Survival Gear - My 3 Favorite Items

[@BarryDutton]

Great video Bryan. The reasons you gave for having that firestarter were REALLY good reasons, good lesson right there. Appreciate the humour and your funny TM stuff on this channel including but not limited to -- Survival Skunk appearances. WTG Chris Tanner for sending you that TOPS, nice move.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Barry Dutton Yeah, he's a great guy. And...skunk? What skunk?

[@Kenstagator]

I remember you made a top 3 question saying it's hard for you to pic favorites.But honestly, it seems like you're doing fine work. Keep it up. :)

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks!

[@howardvarley8795]

Im glad its you lugging that lump ( Tops Tahoma) around.

[@semco72057]

The knife, canteen, and fire starter kit would be my favorite three tools also and I have a military issued canteen with the case which is on my military utility belt.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@devonny01]

Love you man thanks for everything thing you do

+Devon Wayne Thanks

[@tikkidaddy]

Three great choices I can't honestly say I wouldn't pick the same items!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. I just keep it simple

[@ronaldjacobs8169]

I like the bloopers ;) My favourite surviving gear are my knife, my fire striker and my self made weatherproof Native American Flute.

[@babbagum7721]

Whatever camera you use. This is just awsome. Thanks from Germany. Keep up the good work.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Babba Gum Thanks

[@They_drew_first_blood]

Germany's now a Muslim country. Better convert to Islam if you wanna survive the 2020s. Your essential "survival" gear will be a book known as the Koran.

[@NorwegianWoods]

I like what you say about keeping the survival stuff as a backup to your camping stuff. I see so many people that carry a nice sturdy knife on the belt and a cheap one as a backup. I think that can be the wrong way around. Thanks for sharing - Martin

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+NorwegianWoods I agree

[@zBMatt]

Jute twine, survival blanket, knife. I get shelter, I can do a pretty effective bow fire, I can make traps, I can fish, I can do the birch bark hot rock water boil method so no pressing need for a container.

[@charleslarson3152]

Thumbs up. However I can do the boot and one hand fire strike with my 6" by 1/2" ferro rod. It was Magnus who turned me on to that beast and I got mine on ebay for 12 bucks, complete with woven lanyard and striker. And while I own several rods, it's my number one fire beast in that category!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Charles Larson I hear you. I just like the "absolute no experience needed' aspect of the Lightning Strike.

[@broadwayFan28]

Since this is favorite instead of a 3 most needed list, I'll offer stuff I like most. 1. Coffee can stove. It is a 3 pound coffee can made like we did in 1960s cub scouts. Inside is an alcohol stove and a 1 pound coffee can with bails. 2. 32 oz gatorade bottle with paracord around the lip to hang it on my belt, backpack or just about anything else. It's wrapped in gorilla tape. 3. My little lunch cooler haversack. It carries a bunch of cool stuff and there is a plastic removable bucket inside, perfect was washing or gathering water.

[@justinpackard5148]

you should try making some of your own firestarters,cotton balls dipped in paraffin oil and melted candle wax, let them cool, and they catch a spark easy and burn hot and for awhile! just a little cheaper than buying them and pretty much the same thing!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Justin Packard I have made them before. I rarely use artificial fire starters, I just keep them for emergencies.

[@turtlewolfpack6061]

Four good, solid choices. As for the fire starter, I'm pretty sure that I said in your initial review that although I won't ever buy it (way too much other gear on the Lust List), it is still a pretty solid looking chunk of kit.

[@rudysal1429]

it is definitely not something most people on here would choose but he made a solid point for having one in an actual survival situation, with say family or some friends, when nobody else knows how to use a ferrorod and you may be injured.

[@ROE1300]

I enjoy rewatching these older videos. I agree the Lightning Strike fire starter is crazy expensive, BUT I have the miniature version in my car and in my “essentials” pouch in my backpack for the reasons you mention in this video.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

They didn’t have the miniature when I bough this one. It is a great emergency tool.

[@ROE1300]

Survival On Purpose Yes sir, it is. Just FYI, my “AmEx” knife is a 9” Strömeng lueku and I also have the Canteen Shop canteen cook set. So, basically you were 3 for 3 comparing your choices to mine.

[@n1iex]

GOOD CHOICES LOVE THE LIGHTING STRIKE HAVE ONE IN EACH OF MY KITS!

[@jelkel25]

If you hike/walk/ramble in the UK as well as Bush Craft, you have to keep your knife out of sight much of the time and to not attract attention it's best to keep the knives smaller (and less threatening looking) when going to some places. I just stick to Mora's at present and they're great. The Crusader 2 cook kit is tough to beat as long as you don't have a thing against Aluminium. When the weather drops you appreciate a full Clipper lighter but there's a fair few good spark rods out there these days that are good so I don't have a favourite.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+jelkel25 it's too bad that so many people feel threatened by the sight of a knife

[@jelkel25]

Survival On Purpose A lot of the time they're not threatened at all it's just an excuse to be the centre of attention and to mess with someone else's day.

