I know that this is an old video, but I just found your channel. Great video, and thank you. I have one idea and a couple of suggestions. One, bring gun oil. You can put a sinker on the e d of some twine and tie a bit of cloth to the other and use it as a bore snake, the gun oil can help start a fire too. On stitching yourself, use monofilament line not thread. Thread can absorb blood and microbes, making it prefect medium to transfer pathogens to your bloodstream and you want to avoid both local infection and sepsis. The AAA ointment can treat local infection but that is still undesirable and it will not treat sepsis.
Thanks Mossydog, I like to gun oil and cleaning idea, simple, cheap and compact. I agree with the monofilament, someone else had suggested the same a while back and I have changed out mine.
One of my favorite hobbies is making budget survival kits . Recently I started adding in a few foil packed alcohol swabs . If you already have a first aid kit they are there, but if not, beside wound cleaning they are great for fire starting and making wicks. Also add in dental floss because its multi use as well. I love the idea of it being in the rifle because theres great odds thats the one thing you will grab if seconds count .
You bet, both great ideas and low cost so nice and easy to add to the kit
I feel like a budget survival kit is the most practical. Usually those budget items you go with are things that are multipurpose, and simple. Both attributes are very important in a survival situation.
I agree, too expensive and I don't believe most people will build one.
I’d say you hit all the important parts on this build. Great job. Have you shaken her out yet? See how it works in a pinch? 😊
I've taken it out a bunch of times to go shooting for the afternoon, but no weekend or overnight survival. Might have to put it to the test
One trick I learned from The Backwoodsman Magazine was to wrap portions of the stock with cordage.
Ya good plan, I have made a few slings from para but always a bit of a pain to undo and use. I like the wrapped stock idea much better
That is one bad ass little survival shotgun. Well done !!!!
Thanks!!!
That's a good budget survival gun set up. So many ways one can do this, the possibilities are endless. One thing you could do if you didn't wanna use the paracord sling, wrap the stock in paracord or even bankline and then put that stock shell holder over it. Replace the mylar blanket with a 55 gallon drum liner if you wanted. The jute twine could be swapped out with dryer lint and to make that burn longer, rub Vaseline into it, burns the same as cotton balls and Vaseline. Another option, you can get a small MOLLE pouch and attach it to the buttock by using velro straps or Velcro cable ties. With a sling on there, you can mount one of those 10 round shell pouches to it for more ammunition to be kept on the gun. The possibilities are endless lol.
You bet, those are some great ideas, I am constantly changing and tweaking what I put together for things like this. Just started making sure that bank line is included with everything, so practical and a little more disposable then paracord
Though about 3X the cost, Survivor Cord has 25# fishing line, jute fire starter twine and snare wire along with the usual paracord strands. This would save space in your pouch. You would still need hooks/lures and sinkers. Tensile strength is about 620#. You could also use tarred bank line which is smaller and lighter but still has 300#+ tensile strength if you're looking to minimize weight.
I love the sealed straw for matches, tinder, med cream, etc. idea. Maybe do one with potassium permanganate and one with sugar. Those can be used for fire starting, water purification, wound wash and as an energy boost.
I wonder if .22 WMR would be more effective vs. .22 LR. Larger caliber adapters would by nature limit ammo carry to fewer rounds even if they would be more effective on larger game. For shells I would want at least one slug, one 00 or 000 Buck shot, and three other shot shells of your choice. You could also load one shell into the removed barrel and duct tape it in place for a sixth shell.
You may want to consider a waterproof bag to put your kit in before it goes into your pouch, just to keep it all dry if it gets dropped into the water accidentally. Also, maybe put the Aquatabs into the Ziplock bags in the buttstock to keep them dry until needed.
pretty cool!
Cool kit! Thanks for sharing.
I carry 2 tubes of super glue gel, extremely light weight and versatile as duct tape
Ya, good idea and quite small. I know you can use it to close up cuts as well although I have never personally tried that
Great stuff! To spool up some of that fishing line, you can use one of those rectangular single-edge razor blades that come packaged in inexpensive paint scrapers: these razor blades have notches on either side that the line will spool onto nicely, and you'll have a small cutting edge built into your fishing/sewing kit to trim line with etc. I package my fishing/sewing kit together and just share fishing line between them, and store in a small zip-seal bag with other small items (zip-ties, twist-ties, safety pins, and the like.) A short strip of black vinyl electrical tape can be folded over the edge of the razor blade for safety - it peels off nicely and can be reused.
I've been tossing a couple paper coffee filters in with the plastic zip-seal bags and water purifier tablets to use as pre-filters: they don't take up a lot of room or weight, and can (hopefully) help clear some of the larger gunk out of the water before purification. I also figure I can burn any unused filters in an emergency to help start a fire....
