Once you see the kit does not contain that useless multitool survival card and wire saw you can tell they took that kit seriously. The best small tin survival tin kit I've seen so far. Thanks for the review.
Good point
I recently ended up ordering one of these kits. First they sent me an empty tin accidentally. I called and explained what happened and they sent the actual kit. When it got here it was missing the water bags and half the purification powder. The burn gel bag was also leaking. I want to love this kit but it's been a mixed experience. They did let me keep the empty tin which was a nice bonus. I made a homemade kit out of it already. Thanks for the awesome reviews.
To follow up on this, Best Glide did send me out the missing components. They have great service and I will shop there again.
Nice video and great kit. A lot of people have been asking me for a kit they can just buy (rather than put it together themselves). This might be one I could recommend. -except that I don't like the button compass. Most people get into trouble or die in the woods from getting lost. So imho the button compass does more harm than good being in the kit. They are notoriously inaccurate. A Suunto wrist compass is relatively small and light. I would recommend something like that.
Personally, I would add- a good compass (not a button), mag lite solitaire, extra aaa batery, bic lighter, charred material (to ignite with the fresnel lens). I would ditch- the wire saw, matches, and mini flashlight.
The best survival fire starter imho is the butane lighter. Nothing beats a quick, open flame. Matches can fail from humidity. And you only have a small number of matches vs thousands of flames from a lighter. I expect the reason a lighter is not included in the kit is because of shipping regulations.
IMO the maglite solitaire is a better choice that the mini light in the kit. - more light, and longer battery life. I'd include an extra aaa battery. The mini light in the kit is much better than nothing. You could see a short distance around and be able to work (building a shelter, starting a fire, first aid, etc). But I would want a light that I could use to see further ahead to walk on a trail, etc.
Those survival wire saws break quickly, and are almost useless imo. I doubt the one included in the kit is any exception. But- If someone wants to actually try to use it, and prove me wrong, I would like to see a video of that. If there is a brand of wire saw out there that works, that would be a good thing. I don't claim to know it all. Just saying- in my experience, all are junk.
The coffee filters is a great idea, so overlooked in my opinion, so kudos to whoever thought out the contents for this kit. The mre lemonade is a great addition, plus I love those. Lol. Great overall survival kit.
Your right about the water and shelter being first..but I been in Situations Where there is little to eat or there is nothing to eat..and your body can't Function right when you're hungry.. You can even think straight... So food is very important I suggest you pack it every chance you get.. Very very important..don't put down the importance of food I been were I could not use my hands to do the easiest things...some people have low sugar and don't know it so that food no matter how little it is does help alot
I made a similar kit to this with a Dove wash set tin which had the same locking system for the lid. Great review you did here thanks for the ideas!
Thank you for all your uploads. They are simply fantastic. I got the standard survival kit, and mine did come with the huge and heavy caterpillar multitool, which I swapped out with a kutmaster, mini master multi tool, much smaller and lighter. and also added a photon freedom mini light with extra batteries.
Awesome i was really surprised that this kit was so well rounded. Thx for sharing!👍
The only suggestion I would make after watching is on the mini med kit which you added. I would place a label on the bag with the date on it because the shelf life on medicines are somewhat short, and that means you would need to periodically replace that item if it hasn't been used.
Love the background music Eric! Awesome kit and video as usual! Thanks!
Awesome, thank you!
Looks like a nice piece of kit. but if it's got plastic on those lid securing tabs, I probably wouldn't want to put it on the fire. Also, one often forgotten use for aluminum foil is to use it as a vapor barrier if you have to start a fire on wet or cold ground. Thanks for the vid
Great video brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and I'm a new subscriber I can't wait to see all of your videos thank you again and hello from Detroit Michigan
...when I think of all those treks through Mount Tam in N. CA with nothing but a water bottle & a joint. Can’t believe we never ran into trouble.
Love your channel now been watching 2 years.
Nice! That's one of the best compact kits I've ever seen. You could actually survive in a pinch with that stuff! The powdered water treatment looks like ChlorFloc; it has a floculating agent that causes sediment to settle out. It's great stuff but the expiration date is shorter than most other tabs. I wouldn't be surprised if the patch of fabric was designed to make char cloth. Although that kit looks pretty good I'd likely add a few things provided there's room. No reason not to add a few more water treatment tablets (they're cheap) and maybe a BIC. No reason not to add an ESBIT tablet or two and maybe a bit more cordage.
