This is a great start up kit. Cost is amazing value would be good to road test some of this. Opens the door for many more people who can’t justify paying top dollar for the brand stuff. Thanks for sharing.
@@jimbouchard9387 this is true. But there will always be a portion at the end , where you hold it , that never gets touched. Swapping ends is why it has the extra holds. But my gosh, these massive ferro rods last forever as is.
Ya know I get the whole made in America thing but stuff like this simply opens the door and lowers the bar of entry to an amazing arena of knowledge and experience
Hi, new subscriber here great video , love the fixed blade knife ..looks great value .the 2 litre water bottle looks good .. Nice emergency kit everything here is better than nothing .
There are a few things I have learned to splurg on when it comes to gear - footwear (boots & socks), saws, and a compass. I will be really curious to see how the saw & compass hold up once you start using them. Based on experience, I do not think a mylar blanket will hold up to being any kind of mattress. Once ripped or torn, the plastic just shreds itself to nothing. But, if you have a method to make it work, I'll be really interested to see it in action.
I’ve bought several things from Temu, So far the quality has been exceptional for the price. Most I wouldn’t hesitate to depend upon for 72 hour bag or maybe even a couple of months (not really hard use) but for the price it definitely beats not having the items.And yes I hate supporting China (not all the items come from there) but if they got what I need in order to fight against them so be it !
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this informative video. You did a great job. You're set for just about any emergency. Stay safe out there. 🤗
I bought a few backpack belt packs just to see how they do for some quick access pouches. They seem alright so far. I also bought an IFAK PACK, I also ordered an IFAK pack from Amazon and really impressed with both. Seem to be built pretty well. I also swear they are from the same manufacturer even coming from to different places
Saw a couple comments suggesting a bic lighter and some gloves (leather is better), I was thinking these as well. Just clip the gloves to the outside of the bag and the bic can fit literally anywhere. If this is for an emergency situation tho, I would want a "booboo kit" at minimum. (bandaids, motrin, antiseptic cream, butterflies, nail clippers are super helpful, large needle for repairs using para cord guts (wrap cardboard around it and duct tape). Wrap the bic with duct tape. You mentioned taping the emergency blankets together, but had no tape. I love the plastic bottle with the pouch, may pick up one of those! Overall good vid! Curious how the stuff holds up!
Always get two ferro rods. One to pack and one to test. Once you scrape one, it begins to oxidize. Especially if you put it away. It seems like if it gets carried which means getting touched, it won't corrode so much.
Thank you for your work to gather the supplies. I will be looking forward to viewing your report on the usefulness of the products, because I am constructing beginner kits for 4 GRANDkids and others. Good video & to the point. I am curious as to whether your Para cord does have 7 strands inside- I have found some at WallyWorld with an outer sheath with just a fluffy core! I am also interested in the SAK knockoffs as to the knife and saw blades and whether the body of the knife will hold up to a little use as for cutting notches in small branches for constructing L 7 trap triggers- Of course the same goes for the full tang Sheath knife and folding saw. Light work for three days is useful but Your Testing while Teaching will give You and then YOUR VIEWERS SOME VERY USEFUL DATA! Be careful as SURVIVAL WHILE DRIVING IS a matter for YOUR FULL ATTENTION ! Looking forward to your experiences as you try out these tools for us!
Very nice kit, you may want to incorporate a pair of sturdy gloves since you’re using sharp tools, for the novice or inexperienced. In a a true survival situation. 👍🏻
I would be interested in hearing your results after using the equipment, including your opinion on whether it would actually be durable enough in a 72 hour situation.
May I request a link to the Cup and Water Bottle? Love the compact design of that nesting cup. Great vid and this gear was soooo affordable. Looking to kit out something for my 8 year old to carry while hiking. This is great, as I wouldn't be to worried about him damaging or losing this stuff at the price range.
Definitely going to test gear from Temu. I build 4 types of kits for personal contacts ranging from PSK’s to get-home bags & BOB’s all the way up to 7-10 day home emergency kits. Pricing is always a challenge. Am I willing to put that piece of junk “SAK” into a kit? No. Absolutely not. It won’t last a week in the bush. But for less technically intricate mechanics like cups, bottles & ferro rods ? Every dollar I can shave off that stuff is a dollar that can be applied to the “stars” of the show. Your kit selections make sense & mirror my overall philosophy. Areas of concern? The saw. Definitely the folder knife. I’m betting those stakes are too brittle or too spongy and the headlamp makes me nervous. But with careful gear selection a blend of Temu bags, tarps & cookware counterbalanced by tools from reputable companies purchased through Amazon could be a real winner. Thank you for the video. You did me a great service today 👍🏼
I don't mind d2 on a pocket knife, but it isn't good for a fixed blade. Especially if you're planning on using it as a survival knife. D2 chips really easy and isn't good for hard use. You're much better off going with 1095. Rather than D2.
