Those cereal bars...ugh. Imagine taking an ENTIRE box of cereal and compressing into that size bar. It's not as tough as hard tack but still damn tough to eat! They also put them in long range patrol rations...this was in the 80's, maybe it's better now.
The thing is putting yellow straps on the kit makes it highly visible that can equally help or no help they make it easier for rescues to see you butt also makes you seem by who ever is trying to capture or kill you
My uncle is one of the founding members of the military cold weather survival school in Alaska his name was Jess S. Taylor and did a lot of stuff for the state 🪖🇺🇸✝️🙏
@@Jeff-Larryson Yeah I have carried and used bullion cubes and even the flavor packets that come in ramen noodles. I can’t really think of a reason not to have them.
Hi thanks for your video. I got some of those head nets new.Also the first aid kits. I came across same kit box but orange in colour. They are equipped with salt water purification contents. Unusual but I've never put them to the test.👍👍🇬🇧
I flew in the Army in Alaska from 89-92. We were required to carry this survival kit, but also each crew member carried their own gear, plus weapons for protection and survival. This brought back memories Note: to test the water in the cans, hold in one hand and slap the bottom. There is a bag inside and you’ll feel it slide. If not, the bag is broken and discard the water
I got the same exact kit but the one I got came with a manual. it is a pretty basic manual that most likely got thrown out of the kit. if you are a down pilot and bail out over enemy territory, most likely you would totally leave that kit behind and haul your rear end into a safest area- or just ejecting out of a crashing aircraft- that would be the last item on your list to grab. This is why the airman/woman wears all their survival stuff incorporated into their survival vest or cargo pockets. I don't think anyone wants to haul a bunch of cans of water & rations through enemy territory.
Brother approach your presentation with supreme confidence. You are demonstrating THE finest example of these kits that I’ve personally seen on youtube (and believe me as a kit builder I’ve watched a lot) The piece you are sharing is in “frozen in time” museum level quality. It’s Boeing or Smithsonian quality
I served in the Army and the Marines but I am convinced that the military does not always use common sense. They should get advice from world class survivalists. A yellow pack strap so the enemy can better zero in on you from a distance.😂
@@a_jim_so_dashing7664 lots of ads popped up, dude. You would take your time and boom, an ad. Back to you being slow and an ad, repeat repeat. I'm not being mean but you're slowness and the ads were just too much for me.
@@a_jim_so_dashing7664 it's a pity because I really wanted to see what all was in there. I mean mosquito net hat in a cold weather kit was sorta bizarre
@@dirtyscoundrel2013 Yeah, I don't blame you. I got a lot of criticism about being too slow. I think it's all justified. I should have planned better and spoke faster. Knowing there were ads really kills me because I obviously don't have a good channel that I'm trying to monetize or anything. Just thought some people might like to see the kit. Seems like I frustrated more people than I helped. Its a bummer.
@@dirtyscoundrel2013 Could be a silly idea but what if you shut the volume off and watch it at 2x speed? Maybe I'll redo the video in the next couple months and plan it out better.
Funny how Americans are calling them "Israeli Bandages". Canadians call them shell dressings or field dressings and they were invented before Israel was created.
this kit is the ejection seat that top pocket held ration packs the wide strap with the hook fastens to your parachute harness looks like a few things are missing don't remember what since I didn't work with these but these kits were packet full
My two young Boy Scout sons trying to start a fire. (Frustration comes before breakthrough ! ) They'd still appreciate this method. We taught diff ways to start a fire incl'g "Carry a lighter."
I very much enjoyed your review of this Cold Climate Kit. Seeing the contents of the survival rations can, and the fishing kit was particularly interesting.
That is THE BEST wire saw made. It is not cheap.It will cut the ceramic tiles of the space shuttle, jewelers use them, and Chuck Yeager cut the metal ring of his pressure suit while being burned severely after a crash. Do your homework before making stupid comments. They are available for 25 dollars and are worth it.
Doohickey, an American survival term? I just read about Scott of the Antarctic and the food they had with them. It was surprisingly similar to the food bars in your kit. Theirs was nuts and raisins pressed into a great wad of lard and granola. I think they all died of high blood pressure. Enjoyed your show.
