Esee pocket survival tin

[@patrickmuhwheeney6518]

Seems like 1 or 2 ranger bands on the outside would be an inexpensive and really useful thing they could have added...

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

Yea I would strap two ranger bands and a space blanket to the outside on one side and a water bag on the other side plus drop some purification tablets in the kit.

[@pastrybaker72]

On another note, the Hurley tshirt is 🔥

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

Thanks bro I have a nice collection of Hurley T shirts and hats some of them are 15 years old I’ve had them since I was in school

@JohnH-rd3xy 0 seconds ago I've actually bought that same kit over the past couple of years as gifts to the boys in the family. Three, maybe four times. Serious on this....five/six at a time. I always liked that kit. Still do! OK, critique: it has the basics knife, fire, and cordage. If you wanted to change or upgrade, work on those three first! Nice items, though. Next step is water purification and a container to use for water. Tablets, powders, or even iodine/betadine prep pads and a ziplock bag. Next step is coverage, nutrition, and signaling. The missing part in that is you putting a survival blanket on the back of the tin with rubber bands and adding a whistle. Nutrition wise, add a single packet of salt and one of sugar. Great vid, Brent! Enjoyed it!

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

Thanks you I appreciate it and it’s good to see you back again watching and another comment! All the additional items you mentioned are excellent choices and that’s awesome you picked these up for family gifts. Esee makes good knives and this kit is all quality stuff. A survival blanket is always easy to add I always use two ranger bands. One on each end so it doesn’t snag going in my pack or pocket. They are hard to get on because of how sticky they are to the packaging but it also keeps them from slipping off. Thanks again see you on the next one!

[@Mini-Survival-Tins]

You can use a square foot of tin foil or heavy duty tin foil to hold water for aqua tabs or just boil water

[@JohnH-rd3xy]

Measure the box width and make that a square. Make up a cube form out of basswood to fit your measurements and preform your foil into a cup. Carefully fold your cup flat and ranger band it to the can along with your blanket. I like pie tin aluminum sheet.

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

@@JohnH-rd3xythanks man that’s a great idea I definitely wanna try that out for sure!

[@puppiesarepower3682]

Just buy a pack of aquatabs and call it a complete kit. I am so tired of people lamenting about those dam purification tabs on every single kit reviewed. I plan to make a survival kit made up entirely of aquatabs, a condom, and the most expensive Victorinox multi-tool, just to make everyone happy.

[@Semeion7]

nice little kit

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

Thanks it was a cool one to review. Thanks for coming back again!

[@MrPetroff1975]

Needs matches or mini bic. Also sewing kit should be added. Some duct tape would be good wrapped around the card.

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

I like all those ideas a mini bic is the ultimate fire solution as long as the fluid stays in there it’s awesome

[@puppiesarepower3682]

Green isn't necessarily for night sensitivity. The human eye is most sensitive to green, it allows the eye to transition quickly from a bright situation to a dim one while allowing it to begin adjusting to low light conditions without waiting as one needs with red light. Red light is still the best one for retaining dark sensitivity, but items under red light appear dim to eyes just coming out of a brightly lit situation.

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

Green light is also more calming to an animal than white light and some animals can not see it at all they see more of a grey color which make it a good option for night hunting

[@frankyturrizo4240]

That Trail Venture kit was much better . Will you make an Altoid kit? I'd like to see it . The derma safe razor is about one dollar . I'd add a water bag and pure tabs, or HD foil to boil and drink water

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

Awesome additions dermasafe razors went rouge for a while and I couldn’t even find them the razors once in a while for 10 bucks or so and the saws were basically extinct maybe they are coming back but beyond that I have my own kit made up and I am going to do it after all these other kits are gone and I’m actually going to sell a few of them on the website when it is up! Thanks for the ideas!

[@frankyturrizo4240]

@whitetailsurvival2430 cool, I'll watch for sure ... EBAY has like 50 different sellers for Derma safes , almost all China lol .. it's usually $12 for 10 of them .

[@LostLittleElf]

ESEE doesn't skimp on quality. Might swap the Derma-Safe razor for a Victorinox Classic and the wire saw for a Sawzall blade. Thank you for the great reviews on all these small survival kits.

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

No problem at all I enjoy making them. There is also going to be an outdoor test portion it should be fun. Then the best of the best I will probably do an overnight with just the kit so there’s definitely more to come thanks for watching stick around like and subscribe if you want to see more I still have quite a few to go

[@gordontyree4308]

I would add a whistle man’s a small boo boo kit. Wire saws are junk. Ditch the wire saw and use that space for more important gear.