Overall though that's a well thought out kit. Thanks for a thorough review.
If that's the best you seen I'm guessing you don't get out much. May I recommend GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip. Together with your kit you will be invincible
That patch doesn't look like it is made of cotton, so if you try to char it, it'll just melt. Besides, you don't need char cloth. If you can start one fire, char some punk wood. That is better, and it's everywhere. The patch is better suited for gear repair. You can pre filter with this kit, and boil in the box. No need really for more water tabs. The filter straw is for quick water, while you're carrying your water containers full of water and tabs. When you get to where you will stay you can cook and boil in the metal box.

Yes your superhuman.

I bought this kit a year or two ago. Two or three times a year BestGlide has a sale on a bunch of their gear. This is a pretty complete survival kit.
Nice vid. I would replace the space blanket with as much plastic dropcloth that would fill the space. Its so versatile and repairable with the duct tape.
Comprehensive kit with some quality items, exellent video, thanks.
Comprehensive kit? You've never actually seen Woods have you? Good luck on your camping trip. When all of that crap fails please remember your cell phone has GPS that works even without phone service. But only if you remember to download the map first
@@captainfragger6295 I don't carry a cell phone, I know exactly where I'm going and don't need any help to get there.
This is a great kit they give you alot of water gear and fire gear
Good review mate. I'd drop the multi tool and ferro rod as I'd have them on me. A bit of extra space doesn't hurt/
Good review, thanks for sharing.
I'm buying one. I'll be adding a few items though and removing some of the less useful stuff. I'm also thinking about buying an empty Esee tin and doing a 100% DIY kit that I can stash on my motorcycle
$100 is a lot of money to spend on a little box with clamps. You must have a lot of money. Have you ever thought about investing in in a bridge. I have one in Brooklyn. You can make a lot of money if you were to buy it and charge people a toll. Just saying
Dual Sport Survival I’ll get this as well. Good kit
The case is pretty nice and just $15 or so. I think that's a good plan, buy the box and add just what you want. There's nothing wrong with the premade kit but I have dozens of boxes of survival and outdoors gear, like many of us probably do. No point in duplicating all the stuff if you already have it (eg I probably have 50 'space blankets', a mile of paracord, a lot of bankline & kevlar, a hundred or more good knives, etc). But I would like to pick up one of those case. It seems like packing a $10 Olicamp pot lifter would make it even more versatile.
@@captainfragger6295 Some people make a lot of money, and spending an hour to save $75 is going to lose them money in the long run. That makes them smart, not foolish.
@@russdewolf8705 True. But if they're making a lot of money, they can afford to buy a nicer kit, or pay a honorable family member or friend to make or upgrade one for them. I'm not knocking the makers of this kit. It's better than nothing, and for many they would rather buy such and throw it in their car or pack and forget it than take the time to put together one on their own, and that's fine. Personally, I find it too full of stuff I'd probably not use in an emergency situation vs stuff I would. I'd most likely either upgrade it with better gear and supplies to supplement my EDC, or repurpose it as a food tin with much less stuff.
Cool review and cool kit
I just watched yer Henry review and it looks like they skimped a bit on the compass in this one. Other than that, I liked how they have a much more complete, basic first aid with band aids etc, moleskin… stuff that will keep you going. I was thinking about adding caffeine pills to mine. Clearer heads prevail!
Add packs of oatmeal, Vitamin c or multi vitamin, coffee packs or cristal light packs, hydration salts packs
Great kit👍
May be cool to add an hand warmer to be used with the space blanket
Foil also makes a passable fishing lure,
Hey, thanks for sharing...
Very nice!
Seems to be a superior kit compared to the $120.00 Henry kit. Great review! Thank you!
Right? I really wanted to get that Henry kit but then I found this upload and I’m glad I did!
Sorry the background music killed it for me.
I'm surprised none of these kits contained a, "John Wayne", can opener.
I wonder if the patch was an iron on type. You could heat the tin & with the multi-tool, use it as a makeshift iron.
The only thing these kits never have that I think is absolutely necessary is a decent knife.