If you don't mind bumping the cost of the build a little, way back in ye olde frontier days it was pretty common to build a little "patchbox" or "capbox" into the side of the stock of your long-rifle, pretty much where you put your compass: there would be a hollow space in the stock carved out from the side, with a brass door over the hollow to store patches, percussion caps or flints, and so on for the rifle. Your shotgun shouldn't need flints, patches, and so on, but I would bet that this style of buttstock patchbox on a survival shotgun would be a bit easier to work with for storage of some of your survival items, than risking the loss of the little buttplate screws by fighting with taking the buttstock off and putting it back on (seems like the 22lr adapter and maybe some of the 22 ammo would fit well, though perhaps some might prefer a small cleaning kit here. Meanwhile, the button compass might fit in the "pistol-grip" bit of the buttstock?) The less expensive brass patchbox covers seem to average about $US 20 or so, but this hardware seems pretty simple in principle, and I bet someone with a few simple materials and tools and a little work could make one much cheaper than that! Here's an example:

Anyway, nice video, I always enjoy seeing these sorts of DIY survival-on-a-budget kits!
Thanks! great idea with the razor blade, cheap and multi purpose. I like your idea of a patch box, I will have to check it our.
Nice setup. Never knew about the twine rope for starting fires! Put the items that can get wet in the Ziploc bags. Also throw cotton balls in that tic tac container so you don't sound like a maraca (there is a Seinfeld episode about this). Lol
Hahahaha good plan
Dude this is a sweet setup dude good job it's kinda like my h&r that I made into a survival weapon got the choate survival stock set for it
Pretty cool ideas there .Thanks for sharing
U bet!
Well done! Thanks I learned a lot!
Glad it was helpful!
How does this video only have 754 views as of 1/2/2022?
You have some nice, practical ideas, far more realistic than some "survival" videos where you have to spend $hundreds just on that top-of-the-line backpack and knife, because... sponsors!
Thanks, making these videos for guys like you and I
Alt tech sites are the way to go for firearms. RUclips has clamped down.
For the jute twine, one thing that will make it even better is get a cheap chapstick or lip balm and rub it into the twine. Now the twine is waterproofed and covered in an accelerant.
solid kit! i did one with a ruger 10/22
Nice! Definitely a handy set up, 10/22 is a great platform too
I had a old 6 prson anvas tent that had a 10 x 8 burn hole in it that I was saving for a project or two so I took my 10GA. H&R single shot with a 28ln h barrel and had it cut down to 23inch and fitted for rem. Screw in extended chokes I then broke it down and took some of the tent a made a case to hld the broken down shotgun and madeit so it heldit nicely and didn't let it bang around then to the outside I made pockets for the chamber inserts and made a sling that fits both the bag and the shot gun thT has ammo loop's on it anda nother pack that holds ammo and a small cookset forst aid knife a small hatchet canteen MRE's cordage fire starter's like a magnesium starter a fàro rod and 3 lighters a small sharpening stone small crank up soler lantern/radio and a pare of military grade ponchos and a wool blanket
That sounds like great project!
awesome video! keep them coming, liked and subbed.
Thanks!
Personally If I had a .22lr adapter I'd opt to carry slugs or buck to hunt deer if needs be. Likely slugs, cause they can definitely take deer and also be used for personal protection against bear depending on where you're at.
Yep, you definitely need to tailor the loadout to your area. I'm in the prairies (plains) area so birds, rabbits and smaller game are most readily available. There are some antelope and mule deer but I'm not sure if a slug would have the range. I've read 100 yards if the effective range but no personal experience except on paper with slugs.
@@mattsgaragediy I don't hunt deer with slugs but have made consistent shots at 50 and 75 yards with an 18.5" barrel, but I find with that short a barrel they start to drop too much. I'm not so open as the praries and there's usually plenty of times I can get within 50 yards of a deer or a bear.
I would include some kind of cleaning kit
Good idea, I did wonder about including a small container with gun oil. Some basic cleaning and maintenance supplies would definitely make sense.
Good stuff
Thanks!
Just built mine. Used an ATN 12gauge. Has a hollow stock for survival kit. Strapped on cheek pad with pouch and 5 shotgun shells, same as yours. Added two six round sticky back bandoliers to the forearm, and a 550 cord sling. I included all the same items you listed inside my stock, and put a multitool in the cheek pad pouch. I also removed the sponge pad by cutting a long slit along the inside top of the pad and placed two emergency blankets there instead. Good thinking on this kit.
Very nice, sounds like some good extras and upgrades!
I used the same model 12 gauge as you to convert to a survival gun. The hollow stock on mine holds a mini-bic lighter, a rope style cleaning kit, a compact first aid kit with a couple of needles and a length of fishing line, a cheap multi tool, a short .22 adapter like he used, a pack of water purification tabs, single edge razor blade, a few cotton patches/swabs for barrel, 1 emergency Mylar blanket, 2 extra 12 gauge 00 buck rounds, and about 10 feet of waxed bank line. Only put one screw back in the butt plate, took off the forearm and there was space for around 20 .22LR rounds in it. I have a sleeve holder with 2 #4 shot and 3 #6 shot rounds. Also put a low light orange dot sight on the front in line with the existing brass bead sight. Where I bought the gun was a pawn shop and they had a bin of butt pads and slings all used, so I found a nice leather padded sling and a good butt pad for a total of $10!
