This Survival Kit Could Save Your Life!

[@dougbotimer8005]

Good video. The kind of kit I grew up with based on the 10 Essentials through Scouting and carried into a tour in Marine infantry and Mountain Warfare. Not a survival kit in the sense of a standalone kit, but just the tools you’ll use in the outdoors. I like add another “C”, comfort. Toilet paper, insect repellent and even a light boo-boo kit are essentials to me. And one more “C”, calories. A bit of high calorie food can go a long way with that coffee to keep one going.

Hey Bart, thanks for sharing your haversack setup! Awesome bit of gear. Was wondering what is the watch and bush pants you are wearing? Thanks

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Thank you for sharing this informative video. That's quite a good mini survival kit. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 🤗 👋

[@bsd9230]

Is that nesting cup from SRO, Stanley or someone else? Never seen one so high big. Great kit. Thought out gear. Cant go wrong with SRO and Daves gear. Love that man

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

The nesting cup is a Pathfinder cup from SRO. Thanks for watching!

[@coreopolis]

Well thought out contents and well presented, but honestly think that you’d do better with that much kit in a backpack or better weight distributing strap system.

[@flomax_actual]

cool short video and breakdown for the 10 C's you carry. Nice tip on banging on the stainless steel cup as an audible signaling device.

[@TracieHunter-v5p]

Good video interesting loadout. Only one thing is that Bigfoot has been known for making noise by beating on things people might think the hitting of the canester might just be Bigfoot and go the opposite direction

Looks like a great kit. I have much of the same. Just got the same Millbanks bag. I'd add in a roll of snarewire and some fishhooks, also soap and contractor bag. Thanks.

[@bsd9230]

🎉thanks! Watched again. Great job. Do you get most of your gear from SRO? Have you taken his classes. Perhaps you can make a video about it, experience etc... Love Dave Canterbury. Learned a lot from him and others like Shawn CC, Jake Trent Backyard Bushcraft etc🎉

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

I did get almost all of my gear from SRO. I am an instructor at The Pathfinder School, and work there with/for Dave.

[@davidafultz]

Nice set up! Coffee is the eleventh C.

[@jimmortimore3894]

Great video man! What by chance is the waxed canvas bag the water bottle is in??

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

It’s a Pathfinder canteen pouch, made by Duluth. They are sold on Self Reliance Outfitters website. You can click the link in my bio to go to the website. Thanks

[@bertsanford9156]

Well thought out kit of sensible size! Beats the crap out of those worthless mini kits in an altoids tin that have components to small to even use.

[@maxsparks5183]

“You gonna get on a snake out there.” My motto “when it’s green, stay in where it’s cool and clean”. 👍

[@miken7629]

Hanging a bag on my side keeps while hiking wants to put pressure on my neck plus adding a bottle bag & strap and feels like the straps are choking me. Carotid Arteries are on the sides right where the straps are tugging. To stop that I swing the bag around to my back and that keeps pressure off my neck, bag has a tendency to center on my back around the bag's center of gravity. You can remove the bottle bag strap and hang the bottle bag to your haversack strap but keep center of gravity in mind when deciding which side of bag to hang bottle bag.

[@cherylleewilson6625]

I agree with all those items but a few more would be a thick and large garbage bag (shelter, water collection, rain wear, stuff grass or pine needles for off the ground insulation), smaller plastic bag, a few coffee filters ( water filtration, wound bandage, toilet paper, fire tinder, towelette)

[@hangtough503]

Beautiful Kit brother. Subd. D😎🇺🇸🤙

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

Thank you!

[@clivedunning4317]

Great, common sense items in that kit. Your sound system is bringing back memories of large NATO exercises in Germany in the 1970s and 80s. The alarm for a gas attack was banging two bits of metal together, usually mess tins and/or a metal mug. I know I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night and shout out . . . "GAS , GAS, GAS" . . . and I won't be the only one !

[@simonh6371]

Ex BAOR spotted. Actually the old ressy pouches make a good little haversack. I bought a DPM one, back when I was in they were olive green. Guess you'd have had an S6.

[@judiehavard4903]

After watching videos on what happened with the Maui fires and how fast they had to evacuate. I am beginning to totally rethink my Go bag. Will be making it much lighter. As well as remembering when the Ukrainians had to flee their country and husbands and wives with children were separated. These are prime examples to learn from.

[@Useaname]

No one had to flee their country. They left voluntarily or to avoid service. Plenty stayed behind.

[@markcrume]

good stuff, a little pricey, but excellent quality.

[@pyrosmoak53]

You said welcome to the jungle, so I have to ask, do you have fun n games?? Lol Nice kit man. Great tip using the cup as a signaling device, I'm gonna have to remember that one.

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍 A good loadout. However, in my opinion, more Form than Function .. heavily nostalgic. Having that kit hanging / swinging / flopping / whatever around one's neck .. nope. A pack on the back and if required, water system on a decent hip belt would be far more practical and comfortable. I use my satchel mainly for quick summer trips to town and sometimes when walking the pooch in the forest carrying her drinking water, 'poo kit' and snacks. I do take a haversack with me at times going into the woods. It carries stuff that I would like to get to easily and is carried in the 'Beaver Tail' that sits on the rear of my Savotta Jääkäri S Mini Day Pack. I learned many years back that kit that is cinched nice and tight around / on one, carries much easier.

