Wilderness Survival Kit: 10 Essentials You NEED

[@ljose007]

This was very helpful to me. My Sabbath School class asked me to pick out 10 things I would take with me to a deserted island and there they are.😄

[@NotoriouslyNature]

Sda👀👀👀

[@elliet9404]

Great video - really smart. I learned some good information from this. Thank you. (I used to carry a kit in my car. One thing I learned the hard way: batteries die in the cold. A flashlight with a crank rocks!)

[@kensen6490]

I actually considered getting a plastic water bottle, what it ultimately came down to was durability, a metal water bottle can take more beatings and you can repeatedly boil water in it if you had to. But we all have our own preferences and strategies, so he may be fine.

[@MadMinuteMan]

Not only can a plastic water bottle only be used a couple of times to boil water, but when heat is applied to a plastic bottle filled with water, the leaching process is sped up rather drastically. When you drink that water, you're taking in some nasty chemicals. It should be fine if done once or twice in an emergency situation, but repeated intake of water contaminated with chemicals from plastic will really fuck with your liver and your kidneys. Always go for metal containers when boiling water, if you lack a metal container or knife, you can craft a stone knife and use that stone knife to carve a bowl out of stone or wood, preferably stone and use that crude bowl to boil the water.

[@yt-sh]

metal water bottle to burn is a good idea, didn't think of that

[@yutubl]

A water proof bag or pack sack is a good choice for a survival kit. I gave my now adult children a water proof pack sack filled with survival kit (torch, 1st aid kit, emergency blanket, 4 m rope/line, fire kit, metal cup, foldable camping knife + fork, spoon, swizzers, plier multi tool etc.).

[@urielmartinez2161]

yep they sell some great ones with straps too

[@tarunbathula3933]

Looks like you are ready for everything with your survival kit

[@yutubl]

@@tarunbathula3933 Thanks, and hopefully my children also, they travel much more me. I prepare for bicycle tours and perhaps a long bikcycle travel through germany.

[@thinkinyblinko6666]

You want a high quality steel fixed blade knife. Pocket knife might as well be useless in a serious survival situation. Also a 300/1000 whetstone or a field sharpener is essential.

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

I like The Stone. And any time Haley or Stone's chirren can be brought into the video, that's a big plus.

[@UntamedScience]

The Stone?

[@AsherBehrns]

I've had a bug out bag for years now and I'm happy that it checked off everything on the list.

[@UntamedScience]

Good to hear. Thanks Asher.

[@AsherBehrns]

I've even been made fun of for having it

[@UntamedScience]

@@AsherBehrns - I get it. I too get made fun of for having a "kit" ... which is ludicrous. Some of those were friends in Texas that last week probably really wished they had a kit to make a fire with or filter drinking water with... ;)

[@AsherBehrns]

@@UntamedScience This is one of my favorite verses in the Bible. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. Proverbs 22:3 KJV bible.com/bible/1/pro.22.3.KJV

[@matt79de]

I certainly love the last tip: If you're stuck in a survival situation, a book is great for moral and a *survival book* is even helpful. Although i'm not carrying yours yet, i am carrying one in my emergency rucksack in the car. A hatchet and those "pocket chainsaws" are also nice, esp. for cars. As far as a medikit goes: Imo the most overlooked items in those are a nail file, a pair of scissors for nails, something for tick removal (the particular item depends on personal preference i guess), hand sanitizer and some wound desinfectectant. (I throw these into all my medikits.) Also, a nice pair of thick gloves is worth carrying. Other things i like to have around: The Titan Survival emergency sleeping bag and blankets, their SurvivorCord v1 (not the v2), the Bahco Laplander folding saw, the Morakniv Bushcraft Survival, some fatwood, a roll of toilet paper, a couple of packs of Kleenex, a snack and... wait for it: A bag of treats and a can of dog food for the dog plus folding bowls. You never know when you get stuck for the night when travelling with the dog: Traffic jam in winter/car breakdown with no cell service/... More of a car item imho: I also love to have a folding shovel on board. (Winter/mud/... you know...)

[@UntamedScience]

Great comment!

[@mueford]

i thought a blade was ridiculous to have until my small daughter got entangled in someone's discarded fishing line in about four feet of water . had she been alone it would have been a disaster

[@beagleyourbub]

Why would you think it’s ridiculous.

[@MadMinuteMan]

It wouldn't have been more than a disaster, it would have been a fatality.

[@donnywilkes6417]

I always have knives on me at all times.

[@dbbeck90]

@@beagleyourbubThis. Someone thinking having a knife is “ridiculous” baffles me.

[@wmluna381]

When I come across a man that does not carry a (pocket)knife, I question his abilities in life. It really is a tell.

[@michaelscott5917]

A pretty good kit for townies and people who aren't use to being in the woods

[@ghoulishgoober3122]

I'd suggest a larger, traditional Khukuri. Can serve as a bushcraft axe, knife, and defense all in one. Keep it by your side when you sleep with bear mace.

[@uditsaxena8195]

This is what i was looking for. Awesome job brother ❤️❤️

[@arnold7867]

I dont understand.....this you are underrated.....you deserve more than this for your quality of videos. by the way i love your videos sir..it helps me because i am a boy scout

[@akeelyaqub2538]

Its scary how fast you can go from living comfortably to suddenly needing everything in this video.

[@Night_Striker7]

For shelter I would suggest getting a hammock setting that up, then putting a tarp over it, and a wool blanket\sleeping bag to keep you warm

[@bairfreedom]

Hammocks are awesome. I started hammock camping a few years ago and will never go back. So much more comfortable and don't have to haul extra crap with me. -- SB

[@CrazyAboutFlyFishing]

Thanks, will put a basic kit together for my fishing trips.

