Pocket Survival Kit - PSK

This is just one layer of gear, which is part of my total system. Of course things like proper clothing, first aid kit, cutting tool, water bottle, shelter, etc, etc. Those items should be considered a given, any time a person ventures into the wilderness. Things like "The 10 Essentials" or "The 10 C's of Survivability" should form the base of any wilderness equipment system.

[@jonlocke83]

This one is going in my favorites. Not just because of your kit (which by the way is awesome) but because of the points you bring up about the sewing kit, food, and the contractor bag. Having basic knowledge of edible plants trumps a bouillon cube any day also. but this is by far the best PSK video I've seen so far. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@SurivivalReviewsTest]

That's one of the best I've seen! It has all the 10 C's of survivability! 1) Container Water bags, 2) Combustion: flint/magnesium rod, spark-lite, lighter, matches, magnifying lens! 3) Cutting knife: razor, victorinox(back up) Communication: signal mirror/tape, micro whistle. 5) Cargo tape: 15 ft. Contractors survey tape. orange duct tape 6) comfort Items: chap stick. 7) Candle Light: mini LED 8) Cover shelter: poncho, contractors bag. 9) Compass 10) Cloth: Bandanna!! I love this Kit!! lol

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you. I'm always glad to hear that one of my videos has helped someone out. That's one of the great things about KZbin, you never know what kind of good information or ideas that are just one mouse click away.

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Excellent kit philosophy! Your emphasis on real situations is refreshing... no romantic fish hooks and snare wire. I would rethink the sewing needle though. Needle and strong thread can effect emergency repairs that are permanent and worry free. You are right that safety pins and tape will do but after you sew that pack strap back on you won't have to think about it again. I know... it's a step beyond survival but worth it. Great job on this vid!

[@johnrackley1903]

WOW, really nice Kit. Looks like you got it covered there. Great Video.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you very much for the kind words! I'd really like to see one of those kits. If you ever put one together again, please feel free to post it here as a video response. I'm sure there are alot of folks that would be interested. I tip my hat to you for being former British Army. I had the pleasure of meeting some of your mates over in Iraq. They were top notch fellas in my book. So I salute you, and give you my total RESPECT as well my friend! Love those DPM camo smocks you guys wear. Cheers!

[@TheECOChannel]

Hey Johanna! Thank you very much for the kinds words!!! Your comments are always welcome, and very much appreciated! I really enjoyed your survival kit video, and I'm expecting great things from your channel. Keep up the great work hun. I'll be watching!

[@Wraith007B]

One of the best kits I've seen, very well thought out and executed. I really enjoyed the commentary as well... I've always failed to understand how anyone would imagine sewing something in a survival situation. Great idea in theory, but nearly impossible once shivering or hungry.

[@asymmattrical]

Wow! VERY well thought out. I love all the support you provide for all the decisions in creating this kit. Very inspirational kit. I will definitely consider a LOT of these items as I create my own kit. Thanks so much for these great ideas! Take care!

[@TheECOChannel]

You are correct Sir. Most folks think if something goes wrong, they'll whip out a knife and build a log cabin LOL, the truth is, if you are really in a fight for your life, the one thing a person should be concened with, is getting the hell out of that situation!

[@NicholasAarons]

Fantastic Kit & The Compass is Amazing I'm From The UK And I have a few of them and they are so reliable and rugged almost Bomb Proof. Keep up the great Videos. Nick.

[@TheECOChannel]

+Nicholas Aarons (Nick Mini) Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and comment. I really appreciate it. Hopefully a new video on the 5lb kit will be coming soon.

[@UrbanSurvivor]

Great Idea having so many orange items! Great way to keep track of everything so you don't lose it. Just subscribed!

[@TheECOChannel]

+Urban Survivor Thank you! I agree 100%. IMHO a survival kit should have as many Hi Viz items as possible. Thank you very much for the sub and the support!

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you my friend! While I hope I never have to use this gear, it certainly gives a little piece of mind for a "Just in Case" scenario. Walking out under my own power would always be my first choice, but everyone should have to means to stay warm and combat thirst if the need to wait for a rescue becomes a reality.

[@NewfieOutdoorsman]

Really nice kit you got put together there,has also given me some great ideas to use with my own pocket kit,really like the lanyard/shoelace idea,not to mention it also gives you some extra cordage for other uses too.I really like the fact that you used one piece of your kit to incorporate other pieces of the kit,great way to save space.

