EDC and Survival Shopping at my Local Walmart - 2019

[@shovelhead8]

# 60 braided bank line makes better shoelaces. They do not break. I will be watching for the survival challenge. Thank you for the video, Chris and the DropForgedSurvival crew.

[@allenbishop9154]

Stovepipe wire/craft wire great for snares and many other camp uses!!

[@tedz.]

The first DFS videos I watched were Walmart shopping sprees. Glad to see you went back to the well to show us how we can use everyday products at a great price point vs. something 2x the price because the label includes "survival" in the name. I'm going through 30-Day Challenge withdrawal, get your butt back out there and bring us more of that!

[@jackthongsoum1468]

I was wondering if you would do one of these again! Love these!

[@drivas8010]

Can’t wait for the challenge, excited to see more of what is worth picking up from Walmart

[@suberblackiron]

Awesome these Wal-Mart vids again love the tips chris can't wait for the up coming challenge....

[@KeystoneRangers]

In the automotive section I have found 10,000mAh USB chargers for about $15. Better quality than the ones in the checkout lanes.

[@GODtuber13]

First: Also Chris, I love your videos! Keep up the great work brotha!

[@robertgarza600]

Thanks for the video. Like how you show ppl how to think outside the box when looking for things. Teaches others that there is always a use for things that might be overlooked. Great job Chris.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Robert Garza Outside the box works!

[@codymcglothlin108]

I’ve bought the ozark trail saw about a year ago, it was trash! Save your money

[@Diebulfrog79]

thanks for the share, DFS. But stay clear ozark gear, it crap.

[@urbanjungle9600]

Chris I love these store walksrounds that the you. The ones you did previously were fantastic and hope this latest one is the start of an update series. It’s great to see your thoughts on the new products but I also enjoy looking on in awe at the amazing range of gear available in American stores in general. God bless America.

[@TrueLoveEternal]

Come on Chris, your supposed to Yell WALMART at the beginning. Lol great video brother. That was a decent deal on the water filter.

[@jaredmayo7138]

I always like your videos before I watch them

[@wobnoss8335]

I don’t think you mentioned your 100$ Walmart survival challenge out next week

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Bears On YT Oh ok! Lol Yep... Coming soon. 7 Day $100 Walmart Survival Challenge is coming! Haha 😂

[@jayautobot]

I love these episodes

[@OutdoorMomma]

Awesome video!!! Can’t wait to see the challenge

[@MsMellieg]

Loved your video on vaginal and feminine hygiene not always thought off during shtf situations. Very good tips you should share it again very good for us women 😃👍 hope to see more of your videos in future too 🙂

[@TheAngryDracolope]

Good video Chris. Makes me wish the UK had Wal-Mart.

[@oldredcoonhound2182]

I dont shop at Wally world here in Canada. But your Wal mart has a lot more stuff and is a lot more inexpensive than the ones we have up here.

[@adamosantonio1499]

Hi. Thanks for that vid. Very helpfull and practical. Like t, rex tape, or few other stuff. All the best to U and your family 👍💯🍀🏞️🍻

[@dannyschreckengost1973]

I've been waiting for this!!! More of this please Chris!

[@Goddess1Princess]

the wash cloths could also be used a emergency tp

[@erickinner4300]

I always liked the idea of having books on your phone/tablet, plant I.D. guide, guide books, survival/bushcraft books. Combine that with a power bank or solar charger. Having information at ones disposal is never a bad thing.

[@Joshadamwyo]

I missed these and your EDC videos over the last month and a half!

[@nickj6275]

I missed this channel. WALMART was always my favorite lol

[@oldman7829]

Not until u c the prices in my country. It's minus x3.5 here. :D I just got myself a cool camping stove for RM30 including postage. Minus all that with 3.5 times to get your numbers in USD.

[@CJMustang93]

Replace the damn scissors in the sewing kit

[@Chaucerfaux1]

Finally another Walmart video.Always find these fun. Wish the gear at my walmart was as stocked as yours. The boys look sorta disinterested in even being at walmart with you. Any of them planning on doing a few days survivng with you ?

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Chaucer Faux My youngest Ryan Maybe... But not until the summer though

[@leolion14]

In the lawn care. Purning etc fiskars makes a folding saw.

