I enjoy the homemade kits people assemble to sell, to see different perspectives on what it takes to get thru a few hours or an overnight in an emergency situation. Nice braided/fused fishline, strong stuff and multi-use. I've tried the survival cards a couple times, sharpened the knife edge etc. but ended up just liking the saw edge for scraping cedar bark into tinder. That space in a pocket tin might be better occupied by a water bag, signal mirror, Fresnel lens, or repair tape. To this kit I'd add a ferro rod, safety pins, sail needle, and if it will fit, a jigsaw blade and one of the tiny keychain flashlights. Thanks WS!
Another great video and kit, thanks for using cm on the blade length. See if you can find Les Strouds survival kit and give that a review. It’s probably 10-15 years since he produced it, but would be cool to see
@@whitetailsurvival2430 of what I have seen it’s a real basic kit with room for us to ad thing we might need for our environment, but would be cool to see anyway, and maybe get your opinion to what you would add to it for your environment
Another nice video, Brent! It's hard to really make a decent kit when you go so small.scale, but these are pretty danged close! Every time I see a good one like you show, I pull out a tin and start building one. These are fun!
I nearly laughed out loud when you opened the kit to reveal that yellow Ridge Runner pocket knife. I have literally dozens of them and they’re actually amazing little knives, especially for the price, but I still wasn’t expecting to see one in there 😂
That’s the first one I seen in a mini kit like this. I didn’t think it felt to bad for one of them spyderco style knock off knives! Thanks for the laugh and comment I appreciate it
I have scanned over your videos and I haven't found it but I was wondering if you have put a kit together yourself? Id like to see you do a serious kit and by that I mean cover all the necessities like a cheap shower curtain for a shelter and a decent saw or blade to help process wood and fish if you can catch one. I think with your history of reviewing these survival kits you could really do a bang up job on one yourself. These are cool and all but when I started looking over prebuilt kits I just decided to build my own years ago. Don't get me wrong I'm going to keep watching you review these kits because like I said they are cool but man I think you could do a much better job with your own.
I actually have 5 last ditch kits I built I’ve been using one for 3 years or so now and it’s been holding up great. It goes in the woods with me all the time. I’m going to sell the last 4 I’m still tweaking and and what not but it’s a pretty substantial kit. It basically covers every aspect that all of these kits have in them plus more. It’s more of a belt kit than a pocket kit though! I’m going to go over more of my own kits I mad later on after these pre made ones are all done.
I’d add a light source (probably a keychain light), maybe a bit of snare wire, a small flint and striker, a safety whistle, a survival card, and a folded up bag for water catchment, but I’m not sure the latter three or four items would fit in it. I’d also add a couple sinkers and maybe a couple floats to the fishing kit and I’d have stuck the striker pad on a slightly sturdy flat backing and compartmentalized it with the matches bag. I might also fill out the first-aid items a bit if there’s room with a couple burn creams, one slightly larger bandage pad, and a couple anti-inflammatory/analgesic and anti-diarrheal pills. Might have to add a couple rubber bands or Ranger Bands to keep it closed if I tried to fit all or most of it in though lol.
It would be alittle tight but if your Good enough at organization of these tins then I feel like you can get a good bit of that stuff in there. I packed the kit back up in one try with room left so there’s room for a few more things! Thanks for the comment again! Thanks for being so reliable also!
It is a basic kit. Price well for what you get. I would choose an alternate kit becauce i dont see the need to limit yourself to a candy tin. Another great presentation
@whitetailsurvival2430 I am amazed by a lot of the kits I see here and elsewhere, but without a good knife and knowledge the kit is just a box of mystery. I can only assume you try out these kits, and have learned there are items that just don't work, and might get you dead. A fully decked out altoids tin and perfect health will not get you found, and you should be good 2 to 5 days without even touching it. Keep up the good work, and feel free to chat about this stuff. I enjoy survival kit debate.
@@TheRealJackOfTrades absolutely the tins are definitely a helping hand though. I could put a liter bag 10 purification tablets in there plus a mini bic lighter plus my knife and I will be far better off than you with just a knife! Three days without water and you’re in pretty deep trouble. Some of these things in these kits make life more convenient if I’m lost at night it’s going to be a lot more difficult to cut a tree and stack pine bowels on there for a few hours than what it is to make a rough shelter out of a space blanket.
@whitetailsurvival2430 in addition to the space blanket a poly vinyl drop cloth takes up even less space and with the mylar you have the makings of a super shelter. Get those wazoo high temp liter bags. You can boil water in the bags over a fire.
