out our way, they always have a trash bag to help you in case you get stuck out there, you cut your hole in the trash bag to keep the rain off you. also it will keep you warm. an orange one that is big is nice. wear the hat. all the campers were ask to pack 2 trash bags. seriously.
After the hurricane-that-wasn't here in NYC last year, I've been giving some thought to what I would (and could) do if some sort of catastrophe took place which either temporarily or permanently knocked out most of the technology which modern people depend on and take for granted. As a result, I've been taking some preliminary steps to be prepared...and even though I live in the US and not the UK (although I did once), it's comforting to know that I already have most of the essentials together.
I think we're at the point where every 'survival' video is just rehashed info from all the other "experts"; unless someone comes up with an unheard of idea, just save time and don't advertise wisdom already peddled. Most of survival is about keeping your cool when others are freaking out; knowing what to do when others are running about, looting; it's not about how many knives we can carry or which guns blasts a bigger hole thru a target. Learn the fundamentals and practice until confident.
@threepercenter03, I think you have a massive point here but also I think lots of materila on you tube is made from "wannabees". When I go out for a hike I don't gear up for a survival situation, I gear up to withstand the elements and what I bring is what gonna help me survive with comfort. My tent is a good example for that, I wouldn't leave for a mountaintrip without my Hilleberg Tarra tent. I think all of this stuff in this video fits in my regular pack for hiking.
@Virihaure I'm not blasting those who want to sound smarter then the average picnic basket, but everyone should know what works for them and forget what "experts" carry. I have emergency blankets and shelters, tools, lights, etc.; but, if I'm out and about and something unexpected happens and leaves me stranded, what do I do with just the clothes on my back and bare hands? That's what we should be trying to learn more about, "minimalist survival", in case our kit isn't at hand when SHTF.
Would you prefer that tarp for shelter over a 1 person small tent? Or did you choose the tarp because of its light weight and multi usage. Depending on the element, if it were snow, I would choose the tent. Those things are a bitch to clean out if you track dirt in there lol.
Great presentation and very logical. This would be a great kit for the USA as well--where I am located. I would add three things 1) a poncho, 2) extra pair of socks 3) a map. I think the last item is one of the most important since if you really aren't thinking abut a map, you're bound to get lost--at least in many parts of the USA where we have large expanses of low population densities. But as you clearly indicated probably not necessary in Britain.
I'd trade the note pad for a deck of cards. Worst case, you sit down and play solitaire and some jackass is bound to come up and tell you what move to make.... ;P great stuff bud!
what type of survival kit could you make that would get through airport security (i always wanted a kit just in case the plane goes down and i survive and need to keep doing that)
i suspect any knife, hatchet, or decently sharp rock would not make it through (well a sharp rock might if you keep it on your person since its not made of metal and wont set off the detector)
canteen might but you'd have to open it and show them you havent filled it with plastic explosives or something.
to me that is a back pack kit a survival kit is wore a round the waist so it you lost your back pack you still can survival over night or 2 or 3 days to travel out
I am American and I liked your vid very much. I carry the same essentials in my pack. You reassured me that I have what I need for mine and my families needs. Thanks great vid!!
nice vid partner, some good info, this pack would serve in any location as a base and people could add what they needed to suit their particular climate, I've thought about this and can think of no changes I would make even in a semi arid climate here in West Texas.
good video, but i thank we get lost in the 10 items idea, i thank a waight limit would be better, say 5lb, who realy cares if it,s 8 items or 10 items or even 20 items, whats realy important is that what ever you carry, is essenttial for your survival, and that you know how to use it, and that it,s light and small enough that it,s easy to carry and use so you wount leave it home,
One suggestion would be to include a topographic map (countour map) of the region that you are traveling in. A compass is somewhat worthless without a bearing or known direction.
I guess I'm a 'novice prepper'. Learning a lot and have started to stock up. Already have a 9MM, .380 and ammo. Food, water, survival supplies adding up every pay day. I've even planned a route to Charleston.
I look around and see the majority of people are oblivious to the news they hear every day. I'm buying dried goods for storage...while they buy the latest video games. It must've been like this just before the crash of 1929. If this crash occurs..it'll make 1929 look like a picnic.
