*Regarding EDC and Survival Gear! What is your Absolute Favorite Budget Tool under $30 you have ever used?*
Thank you for the links, but it would be really nice if you could number them to make the items we want easier to find. Thanks.
I was so dead tired by the time i uploaded this at 5am after editing through the night! lol I usually do have the items listed in order.
i love your channel im in texas as well, my favorite would probably be a used wild venture tarp got in excellent condition for 25 bucks
I have been using wellslamont glove for ever hard farm and tractor driving for years
I used the sterno stove emergency kit
Where you at Chris? Everything Ok?
I miss you dude. Praying you're okay. Let us know your situation if you get the chance. God bless you sir take care.
Hey Chris you and your family ok I hope so
CHRIS THORN, WHERE ARE YOU AT, A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Worried about you man! Hoping it's a 6 month challenge!
I just came to see where he’s been as well
Hi! I'm Prepper Zan & I've been documenting what we're going through here in Houston Tx., it's been horrifying! Food shortages, water contamination, dealing with freezing cold weather with no electricity! I'm trying to get the word out to all of the Prepping community so we as Prepper can further sharpen our skills as Prepper's & be prepared for the worse case scenario! This has been like the Apocalypse!
2:56 or, as many of us call it, a _hatchet._
That's said, I've oft been referring to the Fiskars brush axe as a 'billhook'. It's another economical tool which might win over the hatchet if one wants to save a little weight & needs more emphasis on brush clearing duties.
He is such a cheerful dude and is always happy, he always puts a smile on my face
Please everyone your attention . He is still active on his other social media accounts mainly Instagram . He has answered that he will come back and he doesn't stop his channel he is just taking a break . Keep calm and stay safe.
@William Mills do you not have 30 seconds to go download Instagram? Then maybe you’d know why he hasn’t been posting on RUclips. Maybe you wouldn’t haye him so much.
@@ethanthomas5393 well I get what he means. Not everyone is an active user of social media/has an account.(like I don’t have Instagram or Twitter). It would be more than 30 seconds to create an account and go sub to him just to know he’s taking a break. So a little update on RUclips where a big portion of you fan base is at would be a good thing to do. I’m not unsubscribing but I didn’t know what he was up to until I just read through some comments looking for answers.
🧢
@William Mills you sound like you would unsubscribe from your grandma on life support because she isn't "active"
I really like these vids. Gives everyone an idea of what's out there , and affordable. I also like that you mention you've personally owned/used. Awesome work!
Glad you like them! Means alot to keep having the support for these after so many years!
@@DropForgedSurvival where re you
@@jebediahkerman2972 he went to Africa to be one with nature
Thanks for the video Chris. Feels like it’s been forever. Hope you and the family are well and safe. Take care brother.
Only a 11 days... but yeah. We lost power for 3 days which definitely slowed me down here locally
You forgot to add that the beeswax candle can be used to waterproof fabric and that in a pinch bees wax can be used to coat a cut or scrape to help keep if from getting infected if you don't have a bandage.
Definitely can for sure.
Speaking of firestarter, have you ever used the natural material kapok? It's often used as filling in pillows, furniture, toys, and so on. In its raw, uncleaned state it's really cheap (I've seen it on eBay for about $15 a pound.) One pound of this stuff will last you through probably 250 camping trips. Put as much as you can on a waterproof match container, pull out a bunch the size of a quarter (a match case will hold probably 200 bunches that size, it compacts REALLY small.) Fluff it up, put it in a pile of sticks and it'll almost catch a spark if you even think about sparking it. I've NEVER seen anything catch fire like this stuff from a spark, not even Maya Dust (fatwood shaved down to salt granule size.) Every jump kit, bugout bag, or 72 hour kit I have (not to mention my regular camping stuff) has a fire kit, all with a bottle of kapok. I use old small aspirin or Advil bottles. Give it a try.
Outstanding performance!! Big Homie, I can realy appreciate you and your channel especially great products for a very reasonably priced survival gear.keap up the great work.
Great job bro.
I picked up useful ideas.
Thanks.
I think thread and needles will be invaluable. Fixing gloves, socks,clothes etc. Will help you extend the life of alot of clothes and stuff
Chris keep these coming, I bought 10 of the Wow A1S tactical lights thanks to your videos. Waaaay better than anything else out there, especially for the price!!! Thanks brother!
