likes?
Completely a waste of time!!!! They sell this BS n help no1
Thanks for the info. Yai, yai
those emergency blankets do NOTHING, I'm speaking from experience, they do Nothing
Add some music yo the video and I did like this kit so if you can send it to me PLEASE do it because I do need it.
It was an unfinished video that I hadn’t planned to release. That’s why it has no music.
You gonna put any of that crap to the test???
I may eventually. Once I get this channel back up and running. Just getting over some health issues and waiting to be cleared to actually get out and do anything. I have lots planned for this year if I’m physically able.
Crap(lol)
Mostly. It had a few items that were “ok”. The shovel was decent. The knife just needed some oil and to be sharpened. The fire steel was big enough to last for a good long time and I kinda liked the design of the spork and how sharp it was. If I don’t end up giving it away (not hitting the 250 likes), I’m gonna take it out and use it on an over night in our woods.
Meh
Definitely “meh” for a $50 kit. I thoroughly agree.
Garbage
Survival card is not gimmicky if you know how to use it can save your life those 475 different ways to use that card my friend
Not sure how a dull 1 inch blade, flat head screwdriver, bottle opener and janky improvised wrench will help me in a survival situation. Face it, those cards are trash. At least any that I’ve actually tried.
Please send it to me