@gambleyourhealth he has 1 probably because he's smart enough to know he may need it. i have a compass too. and i know how to find my way just fine. however, you should be prepared for changes that may cause confusion. if you are deep enough into woods it can get very dark for one thing. and that's just one thing. put it this way--i don't think you will find any experienced survival person telling anyone to not have a compass.
@gambleyourhealth I understand your point, and often at night I'll use the stars for navigation. But in England, fog often obscures the view of Sun and stars.
For modern day emergency use, a map, compass, satellite phone and GPS are the items I might wish I had....
i really dig what you said at the beginning about adapting your kit to your specific climate, i think a lot of people over look that aspect, and just pack relatively lightly. living at the foothills of the adirondack mountains in upstate new york, our climate swings dramatically. from bone chilling cold and snow in the winter with over 110 inches of snow annually on average, to temps in the 90's in high summer (30-40c), it quickly becomes a challenge to decide what and how much to go with.
I like you, i like that your not an old survivalist trying to share information, and your not some 10 year old kid who thinks they are experts at it. Your just you giving usefull information. Cheers mate!
Okay, nice video, but there are no such thing as "Essential items to survive" cause if you are smart enough, you can do without these items, but you are so right about this being a basic 10 piece kit, that might save your life.
Love that you emphasized the emphasis for personalization. People should know that whatever that works for *them, is what they carry. Glad to see that you have your stuff figured out, I learned a lot from it.
@TheRaellz you can pack individual packets of honey that will work similar to topical antibiotics and can help with some allergy issues when consumed. Even white cane sugar can be used on superficial wounds. Here is the US many antibiotics are FREE, so tell your doctor that you have a UTI or something and call them in. That is how we have been stocking up on ours
@UndercoverT2 i live in the U.S and as far as i know you need prescription to get them in pill form. topical stuff lasts for a long time but i was referring to pills. i've had ear infections that nothing could help except pill antibiotics.
i've lived in the wild's of lancashire when i was young ,all i had was a knife ,a hatchet ,no compass i used the moon for direction ,knicked a pair of tight's too act as a filter for the water,oh and a zippo of my grandad,i ate hedgehog ,squirel , and trout out of the stream,trout tickling too get the fish , i managed 7 month's like this until some smack head nicked my stuff while out hunting
Being an American from the west coast, I just love that thick British accent. This guy could narrate anything and make it clear and concise. This guy needs a job in America, he would be a hit.
Whether we are European or not, England has it's very own climate that can vary dramatically over the distance of 50miles, the vid poster is from the south which is affected by the gulf stream and is warmer, more flat and receives less rain than where I am from in the north (about 200 miles ish away) and is the complete opposite, this affecting the flora and fauna dramatically too. All he is trying to say is that you need a generic kit which suits any situation geographically in the UK. Good Vid
@wall2rockclimber No probs mate, really well thought out, practical kit, mine is somewhat similar as it happens... really does my nut in when people critisise and they don't actually listen to what the vid is about. Have fun mate, keep on posting
@wall2rockclimber I'm in North Carolina, of the USA - totally get what you're saying about adjusting your kit to fit. within thirty miles or so of my location we've got beaches, freshwater ponds, river, pine forest and marsh type stuff. in the west of the state they have mountains which are totally diff than anything i'm used to. it's actually a point well worth making.
@wall2rockclimber Not necessarily. I'm American and I like what you have here. I should! Over the many years of my backpacking both of your lists are exactly the same as mine.
When it comes to torches I find most of the LED Lenser range is very good to have, they are built well and are good for your money, but not to mention they are really bright.
Where would I be able to buy a water bottle similar to yours as well as a possibles pouch similar to yours, I could use one of those pouches.
@philipkthompson It's not part of the European continent and although part of the EU most English or British people would never consider themselves European!
Instead of a hatchet, you could use a good-quality, high-carbon steel gurkha-kukri blade as a "chopper/hatchet" tool, plus a good defensive blade. Minimization is always good.
Your guidelines also work well in Michigan. Anywhere in the USA we add water purification via tablets or boiling for at least three minutes. We also use the possible kit: Mine is in a metal Prince Albert tobacco can about the size of a wallet. Inside are over 20 items. The can is first wrapped with duct tape, next aluminum foil and last para cord. Sealed by a turn of electrical tape. regards stonenstrop
Having been homeless in Michigan for three months (Jan to March), I can attest this kit would work perfect in Northern states. I would opt for a steel Nalgene or Klean Kanteen to melt snow/boil water in. A very small bottle of Bleach to disinfect suspect water (a few drops per Nalgene/Kanteen) is invaluable, not to mention some petrolium jelly-infused cotton balls to make all-weather "tinder." Stay warm/dry with anti-sweat 100% Merino wool for undershirt, balaclava, socks. Waterproof boots