[@randybeeson3424]

You cinch up a haversack to fit snug under the arm. Use what you want but it's a tried and true method of carry since the mountain men days

[@BeautifulTripsandPlaces]

Well i like the haversack thing too because you can still carry a child on your back if needed. In case one brings kids hiking.

[@wernesgruder1]

Good kit. But I can see no benefit of having a haversack rather than a good backpack. Having walked @ good distance with a haversack they are hard work. Slip round your body, limited capacity. Difficult to run with.

[@warlord2pfa]

I agree. If your gonna carry a haversack with all that crap in it you would be better served with a small backpack. It's a hell of a lot more comfortable to wander around in the woods with.

[@warlord2pfa]

...and it's you're not your. 🤪

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍👍👍 Absolutely!

[@Clayman5577]

That’s right

[@monaangeloutdoors514]

Sometimes for a one day I prefer a haversack for a change from my backpack … the key I think is bring only whats comfortable to carry that way. 😊

[@jaymanning1405]

What is the sail needle for? Also what about food and first aid?

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

Sail needle can be used for gear repair, boot repair, first aid, and improvised compass. Food isn’t needed short term, and I can use many of my kit items for first aid. Thanks for watching!

This is a very good and very reasonable setup. The only thing you should definetly add is an israeli bandage.

He has one! Shamag and the roll of duck tape

[@lawrencefox563]

Good set up interesting how all troops back from Iraq and Afghanistan adopted shemog ,when in Rome those civilizations millenia in age ,they've learned a thing or two in that time.

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

There are endless uses for a Shemagh. Improvised arm sling, tourniquet, handkerchief, washcloth, cotton material for char cloth, and with this bright orange color, I can use it to signal for rescue, and as a waypoint marker, plus many more. Thanks for watching!

[@simonh6371]

Actually the shemagh has been popular as a piece of survival kit since the mid 80s here in the UK, from Lofty Wiseman's SAS Survival Handbook. The SAS started using them after being in Oman in the early 70s.

[@rrritaa]

Hello, I'm Rita from MNGARISTA. We want to work with you. How can I get in touch with you?

[@Christopher-e1y5e]

Would of been a better video if I could of heard it. Time to buy a mic. Reminded me of an old silent movie. But in color. Still got the point tho. It was just gear.

[@clevercamera3638]

I admire how you've resisted the urge to have your face dominate the video. It's much better that you focussed on your gear. Next time, could you please detail the individual weights of all your items? The shoulder strap seems insufficiently wide to allow your shoulder to bear the weight. Also, as you don't need most of the items within rapid reach, would you be better off with a backpack, accompanied by a smaller and lighter haversack, for those items you quickly need? Thanks again!

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

The shoulder strap worked great. It was a lightweight kit, that I wanted to be able to get it all in a haversack, and bottle bag. I was just sharing this setup as an option to be able to have the necessities, instead of carrying a larger backpack. Thanks for watching!

[@mux1978]

So basically just have a small day/backpack.

[@MrBhardwaj27]

Food.. Medicine...is missing i think it hardly weigh 500gms more

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

Just a day bag configuration if you will, just for if something goes wrong. Not planning on staying the night. Thanks for watching!

[@rodnyg7952]

it's an average kit, and any average kit can "save your life" depending on what you need to be saved from

[@richardschneider4775]

FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD ? Calories ? a Big Beeswax Candle ?Cubes of instant soup for the kettle ?

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

Not needed for a walk in the woods. This is just a “what if” bag if you will. Not planning on spending the night, but if something goes wrong, I can use this kit to protect myself from the elements. Thanks for watching!

[@simonh6371]

@@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors Exactly what I do, I take a small bag so that I can stop and take a break and make a coffee, rigging up my poncho if it's a bit windy or rainy. But I know that if for whatever reason I do have to stay out overnight, I'll be fine.

[@dai19721]

looks like its never been used...

ya need to rethink this title? isn't the entire idea of a 'survival kit' to save your life? if it can't is it a 'survival' kit at all? lol

[@simonh6371]

I like this type of survival kit, it's basically for a day out in the woods, I often take something like this and then set up a poncho and make a coffee. But if you get stuck out there overnight you can get by okay.

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

Yes that is exactly right! @simonh6371

[@canadafree2087]

Aweful advice. No one is going to hear your pot banging a mile away. A Fox 40 whistle cost $5 A Storm whistle $7. No one is going to mistake three whistle blows done at regular intervals as a bird.

[@kylewilkinson6975]

That was a pack content video not life saving survival.

[@Bart.Caudill.Outdoors]

This was my survival kit that I was carrying for that day. With the contents it had, and the proper knowledge of multiple ways to use each item, this kit could absolutely be a lifesaver. Thanks for watching!
