@@davidfromearth1102 Imagine how hard it was for me when I learned English as a second language and being confused due to English speakers not only using bad grammar and spelling, but having others make excuses and defend the bad habit. Seems only English speakers take offense to having spelling and grammar corrected. Shame more don't take pride in their native language and practice good habits.
The camp supplies definitely seem worthwhile, I only wonder about resupplying, if you're able to buy individual containers or have to buy everything again
I think they resupply but you're probably better off just buying another. you would probably have to buy each of the little packets individually and it may get expensive. if they are cheap, it's worth it!
Thanks for your comment! Resupplying can definitely be a concern when it comes to survival tools. You may want to check out HOTO tools - they have a wide range of high-quality home tools that are not only sleek and modern but also reasonably priced. You can find more information about HOTO at "hototools.com/". Stay prepared!
I carry a small cordless impact driver/screw gun with extension and appropriate socket, in my truck because it beats the hell out of a spanner or tire iron.
The video title should be something like: "Ten gimmicky gadgets our company sells that will probably get you killed when your life depends on them." There - fixed it. I have to add this - 14:20 When they have to tell you situations in which you can use the product, then it is not worth buying. Example: You can use it when eating, drinking, swallowing, brushing teeth, flossing, gargling, playing video games, watching TV, talking to a friend, texting, . . . When they fell they need to do that to sell their product, then I'd recommend staying away from it. SMH And yes, I watched the entire video because I felt a need for a good laugh today.
I'm still not sure what that SIS thing is. It's a blank bullet thingy. It's a flare launcher. It has something to do with a trip wire. And a lot of more abstract notions. Huh?
You hook it up to a trip wire. When someone (or presumably large enough animal) enters your camp it’ll pull that pin and make a loud bang, scaring the intruder. It’s common to use a .410 shotgun shell primer or .22 blank to make the noise.
One of the most important things about a survival kit is that it is not so heavy that you won't want to lug it around with you. I certainly wouldn't want to carry all this stuff every time I went hiking, hunting, fishing, etc.
No, no we don't need them except the trip alarm system maybe if you're in a warzone. Traditional tools are already heavy enough, I don't want to add more weight.
@@Eidolon1andOnly The shears are only truly useful if you're a sniper, to cut branches without shaking the trees for example. Snipers actually carry a shear for such purposes. Still, a simple knife and a small saw would solve all your cutting needs. I used to think an axe is needed but unless you're chopping down trees to build a house, you don't need it. A saw can do pretty much everything (Silky Saw Tomboy).
@@MrDosonhai The shears seemed like they were designed specifically for EMTs or first responders since they're shown specifically performing first aid and medical tasks. I doubt they'd be good for cutting wood. I agree that a good saw is important to have, especially a Silky. Hatchets are incredibly versatile, but a bit heavy to carry. Saw can complete most tasks a hatchet would normally do. The plasma lighter is good for being windproof and single hand ignition, but it wouldn't be the only the firestarter I'd rely on or carry. As soon as it runs out of battery power it's useless in a survival situation. Even a disposable cigarette lighter can still throw sparks and start a fire, even when it's run out of fuel.
I think it's a great idea but how does it work out in field and is this necessary or just tacticool. I also see more stuff that could potentially break when you need it the most kind of seems like stuff you would use for glamping.
I found a replacement for much of this that only costs a buck or two. It is called a bic lighter. Works wet or dry for months and then another buck or two. The company should put them in leather holsters with a bottle opener and a toothpick and charge fifty bucks each.
Good call. We should also remember “what do you do long after the big-lighter’s fuel runs out?” You keep flicking-your-Bic because it will still produce sparks with which to start your tinder.
@@yourgodsisspeakingtoyouher4284 my Bic lighter will like far more fires than that little magnesium rod. It will also light fires when it is damp where the magnesium rod will do nothing. They are play toy admit it and move on.
I don't think most real survivalists would use these. These are expensive gift items for men that will then have to pretend to like them, and then leave it in a drawer after trying to use it once or twice.
ya the first one.....No one in their right mind would used a fire stove and a lith ion battery together. i mean come on lith ion thats an explosive mishap waiting to happen.
@@asmith7876 with my luck i would be the only one that would have a problem with it. i would like it more if it was a tiny bit bigger with a tiny bit more safety around the battery. yes i am paranoid but can never be to safe. but i will keep an eye on the company cuz it looks like a good item just dont trust the close prox of lith ion near a flame/heat source.
I am missing a survial-kit to connect my playstation 😂 Nearly everything there is useless and just extra weight to carry with you.if you wanna go for a survival-trip then stay at the needed basics.otherwise you lose the fun of being outdoors
I just exclude the electrics; And also, If You can not survive with the grandpa of this tools, You may not survive at all. Survive = calamity = no ușe for electronics other then maybe a classic radio, with real batteries
The wank word is strong with this video half the stuff is a waste of money the scissors and splint being an exception. the vssl camp supplies at $150+ is so-so and only for the aluminium container and the S.O.L. Phoenix Survival Tool is $40 for a Ferrocerium rod and striker and cheap touch. As far as the fire stick you can make your own with cotton wool, petroleum Jelly and some people you a little of the oil used in those outdoor torches. As far as Pure Flame mini it's a $150 are you going to be outdoors enough to justify the price or can you get away with a couple of cheap power banks and a waterproof container.
