    Disabled veteran. I watch a lot of bushcraft and survival people. I've gotta say yours is the first 10 I've seen. No one else even comes close. You probably get a lot of free gear from all these suppliers. To put this kit together would cost quite a bit but it's still the best I've ever seen. Thank you

    Nice job. Goto your local market, grab one of those grocery bags that roll or fold up into themselves. Attach it to your bag, then when you have to dump your stuff to carry water, you can dump it into the grocery bag. Helps carry a bunch of loose stuff. Also, if you use those small plastic bags to carry extra water, you can throw those into the grocery bag also.

    I really like the basic concept of using a metal water bottle to safeguard your survival items from damage. The only thing I would recommend changing is to keep a full sized fire starter on the outside of the kit on one of the Molly attachment points. Seems all of those zip ties would be rather easy to lose.

    The Mylar blanket idea is one of the best I have seen thus far and this video is 2 years old. I hate the idea of planning to repair kit pieces because they are junk but the reinforcing ahead to save space is pretty damn smart. I've always wondered why people didn't use that open space inside the container. EYEDROPS! I have to use them daily for allergies but never thought about throwing a bottle in my kit. I've noticed you've added tape to anything that can....smart. I learned a lot from this video so thank you for sharing your knowledge.

    I'm really impressed. A more well thought out kit. I have never given a score this high for any survival kit, but an 8 out of 10. Best I've ever seen. I absolutely *hate* waterbottle survival kits, but you have managed to convince me otherwise. What you did right was your shoulder strap system, your redundancy, the fixed blade, the pouch the water bottle came in as a secondary container for the items of your kit. The cup container your bottle nests in. Your room for improvement is more in how your kit is organized. Room for improvement: Your signaling and navigation items should be in the front pocket not down deep in that bottle like you packed them, easily accessible, too many of those vaccuum pressed towels taking up too much space, the "camo low profile mylar blanket" is just a gimmick as mylar is always noisy in even the slightest breeze, so the whole "blend in and be stealthy" doesn't apply. That handcuff key is nearly completely usesless outside a weight for fishing except you don't have fishing hooks. Lastly, morale items are a bit silly. Those are temporary morale boosters with a finite supply, so as soon as those run out, your morale boosters mean nothing. In fact, the whole inclusion of so called morale boosters was invented by people who never actually had to endure true survival situations. I would take any tools that could help me to survive over temporary morale boosters. Procuring water, food, shelter, having signalling devices in hand are way better mirale boosters. I do think your inclusion of caffeine pills is a good call since a lot of people are addicted to caffeineand caffeine does raise awareness, but all those coffee packs take up too much space. If you're making a wilderness survival kit, forget about escape & evasion, the vast majority doesn't need to worry about escape and evasion. If the purpose is survival, all things should be high visibility. Your chances of survival increase 1,000 fold if you can be readily seen, observed, signal, and keep track of your kit since it doesn't blend in to the environment if you drop it. I know you have a lot of fun putting these together, but it would be great to see you actually field test your itens in maybe an over night or 36 hour excursion. Go to a camp site or your back yard and demonstrate your items. Create a scenario with family and/or friends. The one thing no one can take away from you is knowledge/skills. It's really easy to read books or watch videos and think about things, it's another thing to actually know, and knowing comes from experience and practice. Best of luck to you. Thanks.