Which of the Tin can Kits that you have reviewed do you like the best? Thanks for all the excellent content! 🤟🏻🙏🏼😎
Gosh that's a hard one to answer. Probably one of best glide tins
Lol, sorry after looking through all your videos I didn’t realize how many reviews you have covered. Thanks for your opinion. 👍🏻👍🏻
I like this kit imma get one but I'll buy the Standard version. Does the Standard version still come with the Grabber blanket?
I've been wanting this kit and the Esee kit for a long time I have alot of gears and I have tons of little survival kits and good quality ones I don't buy junk you get what you pay for buy I've been broke lately
No I was thinking if you had a deep gash that gotten tinder could be used for packing it to help stop bleeding if u don't have any clot stuff just a thought lol
You can have an extra tin just for food items.
Hi 👋🏻. I’d say that that’s too big as you would still need to carry a few small last ditch items on your person. I think Lofty Wiseman got it right with a small tobacco tin with a few essentials init in your pocket and a bigger pouch (the size of this tin) on the belt. Not in the pack! But some good gear in there just the carry I would change.
2 thoughts real quick.
What is the container made of?
The Imodium® is a smart idea. If your water supply is limited you do NOT want to have diarrhea. That will kill you quickly.
Took it out of the package they can’t get it back in the box that’s priceless one other item you forgot what are those space tents just in case there wasn’t for a car that’s for somebody walking to get help.
Are there any videos out there from people who actually used one of these kits to survive and keep themselves alive?
Excellent review. Can you check the KEA KIT?
I love the kit very well put together but my question is where do you get the extra coffee filters for purifying water through if you want to add them to the kit
Go on Amazon and look for “Melitta coffee filters” and they’ll have a box of 80 on there.
Supermarket
The tea/coffee section in your local supermarket.
I never see Gerber multi tool mentioned in these videos are they not good?
I was wondering what is ment by the pocket knife/tool? Any thoughts. It seams like it is missing the multi tool is there the derma safe razor knife is there. But no pocket knife/tool? Eric I was wondering because I got this kit and just realized when watching this video. On the list on the back. The advanced version has "extra items" however I don't see the pocket knife/tool... 😕 confused
I just bought the "standard" version and of course it didn't have the water filter or micro light (it wasn't supposed to) , but it did have the multi-tool, but no "pocket knife". So yeah, I don't know on that either.
A P38 can opener would be nice.
Nice review. With food being a low priority why do so many small kits contain fishing gear and snare wire? Far better to have a thousand dense calories of fat like coconut or olive oil which will keep you warm and mobile and even burn.
That, first aid, water and a good shelter will keep you alive til help arrives, assuming you have either mobile phone reception, someone who knows to come looking when you don’t come back or in more remote places a PLB.
If you don’t have a reliable way to call for help you’re not really prepared for the worst.
Because they're there to sell gadgets. They get the cheapest junk and try to package it like it's really something. I wouldn't wish one of these kits on my worst enemy
@Cyndi Rothrock how much oil are you drinking at once?? Ration yourself!
@Cyndi Rothrock ok, thanks for the detailed info. Not everyone has the same reaction to oils and fats. Uncooked oils are also healthier than cooked. I have no problem with several swigs of raw olive oil a day, for example, whether it’s on a salad or not. Most people eating a Mediterranean diet have the same.
I know this is an old comment, but worth pointing out that ship life-rafts all contain one fishing kit per occupant. The reason for them isn't to feed the inhabitants of the life-raft, but to give them a complex task that requires skill - this keeps them occupied during the wait for rescue, and so improves survivability more than having a raft full of bored people. Maybe a skilled fisherman could make these kits work for them, but I daresay the real value to the rest of us is keeping us busy!
I have used snare wire from kits like these a couple of times, but never to trap an animal. They usually end up as improvised bail handles or wiring something together. I think they get put in because they are useful and can get food. Ten pound test fishing line doesn’t sound that strong, but 10 wraps holding a hundred pounds is nothing to wink at.
Hello Ericstrains! 😆
Hola. Podrias compartir el link de Amazon para comprarlo, yo no he podido encontrarlo. Gracias
Add nail cutter, antibiotic, salt, sugar
Hi l wish you could kick some butt over there they never have a way to send it outside USA or Canada they are losing a lot of market share that way surely it can't be that hard to post it overseas it's been going on for a long time now.
