someone should do a survival kit in a baked bean can, then you would have a decent size container for boiling water or cooking in, also the kit would be better as more room for things like a small knife & maybe a ration of some sort? Thanks for posting enjoyed your vid.
Ah that's great cheers bud! I knew someone would have made a bigger better type of can kit, shame about the coating on the inside of the can you could burn it out maybe? Thanks again!
+Haneix Right!? I was really impressed with how much useful stuff he pulled out of that little sardine can. Thinking of the moments where a little pack of sugar and tea would make the difference is chilling and interesting. Add in a simple fish hook and strong "multi purpose" chord / thread... well all I can say is someone put some thought into this. And I'm gonna go buy a few haha.
Survival On Purpose Maybe a sliver of magnesium of whatever they make those fire starters out of. Just enough of anything to make a spark so you can avoid having to go straight to sticks.
Prepper Potpourri Yep, that would be a big improvement, even just a plastic , snap on lid like comes on a peanut can. Just a way to keep everything together after you open it.
I bet from 5 years from right now there's gonna be a bunch of crazy canned crap... for example: Ferrari in a 9 foot can!!!!!! GET YOUR TODAY AT CANNEDCARS.COM
For $13 this can sure is packed... But i think i has some space... They could've put in a flint and a striker too and some aquatabs to clean water... And that kit will come in very handy
I knew a Canadian guy. He said they never went into the woods without Lipton's CupANoodle soup. In those days, it came in an envelope about the size of a little packet of sugar. He said it had zero nutritional value, but it made a warm drink. It was a morale booster, a comfort food.

Survival On Purpose one of the things you did not mention is that the lid of the cans if not already shiny enough could be scrubbed and used as a signal mirror
Survival On Purpose Is it possible to use the pencil, tin,paper,( nails?) to make a compass? all in all for its price and size it's better than nothing.
Impractical, Its a ICE kit anyway. It'l keep people from getting in to it unless you actually need it, and when youre done you just stick all the contents in the Bag

