A candle and a can of soup. I grew up up north, and blizzards are a real threat. So if you ever get stuck in a storm or go off the road the worst thing you can do is try to walk it home. A candle provides a fuel source for melting snow to drink, or heating your can of soup to stave off hypothermia.

Large diameter plastic soda straws...using candle and needle nose pliers, melt one end and quickly clamp with pliers to seal it. Put in survival food, such as spaghetti, powdered milk, Kool-aid, coffee, sugar, etc. then seal open end...I have these in all my bug out/survival bags...Light, take up little space and are water proof. I even have some straws that hold 8 .22rimfire rounds, fishing line and small hooks, matches with striker strip, vaseline soaked cotton balls, tobacco and rolling papers. Use your imagination for your straws! Great video! I watch them all...

DO NOT use tampons on a GSW. You will turn a 1 hour surgery into a 2-3 hour surgery and that csn kill someone plus infection risks. Tampons little fibers get stuck in wounds and cause problems. You can use max pads as a cover for a GSW. Now best thing if you do not have professional supplies is a cotton shirt. Use a pocket knife and cut into 1" thick strips and pack a GSW. Just please do not use a tampon.

The priorities in wilderness survival are, in order: STOP, first aid, shelter, fire, signaling, water, and food. You can survive without food for 3 weeks, only 3 days without water. So I would pack, in order: First aid kit, trauma kit, space blanket, knife, waterproof matches, ham radio/flare, and fill the rest of the space/mass with potable water. Everything else is a waste of precious weight. A water purifier is useless without access to groundwater or open water. Make a solar still using saran wrap. Your best chance at wilderness survival is receiving outside help before you perish. Most importantly, notify friends and family of your travel plans before starting a trip.

I like the idea of an ammo can to carry in my trunk, I drive a great deal and have seen how easy the roads can be blocked by stopped traffic, and lately protesters.. If I needed to leave my vehicle to make it home I want to carry the contents of my "get home ammo can" in a lightweight rucksack. The ammo can will protect the contents until needed, but in my case I would maybe somehow try to add a surplus rucksack to the content of the can. If not, the maybe store it in the trunk too in a large ziplock bag. You posted this video 2/22/2012. Its four years later and I feel even more urgency to be prepared.

So, question. Not trying to be a dick. Just asking because I'm a bit new to putting bags/kits together. Isn't some of this redundant? The Swiss Army knife, Glock knife, pocket knife on that bundle of stuff on a cord, a box cutter and a multi-tool which has a knife. Not to mention your EDC package. I get that "one is none and two is one," but that's a lot of knives. And isn't there a get-home bag in the vehicle too with a lot of the stuff in this can? The blanket, flashlight, gear, etc. Or no. Just trying to learn. Thanks.
@JamesSmith-gt2tq7 жыл бұрын
Redundancy can be a good thing because knives go dull and things break. Also, I think it's meant to resupply your main EDC or get home bag on the go where you might not be able to access extras.
@DustinBKerensky977 жыл бұрын
I agree, it's good to have some redundancy but each redundant item is additional weight and additional bulk. Do you need 2 multitools in 1 backup kit? I haven't seen his EDC and Bug Out kits but I bet they each have 1 or more multitools too. Plus he says he keeps an additional tool kit in the car. My advice for him is the same I give to every Prepper. Actually bugout with your gear. No more suburban planning from you comfy den with the big screen TV and the game on; do a trial run where you bug out from your home into your mountain retreat and survive on your bug out bag at least for 3 days if not for a whole week. Treat it like a minimalist camping trip. Most people will find hauling 3 multitools, 2 Tactical flashlights, 2 pistols and ammo, a shotgun, and 4 various knives slows them down so much they can't make it the 5 miles to the city limits, let alone the 30 miles a day to get away from civilization. And if you can't bug out when times are good and there are gas stations to buy road snacks at, how do you expect to last a day when SHTF?

I gave them my extra multi driver and some lengths of wire then ended up fixing the problem for them. They were travelling across the province, on bikes, without so much as a screwdriver.

