[@orenmontgomery8250]

@@charlesbrightman4237 yeah, I think I put together a better kit for my car from random cast-offs of my other gear and some sale food from the "10 items for $10" bins at the grocery. I don't have a tent in it (just contractor bags, and some mylar), but at least there's a single-walled water bottle, some cordage, and a (crappy) folding saw.

[@user-bh3ew6ii4g]

At least the food was good ;) I sometimes do take the time to look at what is in these pre-made B.O.B.s and come to the same conclusion as you did, but I appreciate that you took it to the field and actually tried it out. It's always baffling to me that they put so much crap in and then forget something like a metal water bottle. What I really couldn't believe is how they added the folding Esbit stove but not the fuel tabs. The really bad thing is that gullible and clueless people will buy stuff like this and not even try it out or put it to the test, they will also in many cases place a 5 star review saying something "now I feel so much better knowing that I if the SHTF I can survive it with this kit". How much did that thing weight, and how does that compare to your usual 10 Cs kit? If this company was smart and really wanted to do a good job they could be emailing you asap asking how much you would charge for consulting to help them put together a kit that someone actually could survive with.

[@hippyg3573]

I'm a 63 year old grandma, but I bought a kit similar to this one just as a starter. I have been slowly adding to it as it is always in my car. Here in the northeast, the weather can change rapidly in hours. I ALWAYS have a blanket, an insulated hoodie, and a winter ear warmer headband. I researched and found some great hiking boots, and have added a few pairs of wool socks (for hands too). I do have a Swiss army knife, hatchet, and collapsible shovel. We had a camp when I was a child with no water or electricity so I know how to "make do," and have always known fires and cooking techniques. I have learned that sometimes it's only you yourself to depend on, and a car breaking down on a back road in below freezing weather is NOT someplace you want to get stuck. Who needs zombies? ;)

[@DenverSurvival]

I really appreciate this review and thanks for testing some of the gear out, although I have to argue that this felt more like competitor bias than an actual review :( I think you made some really good points regarding water and storage. I like how you look to use the straw, titanium pot, and cistern together, and I see what you mean when you say it would be difficult to boil large amounts of water and transfer between the different devices. Adding cordage and a tourniquet is a must in the future. However, discarding an entire first aid kit because it didn't have one item? I think that's a little silly.... Adding more water containment is a must. I'm seeing some comments that are saying that this bag is worth about $200, so I wanted to be totally transparent and list our costs from manufacturer + shipping to our warehouse for everything below: Tactical backpack: $28 11 piece survival kit: $13.50 EDC knife: $11.50 Damascus Axe: $50 Freeze dried food : $21 Food bar and water packets: $9 Solar lantern: $5 Sleeping bag: $11 Automatic tent: $23 Water Cistern: $3 Stay dry bag: $8 Paracord boot laces: $4 Tent lamps: $2 Water straw: $7.50 First Aid Kit: $15 Walkie talkies: $17.50 Titanium cookware and steel stove: $29 Folding stove: $1.50 Emergency radio: $13 Shovel: $15 Cost $287.50 On top of that we include free shipping. Due to the weight and size, plus we fully insure every package, and require signature, shipping is generally around $45 to ship to customers within the contingent USA. $287.50+ $45 = $332.50 $500 sales price x 15% Amazon fee = $425 $425 - $332.50 = $92.50 profit This profit isn't counting the cost of advertising, salaries, and warehouse leases. Our margins are EXTREMELY thin. I say this because I want to be completely transparent, my goal when starting this company was to bring quality survival gear to the market at reasonable prices. We have many other bug out bags in the $175-$350 range. I believe if you compare us to Stealth Angel, Sustain Supply, Everlit, you will see that we offer superior products. Better backpacks, better cookware, better first aid kits, better knives. We have customers/ambassadors from Alaskan fly-in fishing retreats, to Canadian dog mushers, to survival school instructors and trainees, to city dwellers. When designing the preloaded bug out bags, we aren't only thinking about survivalists, but also people that are looking for emergency preparedness materials that currently don't have any. What may come off as gimmicky to a 45 year old survivalist, may come off as useful to a 35 year old woman. Many of our customers are suburbanites that want a comprehensive emergency kit that they can use multiple ways. A dad may buy this for his family and use the backpack and knife as everyday commuter carries, keep the water packets, food bar, shovel, walkie talkies, in the car for emergencies, the family may use the sleeping bags, tent, tent lights, and cookware for weekend camping outings, and the rest may be kept at home. The paracord bracelet may seem silly to an older guy, but it's not to a 35 year old woman that doesn't like to carry a lot of stuff and wears it when she goes on a run in the mountains. Is that a bad thing for her to have a compass, cordage, whistle, and fire just in case an emergency happens? We try to appease as large of an audience as possible. I wish that this perspective was shown a little more in your review. We are all for people building their own bug out bags - you can buy most of our products individually, and many people do that. We have no issue, for example, if someone wants to buy a backpack, some cookware, and then fill it up more with items down the road from other suppliers. In 2021 we sold hundreds of bug out bags and only had 1 return - and that was because UPS wasn't able to deliver the package before Christmas. The average e-commerce company has a 5% return rate, and this is even higher in the outdoor industry due to the quick wear on the items. We have the lowest return rate out of any survival company, period. We have many repeat customers. I really do appreciate the honest review, but I kind of wish that you picked a different bug out bag of ours, something with fewer items, more quality products, and a lower price point. I think you would have liked that more maybe. I'm going to work on designing a new bug out bag based off of your recommendations. I'd love for you to give us another shot down the road. Thank you Denver Survival

