[@sootch00]

Awesome! Love the Path Finder set up. Great video and well done brother! Thanks Chris!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Thank you and god bless sir!

[@mancar97]

sootch00 team sootch :-)

[@azhinbahman5568]

What wold i do with out your tips i can not thank you enough god bless you bro

[@NitrousDiecast]

Great kit, I would add some water purification tabs, some bags of tea, and some powdered sports drink, the kind that are super small. Maybe a plastic collapsible water bag too.

[@bonniematthews2500]

Me too, the tea or instant coffee would be a nice comfort thing on the trail

[@imlookiting2184]

Highly recommend a heavy duty (6 mil) contractor trash bag in ANY survival kit. Doesn't take up much space, is light, but can definitely be a lifesaver. Shelter is first priority in my opinion.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Watch our updated video.... We made alot of change in less than 48 hours.

[@jhill4874]

I have mixed opinions on putting kit inside the water bottle. I am involved with search and rescue and I have seen victims get lost in areas where no water is available. Based on that I would recommend putting water in the water bottle. The food bar is good. On a recent SAR the subject of the search was woefully unprepared to go hiking. When we found him he was severely dehydrated. Water. The water filter is a good idea. For an "I'm lost" kit I would recommend flashlight, mirror, flare, smoke signal, matches (be careful in fire danger areas), a knife. If you need to be found, get signalling devices. As in our case, in a fire danger area generating smoke will garner the maximum attention. Next to signalling I recommend items to prevent exposure issues followed by water.

[@Fyfferealestateteam]

I agree. I think I would get rid of the big knife and add a 1 liter platypus to use with that filter as well as 2 or 4 aqua pure tablets.

[@ringerson4x4]

A one gallon zip lock freezer bag to carry all that stuff after you fill the bottle with water in an emergency situation would be a nice addition. Or a few of them.

[@michaelbova459]

Love this concept I have been working on the same thing... one for each riding position in the car. It easily fits under each seat.

[@andrewzach1921]

Looks like a good kit, the only thing that I carry in a similar bag that you didn't cover is some coffee and tea. I picked up some Foldgers instant coffee in individual packs and some tea bags. That gives you something warm to drink that will also pick you up.

[@cardiacbob]

Thanks for the Video. Like the SS water bottle. Here's a couple of suggestions to make this a tight kit. Put in a small Hand Sanitizer (dual use) and a red or orange bandanna (multi-use, including passive signaling). Its nice you could fit the Shemaug in there, but perhaps a black (or orange?) 3 Mil trash bag would be better (if you wanna keep the bandanna, tie it around the outside or ziptie it on). Drop the cheap folding knife, but Keep the ESEE (and put some 550 cord on the ESEE handle) and the SAK. Drop the smith's tool and add some green Tea bags (a warm caffeinated drink that won't dehydrate you like coffee) and some hard candy. Drop the BS boo boo kit and put in a couple bandaids and a coupla of alcohol wipes (and put your scalpel in with them in a small pill bag ziploc). Put in 50 feet of tarred bankline, and 25 feet of 550 cord. Drop the P-38 and P-51 (you got a can opener on the SAK). include a Gallon Freezer ziploc to put your stuff in when you need the bottle. Also a multi-use item. When you need that kit, put the ESEE on your belt and dummy-cord the SAK in your pocket. Put the whistle and the compass on a lanyard around your neck, then tie the bandanna around your neck. And your best survival tool is your Brain. Don't panic and have a plan. (retired US Army 11B40 and survival and field-craft instructor). P.S. I know this video is 6 years old.

[@arctodussimus6198]

Great kit. The only critique I can think of is to put the Sawyer Mini water bag in there too. You will need to put water in the bottle at some point. And you may not want to stop and build a fire to boil the water. The Sawyer water bag will allow you to quickly fill the bottle. Plus, if you put a cap from a Smart Water bottle on the Sawyer bag, you will be able to back flush the filter if needed. I always think ‘long term’ with my kits. That’s why there’s always a steel for striking flint included too. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@casualpreparedness2347]

I am the same way, you can never have too many good knives. Excellent.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Very True! lol

[@pboone1231]

Very nice job. My entire emergency bag that had my water bottle carrier attached was stolen a few weeks ago from my truck. I'm going replace the carrier so I can do something similar to what you guys did. I was more pissed about losing the carrier and its contents than I was about the big bag and its contents.

