$100 Walmart Survival Kit / DIY Budget Bug Out Bag

[@kirkpoff67]

Don’t forget the super glue. Works great to use for stitches.

[@1cleblanc]

Canteen or water bottle. You can get rice or pasta meals in the grocery section that will be just as good and you simply rotate out every few months. Instead of close to $20 for 4 meals (remember when you open the dehydrated bag you list 30 years of storability), you could get 5 to 10 meals for just a little over $1 each. Use the $10 saved to upgrade shelter, etc.

[@Shadowborg]

Some of these items are double the price now. Literally paid $10 for the mess kit today. The Gorilla tape is $4.

Thats because so many are putting out videos on this stuff!!

[@ThePreparedWanderer]

Good video, I would have chosen the Stanley Pot. Very durable.

[@leesmith6574]

Thank you ! , I think this is the best , basic , low cost , survival kit , if you can't make it with these items , stay out of the woods !!👍👍.

[@jacksoneiben1809]

great video, gotta remember, everthing here is about price, none of it is perfect, but given the price, its spot on

[@madusonkeeper]

Reecommend 3 large bandanas to make splints for fractures.

[@joesmith4222]

I've been backpacking for 45 years and your kit is spot on. Outdoor Products makes a wide variety of backpacks, high quality for the price with a lifetime guarantee. I have several sizes for different hikes.

[@paulrotledge9276]

outdoor product sold at walmart are not what you think they are.

[@GreenTea3699]

For the bug repellent, you can often find pure citronella oil. My last little jar was about $5. Ticks hate it. It works better for me than any chemical tick repellent. Another thing you might already have in your kitchen for bug or spider bites is meat tenderizer. The enzyme that tenderizes the meat also breaks down the poison in a bug or spider bite. Just a little mixed with water to make a paste and rub into the bite. I've personally used it for bee stings & a brown recluse bite. The doctor said she's never seen anything work better.

Decent kit, well thought out. You're absolutely right, great start. Almost any item on that could be improved on. First figure out what you like and what works for you. I'd put in sleeping bag, and tee-shirt. Good starting kit. Bic light, storm matches, Mountain House, all hard to improve on.

[@1cleblanc]

Walmart 2 person "Happy Camper" tent with rainfly, $22. Skip the gorilla tape, skip the Mountain House (get 4 packets of rice or pasta meals), you got your tent. No bugs, no critters!

[@BigggRoss]

Good kit for the project. Something I would have done differently is the fishing hooks. You can get the eagle claws with leaders already attached, they call them Snells. these are good because in a stressful situation trying to get paracord through that little hook eye can add to your stress level greatly. Not to mention loss of coordination if you happened to have fallen in a cold river or snow ect. Something to think about.

[@PilotPatriot]

Good idea

[@GreenTea3699]

That's a great tip. Thank you

[@DribbleFunk]

I might have looked past it in the comments below (someone might have brought it up already), but if you replace one of those small water bottles with a Smart Water bottle, you can connect the Sawyer Squeeze to it. The Sawyer doesn't fit the threads of those smaller water bottles.

[@adventurersclub1]

Not bad, I would recommend adding a tarp

[@PilotPatriot]

Tarp at 6:25 in the video! Thanks!!

[@gokusondbz]

Just a Heads up Alcohol Swabs from Pharmacy Dept. At Walmart 2.00 for a 100 Good for Survival Kit also a Great Firestarter 👍

enjoyed the video man, love watching for ideas to use in my kits

[@bradleybogert7218]

Ummmmm. I think you may be missing point of the video.....

[@dannyhousley8727]

I would have chosen different items but i think in a moderate environment this would work. I keep telling myself im going to do this challenge but it slipsmy mind. You can get enough food to last a week for what those mountain house cost. Just one example.....top ramen soup is 5 packs for $1. Good video though. Keep up the good work.

[@jameschangeslives]

I enjoy your videos. After watching a few videos I was inspired to do my own Walmart survival kit review. Thank you for motivating me. There was one item that was in my Walmart survival kit that I have no clue what it is I was hoping if you get a chance to look at the video tell me what the Coleman product is? I'm just curious.

[@tbsmith-ht6ej]

@1:17 Where did all your gear go?

