Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to discover survival food try Franaar Spies Control Formula (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got cool results with it.
Nice kit. Based on your views, I think you are doing this full-time so it would be great to see you take a kit like this, out in the the woods (somewhere you may not be familiar with) and do a video showing you using this type of kit to survive. Even if there are failures, it would be good to see and learn from them.
Man this one is by far one of the best all around wilderness survival kits that covers all the bases. I would add a wooden rat trap for small game to complete it .
@@TheProHuntingGood luck doing that during SHTF. A bow/crossbow will outlast a slingshot by miles. Hell, even a blowgun would last much longer than a slingshot.
Not only are your videos informative but I like the way you always put the link to everything that you're reviewing. There are a lot of reviewer's that don't do that. Thanks
Ed Rodriguez Really appreciate your comments. It's great to know that the links are helpful to you. They are a LOT of work to generate... especially when there are that many components in a kit like this. But I want to make it easy for your guys to build your own stuff... So... it's good to hear your comment. Thank you my friend! ~David
My additions to your great video - add small ziploc baggies with small amount of chia and flax seeds and rice. Also don't strike the fero rod with the blade side of the knife. The edge of the blade back is sufficient and won't dull the blade. Great vid!
A good alternative to the gas stove, some sporting goods stores sell survival stoves that burn wood. They're basically five sheets of stainless steel (or titanium) that you fit together into a box, then add two strips more on the top to make a stove top for cooking. It might be too wide to fit in your kit, but one advantage, it uses wood so you don't have to find another gas canister when it runs out. The steel ones run about $42, while the titanium ones run about $80.
Between this video and the canteen/Sawyer system video you have saved me a good deal of space and weight in my hiking pack,which by the way is a Condor 3 day assault pack I bought after your review of it, my fall hiking set up will be the most organized ever and I have been doing this for 40 years.
Nice kit! I think that I would've chosen a different slingshot & arrows though. The Pathfinder Pocket Hunter is a really good system, and it has an arm brace that, in my experience, makes it far easier to shoot, You can also get bands for it with up to 50lb pull weights, and the version from the Pathfinder Store has an attachment for bow fishing as well. The Pathfinder Store also has three piece carbon arrows with very little run out, and they have a specific take-down fishing arrow and arrow head. The Pocket Hunter was also designed specifically to fin into the cargo pocket of many types of cargo pants.
Gunslinger454 Thanks bro. So yeah... on the Pathfinder Pocket Hunter? It certainly would not fit in this kit. WAY, WAY to big and bulky! I do have one with Dave's arrows, extra bands, pouch... the whole deal... as I do Chief AJs and a few others. So... Do you have Dave's Pocket Hunter? Sounds like you do. If so... I would LOVE to see how you shoot it accurately. I have had mine for a while and still can't get the thing on target even with his arrows... and following his instruction. Normally I can get about any accurate weapon on target within a few shots... but not the pocket hunter. I would appreciate any help or advice you can give. I am frankly very frustrated with the thing... Thanks man! ~David
UltimateSurvivalTips I didn't really consider the bulk, but you're right. It is quite a bit bulkier than the one in your kit. The arm brace takes up a lot of extra room, but I've never been able to shoot a slingshot very well without one, so I put up with it. It took me quite a while to learn to shoot the Pocket Hunter with any kind of accuracy, and I'm still not as accurate as I need to be, but the only advice I can really give is to keep at it. I know that's not all that helpful to you, sorry. I don't have a background in traditional archery or in regular slingshot shooting. In this case that may have actually been an advantage though since I didn't have to learn something that works differently than what I already knew, but since I've never fired any other sling-bow systems I can't really say how it's different. If it really is that different from the sling-bows you're used to, and you're happy with those, it might not be a bad idea to find someone who needs one & give it away so that you don't unlearn those while learning the Pocket Hunter. Habits learned on one system transfer all too readily to other systems, especially the bad ones! As for me I just followed Dave's directions and kept at it until the arrows started going in the right direction. The only one of Dave's arrows that I have so far is the fishing arrow, and I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet. Right now I'm using the same 1-piece carbon arrows that I use with my compound bow. I just had the vanes on several of them replaced with feathers. Vanes don't work with the Pocket Hunter System, at all. I know that Dave warns against using them, but I had to try it just to see for myself. He's right; vanes don't work! The only thing I really did differently than what Dave recommends is that I started using my old hand-held rope release that I use with my compound bows in order to take a lot of the stress off of my fingers when shooting the Pocket Hunter. Unfortunately I got that release back in '98, and I haven't seen one like it for sale in probably ten years or more. That sucks too, because I really like that type of release! Still, I'd think that any release you like should work just fine. I wish I could be more help! BTW, sorry that it took so long to get back to you. Somehow I just missed your reply.