[@leprechaunbgc]

Really nice kit brother!!! I'm going to build one like this to supplement my Get Home Bag. I like how compact and portable it is. Good use of space.

[@royalangjr6770]

Simply, to the point. Thank you for not including idle chatter

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Haha. No problem.. Glad you found it straight forward

[@MrWmburr7]

I saved this video off as one of my favorites! Thanks for putting all the great links to different products. So much good information!

[@RockyRoadRage]

This is stuff you already had? None of it looks like it has ever been used, even the cook kit is pristine, smh.

[@gen-zj2mr]

Thanks for sharing. I made a similar kit. Since the Gen3 pouch is much bigger, I bought 2 round tins from Pathfinder and stacked them inside at the bottom and they all fit perfectly. I use one tin as a fire kit and the other tin for food.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Sweet!

[@JackKrei]

you hoping to find many cans out there to open? You also lost the purpose of redundancy by putting all your eggs in that one basket. I would drop half that stuff add some food and water and a real compass and a map. You don't need that many knives in the kit. Have one strapped to your leg and on your belt and one in your pocket. When I was a kid every man and boy carried a pocket knife. If you went out in the woods you put one on your belt too. I always carry a compass in the woods and in my truck, with my gun and dogs. Never ever got lost but I did get stuck out on an island when a bridge washed out. Stayed for two days. Dogs and I ate squirrels I shot and they chased to the right side of the tree. Slept in a lean to with a covered fire. Collected water in my pancho and a hole. Dogs drank puddles I dropped hot rock in my till it boiled drained through a grass filter and drank it from a bowl shaped rock. County sheriff's came out and got me and my pups with a rowboat. I'll admit I was glad unseasoned squirrel was getting old. I did break my hip knives a few times but never to the point that I couldn't still use them with a little ingenuity. But never desired a can opener even though I carry one on my keychain since my time in the service. P38 I always forget I have it and use my knife. The thing about surviving is not to freak out. Keep calm and reason it out. You need a knife and lost yours find a sharp rock or stick. Need cordage what's like cordage vines, strips of bark? Now what is your weakness, do you know the plant life in your area or the area you going to. What is edible, poisonous, and medicinal? No, well bring a first aid kit I carry one on me and a big one on my truck but I know my area pretty good now. I carry gause, duct tape and needles with fishing line. and neosporin in a tube, in my cargo pocket. If you have a deep cut look for or keep when you find Alfalfa or Yarrow and stop drinking booze if you are.

[@MrPd23322]

I would add a 1 gallon plastic zip lock baggie (the kind that has the pull along zip) and its major purpose is to line the actual water canvas carrier so you can CARRY water with the canvas carrier...cannot have enough water

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Solid points and good ideas!

[@steelhuskers1794]

Good vid. I added a military canteen pouch to the side of mine. Holds 4 of the pathfinder 12oz food containers in pouch worked better than I expected lol

[@MinimalistExplorerEDC]

It’s a great kit! You covered much of the survival needs. I think weight wise, I’d only have one fix blade knife (full tang) with a 90 degree spine, and a back up knife, folding blade… (the Swiss Army because it has a small saw). In place of those two items I’d add more flammable sources like a few fire plugs and some nested jute or waxed jute cord. Fat wood is great and I’d keep that too, but to process it solely when it’s cold out and your hands are cold, then keeping a sustainable flame going from it while trying to get your collected twigs and sticks on it… we’ve all tried it, it’s not as easy as some of these videos show and is the factor between life and death in some cases. The other suggestion is adding a SOL 90 degree heat bivy sack in place of the one emergency blanket that’s in there and the knife sharpener multi tool. You can add a small compass in place of the one in that. You’ll probably drop significant weight and add more necessary item since most are redundant x3

[@axs307]

one of the best kits of 2017 so far......Good job bro.