That Fast Fire Stick seems like nothing more than cotton wool soaked in candle wax. The plasma lighter and the splint are the only truly useful piece of kit. The shears aren't bad either, but not really necessary.
@@Eidolon1andOnly I know someone who used a plasma lighter and he said they are a pig to use as you have such a small lighting area and you can't hold them under a pile of tinder to light anything he went back to waterproof matches and brought a pack of I think they are called tornado matches they are like super thick matches but once lit don't go out even in water and that for filled his needs. I happen to know an ex SAS medic turned Ambulance attendant and he has a pair of the shears and that's good enough for me. There are a bucket load of home made firelighters from cotton wool and Vaseline, to thin wood sticks soaked in tiki touch oil and dipped in paraffin wax my favourite is orange peel dried in the oven at a low heat which makes the house smell nice or in the sun they will make a fire lighter.
@@alankohn6709 I know of all the cheap DIY firestarters. I like the plasma lighter for simply being windproof and able to ignite with one hand. Definitely wouldn't be my primary fire starting method though, but would make for a decent backup to compliment everything else I'd carry for firestarting.
@@alankohn6709 I carry a Clipper lighter, a Zippo, book of waterproofed matches, storm matches (what you called tornado matches), a few strike anywhere matches (also waterproofed) a fresnel lens, and a ferro rod for starting fires. I also wear prescription glasses which can start a fire if needed. Biggest drawback to the plasma lighter is it's useless as soon as the battery runs out. At least the Clipper and the Zippo can still throw sparks and start a fire after they run out of fuel. I also use cotton makeup pads or cotton wool soaked with candle wax or petroleum jelly for fire starting, but I prefer the candle wax more since they don't leave any residue on my fingers like petroleum jelly will.
If someone can only survive with these kinds of toys, then that guy is already dead anyway, because he will NOT survive with these fancy fancy toys either, because a situation will occur soon anyway where he will not have the special necessary high-tech stuff, and then he will die. What you must pack in your BOB, because it is the most useful survival stuff, is KNOWLEDGE, and the BOB in which you must pack this is your own head! Furthermore, according to my experience, the tools that can be used for multiple purposes cannot perform a single task perfectly. None of them! That being said, I also have maybe three or four multitools, but I bought them just for curiosity, for fun, and I DON'T CONSIDER THEM AS SURVIVAL TOOLS! They're just some kind of fancy "playing toys". They're good for, say, having something like this in my pocket if I suddenly want to peel an apple or cut off a broken nail, okay. But for a SURVIVAL TOOL?! Ridiculous! A serious situation requires a serious tool. Something that can only do ONE function, but that PERFECTLY, and is robust, durable, and most importantly: you don't need to CHARGE it through a USB port or anything, because it works forever anyway! (Or if not forever but at least years long, for example a big ferrorod). And I don't need a special firestarter stick or anything like that, rather I learned how to start a fire without it, from naturally occurring materials.
Why would someone spend hundreds for this trash? These things make survival magnitudes more difficult and complicated, so it would be better to use the traditional tools, like a multi-tool, knife, hatchet, and a fire rod. The rest isn't even for survival. I wouldn't use these things, even if they were given to me.
@Eidolon1andonly; it must be nice to be a know it all like you and have a bitchy comment about almost everything in the video and peoples spelling and grammar. Get a fkn life buddy. .
I have often wondered why humans have this very strong, innate will to survive. It all seems rather pointless because nobody gets out of this thing called life alive. Oh well, just another one of life's many Mysteries.
I'm sorry but the voice on this video should be someone else. English accent and very low tone with loud music makes it difficult to understand. Us a louder American English speaking voice. GET rid of the music
🤣🤣🤣I live for 30 years in the mountains,and I have none of the "indispensable" survival tools. You are supposed to survive in wilderness for a while...right? It's adaptability and resiliance what you need,nothing else. This trend of " survivalists " with expensive tools and groceries is pure mockery. More...most of them are...useless.
Granted, the proper skill sets, and lots of experience in adverse conditions, is the best “survival kit” you can every have. Toys are for when you have to bribe Bigfoot. It has been my experience that a good medium fixed blade knife is the bare minimum ( sharp rock edges use too many calories for me to choose them over a knife. It's getting harder and harder to find a good flint or create a strong flake these days.
If you cannot survive, or even thrive, with nothing but knowledge gained from experience, the clothes on your back, and a quality medium (5-6 inch blade) fixed blade “sheath knife”, all the metro-man outdoor-wannabe toys, like your body and emotional stability will never last a day, or two, of hard use.
Wow, with all the stuff in the news and everywhere you look, they market a hammer gadget that's apparently just for men.. I guess women don't need to carry something like that because, well.. umm.. Oh yeah, there's always a man around that has one handy. I'd say I'm one of those men but, I can't honestly see why those tools in that list can't be for women as well. As for those that identify as rainbow flag wavers, I have no idea what kind of tools they would carry nor would I be able to even guess at which part of a two person couple would be carrying the manly stuff..
Unbelievable how many crap gets Sold as must have for survival or outdoor. The only two usefull things in these video are the Rap or shear and Split. The rest i wouldn't relax on even at Camping.