foldable stove. mine will burn wood and charcoal and has an integrated alcohol burner. it works great and even if my alcohol bottle runs out, i can still use twigs and wood
Theodore Sloat Agreed. This is a really nice little light. It's hard to find a quality single battery flashlight... and the Solitaire is it for sure. ~D
Put the inculded lanyard on it and hold the light in your left hand (if you are right handed). Now wrap the lanyard around the back of your first three fingers and put the keyring around the lens bezel of the light. There! Quasi hands free, and when you walk it shines in your pathway with very little efort.
I really like your use of the Stanley. If you carry a disposable lighter, go with a Bic. They are by far the most durable and reliable. Just trying to help
I never thought of weaving the paracord through the molle webbing. A way you could improve that is using Bladehq's Prepcord that has the normal 7 inner strands but also has a strand of 10 pound test fishing line through the whole cord. So if you weave 30 feet in your molle you have 30 feet of paracord and 30 feet of fishing line.
To: Ultimate Survival Tips - Awesome video. I own a Sling shot and practice with it regularly. If preppers practice with it they should be able to hunt small game easily. If they have never used one they will not be able to hit small game with it.
Ok, I can see augmenting this kit with a canteen and a belt knife, but two contractor plastic bags would make a great addition to this kit for shelter. The belt knife could actually be affixed to the pack.
The snare kit is a waste of time, replace the kit with 2 rat traps. Snares work 10% of the time rat traps work 80 to 90 % of the time. So 2 traps work as well as16 to 18 snares.
Problem with rat traps is they only work on one rodent. After that no rodent will approach it. I'd say your better off with specialized dead fall kits. Then you can use the rocks around for trapping, and set up loads of traps. The snares would actually be useful if you're in an area inhabited with lots of rabbits.
instead of maglite, personally i would do with a fenix e01. is smaller, more affordable. has a longer battery life AND in my experience is less prone to breakage - LOVE THE VID THOUGH... KEEP UP THE AMAZING VIDs Plz
I see you added tea bags... great if you're a "Brit" and it's 4:00 o'clock. There are also "coffee" bags in foil packages from Folgers and Kroger stores for that sense of well being one needs while trying to survive. A few hard candies, peppermints are good to sweeten hot drinks and help w/ upset stomachs. All in all though a pretty good selection of gear. Thanks.
Hello David, A small wood stove would also fit in the pouch and will give you a longer ability to cook. I would also replace the gas burner with the "Notkocher M71", I think this could give you more space for some other food. I ordered the other parts how you describe it, thank you for this !
I want to be positive on this very nice and informative video. I love the links and items listed. I really didn't need 100% of the items but I just took the advice on the videos and really love the bag and cooking kit. I didn't realized you can do this until watching this videos and all the items listed. Thank you so much!!! And PLEASE KEEP UP The GOOD WORK! Not everyone can present a video with all these good items in clarity. And again, Thank you so much!!!
Instead of just focusing what you can shove into a set pouch, you might want to set a weight limit as well as I'm sure for not taking up much space will be heavy as hell for its size especially carrying shot.
i found this video very helpful thanks David ., really dig the sling shot option i carry one in my bag as well.. i do use the vertical Altoids tin to carry my ammo it holds 60 rounds (3/8") comfortably.. so now building this kit gave me more space in my bag!
This is a pretty nice kit, but a couple of things would change, and this is just my personal preference, are the utensils and knife. I would put in a Snow Peak titanium spork and a Swiss army knife. I feel the spork might save space, especially if you get the short version, and a sak would also have a can opener and bottle opener. And some even have fish scalers/hook removers.
