Good description. Favorite for reference. I am new at all this. I understand the aqua plus, and 5L bags concept, but just curious that you don't have a metal cup in survival kit; for boiling water? Also seems like Picardin is replacing deet up here; not sure of pro's/cons.

@ez2curanut Basically I'm never out there without a canteen and cup. In a tropical environment it is very hard to keep up with hydration by boiling water so I always make sure I have a chemical means to treat water.

Very Nice! I'm one of the folks that have been confused at times as to the difference's of these two terms. Seems often times the two concepts seem to merge. I really liked your personal definitions of the possibles pouch and the survival kit and feel that it suites my needs well as a better organization tool. Thanks again : ) Sara

@saradreaming Sara, if you find yourself ever tearing into a survival kit to get stuff to use on a regular basis you should reorganize. Emergency supplies are for emergencies not daily living. Likewise if your survival kit contains all sorts of stuff not directly related to actually "staying alive" it should be rethought.

A lot of mini survival kits, (kits you take with you when you do not think you will need it, but you take with you anyway) I see on YouTube seem to rely on the fact that there is well, garbage in the northern forests that can provide material (containers, metal sheet, plastic, old fence wire, etc.) for use in survival. When you and your friend are out in the bush do you see discarded items that can be used for this, or is it a more pristine area without much modern "material" there?

@monkeyboy4746 Slumming or hobo survival skills are important but I take those things as targets of opportunity and they don't constitute a part of my planning.

Nice job. Thanks for taking the time to show it..........

"Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!"

Very informative video, thank you for taking the time to differentiate between the different levels of preparedness needed for wilderness activities. Has made me re-organise my own gear into a (I think) better managed system.

One more sub to your channel to check out what other pearls of wisdom are on offer!

It takes a real man to admit he has a purse...lol

Great video!!

@Tmdkiller you're not going to be worried about your figure when you're in a survival situation, or any time you need quick energy for that matter (long distance runners/bikers carry gels that are essentially cake frosting.) i prefer ones made from fruit just because they taste better, but they're still nothing but simple sugars and carbohydrates..

[Tmdkiller]

Sugar gives you empty Calories. Unless you need it for  "low-sugar disease" Sorry i'm just saying.

How much your neck knife?

Good pack..thanks for the info.

[NWBushman]

Well said & well done. Very thorough!!

Great vid, thank you. This helped me out a lot with understanding what these different things are. I have managed to make a comprehensive enough survival kit in the tobacco tin form, so I don't really need the pouch one as well. Then my possibles is about the same size as yours. I also have a BK14 with PSK that I always have on me aswell as my survival kit and a few other items.

Excellent vid, thank you so much - you obviously have a LOT of wisdom and knowledge to share, subbed to your channel.

Mac, great concept, I use a fanny pack as my possibles bag since these are the items you will use most often. This way you will have easy access without taking off your whole pack. My survival kit bag has a belt loop on the back so if I want to do a short hike away from camp, I just attach the survival kit to the belt of the fanny pack and I have my possibles bag and survival kit with me. The canteen rig can attach to the belt as well.