Brian, I have an idea. I call it the "medicine bag" survival kit. Native Americans have used neck pouches worn like necklaces around their necks, used like wallets in contemporary times, and historically, to hold medicinal plants/stones. The problem with many 10-piece kits, is they're often too bulky for what many wish to bring on day hikes, while the Altoids kits (and the mini-kits like the one in this video) although better than nothing, are inadequate. My idea is to hold a stainless steel flask bottle (1 1/2 cup capacity) in the "medicine bag" pouch. The bottle would look like a liquor flask, but wide-mouthed, curved (to have it rest snugly/comfortably against the sternum). It would be like an Altoids kit, but with superior ability to disinfect/contain water, and contain other better items due to its larger size/capacity. It could contain: a 16-ounce Platypus rolled-up, a Gerber mini-lock blade, a Bic mini-lighter, mylar blanket, parachute cord or bank line (or even smaller cord due to space constraints- i.e. dental floss), a Suunto button-compass, large needle/thread, mini-flashlight, duct tape and various other optional things (a small ferro rod, water-purification tablets, etc.). Some of the items could be held in slots or other pockets on the outside of the medicine bag. One principle that often gets overlooked is that while climbing, boating/kayaking/white-water rafting, or on other excursions- people can/do lose their packs. The plastic bags used in most Altoids kits are dangerously unreliable to continually contain water. Also, Altoids tins usually have insufficient space to contain a substantial cover element. One could argue that the back-up elements could be kept in pockets or on-person, but having these items attached to a person's belt, in pockets, around their wrists, is often bulky and cumbersome, and can result in frustrated people dumping everything into their packs. What is also cool about a medicine bag is that it acknowledges the rustic/traditional/primitive/Native American culture, yet still includes modern technology and Western culture. You could have someone make the bags (in America) or buy from a Native American company and then sell them with the bottles. Then, suggest via video things to make it an ideal back-up survival kit (which you could link to Amazon for the suggested contents). This would be an ideal Christmas gift! Let me know what you think...
+Jacob Scotti your name is my name but just with an extra i when I saw this comment that you put I was like "I don't remember doing that" but then I saw the i lol
Good video. I keep one in my life jacket as a last resort in case I end up losing all my gear (a real possibility if you're swimming to shore). Good to see what's actually in there! Thanks!
Another great video. Looks like a handy lil' kit to toss in my fishing kit or glove box in the wife's car. I'm very surprised there was no space or emergency blanket. What's up with that!! LOL!
Nice review... It would be helpful not to tear off the lid. Perhaps 50% or less _(15-20%)_ just enough to remove the contents, then boil tin almost vertically; that way the pull ring, can be used as a handle or hanging point for boiling.
It's always interesting to see what exactly is in these wee gimmicky kits... many are rubbish, toys at best, but some are good, if simple kit...Thanks for posting.
That's not bad at all. You could stick it in your general bag with your tarps and solar blanket and normal cordage, I tend to look for birch bark whenever I am out and pine resin and little dry pine branches and cones also certain fungi for tinder. But this was pleasantly surprising. I have a home made waterproof box with all or most of the stuff (I tend to take all in one coffe, milk & sugar sachets and make pine needle tea and that) but it had nearly everything I have in my box. A backup kit that fits in a pocket would be handy.
Interesting kit, Bryan. Too bad it isn't in an altoid tin to make char cloth. Well, I guess the salt may be good for you, in a survival situation. The bottom of a soda can (found trash) would make a better flash than what's includedI know to not buy it (big smile). Thanks for reviewing; your encouragement to learn about survival tools and develop skills.
KennethKramm Thanks Ken. Yes, it definitely has room for improvement but it was really better than I expected. Although I have to say, I still think the most important survival kit is between your ears.
I don't like it, it's kind of full of rubbish. The single edge razor blade is useable and the safety pins and thread and needle. Generally it just seems like they didn't have much imagination when they designed that kit. It's probably better if people make up their own survival kits rather than buy a pre made kit.
Remove the plastic from the lid. It can be used as a small frying pan or signaling device. The gum and candy is for keeping saliva flowing so your mouth doesn't dry out. If you add a small magnet you can use the twist tie and thread to make a compass more accurate than most mini compasses. The nails (may have 1000 uses) must can be most useful to make a spear or fishing gig or blow gun darts. As you said, it's better than nothing, but I've seen better home made kits.
Hi Brian, always wondered how good that tin is. Thank you for showing all the items and trying some of them out. I prefer a kit I put together my self, but it was some good ideas in there, and yes, better then nothing.
I make sure that I have all the items I need for survival if in the forest or an emergency in my backpack already. All I have to do is fill my canteens with water and put my food in the pack to make sure I have my backup knife in my pack, and my primary knife on my utility belt. A kit like that one you have is a waste of money in my opinion.
My dad kept these brand of tins for years. Personally, I’d rather have one that included a knife, ferro rod, and a lid. This would only be a last resort resource, but definitely not my first choice.
broth cubes are incredibly underrated for survival kits you need electrolytes and sodium can provide that and besides it would be a moral boost to have a nice cup of beef broth and worm soup
Jonah Brown I haven't read all! the replays soprobaly exerybody already talked you for this but tea is really good for you and depending on what the tea is made with it can help healing and other stuff.
Like you, I'm surprised how much useful stuff they crammed in that little can. I'd like to also add that it's surprising what a nice little (or even large) survival kit that you can put together at the "Dollar Tree", "$0.99 Store", or similar!! There's really no reason why anybody can't put together a survival kit. Even stuff from these $1 stores beats the heck out of nothing at all!!
Interesting. Some of these items I would have never considered for such a kit. Why a chord and thread? Why paper matches and strike anywhere wood matches? And, if there are nails, why not include a couple of push-tacks? The size of the kit will make a great gift for the out-doors-man. Great review. Ty.
Hi Bryan: Much better than expected, and deffinately better than many at least two other pre made survival kits I have seen recently. I must admit I was surprised when the match lit up and one of the fire starters worked. If I had an empty can out there I would put the reflective tape on the bottom of the can. It would do two things for you. a. Steady place for a mirror. b. Concave bottom would give you a parabolic fire starter when matches run out. I was actually impressed. Deffinately worth keeping in a pocket or glove box. I agree with you conpletely about keeping
Stumbled across your channel. (More specifically this video, But after watching I've subscribed.) And I've got to say I was actually impressed with the amount of tools and items you pulled out of such a small can. I think simply the fact that it is pocket sized and a sealed, steel container would make it a great additional to any survival kit. Loved the video. Keep them coming.
Bruce Bones I was pleasantly surprised myself. I still would hate to have to trust my life to it but it would be way better than nothing. And thanks for subscribing.
List of things I would add: A long strip of cord. A box of matches. A whistle. A plastic bag. (for waterproof wood collecting!) And some other goodies! 😂
the gum and candy are in there for the same reason they are in military MRE. Keeps hope up, dont know why it works, but it does. the only thing missing is a ziplock bag to repack it all.
The razor blade could be used to make some kindling to help start a fire, while that little kit doesn't have everything you could need I could see where it would be useful. It's really not so much what you have as much as how you use it.
Just stumbled across this review and was glad to see it. I've had one of these survival kits in a can for years and never got around to opening it up to see all what was in it. Like you, I was pleasantly surprised at all the goodies in it. That thread/fishing line... did not expect that to hold up to the pull test. I just might have to go get new one to toss in my glove box. I don't think my 10 year old candy and gum will have held up, but you never know. ;)
That's a handy little kit. I might buy it to add to my emergency go bag. It's not everything you need but it's compact and has a lot of great filler items.
Survival on Purpose sounds like the complete opposite of my life ...I Survive by pure Accident lol I actually am pretty good at outdoor survival in the forest or mountains but day to day, in London well if I thought about it too hard I might get hypertension! I think the not thinking is the reason I have survived as long as I have. Anyway off to watch your video. I do like to challenge myself in natural surroundings so this looks pretty interesting.
Survival On Purpose I think I replied to another of your replies and apologised for sounding facetious, I gave you the general idea of what drivers are like (I'm Tube-Phobic as if its busy, just as the tubes pull in everyone kinda pushes forward and that really creeps me out there's no barrier just a painted yellow line which the loudspeaker says every couple of minutes "Please do not cross the Yellow line until the train is stationery" and "Mind the Gap" (which people have fallen down, un-noticed and been killed! ) you come out filthy if you use the Underground and the black muck that comes out of your hair. .even if freshly washed beforehand, is horrible. Yup on second thoughts, the sooner I get back to Scotland (hey did you see the exploding Meteor right between Aberdeen and Inverness ...aka our place lol! I would have had a cow!! )
This kit was the first one I purchase several years ago, and it was interesting to see all the items out and being used, thank you. I agree totally with your assessment.
good for an emergency backup because it is small. but I think a better option is a kit like this that is in a water tight plastic container that you can reseal... so you can keep items secure/dry after opening, especially when you are on the move.
Hey FYI for all the negative souls that posted some kind of negative comment here you go. It's $36.00 from Blackthorn. But I'm sure you will find something negative to say about this one too. blackthorn-usa.com/product/wilderness-pocket-survival-kit/
I hope for your sake it wasn't fart candy. Eeeww! I'd think a packet of Tang, coffee single, or vitamin drink would be better than the broth mix. Thanks for the review. 👍🖖