If your going deep in the back country get a mil surplus 26.5 mm flare gun and a cartridge insert .22lr or 45 colt/.410 with some ammo and a few flares ..now you have a simple basic weapon for self defense or hunting..and a distress signal too ..
I love it. But prefer to make each package custom to the situation I might come across. I don't buy prepacked survival kits made by a company or someone else ready for the shelves to sell, but will buy individual pieces of kit and make my own kit. Good ideas.
My dad has never taken me our hunting, camping, or fishing either. Thankfully I have, through other means, gone on many different survival treks and camps.
got a problem with uncle flint kits..you say affordable fishing kit? A altoids tin and about 5 dollars will buy you everything in uncle flint kits and more..$24.00 for their fishing kit is outrageous,as a matter of fact all their kits are priced outrageously high.
Pretty good job. Inexpensive components. And while it's very clever, I don't like for a kit to be packed so tightly. A little empty space is a good thing, and makes a bag much more useable. I live in an arid, area. The first thing to pack is a filled water container. 2nd is a charger for phone.
everything seems perfect in this survival kit but it missing one of the most important things like first aid. infection can kill you as easily as a knife in the heart so maybe you can add a few band aids and Neosporin and antiseptics to clean the wound. I may be wrong through I am only 12 years old. still good video.
Ya should have a spare double banded TBG set also, Ive taken turkey with double bands and I am sure you could take loads more. I have shot chipmunk with single and had them live actually haha. Not normally however I hunt squirrel all the time with slingshots and most times a single band works. Also cutting the tapered makes them last longer and gives you an easier pull!
Great ideas....I love the Coleman Camp Cook Set, I have one, it is awesome. I prefer the ToGoWare kit, which has a holder for the bamboo knife, spoon, fork and chopsticks which can be hung from your pack with a carabiner or looped through the molle. Great tip for carrying the slingshot ammo in the chapstick containers - genius
Having two canisters in a portable kit like this seems redundant. In my opinion only one is needed. With the saved space I would put a better knife in there as processing medium game would be challenging with a folding knife, and ditch the utensils and use a spork. Thats just what I would do, I also dont know if that much ammunition is well paired with only one gas canister... 150+ rounds of ammo is a lot of dead squirrels for only one gas canister! A none fuel stove would be more suited to long term survival that the hunting aspect is set up for. Anyways thats just my opinion, thanks for sharing your video. PS: Chlorine tablets would be a must.
Canadian Prepper Excellent! You ARE doing what I had hoped... Customizing the idea to suit YOUR preference and needs!!! Awesome... Yes... there is much redundancy... especially if you add this to my Survival Water kit. But if you only have one kit as a stand alone kit... you would still be well off... Your opinions and thought process are sound! You get a Good Old Canadian "Good Job Eh?" for that one... My son in law is Canadian... I Love Canada!!! Later bro. ~David
Canadian Prepper this kit doesn't have a water storage option so the extra cup gives you a way to boil water let it cool to a drinkable temp and boil more its also a way to cook and have something to drink out of!!!!
You can also cook over a fire and I think that is why David included a ferro-rod in the kit. I personally would use the gas system as a back up or emergency kit and cook with fire first. I'm not knocking anyone here. We all have our ways that work for us and that's fine, because it's all about what works for each person in a given situation. I do like Mr. Mixson's idea though!
I field dressed deer and bear with a folding knife. On several occasions, last year was the most recent one, I've butchered deer with a folding knife. Larger knives do make for a better job, but folding knives work fine.
Thanks for another great video! I have four of those condor packs that I use for water and gear storage. I have two them mounted on the sides of one pack as you have and on the waist pads of another pack for balance. They will hold a 32oz. Nalgene bottle nestled in a stainless cup and a bunch more kit in the front pouch and still have room for more stuff if you attach it to the mollie straps around the outside with "S" biners and/or paracord.
