I was shocked that you would call it a survival kit without first aid equipment, fishing equipment, and some form of mirror. But they probably spent most of their budget on the multi-tool and the fire starter which looked real nice actually.
shelter? water? Kits can scale up and down, and generic depends on your terrain. Fishing gear won't help in the desert, but a mylar blanket could do wonders.
I find fishing equipment to be an odd choice to cram into these kits. They're supposed to be the barebones minimal stuff, but food is the lowest priority when it comes to survival. You can go 3 weeks without food, and whatever food you could catch with the stuff in these kits probably would be best at boosting your morale than giving you significant calories. The way I see it, Rescue, Repair, Water, and Fire are the top things to put in these kits. If something breaks, you want to be able to repair to help you get out. Rescue so you can get out. Water because you can't go very long without it. And Fire just because it's useful for so many things, including the other 3 things I listed. Shelter is nice, but I think that should mostly be covered by a decent mylar blanket for areas that get cold at night. First aid, I think is a bit unnecessary, because whatever you can fit into these kits probably can't treat any serious injuries. And any minor injuries that you could treat are probably ones you can power through for the most part. Like, you aren't squeezing a tourniquet or compression bandage into these kits, so you aren't stopping any major bleeding. Nor a splint, so nothing you can do about broken or sprained limbs.
@@ShadeSlayer1911 what about infection? i was under the impression that the tiny first aid kits were mostly to prevent minor cuts and such from turning into a more serious problem.
@@ianfights6008 I just don't know how much of a priority that is compared getting rescued, hiking back to civilization, not dehydrating so much that you can't travel, and not being too exposed if you need to camp for a night or two. I guess I'm just thinking that a survival kit is specifically for short term. If you get into a rough situation, it's for helping get out of it, not stay in that situation for any extended period of time. Infections to me sounds more like a longer term worry. I guess in that sense, I'm thinking rescue and navigation are the top most priorities for a survival kit. Signal mirror and whistle covers rescue pretty readily for a tiny kit. A decent compass, light, and a map of your area would cover navigation. I'd consider a flare as well for rescue, but you're not fitting that into an altoids tin sized kit. The best survival kit is supposed to get you out of a situation before it gets so dire that you need to worry about infections. At least I think so. I'm no expert, so this is all just my laymen's thoughts. A bushcraft or exploration kit might be one that covers more medical, shelter, hunting, etc. Regardless, I think you should always tailor your kit to your adventure. Overall, I think a competent pocket repair kit is going to be the most useful for almost any sort of adventure. Sewing supplies and other basic repair tools. If you wear glasses, include an eyeglass repair tool and extra parts. That, plus knowledge, plus whatever gear that you bring for your adventure should cover a lot of bases anyway. Like, don't hike deep into the woods without a good knife and other basic supplies. Always have a decent medical kit regardless, so you don't have to rely on the tiny bits that you can shove into a tin. The tin, I figure, is for if you get separated from the rest of your gear somehow, and need a couple of handy supplies to help you get back to your gear, or just get out of your situation entirely.
A survival kit sold for less than ten bucks. If you really have that big of a problem with it, then stick a different one in it. It's cheap enough that you can still afford to buy more than what came in the kit.

Cody, you can actually turn those wire saws into a effective saw, and use way less energy, if you take a springy branch and turn it into a bow saw. The saw will get caught a whole lot less when cutting bigger pieces of wood, and it can be quite effective.
TXfishTV won't be the same. he would have to spend $9 by paying retail prices. What he might pay $2 for, might cost the manufacturer of the kits only 3 cents because they buy hundreds if not thousands at a time. If he was able to buy in bulk he probably would be able to make a better kit than these people.
raphael beinhauer Exactly! Every can opener I've owned has been a piece of garbage! Plus, I'd bet money I can open a can with my Leatherman just as quick as any other can opener.
Dylan Ashment I also find the can opener on my leatherman much better than swiss army style can openers. I much prefer the pull openers. BTW I use the wave.
what I still find very funny is that the can opener was invented many years after the tin can was invented :-) Good thing the axe was invented already!
Well i think since the compass is filled with oil inside it can be a little slow sinc oil can become thicker from cold or when its not moving so in a little bit of warm it will work as it should . Again my opinion .
A butterfly wrench is to open very tight butterfly nuts! (Also called wingnuts) The "wings" of the nut, where your fingers usually grab to turn, fit in that slot and you can get some strength behind it.
