Minimal Solo Overnighter With A Pocket Survival Kit 

Outstanding use of your kit items to make a cutting / chopping tool and put it to use immediate. Cool fire starter too.

Is the cutting tool carbon steel? Could it be turned around to be used as a flint striker?

Yeah I’m one of those waking up in cornfield after a kegger

A few glaring problems with this $150 kit. My tailoring ideas. 1 No reason it should be plastic when having a metal container to boil water in would be more useful. 2 A Suunto button compass is only $20 and I think it might be the third most important piece of equipment. 3 I would rather have a SAK (Huntsmen) with a saw. (keep your ulou blade and crappy wire saw) 4 A mini Bic. Some cotton balls and a small Chapstick to extend burn times. 5 A triple A flashlight and an extra battery and a low setting used sparingly should last 2 or 3 days. (The duct tape/copper wire/cord/whistle/wire saw/fishing line "you'll be dead long before you even see a fish"/signal mirror/trail markers/zip ties are a waste of time and energy) I like the Wazoo water kit and everything else. But with the other items gone you could replace that cheap emergency blanket with a heavier grade SOL blanket that is a little bit bigger and won't tear so easily. It should fit, if it doesn't I would use that ranger band to wrap it around that kit. Fair? If you are lost in the woods walk east or west. You have a better chance of finding a road. That's why you need a good compass. Do not make a shelter, do not lay flat on the ground. If you have to spend the night sit up and off the ground with the blanket wrapped around you. That's why you need a thicker blanket. Make a fire if you can. Do not walk at night with a headlight (or a flashlight strapped to your hat). Use your vision purple especially if you have a full moon. I think you should walk all night anyway as most of the time it's cooler and you will generate heat. Wear your blanket if it is colder and generate your own heat and keep moving. This should not be a problem for an average healthy adult. I could put together a better survival kit (and I' sure the rest of you can as well) for half the price of this one (space not restricted) by adding a Mora knife and Frontier water filter as well and it would still be well under $150. I can and have covered about 10-15 miles in the woods (and I'm 66) walking all night dependent on terrain. But I'm 11B10 and your milage may very. That's not to brag but to say to you that this should be your mindset if you are going to walk out of this situation. After 3 days and covering a minimum of 50 miles total east or west you will be tired but should have found some form of water. You have been told you need a lot of water but you don't. And you don't need to eat. Most of you are fat and can live off of that for weeks. On the third day find a clearing in the woods and build a fire. A big one. With lots of leaves if you got them. If you are in snow your water situation is solved. That's why you have a metal container instead of plastic? Arrange a giant X with trees or shrubs in the clearing and start a bon fire at dusk and keep feeding it all night. That's what I would do.

I guess the value is in the compactness of it

See you Jason .Chris .some other guys .just keeping it damn real any one else they would have gear packed to the WHAZOO LOL but great video brother

this guy could not survive a weekend at disney's wilderness resort

Think I'm getting out this year.

Really good video, Jake! I'm a big fan of Wazoo and micro kits for the reasons you mentioned. It really is a matter of what people are willing to carry and most won't take much more than a bottle of water. I carry a lot of stuff in my cache cap, belt & key chain. I really like how that kit includes a knife & you did a great job of showing how to improvise an axe. LOL! I love you reaction to everyone's thoughts on the mylar blanket. Nice improv shelter without doing the typical ridgeline thing. I think the outdoors world could use more videos like this.

Well you cant fold it back up. Well no shit laughed a little to hard at that

Hey mate. I liked this video, particularly the use of the tools to make an improvised axe and bow saw and the minimal cordage shelter. I was really surprised to see you didn’t make a browse bed. I assume the environment and weather didn’t require one, although the added comfort would have aided a better nights sleep. It would be great to see more videos like this, or even other shelter types that could be made with the kit. Thanks for the video

150$ is crazy for stuff youd have around the house that you can put together yourself

I may or may not have passed out in a cornfield at a kegger. Good stuff. Thanks.

seems like a bestglide scout kit with a better knife to be honest which if you bought the ulu from that brand at 50 youd still have for about $95

Wazoo makes awesome stuff the the ulu Jason designed is great

Not a bad kit, wazoo has some good gear. The plastic container is a big fail should have used a metal container. Like the knife that comes with the kit.

150 bucks!?! Yikes.

Really cool vid, thank you

I think it’s a perfect kit for an unexpected overnight.

Thank you for your videos.

That kit is a great addition to anyones hiking, fishing or hunting bag. Its name says it all Ohh 💩 i screwed up. Lol That water from the spring looked so good. Iykyk

I absolutely love the realistic approach of this video. Awesome job my bro!