[@outlaw615]

Don't forget to pack your helicopter!

[@jeffosborne440]

This is so good! I'll be making my kit with confidence. Thanks Rob!

[@nolanbugg]

For cordage I would bring tape because tape can be turned into hats bottles rope kayaks and has many uses and can be turned into a grip for a makeshift weapon so many birds with one stone

[@Aethelhadas]

Duct tape?

[@schwenji]

Top quality video Rob! Super informative and well-paced.

[@UntamedScience]

Thanks Ben.

[@novaknovakovic1585]

Just wonderful, I have been researching "survival skills for burns" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Lidacoob Protection Percipience - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my brother in law got amazing results with it.

[@yt-sh]

Thank you for making this useful video!

[@Randers69]

Small portable solar panel with rechargeable headlamp and flashlight instead of anything with disposable batteries or that can burn up like a candle. I bought one of those usb solar panels and it folds up to about 10 inch by 6 inch and is incredibly thin, you won't even notice it in a pack. You don't want to be out there and not be able to tell what's around you. That's one little piece of advice for a pack. Also, metal water bottle for boiling water after you run it through a light filter.

[@denofearthundertheeverlast5138]

You can survive longer than 3 weeks without food, I got sepsis in 2020, thought I had covid because the symptom's were just like I had the flu and covid had just started..coughing, shuddering chills, splitting head when I coughed, stinky sweats, cluster headaches, loss of appetite, I suffered at home for a month without eating because I thought I'd just ride the covid out for two weeks, but I never got better, I started to feel like I was getting better but it never progressed to full recovery, so then went to the hospital and thats when I found out I was very lucky to have survived a very nasty case of sepsis.

[@UntamedScience]

Very true. That's just a rule of thumb. IT's easy for kids to remember. If you're a tiny person with no body fat though, that's getting close to the limit.

[@wcookiv]

Some people pack fish hooks and line, but have you ever tried to fish with a stick? I pack a little two piece ice fishing rod and spinner, and a couple of generic soft-baits. Then again, I live in "the land of 10,000 lakes" so no matter how lost you get you're never very far from a hungry walleye.

[@ICanHazRecon911]

I completely agree with everything in this video, but would only say to emphasize your first aid more. A small cut can rot extremely fast without modern medicine, and a small sprain can be debilitating or even fatal if you can't move to do what you need to. Spot on otherwise though

[@JasonTrometre79]

I just reserve that bucket my local library. I’m doing a hike from San Francisco up to British Columbia in search a few mushroom mushrooms. In the United States this year because I’m mushrooms in Oregon

[@UntamedScience]

[@BrianClunie]

Great information, thank you for sharing I just subscribed!

[@BillCheshire_Jr]

I love it brother keep the good content coming

[@russellsage4953]

Comprehensive and sound. I usually skip something major like water purification, or a good light source. I wrestle with wanting a comprehensive minimalism-whatever that is. Some people are way happy to go full on apocalypse but I want to be a sneaky kind of basic ready. That feels more normal, and the stealth works for me. I get frustrated with security systems in museums etc. I makes me continuously reevaluate the bag basics, and consider other things like a hidden spot for my knife and saw. I get worried that the day you leave it will absolutely be the day you need it!

[@daganmccombs4961]

also you can buy a large pack of lighters for not even 5$ and that alone will last you a few years. quick and easy. And to go a step further you can wrap the handles of all of your lighters with duct tape! just a convenient and lightweight solution to some issues you might encounter.

[@mukkaar]

Really for light, just get headlamp and backup small single battery led light, preferably both should accept AAA batteries so you can have couple spares if battery runs out. Don't bother with candles, lightsticks or torches. I get some people geek out with beeswax candles and whatnot, but come on, candle gives really puny light that's hard to use for anything useful, and there are much better firestarter methods that perform better, weight less and take less space. Headlamp is *the* most useful portable light source you can have for pretty much all activities. And just because it's technology, doesn't mean it's unreliable, brands like Petzl and Black diamond are extremely reliable. And it's very simple device anyways. For backup light, something like Fenix LD02 is pretty ideal. It's small, durable, uses batteries so you can have backup and it has clip so you can attack it to your cap for example.

[@elliot6252]

Would binoculars be useful in a survival kit? Also a lifestraw only filters a certain amount of liters, is there any way to tell when you have used all of them?

[@chancecarlton8403]

It will be clogged. You can take them apart, clean them out and use them longer.

[@kensen6490]

I can’t say if you’ll actually need binoculars, it depends on your plans and if they’d be practical for your situation. As for the lifestraw, I think that should be used as a last resort if you can’t make water drinkable by boiling it. But even then, water filters ain’t hard to make, anyone can make activated charcoal.

[@matt79de]

Re. Binocs: Imo not much. A compass may add more value. The only actual survival use of binocs i can think of is cannibalizing them for their lenses to get some fire going. That can be had cheaper. Other than that they probably just add more weight than value.

[@stacywilliams1710]

Good Job Sir

[@miken7629]

Add a tourniquet. A person can bleed out in 2 minutes and a tourniquet that can applied by yourself is essential. Car wrecks, road rage, meth heads wandering onto trail like zombies are possibilities.

[@matt79de]

Huge point you're making: Most folks prep for the wrong thing: A car wreck is a much more likely encounter than being stuck in the woods in the middle of nowhere. Luckily, torniquets can be improvised, but having a useful trauma kit included in the medikit certainly helps. Completely underrated.
