I keep the following in my belt, especially during travel Lighter Mini compass Mini flashlight Flint Paracord Whistle Saw blade Mini glow sticks Gunpowder Cord and bolt weapon (improvised) Self igniting candle Cotton buds Nasal inhaler Alcohol Medicine pills (6 different kind.... aspirin, anti inflammatory,anti bacterial, antihistamine, anti motility and antacid) Band aid Insect repellent Water purification tablet Amulet/lucky charm I keep most of these hidden in the zipper compartment of my belt, and some are inside a small pouch hanging attached in the belt itself. Might add mini USB, aluminum foil and extra battery, i saw other videos of the uses of these

[@debbiecurtis4021]

Good Morning prepping family. Yesterday I swopped out my bootlaces for 550 firecord paracord. I burnt the ends to seal them. I cut a section and pulled out the firecord, I lit it, and I have to say I'm impressed how well it burnt. Now when I'm out and about with my boots on, I'll be confident that I have cordage, fishing line, and a firestarter with me. I also carry a ferro rod and tiny Victornix knife.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Excellent!

[@jimmycornflake2636]

I've also got some survival cord in my boots. Paired up with a cigarette lighter with safety pins and needles taped to the outside, I'm good with starting s fire and minor repairs.

[@haggis525]

You know, I thought I was alone in carrying around a neck kit. While mine differs in some details - it carries pretty much the same stuff as yours. I actually never leave home without it. Whatever else I may have with me, my neck kit is always there. Some folks have made fun of my little kit saying I don't really need to carry it every day. Well.... I reckon that I'd say the same thing about my wee kit as I say about many other things: I'm actually never going to need it - until I need it badly! Great video again, James... thank you! And greetings from Canada. Stay safe and be well.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks so much!

[@urbanoutdoorsman]

Hey James, always appreciate your dedication to producing content. I have a mini kit like yours as well. Just a suggestion, I added a short piece of glue stick to my kit and it has been very useful in patching, sealing and waterproofing stuff. I was able to glue back the sole of my boots in my recent trip to the outbacks of Australia and I was so grateful I could do it to keep my feet dry!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks for watching! A glue stick can be very handy indeed!

I love that little pouch! I've been saving tins, and making mini survival kits for car glove boxes, and I just sneak them in my friends & family's cars who don't exactly believe in preparing for much... I feel better, knowing they have it.

[@Jaden48108]

Have to give you props for fitting so much in that little container. Something I've never considered is a neck pouch- probably because shirt and pant pockets do fine for holding. This might be fun to experiment with- thanks for the idea.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it!

[@cardiacbob]

I like that fact that you could also put it on your belt if you detached the cordage.

[@tonylarose4842]

​@@cardiacbob turn the cordage into a belt!

[@GeckoHiker]

As a lady backpacker, my survival necklace is easier for me because my pocket situation is different than my husband's. It just is. On my necklace are my magnesium firestarter, can opener, very sharp tactical knife in a sheath (that can be laced on a boot), a plastic waterproof capsule, button lights, thermometer (because temperature matters!), straw water filter, and lots of cordage. The duct tape wrapoed capsule contains plastic bags, iodine tablets, stormproof matches, meds, antibiotic ointment in foil pouch, safety pins, needles, dental floss, and a few wrapped peppermint candies. I routinely use the knife and the firestarter. I have used a needle for clothing repairs and to dig out splinters. This is just part of the survival layers concept. My tummy pack has an emergency bivvy and a stainless steel survival container with instant coffee, teabags, trail mix, and dehydrated soup mix. I can boil water in that container. I can handle just about any survival situation with a cup of black coffee. My husband carries a flask of Southern Comfort because he knows I've got coffee. Many years ago, he dragged me to a survival course in Colorado. During the orientation, the instructors put our backpacks in barrels of water. Before we left, we were told the scenario.... Backpacks lost in a water accident, and we could keep anything that was dry or on our persons. Apparently, my years of growing up in Florida helped me out. Nothing in my backpack got wet. But, I was onboard with that thought experiment from then on. Layering items that experience told me I'd be rather miserable without if my backpack and I were separated.

[@paulsisco6748]

When I made my survival kit in scouts in the 1980s I also used a metal box. This box can be used to cook a hot meal in. My box had a removable lid so I actually had a small pot for boiling water and a small skillet. Great kit. There are a few things I need to add to mine.

[@DougPalumbo]

I’m surprised on the amount of useful items in such a small kit! Well done!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks, much appreciated!