Okay so if a homeless man didn’t have food for a few days and someone gave him a meal with just a spit on the side is he not going to eat it? If you’re at a restaurant you ask for a new one or buy another. Lmao you trying to be smart failed hard.
A homeless man was never part of the equation, i was personally talking about you. And it was less about the food and more about the thought behind it. This video was to see if you get your money’s worth from purchasing this kit, because idk if you realize this but kits need to be bought in advance, so if you would be desperate for a kit when you are in a shitty situation with nothing, you might as well dream about a kit that isn’t trash. Also I wasn’t trying to be smart... i used that to illustrate my point... but from what i can judge about your character from your comments, you aren’t the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I have one of those whistles you're supposed to roll up money and stick it in there. It's kinda hard to do but once you get the hang of it it's a really nice thing to have
its a start. The case looks pretty sturdy and there are some useful things in there. Replace the multi tool and card thing with useful items and there is probably room for more stuff to customize with. $9 for a sturdy bright red case to stuff in your glove compartment or by the spare tire isn't a bad deal in my book.
FromThe Prairies Exactly - the red case is where most of the value is for me. I replaced the junk multitool with a better one, and added some paracord, a full size contractor trash bag, some folded duct tape, tinder, and a few first aid essentials and it still closed easily. I put the whole thing in a quart freezer zip bag for water and dust proofing and put in each vehicle.
Love that you're using the tools to demonstrate. People mostly just display them, name them, and then lay them aside . FYI: You can still open a can without a can opener because the lid is only held to the can by adhesive. Flip the can and rub vigorously on a smooth rock until friction melts the adhesive and the can leaks a bit, then carefully slide lid and can off the rock and flip them upright together. You'll lose some liquid, but the contents will still mostly stay in side. I suppose you could also melt the seal with coals on the lid, then just flip the top off, but depending on the size of the can and amount of liquid, there's risk of the can exploding from steam, so there's that I guess. :)
What I totally miss is anything to cook water in or purify it, plus some type of cordage to make a shelter. The saw, the fire steel and the compass are cool!
The containter it comes in is probobly the most valuable thing there, with the fire starter coming in at a close second. Just throw a leatherman in there, a snickers bar, emergency blanket and call it a good.
The top of a tin can is rolled over, so you can actually use a rock or abrasive to grind/sand down the lip, and the lid pops off, if you are truly in a situation with no other way to open a can
The container in the whistle is not for keeping goodies. It is for filling it with fragrances and the keychain side also opens into a ball point. So it is 2 in 1. Works as a perfume and whistle
"metric or standart" When will americans finally realize that Metric is the standart and just far more logical and easier to use than the imerial system?
Well imperial is easy for personal at home guess work, where accurate measurement isn't needed. While you need to say 667 centimeters or 2/3 a meter, in imperial you can say two and a half feet. They both have their uses, if you say 'about this big' with yours hands, on average you match up with a 'foot' about 80% of the time, our minds don't like long complicated numbers for quick math. Now if Metric invented a foot alternative, you could sign me up, but until then, Imperial works for what it is.
@@henryettoit897 The question is though, how easy is it to visualize fractions, most people nod their head and just go along with it, not really grasping the actual distance in their head, Imperial on the other hand allows you to still do base 10 measurements but in easier to digest chunks visually for our minds.
I should have explained better, 10 as in feet, IE one floor, or 3 meters. Its easy to visualize floors and therefor how large things are if you say 40 feet or 45 etc.
He's an American making content in English, so for the majority of his viewers, the imperial system is the standard for day-to-day life. In fact, in his channel description, he even mentions "The American Dream", so it's probably American-centric content
Butterfly screw - is the nut with wings that you can tightened with bare hands, they fit in the straight cut on the card. The Square cut with a little insert is also a bottle opener
@@austinjordan8840 Yeah, but being able to see is rather important in a survival situation. If the wrong screws become loose on my glasses, an inability to tighten them will ultimately result in losing the lenses. Without them, I can't read jackshit! So much for the nice map I brought along!!
Butterflies are the little twist on things with the 2 petals, hanging outward on opposite sides. I've seen them under tables and furniture, but that's all I can think of
I bet wing nuts could be considered butterfly screws in other countries. So the butterfly wrench is for them. Even though you can tighten them with your fingers.
