Great kit, Lilly. I carry almost the same things, but added a small tube of antibacterial ointment, a few tablets of KI, and a small magnifying lense for making fire in sunny conditions. The cotton balls are soaked in petroleum jelly and stored in a small medicine bottle. My wife and I love your videos and input. Longtime fans. Stay safe out there!
We need to go armadillo huntin some night, ever eat armadillo? Very good especially when baked. My dog enjoys it with me
What is KI plz?
@cecemeadows8117 kerosene? We call it K1 I don't know why?
@@RealJasmineLoveI am pretty sure he is talking about potassium iodide tablets (KI)
Bag Balm has petroleum jelly plus sulfur. Used on cows for cuts, etc.If you are not allergic to sulfur, then can use one the cotton balls for cuts or fire.
Anyone else noticed the compasses. lily either one or both of them are broken that or you have a powerful magnet nearby
There is a metal tin right next to them!!
Hey Lilly - I agree you've put together a really great kit. The only thing that I would recommend (and which doesn't take up much space) is to add a few pain-killer pills, like aspirin, acetaminophen, naproxen sodium, and ibuprofen. These can help you sleep if you are injured or have sore muscles, and help keep you going to get to help or safety. They can be put into the straws and sealed up, like you have already done for your kit. Also consider adding some anti-diarrheal tablets and something with bismuth for stomach problems. Again, these can be bought in very small sizes and should be changed out when you check your battery for your flashlight.
You know what thats not a bad suggestion I would even think now to add a Benedryll or Alavert if they have it in her country some countries don't have these things.
But if you got into some bad stuff or stung by a bee hell even snake bit something for allergic reaction would be worth its weight in gold. Only issue is that using benedryll causes drowsiness and that wouldn't be good to have but could certainly help you sleep. Thats the only thing about adding things in cut straws and unmarked containers if youre not in the wild a the police find it in your kit they could say its something else or think it is and in some countries you could end up in legal trouble.
Everything I mentioned can be bought over-the-counter (i.e., without doctor's prescription) at any apothecary and even petrol stations in the US. As you suggest, would be a good idea to identify the contents of the straws so you'll know what to reach for if you have problems and the authorities can likewise easily check if there are any questions. Given the wide availability of dangerous drugs like fentanyl, it would probably not be a good use of their time rummaging through your bug-out bag, but these days who knows ??
I'll add too. Thanks for the valuable suggestion🎉
This is why I love your channel! Never even occurred to me that a very stressful situation like that would affect hormones and menstrual cycles... Won't see any guys covering that lol. Thanks Lilly!
Yes and I was surprised by this myself since it happened to me on Naked and Afraid
More important, have you seen what's going on in the Netherlands ?
The EU's days are numbered!
Any survival kit, go bag must be customized to...
1. What may happen.
2. The environment your in.
3. Your immediate needs.
I saw a q & a with Les Stroud a long time ago. He was asked about carrying a lighter, and answered - "If you go out without a Bic lighter, you're an idiot."
Many moons ago, when getting to a doctor’s was not an option, my late mother would gather cobwebs from anywhere to stop bleeding. Just FYI, the Yarrow plant (Achillea millefolium), is a well known styptic along with Goldenrod (Solidago) and Horsetail (Equisetum arvense). Perhaps, a small amount could be gathered (best done before the sun rises) dried and stored. Go well 🙏🏼
I’m amazed you were able to fit all of that in such a small container. Excellent work!
No doubt. And the container is an item!
Lilly, thank you so much for all your videos! I appreciate the reports on conditions in Europe & always learn something from your how to videos. This is an awesome kit you are sharing. Blessings from NW Florida!
Something I've realised with this video as a man: I'd rather have tampons or pads than fishing gear.
I do a lot of outdoors stuff and the last time I fished was over 15 years ago. The last time a female friend had a period was within the last couple of weeks.
I think I know what would be more useful immediately.
It's also good to stop bleeding in case of emergency. I've added 3 pads to my kit.
