My husband and I are into archery and you're not supposed to leave the bow strung on any bow except for compound and crossbows because the tension is released on them. It stretches your bowstring out and weakens it. :) It doesn't surprise me that it's the same with a bow saw.

Mike, that is a great idea with the wire saw! Would have never thought of it. That looks like a 'high quality' saw. Every one I ever tried to use broke, usually either at the snap ring or at the center from being over stressed. A quick FYI: NEVER use any type of petroleum based product (vasoline, or even butter) on a burn. It can cause major infections, prevent healing due to making an air tight layer over the burn area, and it can actually cause the burn to get worse if applied right away after the burn occurred before running cold water over the area and cooling it down. Using petroleum jelly products isn't taught in any first aid classes anymore, in fact, they have been teaching not to use it for over 10+ yes. Cool clear water is the best initial treatment followed by a loose dry dressing until proper medical treatment/aid can be given.

One thing I’d like to see in one of these kits is a couple pieces of hard candy. I’ve seen them in mres. If you’re stuck in some emergency situation and are relying on this kit, a piece of candy might be a sort of pick me up thing. You might not have a thing to eat but a piece of candy could do wonders, mentally and physically. I know I’d appreciate it…..

I think these companies should really work with someone like you (or you) to test and improve their kits.

In my experience, survival tins on their own are more of a gimmick than a serious survival aid, and a bug out bag or small survival pack is a far more realistic option for providing shelter, heat, drinkable water, food and navigation for a short term emergency. A small survival tin might be part of such a pack, but I'd say "bin the tin".
@miitch99
@miitch99 2 ай бұрын
Agreed. If you make them just twice as big (doesn't have to be twice as heavy) you could add much more robust gear. Big enough to fit a multitool at the very least. You could say "I have one with me anyways" but the point of a kit like this is you always have it for a *just in case,* regardless of what else you're carrying, you know it's there.

Thank you for testing these kits and Showing the General Public the difference in appealing to the eye Filler Garbage kits and actual PRACTICAL Real to life survival kits. If you do add a Mylar blanket to your kit that you are building Make sure its a quality one they are not all created equal. Also that Red Light is actually very practical for map reading the US. Military has a Red Lens on their standard issue flashlight for this purpose. Black Scout Survivals own BSS V3 light has a Red lens in it as well for that exact purpose. As for the Vaseline on the tampon you would have much longer burn time if you saturated the cotton in it. Also Im not so sure about tampons being issued with MREs to troops but a very important note to anyone... NEVER EVER USE A TAMPON as a way to stop bleeding. It will soak up the blood and continue to do so till you are dead. It does not stop bleeding it absorbs the blood. NEVER USE A TAMPON FOR FIRST AID.

What I like about you is how well you can film what you're doing, so it seems like the viewer is right there with you. I also appreciate you taking things seriously and not doing dumb stuff like I've seen on other channels. I can tell you have a huge appreciation for being outdoors and that you are well informed on how to make the most of what you have at hand. For a woman, or anyone not familiar with what and how to do basic things in the woods, your videos are well worth the watch! I've learned so much just from watching 2 of your videos! Looking forward to viewing the others!

A fun video. I don't mind these tins for what they are: a bit gimmicky, a bit cheap - not bad to supplement your stuff or keep in vehicle as a backup, but much better to buy stuff seperately and there are many things lying around the house or that can be found at cheap stores ie: tampons, condoms, duct tape, elastic bands, ziplocs, cheap t shirts for making char etc. You should try camping in the wild out here in BC, Canada sometime. It can be very wild and unforgiving - and you REALLY need to be wildlife aware - grizzly bears, black bears, moose, and most of all mountain lions can all be "challenging".

A trick back in the 70s survival, you run a sowing needle up and down a long bar magnet for a few seconds. You fill a cup with water or find a puddle of water, you slowly place the magnetised sowing needle onto the surface of the water (meniscus will keep it floating) and it will float and point you North. To make life easier, a little blob of candle wax in middle of needle will aid floating on water. Or put needle on tiny square bit of tissue paper then carefully onto water..

Surely you can cut small branches with it, but its will snap,when overheated because of its structure. Peace.