Great review as always.
🍻👏👏👏
It's good but it's not quite Carling!
I think this kit is too big, I think that with time and experience a smaller and more simpler kit, that is adequate, is more valuable. You are more likely to carry a smaller kit on you frequently where as larger items should be in a rucksack some times known as a Bug Out Bag (BOB).
There is no set list of which of the survival needs you need more than others. There are many different scenarios that will change those priorities.
Food is only a low priority if you have enough food to hold you over until you need more food. Water is only a priority if you don't have water or don't have enough to hold you over until you can find more before you die of dehydrationf. Shelter isn't a priority unless you're caught out in freezing temperatures or rain and is often the first priority if you're in inclement weather, even above water. Fire is a priority if you need to warm quickly to stave off hypothermia, even above food and water or shelter in some cases.
You can go a few days with no problem. After that, you'll start to get tired quickly and eventually will just remain stagnant instead of doing what you need to survive. After a couple of weeks (or earlier), you'll start cognitive decline and will be more likely to make mistakes which may keep you out there longer or kill you. Sure, people have gone upwards of a month with no food, but they weren't expending several thousand extra calories a day trudging through the woods, gathering things, and building things.
Once you go a few days, you'll have to get food somewhere and you can't carry very much with you. Hunting and fishing are quite difficult to do with only handmade tools. A fishing kit and snare wire weighs almost nothing and takes up hardly any room and will make gathering meat quite a bit easier. Not everyone is trained on how to identify plants that are safe to eat and you'll need fat and protein from meat and fish anyway.
Im so good setting Tinder on fire that I’ll have a full book of Matches... ;)
i see what you're saying about food, but this is exactly the kit i would put food in precisely because water has already been so well addressed, so why not fill the remaining space. if you would be taking space away from a more essential area, then fair enough, leave it out.
Oh you think the water's been addressed? 5 purification tablets. A Mickey Mouse water straw. And 5 thin bags that probably leak. Mohave here you come
@@captainfragger6295 yes, water has been adressed. a survival kit for the mojave would be very different, im coming at this from a uk perspective
@@captainfragger6295 thats actually a lot of water items from my point of view in fact XD
@@captainfragger6295 in fact the more i think about it the more ludicrous your comment seems, its got a GODDAMN water filter straw in it XD XD XD
@@lordofgraphite so you're saying... you've never been camping?
I’d just add salt. Or lite salt, which has potassium too.
I would have replaced the multi-tool with something more durable.
@10:00 ... that's a hat!
Might add chatcloth
So you're telling me "Best Glide" isn't a competitor to KY Jelly?
Only to someone with the mentality of a 12 year old.
@Alec Wheeland This seems like an ad, but nonetheless hacking someone else's social media account is wrong.
I keep this kit in my bugout bag.
That is a good I dead but I would recommend adding this to a sling outside the bag so if you lose the bag you have something
Peopl in the comments talk about "unnecessary items." You could live for weeks with a space blanket, a canteen cup and a lighter . Is everything else unnecessary?
i think it's needed
$100 ! dam you could a loaded back pack for that.
👍
hard to find in indonesia and nice products
When did sachet (pronounced “sa-shay”) become sa-chet?
When you find people who have no idea how to pronounce it properly.
Linguistic divergence is a thing, man.
food and water for the first time need
How much was this kit?
$100
No. That is NOT "compact". Compact is really no bigger than 1 x 3.25 x 4.5 inches. This here is a stage two kit that you'd stash in your rucksack, not slip in your front pocket.
They cocked it up right from the start. First aid items do not belong in your survival tin. They belong in either the stage 1 "minor injuries" kit on your belt, or the stage 2 "serious injuries" kit or stage 3 "trauma" kit in and on your rucksack. All they do in the SK is take up room that could be better used for survival related gear.
Ditch the cord. 18 feet of paracord can be carried in a double cobra weave bracelet or 100 feet in a belt.
Ditch the knife and multitool. A large fixed blade should already be in your rucksack and a large folder in your pocket...with your stage 1 survival kit. A larger sized multitool should be on your belt or ruck anyway.