Oh yeah. For $19.99 back in the day! They were always 100% on point
Personally, I love the Corona folding saw and the Schrade hatchet, both are nearly bombproof and have served me well for years! My favorite neck knife is the Cold Steel bird and trout knife, the ring on the end of the handle gives great control!
Great video! I doubt that most of us never tire of good (and sometimes incredibly affordable) gear videos. Thank you!
Thanks bud
I really enjoy watching your videos. It is not totally up my alley, as i live in a country where hunting and wild fishing is illegal and I am myself a scout, so my survival gear is a very small assortment of shelter items and equipment to build a base camp if ever necessary, but its still interesting to see!
Hi.Thank you for inspiring me my mom and dad for getting in to survival gear and prepping.
I'm Glad that I found this video. This provided a LOT of very useful recommendations
This is really such an impt vid. I keep coming back to it for reference. Thanks for finding Affordable AND Quality gear.
What a great no BS video. Quality products, good pros and cons, thanks.
Thanks alot John
Thank you very much for this budget friendly list😊 that pocket shelter is awesome. Considering buying the phone charger
Awesome video! 🌺 I definitely want to add some of the items you mentioned into my kit. Have a wonderful day ☀️🌴😎
Glad you found this episode helpful!
By far the best gear video I've ever seen.
Most videos have one or two items I'm interested in but this video has 10.
Cant wait to see new content! Your channel inspired me to start making videos! Hope you and your family are well!
Getting myself more survival minded , very glad to found your gem of a channel ... liked and subscribed bro 👍
I'm new to the game and have watched your videos ... now I will watch them again and like .... please don't stop them ... your info is great and you do an outstanding job .... keep it up.
Best folder pocket knives are
#1) Ontario Rat (own 2 and are amazing on par with spyder Co/Benchmade)
#2) Ganzo firebird series. (I own several some same kind with different scales) also most have axis lock!
#3) Crkt squid / Kershaw cyro (on-sale Kershaw)
Glad to see the gadgets under $30.00 back again!! It is great to see budget friendly items that are workable!! Love your videos!!
Glad you like them!
Glad you had the battery bank! I am definitely going to look into that!
You should look into it! It is solid for the low low price point. Not the "BEST on the market" but my personal one has been solid.
What’s up Chris how are you doing? Haven’t seen anything or heard anything from you for at least 30 days, are you missing in action what’s going on? the people wanna know. We hope everything is alright and you better come back strong 💪🏽
Love my roaring fire pack. There customer service and warranty is AMAZING
Thanks for the vid! Blown away to see we were featured more than once! Keep up the great work
Keeping making good stuff for all of us to see in the woods! Ill keep buying it and showing our favorite gear off!
Great video! First video of yours I seen and I'm hooked! Hope to see a car camping must have. Hammock, tent, sleeping bag etc...
Excellent video! Budget or not, this is a WEALTH of valuable gear information!
Checking to see how you all are doing. Haven’t seen the rest of the 7 day viewer series and nothing for months. Hope everything is okay
Love neck knives. All I use when I’m fishing because I find it easier to access and use when cutting line and stuff. Love the vid!! Only thing I would say is I would rather have the gerber dime than the leather man squirt
I have that CRTK neck knife for about 9 years now! Love it!!!!!
Awesome!
Love this channel! Thank you for the awesome content!
love most of it. I'm not much of an outdoors person but do sometimes camp and such.
Very good prices . Love your videos!!
Excellent gear! Tested by the best. Thank you DFS as always great recommendations.
My pleasure!
11:40 Glassbreakers/seatbelts cutters have never been properly utilized in a car accident, they're always in a glove compartment or a backpack, someplace where you can't get to it in an emergency.
Nice to see you putting out great content again!
Thanks? Again? Where did i go?
You are definitely one of my favorite channels but RUclips doesn’t post your new videos in my sub section I thought you were taking a break because of the virus or something. I’m actually kind of excited now to watch your last 5 videos 🙂 hope you and your family stays safe ✌🏻
Thanx great info,rockin the gear
I love when you do these videos Chris! lots of great little goodies that don't break the bank! For someone out there that's just beginning this is a great video to show you that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get some decent gear to start with.
