LEGIT Walmart Survival Kit: Homemade & Includes Knife, Water Filter, Tarp, Fire 🔥, Fishing Kit

[@2laughandlaugh]

I did my own Wal-Mart challenge. I bought a bag of cheese puffs...ate them in the car behind the store then fell asleep. Mission success.

[@NitrousDiecast]

I would add some tea bags, a couple pairs of wool socks, and a metal cup to boil water… and make a tea.lol…

[@Coffee4Callie]

You can also use the tea bags on wounds for anti-inflammatory, you don't need to open them, just wet used ones 😊

[@partnah2887]

that energy sword in the background gives you a like from me automatically bro 👍

[@boydman68]

Add a small bottle of hand sanitizer for hygiene as well as fire starter. Maybe some small candles or trick birthday candles too. My Walmart sells the UCO stormproof matches and this time of year you can get "fatwood" where they stock Duraflame logs. Snare wire in the picture hanger aisle.

[@joshuabennett7334]

I recommend using braid fishing line in your kit it is more versatile you can use it for sewing heavy materials like nylon an leather it hold well it also makes a better utility cord than monofilament line

[@turnerdan53]

Do be careful with the braded line as it will cut you if it is dragged across the skin.

[@JDale56]

Those cheapo headlamps are great - I bought about a dozen of them some years ago for $1 apiece. I keep them in all my tool kits, night stand, truck, etc. One came in real handy when I bought an old car which had no instrument lights - wrapped the strap around the steering column and the flip up feature illuminated the instrument cluster perfectly.

[@paulrotledge9276]

I'm a Eagle Scout and your kit is legit. I would have added a cheap calapsable canteen (2 bucks) a cheap ozark trail tensatic compass and a 5 buck first aid kit. I like your aluminum "cooking pot". Yup could do a lot with what you put together.

[@allenarquette248]

Pretty good. Kit yes I would use it

[@de8851]

Having a candle is a really good idea also.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Nice idea. I like that.

[@dentonsbackyardshow1013]

A person can pack a good kit from walmart stuff if you know good from junk .great video

[@shovelhead8]

Pretty good kit for Walmart. Thank you for showing it to us, Tim. Stay safe and stay warm

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks man

[@joekasperek1086]

I think you have everything just about covered. It would be great to see a video of you using it all on an overnight. Thanks Tim

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Not a bad idea

[@OldPackMule]

I second that. Just a short overnight get-home style.

[@denisdeisinger2414]

Yes a winter overnight

[@charlessalmond7076]

That would make great content!

[@mrhalfstep]

I've used many of those products myself and find they do what they are meant to do. The headlamp you bought is a great bargain at 99 cents. I have them stashed everywhere. The lures are a good idea too, but I use one of the Gulp products in a jar. They have maggots, redworms, leaches and they're scented. I think you may have missed the point on the Spiderwire. I think folks were probably trying to steer you towards the braided type of Spiderwire, not sure if it's called braided or if they use another term, but it isn't mono. It's much thinner for its test rating than monofilament so you can either select a test weight that is high to use as multipurpose cordage and still have a diameter that is small enough that it may not spook fish or you can get a light test line just for fishing that would be very thin and would improve your chances of catching a fish by being nearly invisible. It's more expensive but it's worth it. If nothing else, 5 or 10 yards could be carried and 2 -3 foot long pieces can be tied to the inner strands of the 550 cord to provide a near invisible leader on a strong cord. The thinner diameter will allow you to sew a strong stitch with your needles as well. The only other thing I'd change is the hand warmers. Toe warmers get much hotter than hand warmers in the open because they are designed to work in a boot where there isn't much air. They get plain HOT in a pocket or stuffed in a jacket. Try one and you'll never buy hand warmers again.

[@OldPackMule]

Love this list. May I make one recommendation? Carry at least one 1L Smart Water bottle (even an empty). You can put dirty water in it and screw the Sawyer directly on top for a squeeze filter (hiker style). Even better, the 750ML sport bottle has a squirt nozzle that can be used to back flush the Sawyer when it starts to clog. Also about $1.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Nice thought. I like that idea for both carrying and because it works with the Sawyer.

