Another great thing about the lighter is, if you can't flick the last flame, you can hold down the gas tab, and spray the fluid and / or fumes onto a tissue and set a spark to it, you need to take the metal cap off and the wheel underneath the flame adjuster but works great. much more versatile then a bic!
One tip...At any Home Depot you can buy a collapsable varmit trap. These traps can handle a grown racoon or possum...good eats. They fold up flat and I strap mine to my alice-pack frame...very lite (2lbs.). Set it at bed, and you will have breakfast 90% of the time. They work awesome!! To kill the mighty beast...take it down to the water supply,- deeper than the cage of course, and let teh little fucker have a swim. Count to 4minutes and season to taste! Or you have portable fresh meat! G-Luck!
i dont know if any one else has this problem but in paracord crafting stuff i have found cheapy lighters cant run for long, i have had the flame gaurd get so hot that the entire ignition mechanizm flies off. for this reason i would suggest fighting with the bic. idk personal preferance
hi you a great survival kit maker ever thought of trying to make you own business out of these survival kits but there are a few questions i would like to ask 1. do you know the name of that camp spoon as that is very compact aswell as efficient? 2. what did you say the name of that razor blade is as most razor blades that people put in there survival kits are the ones without handles?
the wtaer purification tablets are obsolete.the military doesnt use them anymore. you would be better off with a few filters of a water catch bag and a tin cup to boil in. iodine tablets can cause major health problems. ditch the tape its dead weight. it wont do you anygood as soon as it gets wet. some bungee cords would be a great idea a couple of survival knives ditch the razor blades they are to dangerous to fool with. ill make a vid of mine so we can compare
Most of teh stuff you have is useless and your missing some really important things. such as 25 feet of good rope, tent stakes i prefer the metal ones that come with pup tents, a small single man hammock, you could lose all the fighter starter stuff for just a couple magnesium starter kits, you realy need to include some basic first aid wont survuve long with an infection. You could also do for a much ebtter compass you cant travel with those. you also need to include a map of teh local area.
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.
Not saying this to be mean, but shelter is actually number one in importance. You can go 3 weeks without food, and 3 days without water, but extreme exposure to cold or sun can lay you to waste in 3 hours. That is how I built my kit. 1. Shelter and fire 2. Water 3. First aid and last 4. Food.
But all you need as a cheap tarp and you are good to go. And a tarp and basic first aid are small so can fit in this kit.
Upgrade your maglight to an LED my recommendation if you want to stay at penlight size is a Preon 2.
If your willing to go up another size *still a easy enough clip carry and use the C123A AKA surefire batteries then the TA 21 is worlds apart in performance from a maglight.

