Minimal BASIC Survival Kit

[@thomasnugent7602]

Very good ideas, Thank you very much

[@kullcraven]

Your welcome, i been using this simple gear for years and it has done me very well. Budget friendly and effective. :) ATB.

I think I'm well prepared, Wayne, my trail hiking pole has four pouches secured underneath the handle. A foot long take-down saw as well as a stainless steel water bottle are secured to the hiking pole as well. In one pouch is an engineers compass, while the second pouch holds a fishing kit and two small lighters. The third pouch holds two lighters, and fire-steel, and a flint and steel set. Fourth pouch holds a snaring kit, two small lighters, and roll of trail ribbon. The take down saw is comprised of a foot long saw blade two nails and whatever tree branch I use to make the affair in to a small bow-saw. The whole affair looks is so compact it is perfect it leaves room on the belt for other stuff plus the pole reduces in size it can be slung across the back if I need free hands. I like your kit but I was busy building my kit down here to

[@kullcraven]

You go well prepared and that is wise. This is minimal gear and can get you thru, but adding a few more pieces can make it easier at times. If i can get people trained in carrying at least this gear, it is far more then most carry now. Thanks again for the watch and take care.

[@brianferris1233]

@@kullcraven A lot of people really only know the job routine and restrictive town life but I'm sure there will be a great interest in wilderness when Spring hits and fishing season starts. I forgot my second Swisschamp SAK is in the pouch with the trail ribbon.

@@kullcraven Thanks, you have a good weekend as well. P. S. if you see "Trap Town HWC block and report it (it is a scam bot full of traps that hacked the real Trap Town channel) it changes the last three letters constantly I E "Trap Town NIC" and Trap Town TRC. type "Trap Town in youtube search and hit enter the result will show I speak the truth.

It's always great to show off the basics. Plenty of newcomers that are getting into survival, outdoor adventures, and prepping.

[@kullcraven]

Yes indeed we all have to start with the basics and grow from there. :) Thanks for the watch and comment Jason.

[@willisblevins4190]

Nice show good gear thanks

[@kullcraven]

This is budget gear but has proven itself to me for years. Simple but effective. :) Thanks Willis for the comment and watch.

Instead of two tarps, I bring a poncho and a space blanket. The poncho as a wind breaker, in case it rains, and I could make a tent out of it. The main way I like to use it as a shelter is to wear it, sit down, and lean my back against a tree. I fold the space blanket in thirds lengthwise (silver out), then tie a knot at one end with a small cord, then turn it inside out so it becomes a top quilt with a foot box. I can slip my feet into it and pull it over me, under the poncho. Then I can sleep with my back against the tree. A mosquito head net is nice during summer. So I am wearing my shelter and can handle a rain storm.

[@kullcraven]

Sounds like a great set up and like you mentioned in cold weather, you can make a shelter in combination with a fire. Well done and every person should find what works for them. :)

[@thomasnugent3836]

Wayne, thank you very much. Very nice

[@kullcraven]

Your welcome Thomas, nice to hear you enjoyed the video. Take care buddy.

[@johnjolabushcraft8844]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@kullcraven]

Your welcome and thank you, for the watch.

[@MiscMitz]

Great gear. Need to go through my pack and trim it down a little.

[@kullcraven]

I wouldnt trim it down, you cant have too much in my opinion, as long as you carry it and take it, you will have it if needed. :) Thanks for the watch

[@MiscMitz]

@@kullcraven trim down a couple things to add a couple different ones

[@kullcraven]

Take a kit that will keep you safe out there . :)

[@chesterwatkins9265]

I enjoyed the video... You have all of the basics covered with your pack! This is a great starting point for those who are just learning and interested in building a survival kit...

[@kullcraven]

Thank you Chester, with this minimal gear you can perform life saving tasks. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the video and kit. :)

All Must Have Items To Make The Journey Easier, Kull. Hope The Courses Are Going Well. ATB T God Bless

[@kullcraven]

Thank you Terry, these few pieces of gear can get the job done, of course i have added to mine and i think others should as well to fit their needs. ATB and God bless.

[@Hoonozit]

Thanks for the video Kull.

Your welcome , thanks for dropping by man. ATB.

That's it big 3 f s w great kit

[@kullcraven]

Thanks Tom, appreciate the watch man. Atb.

[@phillipmerritt1428]

Someone referred me to your channel. Sorry I can't remember who.I'm very glad that I looked for it cuz this was a very good channel on the basics, it's the skills that you carry in your head not in your pack that saves you 😉👌 are wasn't it O'Leary? I've been watching survival prepping Bushcraft videos for about 4 years. I really Joey your video and leave it to be helpful. Gingdah

[@kullcraven]

Thank you Phillip and your correct you have to have your head focused and know how to perform the tasks needed. The body does nothing unless the brain tells it to do something, so it all starts in the mind. :)

[@jspate61]

Very nicely done. Lots of great info. Cheers from Montreal QC

[@kullcraven]

Thank you Jeff, glad that you liked the vid man. Appreciate the watch and all the best.