I got a knife similar to from Temu but in 9cr19mov. It actually feels really good in the hand and when I did some hard testing it held up well with no rolling or chipping. Pleased with it but giving it away.
NICE, Thanks for this - Most informative! A mate of mine has started using Temu and I will be sending him this video. One question; Do you have any info on the type of steel used for the knife? Cheers
D2 will need greater care against rust. It will hold its edge longer than 9cr19mov but will also be a little more brittle. Lots of people complain about poor heat treatment on d2. That knife looks pretty good though. D2 should get razor sharp.
Eh, most of the bags looked like the cheap Rothco bags. They are ok quality, but I'd rather people invest their money in a quality pack that won't rip out on them.
Love the channel just found it like the vids you should do a survival challenge with that kit would love to see u survive 72 hours on that kit see how that gear holds up
You should ditch one of those bulky rags and include an emergency fishing kit.line and hooks at least.maybe some bandaids.headache medicine.a mini pen light.bic lighter wrapped in duct tape.just a few ideas.ypu forgot alot of basics for 72 hour timeframe.
There's certain pieces of gear that can work from Temu and others that I wouldn't trust. Medical gear is one I wouldn't trust from a Temu seller. There are some pieces like Israeli bandages or the like, but things like TQs I wouldn't trust. Just my opinion.
Honestly i Don't believe any of the stuff will last and I wouldn't be surprised if the plastic is really dirty and leeching i would not trust any sort of water bottle from TAMU just me And I've had cheap saws like that from the dollar store they're $5 here at the store and they work for a little bit but lose edge really fast i have found
Props to you for having a kit youre now more prepared than about 90% of the population. Now Im going to speak from my own opinion keep in mind I have a lot of knowledge and not alot of personal experience. But here is my opinion. You paid too much for that kit. Your most expensive item should have been your knife. this was meant to be a 72 hours survival kit and some of the items just don't make a lot of sense. Please take this opinion with a grain of salt. A Bic lighter is a quick inexpensive fire starter you don't have one in the kit but you went the extra mile to get not one but two methods of Solar ignition. The 2 liter jug and when your Metal one for boiling water is only a one liter. Yes its water storage but its also weight the body needs 1 liter a day. If you're going to carry that weight just add some water to your kit and use a smaller canteen. You mention about those tent stakes and said you had extra just in case you need to use them as tinder and that brings me back to fire, you don't have any tinder why not add a couple pinches of Dryer lint to the kit in a zip lock bag or some cotton balls with vaseline? Set yourself up for success zero effort fire why use a striker that's an emergency have no fire items tool ?? Its Survival not camping , Survive. Get a commercial tinder even. Don't rely on the mylars for a browse bag just add a simple 3 ply Trash bag to your kit. Cordage is worth its weight in a situation But I would move away from paracord especially if its the cheap kind and not actual Military 550 and go for maybe actual 550 or bank line. That saw looks like a UST Saw. I have their Survival Tarp its got loop holes and reflective interior so no need to use mylar sheets and its bright orange but everything else UST is pretty poor in quality better than OzarkTrail gear but still Go with a Bahco Laplander instead. You could have gotten alot better items for the money you spent in my opinion my Tarp was only 15$ and has the Mylar aluminum built into it its UST but Ive used it its quality for the money. Mora knife is more trusted for camping and is around 10 or more theyve gone up some but you can still find them. Its a bigger kit but its lower quality and most of the items wouldn't really do you much good for a 72 hour kit. You should try to condense the kit down as its not practical its quite bulky and you would be less likely to carry it. Most of these items can fit into a smaller more practical kit. You dont have anything in there for fishing either but why not add an energy inexpensive ready to go Power bar and a fishing kit? Ueasy Lensatic Compass is like 25$ and the'yre used by hikers not sure what you have there but with compasses 2 is one and one is none Cross reference it before you trust your life to it. I noticed also there's not first aid its not a must but its meant to help you survive why not include that. Lastly. Its a bit concerning youre teaching classes while building kits this way. Don't take that as an insult but if you're teaching you should have been past choosing items such as this by now and setting an example of its your Life on the line Dont buy the cheapest rope to trust your life to. I mean yeah they're items to show if you happen to have this or something like it sure but choosing this kit as an actual Survival kit and not a camping gear kit is concerning. You should have alot more experience with these items to have known about their inclusion in your kit for you to be teaching this. Please dont take that the wrong way but the things you teach are someone else's actual Survival Kit try to remember that. They'll look back at YOUR Training and instruction and gear you used and base life changing decisions on it so my advice is know what you're doing and about the gear extensively before trying to teach anyone as an Instructor.
