At a minimum you should have a water purification straw so you won't have to worry about a container. Lack of clean water is your first and foremost problem, not deciding which led light to use or which knife ???? Two whistles ??? Couple large bandaids, few aspirins, polysporin, water purification tablets, snare wire, fishing line, hooks, needle,..all very small items that could be important. You need to think about multiple uses for single items not multiple items for a single use.
You'd have to find all your own fresh water and food. What game are you going to kill with 2 small knives, two firestarters, two flashlights and a rape whistle?
Armed with only this in the wild I'd give you about two days if you couldn't find food or water.
hey great video.... i love the kit yoouve put together.... not sure about the comments above "only amateurs get hurt" having worked as a medic in new zealand and now in australia for the state emergency services I can assure you that this is not the case :) I go out weekly in the hiills here and would not leave the house with out my first aid kit.... or survivial kit for that matter... australia may hav esoome of the best phoones available cheapply but their coverage is shocking
i would remove the sog, and the large whistle because you already have both a small blade & whistle. i would replace with water purification tabs, 3 or 4 sandwich size ziplock bags. i would add cotton balls soaked in vaseline. remove countycomm light and add sliver of credit card wrapped in duck/med tape.... other than that good start!
@EDCgearJUNKIE ..I agree with your suggestions..I like the credit card/Duct Tape wrap. Can be used for band aid, repairs of clothing, tent and other items. Holding things together. The cotton balls/vaseline, can be shoved nicely in drinking straws - cut to length ) for easier storage. But again there is bound to be good firestarting material around..milkweed pod stuffing, cat tail fluff, bark, grass, or shavings of wood, is good too. Nice starting kit..which is growing. "thumbs up
Small plastic bag folded for water gathering, or some germicidal tablets for making water potable, or the survival kit mad of stainless steel so you can use it itself for cooking and boiling!
so you have just about 3 lights in there, one of them in a otherwise virtually useless card I would exchange the knife with the Victorinox Pocket Hunter. I would definitely add some first aid items (alcohol, needle and thread, some cotton) - most of these items can be use to start a fire as well (you can both cut the wood and kill the food with the Pocket Hunter). As someone said, now that your wounds are not bleeding any longer, you got a fire started and all you'll miss is the clean water
I'd change the logic card as it is pretty much everything but smaller.. change for something more usefull? or just take that it probably wieghs like 500g
add some iodine tablets. They don't take up much room, they are pretty light, and they can be used for both medical purposes and water purification. Other than that, great job!
A couple of other thoughts. If you are set on having a backup blade, why not consider a couple of X-Acto scalpel blades. They could easily be lashed to a small but sturdy stick with the inner fibers of para-cord, and two or three of them weigh next to nothing and take up very little space. Also You could replace the factory lanyard with a survival braid of para-cord. Thanks for the video. It has given me some good ideas.
I like the kit. Seems very well thought out. However the survival card is a little bit redundant. It is always good to have backup equipment, but I would say that the entire kit is, in itself, a backup. Perhaps you could consider replacing it with some water purification tablets, snare wire, or some other means of procuring food and/or clean drinking water.
@NateTheGreat88213 lmao... i get that same urge from time to time. i was thinking... lost one of the flash light things and put in some water purifying tabs. flash lights just don't help much with giardia or cryptosperidiam (sp?)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
would you just please open the damn thing, we can determine the size of it, screw using the measuring tape, we get it ok......just move on with your point. we are not freakin idiots.