[@hiroyopoetker]

Beautiful survival kit! Im amazed at how tiny yet complex with great authority your kit is! I commend you!

[@surviveuntilrescue1]

Wow, the closing comments on your video echo my sentiments exactly. I'm not sure if you saw my videos on using my kit, but I think I demonstrated it's possible to provide shelter, fire, water, and navigation/signalling with a few less items in those videos. I agree, though, that we do share the same philosophy/approach to survival. I'm glad people like us have a chance to share ideas in this way.

[@jediknightofthewoods]

Hey Steve mate, One of the best kits I have seen for a long time for sure, I definitely feel we are on a simliar wavelength with regards to mentality and the concept behind what we would believe to be the true requirements of a survival situation. Core temperature control, hydration, being found or navigating out well and truly beyond finding, catching or fishing and preparing a gourmet meal for example! I am going to enjoy watching your future vids in the series and future correspondence.

[@DanaFromAlaska]

Have watched this vid twice and added to my favorites list. Nice job, a lot of thought went into your kit and you making a video and sharing it with us is a wonderful thing! I subscribed to your channel today, hope you do more videos soon!

[@TheECOChannel]

+djrn2005 Thank you very much for taking the time to watch, comment, and subscribe!!! I really appreciate it when folks offer up feedback on my work! I have made a few changes/upgrades recently, so I need to make a new video soon. Also, if you have any requests or suggestions, please feel free to post them here. As always, be good, stay safe, and may God bless! :-)

[@aussiestallion69]

Finally someone getting it right! Very thoughtful, even down to trying to get blaze orange items instead of trying to camouflage everything..

[@TheECOChannel]

I have a second completed PSK just waiting to be given away. As soon as we reach 1,000 subs. The contest will begin. A big thank you to all my new subs from 2013, and to those of you who have been with me longer, I truly appreciate your continued support. Be safe and may God bless you all.

[@brutalbrital]

thx for sharing mate and you hit on a very important point , 'your' PSK is always dependent on your skill level and approximated needs, I think that is overlooked by a lot of people. I also believe your PSK should evolve with you

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you for sharing, and the kind words my friend !

[@survivalmad52]

Your PSK is very handy and thanks for the advice on what i could add into my survival kit

[@TheECOChannel]

+survivalMAD Thank you mate! Hope to see a new video from you soon with an upgraded kit. Be good, stay safe, and may God bless.

[@Purpleshirts]

Wow definitely a lot of thought and time gone into that Steve, looks like you know exactly what you need and great job fitting so much stuff into a small space. Covers all the basics and a little extra. I personally wouldn't carry that much gear every day but it would definitely suit you comfortably if the worst came to the worst.

[@TheECOChannel]

That's awesome. Let me know when it's complete. I always enjoy seeing what kinds of gear other folks have in their kits.

[@TBizzell68]

Very well thought out and put together. Thanks for the comment on survival, it makes great sense to keep it basic and focus on being rescued or finding your way out.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you! It's always nice to hear that someone appreciates my videos.

[@PineMartyn]

Very nicely presented and well-explained. Your survival kit strikes me as reflecting the right priorities while being sufficiently portable. If it's not portable, you'll hate carrying it and eventually, you'll be leaving it behind. I disagree with you on the issue of needle and thread, but not for gear repair. I carry a large needle that's pre-threaded in case I need to sew up a gash in myself or (more plausibly) in another person. Nice work. Thanks. -Martin

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you! It's always nice to hear that one of my videos is still giving people new ideas. If you have any questions, just let me know. On a side note, that's a very interesting screen name that you've got there bro...lol

[@robbabcock_]

Pretty sensible kit. I rarely get ideas from youtube videos but you've given me a couple. Great vid- thanks.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you Sir ! I agree, those cheap ponchos are great for any type of kit, and they won't break the bank either.

[@CentralOregonSurvival]

Well thought out kit, really like the setup. Great complete video..

[@TheECOChannel]

+Central Oregon Survival Network Thanks for the awesome comment! I put a lot of work into this kit, so it's great to be hearing all of this positive feedback. I'll have to make a new video one of these days, with the recent upgrades. Cheers!

[@TheECOChannel]

Great ideas!!! I have a pretty well stocked first aid kit, so that's one of the reasons why the PSK really doesn't have alot of medical gear inside it. I may have to do a P-FAK video in the near future. Thanks so much for commenting! You have a super channel, and I really enjoy your work!

[@BackcountryPatriot]

Good common sense PSK, well thought out, unlike a lot of them that I see. You've defiantly thought out yours which is good. Thanks for sharing, take care!