[@moto_av8or]

Nice kit! My way of thinking though, and this is just my opinion, if I am going to be carrying a water bottle through the woods with me, I would kind of like it to be filled with water to consume while hiking, if this is a just in case kit. If this is a car kit I would keep it exactly how it is. While making use of the space inside of the kit is a great idea to take advantage and add extra items, I would probably try to trim the kit down to a even more minimalist kit and store as much as I can in the front pouch and in the dead space in the main compartment. I have one of these condor pouches and I know you can pack a lot more into that front pouch. Also I would probably make a strap out of 550 chord and that would serve multiple uses including carrying the bag. For medical I would take advantage of the MOLLE webbing and add a medical pouch as well as a CAT TQ and carrier.

[@petehorn6705]

I think you could stick some instant soup mixes or potatoes in the front too! Awesome kit brother.

[@colinenright8879]

Haha I would have thought water would be the thing to keep in a water bottle

[@lamprozar1]

Holy crap brother I can't believe how much stuff you fit in that unreal great job thank you

[@DropForgedSurvival]

It was a very fun challenge!

[@PreparedWolf34]

Maybe some coffee filters to pre-clean water. If this will also be used in urban environments, maybe add a faucet key to tap water from buildings.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Prepare Learn Survive! All good ideas... I feel a part 2 Video for this all ready... so many people chiming in!

[@PreparedWolf34]

DropForgedSurvival Good kit & topic! Plus the needs for outdoors and urban offer many challenges.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Prepare Learn Survive! Oh yes loads of fun challenges

[@Theo_Prepper]

Nicely done but you need some way to store everything in the water bottle in that situation when you fill lit with water

[@DropForgedSurvival]

I covered that in the Very next episode after this one! Literally 2 days later.

[@StarDarkAshes]

Your fatwood looks so perfect. The one in the picture on Amazon looks way different

[@dvig3261]

all in all it's a good kit...one point to make is never put your redundant items together...lose one, lose them all...and stuff. Make several small kits to keep in different locations...Your main pack, your pockets, your belt..etc.

[@preppingwa6405]

Fantastic kit. Been building 2 of these myself with the same pathfinder set up for our two vehicles! Gonna add a few things to ours now that I hadn't thought of!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

very glad we could be helpful! this is why I love this community... creative idea sharing!

[@chuckorc]

Nice kit, gives me a bunch of ideas. I already have that cooking kit so I'd just need to round it out like you have. Thanks again for an information packed video.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

No worries at all Chuck... This was a very fun project and seeing how Mr. Jensen did his, then Don, and now myself... All three are great kits but have really unique flavors!

[@integraloutdoors]

Oh man, that stainless steel stove "table" is exactly what I was looking for. I was setting up a kit like this too but my alcohol stove wasn't big enough to hold a 40oz bottle above it, been using a cheap grate instead. BTW pathfinder's shipping is a RIPOFF! $8.25 minimum shipping for a damn stainless steel cup basically.

[@bassackwardsbushcraft8961]

Didn't look through the comments, but you've really got no good shelter. A small tarp, or even a couple 55 gallon drum liners would make life easier in combination with your space blanket and weigh next to nothing, and fit too. Shelter, water, fire, food. In that order to stay alive. If it's just a day or two, don't even need food. I really like that you used Dave's kit to start. He's really got quality gear. Just my 2 cents. Good quick video. 4 out of 5 stars!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Check my 2.0 video! We GOT ALOT of cool suggestions and comments of ideas and such so we revamped and had some more fun!

[@timmccabe503]

Great kit. Almost identical to mine. I added a Mora knife, which slides into the molle webbing and I included an SOL two person emergency blanket or 5x7 tarp like shelter.

[@jackharper3190]

I just love these shiny pots and bottles...........