[@morganblackheart9468]

Hopefully I don't sound like a know it all, but I do want to say that the Sawyer mini does fit on all standard soda bottles so now you don't have to limit yourself to just smart water water bottles. I take a two liter soda bottle with me for that reason! Hell if you have the space for it take two two liter bottles so you can keep a total of a gallon of water on hand.

[@morganblackheart9468]

But unfortunately it doesn't have the back flush option like you mentioned.

[@JAB671]

Great video! I have a few of those lightweight backpacker tarps in various 'just in case' kits here and there. On at least some of them I reinforced the grommets by putting strips of the narrow Gorilla tape on both sides then punching a hole through the tape in the center of the grommet. Figure the last thing I need if I have to use it is it ripping out. Also there is room in the stuff sack they come in to put in a space blanket like you showed, four very small bungee cords and (iirc) four tent stakes if you use the smaller ones that are hooked at one end - like the cheapo kind that come with most Coleman or Ozark Trail tents. Chris Tanner at Prepared mind 101 did a video a couple of years back where he took a similar tarp (actually think it MIGHT have been the same tarp) and attached one of those lightweight space blankets to one side to create a very lightweight, compact (but obviously not as durable) version of a Grabber type blanket that still folds down small enough to fit in the stuff sack. I wish Walmart sold tourniquets! The DO sell bleed stop, however - or I guess they still do - I've seen it in both the first aid section near the pharmacy and in sporting goods. They also sell, in the kitchen section, what they call 'flour sack' towels. They are 100% cotton, maybe a bit larger and maybe a little thicker than most bandanas. Would probably make a decent triangular bandage substitute - I've tried it just to see and they are (just barely) big enough to make a sling for an injured arm.even on my large-ish frame. Walmart also sells various sizes of bank line in the fishing section where the catfishing stuff is so that would be another cordage option.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Great comments - very thought-ful - much appreciated!

[@charlessalmond7076]

I live by a pretty good sized lake in Georgia. The wally world by me recently stopped selling bank line. I'm not sure why. I know I've personally bought in the double digits of #36 rolls from them.

[@markmullen9919]

I always have a waterproof backpack cover in my bag. Keeping your items dry is a very nice luxury. And that Gerber Prodigy is one of the best deals Walmart sells!!

[@oddsavage]

I love these types of vids. One thing I would add would be some pills. They are literally the smallest and lightest things you could carry, so put em in. Asprin (for heart) Anti-D (cuz if you need it....), and Benadryl (allergic reactions are real!) and also non-drowsey allergy meds, something for anti pain (NSAIDs are best) and you're good to go!

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Nice - yes, more meds are a nice addition for sure.

[@DEBSTAH29]

Tylenol

[@Turbogto_guy]

Thanks for the reminder. I already had extra prescription medication I’m on in my bag but I forgot ibuprofen and Tylenol. Just added.

[@SebastianSynn18252]

Nice well thought out budget kit. I will say that Camillus knife is not bad at all for the price. I bought one on a whim and for day trips I use it more than my expensive blades

[@RambosMullet79]

I did the exact same thing! I've modified my kit over the past 2 years, but its all from Walmart, and has been tested when I go camping. I've recently added a pellet rifle and recurve bow for hunting. Good stuff! 👍

[@oddsavage]

Oh, also, a couple packs of instant espresso. Super light weight source of caffeine and helps warm you up.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Nice. That would be a nice addition

[@johnlhigh]

Ready to see you use it. Good vid! 5 C's are always a must in any kit...

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Me too. Busted knee is slowing me down.

[@nickmiller1617]

Loved it. Would add socks though

[@andrewconroy274]

You can also use the trash bags and cordage to make a few trap for drinking water

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

True.

