Thank you for the video! I am always looking for videos showcasing another “tool/gadget” and this one did not disappoint. The descriptive tasks that this tool does so well and was made for are the exact reasons why I carry a certain type of knife that I do- 10” blade , 1/4” thick S7 steel. It is custom made. I have used it to dig trenches, pry open doors, open boxes at work, cut steak and onions at home. It is my everyday carry.
I bought both the original MUTT & then the EOD model when he first started this company. I got these tools as suburban/urban SHTF tools as they are listed as.. DIGGING, SPLITTING, PRYING & HAMMERING tools. I believe he made these tools as he kept breaking his knives (Cutting tools) while using them for heavy duty uses not intended for knives.. and I believe he succeeded. These tools are TANKS! and do all the NON cutting, HD tasks they were made for very well in my opinion. Lol, I also thought of "Sharpening' all the edges a bit more, but figured that wasn't needed as these aren't really cutting tools. However.. the long beveled edge works GREAT for batoning when breaking down small logs for fire wood. I always have an EDC blade in my pocket and if some kind of EDC/SHTF "BAG" is involved I usually have a saw and a larger fixed blade for cutting/survival/bushcrafting uses. I think this simple, HD, tool was well thought out for the tasks you DON'T want to use your knife or sharpened edge tools for but that's just my humble opinion. I was REALLY glad to see a video on this tool as i think it's a great simple tool that does many tasks well. Combine this tool with a dedicated cutting tool (Knife) and a multitool and maybe a saw or hatchet and you'll be able to accomplish most tasks easily. Thanks for this video.. enjoyed it and keep up the great work!
Is there anything that you don’t find the MUTT big enough for, or reasons as to why you might prefer one over the other? Trying to decide to if I should get the original MUTT or the EOD for backpack carry.
@@brycedabull I'd suggest the EOD or what ever it's called these days for sure. You can baton a 4 or 5 inch log section easily to get to the DRY wood inside for fire starting. This tool for me was originally bought as a SUBURAN SHTF tool, it will pry open a window or door especially with the aid of some kind of hammer or batoning stick. Many people DON'T think about being trapped in a room... this tool would help get you through a wall to another room if needed to escape a fire or just to get to another point of egress. During a fire if you can get from room to room you might be able to get closer to a window, fire escape or stairwells... many died in rooms trapped during 911 bombings. This tool does what it was intended for... it SPLITS, DIGS, HAMMERS and PRYS so you don't damage you cutting tools (Knives, axes & saws). And does it VERY WELL! 🙂
@@allanpeterson2364 Thank you for the information, what you described it pretty much exactly what I was looking for. May not be something that is necessarily used on a daily basis but adds a ton of utility when I wouldn't have larger or more dedicated tools.
Just so you know, these are not heat treated like a knife, far softer. They'll work like a splitting wedge, but they won't take more of an edge. If you sharpen them more, they'll just mushroom. They're meant to pry and take impact to an extreme. Been using several I've had for years. What they afford you is that you can carry a lot higher performance knife than something like an Esee 5, because you don't need the knife to do more extreme tasks; you can just let the knife be the knife. Another thing it's good for is when other people ask to borrow a knife in the field. 95% of the time when someone asks to borrow a knife, what they really mean is that they need a pry bar, screw driver, scraper, awl, digging tool, or small hammer (I wish this last one was a joke). Maybe I just need better friends. Lol
This has nothing to do w/ todays video but it’s important nonetheless. I’m reading a book titled 81 Days Below Zero. It’s the story of a B-24 Copilot serving in Alaska in WW2 who has seconds to bail out deep in what is today Denali National Park. He’s poorly equipped: Scout knife, parka, mucklucks, 40 stick matches in 2 paper boxes, parachute and the accoutrements on a WW2 reserve chute. The chest pack, plenty of para cord and enough silk to keep from freezing at night while sleeping. His parachute rig did not include the SRU-16 parachute survival kit. Here’s the point of my message: he left his gloves and mittens in the cockpit when he removed them to safety check before launching through the bomb bay. Can’t blame the man; the ship was cracking up as he leaped. His predominant plight? He’s in -20F with nothing to protect his hands. Every day he worries about 4 things: frostbite, matches, no food and they were miles off course when the catastrophic breakup occurred. If his hands & fingers become inoperable he cannot light fires or use his jackknife. Think about it gentlemen. Proper hand protection should be moved up the survival kit priorities to live in the same realm as knives, ferro rods, water bottles and cordage. I recommend the book and here is a link to the aforementioned parachute survival kit. I believe it was sewed into a primary lifter strap but maybe a USAF veteran can confirm? www.equipped.com/sru-16p_kit.htm