@getrealthen No offence or anything, but if you don't care then don't watch it. That seems like a fairly basic concept to me, but if you have difficulty understanding please let me know and I will do my best to explain it a little better for you. dumb ass.
@getrealthen Glue the signal mirror to the outside, ditch the small led and put an extra battery for the petzl for christ sakes, thats so redundant its sickening. Wheres the fishing line? I mean really... The swiss card is also redundant a little crappy scissors wont do shit compared to that knife....
I'd replace the headlamp with a space blanket, the pocket knife with a multitool cause I alway have atleast one knife on me already, I'd take out the whistle and the padding of the container for medical supplies, and I'd also just squeeze in some water purification tablets.
The only thing I would add is water purification tablets unless you know yoru plants in which case you know where to find your water. I have heard of a case where tourists cut up a plant to get water but sadly it was highly toxious and they died, so either take water or know your plants.
Hi, I was wondering, I've been making spoons and pipes and stuff out of wood...is it dangerous at all to harvest wood that you dont know if its toxic or not..is there a way to tell if it is?
@lbizzythefire Yeah i know.... I'm just saying that tablets might be more versatile. I mean you can always find a water container but not always one that you can boil water in... am I making sense?
I like this kit. For refference, I learned from Peak Survival, a great product to have in a survival kit is a non lubricated condom because it serves as a lightweight water keg that can hold 1 gallon of water at a time.
2 knives and three lights, but no way to treat water. Better to put that gear in a kleen canteen so your cup for boiling water is with you, add some paracord, some medical tape and you are good to go. medical tape is really all you need, no bandages, the tape will do the job. Also I would add three titanium nail tent pegs, they can be stuck in ground and used to hold canteen up over fire. Doing it this way will not add weight because you are losing the plastic case.
water water water, no way to carry or purify water add a ziplock bag or even a condom and some iodine tabs brother. other than that a nice little kit and nice vid Thankyee hahaha
defanetley not the way i would go with a survival kit, but i live in oregon...... still though seems like youve got some un necissary stuff in there like more than 1 light and more than 1 blade. cut down on 1 light and one blade and add some tinder or some first aid items.
in all my kits I keep small blocks of wood that have been soaked in fuel . leave it to half dry then rap it in a bit of foil extremely useful . A spark sets it instanly on fire
if the LED flashlight has a micro processor in it then its case should be EMP shielded which would make it great for a post-nuclear attack survival kit. Simply wrapping it in tissue and then wrapping that in aluminum foil would do the trick. All my WROL/SHTF electronics (radios, walkies, LED lights with microprocessors) are in EMP shielded boxes or wrappings.
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.
Such a small kit I'm sure would be an emergency kit that you would use in case , somehow, you lost all or part of your other stuff.So you'd have to make it considerably harder to lose.Also I don't see the point in having 2 blades, 3 lights, etc.For an emergency kit you should keep redundant stuff to a minimum and extend the range of use as much as possible like adding more paracord and a compass. I'm guessing a compass in the desert is a good thing. Oh, and you say "fairly" a lot lol.
the petzle torh has a loud energency whistle attatched to it n the head tourch maked the small press light obselete, get rid of extra torch and whistle n add emc blanket.
the petzle torh has a loud energency whistle attatched to it n the head tourch maked the small press light obselete, get rid of extra torch and whistle n add emc blanket.
not sure why you have 2 firestarter and of the small led light. the space could be use for like a compass or other equipments not covered by the rest of the kit.
I like a lot, think about adding some fishing line and some hooks?? Also a sewing needle too in case you had to close up a wound? Other then that I like.
