Either you are getting shadow banned or all the people asking for “old stuff”/gear reviews/survival vids don’t actually care to see them .. they just want you to stay in one category and not venture out. Which is it? Maybe both?

[@nancypaws6901]

Thanks for the review. I am not going to be staying outside but that would be a nice kit to keep it my glove compartment in my truck. 🐈👍. God bless you and stay safe.

[@mudinmyeye2881]

Thanks for the review but these things are NOT my thing for this type of thing. I'd rather pay top dollar for the good stuff.

[@gracefrederick8177]

@@mudinmyeye2881 you are in the majority there, but the minority when push comes to shove and it’s time to enter that card information. Too many people wanting quality American made for cheap china prices. I have the same problem. I watch jack get complaints about stuff made in china that he promotes but then turn around and also get mad when they think something is priced to high being American made. Can’t win.

@@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869 cheap can be expensive and quality can be found in the recycling bin. Plenty of overpriced 'cheap crap' around, and loads of heirloom quality, undervalued items around. Just gotta know where, when and how to seek the best and avoid the rest :)

[@nyshockartist]

I appreciate that even though this "kit" was sub par, it wasnt just a negative bashing review, even though it was from China. I appreciate that you accepted it from what it is, and how it can be approved upon. Thanks!!

[@Majesticwalker77]

Well stated. I definitely agree.

[@TheAcolyte01]

I just learned this recently, China pays a lot to sell their shitty items here in the US so buying China products helps the US economy.

[@unstopable_rob]

Best thing in this kit is the lid that says "SOS" on it because signaling

To me the best thing is the container. I can use it to make my own mini survival kit.

I have a funny feeling that the flashlights he sells are ALSO chinesium. prolly why he mentioned that the light is fine... lol

[@Isaura21s]

Only dumb people think that there's a war between China and US or whatever capitalistic country. There isn't a war between communism and capitalism. There is a war between government and residents worldwide, and it's gonna be played out very soon. So get your survival kit

[@Isaura21s]

@RubyTuesday If you think there will be countries in 2027, you have no idea what's comming. The US deserves to go down anyways, for all the wealth it steals from other countries and all the monstrosities it does to worldwide citiziens, without ever being held accountable. US has invented the most disgusting tecnological weapons, and it will pay for It!!

U looked like you were in pain doing that review lol

[@bryantdavis3710]

This is a good response to all the people who said your kits cost too much, which I said for the quality, etc. they absolutely were not overpriced. My opinion on these kinds of small "state minimum insurance" kits is they should follow the PLAN acronym as laid out in the SAS survival manual.

[@badmoon7549]

The whole kit is in the words, Wish! I sure wish I could survive.

I bought one of these kits, fire starter works good and the card I used the wrenches one time to tighten the side post battery terminal screws on my car

[@jasholden9741]

I bought several of those empty boxes on Ebay and built my own kits. A Victorinox knife like the Farmer, Camper or Hiker will fit. They also have the box but painted white and with a red cross for a little First Aid kit you build.

[@ghosttube6525]

"Cause I guess alot of people like supporting China" 😂😂

[@mister_stang]

Ironic considering the flashlights that carry his branding are Chinese.

[@Martin42944]

If you watch this and think "Oh thats a great deal. I should get this!" You're missing the point. Its about skills and practice, not the gear. If you know how to use it, even a cheap kit will work. If you don't have the skills then you just paid $7 for a paper weight.

[@Smalltown-1776]

I liked the production quality of this video u guys made something I’ve seen a million times & made it entertaining still 👍

[@ryanjones4917]

I do the same if other options are available.

[@debramillion8433]

You can use cotton balls with vaseline on it and it's a pretty good fire sustained after you get the fire started which will make the fire on it last longer until you get the fire started pretty good under some tinder.

[@ChipmunkRapidsMadMan1869]

For $13.00 get a meat cleaver at Walmart. A ferocerium rod $5.00 And a little compass. Simplicity at its finest with reliability to boot. $6.00 3.5 times the money. Miles above in pure utility.

[@imran6223]

Good luck for you

[@michaelslisher4652]

In my current situation, I would buy a better, i.e. more expensive kit. Or do what I have already done and assemble my own for hand-picked components. BUT, having said that, there was a number of years when I was young and raising a family on a single income that a cheap kit like this would have been all I could justify. So I can see a market.

[@thom4446]

A P38 is a small can opener. The Marines call it a John Wayne.