[@laanierhae]

Built my first bag with Walmart items and some Dollar Store items. All useful stuff.

[@harryruffner]

Hey Tim... love the Videos. listen, another writing implement I put in my survival kit just in case my sharpie goes dry , is a Crayon. rugged and they write on anything. you can break them in half to save space or use several colors.

[@georgeg7840]

Good, you thought of including lip balm. I understand you wanted off the shelf items but I would replace the individual sewing needles with a pre-threaded needle sealed in a straw (DIY), maybe 2-3. I include a couple of mini safety pins and a papeclip in the ones I make.

[@BigMex777]

My Walmart has bankline and I’d add that too. Great video

[@charlessalmond7076]

Great little tarps for what they are. I reinforced the corners and treated it twice with waterproofing. Liked it enough I bought a second one! For a poncho they sell a Frogg Toggs emergency poncho for five bucks. Great take on a wally world kit. Keep'em coming!

[@connornelson7196]

Thank you for your videos it gives me something to do with my dad

[@vjordan1709]

I have a " get home bag" in my car at all times because it's old and I drive through about 30 miles of back roads with no phone service to get to work. I have built a kit, mostly from Walmart and tractor supply that I have tested. The tarp is the same one you have and it is small, but it works well. I also have a hammock, 3 ways to start fire, tools for processing firewood, food, water in the form of an off the shelf 1 1/2 litter bottle of deer park water, small stove and a surplus aluminium cookset. It all fits in a sling pack, and should last me at least 3 days in the mountains where I live .

[@vjordan1709]

@Rick Christopher Cool man, what mountains are you in? I'm in north Georgia.

[@vjordan1709]

@Rick Christopher I just had to use this kit in real life last Wednesday. Following gps, got a notification to turn and follow for x miles. Phone dies as I'm waiting for the next instruction. Realize I'm lost and pull in to an old Baptist Church parking lot. Turn off the car as a matter of habit. Look for my charger cord, can't find it. Try to start the car again and it won't! Dead battery on the phone, car won't start and I'm 35 miles from home. Dark and getting cold and I am lost. Stay the night in the car for 14 hours at 23 degrees. I wish that I had included a blanket! Instead I used my stove to make a couple of cups of coffee, a cup of warm water, and also to warm up the car. Would have probably died of hypothermia if I didn't haven't it. Walked about 6 1/2 miles the next morning to get to a place that I could call my wife and let her know I was ok and get some help!

[@joesmith4222]

Great video. Outdoor Products makes a wide variety of backpacks at a good price with a lifetime guarantee. Mostly all my backpacking and survival equipment comes from Walmart. That Camilus knife you show is amazing quality for the price. Been using the same one for 3 years now. It's good. In the boating department you can get a small air horn for $6 to scare away bears or call for help.🎄

[@lordfairfaxpreparedness]

I have a "Walmart" Camillus fixed blade knife in one of my kits. It's actually a solid little knife. While the Gerber is a better quality blade, the Camillus will work well. Love mine! "Container" one of the 5 Cs of Survival, while the loaf pan may only be a couple bucks and work for boiling water or cooking food, there IS a canteen cup which will fit the cheap water bottle/Nalgene water bottles and costs about $5.

[@sixpakshaker88]

I use the Camillus as a paring knife, and for everything else than a butcher knife in my house. Great buy for $10.

[@hamsworld7279]

Right! I was skeptical when I first got mine, but after a year or so of torture and the only thing is it needs to be sharpened more often... it's a no brainer. Good knife for the price, can't say that for other knives at that same lrice

[@nightowl7052]

Also another cool thing about the Sawyer filter is it has threads on end that will screw on water bottles like Life water bottle, so you can fill Sawyer bag put filter on one end and screw empty water bottle on other end and squeeze filter water right into your water bottle.

[@cscat19]

Rooster tail rocks. Swiss army knife, check ! Charging cable. I have a lit mobile charger , has a light on it too. Thanks Tim.