[@bernieburton6520]

Get rid of the Damascus hatchet. Just use a quality regular steal hatchet that is only going to run around $20-$25. And a folding hand saw. And a pack of bic lighters in a water tight container. A heavy duty tarp and a hundred feet of Paracord. Get rid of the tac pen and the dumb multi tool card. A regular pencil and notebook would be more useful. A larger pot, at least a quart in size. The fold up shovels are not super necessary. A good fixed blade knife with a straight edge around 5 inches in length is fine. Backpack should really be at least 40 liters in size.

[@DenverSurvival]

@@bernieburton6520 Thanks, I like all of the suggestions that you made. We just had some high carbon axes made, so we are going to add those into the mix. Also got paracord and tourniquets. We are working on rain protection next. I'm debating between either adding a tarp, or a waterproof waxed canvas blanket. I like the waxed canvas blanket as it has multiple uses. I agree with you 100% on backpack size. For our bug out bags you can pick either 40L, 50L, or 60L. A huge percentage of customers choose the 60L, but my favorite is the 40L. It's the perfect size. Thanks

[@viewsandreviews180]

I believe you were fair with this kit review. I have not and will not buy a “complete survival kit”. The best way to determine what is needed for “survival” is to spend time camping locally and keep track of what you actually used and wished you had.

No tarp or rain poncho, no bic lighter , no headlamp, no extra batteries, no folding saw. I've been using Buckner folding saws for many years...10.00$ on special and they work great for me. I carry theses items daily with me on my homestead and I'm not even camping. I would not buy this kit even for 150.00$. Thanks Shawn for the video, take care.

[@Rohan4711]

I agree with you. This seems to be a kit for one person with no training as there is a one person tent and one sleeping bag. A cheap folding saw and bic lighter plus materproofed matches. Without training and with no included tinder most person's will likely not get a fire going. A cheap fixed blade (like a mora) and a folding saw is safe and easy to use. With some tinder and a small candle almost anyone could make a fire. It seemed strange that it did not include something like a sleeping pad. Bulk is an issue, but you did not have anything. Contractor bags to fill for something to sleep on would be ok. A newbie will not build much with cordage, so I understand that only the bracelet was included. Did you notice that they had a mylar blanket in the first aid kit? A water bottle, a slightly bigger container to cook in and a twig stove would also make the kit a lot bettter. Some instant coffe and a decent cup to drink the coffe from should also be included.