Anytime it's winter you should probably have some sort of survival kit in your car whether it's water space blankets etc in the winter that stuff is priceless if you spin out in the winter
Not bad! Takes up almost no space or weight too. It's the ideal kit when you don't want to carry but is already there in your luggage or back pack or fanny pack, or in your jacket pocket. Granded we never expected the worst until it strucks us at the moment of most unexpected situation. It should include a 2X3 inches shatter proof mini mirror and a plastic magnify glass , 2 fishing hooks, l roll of 20 ft of 6-8 lb capacity fine fish line. Plus 2 full size bandages.
Well I'm English I prefer the imperial system I use the metric system as well though I prefer degrees Celsius to measure temperature Easier to understand
TheUnknown777 Hmm, The whole idea of using this saw with your hands only or even with a couple sticks seems like a "You're doing it wrong moment." Ha ha! Thanks for the thorough reply.
I don't know why everybody is giving him a hard time about the metric system. Especially those people misspelling the word standard, lol there is no T at the end of standard.
Ancillary direction indicator is potentially useful. Put it on a flat surface in a bowl of water and add a piece of magnetized metal to the center and you can use it as a compass. To magnetize ferrous metal try rubbing it on your hair or a bit of fur.
I don't get this argument. You might be using it for day to day life, but anything that has to be done with precision that matters is done with metric. You're one of less than a handful of countries that use imperial... and yet metric is still used for science and not imperial even in the US. All this argument that imperial is fine does is create confusion because you have to be a unique special snowflake instead of standardizing with the rest of the word. Metric works just as fine if not better for day to day life and everyone else is using it, just imagine how much simpler things would be if everyone used the same system of measurement but the US is basically singlehandedly preventing that from happening.
The reason America hasnt switched to Metric-Or at atleast its a guess- is because it would be very costly.Replacing road signs alone would cost a good bit.Manufacturers would have to convert values on packaging. Everyday people would have to replace their tape measures, mechanics would have to switch to metric wrenches, people who didnt know metric would have to waste time figuring out what it means to say its 20 degrees Celsius outside.It simply isnt worth the cost.
12W Carpentry and Masonry Specialist for Army National Guard with years of experience in carpentry on civilian side, and currently an automotive technician student with no professional experience in this field other than cross training into 91B Wheel Vehicle Mechanic. I have done some other occupation that aren't engineering related but may use some common tools, but never heard of a butterfly wrench. I looked it up, apparently it's used for wingnuts. Was not aware there was a tool for fasteners that should only be hand tightened. Perhaps if the wings are nearly gone or you got bad hands (I know some people with gnarled hands) it may be useful, or if you can find something else you could improvise it's usage in, but I don't know anything for that outside of using it as a windless for something like tightening ropes or cordage.
Great vid! At 03:39 - the instructional videos I have seen on that device wrap it around a stick. They only used the finger holes on the saw to cut the branch that would become the handle of the saw, and then they attached the saw as the blade of an improvised hacksaw. Then you could tend to a large amount of wood, and not worry about finger strain. /$0.02

"metric or standart" When will americans finally realize that Metric is the standart and just far more logical and easier to use than the imerial system?
Well imperial is easy for personal at home guess work, where accurate measurement isn't needed. While you need to say 667 centimeters or 2/3 a meter, in imperial you can say two and a half feet. They both have their uses, if you say 'about this big' with yours hands, on average you match up with a 'foot' about 80% of the time, our minds don't like long complicated numbers for quick math. Now if Metric invented a foot alternative, you could sign me up, but until then, Imperial works for what it is.
..........you dont say 667 centimetres. You just say 6.6 metres.
@@henryettoit897 The question is though, how easy is it to visualize fractions, most people nod their head and just go along with it, not really grasping the actual distance in their head, Imperial on the other hand allows you to still do base 10 measurements but in easier to digest chunks visually for our minds.
I should have explained better, 10 as in feet, IE one floor, or 3 meters. Its easy to visualize floors and therefor how large things are if you say 40 feet or 45 etc.
When people like you stop getting butthurt over it.
Actually metric system is standard
psychopath gamer lol ikr
He's an American making content in English, so for the majority of his viewers, the imperial system is the standard for day-to-day life. In fact, in his channel description, he even mentions "The American Dream", so it's probably American-centric content
Infantile.
Thats like saying because someone is African they are idiots.
@@glick7192 oh no dont worry it is only racist if it is not a american (sarcasm)
nice!
Butterfly screw - is the nut with wings that you can tightened with bare hands, they fit in the straight cut on the card. The Square cut with a little insert is also a bottle opener
Butterfly wrench I think is used to loosen or tighten wing nuts.
Nothing like a driving screws in survival situations.