[@greyscout01]

I don't know how this got past me for 7 months, but I'm glad I found it. Very well thought out. A neck kit on cord is truly a comfortable way to carry things for me. Thanks.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheWtfnonamez]

The joke birthday candles.... genius idea. Im ashamed I never thought of doing that. Great kit. It reminded me that my old scout leader used to take those match books, and very carefully melt candle wax onto them and fold them back. The encapsulated matches would last forever if you were careful.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks! The candle wax on the matchbooks is a good idea for sure.

[@theresaconley5930]

When you started pulling out things from that kit I was amazed at the wide variety of things you had in that little kit. Good job.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks!

[@jro341]

Thanks. One simple thing to add is a “ranger band”. Just cut pieces of an inner tube for a bicycle and you have very strong rubber bands. Many uses and can keep the tin together.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks for watching!

[@outtadarkness1970]

Thank you for some really good suggestions. I am all about packing a lot into small packages. My children tease me, but they are also the first ones to ask if I have this or that. 😁

[@WayPointSurvival]

Right? Thanks for watching!

[@tonydornbusch4945]

Great little kit. I too have been carrying a small kit like that for about 30 years. Over time, I have added a folded up sheet of heavy duty tin foil for boiling water in and an oven bag to collect/carry water in. Both flat and take almost no space but gives you a lot of value.

[@larryhillman3813]

Nice little kit and extremely compact. It is always good to have redundancy with blades and fire starter material. Good job.

[@johnblocher8431]

Nice neck kit. I need to make one for myself. Recently in the news a woman died on a trail of hypothermia because the temperature decreased to 19 degrees Fahrenheit and the husband had gone for help down the trail. That wouldn't have happened with a mylar survival blanket each and an emergency blanket/small shelter tarp even if they had nothing else and didn't know how to make a proper shelter or a fire. Anyone day-hiking needs to carry enough gear to make it through at least one accidental overnight (much more if in back country areas) and they should be comfortable to at least 20 degrees lower than the expected night-time low. The demonstrated mini-survival kit had fire-starting elements so it would have helped even in this situation even without the shelter items that belong in the main survival gear. Even pocket or small container kits can save lives if more people would carry them. They are a great backup or supplemental kit to a main survival kit also.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Indeed. Thanks for watching!

[@jerrodlopes186]

Love the idea of the trick birthday candle. Excellent idea. I'm going to make one, but bigger, out of the standard size altoids tin. I'll make a leather pouch for it. Thanks for the inspiration and information.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Excellent!

I really appreciate your videos. You've covered several different types of survival skills, and never a disappointment. Thank you for your dedication.

[@WayPointSurvival]

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

Two small things I'd do differently, and two small additions I'd add, that would greatly increase the effectiveness of this kit would be; attach a whistle to the outside of the kit, keep the mirror outside of the tin either in front or behind the tin inside the pouch for easier access, include a pre-threaded sewing needle with a decent length of monofilament fishing line/dental floss/strong thread, and finally have at least one of the fishing hooks have a leader tied on. It's better to have signaling devices like a whistle and mirror easily accessible and ready to go. It's better to be rescued ASAP than rely on that tin or whatever gear you have with you. Pre-threading a needle and having a fishing hook with a leader already tied to it will save on the time and frustration of trying to tread the small eyes of a needle or hook, especially when fingers are cold and numb and/or you're slightly shivering. Other things I feel worth mentioning would be color choices or improving colors. Given this is a survival kit and not meant for escape and evasion, and that in a survival situation you might be suffering from starvation or hypothermia and may not have all available wits about you, having bright and colorful items will help keep track of your gear. For instance dropping that little gray and black pouch with olive drab cord among rocks and debris will blend in and be much harder to find as opposed to a pouch and cord that's bright/neon orange or yellow, pretty much colors that are rare to find in nature. Simple things such as paints, patches, and decals can help, especially if they're reflective and/or glow-in-the-dark. Nail polish is a great alternative to paints as it's more of a hard varnish and doesn't flake off as easily as paint, it's available in small sizes, relatively cheap/affordable, come with a brush/applicator, and a lot are specifically formulated to catch and reflect light or glow-in-the-dark. Imagine dropping that little knife of yours with its earth tone matte powder coat finish among the leaf litter and detritus. A stripe of glittery nail polish catching the sun or flash light beam, and/or a stripe of glow-in-the-dark polish faintly glowing in no/low light conditions just greatly increased the likelihood of you finding and retrieving that bad boy. The greatest space saver for compact kits like this is the selection of things that can serve more than one purpose, which you touched on with things like cordage used for repairs, building or fishing/hunting, or duct tape used for a fire starter, so think of utilizing brightly colored objects as not only helping you keep track of your gear but additionally can serve as signaling devices or ways to get a rescue's attention. Redundancy is also good which shows up in this kit, but in addition to that signal mirror I'd consider polishing up the bottom outside and inside of that tin to serve as another signaling mirror. Great little kit, and thanks for sharing it with us. I really like that it was intended as a wearable kit around the neck. The best survival kit is the one you have on you.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks for watching and for all the great suggestions!