    • @DontForgetYourLunch35

      @@Ryan0Gray I wish you the best of luck moving forward. I have lived through, practiced, and taught wilderness survival for over 20 years. I'm still learning and I don't claim to know everything. I can tell you a few basics on how to survive. The first and foremost factor in survival is your mindset. You need to make a commitment to yourself that you will survive. 2nd key factor is your knowledge and skill set, those improve over time with experience, but those are things that can't be taken away from you, and you'll never lose them. The final thing is your ability to adapt and improvise (this is impossible to teach, it comes from the individual). Now for gear setup:the best way to survive is to either self rescue or signal, and first aid, the items which help you do that should be at top of your kit. Shelter, water and fire (fire depends where you are at) should be second priority, and food acquistion should be prioritized last, but very important, because even a few days without food will cloud your judgement and make you lethargic. To halep you should organize your kit with overlap in mind. That means something like making fire can also be used for first aid or water (potassium permanganatecan help with fire, sterilizing water, and first aid), or that shelter items can also be used for getting food (fishing line or snare wire will help you make shelter or acquire food), A first aid item can be used in multiple ways (liquid iodine can treat a wound as well as help treat water for drinking). Alcohol wipes for treating a wound can help start a fire, coffee paper filter help in treating water and can help start a fire. These are just a few examples. I will say having dedicated tools or items that can accomplish one task very well are better than things which claim to do multiple tasks, but part of veing adaptive and improvising is learning how to use those same things differently.
      In short when making a kit, anything that helps you self rescue or be rescued should always be at the top and most accessible, followed by shelter/water/fire, and food should be last. Find the overlap between all items.

      @@minecraftpro2074 Good point about a full tang knife, yet the purpose of these kind if kits are something to suplement what you already have and be something you can easily carry. I do think you're more right, and a 7/10 though I'll lean more to 7.5/10 might be a more accurate score just for that point about the knife alone. Still best I've seen so far.

    Brilliant Set Of Kit. This water bottle survival kit gives the user a fighting chance & provides the essentials needed to get going. I have seen many others who want you to carry half a survival shop so you want to drop gear due to the weight. I would add a Bic Lighter with Duct Tape & a small Swiss Army Knife. The last 2 items I would carry in my shirt pockets so they are readily available. We were taught in the army to keep your essentials on your person as in 1 exercise we were suddenly left with only our wits & pocket kit.

With that being said I’d use the two sets of mollle on both sides of the bottle pouch to add two more pouches and try to get a poncho in one and extra space for maybe extra food etc. I may even throw in a external battery to charge my phone and get another flashlight that also uses usb to charge.

    If I may make a suggestion. I also started with Condor and Fox Tactical water bags and found that they were snug around the nesting cup making it difficult to get out of the bag. I wound up turning the nesting cup upside down and placing it on top of the bottle. With that said, I bought a couple of SRO Pathfinder bottle carriers because they are larger therefore have more room inside to easily slide the nesting cup inside and out. So even with a nesting cup and bottle there is still room for some extra stuff inside. The one thing good about the other carriers is they have a bit of insulation in them to keep whatever liquid being contained cool/warm. I'm a fan of those stainless Nalgene bottles also. The cap tether plus the sturdiness make it a great product. Well thought out. Well done.

    Fantastic kit, if I could recommend a few things!
    1. Swiss Champ multi tool is in my opinion the best little multi tool out there, it has the pliers as well.
    2. Two Walmart style plastic bags folded up real small could offer you some extra carrying ability especially when the water bottle is filled up, and can be filled with leaves and other material to create a makeshift pillow which will aid in sleep.
    3. And finally consider adding a life straw to the side of your kit for the best and easiest way to quickly purify water on the go, super easy and trusted worldwide. As well as maybe even one bar of the millennium food bars that give 400 calories and are very compact with a long shelf life with some decent flavors.
    Overall an outstanding compact kit for any situation!

    Really well thought out and loved the little touch of the pocket diamond sharpener. I always feel like most people forget the importance of a sharp blade and how in the field it maybe necessary to touch up the edge. I do have to admit I'm never a fan of stuffing water containers with items because then it's a pain to empty and you have to find a new place to stash those items when you need to utilize your water container.

    Outstanding kit! Very well thought out. If you don't mind a suggestion, add a couple ziplock freezer bags (freezer only because they're thicker and more durable). That way you'll have something sealable to store food if you forage or if you trap an animal and smoke the meat. Fold the bags and put them under the bottle in the bottle bag and you won't be sacrificing any valuable space.