[@turnerdan53]

In the fabric department you can buy I think they are 1 ft squares of fabric instead of the bandana so you also have something to make char cloth with.

[@kevinschmith9379]

Nice Godzilla 😺

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Yeah Godzilla rocks!

[@CademanLillywhite]

I can never get enough of these types of videos 😁

[@sixpakshaker88]

I use that Camillus hunting knife as a kitchen knife. Works great for everyday tasks. Then use my harder to maintain knife while doing bushcraft.

[@lesliemiller5790]

in regards to the SAK, you should get one that has a saw on it. Also, you should have a small folding saw or a saw blade from hardware. A saw is very useful in any survival or camping situation.

[@mitchelltakacs7806]

Thank you! Great low cost survival kit!

[@truegamer2819]

this is gonna be a very helpful video when everything hits the fan, its best to grab these items, as soon as possible to be prepared

[@denettedaniels3914]

I love what you have set-up

[@Awesome_Force]

For me, the most valuable information here was using a zip lock bag to carry water. I don't know how that never occurred to me before. It would be easy to have multiple of those bags in a backpack too.

[@morganblackheart9468]

Get the ones with the flat bottom so you can fill it and store it without dumping it

[@Bruce6001]

There to fragile, good for keeping matches or socks dry

[@justinhobbs3091]

I would add a tide on the go stick for stains on clothes they work really good and i always carry one in my bugout bag

[@markdentoneagles5909]

Good video, I really like the victorinox swiss army knife. It is very versatile and is part of my EDC. Semper Fi

[@justinyoung7866]

I own several coast flashlights, bought the G20 and G34 from walmart. I would recommend the 34 over the 20 anyday. Overall they are both great, tough lights but the 34 is much brighter and lasts longer.

[@bigredmoto5042]

love the energy sword from halo

[@davebrown1358]

Love the channel. For carry storage try a dry bag .

[@Crowe828]

I think a small waterproof container for the lighter and other fire starter material to keep dry just in case its pouring rain or your bag falls in the creek

[@joeyslam605]

Love these videos man I would love to see more. Long time subscriber. Keep it up!

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks for checking it out Joey

[@Rougrou1597]

Braided Fishing line it can be used for stitches

[@markfletcher8084]

I enjoyed the video. I would still want a steel cup to heat water and/or food.

[@gunsofmasseffect4321]

I would invest in the Stanley cook set with the Ozark Trail stainless steel nesting cup and the Ozark Trail 4 in 1 stove.

[@nonservitium]

Those little $1 headlamps are actually pretty good. I have 3 of them floating around. Not very bright, but they last quite a while.

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Good to know this. Thank you for sharing

[@jacksonteller1337]

If you go for the Victorinox pick one with a saw they are great. I daily carry the Fieldmaster.

[@tfeltonjr]

I did a similar kit but went with the Victorinox Camper for the saw. I also like the corkscrew better than the Phillips head screw driver since in 30 + years of playing in the Rocky Mountains I have yet to see a Phillips head in the woods and none of my gear uses them either. LOL

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Lol - well played about the Phillips head

[@garyherring2485]

Always enjoy your video s hope all is well GOD Bless

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thank you! You too!

[@andrewroebuck6205]

I would definitely change the gloves the rubber coating yes it has good texture to it but they get very cold and I would have put in a nicer container to hold it all and maybe a dry bag

[@tedsamuels3203]

I think 🤔 this video was very helpful and Wal-Mart does have a water bag that's pretty good, it's tough made,very light and can be rolled up and put in a backpack 🎒 VERY HANDY and Thanks again for your video.....was very helpful

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

It was fun to do and glad it was helpful

[@joannekeefe426]

I saw a video by intense angler where he stuck a body warmer on his canteen to keep it from freezing.

[@clarencesmith2305]

I have that Camillus knife and IMHO the bad part is that it is a hollow ground blade IMHO it would be nice if it was a "saber" grind or a scandi grind. Personally I like the Victorinox Huntsman for a couple reasons, it has Scissors and a Wood Saw.

