Rubber bands are so much under appriciated. Luckily not in a survival situation, but i used to Carry a small Bag of Rubber bands in different sizes. Always came handy. Especially sometimes zipties fail. I had a situation where I realized all of my spare zipties were useless as all of their clamps were broken out under months of storage

What I like about this bag is the extra pockets. You can tuck so many useful things away in them! Some of the included items are iffy, but the redundancy on both the fire and light is good. Not liking that it doesn’t include a decent knife or multi tool, but you added one, that helps. It’s a good starter survival kit, but it could be so much better off the shelf.

Additions were great, I was amazed they didn't put a knife or super cheap multitool in originally. Would love to add Bandana, Safety Pins, Threaded needle (or sewing kit) and Antibiotic cream which are also common household items. That bag also had some great straps on the bottom, if you had a small stuff sack you could store some bulky items there.

This video brings me back in time to Pre-Pandemic when we had three young troops all attending different levels of the same school. The Philippine De-Ed (Department of Education put out a request for parents to send an emergency bag to school with each child. The kits would be kept in storage at the school. We went overboard to be sure our young troops were well prepared to fend for themselves, at least 72 hours or until we could get to them or send transportation. We do run regular training exercises as a family to be ready for flooding, earthquake, and occasionally volcanic activity. The most important part of the equation is knowing what to do with what you have. Our goal was to provide comfort in the worst of scenarios, including buildings on the school campus collapsing. No question about it, the kits were way too heavy for hiking trips but survival/comfort was the main goal. All of the children knew what to take and what to leave behind when they were ready to exit the campus. They had maps with alternative routes marked for our home and their GrandMother's home in the opposite direction in case the main roads became impassable. Again, we always planned to pick them up or send a trusted person. It would be an extreme case for the three of them to have to make any move on their own. One thing super important here in the Phils is to have cash! This is a cash-based society. The power can go out but the Sari Sari stores on every street corner will usually stay open no matter what unless they run out of stock. Customize your kit according to your operating area and the needs of the user.

Loved the Chicago screw idea. Add a fold up grocery bag. Then put the water you took out into the bag. Think of it like a foraging bag. It also allows you to expand your carrying ability. I have a army surplus medic bag that I roll up and strap to the out side of the back pack. This allows me to redistribute the gear and free up internal space as well more foraging space. I found pretty cheap Solar/winding small flash lights that have a clip. No batteries needed. Also, add a can opener (the old school one that is flat and has a bottle opener on one end and a triangle cutter on the other end). You can easily convert any can into a hobo stove. Last item, get any folding saw. Walmart gardening pruning saw will do. Not great, but will help a ton on fire prep and shelter stuff.

Tourniquets are important to have easily accessible. If you have an arterial bleed, You've got about 4-6 minutes to live and you'll only be awake for half of them. Having one in the bottom of your bag is almost as bad as not having one at all. Also, I always include a water bottle. Single walled steel is best but you need something besides bags for transporting water. I'd also include one or 2 backpacker meals. This is strictly for morale. People feel more secure with a full stomach. I personally carry 2 cups each of (beans, rice, oats, lentils, freeze-dried vegetables/fruit and self rising flour) a handful of salt and sugar packets, some bullion cubes, a couple of spices, tea, hot chocolate and coffee. I've made that last up to six days. I also like a wool blanket and a change of clothes or at least a warm sweater.

I have purchased a few items from Stealth Angel. I would say the most useful have been the portable solar chargers. The military style compass I have seems to be fairly accurate but the luminous dial is useless. Not very bright and the numbers are too small to read without reading glasses so it isn't worth squat for nighttime navigation. Haven't used the modular entrenching shovel for anything yet so I don't know how durable it is. The one thing I don't like about the back packs is they don't have fastex buckles so you can get them out of the way when unzipping. But if you are looking for cheap stuff that is disposable, Stealth Angel is a good start. Just do what this guy does and add your own stuff.

I think you bring up an interesting point. A lot of people put far too much value in the bag they carry as if they plan to live in the mountains for a month. As long as you're not doing the same stuff the military does for several weeks at a time, almost any backpack will do, even cheapo Chinese knockoffs, even in an emergency. I'm not saying to only buy cheap stuff, but for people new to this stuff, they don't need a $450 Mystery Ranch backpack, or even a $180 5.11 bag. They can go to Walmart or Academy or some other outdoors place and still get a solid backpack for 50 bucks. Anyway, that's just my unwarranted/random internet guy opinion

No metal cup for boiling water, no cutting tool (that credit card multi-tool is junk!), no trauma kit items.... I'd keep the bag, the flashlight, one of the two bags of water pouches, the masks, the 1st-Aid kit, one of the food blocks, the water purification tablets, hygiene can be a big moral booster. Keep that. Keep the gloves, the hand-crank radio with built-in flashlight. Toss in a small powerbank for your Smartphone and the included crank radio. (Interesting how you get a charging cable but nothing to plug it into.) Put a hank of 550 paracord in there. Wear the bracelet. Couple of Mini-Bic lighters in bright colors, toss those in there. Replace that El Cheapo compass with one that is liquid-filled. Replace the tube-tent with a tarp. That tube-tent is clearly made for one person. So that 2nd person better be your wife or girlfriend because she's going to be sleeping literally on top of you if you actually need to use that tent. I'm sorry but when the words _"It's better than nothing."_ are constantly mentioned in a review, for a lot of folks out there, this is going to be a kit to avoid. For everything that needs to be removed, added, and done to this kit post-purchase to get it up to a decent standard; if this was a $75.oo kit.... might be worth picking up. For $120.oo, that's too much. Especially a kit that size, no fixed-blade knife no stainless steel metal cup? No way! I mean a cup from Wal-mart (18 oz. S.S.) is under $6.oo. A Mora 511 Basic fixed-blade (3.5" blade) is $10.oo easily online. Both should have been included considering the Asking Price for this kit.

Great video. I would test out those tins from your medicine before actually putting them in there. They could be coated with some toxic chemical that you don't want to burn off or they could not be as "metal" as you think they are and easily burn up.

Maybe add something for panic attacks (you never know). And an entertaining thing like dice or cards.

Didn’t you comment on one of your videos about having a Huge collection of Swiss Army Knife’s? Felix Immler has a huge channel on projects you can do using just a Swiss Army Knife. He’s actually Swiss by the way. He’s also got every mod known to god on modifying the knifes. Love spiral cut fries? His last project is using a SAK and a tin can to cut them up.

Curious about why you got rid of the water and kept all the food when having water is more vital, as you said yourself and we all understand. They didn't seem to be much difference size wise. Also, the extra pair of safety goggles should have gone in. Just consider 9/11 dust clouds or wildfires and dust storms particulates, when eye protection would be extremely helpful. Aside from those points, KUTGW

I would have made the same choice as him for the water bags. Water is heavy to carry (i am a woman so i am trying to make my 72h bag extra light, there is no way i can evacuate with it otherwise) and depending on where you live you may not need to secure a big quantity of safe water if you have a way to filter some... and i would keep some food too. Yes we can survive without it but if your escape plan includes walking quite a lot, eating some calories will help. That being said, these survival biscuits are heavier than other options.

As much as I enjoy your videos, I don't understand your logic. You take out water to make room, but you don't break a lot of your items down, or remove bulky packaging. Good video.
