Bug out gear (72 hour)

[@ScanMan1967]

Couldn't disagree more about the saw. I think the Silky Pocketboy is a much better saw than the Bahco. The Silky cuts so much better.

[@wjf213]

Nice kit bro, and it's GREAT to see you back. I hear you about DELL too. How well does that TCP really work as bug repellent? I always say this, but if you can get it, add in ORAJEL with 20% benzocaine. That stuff is some very quick pain relief from bee stings, cuts, blisters, or anything like that.

[@charlesfarley5935]

I use a British Army olive green poncho as shelter. It's about the same size as your American one and comes with brass eyelets and press studs. Pretty much bulletproof and has seen me through over twenty years of use and still looks like new!

[@toddhebert7731]

A well thought out and organized kit. I never would have thought you could get that much into that bag. Nice job.

[@proudofyourboy352]

That idea with those balloons is ingenious. Thinking outside the box is what would keep you alive. Awsome video

[@OldNavajoTricks]

Anaa thing with fishing line, probably my primary use of it tbh, is perimeter security measures. Shin high lines (above rabbit height) set to various 'alarm' setups can give you a vital headsup on farmers/wronguns coming up on you. Edit* I use those same bikelights lol, the glow alone was worth the 4 quid, let aone the bulbs light 👍

[@Mr.Miyagi907]

Very professional and well thought out survival kit. I think this was the best one. Perfect for the person that carries it and the invierment one is in. Greetings from Germany

[@STIXSURVIVAL]

Danke my friend and thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I’ve more to post soon.

[@robbabcock_]

Nice looking kit! I especially like the Silky saw, I use mine all the time.

[@arkaisk2]

One of the best compact 72H kits I've seen, thanks. Just one thing: I can't see a knife anywhere, but I assume you carry one constantly on you (?)

[@STIXSURVIVAL]

Thanks mate 4min 40 F1.

[@arkaisk2]

***** Sorry, missed that one :/

[@tom.r.williams]

Great video - I'm wondering where you got the little red clip-on light? I've found a few similar ones online, but none of them mention the silicone glowing in the dark which seems like a useful feature.

[@techguyone11]

I'm in the process of making a 72hr kit, using the Thermite as the base, where on earth did you find your medical Velcro pouch from? I've looked all over and can't find anything that small or thin to fit in that small thin flap compartment.

[@remsensor]

I want a military grade survival kit. One that has almost everything Just so if the world ends all me neighbors can be like "awww no fair fucker you got all kinds of cool shit that might save you! And then I will be like "ha ha ha you fuckers I showed you didn't I?" Afterwards the group will inevitably raid and probably behead me after I run out of ammo but it's the thought that counts. And that thought in your last moments and the rare end of the world bragging rights, is well worth the money in terms of your last couple minutes of life.

[@kan-zee]

Tampons = bloodynose plugs..lol Love to see your Rabbit trap set up. Cheers ;-))

[@marycahill546]

Hello from Canada. I'm sharing this on Facebook as it is the best DIY car survival kit video I've seen. Can store under front car seat and take on any hike. Thank you! Oh, for gift I would add in a small survival book like Collins Gem version of SAS Survival Guide, or the 62 page basic guide "You Alone in the Maine Woods, the Lost Hunter's Guide" which can be ordered free (just pay shipping) from state of Maine Dept. Of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife in U.S.A.

[@ChrisFoley0803]

Nice one ! Very hard for me to understand (german) but I like it. I have a pouch like this and even a woodland-poncho in it too. But not that much stuff ! Mine is already uncomfortable to wear, but this one must be hard. I use mine, when I´m out with backpack. That´s the biggest advantage with this leg pouches. But on the other leg I wear an LMF 2 with self made pouch on the sheath. Good job with the video, good inspiration for me.

[@asymmattrical]

I really liked this vid! Very well put together and the kit is very well thought and all the components justified. Very nice! I subbed. And even if the rest of your vids are crap, I'll watch them because I love to listen your accent. :-) Just kidding - I'm sure they are all great vids, just like this one, and I look forward to catching up on all of them (this is my first!). Cheers mate!

[@Troop66Guide]

i love this bag, i want to get one to keep my basic emergency kit in with my bare basics to keep on me all the time, and then i can carry a backpack with extra stuff, but if i have to dump the backpack or i get seperated from it i can, right now i have a webbelt with a butt pack, knife, canteen and leatherman, which can b worn with a back pack, but it would b nice to replace the butt pack with this, or use in addition too, nice vid, and nice setup

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Mr Mo! Good to see you back buddy! Been far too long! I LOVE this pack mate, not to mention the way you have loaded it out! Full of common sense as usual, and some great new ideas to try with my own pack. Particularly like the rear knife carry pocket. Its on my 'to buy' list when I save up a few pennies for sure! Wish id known you were selling on some of your other gear! lol! All the best and MTFBWY!

[@Frankythechops]

we haven't killed off all the wildlife in north america yet which is why guns and knives are so important. whistles don't work on bears as well as they do on leprechauns :) stix is cool though. i wonder if his son has any toys left as many seem to get repossessed :)

[@Quodge]

The kit reviews and philosophy is bang on and great.. but I cant help but think you must have a wealth of knowledge to share about using these small packs in the real world. Surely you need more bush skills the less stuff you take.