I feel like carrying a menstrual cup is more useful in these situations. I'm a woman and I hate cups but I think it's better for real survival situations like when you can't just go to home when you want to, that way she won't need multiple stuff
Really nice kit! Gonna use a few of your ideas. That particular Victorinox knife is really nice, have always wanted that one. Ordered 😄 Thanks Lilly

"A lot of people will stop trusting compasses and other weird stuff."
Compasses proceed to give conflicting directions for several minutes.
6:00
I like to use different straw colors for different contents (yellow is sunscreen, red is triple antibiotic ointment, green is deet, etc.). Also, if you're crafty, you can use them to make neon slipping or spinning lures for fishing after you open one.
finally someone talking about the compasses lol
I came here to suggest maybe two more compasses were needed, then to throw one of the old ones out 😂
Yeah, I noticed the Compasses.
The compasses are attracted to the metal box. You know, compasses are basically magnets.
@@CsZsolt Well, one of them is, anyway.
Lilly, I've learned so much from you over the years. Bought a couple of your knives too! Great quality. Nice kit.
It's truly amazing how much you put into such a small container. I love your videos, and opinions, sorry to hear some of the platforms don't agree. If you take away a person's right to have an opinion, what do you leave them. Stay strong keep up the great work you're doing.
I've seen some videos in the US that use cans of tunafish in oil. You eat the tuna and use the can and the oil for a heat source or a way to heat up or cook stuff.
The oil is full of calories.
Lilly that is a great kit! I remember when I was in the 5th grade one of our assignments was to make a survival kit that fit in a metal band aid box. Its amazing how much stuff you can put in one of those. I would keep it in my jacket pocket for a couple of years until I moved out of the mountain community I lived in during my youth. So a couple of notes on your kit, another use for a tampon is also to plug a wound, I had friend do that exact thing with a friend when one of them got a serious puncture wound, he put three or four into the wound and wrapped with a bandage until they were able to get medical help, it did a great job of slowing down the bleeding. the other thing, is to put a bullion cube or two into your kit, you boil water and add the bullion to the water to make soup per say. so it's salt with some extra flavor. Always enjoy your content, and look forward to your videos. Stay SAFE out there and keep us updated on the situation Europe, God bless!
How did your friend get that wound? Sounds awful.
Your friend had a great outcome however, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND " AGAINST" USING TAMPONS TO STOP BLEEDING. Tampons absorb blood they do not STOP THE BLEED.
Youre much more better off using Quickclot, gauze and Pressure. A hemostatic dressing is 100x better than resorting to a Tampon. Heres why, again they absorb blood BUT NOT MUCH OF IT. 9ML... with 4 square inches of surface area. An arterial bleed can bleed 500- 1500ML... So in seconds your tampon method is completely full of blood and useless. The tampon advice is still being passed around as a method but is an ill fated one based on Myth and like your story almost every story out there is Someone who knows someone. Do not trust your life or anyone elses to a tampon ever. Hemostatic wound dressing has a surface area of over 400 Square inches they are impregnated with hemostatic agents and are z-folded and compressed so they will not only stop the bleeding but help with clotting. A tampon in a serious bleeding situation used with that advice could result in death.
Stop the circulating of that Tampon as a first aid option so that others do not ever trust their life to it. Whatever happened with your friend does not defeat the fact that they don't hold much blood and wont stop the bleeding. Never use them for a gunshot wound its a myth. USE REAL DRESSINGS designed for the purpose.
@@ArmaGuyz Quickclot is very dangerous!
A very good kit. One can see that your emphasis is on fire. The only thing I'm missing is a few sewing needles or sewing kit. For repair or alteration of clothing and magnetised as a third compass possibly. Keep the videos coming, I enjoy them. Gruß
NOW take just that kit and go camp to test out the kit for 3 days
I'd toss a skin glue pen in there too. Theyre tiny, cheap, light, and help a ton with closing wounds.