[@jcreswick]

They dont stay that colour if you actually use them.... 😁

[@ModernSurvivalSense]

For a kit designed not as a bugout bag, you certainly have a lot of knives. Don't get me wrong... I love my knives and the Mrs. would say I have way too many. By removing some of the knives, you could include a secondary AA flashlight(S1A?) and more cordage(shelter building). That's also a very large piece of fatwood for a limited use kit. If you needed more room, you could always cut it down to half or less of the length. You already have a fire kit that would last you several days(and way more if planned correctly). One thing I would certainly look into is water quality testing, such as test strips for determining the presence of heavy metals in water. The ones I've seen seem to be designed as a preliminary test for the presence and not really a determination of how much is in the water, but this would let you know if you need to find a different source of water or a different filtering method(like distilling), as basic boils and filters won't eliminate heavy metals from water. Edit: Oh!! And a compact pair of gloves! For lightweight gloves, I'm a fan of the ATG MaxiFlex gloves. I have tons of experiences with them now(1000s of hours) and they work well to protect your hands for limited use up to 60+ hours.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

All Good Points.. Thanks...with that filter... my Recommendations.. Make sure the water is visually clear, water is flowing... "Stream or River, Due a visual check for trash, "Plants or Factories off in the Distance", etc.. But the this filter does such a good job... My entire family have drank from dirty non flowing water and no one became ill. We trust this filter alot!

[@brendanmackinnon6835]

i like that you picked the fieldmaster personally i feel its the best swiss army knife, swisschamp has everything but it's too big

[@FishTheJim]

I would wrap the shmaegh around the strap and put the pathfinder alcohol stove in the bag. I have this set and the alcohol stove will fit inside with this rig. I would attach a molle pouch to store extra fuel. A larger Mora fixed blade could also be molle attached on the outside plus stuff a couple of bandanas inside with some extra cotton ball/Vaseline tinder(that was for Sootch).

[@DropForgedSurvival]

I need to do an update as with my EDC Organizer video I just released.. I blew this out of the water.

[@dietersmit6639]

Got same canteen pouch which is, in combination with my backpack, actually my get home set up and on own just carry to have mainly water to my disposal and still have important items. Yet can be survival also. Contents: A. Main compartment 1. Canteen with water inside 2. Bk 16 with ferro rod 3. Bandanna 4. Rolled up wire at bottom 5. That cross tool with 4 different keys to open stuff like incomplete taps at bottom 6. 3x flat wedge nails 7. Couple of zip ties B. Small pouch 1. Joseph rogers pocket knife. My SAK Huntsman is always in my trouser pocket accompanied by small flashlight taking 1 AAA. 2. Lenser p6 core flashlight 3 AAA 3. Bic lighter 4. Bic pen 5. Pencil 6. Sharpener (many uses) 7. 4x AAA's 8. Heavy duty garbage bag 9. 3x sweats 10. Roll of insulation tape. C. Left side molly 1. 2x paracord bracelets, nice to carry pouch in hand D. Right side molly a credit card type pouch attached 1. Spork 2. Water purification tablets 3. 5x plasters 4. 4x refresher towels 5. Salt & pepper 6. Priorities of survival pocket guide 7. Compass 8. Credit card type multi tool 9. Some pills 10. Piece of note making paper

[@superessestraps]

great kit. I need that bag. but I use a lunch box as my EDC/SURVIVAL kit for camping trips

[@FredFinnerty]

Good video, great way to get people to start thinking about what they have and how they are prepared. Some good ideas in the comments, you do have some room with that bag to add a few more items, have one similar, they're great. Keep up the great work!

[@nickmartino2839]

I've been making and adding small drink and spice kits to all my bags and survival kits!!!!!maybe a couple chicken bouillon cubes!!!a drink accessory kit... comes in handy!!!

[@daddyzgirlz22]

I love this! It’s perfect bare bones survival! Totally making one

[@williamj3459]

Amazing you fit all of that in there. Great job. Thanks!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

William J Wait until we take all the constructive ideas and build upon this kit!!!

[@tkh459]

Just ran across your video's in the last week. Great job ! One suggestion... Add a small mesh cinch bag to kit. After you fill up canteen with water, you need something to put everything in and to carry. You could use the Shemagh but then you wouldn't have that to use. Thanks for the vids

[@DOJY12]

Some really good ideas here - love it. Thanks, Chris!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Jody Doyle Thanks a lot Jody

[@maguitobsso]

Love the ideas! I probably put the wistle on the molle to get it easy and add super glue. Love your videos! Greets from argentina

[@skagee3320]

wow Chris...you are right on spot with this kit....well rounded...I would feel safe with this kit....maybe attach the a knife outside and add another protein bar...but you covered it all nicely..thumbs up!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

I appreciate that you found this kit useful!