They did think it through pretty well. I would rally like to see a small Bic lighter but even that takes up a lot of room in so small a tin.
Survival On Purpose Maybe a sliver of magnesium of whatever they make those fire starters out of. Just enough of anything to make a spark so you can avoid having to go straight to sticks.
Honestly not bad for such a small can...
I agree
Better than the osis lol
You can also bend the lid and turn it into a spoon
+lachlan dent and cut your tongue?
+Hunter Chesley rub the edge on a rock to flatten it
+lachlan dent And with a nice silver chain and the right hand bag it makes a very pretty outfit for an evening...
Or carry a lightweight spoon to save your tongue from getting shredded.
***** Too much effort when you're trying to survive.
The kit was better than I thought. Too bad it doesn't have a reusable lid instead of a pull tab lid.
Prepper Potpourri Yep, that would be a big improvement, even just a plastic , snap on lid like comes on a peanut can. Just a way to keep everything together after you open it.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose well, you can use that plastic bag to store the items
Prepper Potpourri or sardines for that matter.
Well, I think the fact that is well sealed is is good, but adding an additional reusable lid would add value.

I don't appreciate being censored my friend, but that's your prerogative I suppose.
I think a resealable can would be more useful

Impractical, Its a ICE kit anyway. It'l keep people from getting in to it unless you actually need it, and when youre done you just stick all the contents in the Bag

Ok when you open the can you put everything in the bag so you can use the can for cooking
The can can be used as a bowl to eat out of.