It's prob more for loosening screws to get to things or what not as opposed to tightening or driving screws in
@@austinjordan8840 Yeah, but being able to see is rather important in a survival situation. If the wrong screws become loose on my glasses, an inability to tighten them will ultimately result in losing the lenses. Without them, I can't read jackshit! So much for the nice map I brought along!!
Oh I've losted it in grass 😕🤣
The $9 kit needs a little paper inside that says: "You're screwed. Here's some spices so the bears have a nicer time eating you."
The small chamber in the whistle is for matches, u can put matches inside and it will be waterproof as there is a rubber sealed cap.
"I used one of these once.........to cut bone... didn't work well." hahahhaha subscribed wtf xD
“Well, does the fire steel work?” *sets house on fire*
you should put together your own survival kit like you did with the toolbox
HAHAHA, great video! The multi tool killed me, your comment about the hearing aid batteries, lol.
If you had to, you could definitely use it: saw to cut wood, fire starter to start fire, and pliers to cook with. Torch to use at night.
"You can stack up your little hearing aid batteries there"
me: "Huh? what was that?"
id like to think i'm funny
but i'm not
bye now
And I wear hearing aids 😂
@ 9:49 Yes there is a cap lifter / bottle opener.
halnywiatr There's a better one in the metal card. It's the big almost-square hole.
im loving this cheap ____ on amazon series
Aside from the compass everything looks quite good.
You should braid paracord handles though the key-rings on the wire saw
You use it to cut a flexible branch, and turn it into a bow saw!!.The hell with Paracord handles, just bring the Paracord!!
I think the case is the most valuable part of the kit. You could use it for your own survival gear.
haha
This product is great if you don’t plan to leave your family room.
🤣🤣🤣
Butterflies are the little twist on things with the 2 petals, hanging outward on opposite sides. I've seen them under tables and furniture, but that's all I can think of
I bet wing nuts could be considered butterfly screws in other countries. So the butterfly wrench is for them. Even though you can tighten them with your fingers.
BTW the string saw is used to cut a skull during surgery
Don't forget heart transplants as well.
Remember the OSIS survival kit?
the one with a comb?
Yes
The low tech whistle don't even work on that one.
Those wire saws do work well on bone, because that's what were originally designed for.
They started out as a surgical instrument.
Anytime it's winter you should probably have some sort of survival kit in your car whether it's water space blankets etc in the winter that stuff is priceless if you spin out in the winter
I would defiantly buy this!THANK YOU FOR THE ReVEiw
Bro get your grammer right.
Autistic Mugger maybe he’s joking. Just maybe.
@@impulse4079 He's being defiant!!
the butterfly wrench is for what we call wingnuts in the US, and the compartment in the whistle should be able to hold 1 or 2 matches
Not bad! Takes up almost no space or weight too. It's the ideal kit when you don't want to carry but is already there in your luggage or back pack or fanny pack, or in your jacket pocket.
Granded we never expected the worst until it strucks us at the moment of most unexpected situation. It should include a 2X3 inches shatter proof mini mirror and a plastic magnify glass , 2 fishing hooks, l roll of 20 ft of 6-8 lb capacity fine fish line. Plus 2 full size bandages.
Well I'm English
I prefer the imperial system
I use the metric system as well though
I prefer degrees Celsius to measure temperature
Easier to understand
Please PLEASE start using the pocket saws as a blade for a makeshift bow or buck saw, that's how you use them.
TheUnknown777 Could you make the saw with whats in this kit?
Thanks for the detailed account! More people need to know about the 'advanced' use of these saws.
TheUnknown777 Hmm, The whole idea of using this saw with your hands only or even with a couple sticks seems like a "You're doing it wrong moment." Ha ha! Thanks for the thorough reply.
I don't know why everybody is giving him a hard time about the metric system. Especially those people misspelling the word standard, lol there is no T at the end of standard.
Except that in many languages there's a T... Have you ever heard of non-native speakers?
the butterfly wrench is designed for use with "butterfly" nuts or wing nuts
Ancillary direction indicator is potentially useful. Put it on a flat surface in a bowl of water and add a piece of magnetized metal to the center and you can use it as a compass. To magnetize ferrous metal try rubbing it on your hair or a bit of fur.
I wouldn't even buy a multitool for $10 let alone a whole kit to go with it!
Me : JUST OPEN THE DAMN BOXXXX
Its not called standard its called imperial because believe it or not, most of the world uses metric
In America its the standard.
