Saw this Kit on eBay as well, very nice. Those mini light sticks are made for night fishing but can be used anywhere. If I can get a break on shipping, I'll buy one or two to add on to knife kits.
Very cool, I found these on Ebay last year and thought it could ride in a shotgun pouch or something along with hunting gear. I carry the Altoids style tin myself, but something on the keys is always with you. Nice review
You must use the ground as support for striking to get sparks. Not in hands only. Just put stick on ground close to thinder... I am using same kit and finaly its not bad. Swapping the current safety pins for bigger one, removing the black painting from the fero rod stick, adding weight and fishing line is recommended. Good luck.
NewHampshire Bound 0.5$ paracord, 0.1$ split ring, 2.5$ firesteel (basic quality), 0.1$ compass, 0.5$ condom, 0.2$ scalpel, 1.2$ water purification tablets, 0$ striker, 0.1$ glowstick, 0.2$ fishing line, 0.1$ swivels, 0.2$ hooks, 0.2$ sewing needle, 0.25$ safety pin, 6.15$ total not counting cartridge. So that survival guide is worth 8$ to them. I am quite curious about it. Master Tracker What would you contain in kit using same container? I'm just curious if we would agree on contents.
Master Tracker Of course you want to have the best equipment you can have at the time. But sometimes, kit like this is the best you can have at given time. As saying says: "the best kit is one you have with you". And this is the idea behind "small and not very effective kits". Aside this, I completely agree with you. Even a soda can is better for boiling water than tin foil cup is.
Usually ones that are found in these kind of kits are not lubricated, just plain latex. Just like the latex gloves or latex balloons. being sealed its sterile, a lot cleaner than your filthy beer can you wish to use.
I know this an old comment but if you're interested in surviving with very little focus on skills. Realistically if you know what you're doing all you need is a axe,knife,and proper clothing. Obviously it would be ideal to have more but you can pretty much build anything out of wood,bones,hide,and clay.
UCSK kit is no longer available even from Polymath web. Anyway I tested ir also and it is not as bad as it looks like... An emergncy water, fire, food is provided and shelter must be improvised externaly. Thanks for vid...
Thornton733 it's not a real shotgun shell so you should be fine. There's no shot, powder or primer in it. If you tried to load this into a shotgun, nothing would happen
this is a commercial version of the "20/20" 20Ga survival kit project featured in Backwoodsman Magazine 3-4 years ago, which featured a similar list of 20 Items stuffed in a shot shell. Way to go, a company ripping off a craft project from a magazine, real innovative there. Probably why its not available in Amazon US......potential lawsuit.
OK perhaps I was a little harsh. You only have so many container choices, and everyone does altoids/sardine tins or plastic whistles. It does get points for form factor even if it's a craft project ripoff.
4.8 out of 5 from 145 people. cant be a bad kit. no its not going to get you through the apocolypse but a few essentials will help. rather buy this than a way overpriced s.o.l kit which is a very expensive novelty. all the survival experts in the comments section are hilarious. guarantee if it was made in US would be a different story.
if you see them in their context they eare great, backup gear maybe back up for the backup you got fire water(kinda) and food its at least enough to let you go back to a camp compass is always good and the hex saw yesh its bad but u can scrap the rod with it glow stick is useful when you drop your kit at night and need to find it the safety pins can be used for repair or make hooks using them i mean to be honest this or nothing in the wild?
+DreadlockDrummer Assuming that you meant that you would have sex with the deer, Why would you need a condom? Its not like the deer would than have a Human/Deer hybrid offspring if you don't use a condom...
and the likes for the video prove it. i mean you are basically paying that money for subpar items that dont even matter. ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
Kamikaze Krunch i actually own one of these kits and the contents are actually very high quality. you cant really judge just by looking at it. the contents DO matter as i would far rather try to survive with this than nothing at all. and it always comes down the the knowledge you have anyway. if you have to rely on a lot of kit then you probably wouldnt fair well in a survival situation.
There's $12 sardine tins with more stuff in them that's more useful. Pretty much everything this kit includes but a better blade, a whistle for signaling and other such stuff, even the tin itself can boil a small amount of water in. At the very least it provides you with enough good enough quality items to make your own compact kit in an altoids or tobacco tin.
KingTesticus Then this is just not for you. That doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. I think for bullet size kit, I would pick pretty much the same. Only one change - outside, I would wrap it with duct tape (and you can do this anyway). You can complain about it to be too small to have impact in survival situation or it to be too big for number of basics it covers, but you basically told us just that "you are better than this company's designers", and THAT's lame and I don't see any better version on your channel even two months since you post.
"than" this is....? don't you mean THEN this is not for you...? and "bullet sized?" it isn't the size of a bullet, it's a shotgun shell. shells have multiple projectiles (usually) and a bullet is just a single projectile. and yes, i AM better than this "company's so called designers." the reason you don't see anything on my channel is because i'm not selling such things. if you want to call me "lame" because i'm not selling JUNK, then you may blithely go fuck yourself. it isn't lame to declare a true fact. i AM a better designer than this "company" and YOU because i'm capable of recognizing CRAP when i see it. that thing isn't going to extend your survivability.
KingTesticus Right, i messed up third letter ;-) My bad. I recognized shotgun shell, but I simplified (man, you see it with your eyes, name it's called doesn't matter). And, I am not implying that you should sell anything (mostly people selling kits on RUclips have crap designs that make me laugh, or rather scream), guy reviewing this is not a seller. Man let's not continue this worthless discussion. I am in fact very curious about your ideas. If you can, make a video or at least some post with kit contents (preferably with pictures), then (noticed I have improved :-X) you don't need to say anything else. Just to be clear, I won't carry this also, because I have that basics covered, so it's true, that this wouldn't extend my possibilities.
MalyJohn3 i'll be happy to make something a little later on, but presently my new toy (laser cutter) is occupying all my time. i'm sure there's a way to blend the two: small EDC pocket kits and laser-cut parts...
Its cool you got it and showed it to your viewers, but to be honest this is really a waste of money. Its a looker but not a doer. But hey if you want to show your friends something cool at a party this would do the trick.
Saw this Kit on eBay as well, very nice. Those mini light sticks are made for night fishing but can be used anywhere. If I can get a break on shipping, I'll buy one or two to add on to knife kits.
Why not a orange cartridge case? If you lose it, it is difficult to find again.

