Folded up a taped razor blade and a wenger credit card tool all in my wallet. I want to add a few water purification tabs later. Oh and also 3 bandaids and 2 alcohol prep pads. It all fits relatively comfortably and can't even tell I have all that with me as edc . The twine already came in handy
I keep duct tape wrapped around a old shoppers card about 6 or 7 ft. About 25 to 30 ft of 110 lb test tarred fishing twine and probably 50 ft of each 6 and 10 lb mono again wrapped around cards. On the card with the mono I have 3 split shot and 2 sz 8 hooks along with 3 safety pins. I have about 3 ft of steel wire coiled up in a pocket probably 8 cut down matches and a striker in a small Ziploc bag duct taped. A small nub of a pencil about 3 ft of heavy duty tin foil. And a medium size Ziploc
Good video, especially for a first upload. I really have nothing bad to say. It seems well thought out, so I'll just add my $0.02. 1)Credit card sized fresnel lens cut down to fit in the pouch. 2)A small diameter ferrocerium rod in the 2 to 3" range. 3) A small whistle 4) Magnetize your needle if it isn't magnetic already 5) Tie one of those hooks onto your fishline.Your kit's already pretty good so I don't that much to suggest.
I like that everything in you pouch has a purpose and isnt simply, mindless clutter. I would recommend a mini LED light and a small ferro rod. If you get caught in a downpour and your matches get wet, no fire. If its cloudy, your mag lens wont do you any good. But a ferro rod or a magnesium bar w/ flint could do you well. You could even use the back of your hacksaw blade as a striker.
Of coarse u can open a can without any tools. Rub the bottom of a can in a circular motion on any large rock or concrete step. Cody Lundin demonstrates with a tuna can on 1 of his utube video's
My thought is that a lot of that stuff is irrelevant. Some of it "might" come in handy but I find it hard to believe. In a disaster you'll probably focus on trying to make it to some form of shelter. That might mean driving to someone else's house or making it to some nearby town. I bet you'd never use most of that stuff. The only things that "might" come in handy are a tiny led flashlight, and a mini bic lighter, and a pocket knife. That would cover most minor survival situations in my mind.
@aceshigh8881 For wilderness survival, (which this is primarily for) these items are more important. Yes, in a urban situation these things won't matter as much.
Great idea, good video. I'm getting out the duct tape in a minute here to start one myself. I do agree on a small BSA flint or something similar, but overall I like your thought process. Very nice.
dont listen to the people who pick at minor details. theres no perfect or right or wrong survival gear. you seem to haveput together a very nice kit that takes up mimimal space and can easily be kept with you. you are pepared for urban as well as bush. in the end nature and circumstance dictates how we survive and what we use. i can vision a thousand uses for the safety pins, or even paper clips. good job on the vid
Gotta give this video a thumbs up. Nice EDC kit. Though some comments may disagree, there's nothing in this kit that couldn't be put to practical use.
this is a really good video and a really good kit :) for something as compact as that its very good. i would suggest adding a firesteel and maybe add one of those candles that relight for really extreme weathers :)
Great kit! Ive been thinking about an escape and evasion kit to sew in the toungue of a shoe so if someone tries to put someone in the psyche ward they will have an escape and evasion kit in the toungue of the shoe because they make you take out your shoe laces
Great video, dont even post replies to those negative comments. They obviously dont know what their talking about. Your right in what you said in the video, its just a step towards helping you when u need it and when improvising have a million uses. The wallet is not supposed to be material to survive indefinitely. Also i just want to add i love that its made up of inexpensive material. Sharing information is one of the most impotant things we can do.
Good video man. For all of you out there knocking the guy about his kit, why don't you go make your own and post it up. Whatever he puts in his kit, is his preferences and everyone has their own, what works for him may not work for you, thats why everyone is different so before any of you knock him on it, go make ur own. BTW fishing hooks are always a great idea and they dont take up any room! You would only spend energy making fish traps if u had no hooks.
You should take half of your thread out, like the uncommon colors you shouldn't need such as yellow or maroon. This may not be alot of space, but it could hold a peice of gum (for energy) or something. Maybe add 50 cents to a dollar for emergency phone call. Well, nice video maybe I helped you a little bit.
Oops,I heard you say fishhook. Fishing gear belongs in an extended stay kit or on a planned fishing trip. I know we all think about crash landing in a remote part of the world and needing to eat something after a few weeks so we better have a fish hook just in case we are near a great fishing lake and the fish are biting... not likely. PLEASE Help Me Spread The Message... NO FISH HOOKS! The life you save may be your own... learn to make a fish trap. Okay, I've done my part. Good luck! Nice job.
@cyclist01222 When I add the fishing hooks, it's on recommendation of Doug Ritter from Equipped to Survive. Boredom is a problem during survival, waiting for rescuers to show up. It can take a toll on your sanity. Fishing at a nearby lake is a good way to keep boredom at bay. You may catch something, you may not. It takes up so little room, why not? It certainly isn't life threating to add hooks in you kit, like you imply. You can also use the hooks to catch birds. Thanks for your comment!
