Much appreciated info this morning. When you bent the pin, a smile happened. Just never thought to do that. I've always carried safety pins, snare wire and a 10 ft coil of 50 thou. piano wire. I used to bend a small nail, file the ends and hammer it into a piece of tapered 3/8" dowel for a guide on my ice fishing rig. This makes sense and won't split the wood. I won't need the reel, but the guides are priceless. Will cut and bend 6 to add to my bead bottle (preform) of fishing stuff. I have to catch myself and keep saying ... 'You don't know what you don't know" Then you pop up with something I haven't thought of or seen. So . . . thanks for that and keep em' coming. In the ofttimes when tins are hard to find, I go to my preforms or Dollar Store zippered pencil cases for small kits in my pack. Last video . . . again thanks for the two strand Matthew Walker knot . . . just didn't know. Cheers.

[@mountainghost556]

Nice work once more I would still keep the safety pin intact if for any reason I may need a safety pin if I have to break it down. The use of the safety pin is ingenious though.

So Thought, would it be possible to cut down on the tape and zip tie, by adding the reel while wrapping the handle? I'm 100 percent curious, I'll try it on my end if no one knows.

[@robendert7617]

Clear and informative, as usual! When water bodies are near, you will probably get a meal faster from fishing than from trapping or hunting, as water is generally speaking more biologically dense than land. In order to survive, you need to use all options for food procurement. Set your traps or snares, and go fishing. You will eat fish while waiting for your traps to get results.

[@jalcock6721]

Is there any particular reason you cut the safety pins? just seems to me if you didn't you could bend them back and still use them to safety pins later. Great video

I use the same reel but I use a telescoping fishing rod. It still fits easily into a day pack. I do like your DIY pole idea though.

If you use that same set-up to dangle your paracord (white works best) lure in front of a frog, you'll find it's easier than gigging them. I used to do that with a long, crappie pole when bank-fishing at night.

While you were wrapping the bank line handle,you could have wrapped the reel wings under the bank line handle. 🤔

[@sabinekatsavrias4422]

You know you would probably catch a much bigger fish with bankline and a larger hook thru the back of the smallest fish you caught using it as live bait and thrown way over towards the other bank right ? Great vid :) small fish is always better than no fish.

[@mr.robinson1982]

I never go anywhere w/o my flyrod.. I drive a tractor trailer for a living & in fact have one just behind my head...I tie my own flies.

[@thedeathwobblechannel6539]

one minor thing- in cold or rain, tape not so good. maybe use bankline or metal wire to hold reel and guide rings? and fishing, if you catch can be a boost to your mental state. even if you need 15 small fish to feed you. and if you cant fish or not know how to prep fish to eat.....well more skills to learn and practice . great vid

[@deanbauer9579]

Instead of the safety pins, why not just buy some actual replacement fishing rod eyelets and pack them in the tin? Great video!

[@sledzep01]

I love the guides and the reel... But cordage is precious... Skip the handle...

[@johnlord8337]

Yup, looks like my john-kit. 3x3 (or 4x4) inch x 3 inch tall. Tin box works good - if you can have plastic kit box with 2 levels - even better. Bottom area holds fly fishing reel or as large as possible large fly reel wheel fitting the case and multiple small packs of various fishing line weights - even fly fishing line. Top deck holds any all hooks, treble hooks, swivels, clips, weights, flies, wet flies, droppers, small paracord color bits (or colored waterproofed cotton fluff) ... and various lengths of velcro strips. Have fishing rod eyes and eye tip. Find your wilderness fishing pole from a tree limb. Notch a small flat spot on the handle for the reel and velcro tighten. Little tiny notches and install rod eyes and velcro (with a slit in the velcro, pushing the eye through holding them on the pole, superglue the velcro slit). Cut the tip flat, then "" and "+" put the tip onto the interior splinters and vecro lash all the tip splinters on the eye tip tight. Thread the line through the fish eyes, and you have a workable pole. If you have other options, retrofit any collapsible fishing pole (removing the fish eyes, and keep the sections. Thread the line through the pole hole, and make a Japanese tenko fishing pole (no fishing eyes or tip - line moves through the pole instead). All can be used in the smallest of spaces and ULW.