You sure are fascinated by the packaging 😮
One of the best reviewed product so far
50 cents worth of kit for $16 bucks.
NewHampshire Bound 0.5$ paracord, 0.1$ split ring, 2.5$ firesteel (basic quality), 0.1$ compass, 0.5$ condom, 0.2$ scalpel, 1.2$ water purification tablets, 0$ striker, 0.1$ glowstick, 0.2$ fishing line, 0.1$ swivels, 0.2$ hooks, 0.2$ sewing needle, 0.25$ safety pin, 6.15$ total not counting cartridge.

Good starting point and then you add things to the ring loke a tiny torch and a squirt.
great little kit.a very helpful bunch of little thinks we sometimes need
Leave it to the Brits to market something that has already been done, only better, like the Altoids Tin kit.
I always like UK survival stuff as in the UK you can never be more the half a mile from civilization. sorry, I lived in England for 3 years.
Adventures with Frodo tell that to the Scots.
I just don't have enough money to waste it on such things, but some love novelties, and that's what this is.
Good luck on repacking it!
The thought of drinking out of a condom made me cringe a little. Think I might drink out of a filthy beer can I find in the ditch first lol.
you can make fire with a condom if you have water or can piss in it
Usually ones that are found in these kind of kits are not lubricated, just plain latex. Just like the latex gloves or latex balloons. being sealed its sterile, a lot cleaner than your filthy beer can you wish to use.
You can sterilize a beer can in your fire. And it is a reusable cup where as the condom is not.
Condoms easily break and become useless. You'd be lucky to get at least one use out of them.
So what is the plastic piece
How long do you think you could last in a forest with that?
not long. It is just a cool novelty item or an addition to a more stocked kit.
I know this an old comment but if you're interested in surviving with very little focus on skills. Realistically if you know what you're doing all you need is a axe,knife,and proper clothing.