One question if you don't mind me asking when you're shooting your videos do you shoot them in 4K at 60 frames per 2nd?
Thanks alot. Yes I film in 4k 60 fps and render my final episode to 1440p to save space and time when uploading to the tubes! This was filmed with an External Audio recorder and my Lavaier Mic and my Canon xa50 Professional Camera!
@@DropForgedSurvival Thanks man
so many interesting cheap products. i learned something new about the original version of the cold steel bushman. also i love that huge micro fiber towel for so cheap. i'll have to watch this a few more times to absorb it all. I look forward to your compact survival edc pouch. i've been trying to do that, but mine just keep growing in size lol
Right on! Means alot Charles. Glad you are excited to our Next Episode!
if you are feeling fancy and want to spend 50 to 100 on a cold steel, I have the SR 1 Lite, The Air Lite, Code 4, and also Rajah III and all are worth the $ with the SR 1 Lite being a beast.. I also reccomend Steel Will's Cut Jack or Spyderco's Tenacious. Both of them are around the mid 40's as far as price goes. Though the bush ranger lite is in the $ 30 mark and reminds me of some of the emmerson/kershaw CQC knives in terms of size and tank-ishness as I own both too. Love me Mr. Pointy or as my sister called them "Stick'em's"
Hey Chris miss your videos hope you and your family are fine. Praying for you guys stay safe and let us know whats going on
For a budget knife, check out what Milwaukee sells. I carry the duct knife ($30 Cdn) made from AUS8 steel and is full tang! They also have folders and other sheath knives
Chris , where are you pal ??? We all really miss you very much!!! You’re one of the very best!!! God bless !!!
Love these videos from u Chris, because there are usually 1 or 2 things that i haven't seen before which end up on my Amazon wish list, haha. Hope u get enough likes to do the EDC survival kit video!!
Awesome, thank you!
Welcome back Chris. Been a long time since you been here. Hope all is well and the family along with yourself are in perfect health .
Fox It Outdoors Thanks alot brother!
@@DropForgedSurvival it's been 30 days are you all right?
DropForgedSurvival hope your doing well big bollox...lot of us are concerned. Much love to the family , Wales uk
Hope you're staying safe during the pandemic!
Awesome display and list of the items on a budget man really loved the list will end up making a kit for a cousin of mine thats getting in to survival and outdoors and has just graduated from school...and can't wait for the next vid on the edc kit you got....
Means alot brother! I need to see a picture of the kit you build for him before you send it to him!
@@DropForgedSurvival for sure man will do....
I really enjoyed that. Thank you!!
I been prepping for some years but one thing I never thought of until today was a Butaine/ propane stove , I think I should add those to my other ways of cooking other then rocket stove / fire pit / propane grill / charcoal grill . What is more cost effective propane stove or butane ???
LOVE that wallet! Been using it for 2 years now and when it wears out I'm buying another.
The Chums Wallet is Absolutely Epic for the Money
I bought one last year and considering I have always carried a leather bi-fold it was not something I planned to like. Started using it as a vacation or travel wallet. Been carrying it every day now for a few months.
CtL
Bro totally agree Wells Lamont ALL THE WAY!! such bang for the buck I split cords of wood days longer than ANY other glove keep grinding brotha stay strong&healthy safe&happy!!(=✌💚
I got two Guidesmen multi tools at Menards for free after rebate before Christmas. They do this pretty often with various things. Right now you can get hand sanitizer for free.
Sup Chris love your videos and I just bought my first survival kit and it is amazing.
That is awesome!
I have the green minimalist and i keep it on my front on my riggers belt at work great little knife
It is awesome for the money
16:59 XD "It just works." I like that meme.
Yooooooo congrats on 300k man 👍🏻🎉🎉
Ive seen and reviewed a ton of solar power banks but have never seen one under $30 gonna have to look into that one. Great list man.
I had not either. but over the past 6 months. It has been wonderful to use overall.
@@DropForgedSurvival have you tried to solar recharge it yet? How long did it take? Ive got one that takes 2 days and another that takes 7
You talked about Schrade. I still have a schrade pocket knife my grandpa gave me almost 60 years ago. I carry it in my pocket most days.