[@jackwalsh1468]

Bryan, strangely enough I, use the Tahoma Field Knife, Lighting strike and Pathfinder cook set as well. Well worth the coin spent. Keep the great videos coming. Cheers, Mate.

You definitely have some good choices, Bryan. Greetings from Pittsburgh. Laura

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Lellobeetle Thanks Laura

[@stevelucier8346]

Thanks Brian! I couldn't agree with you more on the large knife and striker. Experience from my youth forward and in the Scouts with a Bowie style knife is all I need to know. I strongly prefer clip point. Utilizing the striker with a messed up hand or two. Well I'm already at a loss there. Now that canteen/cook cup/stove kit in SS is exactly what I am looking to buy. I'd like a little more with the stove but there may be a way to add to it without adding bulk. The goal is to store them in a sling pack and if needed have the ability to wear them on a belt making room for additional things one might pick up on the way. Several items inside the pack are things able to be mounted outside the pack for fast access again making room to toss additional items inside.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

The canteen is at Self Reliance Outfitters

[@stevelucier8346]

Just placed the order from SRO plus the canteen cup Snap Fit Lid. Even Ramen noodles can be too much for the wife to eat in one meal yet safe to store a while. SRO has the canteen kit on sale through Monday, July 30. Basically adds up to free shipping.

[@Kayakwinds]

A good video. I have a question for you. Let's say that it is 3:00 PM and you are on your way home Your vehicle is in the garage, so a workmate is giving you a ride home . Moments later, a horrible hurricane strikes and you both end up stranded along a rural highway. What survival items do you have on your person to help you survive?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Kayakwinds Not nearly enough. But, I almost NEVER ride with someone else.

[@RealitySurvival]

Three great choices!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Reality Survival Thanks JJ

[@tonystites2134]

nothing like a good parracord belt to hold all that stuff with, so you would have plenty of cord to make shelter and stuff

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

hHahahahaha yah I just made one 😎😎😎

[@bradleydewey1548]

I like the video I would recommend a magnet for the cup and lid not to seal it but just kind of a stay put if it gets bumped or kicked to prevent loss of lid or lid in fire

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Hmmm.

[@stevelucier8346]

I bought the Pathfinder canteen cook set plus the "sealing lid which will be used". I hope someone sends or loans the TOPS Operator 7 knife to you for review soon. There are already 12 video reviews on the Operator 7 although not one actually uses the knife testing it for us to see. Hot spots, chopping etc?

[@normanmallory2055]

I looked at that model by Tops for quite awhile , but so far i have added to my Outdoor knives, my first was the Silent Hero, and my second was the Smoke Jumper.. Both of those knives i'm using mostly how to use them correctly... Each one has a place in the field ..

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

TOPS makes good knives for sure

[@bdcochran01]

I respect your choices in knives. You mentioned that you had a personal favorite stolen by a low rider. That has always been my concern. My two "survival knives" (because they are always with me when I leave home). I carry a plain blade, old, used original Spyderco Endura in my pocket. I have an Ontario TFI in the car. I have multiple TFIs. If one is stolen, I won't weep like I would if a TOPs knife were stolen. How much do I value the knife (which never gets reviews, by the way)? I gave my son a unit to carry in his car for shtf.

[@galenlong8022]

Hey Brian, good video, the Tahoma is a great knife, hard to beat knife right there. everything you had in here is solid gear, even the lightening strike. I like the idea of bigger is better, so in saying that I really wish they would come out with a new version of the lightening strike, but with a 1/2 " ferro rod that is replaceable. though a little bit larger set screw to hold the rod in place would be needed. I don't know if it would be cost effective but when can you really place a price on your own life. just thinking outside the box.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Galen Long The could call it the Thunderhead ;-)

[@galenlong8022]

Oh ok he has one already, I did not know he did it yet, there is am in the dark again

[@brucebain6538]

#1 I definitely agreed on the Canteen Cookware, right in the style of the U. S. Military Canteen Cup etc.. #2 Knives are general, so agree on your knives. The only reason to name a specific brand would be to make information specific to a complete beginner in survival gear. I have Shrades, but there are many good knives for the taking. #3 For the fire starter, the general category item is okay. We can all choose lighters, magnesium rods and so on. Very good choices. Also, did you know that many preppers are getting into Amateur Radio?

Those are worthy choices. I think a GI poncho and poncho liner, if they can be considered one item would be pretty essential. The poncho can double as a shelter and the woobie, well, it's like Linus' security blanket! For my second thing I would have to cheat and say my loaded pack lol. 3rd I would agree on the canteen & cup cookset. I have the Heavy Cover one and wish they would have made a stove/stand for it to fit, the GI one don't fit quite right, and you have to buy the cover separately. ATB -Curt

Is the Highlanger and the PLSK1 the same knife with a flat grind instead of a scandi???? BTW, Good choices that will serve anyone well in a bad situation. Since I live even further south than you do, I would have preferred a folding saw to the big chopper, but I know it wasn't in the criteria....!!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Todd Gibson I think they are slightly different blade shapes. The Highlander is available in several grinds including Scandi

