[@swanseamale47]

Just a tip, don't carry two compasses carry three. If you suspect ones failed, you'll never be able to tell which one is right. With three you'll be able to tell which one is different, it's unlightly two will fail. Thats why aircraft always have three.

[@tamalacampbell-innes7655]

he has three if you include the button compass mentioned early in the video , just an observation

And its not actually too hard to reference the sun/shadow for reference. At least if there is.. sun.

Okay, the pencil sharpener. I've been doing this for 2 decades, and I've never thought of something that simple. I'm a damned idiot. Thank you for that. Adding one to my kit...

[@mikewhitaker2880]

pencil sharpner is a good idea.. but relies on finding sticks just the right diameter.. just as easy to use your knife or axe or machette to make kindling....

[@NoOne-ul5fb]

There are pencil sharpeners with two holes of different sizes available. Used one for years. It is not for making kindling, but for making tender. Break a small dead branch off a tree even in a rain storm. Peal off wet bark and what is left is a dry wood stick ready to be sharpened into tender.

[@joedowning4298]

Hello Alfie, great presentation my friend. Your emergency kit has all the essentials to survive out in the woods. 🤗

[@KillerM1979]

I think I would have added a couple of trashbags. Normal and heavy duty. Doesn't weigh anything and doesn't take a lot of space. And very multi functional. But I guess it all is personal preference. Cheers Mark.

[@mikewhitaker2880]

each kit should be personalized to each persons preferences and skill... but this video is still good for people who dont know where to start....also my kit would have electrical tape too... its versital.. waterproof "mostly..but even duct tape will fail eventually" and electrical tape also works good as bandage material too.. specially if you need to seal a cut on a finger...way easier than using duct tape on fingers.. knowing me id have 1 roll duct tape and 2 rolls electrical..

[@michaelcolloton6971]

Most survivalists/bushcrafters/Jeremiah Johnson wannabes take the subject, and themselves, way too seriously. Thankfully, Alfie can't be counted among them. Who would have thought that one could laugh out loud during a SHTF video? You have a new subscriber, Alfie.

Also, why don't you carry any multi-tools? They don't take up that much space and can be used for many different things. Thanks.

[@Lukedog1Lukedog]

AlfieAesthetics Hi Alfie, Love your channel, and you may have replaced Paul Stamets as my fungi guru. I purchased my powdered peanut butter off Amazon. It's called PB2, just add water. Cheers from San Diego, California.

[@polymathicperturbations1476]

I carry 6 cakes of pemmican, it don't weigh much and It's enough to get me by for quite a while especially if I am foraging, trapping or fishing along the way. We have similar kits except I do not carry a small pocket system. I carry my daypack in a canvas messenger pouch. I carry my large kit in a canvas back pack. I will tie my wool blanket onto my pack, or if I am carrying the messenger bag I carry the blanket on a strap across the opposite shoulder.

[@AndyYungChow]

Joey Burdine is the weight of real PB worth the calories vs having less weight of PPB... I guess you could drink it down with water like a smoothie www.thekitchn.com/whats-the-deal-with-powdered-peanut-butter-ingredient-intelligence-201059

Great setup. +1 for having it broken up into tiers depending on what the situation demands. Add a small packet of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to your "morale booster" pack: 1/4 tsp salt + 1/4 tsp bicarb + 2 tablespoons sugar per litre of boiled water is the ideal electrolyte replacement mix. Also needs more coffee :P I carry No-Doz caffeine tablets in my survival kit - I know what I'm like with caffeine deprivation in the safety of my own home, no desire whatsoever to experience it while surviving in the bush. YMMV, of course. Fully agree on having a comfortable night's sleep. You can't survive properly if you're fatigued all the time. I have an inflatable ultra light Exped Down Mat, packs up smaller than my sleeping bag, including the little pump that comes with it. Rated to -12 degrees Celsius so even if the ground is freezing, I'm not going to lose any body heat to it. Really enjoyed the video. Definitely adding a pencil sharpener to my survival kit.

army used to have an interesting tent setup... of course they trained using the buddy system.. either way each person carried half a tent.. stakes included... they were a pain in the arse to setup sometimes.. but worked pretty damn good.... and if you were the odd man out .. well depended on the unit.. you either had to carry 2 tent halves or shack up with 2 other dudes.. or get smart enough to find a way to use 1 half tent as a whole tent... either way.. the tent/shelter system you use is up to how much do you want to lug around..how comfortable you want to be.. how well you handle small spaces.. and how big your wallet is....