The video is showing cheap gear that might be ok. You have no idea what context such a pack might be for. It might be thrown in the car as a get home pack for example. Anyway let’s see your video and I can point people in the direction of an expert.
@@michaelwaldeck7081 He didnt take what I said personal and I did put emphasis on the fact that he should take what I said with a grain of salt. Yet you have taken it upon yourself to be offended on his behalf. I actually did used to make videos on survival gear. I dont make comments to make people come to my channel. I dont make comments to make people think Im right. I made an observation and spoke my personal opinion. You can be offended he has yet to say anything negative in reply to what I said. But I agree with you however I only tell someone lets see your video on it... when they put someone down. I never put him down I made an observation gave my opinion. Unilke others who give opinions and act like they are experts I do not. I admit myself i have knowledge but lack application of that knowledge in experience. However I also unlike others actually did make videos on this at one time... Im not casting stones here Im simply pointing out things and asking if someone is creating inferior kits they are going to be using to Teach someone to survive should they be instructing others for money to survive if their own kit doesnt include the basics that are meant to aid in Survival and not make your life harder when in that situation? Be offended theres nothing wrong with you being offended by what I said it doesnt change what I said.
@@michaelwaldeck7081 Here is the thing. You can order inferior questionable gear from some place that makes it in bulk over seas that may take 2 months to get here for a cheap option.. BUT WHY? In the 2months it takes to get here you could have bought gear that while is generic has a reputation for working when its needed here in the US or simply bought a better known better quality item for your kit? You said I have no idea what context such a pack might be for but yes I do actually he discloses its a 72 Survival Kit. That is the context. Its a kit meant to help you survive for 3 days. The items in that bag indicate exactly what its uses are for. Everything I said about that kit makes 100% sense to have said because the goal is Survival. Why would leave yourself scrambling to get a fire going with a ferro rod or screwing around with concentrating the suns rays for a fire when you in a Situation that requires the most practical and effortless means of survival to get you through when you could just simply include an item that is instant fire in the flick of a thumb and weighs little to nothing and is very small and can be dropped in water. Why risk improvising a bed with a light easy rip mylar blanket as a browse bag when it will destroy the blanket at the first rip and be full of holes poked in it from the browse bed materials when you can save the blankets as a heat reflector and use a very cheap 3 ply trash bag that has many uses beyond just a bed and will work far better for a browse bed purpose than your only option for reflecting heat back to your body? Why have two shemaghs both of the same color of the trees and the ground when youre wanting to keep them to use as signaling options over some bright light bandannas? Why have a two liter plastic Container of water when you can just add water bottles to the kit so that you dont have to go looking for water to boil it if having a bulky bag is no issue why not have 3 1 liter bottles of water in the kit? This keeps them separate to allow them to be added or removed from the kit for weight or cooking and then you can reuse them to collect the water and boil that water with the metal 1 liter container? And even improvise a water filter to hang then boil that collected water with the metal? SODIS as well... If the goal is 72 hours you have enough water for 1 human for 3 full days to allow full bodily function and if more is needed you have the means to collect it and disinfect it. Why not include power bars for fast light weight energy ? Think about it. A lighter in a bag with a bandanna bright colored 3 1 liters his metal container and some power bars along with his ferro rod and solar ignition a mora knife. Shemaghs if he wants them mylar blankets but why not add a tarp? 1 3ply garbage bag Some good 550 or even his cordage here and he would be good to go for three days solid with just the water bottles and power bars and a lighter... You could get all of these items in the US pretty quality with a decent carry bag for less than 100 dollars easily. Thats why I said all that I did. In my opinion he spent way too much because all of these items took a long time to get to him and they are questionable in quality. If you read this comment and are still upset about my comment than you do not understand constructive Criticism.