I love your videos stuck in quarantine sucks I wish I could do I’m boxing stuff like this but money is tight
Money is definitely tight for so so many folks. That is why I felt a video on good quality Cheapo Tools was perfectly warranted for those of us preppers who wants good utility without breaking the bank
Great video! This list is great! I personally love the handline
Thanks for watching!
Hi, would love to see if you could survive a week with products from only wish! Would be interesting to test some of the things they have on there at the moment
Just came here from your 7 day 20$ dollar tree challenge. Subscribed and saw its been a while since you posted. Hope all is well and get to see new videos from you soon. :)
Excellent! Thank you!!
Good to see you again! I hope everything is ok! This was amazing! I'm kinda surprised a Mora wasn't in there somewhere lol. I had no idea those food tablets were a thing. I'd only seen them in sci-fi. I'm definitely looking into all of them now. I also really like that ferro rod. Edit: I apparently hadn't watched the last video, I thought I had 😂
Psst... this is Episode 9 in the Series. Check my playlist on my main channel page
hope all is well.stay safe
Hey Chris hope u and your family is ok and hope to see another video soon love your vids
Love budget gear videos! I need to get off my lazy butt and film some stuff! Stay safe man
Haha Turn on that camera bud!
Great video learned much from it.
It would be really cool if he did a survival challenge using a really high budget. I think its interesting how well he does with budget survival gear and I would like to see how different it would be if he did it again but this time he was allowed to use a bunch of high end survival gear instead.
I have that exact solar panel bank, it's pretty amazing, but it is a dense and proportionally heavy bit of gear to carry. I still never leave without it
Worth it if you need to keep communications charged for multiple days at a time
what is the output of the solar panels on it? I thought it would be cool to have something like that, but the panels would take like 100 hours of strong sun to charge the massive battery.
@@prepareforit7323 it says max output is 5V/2.1 amps, Input is similar but 2.0 amps, with a capacity of 25000mAh.
@@nanomachines2985 Those specs sound like the outputs on the USB ports. I mean of the panel itself. At that price and size, I'd say it's probably a 3W panel, which would take days of direct sun to charge the battery a single time.
@@prepareforit7323 ah, my bad. Well I dunno about the wattage but I can tell you it takes at or around 30 hours in direct sunlight to fully charge. So practically speaking, around 2 or 3 days if you leave it alone
Glad to see you going strong brother.
This was a great and comprehensive list! :0
On the butane stove burn it for about 20min outside, some have a clear coating that smells rather bad til it burns off.
Keep being awesome!
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM CALIFORNIA HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE BE SAFE AND TAKE CARE.
Are you ever concerned that you live in an apartment and at some point you may have to leave your amazing stockpile? Do you have a secondary location? I have always been concerned about my preps in my apartment and having to leave.
Very cool & good prices too. I gotta get one of those solar powered chargers. Makes perfect sense for survival situations
Definitely. Glad you found this episode useful!
Yessss it’s back!!!!
FINALLY!!! lol
I hope all is well Chris
I believe gear aid also sells a clip point blade version as well as a kayak version
I think you are right.
Usefull stuff. Good vidio
What’s going on Chris? Can’t fathom why you stopped! Hope you and your family are doing ok. Praying for y’all.
I really enjoy these videos showing us what's available for our prep supplies. have you heard anything from Jazz yet? I tried to contact her but got no answer on her Channel
Where have you been? I enjoy and miss your videos. Hope all is well with you and the fam.
Hope all is good
Yes I love these videos!
Means alot Bud!
Keep rocking!
That was a lot..... and quality 👍🏿
Only our favorite CHEAPO Items make it on this list!
Chums wallets are the best!! Agreed!
I've loved those wallets since before they were wallets they were one zipper keychains at rei.i miss the old smaller ones but I've carried the original orange like,before yours for years now I don't even know, I went to traxex for a year but been back to my chums for a long time
I’m glad you starting to make videos again but my favorite one is the survival challenge ones
Thanks man. Have never quit making episodes. lol but yes. My Camping Adventures do take alot of time and currently with travel restrictions, etc its hard in my area to get out as simply as I could before.
Thanks for replying it’s awesome to talk to u I’m a huge survival person I just made a survival fishing spear and a fishing trap and caught tons to bad that the whole cronivirus thing limits were u can go can’t wait to watch cuter videos