I liked your emphasis on not "raiding without replacing." Perhaps you might consider adding a real compass. I suggest a marine hand-bearing compass for serious navigation. Also at least two tourniquets, the simple rubber cord type with its own locking mechanism. A canteen (fill it at the beginning of each summer. Add two drops of bleach.) and canteen cup. The canteen should have a pouch so you can carry it on a web belt. When I think about it, an ammo can is too small. You need a real rucksack full of real equipment and a real aid bag. Probably the best place to start is an army field manual. Thank you for a video that stimulates thought.

i appreciate all you videos. My family teases me about having an earthquake kit living in CA! as well as small scale prepping.... I use a couple of water tight empty big cat litter buckets that hold a lot: one for medical/emergency supplies, one for food/water/fire/cooking, one for sanitation.. they can be used as honey buckets, use the litter for sanitation or chemical spills/fire suppression, and they are grab and carries.. my dad always had his Korean ammo box full of papers which I use now as well.....This Momma is gonna be prepped! I have a disabled daughter and I am her barrier to the world if we have a natural disaster or hazardous situation .Why wouldn't people take some basic care for food, water, shelter, hygiene and protection? If you never need it then great but it's too late if you aren't ready and something happens.....i have friends in Red Cross and 1st Responders and they warned me that i need to survive for a minimum of 2 weeks without assistance. My family thinks we will all band together, probably true but i could be out on the road when the 'Big One' hits or cut off from family for some period of time......Bet most folks are only ready for 3 days....So easy to prep cheaply and have peace of mind... Thanks for all you do and I learn a lot watching your videos. They won't be laughing when we get a big earthquake or disaster and I have myself and my kid secured to the best of my ability...

The other thought to think of which I don't know the answer too is what can go wrong with your car? Emergency supplies to fix a potential problem so you ARE NOT STRANDED. Thinking of the ways cars go wrong: Electrical - fuses, jumper cables. Spare lights. Fuel - gas can? Tires - Heavy duty lug nut wrench to supplement cheap one in the car kit already. Fix a flat goop, Overheating - bad hoses & radiators. tape, sealant you add to coolant to fix holes on radiator or other parts. The idea with this kit is to make it so you can get to a repair garage on your own without having to depend on rescue or tow truck. Finally pack a bottle of hand sanitizer to clean up with after. But in a survival situation, you also have bottle of jellied alcohol to start a fire with. Any time you can multitask a use your saving space and giving options.

If your're stranded in your car a water supply and means to transport it would be important. Also, when stranded chances are you'll need jumper cables or have to fix a flat. Which I would say to supplement cheap tire iron/wrench that comes with car with a four way wrench that can fit yours and a variety of other lugnuts. With those you can get more leverage and help others. Finally VISIBILITY. On the side of the road, especially at night a $3-$5 hunters orange vest to slip over your coat to help you be seen. If you can find a small clip on strobe or flashing light for the back even better. For cold weather, In boy scouts they talked about taking a used tuna fish can and tightly coiling a strip of carboard inside this. Then filling it with paraffin wax. It makes a large candle that can supply small amount of heat. However have to be real careful inside the car with it.

very cool. possible suggestions: magnesium block and firesteel, surgical tubing (multiple uses in a serious survival situation), bandana/cotton scarf, roll some of the dryer lint in petroleum jelly or dribble with wax, as already mentioned - heavy aluminum foil, film canister of salt (body needs some salt to sweat properly), snare wire/piano wire if you're worried about being stuck in the boonies... i hadn't seen those particular plastic bags before, so thanks for that

Dont forget to get a GI stainless steel canteen cup or an aluminium German Army mess kit to boil water or collect it when it rains.I used the German mess kit for years back in the Army and the Guard in the field,soon my soldiers started getting one to cook ramen and make coffee with.Just a couple of suggestions.Its an Infantryman's gear tested through combat and time.

The Jetbeam PC10 have an output of 550 lumens (30 min) only with a RCR 123 battery. With one CR 123 you have 265 lumens (1h) . Great video.

nice kit . I know you said you didnt want to carry a water bottle but, i added a "tin cup" in one car kit and a GI canteen cup in my other kit . Because it could be used to boil water to sanitize it or , it could be used with a candle to melt snow. If you got stuck in a snow bank. Or were somehow stranded in your car in winter .It wont use much space in your kit,if you place it at the bottom and place other items inside of it. The canteen cup is a great survival item. for me its a must have.

A little Vaseline on the hinge pins and gasket does it for me. It's also a good multi-purpose item for preppers.

Thanks. Very good information. If there's anything i would add to that it would be some insect repellent, some duck tape, and an emergency fishing set.

I don't know if you have one 24/7 in your car, but a radio in such a kit would be a good idea. You never know what could happen and as long as many people have radios, not anyone would react to a flare in the sky.

Depending on the situation, you may wind up with alot of time on your hands. A deck of cards, and/or a paper back book might be helpful while waiting for rescue. If stranded in your vehicle during winter, a lit candle would put off enough heat to keep you from freezing to death.
