Survival Kit In A Can Review - Survival Gear

[@moorshound3243]

someone should do a survival kit in a baked bean can, then you would have a decent size container for boiling water or cooking in, also the kit would be better as more room for things like a small knife & maybe a ration of some sort? Thanks for posting enjoyed your vid.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Pretty good idea.

[@moorshound3243]

Ah that's great cheers bud! I knew someone would have made a bigger better type of can kit, shame about the coating on the inside of the can you could burn it out maybe? Thanks again!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Anthony Dougherty Looks pretty good. Maybe I can get one to review some time.

[@Haneix1]

God i am suprised and impressed by this,at first i thought it was some gimmick but all in all not to shabby.Great video!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Haneix It is better than I expected too.

[@ACorlett48]

+Haneix Right!? I was really impressed with how much useful stuff he pulled out of that little sardine can. Thinking of the moments where a little pack of sugar and tea would make the difference is chilling and interesting. Add in a simple fish hook and strong "multi purpose" chord / thread... well all I can say is someone put some thought into this. And I'm gonna go buy a few haha.

[@Haneix1]

Acrltt Thanks for the reply!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Acrltt They did think it through pretty well. I would rally like to see a small Bic lighter but even that takes up a lot of room in so small a tin.

[@ACorlett48]

Survival On Purpose Maybe a sliver of magnesium of whatever they make those fire starters out of. Just enough of anything to make a spark so you can avoid having to go straight to sticks.

[@larrystuder8543]

I knew a Canadian guy. He said they never went into the woods without Lipton's CupANoodle soup. In those days, it came in an envelope about the size of a little packet of sugar. He said it had zero nutritional value, but it made a warm drink. It was a morale booster, a comfort food.

[@_MrBread]

For $13 this can sure is packed... But i think i has some space... They could've put in a flint and a striker too and some aquatabs to clean water... And that kit will come in very handy

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

But then it probably wouldn't be $13 anymore.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

The kit was better than I thought. Too bad it doesn't have a reusable lid instead of a pull tab lid.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Prepper Potpourri Yep, that would be a big improvement, even just a plastic , snap on lid like comes on a peanut can. Just a way to keep everything together after you open it.

[@ayla3317]

@@SurvivalOnPurpose well, you can use that plastic bag to store the items

[@blairbushproject]

Well, I think the fact that is well sealed is is good, but adding an additional reusable lid would add value.

[@jimmytmccabe]

Brian, I have an idea. I call it the "medicine bag" survival kit. Native Americans have used neck pouches worn like necklaces around their necks, used like wallets in contemporary times, and historically, to hold medicinal plants/stones. The problem with many 10-piece kits, is they're often too bulky for what many wish to bring on day hikes, while the Altoids kits (and the mini-kits like the one in this video) although better than nothing, are inadequate. My idea is to hold a stainless steel flask bottle (1 1/2 cup capacity) in the "medicine bag" pouch. The bottle would look like a liquor flask, but wide-mouthed, curved (to have it rest snugly/comfortably against the sternum). It would be like an Altoids kit, but with superior ability to disinfect/contain water, and contain other better items due to its larger size/capacity. It could contain: a 16-ounce Platypus rolled-up, a Gerber mini-lock blade, a Bic mini-lighter, mylar blanket, parachute cord or bank line (or even smaller cord due to space constraints- i.e. dental floss), a Suunto button-compass, large needle/thread, mini-flashlight, duct tape and various other optional things (a small ferro rod, water-purification tablets, etc.). Some of the items could be held in slots or other pockets on the outside of the medicine bag. One principle that often gets overlooked is that while climbing, boating/kayaking/white-water rafting, or on other excursions- people can/do lose their packs. The plastic bags used in most Altoids kits are dangerously unreliable to continually contain water. Also, Altoids tins usually have insufficient space to contain a substantial cover element. One could argue that the back-up elements could be kept in pockets or on-person, but having these items attached to a person's belt, in pockets, around their wrists, is often bulky and cumbersome, and can result in frustrated people dumping everything into their packs. What is also cool about a medicine bag is that it acknowledges the rustic/traditional/primitive/Native American culture, yet still includes modern technology and Western culture. You could have someone make the bags (in America) or buy from a Native American company and then sell them with the bottles. Then, suggest via video things to make it an ideal back-up survival kit (which you could link to Amazon for the suggested contents). This would be an ideal Christmas gift! Let me know what you think...