Bro, I never knew you had jokes.😂

I like the toggle on the bow saw. Brilliant!

Great content as always

I never go out in the bush without 3 knifes, one of them being a belt knife. For a short hike or walk usually have a haversack, small fire kit that includes lighter, stormproof matches petroleum cotton balls, SOL blanket, headlamp. Also have canteen/water bottle, compass. I don’t think anyone should even go out in the woods without these items at a minimum

You hit the nail on the head. It is a survival kit, not a camping kit. Great video! Lots of comments about the tin not being metal. A small tin is pretty much useless for boiling water. You will lose more hydration than you gain in the attempt. Thanks so much for showing it off!

Awesome

Glad to see the green leaves coming our way. Thought about camping tonight but it's below freezing so maybe next weekend will be better for my dog.

Built my own....where's the kegger ?...lol Cornfield gonna look like my oven full of "baked" potatoes..with all the ppl wrapped in survival blankets Great video !!

Whoa whoa whoa, dial back the personal attack. I have only woken up like that 7 or 8 ish times. It was for science. 😅

8:10 dude i told u not to call me out😂

Awesome Video 📹 cool looking kit. Great tips !! Out in the Bush.

thanks for always having great content, thanks for all you do for the community

So one question i have always had what other items could you substitute for flint for fire starting i heard that those ceramic strikers work

Enjoyed that, thanks!

Thanks for showing off this kit. It's not for me, but I enjoyed it. I will say I was really impressed with that knife but would want one about 2 inches bigger for my needs. I dont go hiking, I go for at least one night, never a day thing. If I'm in the woods for just the day, it's hunting, and I have oober supplies & gear with me. I do see the purpose behind these kits and will say out of the ones I've watched videos on. This is one of the best. It's just too pricey for me.

Great video buddy

No metal container? Wont even consider it. Go back through On Threes videos.(it might be on Survival Dispatch) Find the no tools challenge. At the end of the challenge the participants are adked what ONE item they could have. Even Jason said a Metal Container! To not include one is kinda a slap in the face.

Gosh, I dont go anywhere without my haversack. Id be staying at the Hilton. But yes, I do see the point. Good Video.

Just received my Oh Sh!t kit today. IMO, one of the best pocket kits out there! Money well spent!

Nice little kit.

Good stuff Jake

Comment.

Not trying to be a hater, really, but the thumbnail says overnight with a pocket survival kit, but then you bring out a small backpack...I get the camera equipment, but water, food and a bandanna? Kind of deceptive.

I feel like for $150 it should have come in a metal container. That way you have a good device to boil water or make char cloth ect.

$150 for $25 worth of items, crazy

Green screen

I think this kit is targeted more towards the types of people who think guns aren't needed in the woods and trails because wild animals HAVE NEVER BOTHERED THEM PERSONALLY lol or the types that just Know they will never get lost after all they are walking on a trail . The types that buy gear that haven't or ever will tested out but packed in day pack.

Try adding a water bladder to that bag and use the extra for electrolytes. I typically bring 2-3 liters on hikes. That's a reasonable added resource for the lost hiker scenario.

Why is it with all this bushcraft out on a day hike and get lost or injured videos no one ever mentions a personal locator beacon or even that a lot of mobile phones can get an emergency message out and some of the other devices out there all priced not much more or less than some of these emergency kits and gear that's promoted for a stuck out in bush overnighter. If really is an emergency one of those will get you rescued. I don' t mean it to be critical and get the point of the video is an advertisement for this kit. but just find it odd that nobody seems to even mention these devices. Are they not a reliable option in the USA. In Australia these items are talked about and its law for all boats to carry them and highly encouraged when hiking or going driving in remote aeras or bush to have one or a what we call a flying doctor's radio or satnav phone at least. Maybe could be room for one these companies to sponsor your channel or school as further survival tool option.

Good stuff man. Pretty good survival kit!

Use the landscape to your advantage. Well said sir

I enjoyed the video i like how you utilized the kit and the tools but the price is way to steep

Hope your not a litter bug.

I can build one better for alot cheaper

U around Cleveland bro?

In all honesty. I could think of a lot better kit I could build myself for less than $100. This kit costs $150? Only someone who lacks imagination would spend that on this kit!

$150 for that!! Smh

this is useless you are in your backlot by the sound of the traffic 5 -10 min walk from the road perfectly idiotic block reported as spam

I like the cutting tool and love that fire starter card. If I was to use this kit for an unexpected night in the woods I would just cover up with that space blanket instead of burning calories building the poles.

I don’t even seet his on the wazoo website

You used the saw wrong.

Hands down the Perfect pocket kit but Black Scout survival kit is amazing to and there's a company called Hard Case survival makes the best pocket survival kits ever