[@Rohan4711]

@VaderxG It was not meant as a list for a bug out bag. I only tried to point out a few changes that would have made the kit a lot better for the rookie buyer that I believe the kit is aimed for. A rookie buyer will in most cases not go out and test a kit in reality to find it's weaknesses and then complement the kit, so it is important that the kit is complete and easy to use without training. The changes I suggested is low cost, and several item can be removed from the kit to more than make up for the added items. For instance adding a cheap fixed blade knife and a folding saw when removing the axe should reduce cost and weight and make it much more useful.

[@lauraweiss7875]

The most important thing you can’t prepackage for survival is experience. With experience, you know what bundled overpriced garbage looks like before you buy, and with experience, you can take just a few quality items and cover most of your needs. When I had zero extra cash, I spent hours practicing cutting wood, cooking on a fire, setting up a tent or tarp, and filtering water. Now I’m 58, and I have the cash to buy a Granfors Bruk axe, a Feathered Friends down bag and a hot tent, but the most valuable tool I have is experience to know how to use them and how to get by without them. It’s sad that people want “instant” survival. Love your videos!

About eighteen months ago I bought about five 200gm zip-lock bags of Chia seeds, the kind of bags with a round stable base that can stand up straight. Good _thick_ plastic. I found that each one holds 500mls of water. The zip locks are great quality and I can carry all of them in a small orange bag (I live on a citrus farm!) The orange bag can be used as a net. Anyway, I carry them in the bottom of my first aid kit. It's astonishing how useful 'found' items can be.

[@japethrandolph3043]

I mean you're definitely right it's not worth the $$$ but for someone who doesn't know survival id say this bag is pretty straight forward and can help even a novice achieve survival 🤷‍♂️ its probably not geared towards someone with your skills. Great review 👍

Thank you again!

[@MechanicShananigans]

Maybe you could setup a few different levels of bags or styles of bags on your Amazon influencer or pathfinder link. Maybe 1 for urban, with radios, battery banks and sleeping pads. And have another for the average Joe driving long distance between work in a SHTF, and get back home scenario. And say a third being the "get lost and kick the woods ass" pack with all the premium gear for extended stays. Either way, OUTSTANDING job on an honest review from experience.

[@kennethowenby2600]

Awesome idea

[@valstarkgraf]

Agreed. What most people honestly need is a good basic car kit that can flex to both wild or urban interface. I've lived through big earthquakes, wildfires, and roads closed by rock and mudslides. You really never know when natural disaster or car trouble will put you in an emergency situation. I also wish these things had better stove options. I'm not paid by Firebox, but something like the Firebox Nano G2 packs small and light, isn't fiddly asembly, and has add ons to accomodate five or six kinds of fuel would be better than a solid fuel stove with no fuel or a grate that can only be used over open fire. There were so many possibilities, but I feel like a "good, better, best" approach to what could go in a bag would be helpful. I know he's done stuff in the past breaking down bug out bags, but gear and tech evolves, and there are some great things that can be game changers that didn't exist a few years ago, or else better versions of what was out there that fix the bugs of previous versions.

Best for a person to know all the things they might need and piece it together yourself with quality. The one gal. Container would probably melt by the hot water, fairly sure of it.I can see by the texture, sound,and flexibility the quality of the thin plastic. I do really like having several of those disinfectant pads but yes ide put my own first aid kit together also. Most are junk. I always like some kind of small towel or washcloth, a must.if you have massive bleeding and need a pressure bandage verse a tourniquet. Many bandages are not large enough. Most of those Chinese kits have junk metal tools and devices. Thanks for the good review. Cut them no slack, they really don’t care about the people. The compass could get a person in real trouble. You never want a compass that needle sticks all the time. Even a good compass can throw you off a lot. I’ll say even the military gets ripped off from bogus gear.

