Robert Oliver and I were talking about building a cheap Wal-Mart survival kit one night and while he was visiting we decided to take trip and make it happen for under $20. The great thing about a kit like this is for it to used it in a training scenario so you can test your skills to critically think through the problem and do as much as you can with a little amount. We later used the contents of this kit during a Basic Survival Class we taught to a group of Navy Personnel. The challenge was a group activity to make a survival camp with only the supplies given.That video will be up on the E2E Member's Area soon.

Now here's the real challenge go out and actually use that gear in the field. Happy Trails

@gonefishing3644 9 лет назад

If Wal-Mart is the only place you can go in an emergency to put together a survival kit, be sure to check out the crafts section (bundles of paracord, plastic-coated woven metal wire for beading, spools of nylon cording for crochet and assorted cotton and acrylic yarns) also check out the home decor section for votive candles, religious candles in those tall glass containers, oil lamps and plastic bottles of lamp oil).

Great Thought! I like the fact that this short, fun video has got people thinking and brought out so many ideas. Thanks for participating, and please keep watching! -Adam

@computergamer7238 10 лет назад

That plastic sheet is only 0.03" thick and would probably rip just by hanging it over a tree. Just building a lean to out of sticks would be better. Also, a stainless steel whetstone knife with a 4" blade is only $5.03 and it has a paracord handle. Get a magnesium firestarter for around $2, a canteen for around $5, a space blanket for $2, and an mre for $3. '

@cjauman4753 10 лет назад

I agree with you but using the plastic sheet could help waterproof the lean too

@barberbill63 10 лет назад

I've found old hickory brand kitchen knives at Walmart. Full tang, high carbon steel blades,wood scales. As a kid, my family used them when butchering livestock.

@bowmaster24 12 лет назад

Yall are by far the best channel Ive come across on YT. Camping and Survival Techniques have always sparked my interest. Thank yall!

@johnmonk66 12 лет назад

@TraVinhAngel 12 лет назад

Thank you for taking the time to do this video. My son is learning survival and this video gave me the idea to test his knowledge. I will send him into Wal Mart to do this exact scenario. It will give me a good idea on how much he has learned & only cost me $20.00. Good job guys.

@Equip2Endure 11 лет назад

Your Welcome, glad you enjoyed the video. Walmart in PA -Adam

All very good ideas - appreciate the input and hope you enjoyed the video -Adam.

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

My Mom is also a fan of the Wallyworld meals. She said the same thing: quick and easy - and it doesn't cut into her fishing time. LOL. I appreciate the feed back and the support. -Adam

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

Thanks for the support and great suggestion about the axe! -Adam

@MrSIXGUNZ 8 лет назад

im so glad i looked at this video !! i subscribed :-)

@zlot4hire 13 лет назад

Great vid. what was the out of stock firestarter? Also, I've gotten a couple of water containers like that from different places, but they both mentioned not for boiling water, but I'm not 100% sure why.

@Equip2Endure 11 лет назад

Thanks for the input

@Equip2Endure 11 лет назад

Right.......being very careful and knowing its a very short term solution comes with something that fragile. Thanks for watching.

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

I agree. My Mom & Dad where big into yard sales. Raising 4 kids was expensive and that was one way to get some Nice stuff for cheap.. Thanks for the input. -Adam

@Equip2Endure 11 лет назад

thanks for your input

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

LOL! Definitely would go for the squirrel/rabbit vs the Romin Noodles - Less Sodium. Appreciate the humor and the input! Keep it coming. -Adam

@joshuatichota5046 7 лет назад

I used to have top ramen in my bug out bag/survival kit, but then this past February (a week before my birthday of all times) the doctors diagnosed me with Celiac/Gluten allergy, so I had to cut all the gluten stuff out of my bag, biut they do have gluten free noodles, as well as gluten free pasta that I have been able to get for my survival bag.

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

Absolutely want to get people thinking about being prepared -- and knowing what does & doesn't work. Thanks for the input. -Adam

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

And thank you for the support! Keep watching :) There's more to come. -Ada,

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

Good point and I appreciate your feed back. -Adam

@Mr.56Goldtop 11 лет назад

Yes. But still an excellent video showing how you don't have to go broke picking up emergency supplies. I'm going to look for that green match thingy you were talking about. I assume that it's in wally's camping section. ?

@eltenda 12 лет назад

great video and channel man...!

@ohevyisrael1 10 лет назад

thanks for the post!

@MuvoTX 10 лет назад

Nice Adam!! I wonder if you could squeeze in a sports whistle and a mirror of some sort for under $20?

@MrCker 13 лет назад

Practical very nice.