@GearBuyersGuide it's good to see you've considered the area in which you'll be using the kit. I would suggest one or two of those tiny tampon things - sounds fruity, but it's made to absorb blood, so will make a good compress for a wound and is cotton so it'll burn well - could do like some ppl say and add cotton balls with vaseline. some tinfoil is usually highly useful as well. a few asprin wouldn't hurt... just some things to think about. ultimately you'll refine it as u see fit.
Agreed. Sewing up a wound is important. Also it should have some bandages, infection fighting ointment and perhaps some medication for infections as well.
In a survival situation your not going to want to sew up a deep wound without proper debrashion , sterilization, and possible knowledge/training to properly close a wound.
@TheSingingDemon A sewing needle is a good idea. if nothing else was available , but i would prefer a real suture needle especially if i was the patient
Nice kit...what do you think about removing that padding from the case and adding a space blanket (use as blanket or tarp shelter). Removing that padding will allow you to also fit some anti-bacterial ointment, alcohol swabs, and bandaids...just some thoughts.
Who says you cant carry water and food in this kit ... Buy a Survival straw and shove it in there .. Add Boulon cubes .. Chicken or beef , And add some of those koolaid packages ,, because they can make nasty tasting water taste ok ... And ... Add some tea bags or the Starbucks VIA Instant coffee packages ... Small and easy to fit... The last thing that I always add to survival kits is ciggaretts because the packs are small and can be traded..
While we're at it, an Aqua-Pouch, especially the smaller 1 qt size might fit in there, too. Again, no knock on the Petzl, it's just prioritizing. Light is minor compared to water & shelter. The ol' Rule of Threes: 3 minutes w/o air, 3 hours w/o shelter, 3 days w/o water and 3 weeks w/o food.
You've really got me thinking, GBG- I might have to cook up my own kit to fit that same case, just to see what I'd come up with! :)
Nice little kit overall. I have the same case, although mine is just an empty one. One thing I'd change in that kit would be to replace the Petzl headlamp with a space emergency blanket, heavy can liner or small drop cloth. For the limited space I think the ability to create shelter or hold water is much more important than light. If you need light you're got the Tool Logic card, and small micro LEDs are very small and very cheap.
I think a button compass will be a great addiction, and some purification tablet too. A not tubed condom can complete the kit. The 3 things are all very very small, and can be inserted, I think.
Some (small) fishing hooks can be added with no space loss.
Some meters of braided paracord, at the corner of the box can complete the all kit with a folded aluminium foil, as already written
IMO it's okay but I'm not sure the intention of it. is it a quick 1-2 day kit or a week+ kit? if it's a 1-2 day then it looks good but anymore than that I would want some type of fishing line or wire for fishing and snares and for either purpose I would add a non lubricated condom for collecting water.
Nice little kit but a person doesn't need to spend the kind of money you did on this stuff. You can make your own kit with so much less money by using basic materials, such as cotton balls instead of those tinders you have; a Bic lighter would be a good, etc. Most of this stuff can be used but is really not needed. There's no compass, no med kit, etc. I agree below about the aluminum foil; I have it in mine too.
Fold up some aluminium foil and toss it in the bottom ;)
Great for cooking, signalling, and even fire starting in rainy or snowy conditions (use the foil as a baseplate, to reflect heat and reduce heat loss into the wet ground).
@GearBuyersGuide I wouldn't carry water, food, or shelter in a small kit like this either but it sure would come in handy to have some water purification tablets, some snare wire and fishing gear, and maybe a space blanket to give yourself an advantage in a bad situation. I think they would all fit in your kit too.
Really, Where do you get your gear? I mean this is a sweet kit! but Case with jetscream and starflash $60, county comm a buck, SOG $80, Sparkie $15, Petzl $40, Benchmade $30, Tool logic $14, sounds roughly like $240 bucks to me..with no shelter, water purification, first aid, etc....Im just saying
Your forgot the condoms...