@@michaelwaldeck7081 The concern here is he stated hes a Survival Instructor. Meaning hes imparting this information to others who have likely paid him for instruction and he stated he intended to use that kit. This kits design and choice of where he bought it for the money that he bought it for reflect directly on his knowledge of Survival and Bushcraft. My personal opinion is if you are teaching others LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Try not to teach Buy Once Die Once and go a bit more with Buy once Cry once because you are setting an example. Think "You should train how you fight". My personal opinion is if youre creating kits like this youre not very experienced and you shouldnt be teaching others how to survive. You should not be including extra tent stakes to use as Tinder because you simply didnt have tinder in your kit. You shouldnt have redundacy for a solar ignition fire while not having means to create fire easily and then call your kit a survival kit. You should not be including items for signaling that are the same color as the woods or ground... You should not be including items that may be the difference between life and death to prevent hypothermia to use a browse bed knowing that item would be very easily destroyed by that useage and far better suited to be used for its purpose to reflect heat.. when you could simply include other things to make a browse bed from. These decisions reflect directly on the lack of knowledge and applications of these items. To order all of these items to assemble a kit for 100$ and make all these decisions willfully to assemble this kit says you should not be teaching others how to survive because you lack the knowledge yourself on how to survive. A person can take that being said as insult and believe that what they are doing is perfectly fine or they can take that and read it and acknowledge it and give some real thought to it. I'm being brutally honest with no disrespect intended. The goal in the Survival community is to get people to be prepared to Survive and sometimes you means pointing some things out that need to be addressed. We are all learning and striving to be better and more well prepared.
OK well I think you have answered that pretty amazingly. I hope some people read all the time and effort you put into that. It made a lot of sense. Maybe you should do a video on using cheap stuff.
Everything i bought i have good experience with, DO NOT USE A DEBIT CARD OR THEY WILL GET YOU FOR FRAUD. other than that it is cheap half way decent items. 😊
Its an app where Chinese manufacturers sell products. I try to buy as much American made as I can. But there are certain products you just can't avoid buying from China.
Really enjoyed your video and gave you a thumbs up.....please clean up the language. Going to subscribe to your channel as I really enjoyed most of your content. Hope to stay a subscriber for many more of your videos. Thanks!
Really? Everything inside the bag is ok to be bought off of temu, but you for some reason draw the line with the questionable quality of the bags… dude that’s funny… I’ve bought bags and pouches on there that are almost identical to offerings from vanquest and condor except a third of the price. So far, I’ve had no issues with them. There is a 3 piece emergency tent/bivy/poncho kit for $12 that’s in my opinion made of a material a little heftier than the Mylar blankets, to me feels more like a thick trash can liner with a Mylar side.
Most of the bags on temu use Polyester. Which for occasional use is alright, basically on the same level as Rothco products. As I mentioned also, since I was trying to get as close to the $100 mark as I could, a bag just wasn't viable in that budget range.
Why do you guys continue to buy from Chines companies? I would not recommend dealing with them. Temu is a big Chinese company selling very cheap items. They have a ridiculously big marketing budget and they are making a huge loss on every sale but by doing this they hope to force out the competition and the way it's going they will. They won't be able to sustain the cheap prices forever but hope that they will gain the market share with their cheap price strategy. By shopping with them it will force many smaller businesses out of the market and out of business, which will have an adverse effect on the economy of your country. Support your local businesses and stop buying into this cheap price strategy.
That's all perfect for an obvious rookie like you, but for experienced veterans like myself..when I put my life in the hands of my gear, you can bet your candy-ass I ALWAYS BUY TOP OF THE LINE, MADE IN THE U.S.A.!! And I would NEVER BY FROM THESE CHINESE SHAM CORPOORATIONS LIKE "TEEMU"!!😮😅😅😅..but good for you bruh!!😉👍 don't get killed out there!!
That would be a great starter kit for a newbie as a gift, too!
This is a great start up kit. Cost is amazing value would be good to road test some of this. Opens the door for many more people who can’t justify paying top dollar for the brand stuff. Thanks for sharing.
First time to your channel - sent here by Corporal Kelly from Corporal’s Corner. Glad to be here
The ferro rod has lanyard holes on both ends , for swapping ends. When you belly it out one way. You can swap it around.
That makes sense. Just something I've ever seen before.
@@adaptablesurvival the only reason I know is I’ve seen some folks do that themselves after having a road for a while.
If you rotate a bit on every stroke you won't belly it out and it will last longer.
@@jimbouchard9387 this is true. But there will always be a portion at the end , where you hold it , that never gets touched. Swapping ends is why it has the extra holds.
But my gosh, these massive ferro rods last forever as is.
I'd love to see you put this kit to the test :)
Ya know I get the whole made in America thing but stuff like this simply opens the door and lowers the bar of entry to an amazing arena of knowledge and experience
Oh 100% agree. Even going with budget options on Amazon, you're still looking at $200+
Hi, new subscriber here great video , love the fixed blade knife ..looks great value .the 2 litre water bottle looks good ..