Yes it did, but you are a professional w/extensive training & knowledge, which in my opinion, makes a big difference on survivability. People need to realize that.

thank you for doing this video. its tempting to get a bug out kit, but your ctitique exposes it for the gimmick it is. im selecting items for my kit individually based on durablility, usefulness, weight and neccesity. love your channel

[@dand4217]

I would like to see you make a Corporals Corner’s version of this bag and I bet it would be cheaper and better quality than the stuff inside the one in that bag I will say the idea of the pop up tent for a quick shelter was good if you get caught in bad weather in short notice

[@dand4217]

I should have added it could made and sold by him I would buy one

[@shadomane]

For $500 a person could put together a good bug-out/get home bag with decent quality gear and cover the 5/10 C's easily. Your assessment of that kit was right on. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully anyone who is learning will see this and get directed to your's or Dave's channel and get the right information on how to build a proper kit.

[@williamwatson840]

Yep ! better to make it your self.. To many toys. The ten "C" are simple but well thought out. As you say buy what you can to start with and buy better quality when you can to replace cheaper stuff. I thought you were right on about this kit. Thanks again .

[@shughes4113]

An honest review based on experience. I believe you’ve thrown down the gauntlet to yourself. I would love to see what your choices for an updated version of your BOB/GHB is like now with the variety of gear you have had a chance to utilize in your adventures. Can’t say enough about how much I enjoy the content. Keep it up!

Corporals Corner, those Baofeng radios will scan when they are on channel 16, but they only scan the other 15 memories that are programmed into them. Expect around 1/2 mile to a mile as they are very low output (around 1 watt). Great video as always!

[@bob3036us1958]

I will buy your ready to go bag when you come up with it.

[@MarkCatoN]

How about a CorporalAF bugout bag. Moving on to another video of yours now, like the channel, keep it up.

[@mjay8128]

I would like to see you build a bug out bag of your choice.

[@joshpaschal17]

YESS!! I second this!!

[@shughes4113]

I third this!

[@jparker4293]

Thank you for yet another outstanding video. There is a huge divide between survival gear and survival. Much like you said the companies creating the survival gear kits do not use it. The item put into the kit might fall into one of the 10 C's but are not compatible with the other items like in this kits case that you showed in the video, the water storage and filtering. The gallon container is great for base camp storage but some purification tablets would be easier when in use, or perhaps a plastic bag 2 liter bottle so you could collect the dirty water in the bag/bottle and connect it to the filter to fill the gallon container. Anyway what I am trying to say is we (as a consuming community) need less gimmicks and more practical items in these kits. Or perhaps just fallow Dave's 10 C's and build our own kit.... Again Thank you for the video I really enjoyed it.

[@lewisseward4521]

Love your practical no nonsense comments. Your point as well taken about the people that put packs like that together aren’t the ones that actually go out in the field. Best used for that pack would be a doorstop

[@porty2097]

Shawn, you should make your own brand of a bug out bag. Great review it’s the same way I feel about most bug out bags great video.

[@chitownshowtime5246]

Time for the Corporals Bug out AF kit. Make one for us it will sell like hot cakes. 🔥

[@isidfynch2398]

Really appreciate all your videos! The way you break it down and explain things practically is top notch

Great video, I have a suggestion. How about you create that bug-out bag. I would like to see how you would have created a better one. I know I would buy it. Thanks

[@terrymyers6575]

I would really like to see what you come up with for $250. A video on that would be great and it would help a lot of people think about what they would actually need in a bugout bag. What ya say, you know you want to.

[@terrymyers6575]

Oh yeah, after you make the bag and test it, market that $h!+.

[@Jaden48108]

I'd rather see him make one for $500 then compare the two.

[@cantsleeponlife5966]

In defense of Denver Survival, I bought a $240 bugoutbag from them. Why you ask? I wanted a premade bag. I checked a few other companies and denver survival was quite a bit better. Mine came with a huge molle backpack, good knife, water and filter I drink straight out of the creek so I use it constantly, paracord, really cool paracord belt, the first aid kit is very comprehensive, and I'm sure that I'm forgetting a few other things, but bottom line, it is a lot better than my friends. You got to remember that most of these companies premade kits are really bad. I would say that Denver survival makes the best pre made

[@scottka]

You should put together your own Complete Bug out Bag, test it, and have a contest to give it away. Just a thought.