Add instant coffee.. sugar..more Safety pins
I never leave batteries in the flashlight. They tend to corroded the terminals and destroy the flashlight.I keep them separate
Not lithium!
100% right, I lost 5 flashlights because of the battery corrosion
That's not true with good batteries like Energizer. If you use the flashilight, even once in while ,there is no reason to remove the batteries. You remove them, only for VERY long term storage,where the flashlight, isn't going to be used for a year for example..
What batteries did you use? Where any of these Energizer rechargables, or Alkaline? If not ,then use Energizer batteries next time. They not only last longer, but they also never leak.@@alsalieby1981
@@greekveteran2715definitely 👍
Lily always seems to get it right. Out of all the survival channels out there, this is one of about 3 that I actually respect and trust.
What are the other two channels, if I may ask?
which are the other two? uwu
Show me a case, where a human being's life was saved, because he/she, watched a TH-cam video, of a survival kit.that he/she, used and it was the reason that life was saved... To make it easy for you, there are ZERO such cases. TH-cam videos, are all about matketing, advertisments, and how to make money and fame fast, by uploading videos/ (In most cases, the TH-camrs,,aren't even experts, on what they claim they are..)
PS that has nothing to do, with Lilly, or this video. I'm talking in general and I only mentioned, FACTS.
Dental floss is surprisingly good Cordage. It's a great thing to put in your kit.
The fishing line spool. You either need to trim down the spool so it takes up less space or put something else on it (like bank line) to effectivly use the space.
Love this. My suggestion would be instead of using a metal tin, I have mine inside an old camping pot (or you could use a Stanley pot). No need to makeshift handles. Ready for cooking and carrying! Making my next one inside a Kelly kettle.
The fishing Wire should be rolled around the container with hooks. For saving room.
Fishing line doesn't take up much room at all. You wouldn't want to do that, because then you would have to pick up the kit in other to unreel it and having it around the container leaves the line open to damage BUT Paracord most certain could be wrapped around the inside of the kit. The Braided line shes got there is really good line too. Fishing line tangles so easily though and if you have to cut it to untangle it you could lose a great deal of valuable length needed.
The spool for the fishing line (~2:10) wastes volume (in the core, and outside of the wound line itself). It makes sense to me to have the spooled fishing line stored with -- even joined to -- the fishing kit, the body of which can be used as a handle/pull for the line in use.
The safety pin might better be replaced with a kilt pin -- extra heavy duty, to the point of lethality.
The paracord bracelet would probably best be used (and stored) as the handle for the whole kit, the lid of which should probably be metal rather than plastic. Having the cord on the outside makes it more accessible -- in fact, immediately accessible. Are there metal 'fastex' clips available which could, once riveted to the outside of the can, allow the bracelet to be clipped onto the can?
The sealed straws containing fire-starting material puts me in mind of the possibility of creating re-sealable bags, of arbitrary dimensions, from store-bought re-sealable (zipper) food bags using a Decosonic (or similar) resealer. I'll have to try this...
Lily, thank you for all your wonderful videos over the years. Will this type of can withstand the heat required to boil water several times? That was my only concern. I also like to always carry paper towel for it's robustness, and I spary any repellent on the towel and use that to apply to my skin, face and clothing. It also makes the mixture last longer, and the paper can be moistened and used a couple times.I have watched you since you first started many years ago. You are one of my favorites:) Best of luck to you and always remember, fire, water, shelter food. With those four things any human being can survive, thrive and find happiness and contentment:)
you can use a camping cooking pot.
Great little kit, Lilly. I'd keep the tiny clove oil bottle (for toothache) and the tiny tea tree oil bottle (antibacterial/disinfectant) in there, too. And more pins/needles (for digging out splinters etc).
Add Bog myrtle oil for repelling biting midges, horseflies and mosquitoes!
Thank you for saying, lighters are great. All the , "how to start a fire videos", use a dam lighter! End of story.
I'd also have some activated charcoal pills. A sewing needle/thread. Antibiotic ointment/silver.