Oh no! Got mine fom ebay! Haven't tested it yet tho so thanks! Went by reviews too.

[@dumanhieu]

Always a good video with clarity and purpose to help those who might not be able to afford better quality and dependable survival tools. I take survival a bit more serious however, because it is my life and possibly others in tow that might depend on such equipment. So, depending on anything but the best doesn't fit my nature. I make my own survival kit like many of us do with top of the line products even if I have to save up to make those purchases over time. You get what you pay for and my life as well as anyone who might be in need is well worth whatever the cost. As always thanks so much for sharing especially for those living on a very tight budget which these days are a large portion of America. Thanks Brother keep up the good work. Oh! And, by the way I don't support or buy anything if possible from china. Unfortunately, it is hard to do since America has lost most of it's manufacturing to china and other Countries. And, unless you are diligent and read all the labels something you use to buy made in America is now made in china or somewhere else. Be diligent!

[@jasonpittman7470]

Jack. Thanks for the content. Great as always. Know you don’t support 5.11(Chinese made) and I heard you say something about not supporting Triple Aught anymore, which I agree with. Question is what pants do you recommend for storing in vehicle with Bug Out bag? Anyone else fee free to chime in. Thanks.

[@jayheavyequipmentoperator1208]

I appreciate the fact that you would take the time to show people the pros and cons to purchasing cheap China material. I think that this type of Kit would be okay for a young child in the beginning stages of enjoying the outdoors or maybe just to have for a backup in your vehicle or at work but the reliability of it is not that great. So I am in agreement with you on this video I would rather have a Leatherman or at least a Gerber yeah you have to pay a little more for it but like the old saying goes you get what you pay for

[@garyliu6589]

The box is nice

[@robertlarsen6516]

Bwahaha! Bwahaha!! Awesome! I’d buy that for my seven year old to play with. Actually, he may be upset I cheaped out on him. He’d love the flashlight, though! Thanks!

While I don't see this kit being issued out to the Navy Seals or Green Beret any time soon, for $7.00, I think it's ok. I'd pay that much for that cool little whistle.

Someday someone will come out with a strong small flashlight that lasts. I carry one in my " purse" which is a small messenger bag. Only big enough to fit a Glock 20, 2 inch flash light and ID. The light isn't bright after 10 minutes. ( Glock in bag is for size comparison only)

[@henryvandeventer2457]

My wife bought me one off Wish as a present "cause it look useful and has lots of stuff in it" Didn't have the heart to tell her it's pretty much crap. It's a bigger one that cost around $10 with a hard plastic clip case (pelican case copy) that's actually pretty sturdy and waterproof and the whistle is decent. Has a small compass (not button) that is accurate and still works after a few months (I wouldn't rely on it only, but as a last ditch backup it would do) Everything else was useless. The "multitool" broke when I tested it, the small folding blade bent by the lock and I threw out the water purification tablets as there is no way I would even consider trusting them. All in all though the case is very good so it wasn't a total waste of money 🤦‍♂️😂

[@trucker8666]

You did right,if you would have told her , no more surprises for you

[@jimstillwell4668]

I made my own kit. Leatherman squirt muiltitools work very well. The saw I got at the dollar store, it works better than the wish kit. Also most of the items can be acquired from harbor freight. It costs a bit more,but you can pick and choose more quality items. Don’t think I will be buying the wish kit. Thanks for the info.

[@simonh6371]

If I did have such a kit I'd go with a Victorinox Hiker or Farmer, as the saw blade can accomplish anything shown in this vid with the saw or even the fixed blade. However I wouldn't make such a kit or at least it would be a lot different, since I already always EDC a Squirt or sometimes small folder with scissors (Victorinox Classic or Boker mini techtool) in my coin pocket, and a Victorinox (usually Farmer or Hiker) on my key carabiner hanging off a beltloop. If I go out into the woods or countryside even on a day hike or bike ride, I always take a bigger survival kit with poncho, food etc in a pouch or daysack anyway, so I don't really need a small tin type of survival kit.

[@frugalmum7943]

For $7 you can do much better. Start in your recycling bin. Add some gymmicky left over party favor crap such as: whistle, post Halloween clearance glow sticks, lip balm - useful fire starter. Add odds and ends from around the house, shed, garden... Such as heavy duty foil, oven proof bag (to boil water), zip lock bags, gorilla tape, mini bic lighter or two, twine... Etc