Great vid. I'm new to hiking/backpacking and use the Stanley cook kit with a no name butane/propane stove that has a ignition lighter built in that cost $12 Canadian. I got some great tips from this vid. First, there are gas canisters small enough to fit in the Stanley cooker. 2nd, the GSI mug fits under the Stanley cooker. I find the nesting mug is great and because it is doubled walled it is perfect for hot drinks. However I don't like mixing/eating food from the stanley, just boiling, so the gsi mug is great. As well, I never take along emergency hunting gear as I pack in plenty of food but a few snares and what not will be there for now on because they are super light weight and you never know. Thanks and your production quality is awesome
Good video, David. A tip for the coffee beans, you can crush four or five beans and boil them for a weak cup of coffee. Would like to see a video on a frog/fishing gig.
Diebulfrog79 That's awesome... Yeah send a link to our listed email address on the channel or Facebook... It will get to me... Thanks man! Always, Always, Always want to keep learning. Really appreciate it! ~David
i got the stanly. put it in a ss cup and ordered a condor bag. its going to carry rations and utensills with soap and scrub pad. rations are better. il put my hunting stuf in my pack.
You just mentioned 3 items I always take hiking, my Maxpedition molle water pouch, GSI cup and Stanley cook kit. Good kit. I prefer using solid hex stoves, because when you do run out of Hexamine to burn, you can still use the metal burner housing with twigs and other material, it's just enough to boil your water and cook food in a emergency. When the gas runs out, the whole thing is useless. They hare even small enough just to keep as backup in the molle pack.
Great video. I did use your Kleen Kanteen idea with 40 ouncers which fit in the GSI cup which then sqeezes into the 10 x 4 bottle pouch. But then I wanted something bigger for the 64 oz bottle I already owned. The answer, Maxpedition 12 x 5 bottle holder takes that 64 ouncer like it was made for it. I couldn't find a bigger cup but the GSI fits nicely upside down on top of the bottle. Mike in South Jersey
I still like Chief AJ's sling bow, the best that I have seen out there, it is kind of expensive, but have seen him take down a deer with it and it comes with a fanny pack for the sling bow and take down arrows and fishing rod to attach to it. This is another great video. Thanks
I love all of your videos. It seems to me that some of this food could spoil over time. Have you thought about finding other foods that have been vacuum sealed or has longer shelf lives so it would last longer? i.e. granola bars, protein powder etc. Also while I was in the Navy we had de-salter tabs to de-salt seawater, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere else. Any suggestions?
Great video David What I love most about your videos is how extensive and thorough they are on the step by step how to put it all together. The detail on building these kits is wonderful it's just a "hey look what's in my bag" there are thousands of those on you tube. Keep up the great work And Semper Fi!
Great video! 1st time viewer. Great little kit. I would add a small reliable compass, small 3"x3" mirror, small pocket magnifier, some toilet paper. Looking forward to watching more videos.
Nice kit. Check out the simple shot hammer sling shot sling bow. I have 1 and it's the best in my opinion. Mine is also able to fish. Ps those arrows did not look like they were flying true. Up the band and tune.
David, as usual you've blown it up like an atomic bomb! This kit is just what I've been looking for and why I subscribe to your channel. What were the different brands of slingshots that you compared to end up with the "top shot?" I ask because Dave Cantaberry has a great one on his Wilderness Outfitters site. This kit is genius and will save lives. Thanks again for such a well thought out system.
edward ford Hi Edward. Links to all the gear that I mentioned are in the the Video Description on RUclips... just waiting for ya bro! LOL. Yes, I have all the "major" hunting sling shot / sling bows here including Dave's and have been testing and practicing on them. I honestly can't hit crap with Dave's rig... plus his deal is as big as this whole kit... :) I'll be looking at 4 Sling Bow's sometime soon and Dave's is on the list. Later bro ~David
Love the inclusion of an old school pocket knife, but a comparably sized Swiss Army Knife or multi tool, would have been a more practical, and versatile choice.
Great concept, well thought out, stands the test of time as this video is already 8 yo n I think it's amazing. Great effort just like the MSK-1. Thanks for sharing David
Just a quick observation, and you guys probably already tried, but it looked like there was some space left over on top of the nesting kits. It looked like enough for the fuel can. Was ditching the cups necessary? Just my two cents
Love your vids - practical, common sense based, and incredibly informative. I love the way you recognize your audience may have an opinion or two and suggest where things can be adjusted based on their tastes. Keep up the good work!