Ditch the water purification powder. A 1/4 x 3 inch tube of potassium permanganate will treat at least 25 gallons and take up less space.
Ditch the matches and replace them with more of the waterproof variety.
This kit is a good start, but it's far from ideal. I'd still be for buying the tin and filling it with hand picked gear.
I build survival kits. I cannot match BestGlides prices or quality. If you want to build your own Survival kits I can highly recommend purchasing BestGlide’s products.
So both kits aren’t “ultimate”? I really enjoy building these kits, but they need to stop with the super ultimate survival titles
I would be happy if I quit seeing items listed as Tactical. They literally have tactical bricks for sale. Just like these that use the word ultimate. They have an ultimate amount of junk in them. And if a person doesn't build a kit themselves they're not going to know how to use the junk or even if the junk is going to work. Sure these are a great idea to make a check list if you don't know what you need. But a person would have to be some kind of fool to rely on one of these things. Things go wrong. And this kit is full of junk that probably wouldn't help an expert survive
$100 tho
I hear the background music and I leave
Suit yourself
like in england version
Price is better on Polymath kit.
I would add glucose tablets, especially if you are diabetic.
Or ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
Best Glide are really letting themselves down with that "Multitool". It really is cheap & nasty. Personally I'd dump it in favour of a lighter and possibly a Swiss Army Knife (one with a saw on it).
Or leatherman
letherman funboy ? CAT is one of most strufy brands...
'Strufy'?
Razor knifes... have anyone ever had a serrous use of them in a survival situaiton??
Have anyone ever garotted a piece of wood with a wire saw for any good reason?
was that... paper matches?? Should have shown them. Paper matches are notoriusly worthless.
Am amzed that not a peice of hard soap is included . As long as you got decent water, a soap is really good anti bacteria and it last longer than tiny chems packages or tissues.
snare wire. sigh. come on. How many snares is that good enough for to be of any realistic usage? An how many have the skill sets needed? You proably need 10+ snares, skill and good luck .
"space blankets" usually too small. You need to learn checking the size on those. Some are bigger than others and of more value for a grown perrson with outdoors clothing.
try put that tin over a good heat source a few times and then see if the ld still fits.
Your product knowledge is limited
The fuel gel is designed to assist in starting a fire only using tinder and sticks
It is not designed as the actual fuel source
18:10 Gee Taiwan must be close to china , ya Think !!!
I hate whistles
You can blow a whistle a lot longer than you can yell & they can be heard better.
I don't understand why every one of these kits come with a sewing kit. Seems completely unnecessary.
You NUTS? You DO NOT WANT YOUR CLOTHING FALLING APART IN A SURVIVAL SITUATION!
@@susanp.collins7834bwahahaaa
Is he telling people to rely on a tin can full of trinkets for serious survival? That crap will not do much in a serious pinch. He must work for Gentleman`s Quarterly.
Wow, what are you...a sergeant in the keyboard warrior corps? Get a clue there, puffed up toad. Even John Wiseman, who very likely has had more survival experience out in the field during his 27 years of service than you've had in your 17 years, strongly recommends carrying, and knowing how to use the contents of, a PSK. Loosely quoting him: "It doesn't matter if you're walking your dog, if you're on a day hike, lost in the Arctic or desert or if you're ballroom dancing...your kit should be on you whenever you leave the house." I think his word holds more weight than the pretentiously hostile opinion of some a$$hole TH-cam rando.
Now, before you decide to get your Victoria's Secret lacy paties in a wad, let me tell you I have reply notifications disabled...so any butthurt retort will be a waste of your time. Cheerio, Junior!
NO SNAKE BITE KIT?? NO SUPER GLUE?(aka instant cut mender). NO Jumbo Trash Bag (aka Upper Body Warmer/Rain Jacket) No Morphine for pain.
Definitely no Morphine for pain. Morphine is NOT something you want in your system in a survival situation.
Thought this was a survival kit review not Reading Rainbow
You can make a survival kit at half the price this is a ripoff
Yeah, right! There’s always one out there! Put your money where your mouth is and put a kit together with quality components and take a pic and list the component, who made the component, the price and any other information to prove what you say you can do! Good luck man!
Nope, lol!
The filter straw alone is about $30
