LOUD whistle. VSSL is so high-quality. Beeswax candles are the best, long burn time and multi-use (lip balm, scrapes & bug bites, waterproofing etc.). Always found the VSSL and GearPods kits fascinating, but a bit limiting, and I think a homemade version using a widemouth water bottle is a smart way to accomplish something similar. You can go ultralight with a 500ml Temu bottle, or pack an entire disaster kit in a stainless steel 64oz. Klean Kanteen. Great find WS!
Yea definitely this kit has higher quality items in it the. Some kits plus the kit being milled out makes a cool Factor addition also. The entire kit has always been attractive to me. I love the idea of the water bottle kits. I am going to get a couple of them too review but it is hard to find a decent one. You’re right for sure. The only way to make a good one is to just make it yourself.
Dollar Tree sells steel pucks like those, medium and small ones. They can be found in the crafting section. A tea candle will fit nicely in the small ones. The larger ones fit two of Dollar Tree's magic expanding towels. Uh oh, we have a problem. Where are those aquatabs? I can see the mob with torches and pitchforks in the distance.
I’ve been intrigued by the VSSL survival tube ever since it first came out, but never quite enough to want to get it at the price ranges it seemed to like to stay at, so it’s interesting to see a review done of it. After having seen it though, honestly…if I ever did get it, I would probably just end up stripping the tube completely and carry the individual tinned modules in pockets.
Those are the descendants of the pod survival kit. Those were better in my opinion. These are good but pricey as heck. It's also not very pocket friendly. I'm kinda surprised to see them still around because REI cleared theirs out last summer for 20 bucks. The limit was 10. I've repurposed them because that light, compass, water proof tube is bombproof. Excellent presentation
@@whitetailsurvival2430 they went out of business at least 2 years ago. The owner of Minotaur had talked about buying the rights and re producing them. He went belly up as well. If you can find the shelter kit BUY IT!