The tampon trick and condom tick I have always used even as a kid. A lot of fine cotton in them so they work wonders. And condoms if your stuck on a hike you can keep stuff inside it to keep it dry. Or use as water collection as you showed here. That tin isn't fully water proofed but you could wrap the condom round it and zip tie it. Love the flint and steel. Love how you have two water bottles I carry one 2 litre and one 500. When I leave on my hikes for several days they are both filled when I finally get through the 2 litre into my 500 I filter refill it and then add half a tablet mine are 4 litre tablets. By the time I have finished the 500 I have fresh water Ready to go. I usally hammock it so I don't worry about the wet weather and put bits of string top and bottom of my midline and hammock to divert the water down and away. I also carry the flameless heater packs just incase I'm somewhere where I don't want a fire as I hike through areas and some don't like fires. As some people don't make sure they are out properly and that causes issues. M

It's annoying that the kit was missing parts, but I have to say that I really like it. It's very definitely a get-to-help kit that can only somewhat assist you in staying healthy as you flee back to civilization, but the way that pieces were chosen and packaged shows some real thought went into arranging everything. I really like that the kit included a condom for water storage and the fact that it contained the separated vial of petroleum jelly and tampon as separate items. They each have multiple very different uses they can be put to, and maximizing the flexibility of the kit seems thoughtful. The choice of a coffee filter over a handkerchief is a bit of a stumble, as is the lack of a dozen feet worth of duct tape. I do feel like that the original inclusion of a fishing kit seems a little excessive. I would rather have seen ten more cable ties instead. This does seem like a pretty good toss-and-forget camping or car tin, but it would behoove anyone who buys one to go through (and make sure everything's there!) and add a few odds and ends in order to round out a pretty good basic kit.

Great, well-thought-out kit. We can always think of other things that should be included, such as a small magnifying glass or fresnel and some tweezers. There is probably not enough room for a space blanket, but if there is, that certainly would be a good addition (later saw you did recommend) . I love the DIY dental cotton rolls in parafin. I always throw in an orange crayon for color. They will burn intensely for around seven minutes. You can make dozens for less than $10. They are waterproof as well. All in all, it's a sweet little kit and at a decent price. Making the bow saw was brilliant.

I always have a small tube of superglue in my kit, though I do double up with needle and thread for deep cuts too.

Another great video! The way the saw breaks down so quickly makes me think these kits are designed for single use

The bent branch method of turning the wire saw into something like a hacksaw works best in my opinion.

Copper does rust. That is why it turns green. Oxidation. "Tampon" can be used multiple ways. Can be used to pack a wound, start a fire, filtration, etc. The condom can be used for water, but usually used more for waterproofing.

The green colour isn’t rust. It doesn’t eat away at the metal, it’s just tarnishing it. If you polish it you will notice the copper comes back really shiny with no pitting or buildup.

@chronicallyshannon1213 Copper oxidizes. Which is the definition of rust. Copper may not rust like iron, at least initially, but it will, eventually, develop pits, etc. like iron does. Statue of Liberty is a prime example. They had to replace sheets of copper because of the extreme oxidation.

Wouldn’t pack a wound with a tampon, they absorb blood and fluid rather than clot it. Might be better to carry gauze in one of these as can light fire with that too

@@tenzaemtade6146 Rust is oxidation of iron. The green coating on copper is oxidation. By simplifying oxidation, even on copper, it is rust. Do they not teach basic science and how to think and reason in school?

Really enjoying this series. Have you considered creating outdoor survival kits catering to forest, woodland, barren, foothill, lakeside, or coastal areas tailored to either summer and winter seasons? The basic stables will mostly remain the same, but the geography and season specific items will add flavour.

The copper wire is great for cutting clay when making pots, in case of a very long term survival situation.

For day to day living, these "survival tins" or "every day carry (EDC)" are a waste of time and never really get used. Most of us spend most of our time in urban environments. To this end I carry a back pack with a bottle of water and a basic first aid kit. The back pack can also carry a woollen hat and warm gloves for colder weather and a waterproof jacket for wet weather. If you're venturing out into the wilderness, you should be carrying items that would aid you in a survival situation. Think, food, water, shelter, fire and communication with the outside world.

with the bow saw method I'd have cut the notches more like a Jr Hacksaw, then use the crimps as the stops on the outside of the bow
