Survival Kit for $100? 

First time to your channel - sent here by Corporal Kelly from Corporal’s Corner. Glad to be here

Ya know I get the whole made in America thing but stuff like this simply opens the door and lowers the bar of entry to an amazing arena of knowledge and experience

There are a few things I have learned to splurg on when it comes to gear - footwear (boots & socks), saws, and a compass. I will be really curious to see how the saw & compass hold up once you start using them. Based on experience, I do not think a mylar blanket will hold up to being any kind of mattress. Once ripped or torn, the plastic just shreds itself to nothing. But, if you have a method to make it work, I'll be really interested to see it in action.

The ferro rod has lanyard holes on both ends , for swapping ends. When you belly it out one way. You can swap it around.

This is a great start up kit. Cost is amazing value would be good to road test some of this. Opens the door for many more people who can’t justify paying top dollar for the brand stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Good items Paul, thanks for sharing, God bless !

I'd love to see you put this kit to the test :)

Paul well done on this video! Temu has been good for me.

Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this informative video. You did a great job. You're set for just about any emergency. Stay safe out there. 🤗

Really enjoyed ur down to earth presentation and approach. Just subscribed. Good luck with your classes.

I haven't used Temu. Look forward to the road test results. Thanks Paul.

I am now a subscriber. Nice work, man!

I got 2 of those headlamps. They are awesome for the money. Plenty of light and stay charged for a good amount of time.

You gonna do an overnight with this kit?

I bought a few backpack belt packs just to see how they do for some quick access pouches. They seem alright so far. I also bought an IFAK PACK, I also ordered an IFAK pack from Amazon and really impressed with both. Seem to be built pretty well. I also swear they are from the same manufacturer even coming from to different places

2 things that i would upgrade, genuine victorinox feildmaster. 2 really good poncho.

Thank you for your work to gather the supplies. I will be looking forward to viewing your report on the usefulness of the products, because I am constructing beginner kits for 4 GRANDkids and others. Good video & to the point. I am curious as to whether your Para cord does have 7 strands inside- I have found some at WallyWorld with an outer sheath with just a fluffy core! I am also interested in the SAK knockoffs as to the knife and saw blades and whether the body of the knife will hold up to a little use as for cutting notches in small branches for constructing L 7 trap triggers- Of course the same goes for the full tang Sheath knife and folding saw. Light work for three days is useful but Your Testing while Teaching will give You and then YOUR VIEWERS SOME VERY USEFUL DATA! Be careful as SURVIVAL WHILE DRIVING IS a matter for YOUR FULL ATTENTION ! Looking forward to your experiences as you try out these tools for us!

Great video guy loved it. I would keep that bright colored lanyard on there just in case you dropped it and was trying to find it.

I've bought a decent amount of survival gear from Temu, looking forward to trying them out at some point.

Magnifying lense. Dollar 25 store has plastic Fresnel lenses. Cut to size use char cloth or punk wood and you have an ember. It works.

Saw a couple comments suggesting a bic lighter and some gloves (leather is better), I was thinking these as well. Just clip the gloves to the outside of the bag and the bic can fit literally anywhere. If this is for an emergency situation tho, I would want a "booboo kit" at minimum. (bandaids, motrin, antiseptic cream, butterflies, nail clippers are super helpful, large needle for repairs using para cord guts (wrap cardboard around it and duct tape). Wrap the bic with duct tape. You mentioned taping the emergency blankets together, but had no tape. I love the plastic bottle with the pouch, may pick up one of those! Overall good vid! Curious how the stuff holds up!

Always get two ferro rods. One to pack and one to test. Once you scrape one, it begins to oxidize. Especially if you put it away. It seems like if it gets carried which means getting touched, it won't corrode so much.

Great video Paul! I’ve been doing a few reviews on Temu products and I have to say I’m surprised by the quality vs cost of the items!

Thank you for this info...where are the Temu item links?

I would be interested in hearing your results after using the equipment, including your opinion on whether it would actually be durable enough in a 72 hour situation.

