That friction hardening of the spear tip is something I've never seen anywhere else. Outstanding tips! Keep up the great work.

[@ropyro8903]

Ofcourse not... Hardening in fire is so much easier to do, and really full hardened. With dry wood, it is a nice way to start a fire though.. (search friction fire and you will see a lot of vids, using this,,,,, "friction hardening" techniques.

Hello 👋 As a female outdoor loving person, I must say that I really enjoy all of your survival video tips...from a male perception. Since you are putting together your $100. Kit, add a big package of disposable wipes. Fir us female survivors out there, we need this for basic hygiene, cleaning wounds etc. They are in a soft pkg which will compress down, and under $3. No one wants to survive without this . Wiping your privates with an unfamiliar bush can be avoided altogether just packing these with your necessary gear. Thank you for your service, we are Airforce Vets from Vietnam era and appreciate everything you're doing to help everyone succeed outdoors!

Dear P K, I am a gentleman outdoor female survival person loving person. I do so love the outdoors and U. So nice to hear everything from your perspective. Cheers and hearts 2 U.

And also some of those disposable wipes made out of certain materials, when dried can be used as tinder for firestarting.

Good basic kit. Add to it for increased comfort/convenience. Happy camping folks

[@Jaden48108]

Good kit. One of the things I would do differently is fractionalize the kit by purchasing two or three Bic lighters for $5, shuck the ferro rod and emergency blanket giving you $25 left to spend on a larger, stronger tarp say for $15 and the rest on food. I'm thinking a quart size can of ravioli along with a military can opener (P51). Once the food is gone I can use the aluminum can for boiling water, cooking food I catch, char making without having to use the canteen cup. Any money left over I'd buy bug spray or more food.

[@josephdixon1827]

Nice showing the friction technique I know about it glad your sharing not to many people know that trick.

[@someguy3861]

Personally, I suggest swapping out your 550 cord for #36 tarred bank line, if you're mostly using it for construction of shelter and/or tools and snares. Quarter pound roll of 450 feet for ten dollars, 350lb breaking strength, still meltable and not as stretchy. It's also a bit toothier, and bypasses the possibility of buying fake 550 cord (which I've ran into more and more over the past five or so years.)

[@the_real_MarcGyver]

Been part of the prep/survival world for the past few years and you're the f 1st I've seen make a net, outstanding!

[@johnturtle6649]

Every time I see a wooden weapon being made, I always remember my childhood. We would chase down the ice cream man and when we were done eating our popsicles, we would take the popsicle sticks and sharpen them into pokers on the sidewalk for fun and shenanigans. Or split them into fine needles and use a rubber band to shoot darts at each other :p You could also break off a sharp tip and shove them into the end of a plastic straw, using the same rubberband you could make a basic rocket that would travel great distances. Good times.

Great kit for those on a budget or for an emergency kit!

[@antonwearsakilt5209]

Great idea with the gill net, excellent snare setup. Another great item overlooked by many today, is a newspaper. A newspaper can be added underneath the clothing to provide wind block/ and a absorbent layer, especially placed over the core to keep heat in. Once the paper is wet, exchange it for a dry piece. Take the wet paper place it near the fire to dry out / warm up. I've used this trick many times when I haven't brought the appropriate kit along. Newspapers aren't as common as they once were, yet often times one can find free or nearly free real estate or thrift pages at a convenience store or similar. Besides the above suggestions, newsprint can be used as TP, and as a fire starter. If a newspaper can't be found, then find a Amazon box it can function in the same manner.

[@johnturtle6649]

Are newspapers even sold anymore? All I ever see now is that cheap artificial material ad inserts in the mail. But that is a good idea in the city, you can use waste cardboard to do the same thing, especially to insulate concrete so you don't freeze in the winter. Learned that from watching homeless people.

[@kidbach]

In an urban environment when natural resources is scarce or nil, newspaper can also be torn into narrow strips to create an improvised bird's nest for use with charred material to blow into flames.

[@antonwearsakilt5209]

That's a 100 bucks well spent. The more you know philosophy gives one a creative edge for building budget kits. Thanks Andrew, you got my wheels turning. Bravo.

[@280zjammer]

I really appreciate the price cap type challenges. They make you think about using items with multiple uses and what items facilitate fabricating with natural materials. It's also good to work with limitations because essentially, that's what makes it a survival situation. The dollar stores are not going to have everything but they're a great place to fill a few gaps. You can get things like birthday cake candles, small tins, disposable table cloths, first aid items, tape, string, towels, hand sanitizer, foil and lots of other repursable items.

[@NewHampshireJack]

I believe there are two groups. Group1. People will view a kit like this and proclaim, "I have nothing, NOTHING I tell you to work with here." There are no matches or butane lighter, no can opener, and not even a pop-top can of soup. Group 2. These folks have practiced building skills and stored knowledge for use when needed. Group 2 folks will rejoice in what their kit contains. In a small package, they have tools to build a shelter and start a survival fire to cook and sterilize water resources from the wild. With skill and some effort, they can replenish their food and water multiple times. I will choose group 2 any day. Thank you, Ranger, for what you do.

This kit reminds me to get lids for my G.I. canteen cups. I also miss having my old midwestern resource of abundant, tough hickory for tools and weapons. The ripe nuts are small and hard-shelled, but numerous and nutritious. The gillnet option is unsurpassed in providing protein from certain fishable waters. Aluminum foil and salt are important possible additions to this kit.

[@wren7195]

So many great uses for foil, it's (still mostly) dirt cheap and takes up practically no space, highly recommend it to folk in "survival" kits. *shakes her head* I'm in Ohio, lot more sub-urbanized than it was when I was little, so most of the hickories here are priceless. LOL Hickory nuts were my go-to slingshot ammo when I was a little bratty girl. That damn beetle has obliterated ALL of the ash trees here. It's a tragic nightmare, their dead shafts just everywhere, cloaked in vines desecrating their hardwood corpses. Take care Peter, wish you well

That Mora is OK for small jobs, but splitting wood requires a more robust knife/machete.. A collapsible fishing rod is cheap and easy to carry. The best teacher is experience, each time I go out I learn what I need to carry next time, like a map & compass.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

These cheap challenges are always the best 👍 Thanks Andrew ! I'd add a $1 card size fresnel lens, a $3 mylar survival blanket to sleep under and a $2 collapsible water bottle to my kit. Given the low quality of that saw I'd buy a $9 hatchet.

[@johnturtle6649]

You can make that water bottle with the duct tape, as he showed, but it won't have sealing capabilities for transport.

Unfortunately, the $9 hatchets are $13 at harbor freight, now...

Don't get me wrong I like ferro rods, flint and steel, friction fires, magnifying lenses etc. for fire making. But if you want to really prepare (that goes for the wievers) just carry a cheap lighter - or better, carry several. Works fine, easier to start a fire with. I've been a smoker for 10 years, and only had a lighter that broke beyond use entirelly once. Sure, eventually the fuel runs out, but I only buy a nev lighter like every other month or so, and I use them several times every day. Just have a good old lighter in your kit