I'd add backpack to the top dollar list, too. A good one will last a lifetime.
I got 2 of those headlamps. They are awesome for the money. Plenty of light and stay charged for a good amount of time.

Paul well done on this video! Temu has been good for me.
Magnifying lense. Dollar 25 store has plastic Fresnel lenses. Cut to size use char cloth or punk wood and you have an ember. It works.
2 things that i would upgrade, genuine victorinox feildmaster.
2 really good poncho.

You gonna do an overnight with this kit?
Perhaps
Thank you for your work to gather the supplies.
I will be looking forward to viewing your
report on the usefulness of the products,
because I am constructing beginner kits for
4 GRANDkids and others.
Good video & to the point.
I am curious as to whether your
Para cord does have 7 strands inside-
I have found some at WallyWorld with an outer sheath with just a fluffy core!
I am also interested in the SAK knockoffs
as to the knife and saw blades and whether the body of the knife will hold up to a little
use as for cutting notches in small branches
for constructing L 7 trap triggers-
Of course the same goes for the full tang
Sheath knife and folding saw.
Light work for three days is useful but Your
Testing while Teaching will give You and then
YOUR VIEWERS SOME VERY USEFUL DATA!
Be careful as SURVIVAL WHILE DRIVING
IS a matter for YOUR FULL ATTENTION !
Looking forward to your experiences as
you try out these tools for us!
Great video guy loved it. I would keep that bright colored lanyard on there just in case you dropped it and was trying to find it.
I've yet to run into that with my knife. But definitely a valid point.
Great prices, but is it worth it when the site mines your phone / computer data?
Definitely a concern. But most apps are collecting data to some degree. I also have a program installed in my phone that scans for malicious software.
I've bought a decent amount of survival gear from Temu, looking forward to trying them out at some point.
Really enjoyed ur down to earth presentation and approach. Just subscribed. Good luck with your classes.
Have you opened the poncho? Is it full size and does it seem like it would hold up? Does it have grommets to use as a shelter?
Very nice kit, you may want to incorporate a pair of sturdy gloves since you’re using sharp tools, for the novice or inexperienced. In a a true survival situation. 👍🏻
I would be interested in hearing your results after using the equipment, including your opinion on whether it would actually be durable enough in a 72 hour situation.
The saw on your knock off Swiss Army knife that you don't think is worth a darn is most likely a fish scaler and hook removal tool.
Yeah, I already broke the scissors on it... more to come in the coming video.
Great video Paul! I’ve been doing a few reviews on Temu products and I have to say I’m surprised by the quality vs cost of the items!
I am now a subscriber. Nice work, man!

Definitely going to test gear from Temu. I build 4 types of kits for personal contacts ranging from PSK’s to get-home bags & BOB’s all the way up to 7-10 day home emergency kits. Pricing is always a challenge. Am I willing to put that piece of junk “SAK” into a kit? No. Absolutely not. It won’t last a week in the bush.

Never said this would be my go-to knife. It's what I could find on Temu that fit my criteria.
I got a knife similar to from Temu but in 9cr19mov. It actually feels really good in the hand and when I did some hard testing it held up well with no rolling or chipping. Pleased with it but giving it away.
Carrying sleeve could be used to carry different things also
Would like to know the links to the products on Temu.
Is that a real SAK or a nock off? I ask because the saws on the real ones have worked very well for me.
Thank you for this info...where are the Temu item links?
I wanna see how that "D2" knife holds up
I love that knife I almost bought it on Amazon
NICE, Thanks for this - Most informative!
A mate of mine has started using Temu and I will be sending him this video.
One question; Do you have any info on the type of steel used for the knife?
Cheers
It's listed as D2. I've never used a D2 knife so I'm curious to see how it holds up.
D2 will need greater care against rust. It will hold its edge longer than 9cr19mov but will also be a little more brittle. Lots of people complain about poor heat treatment on d2. That knife looks pretty good though. D2 should get razor sharp.
Shoulda got the bag from Temu as well. Pretty good kit. I think a $200 kit woulda gave you more options and some better gear.
Eh, most of the bags looked like the cheap Rothco bags. They are ok quality, but I'd rather people invest their money in a quality pack that won't rip out on them.
most will last a life time. They aren't high end with high end materials, but they are made well enough to last.@@adaptablesurvival
Love the channel just found it like the vids you should do a survival challenge with that kit would love to see u survive 72 hours on that kit see how that gear holds up
Can you put wood chips in a fire starter kit
Now test the items, can you survive with them, really work in a real situation?