Love the channel just found it like the vids you should do a survival challenge with that kit would love to see u survive 72 hours on that kit see how that gear holds up

I’ve bought several things from Temu, So far the quality has been exceptional for the price. Most I wouldn’t hesitate to depend upon for 72 hour bag or maybe even a couple of months (not really hard use) but for the price it definitely beats not having the items.And yes I hate supporting China (not all the items come from there) but if they got what I need in order to fight against them so be it !

Great prices, but is it worth it when the site mines your phone / computer data?

Have you opened the poncho? Is it full size and does it seem like it would hold up? Does it have grommets to use as a shelter?

I love that knife I almost bought it on Amazon

Very nice kit, you may want to incorporate a pair of sturdy gloves since you’re using sharp tools, for the novice or inexperienced. In a a true survival situation. 👍🏻

Chapters would be great!

May I request a link to the Cup and Water Bottle? Love the compact design of that nesting cup. Great vid and this gear was soooo affordable. Looking to kit out something for my 8 year old to carry while hiking. This is great, as I wouldn't be to worried about him damaging or losing this stuff at the price range.

Carrying sleeve could be used to carry different things also

NICE, Thanks for this - Most informative! A mate of mine has started using Temu and I will be sending him this video. One question; Do you have any info on the type of steel used for the knife? Cheers

Nice video. I like your approach to showing people things. You earned a sub from me.

The saw on your knock off Swiss Army knife that you don't think is worth a darn is most likely a fish scaler and hook removal tool.

GREAT SCORE MATE.

Link for the cup pls ?

Is that a real SAK or a nock off? I ask because the saws on the real ones have worked very well for me.

Dammit, what state do you live in? Looks beautiful!

Shoulda got the bag from Temu as well. Pretty good kit. I think a $200 kit woulda gave you more options and some better gear.

Link for the knife?

I wanna see how that "D2" knife holds up

Wash ya shemogs so that any coloura an chenicals from manufacturing come out.

Now test the items, can you survive with them, really work in a real situation?

I don't mind d2 on a pocket knife, but it isn't good for a fixed blade. Especially if you're planning on using it as a survival knife. D2 chips really easy and isn't good for hard use. You're much better off going with 1095. Rather than D2.

Add a bic lighter. In an emergency you need a sure flame. Pack of 3 4 dollars

A left hand lanyard hole and a right hand lanyard hole on the ferro rod. Ambidextrous

They're website was a tragedy. How many hours were you on it to find the gear you bought?

You should ditch one of those bulky rags and include an emergency fishing kit.line and hooks at least.maybe some bandaids.headache medicine.a mini pen light.bic lighter wrapped in duct tape.just a few ideas.ypu forgot alot of basics for 72 hour timeframe.

Did you forgot the emergency first aid kit?

He was shoppin like a millionaire!!

Really enjoyed your video and gave you a thumbs up.....please clean up the language. Going to subscribe to your channel as I really enjoyed most of your content. Hope to stay a subscriber for many more of your videos. Thanks!

no first aid? Even a boo-boo kind of kit? Or just not worth getting from Temu?

Is TEMU a Chinese company? I am trying to buy USA only.

Temu gives all of your data to the ccp, fair warning.

