hard candy (for energy)
gatorade

Great vid, but a you should get a different knife

[Dmajorproductions]

@huntercaveman i agree, and i have since purchased a cold steel bowie machete, which i have heat treated, and replaced its rubber handle, and a gi tanto, at the time i made this vid i was basically strapped for cash, but i have since gotten off my lazy ass and gotten a job.

thanks for the comment

@124fooby both excellent ideas

Ditch the tins (too heavy)

Shrink down the repellent,

Add an emergency blanket, or foil tube tent for lining tarp/poncho, caves are fucking cold.

Add four more tent pegs for tarping without trees...

Add cotton balls to sanitiser for fire tinder. Or cotton balls and vaseline for fire, No need for sticks the size you got., quarter of one of them...

Ditch toilet paper, use baby wipes cleans pots and pans too.

A Balisong is FAR FAR stronger

I would add a triangular bandage too, pairs nice with ace.

@8thsinner caves in AZ are warm and humid, even in winter, but i appreciate the concern :) i use most of the things you mentioned( cotton balls, baby wipes triangular bandaids, to be honest, womens hygiene pads make AMAZING bandages)

and as for the rest of it, im on a budget :P but thank you!

@animeluver885 i do have a few rods of ferrocerium, but they are expensive

Also, Bobby pins with thin cord makes great clothes pegs.and tarp clips.