@ComradeGeneralK Yeah, good stuff and good points. Birds are fair game also and the forgotten survival food. I wonder if one could catch a bird in a trap? Haha. I have not been in an extreme remote area since I lived in Alaska. Now, in the VA Blue Ridge, rescue is usually just a few short miles away as with most wilderness trekers. Done lots of subzero survival also but managed to avoid the desert. Used many tools during my adventures but never fished while seeking rescue or escape.
@cyclist01222 You seem like a well of knowledge! I'm more of an apprentice, I am always willing to hear those with experience. I live in VA too, I want to have a camping trip with some friends soon to just have fun and practice our bush skills. We were planning to go to Shenandoah National Park.
@ComradeGeneralK Not really. I have experienced the strange feeling of loosing my direction several times and always without a compass. One hot day while on a summer hunt exploration, thirst scared me but I soon caught up to my buddies . It always happens when you think it won't. Thirst and slight fear kept me moving... no fishing came to mind. Try St. Mary's Wilderness about 24 miles down the Parkway from I-64. Remote, free, fire pits, and plenty of trails to xplore. My son and I had a blast!
@cyclist01222 i see fishing in 3 different ways out in nature, whiile waiting for rescue it passes time, keeps the mind occupied, provides food. now i havent been in a total survival situation perse but done 2 week trips using nothing but my knowledge. i agree with you on the fact that if your looking to find rescue or civilisation in life or death situations fishing wont go through your mind untill your hungry
@flarebill Nothing, just not a very important or much used survival item. Easy to carry, yes, but fish hooks in a tiny kit won't help you much. Check out the vid "The 10 Piece Emergency Kit". Dave explains what are important items to have in a real survival situation and how to ue them better than I can. Emphasis is usually on shelter and rescue. Check it out and see what you think.
@cyclist01222 fish hooks have a million and one uses, a few hooks and some line can come in handy for a number of tasks. you are thinking too narrow if you think things in your survival kit only have one or two uses
@ihatesquirrel13 I always carry fishing line... yes, many uses for that. It can definitely come in handy when building a shelter or repairing clothing. What else besides fishing would you use fish hooks for in a survival situation?
@cyclist01222 if you are using any type of trap to try and catch an animal, you know the stick and stone slab or stick and box etc. your trip stick can be tied to the fishing wire and the bait attached to the hook. if the animal just moves the bait it pulls the rock down onto it. you can use it to create support lines. let the hooks bite into two trees and run a line. help in shelter building or a line to dry clothes..saves a couple feet of line. hang meat for cooking used with metal wire...
@ihatesquirrel13 This is interesting and becoming a fun discussion. I would suggest that fish hooks are not needed for any of these tasks nor would the absence of said hooks prevent one from successfuly performing these tasks if needed for survival. Presenting trap bait, rigging support lines to dry clothes and hanging meat can all be done without fish hooks. Again, shelter and rescue should be priority survival kit items. Hooks just aren't that helpful or needed as emergency survival gear.
@cyclist01222 you can striaghten a couple and attach to a long stick, now you have a gig..frogs, mice, rats etc. can be caught. you can use it as a distance weapon to discourage a wild dog or maybe something else, going for the nose eyes area.trying to keep it away from you..if its close enough for you to knife it, its close enough to bite or scratch you. striaghten and cut off the barb and you have sewing needles
@ihatesquirrel13 You can gig frogs with a sharpened, pronged stick alone. Fish hooks for defense, really?... I carry a sturdy fixed blade knife. Now, a sewing needle is an excellent tool so I carry one of those... not a fish hook. I do bow to your ingenuity though. This is fun.
@cyclist01222 have you ever tried to gig a frog or anything with a striaght point sharpened stick ? unless you get an instant kill they often fling themselves off, which is why a gig you buy in the store comes barbed. try poking a moving animal threatining you with the point of a stick as well, it doesnt deliver much damage unless you get a luck hit. the points on the hooks need only to barely catch the animal to stick and the barbs do alot of damage across a nose or near the eyes.
@cyclist01222 how many knives do you usually carry at once ? the hooks allow you to make a weapon that you do not have to dedicate a knife to. carrying hooks may not be for everyone, no one says you have to. but there certainly are uses for them. i live near a large lake and river so most of our outdoor life is around water so aside from the other uses, the normal ones would apply. theres no right or wrong,the important thing is to be prepared in some way
@ihatesquirrel13 I'm not quite sure I understand all these points my friend but I'm convinced you could survive with fish hooks alone! Thanks for the banter.
@cyclist01222 trout is better than catfish, trout won't be fool by a trap coz they stay in cold deep water, not the warm water from the edge of a lake or river. and catfish taste like po op

