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.
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.
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
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.
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!

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
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.
Just a friendly reminder. This is a family friendly channel and children read these comments. Please refrain from using even mild profanity as it will cause your comment to be blocked and we will not be able to engage in a dialogue. Thanks for you help! - Bryan
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
I watch a lot of videos like this and had zero expectations. I prefer build your own kits in a Altoids tin personally but this really blew me away with all of the neat stuff that appeared to actually work in such a tiny package. Great video!
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.
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.
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.
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. ;)
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.
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! 😂
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.
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!
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
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.
This kit is made by Coghlans, a Canadian company that makes reasonably priced outdoor gear. Try the camping section of Canadian Tire, Walmart, or any department store. They have a website too. My favorite product is the large tube of fire paste, works really well for damp conditions.
These are nice to give to a friend to keep in their glove box of their car. There are a lot of non-survivalist out there and this could help them out in a pinch. Yeah it's not TOP NOTCH gear, but it could help. Love the show Brother !
The ziplock bag could also be handy to keep your cell phone in while crossing rivers or streams until you find a signal, not to mention keeping the paper matches dry. The needle and thread could provide temporary emergency stitches to keep you from bleeding to death. A drop in blood sugar could result in fainting which could result in exposure to elements that might otherwise not occur, so the sugar is absolutely necessary.
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.
I honestly thought this was going to be a joke/prank video. But I have to say, the contents in that little can are a _heck_ of a lot better than nothing! Thanks for the video.
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.
I always carry my credit card knife with me and I will soon have a survival bracelet that has 3m paracord, compass, mini blade, whistle and a flint. These 2 items can save my life one day if I need to but they are also really cool to show to my friends
First time viewer. Even the lid can be utilized as a cutting tool. Awesome review of an item I would think is cheesy and not normally consider owning or making a part of my gear. We purchased a few and put one in each vehicle. Even put one in my day to say tool bag I carry around. Thanks I subscribed.
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.
The fishing line is also handy for stitching wounds up. The sugar, candy, and gum are for people who get low blood sugar to keep them from passing out and it also serves as comfort food which is handy in a stressful survival situation.
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
I bought this exact thing today at Sparr Supply Store. I've seen it in there for many weeks, and I finally broke down and bought it (it was unfortunately $18 here). I didn't want to open it up yet, so I checked it on RUclips to see if anybody has reviewed it. And here it is! 👍
It would be nice to have one in a mason jar, more room for stuff, and the jar works as a container for a lot of other things too. Might be able to diy it
Hi Brian. I also have that kit so thanks for the video. I haven't been able to test this in the wild yet, but the needle easily goes to lether and the sewing wire is strong indeed. The one thing I really want to test are the fishing hooks and if you indeed can use the sewing wire as a fishing wire.
You could use a nail to punch a hole through the can and tape to make the makeshift signaling mirror more accurate and the salt will replace lost electrolytes if you’re sweating.
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
Honestly seems like a great back up thing to carry if you have an empty pocket. If it's cold and wet and your matches are all wet a guaranteed dry matches and tinder and a little soup can really get your mindset back up
I imagine the thin blue cord that's pretty strong could be used for sutures too.and the Baggie is to keep everything in once out of the can,to keep it dry.
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.
I clicked this excited to see what a canned survival kit would look like. The sealed can makes sense to waterproof it, but it can't be resealed like other kits. Wish there were 2' of duct tape, that soup seems like the last thing I'd want in a survival situation, that salt would just further dehydrate you. Paper matches paired waterproof ones are great. Thread will work as fishing line or to sow up a bad cut and the brass wire would be great for traps. The whistle would be good to get attention of medics or rangers. I wonder if the compass will hold true North, if so that might be the best thing in the kit. The reflective tape would probably be best suited for a rigged lure. All in all thank you for this video, this is a pretty nifty survival kit.
Bryan; My complete survival kit only weighs 12-13 OZs and neither has an alcohol stove or fuel for it. It has an eyedropper bottle for unscented Clorine, about three little folding knives fire steels, emergency blanket, cotton balls and petroleum jelly to start fires. Quart zipper bag and condoms for emergency water storage. It has a strap to carry around my neck, and belt loop. 50 feet 550 cord. Hundred yard spool dental floss for my teeth, sewing thread, and backup cordage and much more.
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.
The candy can be used to get a dry mouth to producing saliva. I used hard candy quite often in Alaska, and other places while in the Infantry, just to keep my mouth moist. Does it replace proper hydration? Of course not. But in a pinch, it helps.
Thanks for another good review. Always wondered about these kits. Definitely better than I expected it to be, might be good to just throw in the glovebox & forget about.
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.

