Harbor Freight Gordon Survival Kit - Full review 

I like cheap knives over expensive because I will actually use them. Expensive knives I don't want to mess up or lose

I'm 71 so I won't be doing any camping intentionally. I don't need to have the best of everything. I would want a reliable compass and would spend more to get one.I need emergency pack just as the word implies. I still go Fly Fishing alone so it's wise to take along both First Aid and Survival Kit just in case. Fire starters are also wise to spend for. A good Swiss Army knife or Multi Tool is a must and I have an great Bowie Knife I always wear when I'm out in the elements. Add a worthwhile folding saw and canteen and your pretty well set. The survival blanket also wise to have. One finial must have not often mentioned or that gets overlooked is insect repellent! Get a good one! Don't trust cheap.

Knife is probably worth $10. And everything else, less than $10. You can piece that kit out and get better quality for the same price or cheaper.

If you slide the green plastic handle off the spork there is a knife and I think a bottle opener on the other side. I didnt see this til today but now Im wanting one to keep in my Van. Not available for mail order til April 16th.

Purpose of it being tight. The clip is so you won't lose it. You got it on your belt. Hook your pants and you fall down or sit down. It's beautiful to be tight and hard to get off then to be too loose and lose it

A cheap knife is better than no knife, especially when you blow a radiator hose like I did, it really didn’t matter that it was made in China. I prefer better quality, but it did the job at the time.

the bottle holder works better to hole a canteen or a thicker flashlight ( most belt clips snap for me ) , the tool card worked wonders for me when I went camping with my family and forgot a can opener and didn't have at the time a multi tool . It came in one of those sardine can survival kits . I find it ridiculous too but it does work the '' saw '' is useless as a saw but if you use it to scrape on bark or wood it makes great tinder to use ( especially if your knife doesn't have a 90 °spine.

Video was great, survival kit so so (better dan nutten), comments were interesting....

The "spork" is also very dangerous. You didn't realize there was a knife in the handle. Imagine if you were holding it incorrectly and pulled it apart. You could slice your finger off if you didn't know there was a hidden knife in the handle.

The next in the spoon could be for a bit driver

One of my favorite things is when they put things on knives multi tools or any other thing that you wouldn’t think was for survival but then you just think about things you can do with it sure para cord and rope yeah seems like a great idea but what if you need to make a bow you can get your piece off whatever you’re gonna make it out of one wood and then for the arrows need to be made and so you make them add a little strips of wood well if you can make it down I don’t know if that one’s the right size or not but it might be able to make something like an arrow but one thing I do know for sure is if you need thicker rope you can run a thin piece of twine to them through the hole and then bend them in opposite directions going down for four strands and then I have to twist that Spork it’ll start tightening those up and you have your buddy or if you don’t have a buddy you can have your wine tied off to something to give it tension and start twisting it and pull it get it wet twist it pull it just keep doing it and then take the other two strands do the same thing then without even cutting them off there you can put them together get them wet start twisting them into a strand for a fourth strand piece of twine which everybody knows you can make great things with that to span of three strands will make a great stream for a bowl or You can take several different strands and make a great shepherd swing I don’t know it is fun though it’s kind of my Version of finding sheets in the clouds or on drywall with the right spackle but unlike just looking at something you can look at it and try it out on this one thing you have to remember in a survival situation you’ve gotta keep shark sure you can sharpen your knife you can sharpen a stick but you gotta keep your mind sharp so I don’t know for sure exactly what that used for but I know what I would try to use it for because you never know if anything is gonna work until you actually try it thank you very much sincerely Wayne O’Bryant Merced California

That "multi tool" card actually makes a better striker for the ferro rod than the actual striker that came with the rod. Just use the "knife edge" part as they call it, and it makes a great striker and throws nice sparks. Other than that, I agree, it pretty useless.

I love my little smith and Wesson knife, mine came from tractor supply but I’ve had it for a couple years now and it’s done what I wanted it to do I edc it

That hex hole on the spork is to turn gas bottles on and off

Justin watched a video from Prepared Wanderer with an Ozark Mountain survival kit... With virtually the EXACT same gear in it(plus/minus 1 or 2 cheap worthless pieces)...in a Molle ifak type pouch for 35 bucks... Nothing worth it!!! Build your own

Hex in the spoon could be used as a bit driver

Great job brother ❤

Thank you. In your personal pack. What do you carry? Appreciate any feed back. I'm old and don't run around that much anymore. Sometime I forget to pack my memory, but that what happens as one ages. Thanks.

Always put a little dab of silicone lube on the threads of those little flashlights. Aluminum threads gauld up on those things.

Wire saws have all the problems you mention, and they usually fail because they're used at too acute of an angle. But if you can cut one sausage-sized green stick long enough to fit the wire into -- viola, you've got a bow saw!

My 2 cents. You buy stuff like this to be used when you think the task will ruin a good tool. These types of pre packaged kits are generally sub standard quality, and you don't want your life to depend on them. Some things demand good quality, and you're worth it.

Open the flashlight on the other end

Linear lock safety.

Spork has a knife and can opener in handle.

Just encountered your video here and I wanted to mention something you might like- it is not cheap but Amazon has a true survival blanket / tarp with heavy foil on one side and heavy vinyl on the other- made by a great company called Arcturus. Give it a look. Say hi to your dogs for me.

That para cord bracelet does you a lot of good if you’re not wearing it

I would've bought it for that spork and knife alone.

Better than Ozark trail survi al kit.

Does it all fit in the box? If you could show how you pack it that would be great

Liner lock.

it doesnt point true north... not supposed to, they point to magnetic north.

The knife will cut a seat belt easier than para-chord.

Cool little kit, what's the cost if you don't mind me asking?

He should pick out a better still photo. He looks like that guy on full metal jacket when he goes crazy.

If you know how to use the cable software correctly because they are meant to be used as a bow saw they will last longer and work better

How much wS the kit?

great video - just found your channel - I agree with you on those stupid survival credit card tools - absolute garbage. Subscribed...

Running from a bear

liner lock

I saw it today. $29. The pen and knife are only worth to me

The bello is one of the most dangerous tools in this kit. Just like you breathed in something when you tried to blow . . . imagine that the other end was in the fire and you accidentally inhaled. INSTANT lung damage . . . your survival effort would be over almost immediately. NEVER NEVER NEVER use one of these things!

How much $$$?

Break car window just above door lock.

These "kits" are for "City People"!

This guy doesn't seem to know that much about equipment/tools or survival in general. Maybe he's new to the scene. Regardless, I do wish him luck and knowledge.

Emergency space blanket.. "you dont have a survival kit if... you dont have a camping kit if... if your doing anything outdoors..." well Mr Novelties, Ive spent my life in the woods, teach multilevel survival skills, and as much as i understand the benefit of reflecting heat, i have yet to carry or use one of those in the real world..

Ha …Ha….Haaaa……good luck with this……carry a Leatherman ….and a decent folding knife……..

Waste of money.

The lock on the knife I believe is called a 'liner lock'