I think though this is great! Very often I’ll have all to most of these things in my everyday carry bag or dits in pockets , instead of carrying a tin with them in. But perhaps I should and use it more for every day instead or just emergencies? What do you think?
Awesome.
Dyneema cordage worth considering for space saving. Recommend storing battery(s) separate from light. Honey serves as both first aid and food. Really like the tin, and your idea for sealing with electrical tape.
And the idea of putting more tape in kit, and bag in kit to carry it all... chef's kiss.
Lilly, you have created a well-thought-out kit that anyone may build. I especially appreciate that one component of the kit is a metal container that could be used to pasteurize questionable water. We will certainly try out your insect-repellent recipe. Where we live in the tropics there is a risk of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever.
I don’t live in the tropics, but there are a ton of mosquitoes here in the summer… Deet seems to be the only thing that truly cuts it. I’ve tried essential oils, smell nicer, but doesn’t seem to work all that well or all that long.
Your thaughts, very interesting, the most important aspect composing a kit. I thank Steve Canterbury for the defenition of the Every Day System: Things you carry allways with you. For me around the neck day an night. Micro Photon and a plastique tent cleaner. As a smoker allways a little and a big BIC. Fixed by dyneema fishing line my Victorinox mini an a tactical! Mini flashlight and my keys, so i dont have to mind them in my actual EDC. Thank you, greetings from Styria, Herbert
I prefer weaker flashlights, that lasts at least 6 hours. Because it provides you light through whole night (if you need to walk or do something). Stronger flashlights that lasts only 2-3 hours are impractical. In tough survival situations it is recommended to walk through night and sleep during day. Because nights are very cold.
I agree but just fyi-- olights have 3 beam choices from dim to bright
I just love your videos you could do a daily news update
I think you are one of the the few that I enjoy to listen to because you have a great opinions and viewpoint
Thanks 🙏 also I’m German just live to hear you 😊
You're AMAZING Lilly!!! Thanks for sharing this!!!
A tampon also makes a good wound dressing, sterile, compact,absorbent.
you forgot to put your Centralized Government Digital ID and and some Digital Wallet currency as well....
Thanks for the great video, lilly. If you want more cordage and less bulk, you could use #36 tarred bank line. It has roughly the same strength as 550 and will last much longer.
Great kit, good idea to use a can as container instead of pouches. Not sure if i missed some painkillers or imodium
Great kit! I carry my kit in an MSR Alpine stowaway pot, check them out, they are awesome!
Wow, Lilly you are a amazing. And such a wonderful person. Thank you so much for caring about the people. You are far and few between. God bless you and your family. And please stay Strong. Thank you for everything you do for the people.
Love your videos. Good to know firsthand what’s going on in Europe. This is a great kit. As some of the comments suggest, I would add pain killers to the kit and general purpose antibiotics perhaps.
An empty chap stick container can fit a surprising amount of the good old cotton/vaseline mix. And for the size of the gummy bears, half a pack of 'Dextro Energy Tablets' or 'Glucotabs' (used by diabetics to treat hypos') would be better.
I keep a cotton ball stuffed in the cap of my chapstick. Torn in two, smeared with chapstick, its a good tinder for a couple fires.
9:10 Hi Lilly,
At this point you forgot to mention which model Victorinox you were demonstrating, in case people would like to buy that specific one. Personally, I am partial to the Hercules model.
One idea you might consider for excellent tinder: cotton make-up remover pads are very useful, cheap and readily available. Just add a small quantity of hand sanitizer gel and rub it in. A single spark from any source will ignite it for a nice hot flame that will last quite a while, to ignite whatever kindling you might have found. 10 such pads in a Zip-loc bag (to keep them dry) take up very little space and weigh almost nothing. Several of these bags distributed in your other kit will give you many effortless fires! Good one on the tea light - a great flame extender for harsh conditions, and they slip in easily under a kindling bundle.
Nice video and some interesting ideas. Good ideas for the ladies (which we men tend to forget about! Sorry about that.).
Cheers!