Can't open a can with out a can opener? I beg to differ. And the needle, dude have you ever tried to push one of those through leather? It sucks. That's just not practical. A leather needle would be much more useful since you can use it for more than leather. Other ideas are are fair to ok. I just wonder if you carry a knife on you at all times.
@GothPuppyGirl There are a few ways to open a can opener without a can opener. There is using a knife (which will dull and damage your blade), and rubbing the can on concrete (not a lot of concrete in the bush). I'm not willing to dull the point of my knife, so a can opener isn't a bad idea. I'm sure a leather needle would be better, but I don't have one. I also don't wear any leather clothing, so it isn't absolutely necessary. And yes, I do. A Cold Steel SRK for the wild and a Voyager for EDC.
@ComradeGeneralK My much older brother is the one with the leather. He wears em till they fall apart, I make stuff. I made a quiver for my arrows out of the sleeve of an old trench coat and I still have nearly an entire coat left. I used a straight needle on it and my fingers hurt like hell when I was done.
Just an idea, something I like to carry in a kit instead of wire for a snare is the stainless steal 18 inch black coated fishing leader. They already have ends on them for fishing but also make great snares without having to try and put knots in wire.
you should keep the matches in a small plastic bag since if water gets in through the duct tape and the wallet it wont work unless there waterproof? but it wuld still b hard 2 use.
Nice job well presented, very creative and you're so point about having something useful with you all the time and using the items regularly is very essential. For a first Youtube review presentation it's very good.
@nitroflesh You're not to smart. I allways carry a safty pin in my wallet and the other day I was walking down the river bank looked under some rocks that were up the hill a little way and found a worm bent the safty pin into a hook,pulled some string out of my sock and caught 3 fish right off the bank. i allways carry a lighter or matches so i started a little fire,used the P38 that i allways carry to gut the fish and had a nice meal So SHUT THE FUCK UP! Sometimes You have to improvise!!
@nitroflesh Ah, is that sarcasm? I haven't tasted that in awhile. How about you explain your reason behind mocking me instead of being just another troll?
@nitroflesh The reason of the sarcasm was for your own good. I mean if this video was ment to be funny ok my fault, but you are dead serious with that wallet. Common with that wallet you wouldn't survive a day.I mean you could as well be without it. With that wallet you can only survive another day at the office nothing more. So that was the reason.
@nitroflesh What is wrong with my wallet kit? Your also judging my survival skills with no knowledge of me. Explain why I wouldn't survive with this kit. Don't just say my kit sucks without backing it up. Do you have any videos on survival kits, showing everyone what you say is better? No. And ANYONE who knows ANYTHING about survival preparedness knows that something is better than nothing.
you can sharpen one end of the hacksaw blade , wrap a duct-tape mini handle on it and make a duct tape sheath for it and you'll have a secondary mini blade. but you'll have to keep a decent sized handle on it to get useful leverage.
@thesurvivalist98 Yes, it would be hard. A Spark-lite or Mini-mag would be much better. But instead of just pointing out the flaw, could you also add how to fix it? Then it would be a constructive, and not useless, comment.
advice, cut the cotton off of q-tips. heat the end with a lighter and press the hole together. put the needle in it., heat the other end and seal it. So, you'll have a sterile, clean needle and a safe way of carrying it.
this is possibly the best setup I have found so far for urban situations. A lot of the items would have come in handy when we lost power in New York City in 2003. The trains stopped, the buses rapidly shut down as drivers on shift finished up and a new shift was not started. This is always a consideraton, the loss of power and mass transportation in an urban environment.
@Artyint123 Wow, that must have been a shocking experience. I can't imagine how that would be like. I live in suburbia, Virginia, so mass transportation isn't a factor. I'm more worried about severe weather that would shut down power.
@dager925 you can buy p 38 can openers at most army navy stores. coogland sells a slightly larger version... i know cooglands sells that because i saw it at cabellas the otherday
@madchipmunk99 Did you hear me say in the wild? No. Since this is a EDC item, you find canned food everywhere in a a urban environment. Plus it is just a useful tool for all manner of things.
@madchipmunk99 , plus a can opener, (try the "fred" aka F@#king Rediculos Eating Tool, Australian version) can also be useful as tin snips and a useful cutting tool.
Instead of matches & candle I carry a small firesteel and thin sheet of wax-soaked cotton. Lay the water bag in the sun - UV will purify the water. If there is no sun, then use the tablets. I keep two small lead sinkers for the hooks and pins. You can cook and even boil water in a piece of aluminum foil near the fire.