Good video. I keep one in my life jacket as a last resort in case I end up losing all my gear (a real possibility if you're swimming to shore). Good to see what's actually in there! Thanks!
when it comes to fire starting i much prefrer a flint em steel over matches
Matches are smaller so they can fit in the can
I agree flint and steel last way longer and are way more reliable than just a few matches. Plus you can always use the back of your knife
I believe the plastic bag is intended for keeping everything dry once you open the container.
+Bill Westlund It would work for that for sure.
+Bill Westlund Yeah, dry, and to keep everything in one place. Lots of small items there, would be handy to keep it in one bag.
Bill Westlund oh yeah your smart

No reflective survival blanket, water purification tabs? Cub scouts are better equip..
Where do u get the cub scouts one
its for survival not comfort
+wardog he need some stuff to feel safe and comfortable tho
Do the cub scouts gear fit in a tin? It's not meant to be a stand alone 72 hour kit
Thats when your buschcraft skills come in.
band aid and thread for stitching up finger after opening the can
Funny!
Once again Cougheland scores. It is only meant as a very late back-up
I think the ziplock bag is in it so when you open the survival can once you can pack the stuff back in the ziplock bag so its waterproof again!
+.Teemz' could be
"A good metal container on me at all time" That's a whiskey flask brother. lol
i bet the bag was to put all of the stufe in after you open the can

i keep nails in my survival kit
poorsurvialest Good idea.
poorsurvialest nails come in handy for marking trails. Permanent shelter. I’ve used nails to split wood because it’s all I had
What's the candy made of ? Mostly sugar, I surmise. That could give you an edge for proper blood sugar level.
Chewing gum can be used for tension and stress. Also, the main ingredient in any gum is used for patching material AND explosives.
Jessyca Adams Good point.
My dad kept these brand of tins for years. Personally, I’d rather have one that included a knife, ferro rod, and a lid. This would only be a last resort resource, but definitely not my first choice.
And you CAN open it easly :D

+Survival On Purpose OHHHHHHH rush him to the serious BURNS ward!!!
I watched this video when I was 10 and this mans voice was very calming and relaxing and it happened to be one of my very first Introductions to asmr
The gum and the Hard candy is for chewing and licking. When you do so it keeps your saliva up and running so you don't get thirsty as often
I guess. I just wish the candy was better
+Survival On Purpose can you make a video of you eating the chicken bouyon soup? it made me hungry :p
Its probably also for keeping ur mind of the stress to make u kinda forget or calm u down and somewhat make u feel lile ur just in a normal area
I agree, more for the mental state.
Yea. Protiens need more water within the body to be processed. Carbs and sugar provide quick energy without costing much to the body.
broth cubes are incredibly underrated for survival kits
you need electrolytes and sodium can provide that
and besides it would be a moral boost to have a nice cup of beef broth and worm soup
BECAUSE TEA IS REALLY NEEDED FOR SURVIVAL
Actually, tea is a comfort food or drink for many people, and can provide a morale boost or be calming.