Props to you for having a kit youre now more prepared than about 90% of the population. Now Im going to speak from my own opinion keep in mind I have a lot of knowledge and not alot of personal experience. But here is my opinion. You paid too much for that kit. Your most expensive item should have been your knife. this was meant to be a 72 hours survival kit and some of the items just don't make a lot of sense. Please take this opinion with a grain of salt. A Bic lighter is a quick inexpensive fire starter you don't have one in the kit but you went the extra mile to get not one but two methods of Solar ignition. The 2 liter jug and when your Metal one for boiling water is only a one liter. Yes its water storage but its also weight the body needs 1 liter a day. If you're going to carry that weight just add some water to your kit and use a smaller canteen. You mention about those tent stakes and said you had extra just in case you need to use them as tinder and that brings me back to fire, you don't have any tinder why not add a couple pinches of Dryer lint to the kit in a zip lock bag or some cotton balls with vaseline? Set yourself up for success zero effort fire why use a striker that's an emergency have no fire items tool ?? Its Survival not camping , Survive. Get a commercial tinder even. Don't rely on the mylars for a browse bag just add a simple 3 ply Trash bag to your kit. Cordage is worth its weight in a situation But I would move away from paracord especially if its the cheap kind and not actual Military 550 and go for maybe actual 550 or bank line. That saw looks like a UST Saw. I have their Survival Tarp its got loop holes and reflective interior so no need to use mylar sheets and its bright orange but everything else UST is pretty poor in quality better than OzarkTrail gear but still Go with a Bahco Laplander instead. You could have gotten alot better items for the money you spent in my opinion my Tarp was only 15$ and has the Mylar aluminum built into it its UST but Ive used it its quality for the money. Mora knife is more trusted for camping and is around 10 or more theyve gone up some but you can still find them. Its a bigger kit but its lower quality and most of the items wouldn't really do you much good for a 72 hour kit. You should try to condense the kit down as its not practical its quite bulky and you would be less likely to carry it. Most of these items can fit into a smaller more practical kit. You dont have anything in there for fishing either but why not add an energy inexpensive ready to go Power bar and a fishing kit? Ueasy Lensatic Compass is like 25$ and the'yre used by hikers not sure what you have there but with compasses 2 is one and one is none Cross reference it before you trust your life to it. I noticed also there's not first aid its not a must but its meant to help you survive why not include that. Lastly. Its a bit concerning youre teaching classes while building kits this way. Don't take that as an insult but if you're teaching you should have been past choosing items such as this by now and setting an example of its your Life on the line Dont buy the cheapest rope to trust your life to. I mean yeah they're items to show if you happen to have this or something like it sure but choosing this kit as an actual Survival kit and not a camping gear kit is concerning. You should have alot more experience with these items to have known about their inclusion in your kit for you to be teaching this. Please dont take that the wrong way but the things you teach are someone else's actual Survival Kit try to remember that. They'll look back at YOUR Training and instruction and gear you used and base life changing decisions on it so my advice is know what you're doing and about the gear extensively before trying to teach anyone as an Instructor.

get camp knife with fork and spoon off emu lol

Why not add a Bic lighter? I carry one everywhere on everything wrapped in a couple of feet of duck tape

Not bad. Hopefully, you'll never need outside of the classroom.

Survival expert want to be .

Really? Everything inside the bag is ok to be bought off of temu, but you for some reason draw the line with the questionable quality of the bags… dude that’s funny… I’ve bought bags and pouches on there that are almost identical to offerings from vanquest and condor except a third of the price. So far, I’ve had no issues with them. There is a 3 piece emergency tent/bivy/poncho kit for $12 that’s in my opinion made of a material a little heftier than the Mylar blankets, to me feels more like a thick trash can liner with a Mylar side.

Cost not costed not in the tense you're using.

Keep giving that money to China

My one experience with temu, cheap junk.

u lost me on the tent pegs waist of space

Why do you guys continue to buy from Chines companies? I would not recommend dealing with them. Temu is a big Chinese company selling very cheap items. They have a ridiculously big marketing budget and they are making a huge loss on every sale but by doing this they hope to force out the competition and the way it's going they will. They won't be able to sustain the cheap prices forever but hope that they will gain the market share with their cheap price strategy. By shopping with them it will force many smaller businesses out of the market and out of business, which will have an adverse effect on the economy of your country. Support your local businesses and stop buying into this cheap price strategy.

If I teach you artificial way to meditate, will you learn it.

No aquea tabs?

That's all perfect for an obvious rookie like you, but for experienced veterans like myself..when I put my life in the hands of my gear, you can bet your candy-ass I ALWAYS BUY TOP OF THE LINE, MADE IN THE U.S.A.!! And I would NEVER BY FROM THESE CHINESE SHAM CORPOORATIONS LIKE "TEEMU"!!😮😅😅😅..but good for you bruh!!😉👍 don't get killed out there!!
