@recall5811 Hey Shawn! As usual good information to know & use. I think you might've done something once about the optimal length of a poncho but I can't remember? I've seen folks with the Polish Laavu styled ponchos, you with yours & a few others here & there. Is there a "golden rule" beyond getting something you could possibly trip over while walking as far as a poncho goes? Like the maximum or minimum length as opposed to how tall or big you are? Example- I'm 6' 3", I know my body side for my core is about 52 which's why I would wear a 3 XLT Styled shirt or jacket. If I got a poncho which I have a few, I try to have it be no longer then where the pockets on my pants would be, but this is me& others may want them shorter. What brand has grommets because I've heard about them but never physically seen 1 in stores & I mentally feel a grommet might "out perform" making a "rock / pebble button" to tie onto if you're making a shelter out of a poncho. Another question, with bank line, wouldn't you potentially lose the "fishing line" element inside that you could use for fishing or snare traps? I know one can make cordage including rushing line out of certain natural materials but if you don't have those handy & you want to try fishing, it could be hit or miss maybe?

I have come across a few negative videos about S. K. When I realized these were what he was addressing the last few weeks, I thought I would share my sphincter noise if he cared to listen… 1) Don’t address the haters. Let them stew in the silent disregard they deserve. 2) Don’t bother complaining about you-tube. If you need their money then jump thru their hoops. 3) keep putting the pop up windows and links for your merchandise outside of your dialogue. It makes your videos shorter and focused on your content. 4) loved all the different ideas you have started. Keep doing what you think has value and is enjoyable 5) when you are enjoying yourself, your videos are just better. A positive attitude infects everything and everyone around you Thanks for all that you do

Nice video, Shawn! I would add one thing, a couple of tea candles. If you can't get a fire going for whatever reason, light a candle and place it between your feet. Under the poncho, it'll make you sweat. Tea candles burn for up to 2 hours, 3 will give you 7-8 hours of rest. Thanks for taking us back to basics!

It’s an important point about the compass that even if you don’t know how to use it for navigation, you can still go in a straight line in a particular direction. Even if you are severely lost, you have a gross idea of your location with a state or county. In most places, you will know of a highway in a certain direction. Even if you can’t localize yourself to within 50 miles, you will at least know that if you go south, you will hit Highway XYZ.

I spent a lot of time in the outdoors. This is a good kit recommendation. Just a quick story, A friend and I took a canoe trip to pick fiddleheads and do some trout fishing one spring, He had rain gear from working on the ocean as a diver, and I had a Navy issue rain coat, thinking I'd be fine. We traveled 3 or 4 miles and it started to downpour an unrelenting cold spring rain, so hard we could see the river rising and we had to bail out the canoe every 15 minutes. We knew it might rain, but not like this. Within 45 minutes I was getting hypothermic, my rain coat wasn't doing shit and I was soaked to the bone. The cold rain was stripping me of body heat. I was getting very worried so I took an inventory of everything we had. I carry a couple of Bics and a knife at all times but, But there was no way I was going to start a fire in this torrent. My friend would have done everything he could but guess what saved me from possibly ending up in the hospital? We had brought trash bags! I made a makeshift 'rain suit' from them. We found a grove of fir trees. I steeled myself, ran under them, stripped down naked and wrung out my cloths, put them back on and and then layered on trash bags, from my waste down, my core and over my head. Within 15 or 20 minutes I was warming up. My cloths were wet but the trash bags held in my body heat. I've since found a lightweight poncho I carry with me in my light pack, with a couple trash bags ever since then.

I do carry a Bic lighter, but I also recommend carrying a Ferro rod, as it will work immediately even wet (I carry my lighter in a completely waterproof container, i.e. Ziploc bag). If I need immediate fire I use the Bic, if I can take a little time, I use the Ferro rod. It will last longer. I also carry a 2 X 3 Fresnel lenses. This will be my first goto (depending on the scenario and other factors). Neither of these add any weight to my kit and can add a great amount of aid. Still, great vid. Keep up the work, and stay vigilant, my friend!

Very nicely done! My kit in the military I carried everywhere was very similar. In my butt pack I had the poncho, para cord, matches in a water proof container, first aid kit, and poncho liner in a stuff sack. On my belt was a kbar knife, two issued canteens, two canteen cups, canteen cup stove, ammo pouchs, and a compass in a pouch. I went through prep ranger in the early 90s and for the advanced land navigation they recommended a Suunto compass. I've spent many nights with a poncho asleep against a tree on patrol.

Something I’ve added to the basic poncho idea is I took my woobie and cut a hole directly in the centre and sewed a plastic zipper into the gap. With the zipper closed it just a woobie. But if I open the zipper and put the woobie over my head like a blanket poncho, then put the waterproof poncho over it, and tie around my waist with a piece of cord, it is SHOCKINGLY warm. Winters are damn cold here in Canada and this setup is as warm as a parka except for your arms. The plastic zipper is easier on your neck. I can send photos if you’d like.

Zippo vs Bic lighter. I live in Arizona/ low humidity. I have 2 zippos, 1 with a wick and the other has a butane insert. The wick/fuel dries out in a few days. The butane works great EXCEPT at my mountain property at 8500’ in the cold. The Bic is very convenient and always works wherever I’m at.

Another great video: Thanks for the poncho fire warming tip. Just thinking about a, lost while hunting scenario using the poncho.

I appreciate the Stay Alive kit breakdown. This list of gear covers the basics of the Five C’s +. The items are simple and compact. Thanks for sharing.

This was a good video. No hype to sell gear, the importance of having the bare minimum, and the stressing there will be discomfort but survivability makes this, for me, an important video. Everything beyond the bare minimum makes me appreciate how well I have it in a survival situation or out in the woods exploring. Perspective is the stage of winning or losing.

I appreciate bare bones, as I’m small and can’t carry a lot of stuff.

As a hunter's ed instructor this is invaluable information. In the best case scenario you would need this because you were lost. First thing we tell the kids after STOP (sit, think, observe, plan) is to build a fire. If you need it because you're hurt the last thing you need is a complicated fire starting system. Butane lighter is always the first choice, but never the only choice. The kit always has to be on you, because if it's in the pack you set down but can't find you never had it. I'm also willing to bet that the people who say, "if I was doing it," have never done it and don't practice the basic skills, like using a ferro rod. Sage wisdom learned from Paul Harrel. There are so many "survival" channels on the tube that we lose sight of the fact that if you are in a survival situation something went wrong.

Great video! There is always room for discussion about what you want and don't want in your kit. But it's "your kit" take what you know you can use to survive! Outstanding information! It is very much appreciated

Hi Shawn. I´ve been using this exact same kit with 1 small addition as a hiking kit / 1 layer camping kit for a while now. The more comfortable I go camping or the longer I want to stay out, the more I add on, but this is the base kit. The only adition to it is a 2nd poncho, a fleece blanket that my daughter turned into a warm poncho and a very small, comfortable (with backrest) camping chair. I´ve slept like this (reasonably) compfortable for 4 to 5 hours straight. It fits (with room to spare) in a non-tactical looking, lightweight haversack. The haversack actually folds op to the size of a baseball and becomes a spare bag in case I go out with more comfort (tent, sleeping bag, pots, utensils, etc...) with a back pack. I am stoked because you are the first I see on YT that actually shows what I thought. Kind regards. Alain

I have a similar system, but with a couple more elements, the first is an Afghan blanket, which is very light and not bulky and I wear it inside the poncho, the second is a tea candle that I place in a metal cup between my legs when sitting so that the blanket retains the heat of the candle and prevents the poncho from burning in an accident.
