I was going for Compass but you all ready carry it on your wrist watch Belt . So I am suggesting = small First aid kit , Sharping stone , water purification tab, small Pen & Not book , Walking beeds. Small fishing kit
Great video content! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you heard about - Saankramer Land Protection System (probably on Google)? It is an awesome one off product for Learning how to survive following a crisis without the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my good mate called Gray after a lifetime of fighting got excellent success with it.
Hi Brian! I set up an Orca survival pouch and have pretty much the same items plus water purification tablets/neutralizers, fishing kit with hooks, small stick floats that glow, and 50ft mini spool of 3# test line. The first aid kit includes the usual bandaids, dressings, bandanna, 12 inches of 1 inch gorilla tape, moleskin, 8 ibuprophen, small bandage scissors, and a tick removal tool by UST. A UST kit has all-in-one compass, whistle, stormproof matches w/striker and a mini ferro rod on the side. An Ozark Trail poncho in a 3.5 X 5.5 inch zip-loc pouch, can be used as an emergency shelter along with the Tact Bivy in an emergency. My water collection pouch is a 1gl freezer bag with double lock. There's also a write in the rain notepad inside the pouch with a pen on the outside of the bag along with a Gunmaster pen light secured in front side molle's. The Orca is mounted on the side molle's of my assault pack. What I love about the Orca is its quality for a $15 pouch is outstanding. The color is a coyote camo and came with a red cross Velcro patch. I added my blood type and a NKDA, no known drug allergies, patches. Just above the molle attachment straps are D-rings allowing me to detach the pouch and use 550 to use as shoulder strap should I want to leave camp and explore.
... Kit's can be fun .. and as you said ,personal ... Agree with your top 3 ,, #4 ,, basic first aid 3-4 band-aids , small roll of gauze ,, few alcohol wipes .....Take out the multi tool ( 50 years of camping and backpacking and never needed even once) ,, and Change out the knife for a smaller one ,, standard Boy Scout model or basic Swiss Victorinox ... which gives back a few of the multi tool features ...
I own one of Malcolm's Haversacks... I was on the fence about it for a while, but after I purchased it, it was worth every penny. It's a good piece of kit.
the whole way through i was waiting for a compass that didn't appear. you certainly have a lot of ways to get a fire going, I usually stop with a decent lighter, ferro rod and vaseline cotton balls. always good to visit your channel, i could listen to you all day long with your pleasant attitude to things.
For wound closure you can put a strip of duct tape on either side of the wound with a portion of it folded back on itself to create a tab. You then sew through the tabs on either side of the wound and pull it closed.
@@SurvivalOnPurpose The goal is to close the wound with the least amount of intrusions from outside elements. Tape could add bacteria but the real reason you do it this way is as a temporary way of closing it without pain killing injections. Sewing through tape doesn't hurt.
Great pack, Brian. I'd say a first-aid kit and a compass would fill your needs. You do a have a compass on your watch band, probably get you home. Thanks.
Hi Brian, As others have already mentioned you are missing the compass from the 10 Cs. There is room for a space blanket and that can also be a container for water, multi use item. On your Leatherman sheath, look under the flap. You can slip several T-pins under the velcro on the flap and several safety pins under the velcro on the sheath. Maybe the pins don't fit the "survival" mindset, but they are very handy to have a times. They are with your Leatherman and you can forget about them, until you need them.
Chapstick .. extend the chapstick out a little ways . Fish a piece of string in center .. and you've got a candle! .. you can also take a piece of cotton... Cloth or cotton itself .. and get the Chapstick soaked into it and make your own fire starter
Nice emergency kit. You may want to consider putting in a robust wire saw. Although they can be fragile if overheated, they can do some light work in an emergency.