Thank You for the video, sir. It’s a lot of great ideas, here. I have to work with just one bag. As a retired UN-veteran, with a very low income. Best wishes, from Norway. Thumbs up!😀👍
It's a nice made in the U.S.A. tool, but I think the ESEE 5 is a better tool for the job. Thanks for the content. I really enjoy watching you're channel
I worked 30 years on Truck co. in a large NE FD . I carried a 10 inch motorcycle tire iron in my coat pocket as a pry bar, for times when I wasn’t carrying proper sized tools , or didn’t need to destroy a door or window , it worked well , $10 .
Good information, I've read some of the comments, I have the EOD breacher bar , slightly smaller than this one but it has come in handy a few times in the last ten years, last use was opening a wooden ammo crate. The multitool is good when there is no other tools at hand, Last weekend no one had a screwdriver at the range mine saved the day removing an optic so a friend could use his iron sights when optic went down.
There are two types of fellows: •Those who’ve discovered the utility of chisel knives •Those who have yet to discover them What we share in common is the minute you use one it’s either earned a place in your primary tool chest or your Amazon shopping cart. FWIW I have a fairly pricy Dewalt and a Hultafors that cost half the money and aside from the Dewalt being an inch longer they’re the same. The cheaper Hultafors came with a gimmicky snap safety scabbard but tbh I doubt it’d hold up in the field. Still it is ok for protecting fingers in the tool bag
I carry a Kbar in the Get Home bag to use as my emergency knife and it's an awesome pry bar in an emergency.. I can open a can of food,..or pry open a door or window with it..
Thanks for the review. This is this something I would not use or need for all the things I have in my get home bag. Glad to see it was made in the USA.
Legend has it that 1500 years ago people were waiting for the apocalypse, and an unknown number of generations later it seems, just like Sum41 we are still waiting…
Some tools can perform similar Good tools are tools you can perform multiple tasks without having a tool to do something specific-yes a ferro rod is pretty much specific; however you can use almost any kind of tool with a chiseled wedge tip or pointed tip to dig into fairly soft soils-a mason’s chisel for example would be good for chiseling rocks 🪨 but could also be used to dig into tougher soils, chiseling or prying into a log/tree branch, etc. nothing wrong with a good crow bar/pry bar that has a good wedge shaped chisel end and a curve on the other to pry/leverage into something to break it open. If you’re talking about apocalyptic urban survival, you’re gonna need pretty serious tools and skills to survive that insanity. Most people will want to get away from the cities assuming the country or wilderness will be better to relocate to than dealing with the berserkers, insanity and criminal activities that would happen in a city during such. Now the flip to that is the country folk or property owners that have the land won’t want anyone on their property but who they invite onto/in it! Insane times mean insane things could happen. Or worse, a group has taken a property or “commandeered” land or property and won’t let anyone travel through it, as they’re going to protect the resources and wha they have on it to sustain themselves. Lots of alternative thinking than the conventional peace we live in now.
It would probably do a better job at prying and surviving impacts than any knife. Knives are heat treated so they can hold an edge better, but that means they are harder and thus more brittle. This thing is apparently NOT heat treated, meaning it's a softer metal that will not hold an edge very well and can't really be sharpened like a knife, but it means it can handle a lot more impact. Like you saw him bashing rocks with it. I wouldn't do that with even the most overbuilt knife, not even with the spine. They're just not made for it. Now with all that being said, I struggle to justify the sheer cost of this strange tool. I think it'd be very useful for splitting logs and stuff, and it's smaller and lighter than even a small hatchet. But it's also like 5 times the cost of my cheap hatchet. But my cheap hatchet is much larger and heavier, and doesn't have a cool sheath. I want to like this thing, cuz I do think it's pretty neat. But will I actually spend the money on it? Probably not.