@@glick7192 lol another useless Thing in America next to The Potus
America uses it just fine,seeing as how most people use it on a daily basis,so I'd say its working well for us.
I don't get this argument. You might be using it for day to day life, but anything that has to be done with precision that matters is done with metric. You're one of less than a handful of countries that use imperial... and yet metric is still used for science and not imperial even in the US.
All this argument that imperial is fine does is create confusion because you have to be a unique special snowflake instead of standardizing with the rest of the word. Metric works just as fine if not better for day to day life and everyone else is using it, just imagine how much simpler things would be if everyone used the same system of measurement but the US is basically singlehandedly preventing that from happening.
The reason America hasnt switched to Metric-Or at atleast its a guess- is because it would be very costly.Replacing road signs alone would cost a good bit.Manufacturers would have to convert values on packaging. Everyday people would have to replace their tape measures, mechanics would have to switch to metric wrenches, people who didnt know metric would have to waste time figuring out what it means to say its 20 degrees Celsius outside.It simply isnt worth the cost.
12W Carpentry and Masonry Specialist for Army National Guard with years of experience in carpentry on civilian side, and currently an automotive technician student with no professional experience in this field other than cross training into 91B Wheel Vehicle Mechanic. I have done some other occupation that aren't engineering related but may use some common tools, but never heard of a butterfly wrench. I looked it up, apparently it's used for wingnuts. Was not aware there was a tool for fasteners that should only be hand tightened. Perhaps if the wings are nearly gone or you got bad hands (I know some people with gnarled hands) it may be useful, or if you can find something else you could improvise it's usage in, but I don't know anything for that outside of using it as a windless for something like tightening ropes or cordage.
Great vid! At 03:39 - the instructional videos I have seen on that device wrap it around a stick. They only used the finger holes on the saw to cut the branch that would become the handle of the saw, and then they attached the saw as the blade of an improvised hacksaw. Then you could tend to a large amount of wood, and not worry about finger strain. /$0.02
The whistle is a weed container.
OMG I have a larger version of that Multi tool that I bought for 10 Dollars!!!
Did you bend it trying to cut wire?
I have a Leatherman multitool that bought for around 7 bucks. I've used it maybe 3 times because of the pliers that part of it but I've never tried the Phillip's screw driver.
I enjoy watching you go through this kit! I lol I needed to see this ! I bet at your birthday your cute opening presents! What is the best survival kit? Or should you make your own survival kit? ?
I would add a signaling mirror, and also put some dryer lint/fire starting material inside the container on the whistle. 👍🏻
wonderfully and expertly made video!!! I greatly appreciate it.
"Oh look, a man from the u.s. using the most common form of measurment in the u.s. ,lets gripe about it in the comments"
Why not get with Brian the Astronaut who, I suspect, has gone to at least one USAF survival school and build some examples of Good Self Made survival kits instead of just taking the mic out of these Chinese kits which at best are a total waste of money and time and at worse might give someone a false sense of security and safety.
That "storage" compartment in the whistle is really just a sneak a toke for your smoking needs.
I'm sure you're going to get tons of people telling me what a butterfly wrench is but it's for turning one of those bolts with the wings on them.
9:10 I can't stop laughing.
What happened to the timber framing videos?
Nick H Deep 6 Leather Works apparently most people would rather see Cody make a fool of himself. Subscribers have been going up much faster now that he's stopped timber framing. Sad but true.
R.D. K he's waiting for the lumber to dry before he mills it so what happened last time doesn't happen again. he's said this many times.
I got one of those same little flashlights.. came on a cheap victorinox knock off knife .. I removed the flashlight and it is now part of a Altoids tin survival kit takes up such tiny amount of space it worked well
Just saw this. When in the mountains lost, this is a treasure. This is better than killing your dinner with your bare hands.
a book of penny matches is a better survival kit
Who is watching in 2018!!
Me
I’m in 2019. Ha
There is a bottle cap lifter in the card tool, it's the big rectangular hole with the protruding blade to lift that cap.
I suspect the butterfly wrench is for gripping wingnuts.
Ah yes, that happens so often when surviving in the wild
The survival kit for people that don't REALLY wanna live anymore.
5:40 metric IS standard xD
No. It isn’t.
Not in America it isnt
"Is this whistle loud?"
Proceeds to blow a whistle so loud i go blind after my ears stopped bleeding
A butterfly wrench is one you use to loosen or tighten wing bits
Is this the metric system or """standar"""? LMAO American things
well it is still named the standard system in the us
Begone, Commie.
