My Vehicle Emergency Kit. 

Great kit. I would add a second canteen cup and lid to the canteen kit. It's far more than worth the bit of extra weight. I know from experience that having one cup full of food, and a second full of tea or coffee or hot chocolate makes life much easier and more pleasant. It also means you can move faster, and this can be important I carry the Russian mess kit with a G.I. cup and stove down in it. You can't have too many containers. I would strongly suggest using 190 proof grain alcohol in your Trangia. It not only burns better than any other fuel, but it's child safe, and emits no harmful fumes of any kind, which means you can use it in an enclosed space such as a tent, or even a car, with proper safety precautions. It can also be used medicinally, and it good for treating shock. It does cost more but I think it's well worth the price. The Swiss poncho works, but it's nowhere near as versatile as a G.I. poncho. Two G.I. ponchos makes a complete shelter in a number of ways. You can snap them together to make a pup tent, or a large tarp[. You can wear one and use the other as a tarp. You can use one as a ground cloth and the second as a tarp. You can snap them together in a different way and make a wearable shelter that can get you through a survival situation should you be injured. On and on. I made it through more than eleven months in the wilderness all by myself with only a pair of G.I. ponchos for shelter. And, yes, you need a good first aid kit, and it should contain a blowout kit. You need to be able to stop intense blood flow quickly, and without a tourniquet.

That is like the bottomless pit bag. It holds a lot. Great video, all practical items

Very nice to see those I am looking that too for hiking thanks for info and share.

Nice man. Most people underestimate the importance of having supplies in your car but if the need arises you will be very glad that you have them. My various kits are evolving all the time.....

I like it! Those East German combat packs make excellent modular car bags. I keep the straps wadded up in the bottom so the bags don’t snag.

That looks well organized. Probably much easier to quickly locate what you need. Thanks for sharing knowledge.

I may have missed it, but I would suggest at least a Sawyer Filtration system w/accessories to furnish water. You obviously include shelter, but a water source plus a quick easy fire system (such as a Firebox Nano, etc.) would be an easy and relatively easy/inexpensive addition to your kit. Thanks for the super video and extensive details...great addition to my kit! Safety and Health to you and yours always!

just a tip with regard to the toilet paper, you would be better off removing the cardboard insert from the centre of the roll and open the roll so that it feeds from the centre that way you never have to take your paper out of the Ziploc bag so that it doesn't get wet in the rain or messed up.

Great video John.... :D 4:53 actually made from AMK...I think SOL is product line ... ( I think) I would take the child safety off the bic. ( easier to use) 8:17 great ... having it together means with just that alone you can do a lot with. great reusing those bungee cables :D bungee could be used as a sling ( i had to this once when i hit my shoulder on cement hard. 11:00 i actually thought of a lemon shape first lol Things that could be added or sub in for this ... choice is yours.: pry bar this may help An under rated item is an umbrella or umbrella hat.( keep the sun or rain off ) TFS... Looks great setup of gear john .... C.R.

Great video John! ...And a reminder that I myself am woefully unprepared. I need to get a kit like this together ASAP. In addition to the first aid kit, I think an inexpensive handgun or may be even an AR-7 .22 rifle that breaks down and packs small would be a good addition should one need to defend themselves or hunt for food... Just my 2 cents... Tim

good video sharewood !

i liked it - i do the same thing. i believe in being prepared, too. i need to get that SOL dbl bivey, too. do you realize that you made this preparedness video just about almost exactly one year to the month before FLA. had that massive hurricane? did you watch on tv. how many people were not prepared? i did. i watched orlando and miami news on the web and i tracked the storm / hurricane from that channel on the web from texas where i live. i hope everybody there is ok after the hurricane? thumbed it up & thank you!

For a first aid kit you should pick up some Israeli bandages and a good roll of gauze. I hate to ask, but does the Soviet VDV mess kit canteen fit in a West/East German or a standard Soviet mess kit? I was thinking that I might pick up a Polish mess kit because of the bigger lid and do some modifications. I think it would be very practical to put the inside bowl (of a German kit) into the inside of a Polish lid and put that over the pot and canteen. The Soviet VDV bottom fry pan could also go on the bottom. The only problem would be the two handles getting in the way of each other and not fitting, but that is where the "modifications" would come in. I have a strap, so I was thinking I could hold the monstrosity together with that. But that's just my theory on how to get the best mess kit.

Would that AK pouch hold a Russian vdv canteen? I've been thinking of getting one and would like a better way to carry it.

zombies ? lol
