a solid list, but two of them raise questions. 1 the sling shot bands, how do you attach the bands to a stick while still having enough band left to be effective. 2 the saber saw, allthough it is compact it is not light and not the most effcient, and given the rest of your gear what would you need with a 12'' log? you could not split it and that makes it tough to burn, and you don't need any thing that big to bild with.

@outsidersurvivor good insight, this was 2 years ago , I suppose I would choose differently as my skills and gear has changed over the years

Really great video. Suggestion: everyone is including Nalgenes but they are all empty. I say load it up with more stuff. Maybe comfort items, bars & other high cal food/treats etc. You can rotate through those & restock every 6 mos or so. Doubles as a 32 oz container of food...or fill it up w/more stuff. Thoughts?

[beast12101]

@darrensylvander sure, but it wouldnt work for the contest

[beast12101]

@blkwulff let see your video

[gxbmb]

dont use duct tape as bandaid... it is acidic

[Soundgarden8497]

number 2 a saber saw? that's not 2nd item of importance in a survival kit... unless you're trying to survive in business as a broke ass lumberjack

[gforce118118]

nice compact kit. i think you covered all the essentials. dont feel like keeping dry food in there? nice video too, you didnt over explain everything like alot of people do.

One items that people neglect is Crazy Glue. It will stitch up nasty cuts instantly, patch up many tears, strengthens knots you don't want to come loose and is flammable. I LOVE Crazy Glue.

[GargamelThinks]

Very good video. Excellent kit. I'm all about weight and you handled that superbly. Kudos.

seen kitchen knifes that would be better than the rat 3

@beast12101 if i may add first aid kits are somewhat overrated if you carry items with multipurpose functions you benefit more than carrying a 50p aid kit vasuline starts fire waterproofs wounds lubricates skin and lips.cotton bandana acts as a covering or a container as well as char cloth and a bandage duct tape is king! if i may suggest instead of para cord you should give bank line a try, all in all your kit is great glad to see someone else adding common sense in there kit great work brother

I used a multi tool while in the ARMY INF. but only to put on and take off the blank adapter on an M60 and M240. Don't understand the purpose of one while in the woods. I would have replaced that with an extra pair of sox. Nice kit and nice bag.