You have your compass with you but you are missing a container to boil water or cook food. These zip log bags are not reliable enough IMO. Good to see you have many whistles. I would still suggest a full size compass with mirror to replace that signal mirror. What I do miss is 'Care'. Some medication and some first aid kit. You could just add tampons and cutting them halfway open lengthwise and tape on the wounded area with the duckttape really makes a good field dressing of deep cuts. I would suggest some zip ties. This pack/pouch seems nice but I suggest using a large fanny pack for it. That way you have the pouch and a belt to attach more stuff you might need or want. I have some fishing hooks in my survival tin. I tape them to transparant tape and double that up so you get a nice strip of some different size fishing hooks. You only take out the hook you need for that moment and you already have the fishing line. I have my fishing line on a spool used in sewing machines so I can carry a lot of fishing line inside my survival tin that I also use to make char cloth if needed. But overall an good survival pouch.
Cordage was there, hard to fit a decent container in a pouch, But the Compass was the missing C. Although I do always wear a Suunto Clipper on my watchband
Add a compass and a stainless steel container large enough to put the whole thing into it.That way you can keep on track and have something substantial to collect and boil water as well as to cook in. Add fish hooks and some slit shot sinkers to the duct tap thing so you can procure food.
Not about the kit so much as a thank you for your time and effort on behalf of all the dads who can't get to scout camp. It does not go unnoticed even if it goes unspoken.
_The _*_"Versa Flow"_*_ and the _*_"Hydro Blue"_*_ water filter is my choice for water purification. The filter has very good flow and a "Carbon" section (no back wash required). Good pick on your part my good man._
This is good and all, but what use will a survival kit do you if it's not small enough to carry around? Or at least if it's not in something you wear? I took a 2 oz tobacco tin and put a nice survival kit together. It has 1 Jet Scream whistle; 1 tube potassium permanganate, tube (3" x 1/4" dia); 25 yd disposable bobbin of T9 sewing thread; 1 ferro rod (4" x 3/8"); 1 Photon Microlite torch & diffuser bulb; 2 wire saws; 2 D8 finishing nails; 50' #10 fishing line; 5 #4, #6, and #8 fishing hooks; a #13 sail needle; a #18 darning needle; 1 Sun mini orientating compass; 10 #1 and #2 safety pins; an SOL Rescue ; Flash heliograph; wax soaked jute rope (4" x 1/4"); 8 lifeboat matches; cotton wool packing. The seam is sealed with vinyl tape to keep it shower proof. I also carry two SOL survival blankets, two 50 gal drum liners, a 400' spool of micro cord, a 1/2 x 6 ferro rod, a 10 oz hatchet head, and half a dozen round makeup pads dipped in wax in my vest. For a knife I carry a Cold Steel Finn Wolf. If you can't make a shelter with that and a wire saw, you have problems.
you could hang a compass off one of those zipper pulls, I also like to keep a few basic first aid items like a few bandages and alcohol pads and hand sanitizer
Great video and a well made pouch ! There is no such thing as redundancy when it comes to ways to make a fire ;) Missing is a canvas needle , compass and for me a small jar of Bustelo ! :) C is for coffee that good enough for me !
Sorry Bryan , I didn't catch it till the third time through ;) The ripspool is another must have from a great company ! That needle qualifies in my book !
I saw that someone already mentioned that you did not have a compass. Sunto (sp?) makes a small one that could easily fit in the pouch or on a cord around your neck. You have the bivy, but I would also try to get some overhead cover. A poncho tarp, Snugpak Stasha or a small tarp from Etowah Outfitters may fit.
UST makes some quality products at great prices. You can get them at Walmart also, so no shipping/waiting. That CS knife is perfect for a kit that size. I would be confident going into the woods with your kit. Nice job and review. One thing though, where do you put that big piece of fatwood you use in many of your videos. Is there a side pocket? LOL I love me some fatwood. Mery Christmas Brian! PS" The Hidden Woodsman is the bomb for pouches and kits.
Leave half of the fire starter stuff and carry a small sealed tin with cotton balls saturated with petroleum jelly. I'd add a high quality thin nylon tarp with grommets. Instead of the 2nd flash (head) light, I'd pack extra batteries for the one flashlight. I'd pack more cord than you have. I'd add iodine pills for sterilization of water and with a folding (flat) metal cup. Aluminum foil is unreliable. I have a stick match holder/whistle/compass that I'd pack.