[@mrahman5728]

acutely that's not bad idea.... try getting the things you listed and make it yourself to see if it works out first though

[@nostep8058]

I'd definitely buy that

[@yoadrian3814]

[@caleblf1012]

Maybe that's what the bag is for if not just use it anyways

[@ZacharyAustinVlogs]

Impractical, Its a ICE kit anyway. It'l keep people from getting in to it unless you actually need it, and when youre done you just stick all the contents in the Bag

[@tuyenmey7433]

[@brucewayne-cave]

Nice review... It would be helpful not to tear off the lid. Perhaps 50% or less _(15-20%)_ just enough to remove the contents, then boil tin almost vertically; that way the pull ring, can be used as a handle or hanging point for boiling.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Great idea.

[@LupusDeImmortalis]

Stumbled across your channel. (More specifically this video, But after watching I've subscribed.) And I've got to say I was actually impressed with the amount of tools and items you pulled out of such a small can. I think simply the fact that it is pocket sized and a sealed, steel container would make it a great additional to any survival kit. Loved the video. Keep them coming.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Bruce Bones I was pleasantly surprised myself. I still would hate to have to trust my life to it but it would be way better than nothing. And thanks for subscribing.

[@mrcrow8355]

when it comes to fire starting i much prefrer a flint em steel over matches

[@neyoid]

Matches are smaller so they can fit in the can

[@chrisbenton6661]

I agree flint and steel last way longer and are way more reliable than just a few matches. Plus you can always use the back of your knife

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

That's not bad at all. You could stick it in your general bag with your tarps and solar blanket and normal cordage, I tend to look for birch bark whenever I am out and pine resin and little dry pine branches and cones also certain fungi for tinder. But this was pleasantly surprising. I have a home made waterproof box with all or most of the stuff (I tend to take all in one coffe, milk & sugar sachets and make pine needle tea and that) but it had nearly everything I have in my box. A backup kit that fits in a pocket would be handy.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Anne Anderson (Foxiepaws) It was better than I expected.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

Survival On Purpose would definitely be a handy extra kit that you could fit in tiny spaces. I liked it too.

[@NathanPortelli19]

I'm not surely you knew but duct tape is also a great fire starter!

[@misslilkev2]

That's a handy little kit. I might buy it to add to my emergency go bag. It's not everything you need but it's compact and has a lot of great filler items.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+Orion It was better than expected.

[@jessycaadams501]

Chewing gum can be used for tension and stress. Also, the main ingredient in any gum is used for patching material AND explosives.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Jessyca Adams Good point.

[@sanansa4567]

good for an emergency backup because it is small. but I think a better option is a kit like this that is in a water tight plastic container that you can reseal... so you can keep items secure/dry after opening, especially when you are on the move.

[@matthewszwagulinski795]

You could heat up the needle and bend it for a fishing hook.

Hi Bryan: Much better than expected, and deffinately better than many at least two other pre made survival kits I have seen recently. I must admit I was surprised when the match lit up and one of the fire starters worked. If I had an empty can out there I would put the reflective tape on the bottom of the can. It would do two things for you. a. Steady place for a mirror. b. Concave bottom would give you a parabolic fire starter when matches run out. I was actually impressed. Deffinately worth keeping in a pocket or glove box. I agree with you conpletely about keeping

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

MatoNupai I was honestly fairly impressed with this little kit, especially for something that probably came from Walmart.

[@whiterabbit201]

The ziplock bag could also be handy to keep your cell phone in while crossing rivers or streams until you find a signal, not to mention keeping the paper matches dry. The needle and thread could provide temporary emergency stitches to keep you from bleeding to death. A drop in blood sugar could result in fainting which could result in exposure to elements that might otherwise not occur, so the sugar is absolutely necessary.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+angusfan1212 Good points.

Just stumbled across this review and was glad to see it. I've had one of these survival kits in a can for years and never got around to opening it up to see all what was in it. Like you, I was pleasantly surprised at all the goodies in it. That thread/fishing line... did not expect that to hold up to the pull test. I just might have to go get new one to toss in my glove box. I don't think my 10 year old candy and gum will have held up, but you never know. ;)

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I would not test the candy. Trust me on that ;-)

[@RussNo1]

Remove the plastic from the lid. It can be used as a small frying pan or signaling device. The gum and candy is for keeping saliva flowing so your mouth doesn't dry out. If you add a small magnet you can use the twist tie and thread to make a compass more accurate than most mini compasses. The nails (may have 1000 uses) must can be most useful to make a spear or fishing gig or blow gun darts. As you said, it's better than nothing, but I've seen better home made kits.

I clicked this excited to see what a canned survival kit would look like. The sealed can makes sense to waterproof it, but it can't be resealed like other kits. Wish there were 2' of duct tape, that soup seems like the last thing I'd want in a survival situation, that salt would just further dehydrate you. Paper matches paired waterproof ones are great. Thread will work as fishing line or to sow up a bad cut and the brass wire would be great for traps. The whistle would be good to get attention of medics or rangers. I wonder if the compass will hold true North, if so that might be the best thing in the kit. The reflective tape would probably be best suited for a rigged lure. All in all thank you for this video, this is a pretty nifty survival kit.