[@TheECOChannel]

You are correct my friend, it is definitely bigger than the standard Altoids tin. They can be purchased through several online companies. Shop around for the best price. A good deal is to go in with a few buddies, and buy them in bulk. That way you can split the cost over several folks, and you will also save on shipping. Good luck.

[@TheECOChannel]

I agree. One point that I have to constantly stress is, this kit is only a back up to what I carry in my day pack. It's another tool in the tool box so to speak. Just something that I can tuck into a cargo pocket in case of a pinch. I never venture into the wilds without the basic needs to effect my survival and stay safe.

[@radikewl70]

Great kit, and I totally agree with the sewing and button portion as well. Thanks for posting such an informative vid.

[@missjnrr]

Without a doubt the best pocket size survival kit!!!

[@eliandrejoaquin4523]

You put lots of effort in this kit! Thanks for the upload!

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you for the kind words my friend!!! It makes me very happy to know that people are enjoying this video. I certainly agree with most folks that having a bit of sewwing gear can be a good thing, but I just can't see myself trying to sew on a button or a ripped seam when getting out of a bad situation should be my first order of business. Thanks again for watching and commenting !!!

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you!!! Glad you enjoyed it my friend. I really like the compass too. It's a bit pricey, but it's a quality piece of gear.

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

Great kit Steve!! Very well thought out and innovative with lots of capabilities. I think it's a very reasonably sized kit to carry around. I would add a sterile gauze pad if possible and polysporin. Experience has shown me that injury to ones self is most probable. My computer has been down since Dec 7, so I've had to check my account weekly at the library. I apologize for any late responses.

[@evanmohn3075]

Just a few suggestions. I would replace the chap stick with something like Burt's bees that can be used as fire accelerant as well. Check our the survival Metrics mini folding razor blade, I think that would be a good addition to your kit. I am personally a fan of having braided fishing line for some smaller chores because of the ridiculous strength and length you can cary in a small kit. I would also recommend just having a needle or something so that you could repair something if you had to, takes up no space at all and you can improvise the thread easy enough from another cord. I also cary a medium sized treble hook for fishing. that way, depending on where I am, I can use it as a hook, or bend the tines and use it as a gig for hunting. again takes up very minimal space. Great kit so far, hope my suggestions inspire new ideas for improvements

[@GreenJanuary]

i need to grab a couple of ponchos for my vehicle survival kit. this kit is very well done.

[@voodoopepper2008]

Smart! Cheers m8! Very nice use of space with useful items! Gave me many ideas! Thx!

[@TheECOChannel]

+voodoopepper2008 Thanks mate! I appreciate the kind words. If you end up building your own kit, please feel free to post it here as a video response. Cheers! :-)

[@darius4181able]

Ive watched plenty of videos on survival tins etc. but this one by far is the best. Keep up the good work. :D

[@Klatubarada1979]

Excellent packing! I have that same vitorinox cheapy to supplement my medical kit for the same two reasons you described; scissors and tweezers. I have since added real tweezers because the ones on the knife are terrible at getting the big, deep splinters. Peace of mind, that sums it up for me too. Nice kit!

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you my friend! It's great comments like yours that really make me want to get the video camera out and start working on the next project.It's also nice to hear that I may have been able to help you make some choices with your own kit. Please let me know when yours is done. I'd love to see a video of it. All the best! Cheers :-)

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you for the kind words my friend! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the video, and my philosophy on what I feel should be in a PSK. There are a ton of good kits out there, but a few seem to be lacking in the basic areas. Fire, Hydration, Shelter, and last but not least, Signaling. In a perfect world I'd prefer to have three of each when it comes to those four topics, but in the end, I had to make some tough choices based on size. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you! It's always great to hear when someone understands the reasons why I created this kit, and how it will be used under the conditions that I can expect, living in this region. Cheers :-)

[@Gfifty11]

Great video! I prefer shelter instead of food as you do, but many guys forget about shelter in their kit.

[@TheECOChannel]

+Mauritius Rom Thank you very much for taking the time to comment and subscribe! I appreciate it! I also subbed you back as well. :-)

[@crazybanana242]

+Jurapark Scout i always think u should make shelter 4 the night first and find water

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you! I agree on the issue of food. I can certainly understand the need for it, and the fact that most of us will get very hungry after missing a meal or two, but that's why it's called "Survival"..lol I get alot of PM's about snare wire and fishing gear. The last portion of your comment falls right in line with most of them. I agree that those items would fit, but I have no plans to start fishing or trapping if my life is in danger. My only concern would be to "Get out of that situation".

