Wind in the background ruined the vid for me. Couldn't even get half-way through it. You really don't need to be outdoors to show the contents of a survival kit.
Gear buyer's guide? Yeah, a real professional set up you have there. Review products in an unprofessional manner followed by an unprofessional and immature response to a bit of constructive criticism. I'll be sure to avoid your amateurish vids from now on.
@NGMonocrom I personally enjoy the various changes in the scenery, and really, the wind? I didn't even notice it, till after I read your comment. And it's like no problem at all.
hey gbg!! great vids man i am not sure if you realized it but that "necklace" is actually a hand saw you don't take off the plastic just start sawing and the plastic will peel it self...also don't use as a necklace after the plastic is off def. not condusive to survival wearing a saw as a necklace. keep up the good vids man.
@djzadjza I thought that three mirrors would give more angles of reflection thus giving a wider scope of success in reflecting the light and being seen. But I think your right it must be to scale the kit down. Perhaps it works both ways though.
Nice review and gear. I bookmarked the website and will likely be buying some gear soon. As an old Jarhead I of course have to talk smack about dogfaces (especially Scouts and Rangers). That being said, it pains me to admit that Ranger Rick provides some inexpensive options that someone might actually have on them when they need it. The greatest survival kit does you no good at all if you don’t have it when you need it. Something is always better than nothing. Semper Fi
Good Job Gear Buyer Guide! Excellent move! You did the right thing in removing all those distaseful comments from Sphinxrising58. This is suppose to be an educational page and review about a survival kit, not a place to vent your anger in questioning someone's military experience and expertise. Again, I compliment your actions. Wish there were more Youtube producers like you.
@WILCOX11B id say thats enough to survive for about three days uve got fire options a knife compasses fishing kit etc. i think that if your smart enough you can survive on those items for a while
@WILCOX11B I assume you're an infantryman or use to be an infantryman due to that "11B" on the last part of your user name. Pick up any survival book or go to any online survival website and they will all tell you that the most important minimal survival items you should always carry with you at all times while venturing outdoors are these same survival items you see here in this video. Don't believe me, then do some research and you'll see. PS: You must be Mech and not lite Inf, huh?.
I'd like to get the key chain kit, good for EDC emergency preparedness. I'd definitely order the mirror and higher quality whistle. Given the importance of a good quality knife I'd probably spend the money and get a Spyderco LadyBug3 for this kit. I know the idea is to get the value of the ridge runner knife along with the inexpensive kit but I think it's much better to have a quality knife. I will admit I have no experience with the Ridge runner knives however
#1 Rick is a good guy, making a good product at a fair price
#2 These 8-12 might cost $8-12 at a $1 store, and then would need additional items (worth a few more bucks) and some time to configure them into the items Rick offers
#3 Rick has tested the items he uses already, so you aren't gambling that the $1 store itme you buy is worthwhile or not
All that = a wash or perhaps a better deal with Rick than a $1 store IMO
Nice vid, thanks, appreciated. Lots of good stuff there, and all of it functional I must go look into their Site, being a gadget type things nut! haha. I was especially pleased to hear the Para cord instructions - 1" = 18" as I happen to be wasting cord when I make up the different projects, knowing the 1" = 18" thing may help a little in selecting the length of cord to cut, although the different knots will no doubt affect that equation , it's a start ! 5X5+Fav&Save !!
cool kit and nice overview. I think i would replace that ridge runner knife with a Spyderco ladybug and that led keychain light with a Photon freedom.
Is this the same guy from "Gun Websites"? Sounds the same

just so you know, the mirror is in three parts and undfolds to make a bigger mirror. all you have to do is temporarily take off the dog tag silencer.