@spacetoast99 11 лет назад

what section did you guys find the jute? i can never find it in my local walmart. if they even have it that is

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

So you took the $20 Survival Kit Challenge, and you even got food - good job :) Thanks for sharing! -Adam

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

Good tip - thank you! -Adam

@-NoneOfYourBusiness 10 лет назад

Very good idea. A last ditch minimal kit into a bottle/pot. I would add a mylar emergency blanket and keychain led flashlight to it.

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

Thank you for your input and sharing with the E2E viewers. As a prepper from a third world country, if you have video of your kit, please consider sharing it here on E2E. Thanks for watching! Be safe -Adam

@mpqueen5505 11 лет назад

Can you please provide info on the item you mentioned for starting a fire? Walmart did not have the item in stock when you did this video. Thanks!

@TheVAboss 13 лет назад

Cool idea!

@GunGuyOK 12 лет назад

This is a great video!

@UrbanSurvivor 9 лет назад

Great Video!

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

Great Point! Unfortunately I didn't think of it at the time. Glad this little exercise put a lot of minds to work - I have gotten some good feed back. Thanks! -Adam

@JenniferPerkins 11 лет назад

Do you think the plastic paint cover is sturdy enough to use as a shelter?

@JonGreene 12 лет назад

Is that water bottle plastic lined? I picked one up the other day at a garage sale for a $1.00, brand new, still had the tags on it. Before I put it in the dishwasher, I read the tag. It has a plastic liner :(

@Trailtraveller 13 лет назад

Adam when did you plan the wintersurvival with only these items ? :-) I would change the plastic foil for a better tarp.

@JCouch444 13 лет назад

live from walmart....too funny. great concept for the folks on the uber tight budget. thx!

@GuitarKid905 13 лет назад

@OliverCanine o haha same here do you know anthing about dog training i know adam was working with his german shepard and was wondering if a german shorthaired pointer would be a good outdoor dog thats easy to train? i found one at my local shelter thats 1 and a half so i thought hed still be young enough to train

@gunsgt 10 лет назад

I guess a lot of the people commenting don't get it. Think outside the box! Sure, a $6 folding knife or $8 multi-tool is possible, but think about a kitchen knife. I used an old, high-carbon kitchen knife that was my Grandparents as a camp knife for years. The plastic tarp may not be the best shelter but it can be used to water-proof a lean-to or to make a solar still. Plus, it's 200 square feet and fits in a large pocket.

@4712guest 12 лет назад

nice para bracelets. know a good place to get those or do you make them?

@F386Longrifle 11 лет назад

PA? That my be the one right by where I live. Do you guys do survival classes or anything?

@jessebond4221 9 лет назад

right.. i logged in just to comment here.. to all the people bashing walmart i must say you obviously dont know jack. while it is true that some of their items happen to be lower quality than other stores that doesnt mean that it is BAD quality. in fact 3 of the best pocket knives ive ever owned have come from walmart one of which being a kershaw which is made from slightly different steel without the spring assist as the same model with spring assist. also have an ozark trail folder that i have used for years and absolutely love. that being said this video is meant to help you purchase wisely and have SOMETHING which anyone with a brain would know is better than NOTHING.. so stop being a bunch of tools and take it for what it is.. to E2E thank you for a great video maybe not the items i personally would have picked up at wally world but certainly adequate

@drainoman35 6 лет назад

jesse bond please tell me you've grown out of your "I like shitty shitty knives" stage.

@davidcarothers3311 5 лет назад

I Like Ozark Trail knives. They're really a Great Value for the money!! For what they cost...$4 or so...what the Hell?? Yes, made in China and with Mystery Steel blades, but I have Several types of them each of a Different Color, body style and blade configuration. And All of them have served me Very Well!! I suspect that Ozark Trail knives may be Collector's Items in the future, which is why I shop for them Every Christmas season when they're located on the endcaps in the Sporting Goods section...

@MrDravous 11 лет назад

another possibility for knife/fire starter is a standard metal file. you can cut about 2.5" off the end and it can act as a steel for striking (real)flint/chert rocks, and the rest can be given a temper in a kitchen oven effectively making it knife steel that you could grind an edge into. a decent amount of work but saves money and you'd get reliable quality.

@9q7a5z 10 лет назад

Have used Chicago Cutlery for years. From cable splicing to Rattle snake skinnin'. Lightweight, durable, and relatively inexpensive knives of various sizes that can be altered in length with a few hacksaw blades. Full tang with hickory maybe oak handles. Not for prying or batoning but are extremely useful.

@HighWallFarm2010 12 лет назад

My local walmart has those water canteens on sale for 2.50 right now! Im thinking about loading up on them.

@essexplodder9796 11 лет назад

some of the other "walmart" kits have used s/steel cooking pots which were quite cheap & then used aluminium bottles for water

@hazelrocks23 13 лет назад

Were you in waynesboro, PA? I came there this summer.

@MartyChipman 13 лет назад

great vid as always Adam, but I think I would look for 3mil shelter material.