A 10 inch pry bar…probably not the best way to spend your money…chopping on a bouncing branch to demonstrate the edge on the this tool, not a fair judgement of its efficiency. Find a solid base to chop on. Entrenching tool? The only thing I can think of that this very narrow “entrenching tool” is suitable for is taking a crap. The heel of my boot will suffice for the trench necessary for that task compared to the engineerically perfect trench created by the Mutt!
😂. Using a wood chisel to chisel rocks and then say you wish it had more of an edge. Hilarious. As soon as the digging started, I knew he hasn't had much experience with tools or in the woods. Funny to watch though. 😂
I'm not really sold on this prybar. Although it is thick, the steel isn't great. I feel like my Bark River Bravo1 in 3V would do everything it could, but better... I'd rather spend money on a bomb proof knife.
In a shtf situation.... your gonna need to probably breach alot of metal doors....and I don't think this Rogan is going to be sufficient enough to do so.... for smaller tasks yes it'll be good... but I think having a larger breaching bar is worth carrying
I see what they are trying to do here. But why not have any other 1/4 " thick knife over this ? This is basically a broken knife in my eyes. Wouldn't it be better to start with a sharp pointed blade? Personally I would carry something like an Esee 5 over this
Do you have that in Portuguese? Do you want to translate it to Portuguese? I can do that, if you think it's necessary. The Portuguese language market for these types of survival issues is growing.
Be rapture ready, but prepare to be persecuted and even put to death during the Great Tribulation. This pretrib rapture dream is exactly that. A dream!
Your "sharpened prybar" doesn't replace a knife and seems to me to have limited use in the real world. Years ago l bought a cheap Chinese machete and cut off all but about 12 inches, made the handle more comfortable, and then sharpened the squared off end. This very inexpensive tool acted as a light duty axe, digging tool, mini machete and pry bar. I made a simple over the shoulder sheath for it and carried it in the Canadian bush for years. It does not replace a knife, axe and saw, but can replace some of these some of the time, and all for less than $10.
I’m sorry , but I keep seeing people talk so much about having a leatherman tool for survival , lol it’s the most ridiculous thing to carry , I watch many, many survival channels as people go out and test their skills and bushcraft / survive in the woods, and NOT ONE person has ever pulled out a leatherman and used it. Even for urban survival , it would be ridiculous, unless you are taking apart small electronics…..try taking a car battery out with your leatherman lol. Try turning nuts and bolts , and most screws are too tight to turn with your multi tool . Good luck with it. When these people that pack their back pack and video them selves in the woods , no one uses this crap tool , they bring a silky saw or such, a small hatchet , full size knives …tools that can do the job. I’m sorry , I have yet found a survival channel that uses this leatherman as their primary tool , hell it’s useless even for a back up.. my bug out bags will have one full size screw driver , Phillips and flat , and full size pliers, and a crescent wrench . ..now that I can use urban wise if needed , but that multi tool is USELESS IN THE WOODS
I have a Leatherman and use it for all sorts of stuff. Picking up pots off a fire, sawing notches for tents stakes, wood shavings, you name it. The back of the saw makes a great ferro rod scraper. The drivers on it aren't great by any means, but they have gotten me by in a pinch. That being said, I personally don't see much point in this pry tool myself. I think I would just bring a small flatbar along with my usual carry. It definitely has a cool look to it though.
I carry a leatherman, and I've used it pretty often. The pliers come in handy the most, probably. I've used the scissors and screwdrivers pretty often too. Granted, I'm not using it as a survival tool. It's just a tool. I'm not expecting to rely on it in an emergency. It just has a bunch of tools that are handy to have at easy access.