"an older model". I used to have one. The new model's main blade opens with a thumb yet as Lilly mentions it unlocks with a lateral spring
I also have a Victorinox Hercules. Unfortunately, they stopped making them.
@@CsZsolt I'm devastated to hear that! The Hercules is the perfect package, in my opinion!
A nice sized kit.
The locking blade may be against local laws. My SAK Hunter has, in addition, scissors for nail care and tweezers.
If your EDC is a folding knife, put a pliers multitool in the emergency kit, esp for dealing with wire and fish hooks.
Thin cordage for lanyards for all essential bits.
Paracetamol, immodium, moleskin, antiseptic. Beware of opiate painkillers when travelling abroad.
Potassium Permanganate.
The fishing line reel is a poor use of space. Fishing kit is for longer term food gathering.
I would add a few bouillon soup cubes.
I would add a pre-threaded needle sealed in a straw and a stick of lip balm with SPF 15 so it can double as sunscreen, many other survival uses for lip balm.
I am beyond impressed you were able to fit that many things in that small box. Well done.
No period lasts 1 tampon, risks TSS. Better to have 3 reusable washable bamboo fibre pads and rotate their use with wearing, washing & drying them. ❤
Great ideas!Thank you Lilly❤
Sewing needle with a big eye and you can use the dental floss to repair clothes / bags.
Small tube of super glue - designed for sealing wounds originally - can be used on cuts that need to be held together to stop bleeding.
Some Brufin tablets for pain killing.
Satellite phone ............................:)
When using lighters i prefer the see through casing, because bic lighters fuel have a habit of evaporating. So you will always know when to change them out. Never forget once the bic is out, it still contains the flint spark, so remove the safety grill on it and it a spark lite shooter.
Always invest in wax covered cotton calls, super cheap to make and can vastly improve your chance to keep a fire going. They act like mini candles that can last 3min up to 10min depending on how well you coated them.
Dental floss has a very decent tensile strength. I use it to sow with as well floss and can aid in fishing.
Your kit reminds me of the SAS tin kit. You did a great job.
Non lube condoms make great water bladders. Once you get past the thought of what they are.
Keep a small magnet, for the simple purpose of magnetism, to make your sowing needle into a make shift compass, if you lose you main compass, but avoid having contact with the compass, so do have it in the tin, but maybe on your belt knife.
Reallybigmonkey made the perfect point in his video. Have a trauma kit and then have a seperate boo boo kit. So when you need to close a wound its all together.
I keep a water straw and a 1 litre plastic soda bottle and use the soda bottle to store water. An just use the straw to filter from the bottle.
On the cordage deal, just wrap it around the tin. If you cant fit it in the tin then use the outside. Tape and rope.
Black walnut has a great anti pesticide properties. Something to think about.
Black walnut is generally for internal parasites. Is that what you mean?
Been Prepping for a while now, so obviously my bug out bag, and my get home bag that lives in the car are a lot more extensive, but think this kit is an amazing start for new people in the survival world, and is a great thing for caching I feel. In one tiny box you have covered all most everything you might need other than shelter, but with the items in this tiny box, you can overcome this anyway.
Thank you Lilly, this is small but mighty.
This is an excellent survival kit. Even an experienced outdoorsman and hunter like myself - and I live in a tropical environment - actually picked up a few pointers [ things to add to my own kit] when bugging out. Thank you for posting!
I liked the gummy bears Lilly...reminded me of the cartoon series i used to watch on Fox after school cartoons as a kid ..it was called "The Gummy Bears" lol 😂
Awesome video 📹 Lilly! A great kit. Keep up the great work 👌
how about adding small strips of car or bicycle tyre inner tube material , this rubber will light easily and burn well regardless of whether its wet or dry , very useful for starting fires and wont take up much space in your kit box
Nice kit ! You could put some magnesium flakes in the cotton fire starters ! Maybe hard candy , for a treat , take care ! 👍
Don’t forget to store some marijuana and some alcohol for end of the world situations.