Awesome kit, Brian! It's very similar to the one I put together based on the 10 C's. I'd love for you to check it out and give me your thoughts. I, too, love putting these kits together and has become one of my favorite things to do for friends and family as well. Keep up the excellent work, brother! 👊🔥
Bryan, I would recommend you put a sheet of the really thick heavy-duty Aluminum foil vs the normal thickness. I've tried to make a container out of the thinner Aluminum foil. the fire burned through it. but not the really thick stuff.
+ 1 for a compass, so what if you have one on your wrist - I bet you have a blade in your pocket to go with the 2 in the pack! I use mine more than anything else in the woods) And + 1 for fish hooks, plenty of space for this in the pack.
The "C" that is not in the kit is a Compass, but as you already hinted, you always have on on your wrist anyway. Nice vid though! You surprised me with the duct tape and sail needle. I was going to bust you and claim you were missing 2 "C's" but at the last minute, BOOM there they were!
your missing fishing hooks, maybe pole tips, snare wire, a saw blade, limited medicine/pain killers, disinfectant, soap and something to use as toilet paper, also some sort of small cooking container.
How often should you go through your gear and make sure it's all up to date.?. Please let me know. I really like your videos and I learn a lot from you. Thank you.
Good kit. You won't go far wrong with that. I would defintly have a compact collapsible non plastic shopping style bag and probably loose the LM Signal for a swiss army knife soldier/treckker or simlilar and have a mora mishmetal ferro rod. Defintly keep the lighter with ranger bands wrapped under the button to stop accidental gas release. You should also have a 2nd good reliable small compass in threre, Silva do one ( i know you would probably be ok cos you have 1 on your watch anyway🖒) no pen or paper to keep a log of steps and compass bearing? Come on man. Some Leuko tape (stick it on as soon as you feel that hot spot on on your foot, guatenteed no blisters, keeps you movin' my friend instead of of duct tape or a bit of both as you need to get back to safety asap. Maybe doin' a lot of walking, hopefully no leg injury involved eh! Love the show. It's always easier to comment on other peoples business looking in from outside in and it takes a lot of guts putting it out there in the first place so Brian you have my respect and everyones imput as you know will quite offenly be slightly different. Thanks
I feel headlamps are a hands-free upgrade from a flashlight. Otherwise, it's all personal choice of what you prefer to have to make in the field or substitute for. The REAL reason the "one tool" knife option came to be is many of us have awesome e.d.c. that gets left in a truck and all we had WAS our knife and whatever we could grab at a dead run. Not Rambo just reality.
NICE JOB....you might want just a couple of bandaids ....just because I like having them about “on the spot”... over all one of the best I have seen and really like your haversack wisdom...great job. And maybe a razor blade....(maybe). :>
everything in there was a great choice. I wonder however what additional items you could have included if you weren't so redundant. Maybe some food instead of the larger water filter and 4 ways of making a fire? Snares? Gear repair items? Canteen cup? Also, please tell me I just have ADD and you didn't forget a compass.
Hi Bryan been noticing the whistle around your neck (howler?) but of course thats the point of hi-vis. wondering if its there in its survival capacity or a 'get your butts over here' capacity, probably both, 2 is 1 etc ATB Bill
I always carry a GAT ferro rod with tungsten sharpener, cheap hotel ballpoint pen wrapped with Gorilla tape (think "Bic"-type from Marriott, etc), a pair of cheap pliers, some 550 rope, a chap stick (absolutely fantastic fire starter aid) and two heavy duty, large "lawn bags". Domestically (not flying), always a heavy-duty folding knife,.Over the pond, a pair of EMS shears. Been over the pond on numerous occasions (4?) with this exact setup (minus folding knife). Braced once by TSA in Albuquerque ("What is that cylindrical metal item?" It looks like a sharpener) "For sharpening fishhooks and kitchen knives, I am a cook" "OK". Once coming back from Paris "What is this? "It is a fishhook sharpener, Sir" "OK , have a good flight". The other items? No interest. Just my .2c. Cheers
Suggestion for your Scouts - lots of people have old computers laying around. If your Scouts need signal mirrors, they could offer to take the old hard drives out and take them apart to protect their friends/family from data theft. Inside a standard magnetic drive are 2 mirrored plates (where the data is stored) about 3.5" diameter and really strong magnets. Good for any survival kit.