[@philsmith2346]

Well, the Wal-Mart in south Parkersburg, West Virginia sells the very small bottles of a red and white wine from California, and they're really cheap, so a taste test might be worthwhile, and if the low octane is still good enough to be used for a fire starter...It's a good kit. Well done, Sir.

[@thumperthumper5322]

The 10$ titanium knife has a nice grip and is actually really sharp . sure it's not a Mora but it is a decent knife for a low budget. As for the large Ziploc bag awesome I added a net laundry bag to carry everything especially water in the Ziploc bag .much easier to move the bag of water in a Ziploc bag inside the net bag . the cheap tarp works well .kinda small but helps to keep off the Sun or rain when you need a break.

[@johnwest4492]

Hey Tim, you may have already done one but can you do a video on using the magnesium fire starter?

[@harryruffner]

Hey its always nice to come across another Believer. God Bless you. I have something I feel should be included in every survival kit. a P38/p51 Can opener. Military easy to use. and you never know if you are out with a group who has canned food and no opener.

[@we_be_nerds3601]

The little folding saws for under $13 is actually a really good saw.

[@arktikgraywolf]

Ozark trailer multiforce is a killer multitool. Try it

[@Favorite-catNip]

I have the same stakes. I recently attended a local free emergency class on tourniquet use. I bought a set from Amazon. The instructor said my tourniquet was not that good. The plastic swivel can break. So I have my med. Kit shoved inside my auto door. And put that orange tent stake. Just in case. Thx.

[@Drpermer]

That Camillus knife is a great piece of kit! It's not great for widdling, but is durable, takes and holds an edge well, and is full tang. FYI, I've had several types of hard cases from Walmart, they all suck. If you want something durable, just get a Rubbermade.

[@stevemotley808]

Definitely add the stanley adventure kit and some real food.sinkers hooks and a few more medical supplies a few bandages a few gauze pad a few alcohol. Wipes and some triple antibiotic cream burn cream. I would like to see that tarp in use

[@ndpredator4726]

So regarding the 10 knife I bought one and tested it its actually really good for the price it's easily worth 20 to 30 in my mind edge its alright. Cutting is decent I cut up my deer with it it made it though it but needed to be sharpened after as figured. It held up to me batoning a boat load of wood no damage. It really is a very decent knife. I would definitely feel comfortable using it in survival situation

[@KaylynnStrain]

for winter I'd put the water tabs in to replace the filter because the filter can freeze and break in the cold rendering it useless

[@Fizzi503]

Love it can't wait to see you test them out

[@isaacs_knives_and_knowledge]

Payday is an excellent piece of kit 👍👍

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

One of the best

[@duggydugg3937]

off spray works well against bugs.. harbor freight sells some good sized knifes.. also machetes.. i keep one of these in yhe car

[@thearriagakids646]

Great kit! I always go with the Gerber Strongarm!!! Recommend 100%! You just got a new subscriber today! 😃 God bless yall

[@Rougrou1597]

ALSO Victorinox pairing knife or Dexter razer sharp and cheap 5 bucks a piece

[@EricFabianLozano]

Walmart has some really inexpensive kids backpacks for about $9ish dollars. That water proof box is really really nice btw.

[@jerrythomas463]

Pretty decent for a 3-5 day survival pack. Making one myself and have several of the same items. A mora knife would be a good option as well. Wal Mart sales one and I have 3 of them but haven’t really tested them out.

[@JustInCases72]

A Nice kit you have what you may need to keep you alive. Defiantly put the Stanly cook set in the kit it works and it is not too expensive I probably have 12 of them 1 in every bag and my camping gear. And if you can find it, Walmart has a deal with Buck knives it's a Walmart exclusive. It's Buck Mesa. I got two of them the sheat is kydex or some form of plastic but holding the knife real the knife is awesome for the money.

[@matthale8090]

Sounds good to me. Bang up job bud

[@EverydayTacticalVids]

Thanks Matt.