[@heathschroeder8910]

I would definitely add either one of those stand up water bags to carry water in or some type of bag (grocery bag or 2) to carry all the items in the canteen if you chose to carry water in it.

[@devonkidwell9431]

A Swiss Army knife! What the hell knowing you I expected you to have a machete in there lol! Crocodile Dundee

[@jackhaslip5101]

Small fishing kit might come in handy.

[@specialsmithchick]

Sun screen and bug repellent are important. A&D cream is a good multi use item like sun screen and rash protection. There are many bug repellents available, including natural items; but even a fabric softener sheet is good, effective & Uber lightweight. I'd also included some duck tape, if for no other use than blister prevention/relief.

[@JPA66]

I would add one thing to this kit, the fish mouth spreader to hang the pot/water bottle. Great kit! I don't think you missed anything else and that is just a personal preference to me, I like to be able to hang the pot to regulate the heat.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Not a bad idea at all.... We tried to keep things rounded out... but we miss things. It was such a fun project

[@JPA66]

I put one together right after Sootch did his video. But made mine more a day hike bag and put it in the bag like you did. Going to test mine out tomorrow we are supposed to break 60 degs again by me and should be a perfect day out in the woods.

[@mikelisenba9190]

You can also store 4 CR123 batteries in the small Altoids container.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Good idea

[@Lord_RavnFar_Tannerwise]

10 piece 5 C's survival kit: Canteen with nesting cup, large ferro rod, military poncho with liner, 100' of 550 parcord, 300' #36 bankline, sheath knife, folding saw, drawstring shoulder bag! Its got all the 5 C's and is affordable its a no BS kit straight forward, simple, effective, light weight, and most importantly affordable on any budget as a good bit of it is either easy to make at home, already laying around the home, or inexpensive to purchase!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

I follow the 10 Survival Essentials which is prioritized within the Rule Of 3's Philosophy.

[@billmiller1002]

whats he going to do with all that stuff when the water bottle is full of water and he,s on the go

[@ethanh2392]

Well in the rare event he does have to use it.. I imagine he could either put the gear in his pockets, or put them back in the molle container and carry the bottle in his hands.

[@SavageVoyageur]

He would just remove everything in the bottle and fill the bottle with water. Then put everything in the water pouch. Then clip the water bottle to the pouch with the clip. Personally I would never put anything but water in the bottle.

[@Mitigator123]

Bottom/face/knife wipes. Painkillers. Duct tape. Superglue. Water purifier tabs. Cut-resistant gloves. Saw instead of more knife redundancy. Paracord bracelet instead of loose paracord. Also, accessibility to your light is an issue, it should be up for grabs so you can easily get to it in pitch dark. Could just fit in the front compartment, or even clip to the outside of the pack. Finally, some other people have already mentioned this: where do you keep all the gear in case you actually need to fiil up the water bottle...?? Cheers!

[@stoned8110]

great idea in a compact design

[@DropForgedSurvival]

We feel it is very very useful, mobile, and a very fun project!

[@snowfish001]

6/17/20: IF you need to fill the bottle with water, where do you put all the stuff that had been stored inside? Is there enough space to store the bottle's contents inside the bottle bag? snowfish

[@bonniematthews2500]

I just asked the same question. Because it would be a nice kit for hiking for emergency but w no clear use of water on the move, i guess you'd need some additional clip to carry it outside yr pack....which defeats the purpose of the water pouch. Am i wrong?

[@dustin7562]

Very cool kit! I love your survival kit videos

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Thanks alot Dustin! I am very glad you find them useful!

[@JustMeScottG]

Really cool video! Thanks for sharing, I'm going to start putting together an EDC bag for my wife and this gives me some great ideas

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Scott Giacoppo Thank we could help give you some inspiration

[@jameshill6872]

I actually had suggested using a bottle bag on the Sensible Prepper's channel to increase what you can carry and to make carrying the kleancanteen easier.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

james hill Very cool

[@Mysfunctional_Disfits]

Maybe dump a few of the knives and keep it down to maybe 3, also there is much more in the way of fire kit and the like that you could use. I know my opinion is just that but I think that dropping a few of the more redundant items and adding more batteries and more medical supplies and definitely a tourniquet and some z fold or rolled gauze would round out your kit well. Bullion cubes for short term nutrition? Add a few multivitamins? OTC pain medications? Large heavy duty contractor trash bag? Just Ideas. I am guilty of being over redundant because I have more of a few things than others and end up being too heavy in one area more often than not.