I keep a good amount of duct tape rolled over a "credit" card in my wallet as well (being that paracord can't be carried too easily in a wallet....though 40 feet of paracord and 60 feet of hemp string are on my person at all time, If I ever get my camera running again I'll show you how I do that)
you ought to look into a small knife.....i have a marathon one,you can get them at gas stations they have a razor blade sharp enough to cut about anything, it also has a bottle opener/ screwdriver and a file with a finger nail cleaner thingy
@yodaboy170 Haha, I got it along time ago. replaced it with a Maxpedition Micro Wallet. It's a leather trifold my parents got at Wal-Mart, I believe. Nothing fancy, or expensive. It's really worn out from all these years, but no real damage.
First of all, great idea in the wallet. Whats better is that you make it work, which is good.
Secondly; JJR was not the first person to make a survival tin/kit. It is used by the SAS (UK spec forces). I'm not having a go or anything, just though you would like to know.
NOTE: having just watched some more videos by JJR, i retract my comment about it his being his idea. It was his idea to put in the wallet. i apoligise i was mis informed and should have made that comment.
@GRINDKINGBOARDS Stolen? Please explain rather than saying a short sentence. I learned from him, and credited him for the idea. This was my take on it. It doesn't even matter in the world of survival, aslong as it helps someone.
i use the rick birthday candles if the wind blows it out it will re light, great for wet tinder or very windy conditions. i also use spyderwire fishing line it is great for sewing, snares fishing ect and comes in 90lb test. great vid i would also ad a bsa ferro rod very small but they work and under 3$
@wulfesinger67 Spyderwire sounds like good stuff, is it nylon or some type of monofilamint? Is it very expensive? Ferro rods are awesome, all my survival kits have them now. I like the Mini-Mag firestarters.
@wulfesinger67 I find with the monofilamint, when you roll it up small, it retains it's shape and makes it hard to fish with. Spyderwire seems alot better, i'll get some.
@jackman614 I think sewing equipment is very important. Clothing is your first defense against the elements. If it gets in disrepair from survival chores, your protection against the wind, sun and insects isn't good. A rip may not prevent you from being rescued, but it certainly would help to get that sewed up. A neddle and thread don't take up much space. Maybe you can camp without a shirt, but i'll keep mine on. It's a nice Columbia shirt.