[@TheScoundrel70]

James, I really appreciate all your creativity and efforts. I'm not sure how many people caught it, but when talking about survival kits, you always say something about having skills and _______, it can be really useful in a survival situation. All kits are to compliment the skills you have in order to make use of the contents effectively. Its great to have a channel that shows both the gear and the skills as part of the same package and not separate tools of outdoors and survival. 👍👍🇨🇦

[@WayPointSurvival]

[@bangalorebobbel]

Great kit and contents, thanks for showing. Just two remarks: The paracord around the neck can be deadly, especially if it is even braided and such possibly capable of carrying higher loads than 550lb. A breakable stainless steel bead chain (as e.g. used for military dog tags) is much more secure. (I say that from own experience, since I almost strangulated myself whiles climbing over a fence with a strong line around my neck and slipped. Luckily somebody noticed me hanging there helplessly and rescued me before I died ...) And secondly, I would highly recommend to replace the gerber knife by a Victorinox MiniChamp (maybe the alox version?) since it has similar size but much higher functionality /multi purpose - and it has even two blades. One can even easily modify this little knife for getting even more survival specific functionality out of it (if somebody is interested: there are two videos on my channel showing how-to) .

[@WayPointSurvival]

Thanks for watching and for the suggestions!

[@matthewbrown6163]

I found a few Zippo Lighter Pouches that were the same size & used similar ideas - but I think we all add what we need from experience. I made mine up with bits & pieces I had around from gifts & freebies. I had a compass pouch with a nylon pouch that I reused but often I find people forget the simple things - like a way to start a fire (yes it happens). I pinched a fishing kit from a cheap survival kit after I used it. I added this inside as it was 20m of fishing line too. I squeezed 20m of bank line that can also be used with fishing kit.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Excellent!

[@bertkelly7650]

I have a similar kit only bigger that fits in an old camera bag I had bought with multiple dividers that fits on your belt.

It was big enough for a Heetsheet, candle, matches, a small knife, 30' mason string, and some safety pins. I taped it with electrical tape so that it couldn't come apart. Good Luck, Rick

[@borumfishing]

The candle was a brilliant idea. Nice kit.

[@superhitpix5955]

Hey folks! I love this channel and have applied several ideas to my own tinkering projects. Neck packs are great and have so many applications. I would recommend that anyone making one do so with a safety release. Working in mental health facilities, our ID lanyards are required to have snaps so as not to be used as a strangulation mechanism. This applies in the bush as well. Though another person isn't likely to use it against you out in the woods, slips and snags can be an unconsidered hazard. Thanks for everything James!

[@WayPointSurvival]

Yes, that is always a concern. However, the Carabiner is a very cheap one and should come apart fairly easily if it gets snagged on anything significant.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Yes. They can be used for that in an emergency situation.

[@jimmycornflake2636]

Some of that strong cord threaded though some soft bait like corn or raisins at intervals and tied to an anchor point will catch game such as pheasants. They start eating the bait and take the cordage too, it gets wrapped inside them and when they realise it's too late. It's a nasty way to go and definitely only to used in real survival situations.

[@tenchraven]

A little more elegant than mine. Just a match case, with a loop of paracord held in place with a few feet of neon pink duct tape wrapped aroud the case. From top to bottom, 3 #8 hooks and 3 sinkers under a round of celluloid and a small pad of cotton; matches, 2 sewing needles, two very small strips of lead for use as sinkers, match striker secured in a drinking straw, and about 20' of 20# spiderwire wrapped around a bent paper clip. Another pad, another round of celluloid, a button compass, and a round of that mirror replacement with another match striker on the back of it. That, a round whistle and a SAK on the lanyard, which is a lot like yours. The celluloid was from a sheet for people to cut their own guitar picks from, and if you don't know it, it burns to the point it's actually illegal in many places to bring onto public transit.