[@TheECOChannel]

I agree 100%. Food would be my last concern in the first 72 hours of a survival emergency. I'm not saying it would be pleasant to go without eating for a couple of days, but staying warm, drinking fluids, and getting the heck out of the situation are way more important in my opinion.

[@FatMermaid1]

The best kit I've seen. You should sell them online

[@simplymy2sense]

very well thought out kit there! I like your survival priorities.

[@sabatheus]

It's obvious you've put a lot of care and consideration into this kit, so thank you very much for sharing! Now, please reveal where you sourced the button compass and emergency cards. :) I NEED them!

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you my friend. I put alot of time and effort into this one, so it's always nice to hear positive comments !

[@kantwinnada]

A lot of thought went into that. I do have a "sewing kit" consisting of 2 needles and a bobbin full of high test fireline. Also a couple fishing hooks. I figure there may come a time that I really don't want to be found. Thanks for the video.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you very much for that fantastic comment sweetie!!! Hearing someone call it (the gold standard) is exactly the kind of thing that really gets me wanting to dig out the cam, and get to work on a new video. I've made quite a few changes to this kit since I put it together. If folks are interested, I can always do an update. Thanks again for dropping by :-)

[@meghanwalsh8102]

Awesome kit the only thing I would add is dental floss mad a sewing needle for sutures. I'm going to add a few things to my kit after watching this.

[@hiroyopoetker]

Thank you very much, I have enjoyed many of your videos. Im very impressed with your knowledge and profound answer for each item. Today I watched your short video on the aluminum pen, now I want one! My videos are mostly with the kids and family and as Im a mountain biker I make short videos of our rides, Thank you for the subscription!

[@TheECOChannel]

That's an awesome compliment! Thank you! I would love to build and sell survival gear, but this kit is a bit on the pricey side. The compass alone goes for $35. I tried to pick items that were high quality, and as I'm sure you've heard that old saying..."You get what you pay for".

[@TheECOChannel]

That is one fantastic comment my friend!!! Thank you very much for the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! You have an awesome channel. I subbed!

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you very much for that awesome comment!!! I agree with you 100%. I put alot of time into picking items of gear that I thought would help me in a real survival situation, and the kit is built to aid me in this region. I live in a very populated area, so this is really a "Just in Case" kit. Some folks think the cards are a waste of space, but they are so thin, they take up about the same amount of space as blank rite in the rain paper, and in a pinch, I can always write on the back of them.

[@Pointshooter]

Excellent kit mate, great job. You have good taste in compasses, not many folks have a Suunto Clipper on their wrist and the SAS compass in their kit! I have still not found a good source for the brass compass myself. Looking forward to your other vids!

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you for the kind words! You are very observant my friend! I give you major kudos for spotting the Suunto. It's one part of my overall personal survival system. Everything from the watch on my wrist, clothes on my back, to the contents of each pocket, plays an important role, giving me an edge just in case a "What if" situation occurs. The S.A.S. compass was available through TAD Gear at one time, but I'm not sure if they still carry it. Thank you for the sub and the support. I subbed you back as well. Cheers :-)

[@Pointshooter]

Great to hear back from you, I saw one of the older blue faced Clipper's at a store a few months back, I will have to run back up there to get it. I carry a Sun minicompass II in my own survival tin, it has a tiny baseplate which works pretty well. Thanks for the sub!

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you for watching my video and taking the time to comment. No need to doubt my friend. I have a few different knives in my gear storage box to pick from. Most of the time when I head out to the woods, I carry #2 Mora with a 4 inch blade that's high carbon steel. You can take a look at it in my "Day Hike Carry Gear (Warm Weather)" video. I always have at least one fixed blade, and my SAK Soldier. With the two knives, I can pretty much complete any task that comes my way.

[@TheECOChannel]

@Rivieratime Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and comment. I've seen the tape that you spoke of, and even thought of adding it to my kit, but in the end, I went with the SOLAS stuff. I also agree about not using the tin for the heating of water or cooking food, in my opinion, it's just too darn small. If I need water, I'll stick with the straw or go with a chemical treatment. Thanks again for dropping by.