that seems like a basic survival kit for no matter where you are. Water, shelter, Fire, food. Good knife/folding saw, cooking cup and your good to go :)
@BigRooster747 UK is Britan, Europe is a whole continent. You do relize that Russia is much colder than say, the island of Cyprus. Do not take this as criticizem, as it is not. Have a good day mate.
@BigRooster747 .... Europe inst one big country, Spain,, France, England, Scotland, Germany etc etc- all have different climates!, please don't be one of those idiots who think everyone in Europe is the same and the climate and way of life and society is the same, its like us saying everyone on the American continent has the same climate and way of life.e.g- Americans have the same climate and traditions as Brazil.
@MrFreedomrequired your right carry a fishing pole ,and tackle with you were ever u go also u might wanna carry a tackle box around with you every were ya know ...JUST IN CASE it makes no sense to make some paracord braclets and were em everyday and carry a lil tin with some small fishing hooks thrown in with your favorite mints and carry them in your pocket along with a fero rod and your favorite knife with you every day like i do so im gonna ditch those in favor of the forementiond items
@hampsterMSR i think what he means is england is different interms of terain from other parts of europe just like u wouldnt want to put together a survival kit for a desert climate if you live in alaska
@MrFreedomrequired Have I missed something here? An Englishman puts up a vid, clearly stating its about surviving in ENGLISH woods. Someone then asks the diff between kits thru UK. WTF has this got to do with Canada?
Most (sensible) people will plan ahead and would include midgie repelent in their kit for Scotland. Obviously if you find yourself in a survival situation, it's not priority.
There are some forums out there where people seem to enjoy petty arguments - maybe worth a look!
@Wyndstarthedruid How can a response be racist ? It is because the comment -answer could be a racist comment.. I hate racists. I haven't been for the retard check up but i'm sure i'm not 1. I asked the question in jest as I have found out over the years that somehow English people get England , Great Britain and the United Kingdom mixed up where they think that is is all England.
@Wyndstarthedruid Your response isn't correct though as In the Uk there are many races but different cultures where depending on what part of the UK you come from ,what religion you are and what school went to has a great effect on what you can achieve in life.
@deeds1957 There are many races sure, but the actual english themselves are a majority white, the rest are immigrants. and thats a damn shame that it is up the school you went to what measures your success.
@Wyndstarthedruid More probably than not saying that the majority of English are white as in Caucasian will only last maybe the next 2 generations. The number 1 boys name in England for new borns is Mohammed but the authorities keep that fact hidden. The powers that be have declared war on the White race. I do hate racism but have found (witnessed ) in my life that most racists are not Caucasian but Black, Coloured . Muslim and Hispanics seem to complain a lot but never go back. LOL
@Wyndstarthedruid Wait I thought england....and the english were a country not a race....holy fuck im confused to hell now.....where does race have anything to do with a country! When you become a citizen of england no matter your race...YOU BECOME ENGLISH!
@MrFreedomrequired incorrect. simple answer. if that answer was infact correct, we wouldnt be hearing shit from the native americans and mexicans in america about how we are not americans we are just immigrants. truth is, we are immigrants, conquering immigrants. now look at england. who are the immigrants now?
Just quickly mate when you get citizenship to England it does not make you English it makes you a citizen of the UK. But race has nothing to do with what i said nor this video so please dont carry on this arguement .
Good choices to take. Did you mention food? The ten essensials, the way I practice it America, always includes a little food; I like some preseasoned, instant 'whole grains' in a zip-lock bag. It keeps forever and is quite filling. A couple of pieces of dark chocolate and a couple of packages of soup will round it out, all in the same zip-lock bag. It's an easy thing to carry. Low weight, bulk, and gives you an added egde of safty if you have to spend and extra day or two out in the bush.
Why does every "Survival Kit" video i watch have a fire striker in it... Isn't a cigarette lighter much more practical... ?
You can get them wet, they create a flame rather than spark.. and they're still just as rugged and durable. I know that's my choice when it comes to fire.
@hillynath69 Yes but lighters are a machine with internal components, thus they can break or wear out. They also require fuel for them to work. They will also have trouble in even minor winds. Considering that they both weigh very little I include a lighter and a firesteel.
@CalebHaggard5 I imagine fire wasn't priority on his list as his training would have been focused towards evasion and remaining undetected. Fire is kinda important for many reasons.

