A little tip I learned long ago. If you're going to keep a baseball bat in your vehicle for protection you should have a couple baseball mitts and a baseball. Just to protect yourself legally.
Pro tip, a good use for dryer lint and old candles is to take the lint, put it in a non styrofoam egg carton and fill it with melted candle wax, the egg spaces apart and you can use that as the base tinder for fires.
I really like gear showcase/review and I find them to be really instructive. Most people don't know how to tell quality survival gear from cheap brands that are just there to cash in. These kinds of videos help educate preppers in the making, saving them from bad purchases. On a personal note, I also like those budged kit assembly challenges you make from time to time and would love to see that expanded to help preppers on a budget. It would be really cool if you could showcase a range of bugout bags (using gear you already have) to show people how to properly assemble a kit from 100 dollars to doomsday prepper levels of money.
Great info as always. A short bat would be useless I’d imagine. Pepper spray would be smaller, weigh less, and much more useful. Carrying concealed is the obvious solution to most problems, add a nice light and you’re even better off. Love that you’re thinking defensive though not everyone does
I have had 3 hydro blu Clear Flows, Ive used them for just an EDC water bottle and they work great! Ive also used them from time to time in the bush and they work fine there to... EXCEPT the second one I bought had a bad leaking problems so, I bought another one.. and it doesn't leak Leaving it up to you if you want to take the gamble
I love these types of videos from you guys. They're probably my top 3 favorite type of videos from the channel. I usually always hit a few of the links and pick up some of the stuff I dont have.
the Energizer headlamps are by far the best budget headlamps i've used. extremely cheap for the features it has and how well made they are (they all seem to be on clearance at walmarts right now)
That family pack of grills i would use twist ties instead of split ring, but you might have to replace then. And Obviously the paper would burn off the tie
Yay, just bought the 30L backpack of that type (for long wild hikes, I use the 80L, but it's too big for short hikes, as I'm only 5ft2.), and glad you like the performance.
I really liked the information you gave on this vid. Even down to the base ball bat. I carry concealed, and a base ball bat would be a good second personal protection. I had not thought of that one. Keep up the good work
Yeah your videos are insightful and they do help that helps people that don't have a lot of money so don't ever think you ain't doing good with these because you are excellent with your videos thank you for your help we appreciate you
Well sadly missed the live due to being stuck at work until 7pm. Pretty sweet gear list for under 30$ i can attest to the durability of the speed sinch stakes, i have hard clay soilinmy yard and they go in with relative ease with little to no external damage to the stakes. Another great video Bud.
These are great videos because of all the great quality products for great prices. I’ve also used a few of these and can definitely verify the quality and reliability of them, especially the Procamptek and of course the 4DB gear!! Thank you DFS for these excellent recommendations!!
I love these type of vids shows us a lot of goodies we can get for a reasonable price and it helps repeat somethings u have for your prepps can’t go wrong with that lol
One more thing Bro! always take or Wear a Hi-Vis! in case of hunters around using Fire-Arms (Rife) and it depends where your camping, they might mistaken you, for an animal Keep yourself safe first, before sorting out or your bells and whistle.
Wish I was able to drive stakes in the ground where I’m at in Texas......hell anything for that matter. It’s solid rock everywhere I live, we have about 5 inches of dirt before you hit solid rock.
Depends what i was trying to do with steaks yes its possible to steak or ancor into solid rock granted in your area id be tempted by 3/8 x12 land scapeing spikes and a 4lbs shop hammer. Worst case id have to dig and use a star drill first
You should've shown those small LED usb sticks. They're about the size of a long usb and they're as bright as the brightest lanterns and they're perfect for turning a powerbank into a floodlight. And they're basically a dime a dozen..
So before I got a phone with google pay and a smart lock on my door I had a chums wallet it was the marsupial wallet. I basically vecroed it to the back of my phone and kept my cards and 2 or 3 keys on it. So I had my phone wallet and keys in one place.
As bears are attracted to bright colours, is bright orange a good idea? And spraying a pissed grizzley with spray might just put him off for 10 seconds.
Great video! Where do I find that water filter bottle? I don't recognize the brand. I want that little Leatherman too,! Actually there are many things you showed I would like! Good job!
those two knives you compare have considerably different blades, the handles are exactly the same aside for the color but they are far from the 'same' knife
I recommend against buying and carrying the "Brooklyn Shorty" by Cold Steal. Cold Steel is a weapons company, mostly knives but all their products are weapons including the "Brooklyn Shortiy". If you get in to an altercation and hit someone with this - law enforcement and the guy you hit can say - this was a 100% weapon to hurt people there is no other purpose. In contrast if you have a $14 Target T-Ball Bat and a well used ball and glove it does the same thing, same weight, excellent one handed club, but it has a legitimate purpose - playing t ball, games of ball catching and hitting with little children. I recommend all self defense weapons except real fire arm guns have some non violent, self defense purpose - like a hammer, bear spray, tactical pens and flashlites etc. I'm liking this video.
I absolutely LOVE these vids best. The only thing that I would have to add no question is the u c o flat pack grill (mini) ; it is the best way to cook in the field I ever found, makes a great little fire pit as well $29. Can't beat that price for such quality. Love n peace to you n your Family.