[@afakespace]

Having that kit in my car would make it too tempting to make spontaneous fishing trips/stops 👍

[@carloskaaos5949]

Another thing you can use to attach the reel to the rod is a couple of hose clamps. Although it would add weight and take up a bit of space. Unless of course your container is cylindrical, then you can just store them around the container itself.

[@davehogg63]

As a UK subscriber I am very limited as to where and when I can fish freshwater (with a standard licence). However coastal/estuary/harbour fishing my be an alternative with slightly heavier gear, Thanks Dave

[@shawnb1287]

With as much space as you have on your tin why not toss a couple of hose clamps in and use them to attach your reel there reusable and would be more reliable than tape or zip ties and you can readjust your reel on the fly without using more tape or zip ties

[@recall5811]

then some will cry about weight. Thanks for watching

And try some small screw eyes instead of safety pins again you have the space in the tin and save the pins for gear repair

[@IrishEagIe]

@@shawnb1287 I think the rod would have a higher chance to snap if it had eye screws, less structural integrity. Extra pins for gear repair would be unnoticeable in weight in my opinion.

I have been waiting to use your handle knot. Haven't seen that since I was a kid. I used your quick release knots in the garden. Plants growing having to be tied again. Why not tie a knot that works. Thank you !

[@serenab5707]

Velcro for the straps, its re useable

[@Chaucerfaux1]

Ok so here is my thought, though im not sure if it will be looked at by yourself. So on the saftey pin eyelits, for more stability and less chance of them slipping out somehow, would it not be prudent to bend the opposite ends at 90degrees about the last 1/8 inch then use your multi too to "hammer them into the wood befor securing them with the tape? Also as i understand this is a survival fishing rod, save the tape and maybe lash the reel to the rod as your making your handle whipping, would this be more usefull or just more work?? Would consider super glueing a small neodineum magnet to the tis so if it happens to fall and pop open you wouldnt risk losing all your saftey pins. These are my thoughts and or possible improvments. I'm by no means a survival expert. Your videos are Outstanding and very informative. Be well and have a safe and enjoyable 4th.

[@williammccaslin8527]

Great idea, the Bobby pin trick was unreal, how about a collapsible rod housed in a piece of pvc w/end caps to protect it in your pack and a reel an fishing kit in a tin or bag, great vid like always bro.

[@johnhildenbrand2642]

#3 Fish are much less difficult to find, one might almost say they are less intelligent, they are in the water, and in most survival situations your not going to be dealing with large lakes etc, most of those have some kind of habitation, you'll be dealing with ponds, creeks, streams, small rivers, the dad blamed bunnies and bushy tails can be any freaking where, not at all saying fish are a guarantee, just that for percentages they have less places to roam many of the areas that folks get into trouble.

[@animistchannel2983]

Another great episode, good tricks & techniques! One of the great things about bluegill ponds/streams is that they will basically support a certain number of kilograms of bluegill, and they eat voraciously on a variety of prey and grow fast. Add to that, each female bluegill will lay something like 80,000 to 200,000 eggs per year, so most waters end up having too many of them numerically, and the average size is quite small, basically a "runting" process. The advantage is, you can catch & eat as many small ones (like meat french fries) as you like, and the rest will just get bigger, until the remainder get to the 1/2 pound+ range and make serious fillets. Then, the whole population refills every year and you can just keep harvesting them, especially if you leave some of the bigger ones for breeders. For longer term survival, it's an endless bucket of protein you can manage; and if it's connected to a stream system, you will get additional refills by migration from there. Because groups of little bluegill tend to raid other fish's nests to eat the babies, getting the runted crowds thinned down can help develop your potential bass, trout, and catfish populations, which will then also help control overpopulation. This is one of the few high quality food species that you can actually help the ecosystem by harvesting heavily; so if you are to be operating (or stuck) in a given area for the longer term, they are a good first target and so easy to catch.

[@kuzinit989]

I like the concept of the ultralight fishing kit. In my part of the country the fish tend to run quite a bit larger. (Michigan) I am building the rod but will use a Zebco 404 reel that comes preloaded with 15 lb test. It weighs an extra 7 ounces but is pretty much bomb proof. The features of this reel means more and bigger fish. It is also less expensive than the Mr Crappie reel. I use a 7 day pill box to keep my hooks, swivels and sinkers organized in the minimum amount of space. The reel, pill box and extra line store nicely in an orphan sock.