I guess zombies just sell right now.
Survival On Purpose I dont know what either of you think, but im about sick as can be of all the zombie crap
u poke a hole through the reflective material in the center and use it as a sight hole....is how it works
nice review thanks
+PLIER HYGEMES Thanks
Like you, I'm surprised how much useful stuff they crammed in that little can. I'd like to also add that it's surprising what a nice little (or even large) survival kit that you can put together at the "Dollar Tree", "$0.99 Store", or similar!! There's really no reason why anybody can't put together a survival kit. Even stuff from these $1 stores beats the heck out of nothing at all!!
+Roger Smith Cool idea.
Did you find the fish hook?
Not yet ;-)
+Survival On Purpose Try a magnet tool?
@@SurvivalOnPurpose found it yet ?😂
Interesting. Some of these items I would have never considered for such a kit. Why a chord and thread? Why paper matches and strike anywhere wood matches? And, if there are nails, why not include a couple of push-tacks? The size of the kit will make a great gift for the out-doors-man. Great review. Ty.
Thanks
Hi Bryan:
Much better than expected, and deffinately better than many at least two other pre made survival kits I have seen recently.
I must admit I was surprised when the match lit up and one of the fire starters worked.
If I had an empty can out there I would put the reflective tape on the bottom of the can. It would do two things for you.
a. Steady place for a mirror.
b. Concave bottom would give you a parabolic fire starter when matches run out.
I was actually impressed. Deffinately worth keeping in a pocket or glove box.
I agree with you conpletely about keeping
MatoNupai I was honestly fairly impressed with this little kit, especially for something that probably came from Walmart.
"Would I trust my life to this? Man, I'd hate to have to."
hahahha =D Well said. Good, honest review. ;)
Thanks Clint.
Stumbled across your channel. (More specifically this video, But after watching I've subscribed.) And I've got to say I was actually impressed with the amount of tools and items you pulled out of such a small can. I think simply the fact that it is pocket sized and a sealed, steel container would make it a great additional to any survival kit. Loved the video. Keep them coming.
Bruce Bones I was pleasantly surprised myself. I still would hate to have to trust my life to it but it would be way better than nothing. And thanks for subscribing.
I think this kit is definitely worth the $10 or so. Good review.
Steve Sherron Thanks Steve. Yeah, it is surprisingly decent.
List of things I would add:
A long strip of cord.
A box of matches.
A whistle.
A plastic bag. (for waterproof wood collecting!)
And some other goodies! 😂
All righty then ;-)
me: ima save this for an appocalypse
Him: *opens tin, appocalypse strikes, he low on supplies*
the gum and candy are in there for the same reason they are in military MRE.
Keeps hope up, dont know why it works, but it does.
the only thing missing is a ziplock bag to repack it all.
+samljer yep
The razor blade could be used to make some kindling to help start a fire, while that little kit doesn't have everything you could need I could see where it would be useful. It's really not so much what you have as much as how you use it.
I was not as disappointed as I expected to be
Man you look like Eric Clapton!
Really?
positive....
I wish I could play like him ;-)
You doing a great job in your field....
Just stumbled across this review and was glad to see it. I've had one of these survival kits in a can for years and never got around to opening it up to see all what was in it. Like you, I was pleasantly surprised at all the goodies in it. That thread/fishing line... did not expect that to hold up to the pull test. I just might have to go get new one to toss in my glove box. I don't think my 10 year old candy and gum will have held up, but you never know. ;)
I would not test the candy. Trust me on that ;-)
That's a handy little kit. I might buy it to add to my emergency go bag. It's not everything you need but it's compact and has a lot of great filler items.
edIt is surprisingly not too bad
I like that your not just opening the kit but also trying it amd giving tips
I am impressed with the contents. I always wondered what was in the can. I will be picking up a couple of these
I'm glad it helped.
Survival on Purpose sounds like the complete opposite of my life ...I Survive by pure Accident lol I actually am pretty good at outdoor survival in the forest or mountains but day to day, in London well if I thought about it too hard I might get hypertension! I think the not thinking is the reason I have survived as long as I have. Anyway off to watch your video. I do like to challenge myself in natural surroundings so this looks pretty interesting.
+Anne Anderson (Foxiepaws) I have heard that London can be a challenge.
Survival On Purpose I think I replied to another of your replies and apologised for sounding facetious, I gave you the general idea of what drivers are like (I'm Tube-Phobic as if its busy, just as the tubes pull in everyone kinda pushes forward and that really creeps me out there's no barrier just a painted yellow line which the loudspeaker says every couple of minutes "Please do not cross the Yellow line until the train is stationery" and "Mind the Gap" (which people have fallen down, un-noticed and been killed! ) you come out filthy if you use the Underground and the black muck that comes out of your hair. .even if freshly washed beforehand, is horrible. Yup on second thoughts, the sooner I get back to Scotland (hey did you see the exploding Meteor right between Aberdeen and Inverness ...aka our place lol! I would have had a cow!! )
This kit was the first one I purchase several years ago, and it was interesting to see all the items out and being used, thank you. I agree totally with your assessment.
+Orion It was better than expected.
Where could I buy that
survival for what? zombies?
;-)
good for an emergency backup because it is small. but I think a better option is a kit like this that is in a water tight plastic container that you can reseal... so you can keep items secure/dry after opening, especially when you are on the move.
Also, you could probably use the can as a pot/pan
yep
Here in 2024
In my opinion I think this item is not worth 10 dollars.
+Eric Pelky ok
GREAT Stuff
Next: *tent in a can*
*fire a can*
**CAN IN A CAN**
Theres a sleeping bag in a can
Not bad.
Dont Eat The Fire Starter
Indeed.
Survival On Purpose
I couldnt stop laughing when it happend LOL
he doesn't want to admit it but this is one handy little tin can.
Better than nothing.
It’s sad how much the price has changed since the filming of this video currently on July 24, 2021 this kit runs for $31.10 on Amazon
Hey FYI for all the negative souls that posted some kind of negative comment here you go. It's $36.00 from Blackthorn. But I'm sure you will find something negative to say about this one too.

HOLA MI AMIGO gracias for taking the time for your presentation.very cool.for people that are not all that aware...gracias
I hope for your sake it wasn't fart candy. Eeeww!
I'd think a packet of Tang, coffee single, or vitamin drink would be better than the broth mix.
Thanks for the review. 👍🖖