[@matthale8090]

@@EverydayTacticalVids youre welcome

[@morganblackheart9468]

Even though it takes up a lot of space, I would throw in one of the ust all weather blankets.

[@morganblackheart9468]

All in all though it would suck to have to use this kit because it wouldn't be comfortable at all but I could trust my life to it. Also throw in a rod hone or something to keep the knives sharp

[@bruceboone1232]

Ever think of packing a transistor radio ?

[@benhightowerv]

That bigger juice onn only gives you about 2.5 charges, still works pretty well. I have 2 I keep in rotation for my gopro and phone. Spiderwire is garbage and breaks down quicker, I'd definitely go with Berkley or something else (I'm a fisherman who started out using spiderwire. Never again). Also, if you go with braid you can get higher strength as the same dimensions as mono. Braid does float however. Fluro sinks and is stronger than mono as well. Great looking kit, I've started building my own from Walmart too. Don't forget antiseptic & baby wipes. You can get the alcohol swabs prepackaged too.

[@iosonoi.7132]

How about having a main high quality flashlight while keeping that one you bought as back up

[@kachiri]

When it come to the knife option. I will not go Swiss Army knife. There is at least a couple made out there that have the blade lock in place, but for me, I'm sticking to a fixed blade even if it is a smaller one. I always have my _Morakniv Companion_ with me. Not a bad size or weight. It works good for me. And I latch it on my belt or pocket. I do like to also have a fixed blade that's bigger and tougher than that as well, for bigger jobs, that goes on my belt. Or I might go with my bigger "bowie" knife, which I'd use a belt as a shoulder strap to carry it on me, as it is too heavy for my belt holding up my pants.

[@CountryBoysurvival]

That Camillus knife is amazing and is only 10 or 12 dollars I loved it the blade style is kinda like a bushcraft style knife I used that knife a million times but I gave it to my son and he loves it and still haven't had any trouble it's been 6 years I believe

[@MrTxroady]

Prodigy is a good choice . Single wall stainless steel water bottles are non existent at Walmart . You could just get a 32oz sport bottle since your using the sawyer or throw in the Stanley camp cook set but that would add bulk to your kit .

[@davidthejanitor847]

I have alot of these things in my kits, but I find it interesting that you didn't include the small camp mirror for signaling..... Just my 2 cents.

[@fredfreiberger7878]

I am going to make a kit in my Stanley 2 cup cook kit

[@readyme]

Random question...how do you like the woodland HSP trucker snapback hat?

[@joemead3537]

Hey not a bad kit but the one thing I see missing and I would do different is put some type of saw to cut wood so you can have a fire and stay warm besides that you put together a pretty good kit that would work pretty good

[@420namtab]

Camilus is actually the best cheapest knife we sell at Walmart

[@anniegogogone1806]

Great video.

[@dce040186]

I would throw in 2. Fishing yo-yos don’t know if Walmart still carries those they did many years ago. They don’t weight anything and can fish for you easily. And also biodegradable whipes. Better than searching for leaves and helpful for cleaning. A little heavier but I put them in everything. Hunting gear, fishing gear, my truck, when we go to amusement parks, everywhere I go I have some.

Walmart is like palmetto state armory (PSA) is for AR-15 good quality at a very reasonable price and Walmart is the go to place for survival gear if u don't have a lot of money to spend on expensive survival equipment..

[@jeremyd6775]

Gotta say great kit but I really disagree with the lack of first aid. I’d recommend some basic stuff to prevent infection and some blister pads as well

[@knifemaker2472]

Great walmart shop, but a cheap pack and add a 3 dollar hook assortment n couple assorted bobbers for that fish kit. To make use of worms, crickets, etc. Handline can be made from a stick with the mono. Great vid though. Another 10 bucks woulda got you a steel cup or a cheap pan. Boil water cook fish or squirrel. Great start though...

[@johnl.8616]

Usefull survival kit, anything is just about better than nothing.