I like how he uses a shemagh for the back drop
Its a neat little kit :-) nothing fantastic but its there if needed to help.....
With that survival kit if that all I have I think I would use the scalpel after I realized the rest just gave me false hope
Taofledermaus needs to review this.
Nice vid love your vids keep on makn em
Have you ever used this in emergency
Great ultra compact kit. I would put some black tape on the metallic end. The cops here would be stopping me 5x a day.
This survival kit was so small that I lost it and I fucking died.
If there is not light source, like in a cave, no matter how small, the glowstick will do the job.
Use the flat end instead of the one with teeth.
Were to order
why would you be so concerned on zooming yet do things off camera.
I am a prime member too,but how did you get free s&h ?
Awesome kit, but unless you have a license for a 12 gauge shotgun, that kit will get you 25 years in jail in South Africa!
Thornton733 it's not a real shotgun shell so you should be fine. There's no shot, powder or primer in it. If you tried to load this into a shotgun, nothing would happen
well i like some of it, hated the rest. Good rewiev thnx, for that a like:)
It's in a shotgun shell right?
It is
I put together some decent altoid tin edc's on eBay for $10 that have way more stuff than that
Yeh but an altoids tin is bigger than that you idiot duh that's just a shotgun cartridge
+Dan Rogers true
+James Shiels
you are the idiot sir .
@@jamesshiels7860 Doesn't matter the size, but what's actually useful and needed in a survival situation.
Really nice I'm going to get me one
Very cool.
Is it 16 dollars including shipping?
no
Endlar Filmations I heard somebody bought this for 6,50$
what has your nickers in such a thing twist.

20 gauge shells are smaller than 12ga shells. I'd hate to see what little crap can be stuffed into a 20ga shell meant as a survival kit.
UCSK= United Counter Strike Kindom
Nice shemagh
Do you pay 16.99 or 9.99
I do not care for the compact survival kits.
Whats in the kits I got at home now.
4.8 out of 5 from 145 people. cant be a bad kit. no its not going to get you through the apocolypse but a few essentials will help. rather buy this than a way overpriced s.o.l kit which is a very expensive novelty. all the survival experts in the comments section are hilarious. guarantee if it was made in US would be a different story.
Why do people only think the condom is only for sex?!?!?!
***** lmao I guess flavored condoms aren't meant to be tasted then...
***** and a lot of things kill sperm including....wait for, WATER
my point is its not like theres volatile chemicals
***** True, but still, washed one makes one of the best and most compact containers ever. They should imo make special ones just for water 3:-D

that was funny thanks for telling me I didn't catch it
why would you be so concerned on zooming yet do things in camera.
These micro kits are all garbage, only suitable as novelty items
if you see them in their context they eare great, backup gear maybe back up for the backup you got fire water(kinda) and food
its at least enough to let you go back to a camp

The camera is well to far back
it is
a condom? is that supposed to be incase you get lonely and spot a female deer or something? rofl
+DreadlockDrummer its to carry water, it's the same thing as you have in the USAF emergency kit usually 3 non-lubed condoms.
Did you not watch the video? -_-
i did, i'm just making jokes.

$15 is a little too much for what you're getting.
Sory that comment was before I finished it
kayd
lmao $15 is a huge ripoff for what you get here. I just can't believe people fall for crap like this.
and people are going to run off into the woods with it and think they can survive

why are you all like the condom so much is that the trend in the 21 century
total waste of money.
Sorry, this is a bad joke.
Dr Spaseebo some of these items are just novelties
lmao
All these survival gimmicks..lol
that so called kit is ridiculos
2 words: why condom?
They are used as emergency water carriers and can hold between 1 to 2 litres. Only use unlubricated ones.
1 day kit! would not buy
not what the condom is for
that's lamer than lame. i could totally make my own and it would be 100x better. sorry, but that's just the cold hard truth.