@@DropForgedSurvival I watch ALMOST all your vids but back surgeries (line of duty injury, ugh) make me fall behind a bit. Ok so it will be listed as my fav budget gear, lol. Thank you for all your really helpful heads ups on gear I need but must get for a reasonable price. Disability dosen't leave you w ANY extra money but does give tons of extra PAIN.
@@DropForgedSurvival I agree. I would have not spent that myself but it was a very thoughtful Christmas gift. My kids are not always sure what to get me but they assume that if it's survival stuff, I will be happy. He also gave me an axe, lol. Sometimes I wonder the conversations with his friends. Friend: So what did you get your mom for Christmas? A sweater? Perfume?" My son: "An axe and water filter for her BOB" Friend: ??????? My son: "She said it was her favorite gift. 🤷♂️"
you should check the price of mora. one of the favorite things i hear from people is "this is (fill in the blank) answer to to the glock" please think that through!
I paid over $400 for my 45L Condor assault pack, but it's a beast and I know it will last well for an INCH bag. Probably will need to go bigger though, or get some molle pouches for it.
you should check out the leathermen style ps, it's an awesome little multi tool plus it's incredibly lightweight which is why I take it backpacking. plus it's pretty dang cheap. note it doesn't come with a knife but I carry an additional knife anyway so it's no issue for me.
2:05 you had me smiling and everything because I’m talking to myself about how my hammock has that stuff then my face changed...really..fast when you said “mora...k..k..kil...killer” 😭
Sadly these take time for new and innovative tech and camping gear to come to market. We definitely host them as soon as we have some serious gems to create a sequel! This is episode 7 in the series.
The link for the other videos you said was right there (Upper right corner) wasn't there. At 17:53 the link still wasn't there. And this is precisely the kind of gear I like to see inexpensive and easy to replace if lost, stolen or it breaks. What good is a super expensive piece of gear if you become so dependent on it you can't do without it (kind of makes it like the powergrid). I would never pay $3000. For a pistol no mater how great (even if billionaire rich) (unless it was a actual phaser or force lance oops my geek just showed lol)
I am sorry brother I feel like I let ya down I missed the drop of it got to it a couple hours latter wish I would have been there for the premiere I am sorry brother but I loved the video it was great lots of good gear and suggestions keep it up man we love these videos
oscarpont If it makes this LIST! Their is GREAT REASON! But we have already used it in a previous multi-day survival adventure. BEST FIELD TESTS on youtube
Chris I think you should test somy budget friendly gear from wish.com. I am a 4x sized guy and I bought one of their survival bivies for under five bucks and it was big enough to be roomy for me.
Green 20 Of course.. My current cameras cant handle anything above 97 degrees for too long. We are saving up for a new one that can handle operating at 115F without overheating
Decent cheap gear personally I like to spend a little more mostly for quality reasons but there’s definitely some great cheap gear out there great video maybe I’ll see something but my hiking/camping/bugout bags are so full already it has to really catch my attention.i have the fin hawk easy to sharpen holds a decent edge sharp spine great handle and u don’t have to worry about scratching up an exspensive grail knife. I’ve never seen a square firesteel and I own 20 of them one is an inch thick no joke with a fat handles and 6 inches long great camping rod but a little big and heavy for hiking. You should get those carbon fiber playing cards there under $30 when I bought mine and won’t get wrecked from water etc and helps with down time especially if your gonna so some gambling. As for fire starter I love the Area 51 impregnated fire wood or there fat rope. I also have the largest grill top that will fit in my bag. I also like kento make my own tent stakes saves a life weight and gives u a reason to use that knife. My favorite field sharpener is the lightweight DC3 from Falkniven medium ceramic on one side and diamond on the other and weighs almost nothing and works great unless u can’t sharpen on a stone in that case I’d try and find the best pull through sharpener but I’ve tried a few of the pull through sharpeners and wasn’t impressed.i use the 26800 mah anker battery and matched it with an anker solar panel so I always have power for phones flashlights radios etc.
Definitely don't miss our "Most recommended Survival Gear under $30 series" which this video is connected to. We have a TON of gear in all those episodes! Enjoy the binge watching.

I think that these bulk videos are fantastic. I have several of them saved. Keep them coming please
don't ask me Thanks brother
I’ve made a camping playlist because of this. This video is the first one added!
the Energizer headlamps are by far the best budget headlamps i've used. extremely cheap for the features it has and how well made they are (they all seem to be on clearance at walmarts right now)
I have honestly never used them
I’ve had one on my hard hat at work for over a year now. It’s been through some shit and still goin strong.
That family pack of grills i would use twist ties instead of split ring, but you might have to replace then. And Obviously the paper would burn off the tie
Yay, just bought the 30L backpack of that type (for long wild hikes, I use the 80L, but it's too big for short hikes, as I'm only 5ft2.), and glad you like the performance.
Glad you found this episode helpful.
Leatherman bit kit, wide assortment of uses and extends the range of a leatherman tool outside the box
Such a great informative video. Not to mention saving big on important items. Love it!

You should've shown those small LED usb sticks. They're about the size of a long usb and they're as bright as the brightest lanterns and they're perfect for turning a powerbank into a floodlight. And they're basically a dime a dozen..
You should mention Pristine water treatment kit. The reaction produces Chlorine dioxide and is easy to pack and depenable