@ihatesquirrel13 This is interesting and becoming a fun discussion. I would suggest that fish hooks are not needed for any of these tasks nor would the absence of said hooks prevent one from successfuly performing these tasks if needed for survival. Presenting trap bait, rigging support lines to dry clothes and hanging meat can all be done without fish hooks. Again, shelter and rescue should be priority survival kit items. Hooks just aren't that helpful or needed as emergency survival gear.

@cyclist01222 you can striaghten a couple and attach to a long stick, now you have a gig..frogs, mice, rats etc. can be caught. you can use it as a distance weapon to discourage a wild dog or maybe something else, going for the nose eyes area.trying to keep it away from you..if its close enough for you to knife it, its close enough to bite or scratch you. striaghten and cut off the barb and you have sewing needles
ihatesquirrel13 8 months ago
@ihatesquirrel13 You can gig frogs with a sharpened, pronged stick alone. Fish hooks for defense, really?... I carry a sturdy fixed blade knife. Now, a sewing needle is an excellent tool so I carry one of those... not a fish hook. I do bow to your ingenuity though. This is fun.
cyclist01222 8 months ago
@cyclist01222 have you ever tried to gig a frog or anything with a striaght point sharpened stick ? unless you get an instant kill they often fling themselves off, which is why a gig you buy in the store comes barbed. try poking a moving animal threatining you with the point of a stick as well, it doesnt deliver much damage unless you get a luck hit. the points on the hooks need only to barely catch the animal to stick and the barbs do alot of damage across a nose or near the eyes.
ihatesquirrel13 8 months ago
@cyclist01222 how many knives do you usually carry at once ? the hooks allow you to make a weapon that you do not have to dedicate a knife to. carrying hooks may not be for everyone, no one says you have to. but there certainly are uses for them. i live near a large lake and river so most of our outdoor life is around water so aside from the other uses, the normal ones would apply. theres no right or wrong,the important thing is to be prepared in some way
ihatesquirrel13 8 months ago
@ihatesquirrel13 I'm not quite sure I understand all these points my friend but I'm convinced you could survive with fish hooks alone! Thanks for the banter.

@cyclist01222 trout is better than catfish, trout won't be fool by a trap coz they stay in cold deep water, not the warm water from the edge of a lake or river. and catfish taste like po op

Can't open a can with out a can opener? I beg to differ. And the needle, dude have you ever tried to push one of those through leather? It sucks. That's just not practical. A leather needle would be much more useful since you can use it for more than leather. Other ideas are are fair to ok. I just wonder if you carry a knife on you at all times.
GothPuppyGirl 1 year ago
@GothPuppyGirl There are a few ways to open a can opener without a can opener. There is using a knife (which will dull and damage your blade), and rubbing the can on concrete (not a lot of concrete in the bush). I'm not willing to dull the point of my knife, so a can opener isn't a bad idea. I'm sure a leather needle would be better, but I don't have one. I also don't wear any leather clothing, so it isn't absolutely necessary. And yes, I do. A Cold Steel SRK for the wild and a Voyager for EDC.
ComradeGeneralK 1 year ago 4
@ComradeGeneralK My much older brother is the one with the leather. He wears em till they fall apart, I make stuff. I made a quiver for my arrows out of the sleeve of an old trench coat and I still have nearly an entire coat left. I used a straight needle on it and my fingers hurt like hell when I was done.

Just an idea, something I like to carry in a kit instead of wire for a snare is the stainless steal 18 inch black coated fishing leader. They already have ends on them for fishing but also make great snares without having to try and put knots in wire.

@nitroflesh The reason of the sarcasm was for your own good. I mean if this video was ment to be funny ok my fault, but you are dead serious with that wallet. Common with that wallet you wouldn't survive a day.I mean you could as well be without it. With that wallet you can only survive another day at the office nothing more. So that was the reason.

@nitroflesh What is wrong with my wallet kit? Your also judging my survival skills with no knowledge of me. Explain why I wouldn't survive with this kit.

No. And ANYONE who knows ANYTHING about survival preparedness knows that something is better than nothing.

you can sharpen one end of the hacksaw blade , wrap a duct-tape mini handle on it and make a duct tape sheath for it and you'll have a secondary mini blade. but you'll have to keep a decent sized handle on it to get useful leverage.

advice, cut the cotton off of q-tips. heat the end with a lighter and press the hole together. put the needle in it., heat the other end and seal it. So, you'll have a sterile, clean needle and a safe way of carrying it.

this is possibly the best setup I have found so far for urban situations. A lot of the items would have come in handy when we lost power in New York City in 2003. The trains stopped, the buses rapidly shut down as drivers on shift finished up and a new shift was not started. This is always a consideraton, the loss of power and mass transportation in an urban environment.
Artyint123 1 year ago
@Artyint123 Wow, that must have been a shocking experience. I can't imagine how that would be like. I live in suburbia, Virginia, so mass transportation isn't a factor. I'm more worried about severe weather that would shut down power.

Instead of matches & candle I carry a small firesteel and thin sheet of wax-soaked cotton. Lay the water bag in the sun - UV will purify the water. If there is no sun, then use the tablets. I keep two small lead sinkers for the hooks and pins. You can cook and even boil water in a piece of aluminum foil near the fire.

jackman614 1 year ago
@jackman614 I think sewing equipment is very important. Clothing is your first defense against the elements. If it gets in disrepair from survival chores, your protection against the wind, sun and insects isn't good. A rip may not prevent you from being rescued, but it certainly would help to get that sewed up. A neddle and thread don't take up much space. Maybe you can camp without a shirt, but i'll keep mine on. It's a nice Columbia shirt.