insteaD of using the krct m16 knife u should look for the gerber evo......looks just the same, very dependable and has an msrp opf just about 10-20 dollars(depends on what state u live in)
You should watch my 3 part video series on the 5 C's of survival...a new way of thinking about the basic survival needs broken down into some very simple concepts.
I've never seen anyone mention bait for the fishing kits. A small can of salmon eggs is perfect. The containers are no bigger than a jar of lip balm and the eggs are suspended in a solution that extends shelf life for months. What good is a fishing kit (or any hunting kit for that matter) without bait? I know that in theory there are worms, bugs, etc all around but even under the best conditions, catching fish is not always easy. The salmon eggs would increase chances of success by at least 50%
I would like to make a suggestion about your fishing kit, I know the knife your talking about because I had one keyword "had" because I got a Ka-Bar anyway the line thye use in those kits has a shelf life and its not a long one so put some better string in there or else your gonna be real disappointed when you get osmehting on your line.
A Tampon would go great in your fire section, so you have tinder. All those ways to light fire, with no way of starting it right, could be useless. Wet weather etc..
@bennyboyshaw Agreed back when I made that kit some 3 odd years ago that didn't ever cross my mind. All my kits now have Tinder Quick firestarters amongst others.
@superheroideal Char cloth is propably the best thing to have with your strikers, Also, Being a smoker myself, I have to question your choice of lighter...I break those things all the time Bic is much strudier.
@superheroideal a better idea told by an experienced camper: dryer lint. Makes perfect sense since the lint is so dry that it's highly flammable. He sometimes dips his in cooking grease and stores it in a watertight plastic cylinder. And the best part: it's free.
if i was you i would change out the fishing line monofiliment can break down over time . i added the 90lb. spyder wire braided line it great multi use stuff you can even sew with it or make snares.
nice vid sum good stuff u got there but u use a zippo coz they dond break very easily nd u can carry spare petrol in a small bottle and they last for ages.
You know? there are KIT already made and sold everywhere by company such as Adventure Medical, etc. Then, you can modify them by adding few things and DONE. Its MUCH faster and cheaper than trying to think and put them all together. Besides, I do not think we need to really follow now getting popular TREND going on in the USA. Its fun tho,.... but I feel that is about it.
@urkingod Oh I do know, but those companys don't know me is the problem. No commerical company knows your strengths or weakenesses. Making a custom kit will cost more and take more time. But it has more ability and fits YOUR needs, not the needs of what a company thinks you need. I do actually have the Doug Ritter Pocket Survival Kit, but I sorted it into other kits. I have been making kits for 17 YEARS now. I know what works for me because of that, NOT because a company TELLS me it will.
@superheroideal But they are professional. They know what we need. We are not professional. But of course we can modify what they provide after we purchase from them, I think its much faster and cheaper that way. I know if you prepared it yourself, you can spend a lot of time and money, why bother? Well, that is how I felt when I saw many kit that were available already out there.
@FrankJL7781 I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER A YEAR FOR SOMEONE TO ASK ABOUT THAT. No, its actually dried mud that formed in the tread of my boot I knocked out a few days befor. My dog crapped in the bathroom when I was filming a different vid and noticed after I posted this one how much the two "mounds" looked alike. Didn't think anyone would really notice. Good eye though lol.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LOL nail clippers.. your a genious! iv watch loads of survival kit's video's and none of them have nail clippers or that spoon/ bottle opener /can opener.. but you are missing some key iteams... 4/5
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Fuck ur self you stupid kid.. dont tell em to shut up you vergin... fucking loser get a life all i said was he is missing some key iteams everything eles i liked about the video fucking retarded stupid cunt
@15MrBlue lol yes, nail clippers or small scissors is a must. I don't know why others omit this. I disagree tho, he has way to much stuff. The only thing i would replace is a real cooking pot instead of the foil and a fix blade knife. Stashing stuff inside the pot make up for the extra space versus aluminum foil. ★★★★☆
@Airrifle2 It was about the size of 3 decks of cards stacked. Not too small but fit in a cargo pocket very easily or attatched to a belt and not too bulky. You can see the pouch I used for it in the 2nd part of this vid at the end.
@97sniper Read the video description. I do carry a "survival" blanket but not those horribly shitty ones Wal Mart carries. If thats all you can afford then by all means go ahead and use that, but for about 6 bucks you can get a Adventure Medical Kits Heat Sheets blanket made from good polycarbonate vs mylar which is piss poor by comparison. The reason the AMK blanket is not in the video is because it was too bulky to fit the bag so I just carry aside.
@treehouseman2 I got this at Wal Mart about a year ago. Its the CRKT M16 10kZ. I don't know if Wal Mart carries it anymore you could probably find them online. I have seen similar knives at REI but not at the same price. The one I have was about $20 if I remember right. The ones I seen at REI are about $40 (I think) but they have larger blades. Hope I helped any other questions please ask.
i brought a survival kit with a magnifying lens to boy scout summer camp one year, and almost 3 times a day i had a tick where i could'nt tell if the head was on.
Very bad in my case. It was missing some internal components and didn't include the battery. I don't know if all Coghlans led/whistle combos are that bad, but the one I purchased was poor on the LED light. Everything else about it worked well though.
You may want to add a good fire piston and a sealed bag of charred cloth.I also keep some spare cotton cloth and a small tin for making more charred cloth if needed.even if you don't get a piston the cloth will easily take a spark from a flintsteel and hold an ember really well.
my advice: take out that tanto style blade and put in a plain edge clip point. clip points have much more use for camping/survival tasks (cant skin something very well with a tanto!) and the clip point will still pierce very well. also plain edges are easier to sharpen than partial serrated. especially if you lose that nifty little sharpener.
well simonwessel, i wouldnt trust a bic lighter for long term either, and I wouldnt wanna wait on rubbing sticks together if it was cold and windy, or match sticks that can get wet or break...nothing is really long term except maybe flint, but good luck clicking that together for an hr, lol, kinda like stick rubbing... i would like quick fire and something noncombustible to carry around..batteries are not long term but for short term, the battery and steel wool is fast and easy.
I agree. Bic lighters/matches/battery + steel wool are all nice to have to get a fire going quickly, but are only good for so long. For long term fire making I prefer a firesteel since they're easy to use. I usually have ca 10 fires worth of tinder with me and in that time I'd be able to collect new tinder and make sure it's dry. I consider a firesteel long term fire source, since I'd probably die from starvation before that one runs out :) I always carry a bic lighter as emergency fire.
Thanks man. The wire saw truely not the greatest piece of gear but works for the most part especially in a kit this size. Since I made this kit I have taken it apart and reworked it. The Gerber saw probably would be too big for a kit this size.
Well seeing as how you did'nt read the description I'd say your pretty young and apparently ignorant ... how old are you kid about 9 or 10??? I carry other gear with me as stated in the description. I even stated that in the first 35 secs. Shelter huh, I guess you've never heard of a debris hut or lean to have you? Aswell the gear carried in there would help in the building of said shelter. Oh well kids like you really don't know about such though. I swear, dumb YANKEE bitch fags like you!!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i am 25 USMC special forces i know more about survival than any dumb ass internet bad ass will ever dream of knowing. Don't you ever call me a yankee you fucking fag
USMC special forces ... yeah whatever little kid, if you can't even realize that I address shelter and first aid when I say it in the video and the comment box then I'm sure you could not even make it in the border partol let alone the marines. I told you this in the prior comment and your not even man enough to admit that you were wrong. Yankee jackass, see I called you it again theres nothing you can do about it you little 11 year YANKEE son of a bitch. ..
Yep screwed that one up big time, was kinda tired when I made and krct just rolls off the tounge as oppose to crkt IMO. Still I fucked up, thanks for pointing it out lol.
reserved, reserved, reserved, reserved, reserved... lol. You honestly brought this to my attention I really didn't know it did this. I guess because there's alot of backup ie reserved gear in the kit. I'll try to cut back on it thought.... RESERVED!