I have to say, I really enjoy the channel, But I thought it might offer some constructive criticism from my point of view. The many rapid and abrupt video cuts and transition effects in the beginning of your video's lately are really jarring and do nothing but distract when I'm trying to focus on what you're saying.
Effuse Haa, haa... Sorry about that... It's the NEW help. My video guys are young and A.D.D. so they think everything has to be like an action movie... I am working on this and have passed your comment on to the guy who cut up this video for me... who happens to be my son... so this should help me make the case that I have been trying too with him... Thank you very much bro! ~David
Replace the arrow end with a golf tee. Its much easier to pull from a standard shot pouch. Great videos David. I'm waiting to see the Sigma 3 experience. Everyone subscribe!
An estimate on cost would be nice. I do not personally like 'ready-made' kits like the fishing tin. There are all kinds of people in all kinds of situations, and premade kits often are not the best for your situation. It seems like a lot of the components in this kit can be changed around, making it a good idea, but really you should include a simple estimate on cost. Some people might not realize you're looking at over $80 if you go with some of the choices mentioned.
I'm sure you get this ALL the time. What camera, mic, video editing software, tripod, etc. do you use/suggest? I searched your RUclips channel for FAQs and also your website.
Hey love your videos I love seeing all thw many things you do for us you should show us your MOLLE modular vest and its contents that we see in the intro of each video.
I remember watching these videos over and over as a kid, big nostalgia.
Thanks David, love you man.
Same here🙂

After purchasing all of the items David mentioned, I am now homeless. Fortunately, I have this kit.
Haha

Its not that great of a kit and he is definitely not the real deal.
Man this one is by far one of the best all around wilderness survival kits that covers all the bases. I would add a wooden rat trap for small game to complete it .
Sling shots are great but the rubber goes bad in less than a year.
So I got a $90.00 cross bow. Its bigger but it will last.
Pocket shot is the way to go my man
Replace it once a year, very cheap to do.
@@TheProHuntingGood luck doing that during SHTF. A bow/crossbow will outlast a slingshot by miles. Hell, even a blowgun would last much longer than a slingshot.
Why do people put so many negative comments? I love your videos and have probably watched this video 30 times. Thanks David

you should also add a small compass
Great video, but instead of using a blade to strike the ferro rod you could 90 degree the spin on one of the blades to save an edge
Instead of just focusing what you can shove into a set pouch, you might want to set a weight limit as well as I'm sure for not taking up much space will be heavy as hell for its size especially carrying shot.
That flashlight is really great for its size

I feel the spork might save space, especially if you get the short version, and a sak would also have a can opener and bottle opener. And some even have fish scalers/hook removers.
If your going deep in the back country get a mil surplus 26.5 mm flare gun and a cartridge insert .22lr or 45 colt/.410 with some ammo and a few flares ..now you have a simple basic weapon for self defense or hunting..and a distress signal too ..
I love it. But prefer to make each package custom to the situation I might come across. I don't buy prepacked survival kits made by a company or someone else ready for the shelves to sell, but will buy individual pieces of kit and make my own kit. Good ideas.
Two 18" squares of heavy duty aluminum foil, folded up, will fit between the Stanley cup and the GSI cup for a few more cooking options.
Dam.. and that was only the small one, my dad never took me hunting or camping so i love watchimg this videos, keep up the good work 😀
My dad has never taken me our hunting, camping, or fishing either. Thankfully I have, through other means, gone on many different survival treks and camps.
This is the best survival/bug-out pouch setup I have ever seen! Thank you!
got a problem with uncle flint kits..you say affordable fishing kit? A altoids tin and about 5 dollars will buy you everything in uncle flint kits and more..$24.00 for their fishing kit is outrageous,as a matter of fact all their kits are priced outrageously high.
greatbay1961 nvm my.
Insted of a scrubbing pad use one kitchen paper towel, lay it onto the gsi cup and push it in with the pot/bottle. It will hold together.
