Personal Survival Kit

[@eturnerx]

I like how you explained everything in relation to your skills, the activities you do and the climate you're in. That's why I think everybody's PSK is different. The thinking behind the choices are more important than a straight list. Thanks.

[@hamacheadel8429]

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else needs to find out about best emergency survival food try Franaar Spies Control Formula (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbor got excellent success with it.

[@rickybritton7212]

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you and Survival Dispatch, you have so much common sense, I take everything you say to heart. Sincerely Rick from Mo and God bless you and your family

Nice kit. I might add a 55 gallon (or 45 gallon) can liner. Cut open, they are 3 ft. x 4 ft., which can give overhead cover in rain, or you can make a poncho from it. In Fl., it's going to rain. I like your fire kit. I used to have 15 ways to make fire, but it was unnecessary. Stick with what you know will work, as you have. Thanks for sharing your kit.

[@Unknown39485]

Excellent! If I could offer a small suggestion, I’d just add a camper Victorinox swiss army knife, for a proper blade and a proper saw.

[@mollymccleerey3844]

You got my keeping backpacks in my car from your books. My family is from Lake County, Tavares and Astor. I'm ready for the book!

[@lotacarolinaaisling1261]

Since i was little, I have carried what is known as jean thread instead of rope. The one they use for making the jeans and making military backpacks. Super durable, if you roll three- four strings together, it can be used for temporary shelter (i have done that and it didn't break). I have replaced the sewing thread in my kit with it for backup, because it comes up to 1000 meters in small rolls and it's cheep and it is thin enough for multiple purposes. I use the middle gap for needles. Also, what i don't see in sewing kits, but anyone careing for their fingers should have - thimbles. Needle pricks your skin easily and in that situation it is the small cut that ruins your day .

[@ottawavalleybushcraft]

Some speed hooks and a frog gig are 2 things I’d try to add to this kit. I’ve also seen a similar sized kit with a full 24” saw blade coiled up around the inside perimeter of the tin. This is a great video. Bravo.

[@slowpoke1315]

Nice kit. Good video. Suggest adding a small drawstring bag to hold everything when you need to use the container for water boiling etc. Lots of little items to get lost. If you don't have enough room in the kit you can always put the kit in the bag. Bag can be handy in a lot of ways too. Stay well my brother

[@massulikc]

Very smart selections. Nice work

[@MrByTheMile]

love how you mentioned the signal mirror and its many uses! awesome video

[@allanlarmour7460]

You should put a liner in that tin can so you don't have to empty all that stuff out onto the ground just so you can use the tin can. Chances are you'll want to get a fire started first and then boil water. I'd always boil water before drinking it, if I can. Noise reduction is a must, nothing more annoying than walking with someone who's rattling like a tinker. All I would add would be more first aid. I carry a lot of first aid, hopefully none of it is for me but it's always good to be in a position that you can help others. I know this is a PSK but still, doesn't hurt to carry a few extra pieces of kit.

[@leighrate]

P.S. 4-6 12" Cable ties. They are a god send for shelter building. Particularly under evil & dirty conditions.

[@MrDkgio]

Few suggestions, a tarp would fit in there (also works as a hammock) petzl e lite + hands free lighting, opinel number 12 saw, small Essee knife (or mora)

[@johnruckman2320]

Just found this video. Interesting. Several of those items in your kit I've never seen before. No list in the dropdown menu of what it is and where you got it. And, I've never seen them in any store. I'd love to know more about them.

[@momrocks9971]

It is difficult to understand some of the words he says quickly when I want to search for a certain brand. Great idea.

[@dlighted8861]

Thanks I haven't seen Survival Dispatch in a while. Even though I am subscribed.

[@michaelbishop5251]

You can use that bandanna for water as well. Take two cups or water holding objects and put one end into the first cup with water and the other end into the 2nd cup with nothing in it. It will wick the water and drip into the empty cup for clean water.

[@arctodussimus6198]

Nice kit.

[@3nertia]

What tin/container is that?

[@Utoobhero]

Look up Blastmatch, one handed ferrorod solution.

[@leighrate]

I built a similar kit around a BCB mess tin (the locking lid version). Personally I would bin the razor knife in favour of a Swiss Army Knife. One with a saw on it. OHT or similar for choice. Much more effective & you have room for it.

[@michaelcariello6233]

Seems like you have the space to put a multi tool, bigger flashlight and couple of extra space blankets.

[@marrngtn]

Do you recommend a chest rig? I’ve been debating whether or not to add a ballistic panel to my EDC bag.

[@wild-radio7373]

Love this guy!♡

[@warlockcommandcenter]

Is the little PSK in your car the one Morgan had or is it the big kit or did he have both

[@THENEWWRANGLER]

I would add micro cord or bank line, and a stick of fat wood

[@Utoobhero]

Can you provide a list of your items? Makes it a little easier to find them online. If not, I understand.

[@sostrucking]

Just Google survival kit items or look on Pinterest.

[@paylaw6012]

What name and size are the batteries for the nano light?

[@dlighted8861]

Thanks,lots of good info and no B.S. as usual. Who makes the durable,compact space blanket?

[@paulag1955]

Where did you find the metal container you're using?

[@Arizona_Skin_Walker]

The Internet

[@robbabcock_]

It's a FRUH NELL lens, not a FRES-Nell lens! Beyond that, good stuff.

[@leighrate]

Don't know if they are available your side of the pond, but look for a brand called "Pour & Store". 1litre capacity, gusseted and will accept hot liquids.

[@peggythornton5372]

having two mirors gives and extra body check

[@dudleyvilledude2081]

Is it me or do our PSKs always neglect a key to health? Toothbrush, toothpaste/powder, floss, and Dentemp. You can't go too many days before you can start having issues.

[@MokuNui808]

Where can I buy a good ferro rod? I live in Hawaii and Amazon will not ship to me

[@Arizona_Skin_Walker]

Ebay. Any ferro rod will work

[@kan-zee]

isn't it something, how common place WATER FILTERs have become a staple part of the survival kits....Back before the 70's we use to be able to boil and drink and in many places , we could drink straight from a spring fed water source....nowadays....it is rare to find such places ... I feel sad for our grandkids , they will never know that kind of freedom ever .

[@sosteve9113]

Agree there is to many chemicals in the ground and water nowadays Not safe to drink from a water source

[@h.c.4878]

There is a spring down the road from me that we used to collect water from all the time about 4 years ago. Me and my buddy and his siblings would fill up a couple gallons every week

[@dlighted8861]

Signal mirror is for checking how bad the wound is on your back

[@NGMonocrom]

No whistle for signalling? No compass for navigation? Genuinely surprised those two items weren't included.

[@NGMonocrom]

Ah, Thank you for clarifying.

[@mitchlindeman7033]

...rockless Florida- who knew?

[@fredperry9235]

I'd include a Victorinox farmee etc instead of that knife

[@MichaelGittel]

The first and most important item in your survivalkit is................fittness! Fat people cant run...they cant hunt a deer with improvised weapons!

[@alanjhornung7077]

Great P S K I would go with the Olight S1 Baton 80 lumens-6hrs / 8 lumens-40hrs / 0.5 lumens or the I3E EOS AAA 70 - 90lumens with lithium batteries I have both lights .

[@brettlaw920]

You're supposed to put the water filled condom in a sock.