Survival On Purpose What happened to family friendly part?

[@unclearless]

I honestly thought this was going to be a joke/prank video. But I have to say, the contents in that little can are a _heck_ of a lot better than nothing! Thanks for the video.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

I was a little surprised myself. Thanks for watching.

[@plierhygemes6823]

nice review thanks

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

+PLIER HYGEMES Thanks

[@HoboRoadrunner]

For those trying to find it at a store it is a hard thing to do but I went to a rural king department store here in Effingham Illinois and they sale this kit for 7.98$

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Cool

[@poorsurvialest]

i keep nails in my survival kit

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

poorsurvialest Good idea.

[@wackyfox5046]

poorsurvialest nails come in handy for marking trails. Permanent shelter. I’ve used nails to split wood because it’s all I had

[@shawnsoutdoorsurvival8017]

These are nice to give to a friend to keep in their glove box of their car. There are a lot of non-survivalist out there and this could help them out in a pinch. Yeah it's not TOP NOTCH gear, but it could help. Love the show Brother !

+Shawn McBride Thanks

No water purification tablets minus 10 points.

[@doodlebob-t1t]

Lol do you not know how to boil water?

[@Thlormby]

+Da_Fisherman you can't always start a fire.

[@devynnthefrog]

+Corvus ELO if you have sticks and rocks you can

[@PlantKitty]

It would be nice to have one in a mason jar, more room for stuff, and the jar works as a container for a lot of other things too. Might be able to diy it

[@tonysanchez5952]

Cool little set up for something cheap. That tin can be used as a bowl or cup for boiling water or cooking some food also

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

yep

[@lenmorris9164]

I generally keep one of theses and a cheap space blanket in my pack just to hand to some I may meet on the trail that may have lost their gear

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

That's nice of you.

[@hey.hombre]

FYI The compounds in most teas, especially darker ones, can provide soothing and immediate relief to burning, irritated or wounded skin in many cases. Simply place a used and moist tea bag on the affected area and let it go to work. This can be used for sunburns, minor scrapes and cuts as well as to reduce irritation from some insect bites. While this trick won’t work on every source of irritation, it is definitely worth trying. Tea bags are also good for cleaning the skin, and they can be used to help open pores and reduce occurrences of acne and certain rashes.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

cool

[@srvbluesmsn]

First time viewer. Even the lid can be utilized as a cutting tool. Awesome review of an item I would think is cheesy and not normally consider owning or making a part of my gear. We purchased a few and put one in each vehicle. Even put one in my day to say tool bag I carry around. Thanks I subscribed.

[@JohnSmith-tv5nt]

I imagine the thin blue cord that's pretty strong could be used for sutures too.and the Baggie is to keep everything in once out of the can,to keep it dry.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Good points

[@stephenellis3609]

You could use a nail to punch a hole through the can and tape to make the makeshift signaling mirror more accurate and the salt will replace lost electrolytes if you’re sweating.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Indeed.

[@mancubus_gaming3411]

To be honest I learn a lot from you Brian you are a smart guy

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks Daniel

[@shempeym]

Thats a pretty good can, didnt expect it to have all those in one package. The candy can keep u goin for a couple of hours. Nice

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

better than nothing for sure

[@MikeViLLaZ]

you can use the tin lid as a cutting tool as well

[@cbigg81]

Well I wasn't wrong, these little kits always kinda disappoint but that's probably the best prepackaged kit I've seen. Thanks!

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Better than nothing

[@scottsurvival6960]

I remember when you posted this. Glad you're still going strong.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[@ironfae]

My dad kept these brand of tins for years. Personally, I’d rather have one that included a knife, ferro rod, and a lid. This would only be a last resort resource, but definitely not my first choice.

[@iametoh]

So I think this kit is a tad more comprehensive than the latest kit in a can you've reviewed. I'm going to purchase a few now. Thank you~

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Thanks for watching.

[@fitzpattrickwalsh1318]

Looks like a great little kit for a hike and something goes wrong. And you are stuck out over night caught in a sudden storm handy in my book.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Definitely better than nothing

[@meatloafzombie]

A lot of the items could be paired. Use the shiny tape as a lure feature on a hook. Rub bullion on the heavy string as bait for a dead fall.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

meatloafzombie Good ideas. That just goes to show that even a less than perfect kit like this can be useful if you have the knowledge and skills to take full advantage of the stuff inside.