if the LED flashlight has a micro processor in it then its case should be EMP shielded which would make it great for a post-nuclear attack survival kit. Simply wrapping it in tissue and then wrapping that in aluminum foil would do the trick. All my WROL/SHTF electronics (radios, walkies, LED lights with microprocessors) are in EMP shielded boxes or wrappings.

Such a small kit I'm sure would be an emergency kit that you would use in case , somehow, you lost all or part of your other stuff.So you'd have to make it considerably harder to lose.Also I don't see the point in having 2 blades, 3 lights, etc.For an emergency kit you should keep redundant stuff to a minimum and extend the range of use as much as possible like adding more paracord and a compass. I'm guessing a compass in the desert is a good thing. Oh, and you say "fairly" a lot lol.

not sure why you have 2 firestarter and of the small led light. the space could be use for like a compass or other equipments not covered by the rest of the kit.

Nice starter kit
In survival mode fishing line and hooks can get you birds to eat as well as repair gear
Every thing in your kit should have more than one use a little forethought and your kit will be bang on

@GearBuyersGuide it's good to see you've considered the area in which you'll be using the kit. I would suggest one or two of those tiny tampon things - sounds fruity, but it's made to absorb blood, so will make a good compress for a wound and is cotton so it'll burn well - could do like some ppl say and add cotton balls with vaseline. some tinfoil is usually highly useful as well. a few asprin wouldn't hurt... just some things to think about. ultimately you'll refine it as u see fit.

Agreed. Sewing up a wound is important. Also it should have some bandages, infection fighting ointment and perhaps some medication for infections as well.

In a survival situation your not going to want to sew up a deep wound without proper debrashion , sterilization, and possible knowledge/training to properly close a wound.

Nice kit...what do you think about removing that padding from the case and adding a space blanket (use as blanket or tarp shelter). Removing that padding will allow you to also fit some anti-bacterial ointment, alcohol swabs, and bandaids...just some thoughts.

good idea, but the paddingisn't that thick, it's perhaps 5 or 6 peices of paper think IIRC

Who says you cant carry water and food in this kit ... Buy a Survival straw and shove it in there .. Add Boulon cubes .. Chicken or beef , And add some of those koolaid packages ,, because they can make nasty tasting water taste ok ... And ... Add some tea bags or the Starbucks VIA Instant coffee packages ... Small and easy to fit... The last thing that I always add to survival kits is ciggaretts because the packs are small and can be traded..

While we're at it, an Aqua-Pouch, especially the smaller 1 qt size might fit in there, too. Again, no knock on the Petzl, it's just prioritizing. Light is minor compared to water & shelter. The ol' Rule of Threes: 3 minutes w/o air, 3 hours w/o shelter, 3 days w/o water and 3 weeks w/o food.
You've really got me thinking, GBG- I might have to cook up my own kit to fit that same case, just to see what I'd come up with! :)
robbabcock1969 1 year ago
Nice little kit overall. I have the same case, although mine is just an empty one. One thing I'd change in that kit would be to replace the Petzl headlamp with a space emergency blanket, heavy can liner or small drop cloth. For the limited space I think the ability to create shelter or hold water is much more important than light. If you need light you're got the Tool Logic card, and small micro LEDs are very small and very cheap.
Nice little kit overall, though.
robbabcock1969 1 year ago
@robbabcock1969
good point, and the Petzel takes up about the same space as a emergency blanket would
GearBuyersGuide 1 year ago
Talking about "minimal space and weight items":
I think a button compass will be a great addiction, and some purification tablet too. A not tubed condom can complete the kit. The 3 things are all very very small, and can be inserted, I think.
Some (small) fishing hooks can be added with no space loss.
Some meters of braided paracord, at the corner of the box can complete the all kit with a folded aluminium foil, as already written
This is NOT a "judgement", but only my idea

IMO it's okay but I'm not sure the intention of it. is it a quick 1-2 day kit or a week+ kit? if it's a 1-2 day then it looks good but anymore than that I would want some type of fishing line or wire for fishing and snares and for either purpose I would add a non lubricated condom for collecting water.
reaper34 1 year ago
Nice little kit but a person doesn't need to spend the kind of money you did on this stuff. You can make your own kit with so much less money by using basic materials, such as cotton balls instead of those tinders you have; a Bic lighter would be a good, etc. Most of this stuff can be used but is really not needed. There's no compass, no med kit, etc. I agree below about the aluminum foil; I have it in mine too.

Fold up some aluminium foil and toss it in the bottom ;)
Great for cooking, signalling, and even fire starting in rainy or snowy conditions (use the foil as a baseplate, to reflect heat and reduce heat loss into the wet ground).

@GearBuyersGuide I wouldn't carry water, food, or shelter in a small kit like this either but it sure would come in handy to have some water purification tablets, some snare wire and fishing gear, and maybe a space blanket to give yourself an advantage in a bad situation. I think they would all fit in your kit too.