I have them sometimes, normally sitting on the bog so this one was special cos I was on the sofa!!!

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!

Looks pretty good. Maybe I can get one to review some time.
God i am suprised and impressed by this,at first i thought it was some gimmick but all in all not to shabby.Great video!
+Haneix It is better than I expected too.
+Haneix Right!? I was really impressed with how much useful stuff he pulled out of that little sardine can.

Thanks for the reply!

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.
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
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
But then it probably wouldn't be $13 anymore.
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.
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.
Honestly not bad for such a small can...
I agree
Better than the osis lol
thanks for the video- I might throw one of these in my glove box. good job, you've got a nice youtube channel

I don't appreciate being censored my friend, but that's your prerogative I suppose.
I think a resealable can would be more useful
Maybe that's what the bag is for if not just use it anyways
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
Mzrenegade i was kinda thinking to that too.....
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.
wow a lot of stuff in a little container
+Nathan Gilbert yep
+Nathan Gilbert I still don't think that the can has enough food for 24 hours... I reckon. Maybe I am a little too fat. :P
YES! That's what I Thought!
This goes with my other comment. 😀

Thanks. I appreciate it.
I thought he was going to say 'woah it's made in Canada! And the first ingredient is, Maple syrup!'
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.

+Orion It was better than expected.
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 like that your not just opening the kit but also trying it amd giving tips
Excellent Stump Top Review! Totally agree with your final thoughts as well!
***** Thanks JJ. Yeah, I think those are the big three as far as survival goes, for all environments.
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
Here I am, spending a pleasent evening after work watching your vids until bedtime.Regards
Don't strain your eyes ;-)
had one of these in my truck for years. always wondered what was in it. I have better now, but it was nice too see what it contained.
I'm glad it helped.
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.
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 ;-)
I'm not surely you knew but duct tape is also a great fire starter!
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.
Thanks Ulrica. I was pleasantly surprised
You better have about least 10 pairs of glasses in a survival situation. being near sighted is a crutch.
It's amazing that you still respond to the comments on this vid. Not many you tubers do that. You get an extra sub;)
Thanks. It's getting harder to keep up with but I try.
You could heat up the needle and bend it for a fishing hook.
Yep, you could do that
Matthew Szwagulinski yeah but the fish will slip off
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 ;-)
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.
+Isaac Schein Is there a battery in the kit?
'Wee gimmicky'
+Isaac Schein so will a flame thrower, also not included..

+Mike White Pretty tight in there
I think this kit is definitely worth the $10 or so. Good review.
Steve Sherron Thanks Steve. Yeah, it is surprisingly decent.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
This kit is made by Coghlans, a Canadian company that makes reasonably priced outdoor gear. Try the camping section of Canadian Tire, Walmart, or any department store. They have a website too. My favorite product is the large tube of fire paste, works really well for damp conditions.
Mary Cahill I saw one yesterday in an Academy Sports store here in Georgia. I haven't tried the fire paste.
I love Canadian tire
you can also use the can as a shoe or hat
+Bubba All righty then
the top cover could be also used as armor plate for bulletproof vest & the can could be used as an emergency boat.
Or you could always take a dump in it
These are nice to give to a friend to keep in their glove box of their car. There are a lot of non-survivalist out there and this could help them out in a pinch. Yeah it's not TOP NOTCH gear, but it could help. Love the show Brother !
+Shawn McBride Thanks
It also contains an inflatable raft if you call 1800-can
+Jared Perkins ;-)
Jared Perkins
cool
You did a really good job showing all the stuff in the little kit that helped me a lot
I'm glad it helped.
I want to see Survival By Accident, next.
And remember, survival is not on purpose
first video will be called "survival despite yourself" lol
Eric Bishton same
The ziplock bag could also be handy to keep your cell phone in while crossing rivers or streams until you find a signal, not to mention keeping the paper matches dry. The needle and thread could provide temporary emergency stitches to keep you from bleeding to death.