I'd take a Barebones Hori Hori or a Cold Steel Spetznaz shovel over this prybar.
He is thinking weight !
Agreed. These jack of all trades master of none tools just seem gimmicky
@@bobstaurovsky3506 , The Cold Steel Spetznaz shovel is not that heavy and it is an effective defensive tool.
@@nikossurvivalYep, bayonet and folding shovel FTW. Dig in anywhere.
Knives are made for cutting. Shovels are made for digging, prybars are made to take abuse with a smile.

Reminds me of my DeWalt framers chisel....
Yeah, I have 3 cobalt chisels that look just like it but different sizes and a quarter of the price.
You should check out the Bahco Wrecking Knife, it comes either with chisel or curved blade.
Good information, I've read some of the comments, I have the EOD breacher bar , slightly smaller than this one but it has come in handy a few times in the last ten years, last use was opening a wooden ammo crate.

Looks cool will buy it cause im a Gear Nerd anyways✌️
Greetings from Vienna Austria ✌️

Well said
A Cat's Claw (nail puller) will work as a compact stand in for a crow bar in a pinch.
Carry a piece of conduit or black pipe to extend a cats paw and it’s almost as good as most crowbars 👍🏼
@@behindthespotlight7983 Good idea.
Crate hammer?
Oh yes, with this small bag you will surely survive every apocalypse.
That’s a very handy tool, thanks for sharing. That place does look apocalyptic, I know some places like that and I like hiking to them. Nice kit.
Yeah it’s fun to explore places like this
I carry a Kbar in the Get Home bag to use as my emergency knife and it's an awesome pry bar in an emergency.. I can open a can of food,..or pry open a door or window with it..
😂😂😂😂😂
It's a big ass chisel with a blade on the end and the side. I can make one of those from a chisel from Home Depot .
Odd tool but I could see it’s useful.
Thanks for the review. This is this something I would not use or need for all the things I have in my get home bag. Glad to see it was made in the USA.
Good review and kit , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Great video as always.
Love the channel, going to hit up CVS will let you know if the deal is in Washington state.
Hate to have to dig a foxhole with that tool !
That pry bar tool is very expensive in my opinion. Stay safe
Thanks
I imagine with how think that unit is it would be good to baton firewood with.
Legend has it that 1500 years ago people were waiting for the apocalypse, and an unknown number of generations later it seems, just like Sum41 we are still waiting…

Gotta 3 pack of cobalt chisels for 20 or 30 bucks and a pinch bar for 40 although one time I spent $200 on a tops M4X punisher knife.
For such a unique tool,what will it do that a overbuilt fixed blade wouldn't do? I feel like having a more acute point would be more useful.
It would probably do a better job at prying and surviving impacts than any knife. Knives are heat treated so they can hold an edge better, but that means they are harder and thus more brittle.

What is the weight of your kit
I'll just use my esse 5😊
To pry and break things?
😂😂I think they saw you coming with that tool. Better off with a good folding shovel.
It was sharper till you started digging and knapping
😂. Using a wood chisel to chisel rocks and then say you wish it had more of an edge. Hilarious. As soon as the digging started, I knew he hasn't had much experience with tools or in the woods. Funny to watch though. 😂

So you would pry open a door or smash a cider block with your knife???
@@ThePreparedWanderer I would pry a door if I had too. I don't really see a need to smash cinder blocks beside a destruction test.
In a shtf situation.... your gonna need to probably breach alot of metal doors....and I don't think this Rogan is going to be sufficient enough to do so.... for smaller tasks yes it'll be good... but I think having a larger breaching bar is worth carrying

Can’t pry with a knife you will break the tip. This is basically a pry bar that is capable of digging. Things I won’t do with my knife
That tool is useless in the woods.
😀😀C00l
EOD knock off. Never made to be a cutter, just a prybar. Saves your knife, but over all you'll get a lot more use from your knife than a prybar,
Do you have that in Portuguese? Do you want to translate it to Portuguese? I can do that, if you think it's necessary. The Portuguese language market for these types of survival issues is growing.
looks pretty useless out of the box, and is a big no-go for me. I like the Bag tho...

Don't prepp for the apocalypse. Prepp to get rapture.

Your "sharpened prybar" doesn't replace a knife and seems to me to have limited use in the real world.

Knife socks. The bag is good.but the Knife has no real purpose in my opinion. It need a real tip.
It’s not a knife it’s a pry bar