[@Digspig]

Subscribed because you share the insane redundancy obsession I have 😂

[@oregongrownoutdoors9295]

Nice, I built one just using bottle a few weeks ago. Lots of fun

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Very cool

[@Ian-hx7tl]

Stanford Outdoor got me here... going to buy their B.O.S.S. kit shortly

[@skyym3629]

Awesome kit. You can actually back flush your Sawyer mini water filter by just finding an old plastic 20 oz. water bottle, as they are everywhere now a days. You just fill it with your filtered water and then screw it on the opposite end and squeeze it. It works exactly like the giant syringe and you save the space in your kit. Thanks for the video and info God Bless

[@mikem67]

you are missing the most important item - water. use the water bottle for water and keep the items in the pouch. you can cut down on the gear to make it fit. less knives for one. if you need all those knives and redundant redundant gear, add a Molle pouch but keep water in your bottle.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

mikem67 You should watch version 2.0

[@josephallan8791]

Spectacular kit. Fits every need and the fire backups and blade back ups are a must. Thats a very well rounded kit that i would be happy to have in a shitty situation. Awsome job bro.

[@bg4263]

nice video, i have always loved the bottle & nesting gear in the h2o pouch! really interested in the cold steel folder & the utensil setup! have to say tho, the pathfinder bottle is 32oz. instead of 40oz. "Compact Survival Kit System using a 40oz Stainless Steel Canteen Bottle!" off to watch upgrade video now!

[@jmtnvalley]

Water purification tabs, fire starter (lint/vasoline cotton/etc), coffee filter (better water filter for tabs/boiling). All light and small.

Great ideas... Have you seen our 2.0 Variant yet?

[@michaelbowley5065]

Not too shabby, my personal preference is to keep water in the bottle and not the equipment. That being said my smallest kit is in a UTG satchel. Keep up the videos, I enjoy watching them.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Michael Bowley That is why it is there... Not putting water in there would be a waste of such a great piece of kit and storage

[@michaelbowley5065]

I've done it for backpacking when I needed an extra vessel for camping but I don't go anywhere with an empty water bottle. Just a different point of view

[@DropForgedSurvival]

This is meant as a grab and go... set it and forget it... If you to bolt out of dodge "NOW!" you can. If you are on naked and afraid... you may have a hard time with kit... but people who can do the simple things... like put one of the knives in your pocket, wear the shemagh, and so on will be easily able to make room to fill their bottle with water. Not really a different point of view at all

[@mjadro]

Instead shemagh, you could take big trash bag for shelter or small poncho if it gets rainy.

[@mtnman4766]

Great little kit. Definitely provides a lot of necessities. My first view of your vids. New subscriber! Will be watching. Thanks!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Welcome aboard!

[@erroleabrown4317]

[@luisantoniomarrega1120]

[@ralphheron6537]

canteen survival kit. what an interesting video. look forward to more. good luck.

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

nice kit, i like wrapping some duct tape around the center of my sawyer filter. nice to keep some around if you ever need to patch up any rips etc

[@DropForgedSurvival]

sneakpeep nice thinking!

[@akiramorita4455]

Great video thoroughly enjoyed watching

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Awesome.. Glad you found it entertaining

[@robbabcock_]

You have some good gear in there but personally I don't think there's anything in the water bottle that would be as useful in a survival situation as 32 oz of water. If you need to use it for water what will you do with all the gear?

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Pockets... just a simple pre emergency grab and go.