band aid and thread for stitching up finger after opening the can
Funny!
To be honest I learn a lot from you Brian you are a smart guy
Thanks Daniel
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.

I honestly thought this was going to be a joke/prank video. But I have to say, the contents in that little can are a _heck_ of a lot better than nothing! Thanks for the video.
I was a little surprised myself. Thanks for watching.
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.
.........
You are not British I can tell that much
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.
Tea can be used for a toothache, to stop itching and stinging etc. It has anti-inflammatory properties. Not to mention the caffeine boost.
I always carry my credit card knife with me and I will soon have a survival bracelet that has 3m paracord, compass, mini blade, whistle and a flint. These 2 items can save my life one day if I need to but they are also really cool to show to my friends
Yeah, I got one of those credit card knives and immediately cut the heck out of my finger .
and if you also use a trick candle to start a fire it won't blow out
If you have one
Good idea.
First time viewer. Even the lid can be utilized as a cutting tool. Awesome review of an item I would think is cheesy and not normally consider owning or making a part of my gear. We purchased a few and put one in each vehicle. Even put one in my day to say tool bag I carry around. Thanks I subscribed.
Can use the lid for a knife, save the packaging for fire starter.
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
I saw a zombie apocalypse one on the market, pretty cool.
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
The fishing line is also handy for stitching wounds up. The sugar, candy, and gum are for people who get low blood sugar to keep them from passing out and it also serves as comfort food which is handy in a stressful survival situation.
All true. The candy is still bad ;-)
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
Whats is the link
I did not know it would turn into a real link sorry.
one guy probably clicked the link
Americans and canned stuff...cool
It sent me straight to talktalk
I bought this exact thing today at Sparr Supply Store. I've seen it in there for many weeks, and I finally broke down and bought it (it was unfortunately $18 here). I didn't want to open it up yet, so I checked it on RUclips to see if anybody has reviewed it. And here it is! 👍
I'm glad it helped.
Did you find the fish hook?
Not yet ;-)
+Survival On Purpose Try a magnet tool?
@@SurvivalOnPurpose found it yet ?😂
you can use the tin lid as a cutting tool as well
EVERY THING IS CANNED NOW
In future we may also have canned kids
Or canned cans
Canned things.
Canned gun.
Canned gun.
Canned canned cans.
Canned iphone.
Canned gaming PC.
Canned house.
Canned reptilian brotherhood.
+Acid Biscuit isn't a canned gaming laptop just a normal gaming laptop?
No.
Its a canned gaming laptop.
Couse it was in a can.
It would be nice to have one in a mason jar, more room for stuff, and the jar works as a container for a lot of other things too. Might be able to diy it
This sure CAN save you JJAJAJAJJAJA PUN CITYYY
Pretty bad :-)
That's because we all live in pun city. all the good puns ARGON.
+GamerGab007 I did Nazi that coming.
hahaha. so PUNNY. LOL!
Willlovesbearz :D so Punoriginal... kill me now
Cool little set up for something cheap. That tin can be used as a bowl or cup for boiling water or cooking some food also
yep
They really stuffed that tin full
Indeed.
Hi Brian. I also have that kit so thanks for the video. I haven't been able to test this in the wild yet, but the needle easily goes to lether and the sewing wire is strong indeed. The one thing I really want to test are the fishing hooks and if you indeed can use the sewing wire as a fishing wire.
Good luck
i bet the bag was to put all of the stufe in after you open the can
+airsoftrevews That what I used it for.
cool :)
"Would I trust my life to this? Man, I'd hate to have to."
hahahha =D Well said. Good, honest review. ;)
Thanks Clint.
Uncle larry?
😂
thinking the same ;)^^^^
You could use a nail to punch a hole through the can and tape to make the makeshift signaling mirror more accurate and the salt will replace lost electrolytes if you’re sweating.
Indeed.
And you CAN open it easly :D
*sigh*
That was bad ;-)
I know ;-)
+Survival On Purpose OHHHHHHH rush him to the serious BURNS ward!!!
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
nice review thanks
+PLIER HYGEMES Thanks
Honestly seems like a great back up thing to carry if you have an empty pocket. If it's cold and wet and your matches are all wet a guaranteed dry matches and tinder and a little soup can really get your mindset back up
+Kyle B it certainly would not hurt
No water purification tablets minus 10 points.
Lol do you not know how to boil water?
+Da_Fisherman you can't always start a fire.
+Corvus ELO if you have sticks and rocks you can
I imagine the thin blue cord that's pretty strong could be used for sutures too.and the Baggie is to keep everything in once out of the can,to keep it dry.
Good points
oh my god i laughed so hard i woke up my wife and kids at 2 am when he said the candy was wrapped up tighter than dicks hat band lmfao
;-) Glad you likes that.