Chapters would be great!
yeah use it and see where it gets you.
thats the video i wanna see.
A left hand lanyard hole and a right hand lanyard hole on the ferro rod. Ambidextrous
Multifunctionality 😂🤣

You should ditch one of those bulky rags and include an emergency fishing kit.line and hooks at least.maybe some bandaids.headache medicine.a mini pen light.bic lighter wrapped in duct tape.just a few ideas.ypu forgot alot of basics for 72 hour timeframe.
Guess you missed where I said this was a survival kit based off items I could source on Temu.
Did you forgot the emergency first aid kit?
There's certain pieces of gear that can work from Temu and others that I wouldn't trust. Medical gear is one I wouldn't trust from a Temu seller. There are some pieces like Israeli bandages or the like, but things like TQs I wouldn't trust. Just my opinion.
Honestly i Don't believe any of the stuff will last and I wouldn't be surprised if the plastic is really dirty and leeching i would not trust any sort of water bottle from TAMU just me And I've had cheap saws like that from the dollar store they're $5 here at the store and they work for a little bit but lose edge really fast i have found
GREAT SCORE MATE.
Link for the cup pls ?
They're website was a tragedy. How many hours were you on it to find the gear you bought?
Let's just say it was a struggle... Definitely some things are lost in translation
@@adaptablesurvivalcan you put the link for some of them stuff
Props to you for having a kit youre now more prepared than about 90% of the population. Now Im going to speak from my own opinion keep in mind I have a lot of knowledge and not alot of personal experience. But here is my opinion. You paid too much for that kit. Your most expensive item should have been your knife. this was meant to be a 72 hours survival kit and some of the items just don't make a lot of sense. Please take this opinion with a grain of salt.
A Bic lighter is a quick inexpensive fire starter you don't have one in the kit but you went the extra mile to get not one but two methods of Solar ignition. The 2 liter jug and when your Metal one for boiling water is only a one liter. Yes its water storage but its also weight the body needs 1 liter a day. If you're going to carry that weight just add some water to your kit and use a smaller canteen. You mention about those tent stakes and said you had extra just in case you need to use them as tinder and that brings me back to fire, you don't have any tinder why not add a couple pinches of Dryer lint to the kit in a zip lock bag or some cotton balls with vaseline? Set yourself up for success zero effort fire why use a striker that's an emergency have no fire items tool ??
Its Survival not camping , Survive. Get a commercial tinder even. Don't rely on the mylars for a browse bag just add a simple 3 ply Trash bag to your kit. Cordage is worth its weight in a situation But I would move away from paracord especially if its the cheap kind and not actual Military 550 and go for maybe actual 550 or bank line. That saw looks like a UST Saw. I have their Survival Tarp its got loop holes and reflective interior so no need to use mylar sheets and its bright orange but everything else UST is pretty poor in quality better than OzarkTrail gear but still Go with a Bahco Laplander instead.
You could have gotten alot better items for the money you spent in my opinion my Tarp was only 15$ and has the Mylar aluminum built into it its UST but Ive used it its quality for the money.
Mora knife is more trusted for camping and is around 10 or more theyve gone up some but you can still find them. Its a bigger kit but its lower quality and most of the items wouldn't really do you much good for a 72 hour kit. You should try to condense the kit down as its not practical its quite bulky and you would be less likely to carry it. Most of these items can fit into a smaller more practical kit. You dont have anything in there for fishing either but why not add an energy inexpensive ready to go Power bar and a fishing kit? Ueasy Lensatic Compass is like 25$ and the'yre used by hikers not sure what you have there but with compasses 2 is one and one is none Cross reference it before you trust your life to it. I noticed also there's not first aid its not a must but its meant to help you survive why not include that.
Lastly. Its a bit concerning youre teaching classes while building kits this way. Don't take that as an insult but if you're teaching you should have been past choosing items such as this by now and setting an example of its your Life on the line Dont buy the cheapest rope to trust your life to. I mean yeah they're items to show if you happen to have this or something like it sure but choosing this kit as an actual Survival kit and not a camping gear kit is concerning. You should have alot more experience with these items to have known about their inclusion in your kit for you to be teaching this. Please dont take that the wrong way but the things you teach are someone else's actual Survival Kit try to remember that. They'll look back at YOUR Training and instruction and gear you used and base life changing decisions on it so my advice is know what you're doing and about the gear extensively before trying to teach anyone as an Instructor.
The video is showing cheap gear that might be ok. You have no idea what context such a pack might be for. It might be thrown in the car as a get home pack for example. Anyway let’s see your video and I can point people in the direction of an expert.