@Mr.56Goldtop 11 лет назад

Thanks! Orange is fine by me, if you drop it or set it down somewhere it's much easier to find!

@Equip2Endure 11 лет назад

Exactly! Thank you very much for your comment and for watching -Adam

@chrisgallant1889 11 лет назад

that was was pretty cool the taxes we have here in canada are a little more but like ya said improvise very cool

@kyletango 13 лет назад

What about that item that you had at home that you said you would show us? Canteen/match.

@kylerboy11 10 лет назад

we might need this stuff very very soon

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

@dramey03 Thanks for the feedback and for subscribing!

@monsen293 9 лет назад

Now use it in the wild! I want to see how that all actually work out haha

@justmichelle71 12 лет назад

Every time me & my son head out in the bush and get our fire started I sing "Nothing starts a fire like a bic". BTW, I have that very same $3 SS bottle and I use it quite often. I know you can't be singles for the experiment but I keep a couple lawn & leaf bags in my pack for emergency shelter. Still though, my favorite survival thing at wallyworld is those Freeze dried meals in the camping section. They're quick, easy, light and taste really good.

@biggsexxxy19 11 лет назад

Hey there! I saw you mention that you have a website. Could you share the link?

@Equip2Endure 12 лет назад

A Creative thought - Thanks! -Adam

@Equip2Endure 11 лет назад

That should have been worded up for 24 hours, and having just driven 6 hours from NC to PA. Thanks for watching

@DenisHauser 11 лет назад

Good video!

@TrapperOfMinecraft 12 лет назад

hay adam could do a episode on the survival uses of paracord for me? that would be great for your vewers out there who dont know what it dose

@Equip2Endure 11 лет назад

recently they have only had the orange, but they are filled with water resistant (they say water proof, but I would say resistant) matches, and a large striker.

@jelkel25 9 лет назад

I'm not sure about just getting stuff in one store but I agree with the basic premise, you don't always have to buy top dollar to get something that does the job. My Stainless steel water bottle cost about the same and it's been going strong for three years, I got my anodised aluminium billy pot from Wally World with a frying pan for £5 ($8) and its great except the handles but they can be replaced with metal coat hangars when needs be. If you use your common sense you can spend less money on some gear where you can get away with it then use that money in areas where you are better off spending it like backpacks/rucksacks, water proofs, boots and a good knife (that doesn't always mean expensive). Thanks for the vid!!

@joeykrieter4701 8 лет назад

LOL, i know i am only a kid, but i LOVE bushcraft. I think it is the best thing EVER.

@Tanis350 11 лет назад

I live in Virgina and I want to learn all of the stuff that you teach hands on. How would I find people who teach this?

@bionicrob1343 8 лет назад

Best money you ever spent in and emergency. No one claimed it would last forever.

@mkuhnactual 10 лет назад

What hardware store did he find that at if you mind my asking?

@mixflip 12 лет назад

I tried filming in WalMart and got stopped. Cool video. Is a stainless steel water bottle better than a synthetic water bottle?

@jeffreyclark2839 3 года назад

If its a true stainless bottle that doesn't have the vacuum seal liner, you can boil water to sterilize it, you can't do that in a synthetic bottle.

@greymajickjedi 11 лет назад

True! Plus trash bags also become a poncho (which these guys also forgot), waterproof your gear, connect a few to improvise a sleeping bag (i actually did that in a cemetery last time i was homeless....)

@rbarbour64 8 лет назад

Most of that stuff can be got at a thrift store a lot cheaper or a yard sale.I even got some stuff at our local county trash site in the steel ben, I got a tail gate grill, pressure pot(without lid), dog bowl not used.Try some of those places first.

@Wildwesttrailblazer 11 лет назад

How did that vessel hold up!? you still use the knife?

@BookGolem 13 лет назад

How well did your $3 water bottle hold up when heated. I bought one of them to try out, and then bought what was left of them when I found them again. Fortunately they were only $2 at my local wally world. I think I got 3 or 4 silver and some blues, greens, and reds that I gave to the rest of my family. And 1 $1 aluminum one. We also each got a $5 one with a flip top that is easier to drink from. We also found some insulated sleeves that fit them in the camping section.

@MusIncstudio 12 лет назад

Good idea

@Equip2Endure 11 лет назад

after a couple years, I'm not sure where most of that gear is. We will look into doing another with the field use part of the video.

@ScottsUtubeWorld 11 лет назад

Not only that, but when I've had a cheap/thin tarp like that in the pack for a month or two, it stuck to itself, and ripped to shreds when I tried to unfold it.

@pr2wayne76 13 лет назад

Now we must have videos of the items being put to the test. How well does 1 mil plastic work for a tarp? Will the knife hold up to battoning, will it make a spark? How well will the bottle hold up to several boilings? I cant wait.