You can add on one or all Fremont knives to the inner belt loops as well!!
Pretty good job. Inexpensive components. And while it's very clever, I don't like for a kit to be packed so tightly. A little empty space is a good thing, and makes a bag much more useable. I live in an arid, area. The first thing to pack is a filled water container. 2nd is a charger for phone.
excellent. ..im.geting mine ready for HURRICANE season...and teams up with 72 hr . bug out bag..thanks again .mark

everything seems perfect in this survival kit but it missing one of the most important things like first aid. infection can kill you as easily as a knife in the heart so maybe you can add a few band aids and Neosporin and antiseptics to clean the wound. I may be wrong through I am only 12 years old. still good video.
Ya should have a spare double banded TBG set also, Ive taken turkey with double bands and I am sure you could take loads more. I have shot chipmunk with single and had them live actually haha. Not normally however I hunt squirrel all the time with slingshots and most times a single band works. Also cutting the tapered makes them last longer and gives you an easier pull!
Great ideas....I love the Coleman Camp Cook Set, I have one, it is awesome. I prefer the ToGoWare kit, which has a holder for the bamboo knife, spoon, fork and chopsticks which can be hung from your pack with a carabiner or looped through the molle. Great tip for carrying the slingshot ammo in the chapstick containers - genius
Having two canisters in a portable kit like this seems redundant. In my opinion only one is needed. With the saved space I would put a better knife in there as processing medium game would be challenging with a folding knife, and ditch the utensils and use a spork. Thats just what I would do, I also dont know if that much ammunition is well paired with only one gas canister... 150+ rounds of ammo is a lot of dead squirrels for only one gas canister! A none fuel stove would be more suited to long term survival that the hunting aspect is set up for. Anyways thats just my opinion, thanks for sharing your video. PS: Chlorine tablets would be a must.
Canadian Prepper Excellent! You ARE doing what I had hoped... Customizing the idea to suit YOUR preference and needs!!! Awesome... Yes... there is much redundancy... especially if you add this to my Survival Water kit. But if you only have one kit as a stand alone kit... you would still be well off... Your opinions and thought process are sound! You get a Good Old Canadian "Good Job Eh?" for that one... My son in law is Canadian... I Love Canada!!! Later bro. ~David
UltimateSurvivalTips Thanks David, keep it up!
Canadian Prepper this kit doesn't have a water storage option so the extra cup gives you a way to boil water let it cool to a drinkable temp and boil more its also a way to cook and have something to drink out of!!!!
You can also cook over a fire and I think that is why David included a ferro-rod in the kit. I personally would use the gas system as a back up or emergency kit and cook with fire first. I'm not knocking anyone here. We all have our ways that work for us and that's fine, because it's all about what works for each person in a given situation. I do like Mr. Mixson's idea though!
I field dressed deer and bear with a folding knife. On several occasions, last year was the most recent one, I've butchered deer with a folding knife. Larger knives do make for a better job, but folding knives work fine.
Thanks for another great video! I have four of those condor packs that I use for water and gear storage. I have two them mounted on the sides of one pack as you have and on the waist pads of another pack for balance. They will hold a 32oz. Nalgene bottle nestled in a stainless cup and a bunch more kit in the front pouch and still have room for more stuff if you attach it to the mollie straps around the outside with "S" biners and/or paracord.
Great vid. I'm new to hiking/backpacking and use the Stanley cook kit with a no name butane/propane stove that has a ignition lighter built in that cost $12 Canadian. I got some great tips from this vid. First, there are gas canisters small enough to fit in the Stanley cooker. 2nd, the GSI mug fits under the Stanley cooker. I find the nesting mug is great and because it is doubled walled it is perfect for hot drinks. However I don't like mixing/eating food from the stanley, just boiling, so the gsi mug is great. As well, I never take along emergency hunting gear as I pack in plenty of food but a few snares and what not will be there for now on because they are super light weight and you never know. Thanks and your production quality is awesome
Good video, David. A tip for the coffee beans, you can crush four or five beans and boil them for a weak cup of coffee. Would like to see a video on a frog/fishing gig.