[@medivedowncc]

Very impressed with the sheath for your Tahoma field knife. Could you direct me where to find one. Does it have a way of attaching the Lightning Strike or do you have an idea on making a way to attach it? There is a challenge. Once again Brian awesome job with the video. Stay safe, stay prepared and GOD speed.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

The sheath is just the standard one that comes with it. And, no, I haven't tried to connect my Lightning Strike to it. You could probably find a flashlight holster or tactical baton holster that fits and bolt it on. (Or use zip ties)

[@daltonvickers7977]

I have Daves canteen cook set with the new cover. I love it.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+dalton vickers It just plain works

[@silverhorder1969]

I hate thieves! I have had 2 guns stolen from an apartment years ago. One was a Marlin 30-30 that was my first gun. I hope you found who stole your knife? On another note, one survival thing I always carry is a HIGH QUALITY full body rain suit! When weather is so bad you can not get a fire going a rain suit like the Red Head lined rain suit with a sweat shirt & pants on underneath it can keep you warm and dry. Also a hammock with a rainfly to get you out of inclement weather quick, and off the ground.

[@pinocchiocozad1222]

Your thoughts on the buzz around the MIDLAND backpack 12 gauge?

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I have none

[@jamesaritchie2]

As you might expect, I think the sword-like knife is amateurish, and dangerous. I also think the Lightning Strike is not only a useless gimmick, but stops you from counting an object that is worth showing. The cook kit is a good one, though.. It needs the alcohol burner to be good enough to matter in a survival situation, but it's a good start as is. I prefer the Pathfinder bottle kit because a lot more gear goes into a far smaller space, but the canteen kit is good.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+James Ritchie As you might expect, I think the knife is a very good one tool choice. And I don't see how you can call the Lightning Strike "useless". I only bought it for dire emergencies but I have used it a few times in demonstrations and it has worked flawlessly EVERY time. That seems to be the very opposite of useless. I have the bottle kit also but for some reason I like the canteen better. Go figure.

[@richardelliott9511]

Good choices even though you cheated a bit on the knives, I would have also. I must have watched this one before, went to push the like button and it was already done. I have that same canteen and love it. Every time I go out I have the debate with my self over big knife, hatchet or saw, I'm like a fish and flip flop back and forth on that one, usually depending on what wood I expect to be availible if any or who's opinion I listened to most recently. My big "but" is over that fire rod, can't get past the $, for the same amount I can have multiple good big 5 or 6 inch fire steels, which are far easier to use than all of those little ones that are so popular, stashed every where, so I never have to worry about losing one or being more than a couple of steps from a back up. I respect your choice just not the same priority as mine. My life is littered with small pieces of gear that I have lost or that just plain disappeared so back ups are most important for me. Yeah, I know you said survival not camping but the two can be very hard to seperate and hopefully most of us will never have to experience a true survival situation. As usual, nice job and enjoyed your presentation.👍

Say Heah Brian, Thanx Buddy for the heads up on that firestarter. Please send me the name Please. I also have the same cooking set up, I love stainless steel for that too. Our knives are a little different and with alot of knives to choose from, But I have to stich with my Swamp Rat, On almost all longer trips. My Fav's are my Rodent 7 and my Rodent 4, but I also like a neck knife. But I change, because I have a few other Fav's. But that firestarter did catch my attention. Thanx.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+paulie 4x it is a Lightning Strike

[@paulie4x1]

I'll check it out Thanx, A couple of years ago, I bought from Grizzly Fire starters a Magnisium Rod, The two I bought, one comes with a wood handle the other one foods into a meral, Both have a ferrosium rod on a larger piece of nagnisium, Tgat stuff will burn on water, so I have a nice supply of tgat too, Thanx, Brian. I pulled the trigger on the Battle Horse Attitude, But I'm having mine thinned down to 5/32" and curved with a High Scandi Vex Grind with a White Handle with a Blue Liner. I almost seriously injured my foot with my Bokor Plus Black Vox Rold. The knife was dangerously loose in the sheath that stuck me deep into my foot, it took 3 days to stop the bleeding, but since my tetanus shot is still good I Doctored myself, although I like the look of it and is fairly well made. So I took the Frog off my Cold Steel Sheath and it fit perfectly, now my Rold Sheath has a belt carry and I love it, F.Y.I..

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@jonnyboat2]

Hi Brian, about the Tahoma, 2 things, what are the 2 slots on the top of the knife's spine about midway back for? Why did you choose the Tahoma over say a BK7? They both have similar features. Just curious.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

The notches are for scoring and I chose it because I liked it and I knew Andy a little and wanted to support him.

[@jonnyboat2]

+Survival On Purpose Btw, I tried out my schrade 51 today. I made a couple of walking staffs. It did a really good job and the spine scrapes like crazy. I was impressed at how agile it is and versatile. I also got to try out my Ontario Marine Raider. That is one heck of a chopper. Really nice. I would like to get a 7" blade schrade now for batonning. I think the Midwest scales are the way to go with schrade instead of the rubbery type. Thanks for your reviews.