I use a fanny pack. It holds 70 rounds. And its also easy and fast to load in an emergency
Great idea, can also switch up ammo type and take with different shotguns or rifles
Im buying a stevens shotgun break barrel 12 gauge , don't know the model , for 225$ . Tomorrow ill be buying it. I want a break barrel shotgun for gophers and with lowbrass shells. I dont need the magnum highbrass shells. Break barrels are so fun to shoot and lug around because they are not heavy. I have a bullet pouch like yours and also a camo buttstock recoil pad. I seen some attachments from china were it goes over your barrel and has 3 rails for a scope , flashlight, reddot sight. Id only mount a laser and flashlight for night time. Thats a nice sling , ill make one too. Thats a sweet shotgun you have there.
Enjoy the new shotgun, good times building a loadout that works for you. I didn't look at rails for this one but it was all about keeping the cost low. They do give you some nice add on options though, have fun!
Excellent vid add a few extra dollars and get a double barrel and you will have a much more versatile tool. Subscribed.
Ya many good shotguns out there that could change this up. Im looking at picking up a 22 / 410 over under to see what that will do for this set up
Good video. And I put a lot of thought into this and I agree 100 % I have a marlin single shot shotgun I think best ammo for them in a wilderness survival situation would be carry as much as possible but the main would be bird shot and slugs 💯 %
I agree, haven't had a lot of experience shooting slugs, have you used 20ga slugs. I've been reading that they are a reasonable alternative to 12ga and still get the job done
@@mattsgaragediy I had a 20 ga yrs ago but I'm already stocked up on 12. I hate to have start all over again hahaha
@@ernest9606 Very true
How about a barrel mounted flashlight ?
Yep good idea, I didn't really consider it as my shotgun didn't have a rail setup but it would be a great addition
For a survival kit to start with a double barrel 12 3.5ga. a pare of military rubberizd ponchs 100 or 200 feet of Paracord a impact fishing kit a long barrel .22lr simi auto or revolver I have a SAA colt repo. With a 12 inch barrel with target sites aRuger MKII 6 inch target a heavy cal. hand gun like a .44 mag. or a S&W 500 first aid kit a compact cook set more than one way to start a fire I have a torch cigarette lighter a magnesium fire starter a magnifying lens a compact wood burning stove I got a little steamer basket that you put in the bottom of a pot to steam veggies it works great a heavy wool blanket big enough to rap it around yourself a sharp knife with t heavy blade a small axe or hachit a folding saw insurts for the shotgun firearms cleaning my kit ammo some tools like a multi tool some dehydrated food and wire to make snaires and a pack big enough to hold everything and keep your hands free the guns holsers and sling for shotgun
Sounds like quite a set up. I was working towards something on the shotty itself, but sure sounds like you got all the bases covered
Good job. Need a more precise sight for the .22 adapter. Ideas?
Try mini shells for bird shot. Enlarge the stock screw hole to accept a few of them too.
@@richardjusticejustusoutdoo8323 Yep good idea, I will try it out.
I made a peep sight which helped quite a bit. This wouldn't be for all applications but fit the purpose of this build. I have attached a link (old video, not my finest work :) )

Right now it will take the whole $100 for the gun. If not more. Inflation is eating the world.
What was the price of the gun
I picked this one up for $100 CND at a swap meet. Entire gun had been spray painted green - stock, barrel, trigger - everything. From some reading I've done you should be able to find one or the Winchester version for $50 to $150 US
Just tax ($16) + DROS fee ($37) + fsc fee ($25) came out to more than your total for budget shotgun for cheapest shotgun (nevermind the actual shotgun cost) I can buy in CA (some no name pump shotgun on sale at big5). Good thing I am not a gun collector.
Wow that s rough, I thought we had it bad in Canada. Not sure if you have all the fees if you buy at a swap meet or privately but might be the way to go.
I have a 9mm and 22 wmr adapters for my midland arms backpacker I did spend a bit more 91 for the gun survival kit was 39.99 and water purification was 11.99 also bought a cheap servival knife with matchsticks fishing stuff and son on in the handle for 8.99 great video by the way
hello im from Philippines im interested to buy but how
Not sure what the laws are like in the Philippines. Start by looking for used Cooey 84 or Winchester 840 - basically identical guns. Winchester bought out Cooey and rebranded as the 840. In my opinion that is an excellent starting platform to build a survival shot gun
shotgun ammo , i like no 6 shot . plus carry 5 slugs for big game .
22 adapter is ok
fishing kit ok . could use 1-3 protein bars etc .
fire kit ... very weak . twine no hang time cotton round makeup pads soak in a 50/50 mix of lighter fluid and wax 1 pad burns about 4 minutes store mine in a old chew can .
water kit very weak . get a life straw or swayer mini . get a small cup .
button compass pure junk . get a better one .
get a folding knife
wont not risk my like on a kit like your for 1/2 of a day
Great ideas Jeff, thanks for sharing
non-waxed dental floss, for fishing line. 🇵🇱🧸⛺️🏳️🌈👩🍳🇺🇸
good idea!
I notice how u didn't include the price of the shotgun
Dirt cheap $50.00 CDN ($37 US) at a swap meet. Looked online right now and another one for $100 CDN ($75 US) Spend as much or little as you want.