Diebulfrog79 That's awesome... Yeah send a link to our listed email address on the channel or Facebook... It will get to me... Thanks man! Always, Always, Always want to keep learning. Really appreciate it! ~David
Poxa, no Brasil não tem kits assim e mesmo se tivesse eu não tenho dinheiro para comprar um, você poderia me fazer uma caridade.
i got the stanly. put it in a ss cup and ordered a condor bag. its going to carry rations and utensills with soap and scrub pad. rations are better. il put my hunting stuf in my pack.
The only thing that i dislike about it is you packed it so tightly!
pretty handy but how much would it cost to put together
Great ideas. You should add a small magnet to retrieve the steel pellets.
You just mentioned 3 items I always take hiking, my Maxpedition molle water pouch, GSI cup and Stanley cook kit. Good kit.
I prefer using solid hex stoves, because when you do run out of Hexamine to burn, you can still use the metal burner housing with twigs and other material, it's just enough to boil your water and cook food in a emergency. When the gas runs out, the whole thing is useless. They hare even small enough just to keep as backup in the molle pack.
05Rudey Good point. I was trying to figure out how to have a heximine stove in there too... but it didn't work out... LOL.

Like everything he put in that kit or not, he fit a LOT of good stuff in a very small/handy bag.
Great video. I did use your Kleen Kanteen idea with 40 ouncers which fit in the GSI cup which then sqeezes into the 10 x 4 bottle pouch. But then I wanted something bigger for the 64 oz bottle I already owned. The answer, Maxpedition 12 x 5 bottle holder takes that 64 ouncer like it was made for it. I couldn't find a bigger cup but the GSI fits nicely upside down on top of the bottle. Mike in South Jersey
jeredsyn1964 AHHH... NICE... I'll have to check out the Maxpediation 12X5 Thanks!

You guys always have THE best survival video presentation on the internet!
Cool vid. I am a boy scout and know what its like to be on the wilderness. These tools are crucial in a survival situation. :)
I still like Chief AJ's sling bow, the best that I have seen out there, it is kind of expensive, but have seen him take down a deer with it and it comes with a fanny pack for the sling bow and take down arrows and fishing rod to attach to it. This is another great video. Thanks
Thank you for all that you do. You were part of my inspiration and my learning in survival. Thank you 🌱👀🌱
I love all of your videos. It seems to me that some of this food could spoil over time. Have you thought about finding other foods that have been vacuum sealed or has longer shelf lives so it would last longer? i.e. granola bars, protein powder etc. Also while I was in the Navy we had de-salter tabs to de-salt seawater, but I haven't been able to find them anywhere else. Any suggestions?
Please Dave give it a try on Darts + Slingshot, intead of arrows! Show it to us. A lot more packable.
great use of that little canteen holder .
Great video David
What I love most about your videos is how extensive and thorough they are on the step by step how to put it all together.
The detail on building these kits is wonderful it's just a "hey look what's in my bag" there are thousands of those on you tube.
Keep up the great work
And Semper Fi!
well done! lots of work in this video, and it shows you know what you're doing. thanks for sharing.
That bag is like one of those clown cars, you dont expect that many things in it.
lol
In some video, I saw to use a mini bic and put a zip tie under the valve to prevent fuel discharge
Great video! 1st time viewer. Great little kit. I would add a small reliable compass, small 3"x3" mirror, small pocket magnifier, some toilet paper. Looking forward to watching more videos.

I Put Together A Very Similar Kit But Included Traditional Wooden Rat Traps.
Lashed To A Tree And Baited, Very Useful In Harvesting Squirrel.
ianrsigel Indeed. Rat traps for squirrel are my favorite... but they would not fit in the front pouch... but the ARE in each of my bug out bags... LOL
este fue el kit mas completo que vi hasta el momento, con este kit podes sobrevivir 1 mes sin problemas XD.
exelente
Nice kit. Check out the simple shot hammer sling shot sling bow. I have 1 and it's the best in my opinion. Mine is also able to fish. Ps those arrows did not look like they were flying true. Up the band and tune.