[@katienicoledaniels6242]

Those saws are worth it I've had one for the past 3 years and have used it religiously.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Katie Nicole Daniels Roger that... I will keep that in mind during testing

[@katienicoledaniels6242]

@@DropForgedSurvival Huge fan by the way lol thank you for what you do

[@JoshWallace]

I keep some usually 6lb test fishing line in my sewing kit. Stronger than the thread and more uses.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Josh Wallace good point!

[@SuperHank777]

Just went through your videos and found this one I missed. Really like this style of video because I shop at Walmart a lot lol

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Thanks alot bud

[@Gidyupcowboy]

That knife section is pretty nice. Our local stores only have a small case.

[@ianb2400]

Thanks for all the AWSOME ideas dude!!!!!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Ian Burwell No sweat! Thanks for Liking, Sharing, and Watching!

Good video, miss watching these.

[@carolgreen7518]

The rat traps was a great idea Chris. I never would have thought of that! Great tip!!!! Another great video!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Thanks Carol

[@jovahsangel]

Great tips & advice! 😎🤙

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Jovahs Angel Thanks Brother

[@joshd2013]

Wow I can't believe the bullets are just sitting on the shelf next to the knives you got to go to a gun shop where they are kept behind the counter under lock and key here in Australia

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

The life straw is the same price as the Sawyer what a joke the straw is junk. Good budget finds. I'm looking forward to the kits you build.

[@seth_fto]

thanks so much g

[@MsMellieg]

I personally love theses videos

[@MsMellieg]

I would love you to do a video on clothing and boots for outdoors 👍

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Mel Stimpson Thanks!!

[@KaylynnStrain]

don't forget the lighters!!!

[@AngelinaT1972]

Great informative video. Gave me a lot of good ideas of things to have that can help during the upcoming hurricane season. We already got hit with Hurricane Matthew (which I lost my home, car, and everything I owned) and Hurricane Florence. So thanks for doing these types of videos. I sure appreciate it.

[@BlazingSun39]

That hand sanitizer can also act as a fire starter in a pinch, provided you have the kind with alcohol in it.

[@elibaasch3337]

The paracord that is not in the outdoor section actually can only hold like 110 pounds I bought some and it is not as good

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Hrmmmm Have no zero issues with the 7 strand type

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

Nice. Couple of things. Lannie at Far North Bushcraft proved that CLEAR Shower Curtains made out of PEBA are THE best plastic to use for Super Shelters. He got over 90F in an ALASKA Winter. The other thing. So what are you going to eat for 7 days, since you and Fowler seemed to have Eradicated all the Racoon and Possum in Texas?😉 Thanks again and Take Care.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

7 raccoons lol is hardly close to hurting the sheer vastness of their numbers

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

@@DropForgedSurvival Lol! FYI, My Bad. The Shower Curtains you want to use are the Clear ones made out of peVa, not peba. Typo on my end. They cost about $4-8 up here in Cleveland. But I'd Mod them by running a strip of T-Rex tape along the outer edges on both sides, then add grommets. Should give you a 6 foot square panel per curtain, which is over 8 foot on the diagonal. That should be good enough for a hammock or a plow point. Plus you can look out at night for fresh Racoons to eat!😉 Thanks again and Take Care.

[@marko11kram]

screw the cell phone charging--- the battery bank can recharge your flashlight and radio too. Relying on a cell phone is an optumistic 'crutch' Felt is also useful to make a non-slip shoe in icey conditions

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Mark Olsen Fair Enough

[@tankcraft3994]

That green water bottle you didn't use you just filled up with water and left it love you videos

[@albertlevy3721]

Bank line is great but can't get it here in Arizona. We have three Walmarts in the area there isn't any.

[@podsmpsg1]

I got a lot of my survival items at Wal Mart.

[@Sapphirix1]

Someone who actually reads the text on the price ticket? (other than the price) You are a rare gem good sir! On the powerbanks, they're an EDC item for everyone anyway. Too many times someone has asked to use a store phone because their battery is dead. They're like $10-20 for a decent unit (and I'm talking Australian dollarydoos)

[@archerbrookes3285]

YES I love these type of videos

[@DropForgedSurvival]

They are fun! Just wait until the 7 Day Survival Challenge

[@archerbrookes3285]

Hi

[@williameaton7016]

The saw works great I have one and it does a good job

[@DropForgedSurvival]

William Eaton Does It? Awesome! We will put it to the ultimate text in the week or so!