@15MrBlue lol yes, nail clippers or small scissors is a must. I don't know why others omit this. I disagree tho, he has way to much stuff. The only thing i would replace is a real cooking pot instead of the foil and a fix blade knife. Stashing stuff inside the pot make up for the extra space versus aluminum foil. ★★★★☆

Where did you get that little spoon/ bottle opener/ can opener? Looks very useful!!!
4770589 2 years ago
@4770589 I got it at K-Mart. I believe that it is made by Colemans, I got 2 for 1.99.

Great job! Do not worry that is has taken a while. Kits are every evolving. Mine has never been the same, always changing.

thats an awsome kit but its not small really is it....
Airrifle2 2 years ago
@Airrifle2 It was about the size of 3 decks of cards stacked. Not too small but fit in a cargo pocket very easily or attatched to a belt and not too bulky. You can see the pouch I used for it in the 2nd part of this vid at the end.

use an emergency blanket for a quick shelter.you can buy them at walmart for around 2 bucks a piece
97sniper 2 years ago
@97sniper Read the video description. I do carry a "survival" blanket but not those horribly shitty ones Wal Mart carries. If thats all you can afford then by all means go ahead and use that, but for about 6 bucks you can get a Adventure Medical Kits Heat Sheets blanket made from good polycarbonate vs mylar which is piss poor by comparison. The reason the AMK blanket is not in the video is because it was too bulky to fit the bag so I just carry aside.

I tried lighting one of teh cheapy lighters in windy conditions. It didn't work well. A neighbor lent me his bic lighter. It worked much better.

I love that knife where can you get it?
treehouseman2 2 years ago
@treehouseman2 I got this at Wal Mart about a year ago. Its the CRKT M16 10kZ. I don't know if Wal Mart carries it anymore you could probably find them online. I have seen similar knives at REI but not at the same price. The one I have was about $20 if I remember right. The ones I seen at REI are about $40 (I think) but they have larger blades. Hope I helped any other questions please ask.

i brought a survival kit with a magnifying lens to boy scout summer camp one year, and almost 3 times a day i had a tick where i could'nt tell if the head was on.

