[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Doug...thanks. Appreciate that!!!! See you in the bush.

[@andyiron5825]

after watching over 100 survival videos and BOB bags....a Kill Card is one of the best things to add to my pack. Thanks.

[@pacediver2594]

Very well thought out,I like the term enabler nicely explained

[@mazlosoutdooradventures8594]

Knowing more and carrying less. That's been my goal

[@LearnTheLandScandinavia]

Congrats on getting on Alone! Will love to see you on there

[@thomasnugent7602]

Awesome video Donny keep making more!!

[@jeffnotti9932]

Dude i have been watching your videos. I have seen you survive with a rock! Yea i said a rock! you made a blade and did some stuff. hiked into the mountains and made a killer king size bed from grasses and some large branches.. I think the best think you carry is your brain.. Ok ok... i can see that your little kit is like carring the taj mahal. it is a great kit. Knowledge is everything.. Thanks for the in site. i am going to use some of that to refine my own kit. J

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

No worries...most important aspect of this kit is for my family. It makes a tough situation a little better!!! Cheers!

[@jeffnotti9932]

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks yea but if you were in a situation with your family, i am sure you would make them far more comfortable then i would be capable of doing. That said that is why i follow your channels and watch your videos.. Everything i learn i carry with me and can recall in a pinch.. thanks you for sharing that knowledge. It saves lives J

[@belligerentprisoner1959]

Great stuff man. 👍 I still am a bit reliant on my "gear" I drop things as my skills increase. still have a way to go. have knowledge on how to.do things but if I haven't put in the dirt time and put it to practice it doesn't count for me. like all your videos. I learn something new every time.

[@pacediver2594]

Really like the Paracord idea simple and effective.thanks

[@anthonycoleman1909]

This was a great video. So many interesting ideas. Noted you were in search and rescue. With that in mind where would be the best place to keep the card with all your info medical etc,

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Best place...in your pocket, wallet and your kit...what do I mean...redundancy. Have more than one. We would check for wallets, but no everyone hikes with their wallet in their pants. A medical alert bracelet, dog tag or identifier let’s responders know the subject is unique and requires different attention.

[@anthonycoleman1909]

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks Thanks this is great advice for people with medical issues like me

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Anthony Coleman my pleasure. Just some simple solutions to problems we can already avoid. See you in the bush.

[@seanantill3366]

Great little kit.. outside of clothing for here in Alaska, my basic kit varies little from day to day.

[@behindthespotlight7983]

Primitive skills are our origins but we’ve both been quasi hypothermic when holding a Bic is challenging….let alone a hand drill 😉

[@WELSBYROOTS]

Great information brother! Keep it up.

[@robbabcock_]

Good stuff!

[@fire_x_friction8820]

Donny just wondering, this has been the second kit I've seen you talk about the other for when you are scouting. What's your thoughts on first aid beyond the tools you are currently using for multiple purposes like the Hi-viz belt. I've often worried about what if I or someone else had a major laceration and potential of loss of blood.

[@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks]

Gary...great question. Most back country injuries fall into the CALIP...Crush, Abrasion, Laceration, Incision and Puncture realm. I bring a separate, very small first aid kit to cover the CALIP. Aside from twisted ankles, most injuries are from carelessness and knives.

[@fire_x_friction8820]

@@DonnyDustsPaleoTracks thanks man. My son is currently working on a military skills extra curricula class for his ROTC unit. 1 of them in military first aid. That information I think may help him. Also I was wondering how you handle it because of the potencial problems that occur. Shit happends might as well be prepared.

[@MrMycoo]

Great video as always!!!

[@adamfletcher9856]

Where is Alden

[@alexcosta2444]

my only question is why not have a swiss army knife in ur pack , there are different ones for different situations.

[@edone1231]

Nice kit, but using a new sawyer filter in below freezing temps is safe only one time

What would you use

[@assaultpickle77]

I love your easy explanation of reason for what you have chose, from previous experience and knowledge, that you professionaly brought to purpose for this video! That praise being stated........ I was disheartened when you pulled your emergency pack out of your backpack. Really? Your "survival pack" is kept in your backpack? Well then, it's not a survival pack then is it!?! Come correct or don't come at all!

[@assaultpickle77]

Sure, this video is now 2+ years old...... But really, someone should have called this out before now. Again though, I love your videos.......just......have someone like minded fact check some of your potentially important videos from time to time. Ok, I'm done griping. I still love your content no matter what I take away from it,