[@lamondracing9832]

3:49 Ahh the good old days... full ammo shelves.

[@gene9230]

In the US they lock the knifes, but the ammo ist just in the shelf.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Those knives are dirt cheap and highly concealed tools for theft. Stupid folks do stupid things

[@rocknrollmonkey8668]

Most of the shotgun ammo is on the shelf. Buckshot and rifle ammo is locked up. They no longer sell pistol and "assault rifle" ammo.

[@jonglorieux2177]

t rex tape is expensive but so worth it. We broke t he hinge on our rear hatch and t rex held it in place until we could get it repaired. 75 lb tensile strength. highly recomend it

[@kermitttt]

Using Rat 1 for a while. One tough knife.

[@asf130thecompany7]

Why not a little fishing kit? My EDC looks more like an BOB than EDC.... But its allrounder version of both :P

[@josephearley605]

Have not tried that nylon rope bot I tried a similar rope tied to a deer looped over the board down to the deer twice and it broke. Also the deer weighed 60 or 70 pounds. But also I had hung a 80 and 40 pound deer on it. But that also had a catch they where on a block and tackle. So the rope was looped over 4 times.

[@Kurogane_666]

On the felt, you can make felt booties too, we use them in our moccasins in Labrador

[@Bobombkaboom]

Do the math on the battery chargers. 5000ma is the batteries, but they are 3.6 volts. Your phone charges at 5v. You can look up the math, I'm not going to put it in here, but a 5000 milliamp battery charger my charge your phone 75%. Maybe. If you are going to invest in one, I suggest Anker and no less than about 26,000 milliamps

[@DropForgedSurvival]

They don’t sell those sizes at wally world but i get your point

[@AYellowPepper]

Dude. if you go to a Walmart and Home improovement store and you are unsure what to buy. Everything fiskars builds is genrally as good as you need to survive for quite a while! :D (but to be fair, i am a huge fiskars fan =_= )

[@DropForgedSurvival]

AYellowPepper I’m definitely not unsure but... this is a good statement!

[@jax6893]

Hey chris i have a question im 13 and am building a bugout bag what would you recomend as the best budget sleeping bag/blanket that is good for low temps im from missouri by the way

[@robertgarza600]

You could get a micro fleece throw blanket and have an extra heavy duty trash bag (contractor bag) to sleep in. The bag would help hold in body heat since it doesn’t breath. You would still need something to put under you as most body heat is lost through the ground when sleeping.

[@rdaleytex]

@@robertgarza600 Get a sleeping bag liner. They come in cotton and nylon. They are used to add extra temperature raiting to a sleeping bag but can be used on their own in warmer weather. They cost about $9.99 at Academy.

[@robertgarza600]

Robert Daley yes you’re right. But I was thinking of more of what the micro fleece could be used for other than for sleeping.

[@BigRed-oi6ky]

I think it’s the peanut butter in the pad tai that helps the calories

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Thanks is a true statement

[@Brigsbee]

How about shoe goo??? It could be useful not only for any shoe problems that might come up but different bonding situations... out of all the survival videos I’ve seen no ones done that yet maybe you can put it to the test????

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Not a bad idea.

[@Brigsbee]

DropForgedSurvival yeah totally I was just thinking about that when u mentioned about the shoes in the video lol

[@calihiker7980]

Those inflatable seat cushions suck... get a thermarest z seat... much more rugged

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Calihiker They are reject items

[@danbolton3180]

After watching your last video I decided to get three of the Chinese stainless steel fixed blade knives for working around the property, and to save the stainless steel Morakniv I spent $20 on at a local outdoor store. Two of the knives have plastic handles with a thicker spine than the Morakniv, one was sharp, the other wasn't as much. The third has a rubberized handle, but the spine is thinner. The price of each wasn't $1.97, but $2.92. I figured for $10 it is a good deal for cutting tools that I can abuse and practice sharpening on for when my LTWright knives need attention.

[@dayseanmensah9390]

You to buy solar power banks on Amazon that also have lights

Haha on the cheap knife joke. Im a broke prepper. I look at thrift stores for my preps. My most expensive knife i can afford is a 9 dollar knife from harbor freight. Id love to have a get home bag or a bug out bag, but that isnt in the cards. SHTF doesnt care if you are rich or poor, when it happens it happens. Love your vids, would love to see some thrift store prep vids.