Hi there thanks again for the views and comments. It take just the normal gas/butane as other lighters. I think I’ve only filled mine two or three times since bought and it will not evaporate from the tank. I’m sure you will be more than happy with it.

Can you tell me is the maxpedition gear waterproof, i've been reviewing a lot of bags but i need it to be waterproof because i use a pickup truck so my gear is in the bed at the back, right now i'm using plastic tubs but would prefer a go bag that's waterproof, maybe you could recomend one to me cheers Al.

[@STIXSURVIVAL]

Hi there mate. No the Maxpedition gear is splash proof but would not take a down pour. There are some very good dry bag rucksacks on the market at the moment perhaps they would be better for the back of a truck. Thanks for watching.

[@OldForesterTN]

You have your canteen and cup, back to front. Good video. Thanks.

[@CreativeRedundancy]

Great video with lots of redundancy. 16:30 I would suggest adding a system to hold the water filter to the line. Can't trust pockets. Even something simple like tying the W.F together with cordage( both ends) ,and then using key ring with small cordage to tie around the main body of the filter. Then slip the key ring into the cordage that u shown....

[@stambo2001]

What is this fixation on 72 hours? I've played video games for 72 hours, hehe. To survive a mere 3 days you need 1) water and 2) heat/shelter. If you have water and heat/shelter you can nap for 3 days. Now if you have to go longer than that, well then you need to learn skills much more than carrying around gear.

[@shaneschannel9289]

Great idea on the striker! Very well thought out kit. You may want to consider a little more food and medical though. If you get injured that 3 day trip could be considerably longer. I know from experience walking on a broken ankle is slow and excruciating.

[@STIXSURVIVAL]

Thanks for watching and yes I will try to find a way to cram in more food! Hope I never have your experience but thx for sharing it.

[@shaneschannel9289]

Everyone's needs vary. There is a difference between not dying and not being miserable. When three days walk out in any direction and warm weather a "survival kit" is not essential, but eating is always desirable.

[@daniellyne1]

[@bibleprophecy1st]

72 hours? How does anyone know that a bug out, or survival situation will only last 72 hours or three days?

[@STIXSURVIVAL]

Hi there thanks for watching. To answer your question as best I can. In normal circumstances the human body can only last for three days without water so 72hrs is the magic number. No one knows how long a survival situation will last. A plan of 72hrs should see out any situation on the grounds that you will either be dead, pretty close to death or indeed back home after you have been found by the emergency services. So there is little point in trying to keep a small kit to last more than 3 days as it will not be sufficient for long term survival. The best bet for a swift end to your situation is always let someone know where you are and when you will return.

[@dellawrence4323]

don't know if i missed it in the video but you have a cooking vessel and food to heat in it (porridge etc.) but no cooking utensil, i guess you can eat it by pouring it in your mouth or something. But you might want to consider a titanium spork or anything of the like. Overall a very good video keep it up..

[@MasterK9Trainer]

I have wanted one of those Thermite bags for a while. I think after watching your video that it would be small enough not to look odd or attract any type of negative attention yet can hold enough emergency gear along with wallet, money, pens, keys and so on. Nice video. Honestly I love the subject, love talking about survival, but I get tired of seeing people pull out gear and explaining what it is. You explain what and why and your ideas for the stuff and why you have it and you are interesting and engaging.

Hi there and thx for watching the small orange thing is a storm proof lighter. I carry this to light an emergency fire or signal. The tank will hold the fuel for ever with no evaporation.

[@keithhutchison5198]

ok cool. I also carry butane torch lighter

[@jasonhoyt8232]

What sort of red-tape did you have to go through to be able to carry a fixed blade knife in the UK? From what I understand, you can only carry a fixed blade "if you have a good reason" even though there is no official list of "good reasons". It seems like the "good reason" is determined by the policeman confronting you. Is there a special permit that you can get that can get rid of that utterly subjective "judgement call" on the part of the officer?

[@STIXSURVIVAL]

Hi there and thx for watching. The place I practice is private land, and I have permission to be on it from the land owner. The police will make a judgement based on common sense. If you can convince them your knife is a tool to practice bushcraft, and you are in the woods with your gear it should not be a problem. If you are in public woods you might have a problem. Best thing to do is go to your local station and seek guidance from them.

[@jasonhoyt8232]

Thanks for your response. I was pleasantly surprised by your response because it seems like channels that have over 500 or so subscribers have a tough time getting back to questions. Anyhow, I live in the U.S. so we generally don't have to worry about restrictive laws when we are in the back-country (although cities can be very restrictive about blade length and method of opening). It's too bad that in your country your fellow citizens cannot force the legislators to come up with a list of "good reasons" to carry a fixed blade so that it takes away the power of the police to make "judgement calls" (except judgement calls that help the citizen instead of hurting them). But it sounds like you have a faith in the "common sense" of the police officers in your area. So that is very good. Take care. I'll subscribe to your channel. I think I would be interested in seeing you do a video on using a Swiss Army knife (such as the Farmer or Hiker) for scenarios in which you would normally use a fixed blade knife. Take care.

Do you think it would be worth adding a small multi-tool with some folding pliers/wire cutters in case you come across some fence wire and need to make something or need to pry something open?
