@fxdrdnme absolutely right. All the knifes and spoons and flashlights in the world won't save you if you don't have the knowledge of your surroundings.
there is one thing the you realy need on your person is a firesteel or somethingelse to make fire, always have thet for emergency fire making. forgive me if my english is not thet good in my text bycose i am dutch
Oh man I disagree with just about everything this guy says. That dinky little skateboard backpack isn't sufficient and will tear under any real use. All those pockets and zippers are unnecessary; they only reduce the amount of usable space for large objects. I'd opt for a small internal frame hiking pack with a single large compartment.
Also, get a real knife. At least 6 or 7" full tang fixed blade knife is vital for any real survival situation. What can you do with a silly little folder knife?
I take it you're unfamilar with the phrase HYOH. It means hike your own hike. And let others do the same. This videos and others like it are only suggestions. Take them as such.
A water bottle, flishlight, and a knife.UHa! What is the number 1 killer in a survival situtation? If you said exposure you're right. So where is the mention of a fire starter (that will work in any condition)and that little knife is useless for fire making(you need at least a 5or6 inch blade with a full tang. Dude I don't mean to sound like i'm being cruel to you but there are a lot watching and are being misled into thinking that your videos will keep them alive if they do what you say.Sorry!
Just found you. Terrific vids!! But you need to code them, so the new viewer, like me, can watch them in order or the sequence they were made. Keep up the good work!!
Flash light for the nite to minimise fright, right? I´d trade it for the magnesium flint fire starter, or at least i´d carry it on me instead of the flashlight. It can go in the backpack, as you said the items you use most should go in your pocket .And that little knife, although it´s sharp, wont be able to do no spliting. How about a kabar marine knife or even a pilot survival one or a S.O.G., any thing that can do splitting and batoning? Any way I like your vds. Keep up with the good job.
look at the size of that tarp. why not take a poncho that will dbl up as a jacket and a shelter. i've been looking at all this guys vids and he has alot of oversized stuff!
Minor criticism: a fixed blade knife, even a small one like a RAT 3, is a lot stronger and more capable at survival tasks (especially firewood processing).
what's that supposed to mean? i was just pointing out the advantages of a fixed blade in the wilderness. I'm not sayin take a Busse or a RTAK II in your survival kit.
why are you so defensive? im a fan of nutnfancy as well as fixed blade knives whats to be ashamed about that? Maybe you mistook the tone of the comment or something read it again- it wasnt meant in a negative tone whatsoever.
He forgote one important thing: A lighter...of course thats what his compartment on his backpack is for but cmon man carry a bic or zippo lighter as well.
One last thing.... It's more efficient to carry as much of your load on your hips if you can. Infantry style load bearing harness work great for this and are pretty comfortable. Most come with what are called butt backs that are large enough to hold whatever you need for basic survival. If you get lost or stranded, I'd ditch all my nonessential gear and the ruck sack and just go with my load bearing harness. Cammel backs are good but don't rely on them. You don't take in enough water with them.
one thing for people to consider would be to check out a quality light hiking pack, like arcteryx, gregory, etc. since military gear that i have used (when i was in the military) was heavier and less comfortable. Military stuff is more durable, but if you don't intend to crawl through barbwire and trenches it is sometimes a bit porcine. If people don't believe me look at what organizations like NOLS use etc.
One thing that almost nobody ever thinks of is salt. I'd advise you to carry a little box cannister of cheap morton sea salt. Salt has about 1001 differnt survival uses. Everything from treating wounds and preserving food, to preventing frost bite and dehydration. A pound of salt can save your life. I know it might sound silly, but I'm dead serious. Salt can replace a lot different items that otherwise might take up space. Only sea salt though. Iodized salt is useless.
Pretty good kit. Just a tip though, I was a Marine Scout Sniper and a Marine Survival and Evasion instructor for 6 years(so you know I'm not just speaking out my ass). In survival situations where you are isolated, injured or have to traverse distances greater than 10-15 miles, you don't want to carry more than 5-8% of your body weight and that's only if you're in reasonably fit. Carrying 15% or more radically reduces your chances of survival. Calorie consumption becomes too high to sustain.
do you know the exact name of the backpack? i couldn't find one that matched the one you have, because i want a lot of pockets.