[@lukeshoot]

come to think of it I think this is a good kit for me too, just need to add a small knife for me.... one of the Ian sinclair card knife will do nicely

[@XDM50]

Hey Steve, Fantastic kit! Great review! Thanks for sharing. Peace, Duane

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you. Yes, I do really think those safety pins are useful. On the flip side of your comment, I've never been out hiking and thought to myself, "Man, I really wish I brought a complete sewing kit with me". What I'm trying to say is, it's a personal choice. Not good or bad, just a different view. I hear ya bro, and I appericate your opinion. A safety pin has tons of applications. Remove a splinter, replace a missing button, repair a broken strap, etc, etc, etc. To each his own I guess.

[@TheECOChannel]

@cyclist01222 Thank you very much for the kind words. I put alot of time, money, and thought into this kit. I agree with you 100%, that to sew a pack strap would hold way better than the tape or the pins. I've looked around, and good sail cloth needles are cheap, but to pay for shipping on a product that goes for $1.99 is a real drag. If I can find a supplier that's local, I might just have to throw a couple in there. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and leave such positive feedback!!!

[@JDKnifeworksjoedishaw]

love the kit...lots of thought..some things i haven't thought of yet...thanks...joe in ny

[@TheECOChannel]

So true. I always have snacks in my day pack, so there's really no need to try and squeeze anything else into a pocket sized kit. Even in a 72 hour situation, most people can afford to go without food. It might not be fun, but that's why it's called "Survival". Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you my friend!!! If there's anything I can do to help, or if you would like some advice, just let me know. I never really had anybody to guide me when it came to the woods or gear when I was growing up, so I love having the chance to help a new bushcrafter who's just starting out. I've got the Medium Kit up, so please feel free to check that one out. The large kit is still a work in progress, so it won't be up for awhile, but stay tuned, and I'll keep you posted. Stay safe brother!

[@TheECOChannel]

@janken919 Thank you for the kind words brother!!! I had a lot of fun making this kit. Great suggestion on the first aid items. I value your opinion very highly, so I'll be picking them up soon. I'm sorry to hear about the computer issue. That's gotta be a real pain in the butt. You never have to apologize to me buddy, I'm just glad you stopped by to watch my video and take the time to leave a comment.

[@jacobcastlebury2147]

That's the best kit ive ever seen hope u don't mind if I steal some of ur great ideas

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you for the kind words my friend! I'm glad to hear at least one person like the para/boot lace idea lol.The tin is just a basic/plain empty model that can be purchased from most online survival stores. It is a bit bigger than an Altoids tin, but not by much, just a little deeper. I print my own labels, and in my humble opinion, I think they really give any kit a nice professional look. Thank you very much for the Like and the Sub. I appericate it!!!

[@TheECOChannel]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Anything less than a broken leg, and I'm walking out under my own power. As far as a medical emergency, I live in a area where rescue is never farther away than a nice loud whistle blast, or a quick call to 911 via cell phone or VHF radio. While working in the Middle East I did carry a well stocked IFAK, but most of my adventures these days are local-NJ, so my needs have changed over the years with knowledge gained by hard earned experience from the field.

[@TheECOChannel]

Hello my good friend Luc!!!!!! So sorry that I havn't written sooner. Work and life in general has been crazy, and my youtubing has been on the back burner. I think you're right, maybe it is about time I address this issue with a video. I have a stove review coming up, so I'll try to make a "Needle Debate" video after that. Thank you very much for taking the time to keep up to date with the comments. It really shows that you're a "Top Shelf" subscriber!!! Thanks again for being a great friend!!!

[@Shorty_Lickens]

I agree that long term food supply is not a top priority. Keeping warm and finding rescue are the main concerns.

[@SuperDeltaRomeo]

This was a very good vid,well put together and informative.Will use some of these ideas in my kits.Thank you

[@SlinginDillys]

Amazing kit. You've given me ideas for my kit.

[@dreem1walker]

One idé I get when watching videos like this .. it would be interesting for people to know where you find all the different items. Perhaps make a purchase-list up .. at least for the more uncommon things (led-light, buttoncompass, magn.rod etc). But other than that, very cool video and interesting. Thanks.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! I hear what you're saying brother, but in my humble opinion, I can get by without the sewwing gear. I take very good care of my clothes, and I always have extra layers in my day pack. Even if I had a major gash in my pants or shorts, I could always make do with my rain pants in a pinch.

[@scottmaclean3533]

The first kit I've seen that has water purification tablets and bags. I was beginning to think I was the only one that was concerned with drinking water.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you for commenting!!! I'm always surprised when I see a PSK that doesn't include a way to collect snd disinfect water. Depending on the environment, it may be the most important of all priorities.