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

I feel like I answered this comment one already but I like the ideas you have put fourth! Good ideas and thanks for the view and comments

I like your idea sounds like a good use of space!

[@frankyturrizo4240]

Genuine question: if you make a wire saw into a bow-saw is it still junk? Also what if you get a quality one? I've only messed with them a little

[@gordontyree4308]

Military issue wire saws are superior to the cheap, made in China garbage that usually comes in these pre-made survival kits. Sometimes hard to find, but worth the effort for a USGI wire saw.

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

@@gordontyree4308 I opened another kit and it had a British SAS survival wire saw and it felt about the same as this one

[@gordontyree4308]

@@whitetailsurvival2430 I wish there was room in the tin for SAK like the biker! It has an awesome saw. I guess if your careful with the better quality wire saws you can make it work for short term survival situations. Thanks! Love your channel!

[@justinthomas226]

Honestly a victoronox classic SD would be a much better addition than that derma razor.

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

Yea they are an awesome little knife I carry a mini champ once in a while that would be an awesome addition. I have classic SDs in the mini kits I’m going to be selling

Absolutely I have a Instagram set up as whitetail survival you can follow me on there then send me a private message I can respond there!

[@SubUrbanNinja-EDC]

I wish they would put a real pocket knife like a Victorinox Walker that has a saw would be way more useful than that razor.

[@dirtyscoundrel2013]

I put a farmer in a kit I'm building for someone

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

If Esee puts a knife if there kit it automatically raises the price to 100 dollars minimum 😂 but your right for sure a little Swiss Army knife or small folder like a Gerber paraframe would be good addition to this kit for sure!

[@frankyturrizo4240]

The Walker is hard to find for under $100 (ebay) the Walker is always out of stock on the official website ..

[@dirtyscoundrel2013]

@@whitetailsurvival2430 Very true. The knife I made for the sardine tin would add at least 75 if I were to sell the kit.

I am concerned….what is going on with your fingernails? Unusual color and sores around your cuticles. Hope you see a Dr. about it. And why are your fingernails so short? Concerning the kit, I would definitely drop the wire saw, and see if I could fit a short chainsaw on of similar design, one that cuts in both directions.

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

I put temporary hair dye in my daughters hair with no gloves on and it dyed my fingers and nails for about a week now it’s just the nails left pink now waiting for the rest of the dye to go away. I keep my nails short because nails are the dirtiest nastiest thing on the humans body. I work with my hands in all different situations in the construction industry so my fingers get dry and hooked on pointy stuff all the time I can’t handle the skin hanging so I pull it off. I don’t wear gloves or use lotion so it is what it is brother. I’m not a pampered dimepiece I don’t like girly long nails and I don’t work in an office so that doesn’t work for me. Wipe your ass in a portapotty one time and tell me you wanna keep your nails long. Work on one greasy project like an engine or tractor PTO and you would be disgusted seeing that grease for a month. It doesn’t matter what you do it doesn’t come out. Beyond that I see the wire saw becoming a problem in these kits half the people love them half the people hate them. That’s a great idea!

[@dirtyscoundrel2013]

Mini bic, matches, fresnel, better ferro, whistle, water purification. Honestly this one of the worst kits ive seen contents wise. And for that price 😮 no ty.

[@whitetailsurvival2430]

There are definitely worse one out there I have a couple to go over that aren’t the best but still marked as a survival kit so that’s what it’s going to be shown as 😂 I can’t wait for them comments

[@dirtyscoundrel2013]

@@whitetailsurvival2430 Lol should be interesting I think the worst I've seen so far is the shade pocket capsule or the one that came in the handle of a Rambo #1 copy. It's cut down to only 13 inches and the kit came in a capsule. A mom bought for her son who was going to a survival school. I tried to convince her to get a real knife but no. Despite having to regrind it, the nut holding the blade to the handle kept coming loose. And you could see light through where it joined. I epoxied it in place then poured epoxy around it. The kit had three matches a strike pad so tiny it was useless the cut off ends of four matches that made me think. They were floats for the one fishing rig which had six feet of line. Not much else. I made a bag to fit on the handle and loaded it up with stuff proven to work plus medical. Then sealed it. I'd hate to be lost or hurt with just the gear they gave

[@charlessalmond7076]

Unless I'm mistaken, the ferro rod is a "Rat Match". Its half magnesium and half ferro rod. If im correct about what it is, there actually really good for a kit this size.

[@puppiesarepower3682]

Dirtyscoundrel you know and I know you want a kit made up of nothing but aquatabs.