I think most poeple have too much redundant equipment in their kits. The kit itself is just backup equipment, you don't need backup on backup.
the usual redundant items are fire making equipment, and knifes. Knifes usually don't fail, you dont need 3 blades!
Also, in a survival situation (little/no food) your nails and beard(if thats a concern) stops growing. nailclippers aren't necessary.
Survival is about finding many uses for what you've got. A nailclipper is very limited.

how is the led light on the coghlans whitsle?
avonturiersanne 2 years ago
Very bad in my case. It was missing some internal components and didn't include the battery. I don't know if all Coghlans led/whistle combos are that bad, but the one I purchased was poor on the LED light. Everything else about it worked well though.
superheroideal 2 years ago
what's the name of the bag where you carry every thing in?
avonturiersanne 2 years ago
I honestly don't recall. I got it at I think K-mart years ago on clearnace.

what was the brand of the wissle combo?

coghlans, not bad for 5 bucks at Dicks.

You may want to add a good fire piston and a sealed bag of charred cloth.I also keep some spare cotton cloth and a small tin for making more charred cloth if needed.even if you don't get a piston the cloth will easily take a spark from a flintsteel and hold an ember really well.

camikins772 2 years ago
my advice: take out that tanto style blade and put in a plain edge clip point. clip points have much more use for camping/survival tasks (cant skin something very well with a tanto!) and the clip point will still pierce very well. also plain edges are easier to sharpen than partial serrated. especially if you lose that nifty little sharpener.

Shelter and first aid are pretty much survival with food and water bro.

Again,... it is mentioned within the first 35 seconds of the video as well in the comment box that I carry other gear with this kit.
(Which is now defunk and broken up into other kits.) Had a guy comment on this befor...

carry a 9volt battery and some steel wool, rub the posts across the steel wool, voila! u got fire.
kokonutbaby1 2 years ago
Maybe nice for emergency fire, but I wouldn't trust battery and steel wool for an extended period.
simonwessel 2 years ago 2
Very true. Nice little trick though.
superheroideal 2 years ago
well simonwessel, i wouldnt trust a bic lighter for long term either, and I wouldnt wanna wait on rubbing sticks together if it was cold and windy, or match sticks that can get wet or break...nothing is really long term except maybe flint, but good luck clicking that together for an hr, lol, kinda like stick rubbing... i would like quick fire and something noncombustible to carry around..batteries are not long term but for short term, the battery and steel wool is fast and easy.
kokonutbaby1 2 years ago
I agree. Bic lighters/matches/battery + steel wool are all nice to have to get a fire going quickly, but are only good for so long. For long term fire making I prefer a firesteel since they're easy to use. I usually have ca 10 fires worth of tinder with me and in that time I'd be able to collect new tinder and make sure it's dry. I consider a firesteel long term fire source, since I'd probably die from starvation before that one runs out :) I always carry a bic lighter as emergency fire.

great video. the wire saw is a peice of shit, i would get rid of that if I was you. I use a Gerber folding saw in my kit.
johnboyrebel27 2 years ago 2
Thanks man. The wire saw truely not the greatest piece of gear but works for the most part especially in a kit this size. Since I made this kit I have taken it apart and reworked it. The Gerber saw probably would be too big for a kit this size.

are you fucking nuts?
those are the two most important things you need!!!!!!!!!!!
more people get hurt or freeze to death than they do starve or get thirsty!!!!
stick to the city stupid!!!!!
riseofdixieland13 2 years ago
Well seeing as how you did'nt read the description I'd say your pretty young and apparently ignorant ... how old are you kid about 9 or 10??? I carry other gear with me as stated in the description. I even stated that in the first 35 secs. Shelter huh, I guess you've never heard of a debris hut or lean to have you? Aswell the gear carried in there would help in the building of said shelter. Oh well kids like you really don't know about such though. I swear, dumb YANKEE bitch fags like you!!!!

riseofdixieland13 2 years ago
USMC special forces ... yeah whatever little kid, if you can't even realize that I address shelter and first aid when I say it in the video and the comment box then I'm sure you could not even make it in the border partol let alone the marines. I told you this in the prior comment and your not even man enough to admit that you were wrong. Yankee jackass, see I called you it again theres nothing you can do about it you little 11 year YANKEE son of a bitch. ..