😂 also stock on drugs & painkillers for trading with land pirates 🏴☠️ (perhaps best to join said pirates)
I've always wondered how many people seriously open wine bottles while bugging out.
I love your Accent es especially when you say Helicopter ❤.
Super Survival OO7 Chic
Did anyone else notice the compasses are not pointing in the same direction?!
Compasses do that for a few seconds
I would replace the gummie bears with vitamins
Sehr gute Zusammenstellung. Eine Mullbinde, um einen Druckverband anlegen zu können, könnte noch helfen. Die Angelschnur um die Hakendose wickeln. Von big gibt es auch kleine Feuerzeuge, die für den Notfall ausreichen sind 💗 🍀 😘
"Trust the compasses", while they point in different directions 😅 Otherwise, great video!
Does your Victornox have tweezers? So you could leave out the separate tweezers. If you wear the paracord bracelet, you'll have more room in the tin. Maybe add a couple of small sachets of sugar, or 2 sugar cubes, needle for sewing, two Oxo cubes, and 2 SEVEN OCEANS water rations. They are about 50ml and are in tiny plastic sachets. My bugout kits are like yours. You can use the tin to boil water, cook soup, or even make a small fire in.
Amazing contents in that small box! Thank you, Lily.
At 5:40 I thought Lilly was pulling out a joint. I thought well done Sister.
Shouldn't you have 3 compasses so you can pick the best 2 out of 3?
Dryer lint is fantastic for starting fires and you can flatten it out on the bottom of your container and it will fit. A little goes a long way so be careful. I don’t know if you have WalMart stores in Austria but they sell waterproof/wind proof matches in the hunting and camping section. A small magnifying glass is a good way to start fire as well.
Styptic powder is used to stop bleeding and I agree with the recommendation of some kind of antibiotic or silver ointment. You could also get a basic belt for yourself to carry the knife or a backup knife in a sheath, and I would recommend bungee cords(you can tie them around you to carry them, but obviously not too tight).
The only thing I really recommend would be to get a canteen for water because without water, you won’t do well. The canteen doesn’t have to be huge, and you can take one of those bungee cords and use that to carry it as if you were carrying a crossbody bag. A bandanna can also be used to filter water and they even sell bandannas that have a bunch of different “survival guides” printed right onto them. You could carry it by wearing it, of course.
The essential oils are indeed great for insect repellent but they are also very strong smelling, so I’m not sure if I would personally bring them if you’re trying to remain hidden. They can be smelled from a pretty good distance from where you are. Something for all to consider.
Lastly, you don’t want to be too clean and you might end up in a situation where you are going to want to spread the surrounding dirt, mud, plants and whatever else over you so you will blend in with your surroundings better.
You always make me think and improve my preps
Mouth wash will work for mosquito repellent, Listerine!
Yep most people don't have their bugout bags on them or in their car, it tends to be in their house which will be inconvenient if you are out the house and an emergency happens like a car breaking down in the snow with little to no battery life left in your phone. Having one of these mini kits in your car or even in a rucksack (if a person cant an advanced full edc) could save them!
Yup That survival kit. She made is small enough so that it would fit into my side pack. Which I carry with me at all Times in the event of an emergency situation.
I have a similar kit I keep in the car incase we get stuck on the highway in a foot of snow. Thanks for your video!
I keep a few pieces of gum and a ring pop in my little edc bag i carry in my purse lol
if i put the survivla lilly on my wrist in an emergancy situacion i will survival lilly??
Hi Lilly, always interesting to see how many items your can squeeze into a a small tin. I have to update my knife, its blade does not lock.
Yes, the whistle, very important, also I was thinking blow the whistle.... and you did. Excellent video of the multiple use essential items. Thanks. 🙂
Good Kit, but seems (at least on the video) that the compasses show different North's 😂
I was thinking the same thing 😂😂😂
The metal box OBVIOUSLY affects the compasses!!
ive used that straw method to store petroleum jelly soaked cotton balls. just light the whole thing with a lighter and guranteed 5 minutes of flame to start your fire. ive also used the straw for salt and pepper. works great!
think about tying a turkshead knot around the can, you could probably get 20ft of paracord or bankline around it.