[@truthfilter]

i agree

[@rictecilder]

Reach out to a bugout bag company and put a good kit together, or put a list on Amazon of what you would include in a Bugout bag. Would love to see your three day, five or seven day packs.

[@terrymyers6575]

Would like to see a three, five, or seven day review, like a 20 or 30 min vid for each day. It could be a Corporal's Corner Christmas special. Just a thought.😉

[@dancallan5964]

You nailed it Shawn! I don’t understand why a wealthy company like Amazon couldn’t pay you to make a useful bug out bag for a everyday person, and for $500 dollars why? I always watch your videos especially when it comes to making knots, I try to practice making one knot at a time until I master it and move on to another knot, especially when it comes to making a secure ridge line, awesome videos , keep it up, knowledge is power, greatest tool we have is our mind

[@samwilliams5283]

I was also thinking $250 at Walmart would put that Amazon to shame.

[@austin_bennett]

The Wal-Mart survival challenge was really interesting & I highly recommend watching it. I personally own the backpack used in that video & I really do enjoy it just be aware it's not water proof

[@IVector377]

The practical minimalist demonstrations you have been doing have found the target. Fire for effect!

[@jonathanz4987]

I'd love to see a video of your preferred version of a bug out bag, Corporal style.

[@davidvitale9338]

So Corporal- when do you assemble and start selling the CC bug out bag?

[@ziamarie]

Can confirm the kits like that on amazon are like 80% garbage. Itd be awesome if you put together a kit of what you think would be best to have/get.

[@silverousleonidas5790]

Anyone else curious what a Bug Out bag designed by the Corporal would look like? I’d buy it.

[@cloudraker100]

Great video. I feel the same way about pre-made kits. I helped a neighbor put together a earthquake kit after the pre-made one he bought had the water leak and the sleeping bags roted out. He paid about 500.00. We did for 120.00 using 5 gal buckets for storage with separate water containers.

[@whoever6458]

Tourniquets save lives! So I bought a first aid kits several decades ago that didn't provide a tourniquet but had instructions that told you how to make them out of things that you might have. I was stoned and so I read all the instructions for various kinds of first aid that also came with the kit I bought and I read about the tourniquet. Well, the very next day, we were all super drunk and my roommate decided to kill herself after I had already passed out drunk. She decided to call out for help, which woke me up. She had blood spraying everywhere on the patio but my drunk ass remembered what I had read the night before from those instructions in my first aid kit so I managed to stop the bleeding tying the very first tourniquet that I had ever tied in my entire lifetime and I was like 19 years old or something. There are lots of plants everywhere you go that have antimicrobial properties to them but you need a tourniquet that works and you can't be fucking around to find something when someone is bleeding out. My friend is alive to this very day even because, when you need a tourniquet, you fucking need a tourniquet now!

[@TheBetterManInBlack]

The bag performed (or would have) its intended function perfectly. The issue is determining its intended function. That kit could have sat forever in the corner of the trunk of some yuppie's BMW looking cool and made him feel first tier all the way.

[@capt.eldoncsummers6689]

Hey Shawn, as a former USAF PJ, I am sooo so glad we could make up our own junky kit but I'm in awe of all the shinyness of this one. I'll take 3, they're small,,,LOL. An old adage is, I'd never ever get caught dead with that stuff.....Well, yeah you would after about 72 hrs or less. They should've also included in the least a note pad so you could write your name so next of kin could be notified. JS~

[@Jaden48108]

Hello former USAF PJ- YOU AND YOUR FELLOW PJ's ARE AWESOME!

[@stevestumpy6873]

You should put together a bug out bag, and maybe sell it at self reliance out fitters. For water containers I carry two empty 1/2 gallon Ice tee containers, one for clean and one for unclean. The empty jugs, tied to your pack, will help with flotations if you have a mishap.

[@SybleKabible]

I have never seen anybody with the approach to a bug out bag like you did in this video, thank you very much! Please keep up the good work

[@ladybear1103ify]

I about bugged out when you said $500! I was thinking maybe $50. No thanks I made my own bag thats a lot nicer for a lot less money.