@TehRoflNinja The real 550 paracord has 7 inner yarns each made up of 3 strands that can be used for emergency sewing, fishing, etc.

When it comes to torches I find most of the LED Lenser range is very good to have, they are built well and are good for your money, but not to mention they are really bright.
Where would I be able to buy a water bottle similar to yours as well as a possibles pouch similar to yours, I could use one of those pouches.

Instead of a hatchet, you could use a good-quality, high-carbon steel gurkha-kukri blade as a "chopper/hatchet" tool, plus a good defensive blade. Minimization is always good.

Your guidelines also work well in Michigan. Anywhere in the USA we add water purification via tablets or boiling for at least three minutes. We also use the possible kit: Mine is in a metal Prince Albert tobacco can about the size of a wallet. Inside are over 20 items. The can is first wrapped with duct tape, next aluminum foil and last para cord. Sealed by a turn of electrical tape. regards stonenstrop

Having been homeless in Michigan for three months (Jan to March), I can attest this kit would work perfect in Northern states. I would opt for a steel Nalgene or Klean Kanteen to melt snow/boil water in. A very small bottle of Bleach to disinfect suspect water (a few drops per Nalgene/Kanteen) is invaluable, not to mention some petrolium jelly-infused cotton balls to make all-weather "tinder." Stay warm/dry with anti-sweat 100% Merino wool for undershirt, balaclava, socks. Waterproof boots

MrFreedomrequired 4 months ago
@MrFreedomrequired Have I missed something here? An Englishman puts up a vid, clearly stating its about surviving in ENGLISH woods. Someone then asks the diff between kits thru UK. WTF has this got to do with Canada?
Most (sensible) people will plan ahead and would include midgie repelent in their kit for Scotland. Obviously if you find yourself in a survival situation, it's not priority.
There are some forums out there where people seem to enjoy petty arguments - maybe worth a look!

@Wyndstarthedruid How can a response be racist ? It is because the comment -answer could be a racist comment.. I hate racists. I haven't been for the retard check up but i'm sure i'm not 1. I asked the question in jest as I have found out over the years that somehow English people get England , Great Britain and the United Kingdom mixed up where they think that is is all England.
deeds1957 5 months ago
@Wyndstarthedruid Your response isn't correct though as In the Uk there are many races but different cultures where depending on what part of the UK you come from ,what religion you are and what school went to has a great effect on what you can achieve in life.
deeds1957 5 months ago
@deeds1957 There are many races sure, but the actual english themselves are a majority white, the rest are immigrants. and thats a damn shame that it is up the school you went to what measures your success.
Wyndstarthedruid 5 months ago
@Wyndstarthedruid More probably than not saying that the majority of English are white as in Caucasian will only last maybe the next 2 generations. The number 1 boys name in England for new borns is Mohammed but the authorities keep that fact hidden. The powers that be have declared war on the White race. I do hate racism but have found (witnessed ) in my life that most racists are not Caucasian but Black, Coloured . Muslim and Hispanics seem to complain a lot but never go back. LOL

@MrFreedomrequired incorrect. simple answer. if that answer was infact correct, we wouldnt be hearing shit from the native americans and mexicans in america about how we are not americans we are just immigrants. truth is, we are immigrants, conquering immigrants. now look at england. who are the immigrants now?

Good choices to take. Did you mention food? The ten essensials, the way I practice it America, always includes a little food; I like some preseasoned, instant 'whole grains' in a zip-lock bag. It keeps forever and is quite filling. A couple of pieces of dark chocolate and a couple of packages of soup will round it out, all in the same zip-lock bag. It's an easy thing to carry. Low weight, bulk, and gives you an added egde of safty if you have to spend and extra day or two out in the bush.

Why does every "Survival Kit" video i watch have a fire striker in it... Isn't a cigarette lighter much more practical... ?
You can get them wet, they create a flame rather than spark.. and they're still just as rugged and durable. I know that's my choice when it comes to fire.
hillynath69 5 months ago
@hillynath69 Yes but lighters are a machine with internal components, thus they can break or wear out. They also require fuel for them to work. They will also have trouble in even minor winds. Considering that they both weigh very little I include a lighter and a firesteel.