[@gailhitson6722]

Does anybody know if it's safe to sterilize water in a safe pressure cooker?

[@PilotPatriot]

Probably, but unnecessary...just boil it, filter it, treat it or all of the above.

[@KamenDesantis]

Opinion inbound, take for whatever its worth. I'm eagerly awaiting the testing vid. What you did right: Bandana, lighter, wipes, Sawyer, gorilla tape, headlamp, FAK, and the contractor bags. What you did wrong: You got tunnel vision on sporting goods and spent too much time and money there, and not enough in the rest of the store. Anyone buying a machete in these vids may as well put on a shirt that reads "armchair survivalist" and is likely the source for Matthews comment below. What you neglected: Smaller knife, water container of useful size and durability, hand warmers, hand sanitizer, signalling device, insulation, work gloves, navigation. I own that tarp. Its overpriced and undersized. More contractor bags paired with the tape would have offered better shelter and options for a browse bed and blanket, as well as emergency rain suit which can be stuffed with browse for insulation. Hand warmers are too cheap and effective not to add. A frightening amount of our body heat is lost through the head, especially considering your hairstyle. Get something thicker than that cap to sleep in. I've used that uncoated cookset. If you do anything besides boil water for those MH meals, you will regret not having a scraper or scrub pad. A bit bulky, but closed cell blue foam mats can be had for cheap and pair wonderfully with that mylar blanket beneath them. A better nights rest directly translates into more capability the next day. Most bushcraft injuries are to the hands, add some work gloves to protect them. Another common one is sprains or twists. Add an ace bandage and either bring or cut trekking poles. You may have GPS on your phone, but a map and compass dont need batteries or signal and are easier to take notes on. Kitchen would have offered a better quality pot for cheaper, as well as an option for a smaller and actually useful knife. Assuming you do catch something with those fishhooks (550 inner strands do not thread into hooks easily, and will likely scare off the fish), are you going to try to clean it with that machete? The hatchet next to it would have been a better choice for practical tool and still came with a ferro rod, but you could have had both cheaper separately. Your shelter lines do not need to be 550 test, kite string from toys will do the job and you will pay less for more cordage. For what you paid for those 2 MH meals I could have eaten for nearly a week from grocery. Those tiny water bottles are too small, too fragile, and wont thread onto the sawyer. Two liter bottles will, are cheaper, tougher, hold more, and come with 2 liters of beverage with calories in it. Pharmacy would have had rubbing alcohol, vaseline and cotton balls. That FAK will need additions, including a small mirror for checking injuries to your face, back and nethers. Also grab a whistle for when you get yourself into actual trouble this kit wont cover.

If you observ you can get all you got at a better price I.

[@PilotPatriot]

I love a good can-opener/screw driver/toothpick combo as much as the next guy but at $30 there just no way it's worth adding in with only a $100 budget.

[@drewjohnson6583]

Walmart kit. But yet all ur listed items are Amazon or other places...other than that good video.

Amazon is faster and free shipping....just trying to help you guys out if you wanted to order rather than go to walmart.

[@MattsOutrageous]

Using $30 of your $100 on Mountain House seems a little excessive.

[@PilotPatriot]

Maybe but having food for those first few days/week is crucial

[@MattsOutrageous]

@@PilotPatriot Sure, and Mountain House is a morale item, I'm just thinking that you could get the same calories for half the price and upgrade a gear item.

[@paulrotledge9276]

why would you spend 18 bucks on freeze dried food that give you 4 meals when you can pend 8.50 on 10 Ramon soups. you dont have a canteen, and this really not a 100 dollar kit when you stared adding stuff from home.

[@PilotPatriot]

Ramen has basically 0 calories....you need calories in an emergency meal. There is a water bladder in the sawyer kit so that covers the canteen. And you got me on adding a pair of socks, trash bags, cotton balls and a bottle of water...guess you gotta call it a $102 dollar kit

[@paulrotledge9276]

A $10 dollar bag? A $12 knife that has a fire steel included that was made in China then transported across the world, so it probably cost $5 to make the bag and $6 to make the knife, this is like taking a hundred dollars and throwing it in the trash, I’d rather take that hundred dollars and buy a decent bag to put random items in I find along the way