@@michaelwaldeck7081 He didnt take what I said personal and I did put emphasis on the fact that he should take what I said with a grain of salt. Yet you have taken it upon yourself to be offended on his behalf. I actually did used to make videos on survival gear. I dont make comments to make people come to my channel. I dont make comments to make people think Im right. I made an observation and spoke my personal opinion. You can be offended he has yet to say anything negative in reply to what I said.
But I agree with you however I only tell someone lets see your video on it... when they put someone down. I never put him down I made an observation gave my opinion.
Unilke others who give opinions and act like they are experts I do not. I admit myself i have knowledge but lack application of that knowledge in experience. However I also unlike others actually did make videos on this at one time... Im not casting stones here Im simply pointing out things and asking if someone is creating inferior kits they are going to be using to Teach someone to survive should they be instructing others for money to survive if their own kit doesnt include the basics that are meant to aid in Survival and not make your life harder when in that situation? Be offended theres nothing wrong with you being offended by what I said it doesnt change what I said.
@@michaelwaldeck7081 Here is the thing. You can order inferior questionable gear from some place that makes it in bulk over seas that may take 2 months to get here for a cheap option.. BUT WHY? In the 2months it takes to get here you could have bought gear that while is generic has a reputation for working when its needed here in the US or simply bought a better known better quality item for your kit?
You said I have no idea what context such a pack might be for but yes I do actually he discloses its a 72 Survival Kit. That is the context. Its a kit meant to help you survive for 3 days. The items in that bag indicate exactly what its uses are for.
Everything I said about that kit makes 100% sense to have said because the goal is Survival. Why would leave yourself scrambling to get a fire going with a ferro rod or screwing around with concentrating the suns rays for a fire when you in a Situation that requires the most practical and effortless means of survival to get you through when you could just simply include an item that is instant fire in the flick of a thumb and weighs little to nothing and is very small and can be dropped in water.
Why risk improvising a bed with a light easy rip mylar blanket as a browse bag when it will destroy the blanket at the first rip and be full of holes poked in it from the browse bed materials when you can save the blankets as a heat reflector and use a very cheap 3 ply trash bag that has many uses beyond just a bed and will work far better for a browse bed purpose than your only option for reflecting heat back to your body?
Why have two shemaghs both of the same color of the trees and the ground when youre wanting to keep them to use as signaling options over some bright light bandannas? Why have a two liter plastic Container of water when you can just add water bottles to the kit so that you dont have to go looking for water to boil it if having a bulky bag is no issue why not have 3 1 liter bottles of water in the kit? This keeps them separate to allow them to be added or removed from the kit for weight or cooking and then you can reuse them to collect the water and boil that water with the metal 1 liter container? And even improvise a water filter to hang then boil that collected water with the metal? SODIS as well...
If the goal is 72 hours you have enough water for 1 human for 3 full days to allow full bodily function and if more is needed you have the means to collect it and disinfect it.
Why not include power bars for fast light weight energy ?
Think about it. A lighter in a bag with a bandanna bright colored 3 1 liters his metal container and some power bars along with his ferro rod and solar ignition a mora knife.
Shemaghs if he wants them mylar blankets but why not add a tarp? 1 3ply garbage bag Some good 550 or even his cordage here and he would be good to go for three days solid with just the water bottles and power bars and a lighter... You could get all of these items in the US pretty quality with a decent carry bag for less than 100 dollars easily. Thats why I said all that I did.
In my opinion he spent way too much because all of these items took a long time to get to him and they are questionable in quality.
If you read this comment and are still upset about my comment than you do not understand constructive Criticism.
@@michaelwaldeck7081
The concern here is he stated hes a Survival Instructor. Meaning hes imparting this information to others who have likely paid him for instruction and he stated he intended to use that kit.
This kits design and choice of where he bought it for the money that he bought it for reflect directly on his knowledge of Survival and Bushcraft. My personal opinion is if you are teaching others LEAD BY EXAMPLE. Try not to teach Buy Once Die Once and go a bit more with Buy once Cry once because you are setting an example.
Think "You should train how you fight".
My personal opinion is if youre creating kits like this youre not very experienced and you shouldnt be teaching others how to survive. You should not be including extra tent stakes to use as Tinder because you simply didnt have tinder in your kit. You shouldnt have redundacy for a solar ignition fire while not having means to create fire easily and then call your kit a survival kit. You should not be including items for signaling that are the same color as the woods or ground... You should not be including items that may be the difference between life and death to prevent hypothermia to use a browse bed knowing that item would be very easily destroyed by that useage and far better suited to be used for its purpose to reflect heat.. when you could simply include other things to make a browse bed from.