[@themiwoodsman7222]

Nice basic kit Wayne , and it will get you by in a survival situation for sure. great choices atb john

[@kullcraven]

Thanks John, it have used very little to share the basics. You dont need much to cover what i call the essentials of life. :) ATB.

[@grampawterry8957]

Great video . and info Thanks brother .

[@kullcraven]

Your welcome Terry , nice to hear that you enjoyed it. All the best.

[@robbabcock_]

Good stuff! Anyone out even just for a few hours should have some gear along...especially in the winter!

[@kullcraven]

I agree Rob, just some simple gear can help big time. Thanks for the watch and all the best.

[@rajibjoshi8868]

Nice experienced advice today I made my own 'something is better then nothing' going into woods kit- somethings I bought some were siting around the house my backpack probably about 13 lbs.- axe-3 packs of matches inside plastic bag-8 survival candles-metal kettle-folding hunting knife-jean jacket-2pair socks- underwear-sweater- 3 heavyduty 33in×48in garbagebags-1 large towel-small flashlight-antiseptic cream- roll of cloth bandage-3 packets of instant soup ( 1 packet has 4 pouches)- 2 bags of peanuts-bear spray -4 feet of nylon string- (2)8 foot strong rope. (1) 16 foot strong rope - compass with magnifying glass-cigarette lighter( don't go into woods unprepared)I bet if you learn archery and carry a 35 lb draw bow and arrows you would not just survive but thrive...

[@kullcraven]

Each person has to build a kit to fit their own environment and needs in my opinion. Always remember keeping you temperature regulated, and hydration. Food is not needed for a few days, but like it is great for keeping a positive attitude and energy up. Stay safe and sounds like you have alot of areas covered.

[@nelsonmitchell3241]

Where's the basic first aid kit, I didn't leave without some antibiotic cream and bandaids. Maybe a sling. Multi use that, bandana, wipe, water strainer, neck warmer, hat/head cover.

[@kullcraven]

This is basics for Shelter, fire, water and rescue. You should upgrade this kit to fit your needs like i mentioned. Just did a upgrade video to share later today as well.

[@billyjoedenny]

i can always tell the confidence people have with there load out , and your experience shows with your pack my friend.. billy joe

[@kullcraven]

You have seen my videos for years and seen me use all this gear many times, so i do know this gear and suggest this budget gear because it works. :) Thanks Billy take care . :)

[@craigbetts1586]

good video on a basic kit to take with you, on the roadway in the park I carry just a pocket kit but the off trails even though it's in the city limits I see carry much of what you showed and a few extra (even in the nature park too, you never know) and it's a must to try your gear out before you might need to

[@kullcraven]

A Survival kit is like a first aid kit, you may never use it but its there if you need to. Tho with a survival kit you can use it for just enjoying the woods . :) Thanks for the watch and comment Craig. Take care man.

[@dannyh9010]

Which brand of water bottle is that?

[@kullcraven]

That one is an Outbound stainless water bottle. Thanks for the watch .

@@kullcraven Thanks. I really enjoy your channel, and have been a subscriber for a long time.

[@canoetipper019]

thanks for another great video Wayne. I carried enough such items with me when I went hunting...to keep me comfortable for a night or two if need be...thankfully I never needed to make use of them for emergency situations. but hey which is the better scenario: having an emergency kit and not needing it, or needing one and not having it? ;-) Oh and you are right having it and not knowing how to use it is kind of pointless right?! My Scouts Canada training sure has been handy over the years.

[@kullcraven]

Thanks for your comment and your thoughts. Carrying some gear for a survival kit is like carrying a first aid kit. It can be a life saver if needed. I rather be prepared if i end up having to spend a night or two in the forest. :) I always wanted to go to scouts but at that time it wasnt in the budget, so im self taught. lol ATB.

[@shovelhead8]

Great advice to remember, and not a lot to carry. Thank you for the information, Wayne

[@kullcraven]

Thank you, alot is not needed if you have the skills. Tho a situation can go alot easier if someone adds to their kit for their own needs. Like lights, extra clothing, water and food for 24hrs. :) ATB.

[@ijursic]

When hiking or snowshoeing, I like to carry a light hammock and a military poncho even though I have never had to use them.

[@kullcraven]

If you dont mind carrying a piece of gear , for that just in case, i think its a good option. :) Thanks for the watch.

i have a question kull , what gear do you request your customers always bring for your courses ..? for there safety . just curious my friend , take care ... billy joe

[@kullcraven]

Properly dressing for the temps, and the weather conditions, as well as bringing plenty of food and water for the day. I instruct them in safety while we are there, as in knife safety and also i am a certified first responder as well. Safety is always first my friend. :)