[@TheECOChannel]

Robert Mercado ....Thanks for the comment Robert! The mini compass was available through taggear, but I think they stopped carrying it. Sorry brother. :-( A good replacement is the M9 wrist compass made by Suunto. I will be giving one away in my upcoming PSK contest. Anyone who sub's will have a chance to win one when we reach the 1,000 mark.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. That's a great idea, and maybe one of these days, I'll have to work on that. Truth be told, it's been months since I've had the time to make a video, or even reply to comments. So it won't be any time soon. Thanks again for the feedback and the kind words my friend.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you very much for the kind words! I have recieved several requests for an update. I just need to get some free time to shoot the video. Work has been crazy since Hurricane Sandy hit this area. Stay tuned, and I'll be sure to let you know when it's done. Cheers :-)

[@TheECOChannel]

@ShadowSpy99 I'm glad I was able to help. Just give me a shout if there's anything else I can do.

[@bigfootbushcraft7063]

Thanks for the share bud. I know Im a little late but thank you. I hope you found out by now you can go 3 weeks without food not 3 days. 3 days is water & "3 minutes without oxygen" even tho with proper training some deep sea divers hold their breath for 11 minutes. But its the "rule of 3" anyways. Thanks again real nice kit.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you for the comment John! I'm very much aware when it comes to the "Rule of 3's". I live in a highly populated area, and the chances of being rescued within 3 days, or less is almost a given. My point was that food, or the need to try and catch game in that time frame, would not be a high priority for me. While I certainly understand going without a normal meal schedule for even one day can be uncomfortable, it wouldn't be too big of a deal. But yes, thank you for pointing that out. It might be a help to some of the newer folks who are just watching this for the first time. :-)

[@bigfootbushcraft7063]

Yeah I figured Id point that out for you bud. Take care & thanks for the share again.

[@TheECOChannel]

John Kenneally Anytime brother! Thanks for stopping by! :-)

[@TheECOChannel]

@simplysurvival01 Thank you Kyle! After seeing your survival kit video, I was inspired to make my own video. I've been working on this PSK for quite awhile, and just like you, I've changed the contents several times. I'm glad you like it, and stay tuned, I'm planning on this being a 3 part series, with my medium and large size kits still to come. Thanks again for watching buddy :-)

[@TheECOChannel]

That's a great idea my friend. I have an up coming video on what I carry in my day pack as emergency rations. I think you're gonna like what you see. I'll let you now when it gets uploaded. Thanks again for taking the time to watch and comment.

[@jessicajones2202]

Wow. This could be the best video that I've seen for a pocket survival kit. Thank you for the ideas.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you for that awesome comment Jessica! I really appreciate the kind words. I've added a few new items since the original posting of this video. I need to do an update soon.

[@TheECOChannel]

+Jessica Jones on a side note, if you subscribe today, you can get in on my 1,000 sub contest, and be eligible to win one of my custom built PSK's !

[@TheECOChannel]

+Chris McEvoy ...you can make and print them out on a label machine, which is available at most big stationary stores. Thanks for watching.

[@lmartin5251]

This is a well thought out kit, thanks for the video. I just subbed. I think a lot of people confuse pocket survival kits with bug out bags/get home bags.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thank you for the kind words my friend! Thank you also for the sub and the support!!! I agree, I often have to remind folks that my PSK is just one layer, of an entire system that is constantly changing based on several factors, anytime I head to the outdoors.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thanks for taking the time to comment and subscribe! I know alot of folks like to add fishing gear to their survival kits, but to be totally honest, if a true survival situation ever really happens, fishing would be the last thing on my mind. Getting out of there by walking out, or rescue would be my main concern.

[@bsfabrication5173]

Great kit! I appreciate what you say about food and always laugh when people act like they're going to starve after 8 hrs without a hot meal, burning the other hand, you could fit a fishing kit and some snare wire in that kit without even noticing. It just seems silly to not include it.

[@TheECOChannel]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the video!

Thank you for the compliment! I'm sorry to say that I don't sell any of my survival kits. The cost of the contents makes them a bit on the pricey side, but they are quite fun to build.

@tacticaltradecraft Hey, thanks buddy. I gotta give credit where it's due. Your "Fire Starting Kit' videos is where I got the idea, and I owe you a big thanks for taking the time to answer my questions.

Lots of good idea's in there. ok now I know what a mp1 is :) I've actually considered putting the emergency blanket (Mylar) as part of mine. You've put alot of thought into this kit. I would consider this the gold standard kit :)