that maxpidition 12×5 is awesome I got my whole kitchen in it,
David, as usual you've blown it up like an atomic bomb! This kit is just what I've been looking for and why I subscribe to your channel. What were the different brands of slingshots that you compared to end up with the "top shot?" I ask because Dave Cantaberry has a great one on his Wilderness Outfitters site. This kit is genius and will save lives. Thanks again for such a well thought out system.
edward ford Hi Edward. Links to all the gear that I mentioned are in the the Video Description on RUclips... just waiting for ya bro! LOL. Yes, I have all the "major" hunting sling shot / sling bows here including Dave's and have been testing and practicing on them. I honestly can't hit crap with Dave's rig... plus his deal is as big as this whole kit... :) I'll be looking at 4 Sling Bow's sometime soon and Dave's is on the list. Later bro ~David
This video is genius. Just got everything from Amazon.
Hey David could you review the sly steel shark tooth knife by any chance???
I think he is the best survival tip guy ever and I love your videos ☺😁
Love the inclusion of an old school pocket knife, but a comparably sized Swiss Army Knife or multi tool, would have been a more practical, and versatile choice.
mixter102 Good suggestion. Thanks. ~David
I love this kit :) it is really handy
But i habe replaced the gas burner with an 200g can fuel paste and an alcohol stove cross stand
Great video!!! love all the products thank you for the time and effort you put in this video. It gave me what I need it extra for my bug out bag.
Best survival kit ever made
Damn!!! Super packed pack! Thats an art in itself sir!! 😀😀😀😀😀
that looks like a very good kit
use a hard fuel kit and stove stove only weighs ounces very cheap at our canadian tore stores up here
great idea's to expand a smaller EDC/survival car pack.
Great concept, well thought out, stands the test of time as this video is already 8 yo n I think it's amazing. Great effort just like the MSK-1.
Thanks for sharing David
I love this video. I have almost everything in it. Great for a bug out bag but a bit heavy for backpacking. Great ideas David, you're a real pro.
Just a quick observation, and you guys probably already tried, but it looked like there was some space left over on top of the nesting kits. It looked like enough for the fuel can. Was ditching the cups necessary?
Just my two cents
Love your vids - practical, common sense based, and incredibly informative. I love the way you recognize your audience may have an opinion or two and suggest where things can be adjusted based on their tastes. Keep up the good work!
MIND BLOWN ! This single video might be your best video ! great job David Thank you
Very smart what you chose and how it all fitted inside it👌
I love that small survival kit you did man. Great kit!
I have to say, I really enjoy the channel, But I thought it might offer some constructive criticism from my point of view. The many rapid and abrupt video cuts and transition effects in the beginning of your video's lately are really jarring and do nothing but distract when I'm trying to focus on what you're saying.
Effuse Haa, haa... Sorry about that... It's the NEW help. My video guys are young and A.D.D. so they think everything has to be like an action movie... I am working on this and have passed your comment on to the guy who cut up this video for me... who happens to be my son... so this should help me make the case that I have been trying too with him... Thank you very much bro! ~David
That kit is cool as hell. I gotta get one put together myself.
Replace the arrow end with a golf tee. Its much easier to pull from a standard shot pouch. Great videos David. I'm waiting to see the Sigma 3 experience. Everyone subscribe!
What fishing kit would you recommend? It looks like the uncle flints is no longer available
A detailed map of the area would be a nice addition
this was great man! I could even here the smile in your voice at the end. Great kit!
An estimate on cost would be nice. I do not personally like 'ready-made' kits like the fishing tin. There are all kinds of people in all kinds of situations, and premade kits often are not the best for your situation. It seems like a lot of the components in this kit can be changed around, making it a good idea, but really you should include a simple estimate on cost. Some people might not realize you're looking at over $80 if you go with some of the choices mentioned.
Where did you get the little 1oz containers that you used for the oil and camp soap?
randomuser75 There should be links in the video description to everything in the kit. Hope this helps! ~D
I'm sure you get this ALL the time. What camera, mic, video editing software, tripod, etc. do you use/suggest? I searched your RUclips channel for FAQs and also your website.
Hey love your videos I love seeing all thw many things you do for us you should show us your MOLLE modular vest and its contents that we see in the intro of each video.