    Not a bad kit. I like your shoulder strap.
    I didn’t see any navigation aids, or a signal mirror (essential, imho). I’m always thinking long term, so a fresnel lens is good and takes up almost no room at all.
    I prefer an SOL Emergency Blanket over the little Mylar sheets. I’ve found the SOL blanket easier to manipulate, especially when it’s really cold.
    I’ve been making “canteen survival kits” for many years now as a hobby. The water bottle pouches make a good base for a kit. I usually add a couple of side pouches for the gear. Bottle can stay empty until time to fill it with water.
    The permanent pouch on the bottle bag contains water purification / filtering items. Side pouches; one contains tools and fire gear, the other has food and shelter.

I think you hit all of the 5Cs which are the most important then some of the second 5 if not all I'll have to go back to count. Overall in my opinion a great compact survival kit. I just may have to copy it tweek mine a bit.

    Thats alot of stuff in such a small kit! 1 thought i had, how about a ammo pouch or small water proof bag that can be folded and stored inside kit for now, but attached to outside of kit if you ever have to use it; for storing/ carrying the items inside the bottle once you fill bottle with water.

    Small correction!
    The watch is not atomic, even though that would be nice. It just synchronizes the time by radio with some atomic clocks, in your case Fort Collins, Colorado on 60kHz, with a range of about 1500 km. If you are not in range, the update does not happen.
    You should keep it outside and in the sun, to keep the internal battery from wearing out. I have a Protrek bought in 2008, I kerp it near a south facing window when I'm not wearing it. The charge is still High, as opposed to a former colleague of mine that bought his in 2012 and kept it in a drawer. His can't charge up to high anymore.

    • @nirfz
      @nirfz 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Before talking about the sync signal i would suggest a different G-shock: the G 2900. Yes it is a little more bulky than the 5610, but it's 10 year battery in mine is currently in it's 15th year. And if you turn off any alarm, and do not push any button, the battery life will be even longer. No light needed at all.
      According to wikipedia the DCF 77 Signal should reach 2000km. I mean i am only a little over 500km from it, but there are the alps inbetween and as long as i'm close to a window or outside, sync is not a problem. (but i don't have a wristwatch that synchronizes, just 2 alarmclocks and use a commercial time providing system at work)
      So it sounds really interesting that you don't get any signal an not even the full end of the range.

      I'm with you, why have a canteen when your not going to use it. And carrying a bottle in your hand is a bit... 1 or 2 external pouches could hold everything and greater organization. Is this a GHB or survival kit? No fish hooks, like they will save you anyway. I have 2 of these canteen kits. The thing I don't like is the D rings. I have an idea on where they should be placed but the strap comes into question.

  • @Badassest
    @Badassest 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    You have molle space to attach a small foraging/dump pouch that can later be attached to a belt since that kit is great for grab and go. If anything i would add fishing hooks- you have line and plenty of cordage. I would maybe include a plastic mesh like what fruits are packaged in, its useful, compressible and can be used abrasively for scrubbing crud buildup inside the water bottle/cup. I would also add a few double snap belt loops for waist carry options and a small covered or taped box cutter to tag along with your neck toolset. I didnt see a can opener (p38) which will reduce wear on your blades most multitool can openers are crap from my experience. Maybe a 2-set of fine screwdrivers phillips and flathead- they are useful. Some rolled up various grit sandpaper is light and can soften sharp edges that will be near rip-prone tarping.

  • @mountainman971
    @mountainman971 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love the kit, just an idea though, if you add a small MOLLE pouch to the side of the bag, you can put the innards of the water bottle into it and use the bottle for water. I used to carry two bottle bags, one for my kit and one for water, then I got the pouch and was able to consolidate to just one kit with water. And on mine, I have one of those lifestraw bottle caps which gives another option for purifying water as well as taking advantage of the space inside the water bottle.

    Very well thought out kit. I have no criticism of the content, but I would include a wire saw. very effective if used properly to source some larger fuel or shelter building materials. One thing I include in my kits is a gusseted quart-sized Ziploc freezer bag to hold the contents of the kit (besides what I's stow in my pockets) when I'm using the bottle for water. also, don't use the super glue for wound care... its not formulated for skin closure and can be toxic. Contour Skin Glue, Medique liquid skin bandage or New Skin is a better bet.