[@robbabcock_]

Yeah, I guess if you've got enough pocket room for all that crap. The problem is that when you get in the shit, that's the time to already have water- not the time to go looking for it. Then again, I guess I don't know what part of the country you call home. In the PNW you would probably just need something to collect it. In the American southwest you had better have the water with you. I really like the new version of the Pathfinder bottle bag. I have two of them in fact with kits built around them. Mine have 4.5" x 7" x 2" pockets MOLLE'd on both sides for extra storage while still keeping it reasonably light. On the front I have a magazine pouch for a small light and there's a Mora attached to the front pocket PALS webbing. My main complaint is that I wish the webbing went up the side higher and I wish there other colors besides just tan/coyote. Still it's a great pack.

[@kevinmarinucci1309]

that's awesome, I just started one my self. but I'm going to have to make some changes.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Remember to have fun with this challenge!

[@nickmartino2839]

Sootch is the man!!!!!!

[@3vil3lvis]

Had that lightmyfire fatwood... turned it into a handles for a pair of 1/2 x 5 ferro rods.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

3vil3lvis Pretty darn neat!

[@josephpettus8733]

Cool video man! Nice setup you have there! Hope you and your family have an awesome weekend

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Thanks alot Joe!

[@Prepping2endure]

Awesome Kit.. May i suggest adding maybe a few of the folgers coffee sticks to go along with your protein bar? after all you have the cup

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Prepping2endure I don't drink coffee. But for others... not a bad idea at all

[@joeallen2354]

Way to much redundancy in fire starting and cutting tools, not enough cordage, and not enough in the cover department.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

This is massively outdated buddy. Watch our newest episode.

[@timkitzmann1814]

I totally enjoy these type of vids, but, I would HAVE water already in my water bottle in case I am in a situation where I am unable to procure any water. Water is life.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

All good points... whether a puddle or a toilet... if you can find water... the sawyer will have your back

[@timkitzmann1814]

true that.

[@dillonjung4554]

Nice job. I got the military canteen coolest from pathfinder school and really like it.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Nice!

[@05Rudey]

Trade in a few knives for a 500 ml Seven Oceans pouch of Emergency water. A nice drink before all the hard work begins wouldn't hurt.

[@grantglenndale152]

Ok, nice bare bones kit, NOW, please show me your 72 hour survive until rescue with just that kit and the clothes you have on. I would add a small pocket tarp/blanket YES this is a challenge :)

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Already in the Works... But... That is a very expensive video... "I run a business" so finding the time will be a fun task in itself

[@grantglenndale152]

I subbed in anticipation :) BTW I did do a 72 hour survive til rescue and made a vid of it.....but I will wait to see yours and I will upload mine. of the 7 needs, I failed miserably in 1 but still survived the ordeal.

[@nonyabizz9390]

I have that same cooking kit. One thing I noticed? I had room in the main compartment to put a full sized folding saw in there. Aside from that? This makes me want to experiment with my set up some, but I don't really have many ideas yet. Just gonna try out combos, see what I can fit for as little weight as possible, and then see how I think it all looks.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Awesome! That is the point of these kit builds.... to get the brain juices churning and experiment on your own to find out what works and what doesnt!

[@nonyabizz9390]

not EDC or ever a bug out bag (I should maybe re-organize what I have into one or the other), but inspired partially from your video, I made a video of what I have, and how it is packed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4CzimWOocqipZo

[@davidcordova1500]

Good kit with well selected, quality items. My only concern is where do you put all those items if you need to actually carry water in the bottle? Using the bottle as a storage container is a great space saving idea, but once deployed in a survival situation can you spread those items out on your person without it becoming a carrying issue? Other than that question I really think this is an impressive kit.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

David Cordova check my 2.0 version

[@azhinbahman5568]

Cool i will start building my own kit just like yours

[@willames363]

Great kit concept, Chris! Thanks, I am going to having to work on making one.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Awesome.. We are eager to see what you come up with!

[@willames363]

Might have to share to fb since I don't have the equipment to really make vids, I'll work on it though.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Use your phone and download the "KZbin Creator App" and your done! all you need is WIFI!

[@CH-jq8kq]

With your kit being that full. If you need to carry any water in your water bottle. How will the rest fit in your survival kit. And keep it all in there???

[@benh5749]

i would include a ziplock bag or 2.

[@wesleyl4283]

Put everything in the bottle pouch, pin the pouch to your belt, carry the bottle in your hand. Still one hand free 😉