Survival On Purpose What happened to family friendly part?
All said and done, it's a nice bit of kit. It's great they can fit all that into a sardine tin!
I think they did a good job.
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
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
HOLA MI AMIGO gracias for taking the time for your presentation.very cool.for people that are not all that aware...gracias
I clicked this excited to see what a canned survival kit would look like. The sealed can makes sense to waterproof it, but it can't be resealed like other kits. Wish there were 2' of duct tape, that soup seems like the last thing I'd want in a survival situation, that salt would just further dehydrate you. Paper matches paired waterproof ones are great. Thread will work as fishing line or to sow up a bad cut and the brass wire would be great for traps. The whistle would be good to get attention of medics or rangers. I wonder if the compass will hold true North, if so that might be the best thing in the kit. The reflective tape would probably be best suited for a rigged lure.
All in all thank you for this video, this is a pretty nifty survival kit.
Thanks for watching.
Bryan;
My complete survival kit only weighs 12-13 OZs and neither has an alcohol stove or fuel for it. It has an eyedropper bottle for unscented Clorine, about three little folding knives fire steels, emergency blanket, cotton balls and petroleum jelly to start fires. Quart zipper bag and condoms for emergency water storage.
It has a strap to carry around my neck, and belt loop. 50 feet 550 cord. Hundred yard spool dental floss for my teeth, sewing thread, and backup cordage and much more.
MatoNupai Sounds like you are prepared.
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.
I remember when you posted this. Glad you're still going strong.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Thats a pretty good can, didnt expect it to have all those in one package. The candy can keep u goin for a couple of hours. Nice
better than nothing for sure
Well I wasn't wrong, these little kits always kinda disappoint but that's probably the best prepackaged kit I've seen.
Thanks!
Better than nothing
The candy can be used to get a dry mouth to producing saliva. I used hard candy quite often in Alaska, and other places while in the Infantry, just to keep my mouth moist. Does it replace proper hydration? Of course not. But in a pinch, it helps.
David Beasley And it is ever so yummy ;-)
"A good metal container on me at all time" That's a whiskey flask brother. lol
VERY informative and I like how you tested some of the items great video and thanks for posting!
+medeco locks Thanks for watching.
Thanks for another good review. Always wondered about these kits. Definitely better than I expected it to be, might be good to just throw in the glovebox & forget about.
Yeah it kind of surprised me too.