These decisions reflect directly on the lack of knowledge and applications of these items. To order all of these items to assemble a kit for 100$ and make all these decisions willfully to assemble this kit says you should not be teaching others how to survive because you lack the knowledge yourself on how to survive.
A person can take that being said as insult and believe that what they are doing is perfectly fine or they can take that and read it and acknowledge it and give some real thought to it. I'm being brutally honest with no disrespect intended. The goal in the Survival community is to get people to be prepared to Survive and sometimes you means pointing some things out that need to be addressed. We are all learning and striving to be better and more well prepared.
OK well I think you have answered that pretty amazingly. I hope some people read all the time and effort you put into that. It made a lot of sense. Maybe you should do a video on using cheap stuff.
Wash ya shemogs so that any coloura an chenicals from manufacturing come out.
Dammit, what state do you live in? Looks beautiful!
Link for the knife?
Add a bic lighter. In an emergency you need a sure flame. Pack of 3 4 dollars
Nice video. I like your approach to showing people things. You earned a sub from me.
no first aid? Even a boo-boo kind of kit? Or just not worth getting from Temu?
He was shoppin like a millionaire!!
Everything i bought i have good experience with, DO NOT USE A DEBIT CARD OR THEY WILL GET YOU FOR FRAUD. other than that it is cheap half way decent items. 😊
Is TEMU a Chinese company? I am trying to buy USA only.
Its an app where Chinese manufacturers sell products. I try to buy as much American made as I can. But there are certain products you just can't avoid buying from China.
Why not add a Bic lighter? I carry one everywhere on everything wrapped in a couple of feet of duck tape
Because this was building a kit with stuff from Temu. I have plenty of Bics so there will be one in the kit.
Temu gives all of your data to the ccp, fair warning.
Really enjoyed your video and gave you a thumbs up.....please clean up the language. Going to subscribe to your channel as I really enjoyed most of your content. Hope to stay a subscriber for many more of your videos. Thanks!
get camp knife with fork and spoon off emu lol
If I bring any utensils, it's usually only a long handle spoon. Since I will be carrying at least one knife with me.
Nice kit, but 😅 you call it a survival kit but no first aid kit 😉
Not bad. Hopefully, you'll never need outside of the classroom.
Really? Everything inside the bag is ok to be bought off of temu, but you for some reason draw the line with the questionable quality of the bags… dude that’s funny…
I’ve bought bags and pouches on there that are almost identical to offerings from vanquest and condor except a third of the price. So far, I’ve had no issues with them.
There is a 3 piece emergency tent/bivy/poncho kit for $12 that’s in my opinion made of a material a little heftier than the Mylar blankets, to me feels more like a thick trash can liner with a Mylar side.
Most of the bags on temu use Polyester. Which for occasional use is alright, basically on the same level as Rothco products. As I mentioned also, since I was trying to get as close to the $100 mark as I could, a bag just wasn't viable in that budget range.
Keep giving that money to China
Cost not costed not in the tense you're using.
👍🏼
Why do you guys continue to buy from Chines companies? I would not recommend dealing with them. Temu is a big Chinese company selling very cheap items.
They have a ridiculously big marketing budget and they are making a huge loss on every sale but by doing this they hope to force out the competition and the way it's going they will. They won't be able to sustain the cheap prices forever but hope that they will gain the market share with their cheap price strategy. By shopping with them it will force many smaller businesses out of the market and out of business, which will have an adverse effect on the economy of your country. Support your local businesses and stop buying into this cheap price strategy.
Should probably ask why so many big companies choose to do this? A vast majority of outdoor companies get products made in China.
Survival expert want to be .
Thanks for comment Keyboard commando 👍🏼
My one experience with temu, cheap junk.
u lost me on the tent pegs waist of space
I'd rather carry them then make them everytime I want to set up my tarp.
If I teach you artificial way to meditate, will you learn it.
14 tent sticks when there is sticks available in the wild
@darrellhaywood682 why waste time carving tent stakes when you can carry them?
No aquea tabs?
Nothing on Temu.
That's all perfect for an obvious rookie like you, but for experienced veterans like myself..when I put my life in the hands of my gear, you can bet your candy-ass I ALWAYS BUY TOP OF THE LINE, MADE IN THE U.S.A.!! And I would NEVER BY FROM THESE CHINESE SHAM CORPOORATIONS LIKE "TEEMU"!!😮😅😅😅..but good for you bruh!!😉👍 don't get killed out there!!
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