Skip the gummy bears add olive oil calorie dense
Can you please use these items and do a survival video for us please 🙏
Because one compass might lie to you, but two will not.
Thank you, that is great, myself I will add to the kit a solar charger, and a small gps, also a radio transmitter for sos.... maybe even I will stick on top of the box the small solar panel...
Love u lilly. My mrs and me love your channel. I would have added a minature bottle of tabasco sauce. If i had no hot sauce life would not be worth living lol. Keep the videos coming for us preppers in england x.
Also red pepper/capsicum is good m*dicine
Hey, Lilly! Finally some no-nonsense survival topic again! Thank you!
Thanks as always. I am going to change out a bit of my survival bag. It is bigger though.
I'll suggest gentian violet as a very long acting antiseptic.
Great kit! Maybe need some triple antibiotic.
Great kit and really well thought out. My only suggestion would be to add either some tarred bank line or at least some nano cord. I'm not comfortable with only having the small amount of cordage the bracelet provides.
Lilly’s kit barely fit into the box she had - I’m pretty sure she couldn’t have fit any more in the kit.
Yeah. She did say that was the thing she would have liked more of. Maybe if the fishing twine was wrapped on a smaller spool, she could fit in another bracelet? Also, I love this kit, but maybe removing the tube that the fishhooks are in and just taping them to the bottom of the tin might save a bit more room. I would definitely add the anti diarrheal as this can be so debilitating in a short time.
Your calling is journalism.... You're very good at it.
Great video Lily. However, I want to know if there is a better lighter a person can use? If one's fingers or the lighter head got wet, the lighter you showed us, it won't give a flame. Secondly, if cellphones don't work in a survival situation, is there a satellite phone you would recommend?
You should be aware that the pivot on the older 111mm Victorinox with slide lock is thinner than the pivot on the newer models with liner lock so the old ones are not as strong as the new ones. Olso the liner lock is mush stronger than the slide lock that is a smal and thin piece of metal that i slided in between the blade and the spring.
Yes but the liner lock sucks to close. Also it makes the knife much thicker and heavier. The old knife is good enough for its purpose
Never understand the obsession with fishing kits in these kits.
Doesn't take up much space. It's easy to grasp the usage of. People like to think about food in survival, and fishing kits are some of the only hunting related things you can squeeze into a small kit. The thread and hooks can be used for other things as well.
Depends on where you live. Some people live close to river and lakes.
Great kit Lilly. May try to add an orange bandana.
Wow you have everything in that kit. Love it
Most excellent, Lilly. Proud of you. 🙏
Nice little kit. I would add a few more tampons in lieu of cotton/straw combo and maybe a moleskin and a couple of gauze pads to the med kit and maybe some needles.
I would like to give you some suggestions to improve your kit.
1. Get three more safety pins, for a total of four. They can be used to create anchor points for your space blanket. Or, take three, open the pins, use some wire to create a treble hook.
2. Add the pins and some fishing tackle to the screw top cylinder. There seems to have room. Couple of flies and a jig or micro spin bait.
3. If you insist on carrying the full size tweezers, then pull the pair from the Swiss Army knife. There’s a company that makes a ferro rod to replace it. The same company also sells a compressed tinder that wraps around the corkscrew.
4. Add a couple more tampons. You will thank yourself later if you need them. Can also be used to plug deep punctures.
5. Forgive me if I missed it, but I didn’t see any paper or duct tape.
6. Transfer your fishing line to a smaller spool, or add more to fill the spool. A lot of wasted space.
7. I think that you might be able to cram a cheap plastic poncho in there, rubber band one to the kit. Instant shelter for rain.
Of course, these are just suggestions. Your kit is very well designed. You are very intelligent in your own safety and wellbeing.
I would also recommend that you put a package of burn cream to your first aid kit, as well as some pain relievers.
