@czechmate9591@cyclist01222 well if you are in a longer term survival situation you may want to have some fishing gear to try and secure a source of food even very small fish will give you some calories to help you make it through
Looks like alot of well thought out, practical, low cost gear. Sort of an "Any Mans Kit". I mean that as a compliment of course. As if to say, any man could go down to the local Wal-Mart, sporting goods store, etc, etc...and grab the basics for a decent 72 hour kit. Good video buddy.
@cyclist01222 You're welcome Sir. It's always great to meet people with the same interests and ideas about survival and the outdoors. Keep up the great work.
@agentofgoldstein1984 I layed out some mixed gear here, some emergency survival, some not... just pulled some out of my packs. Duplicate items exist in multiple packs depending on the nature of the trip. Some items are never used because they're part of an emergency kit and not for every day use. For example, I have three of the emergency whistles and never used any of them. I always have paracord and a large knife with me... good idea and thanks for sharing!
I agree with most of what you say... Shelter, water, fire... But one of the easiest ways to get food where there is water is catching fish. I live in Alaska and there are so many lakes and streams that not taking advantage of them is insane, setting a trot line takes little energy. A person can live a while with out food, but if you use calories you need to replace them. Many times you hear of what should have been a night in the bush, turns into a week. Take advantage of everything...
@brenterwin99611 Sure, this is true in that type of remote Alaskan situation which I would consider extreme/specialized and maybe the rare snowed in or injury scenario. This vid is geared more towards common day hikers/campers lost on the trail for a night... fishing would not be necessary. Thanks for your thoughts!
This is a VERY good basic video! I think your ideas are exactly right on and the exact line I follow in developing my kits! Re: the earlier comment about the baited hookk to snag a game bird or other prey..the answer might be to carry one of the small spring loaded pocket fishing reels.60-lb test line, and yoiu just set it and forget about it. PM me if you want some pics!
fish hook u can use it also on land...to catch small game put food or a worm on it... and a bird might bite it. eat all hoock cant run away...is also good to have one....this is my opinion
@EnergoTeamSeries Hmmm...baiting game/birds with a fish hook. That just might work! May need to be some type of spring loaded trap to set the hook though. Best use for a fish hook I've heard so far. Thanks for sharing your idea!
when he was talking about how they think they're so cool, i thought, wow what an asshole, but this guy knows what he's talking about. just not about fishing. lol.
nice kit... headlights are great hands free containers are very important as well Im a minimalist some of these people on youtube are funny" want to be's" but you seem to know what your talking about ok cool good vid
@Ztnarf1985 Hey thanks and glad you stopped by. No, I don't know too much but just try to have the right stuff to make it through a chilly night or two. Although where I trek in my old age probably just one night.
Definately a Like here, my friend. even though I don't agree with everything. My priorities are a bit different. Agreed on shelter but the next to me is water. If you have warmth and water you can go a long way.
@myactionhobbies Agreed, I always have some method to clean water. The most common survival situation is a lost day hiker spending a single, chilly night in the woods wishing they had some means to stay warm. Most long term water and food procurring methods are usually never used as they find the way out or are rescued. Extreme conditions are different of course. Some are relying on fishhooks and energy bars but die of exposure because they have no whistle or firestarter. Good discussion!
@cyclist01222 I agree that some survival kits are an overkill but it all depends on what you mean by that. For some people survival kit is a backpack full of staff to start a new civilization in the wildernes. To me what separates a survival kit from the rest of the staff is that it should be on my person all the time. So it must be small enough to be comfortable at all times. In my main bag I can have whatever I consider necessary for that particular trip, but that is adifferent story....
I see your point. I guess I am a bit paranoid and feel like I have to have everything I could possibly need cuz, what if. I have been this way my whole life about most things. I made an altoids kit but I couldn't fit enough in it. Again, great video, keep it up!
Great video! I have to disagree about the need for fishing equipment. You could fit a whole fishing kit inside your orange match case and have the line wrapped around the outside of the case.
Most wooded areas have at least small bodies of water you can get fish from and other living foods.
It would suck to be at a body of water, hungry without fishing items.
@ShoeManShoe68 Thanks for watching and the kind comments. I live in Virginia where the most remote areas are only a short hike from help as are most places in the lower 48. This is true for most situations and the need for food becomes minimal. If I was back in Alaska or engaging in deep remote excursions I may take a net, build a fish trap, use small explosives or even natural plant poisons. Wetting a hook with a few feet of line wouldn't be my first choice for survival. Good discussion!
@ReelyBoredStudios I'm sure you do young man. Keep on practicing and learning... your kits will change as your experience increases and philosophy is formed. Do what works for you and keep searching for and be open to new ideas. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
And by the way nice vid , keep it up . You are the first person that impress me about bicycle touring .After watching you previous vid's i went cycling for 120miles with my heavy gear ( without panniers i used a 40L hiking bag ) man that was really painful experience for me . will be getting some equipment for bicycle touring soon. Thanks for you interest for educating youths like me, im just 16 . thats all for know .
@pravin95raj Thanks for your comments. It would depend on where you are touring. If you're not touring remote areas you may not need any "survival gear" but always some type of first aid kit. The kit I presented here is for remote wilderness areas. While bike riding; water, energy food and sun protection are priority. If you are remote and in a normal climate, a similar wilderness kit should be fine.
@pravin95raj You may be able to gather most items from home, family or friends and spend very little. If you had to purchase everything including small bag and knife, maybe $40 - $50. But I'm guessing you have some items and can acquire more for free. Make a list, start searching and have fun with it! Good luck.