Perfect, i was first thinking switch out the flashlight to a headlamp. But in minute 13 the headlamp was shown haha. soo, becouse i am picky i would take away one of the water filter and put in a good compass. I know u are good at orientering Bryan but what happens if you must give that pouch to someone else? Anyway good video and have you a nice midsummer.
I like having a lot of cordage that has almost zero bulk and negligent weight. Deep sea braided fishing line. I notch an expired credit card so it can't slip off and then just wind it on.
Nice kit, as for what's missing I find it more personal preference in gear what works for me may not for you so how could anyone tell you you need this or that. You could boil water with rocks all be it not the best choice but it could be done so then are rocks missing I'm guessing you get the point.
a proper compass because the ones on watches are not always reliable and if you have on a ring or bracelet it will throw off your reading and remember if you are walking to a specific target meaning place or person or persons and you are off even a little you can wander as far as potentially a mile or a few miles or even many miles away from your intended goal so you need a good solid reliable compass I recommend a military issue because of how reliable and durable they are and a few maps topographical are my preferred maps of places and sites you are around but maybe not as used to because survival is not always possible in one fixed position no question a first aid kit IF your not carrying one elsewhere
Dude that is one seriously complete kit. I can't believe you fit all of that in there. I half expected to see a box of Clif bars come out.
No navigation, no first aid with a needle and tread, no food acquisition and too much fire. Always fun watching you. Thanks brother.
Too much fire? Is that even possible?
Those tents bring back memories I got my Eagle Scout in 08
I was going for Compass but you all ready carry it on your wrist watch Belt . So I am suggesting = small First aid kit , Sharping stone , water purification tab, small Pen & Not book , Walking beeds. Small fishing kit
On my wrist is not in the kit ;-) Great ideas.
Good choices..God bless you.

I would add a 55gal construction bag, suunto compass, sail needle, and a lipstick size Anker charger... and salsa😂😂😂 great video
Thanks.
... Kit's can be fun .. and as you said ,personal ... Agree with your top 3 ,, #4 ,, basic first aid 3-4 band-aids , small roll of gauze ,, few alcohol wipes .....Take out the multi tool ( 50 years of camping and backpacking and never needed even once) ,, and Change out the knife for a smaller one ,, standard Boy Scout model or basic Swiss Victorinox ... which gives back a few of the multi tool features ...
Great kit! Malcolm makes some excellent quality gear. I really want the day ruck he makes. Thanks for the video Brian.
Yes he does
I own one of Malcolm's Haversacks... I was on the fence about it for a while, but after I purchased it, it was worth every penny. It's a good piece of kit.
For sure
the whole way through i was waiting for a compass that didn't appear. you certainly have a lot of ways to get a fire going, I usually stop with a decent lighter, ferro rod and vaseline cotton balls. always good to visit your channel, i could listen to you all day long with your pleasant attitude to things.
Yep, The only compass was the one on my wrist.
I see these...
Cotton bandana
Combustion (ferro rod, tinder tab)
Candling device (flashlight)
Container (ziploc)
Cordage (bankline)
Cutting tool (knife)
Cover (space blanket)
Communication (signal mirror, whistle)
Canvas needle
Cargo tape
For wound closure you can put a strip of duct tape on either side of the wound with a portion of it folded back on itself to create a tab. You then sew through the tabs on either side of the wound and pull it closed.
Cool idea. Why not just tape the wound?
@@SurvivalOnPurpose The goal is to close the wound with the least amount of intrusions from outside elements. Tape could add bacteria but the real reason you do it this way is as a temporary way of closing it without pain killing injections. Sewing through tape doesn't hurt.
Nice video thanks for sharing. Only thing I'd probably add is a small emergency compass. The ripspool is already on order.
You guessed it. Although I do have a Compas on my wrist watch
Great pack, Brian. I'd say a first-aid kit and a compass would fill your needs. You do a have a compass on your watch band, probably get you home. Thanks.
Yep, but that was the missing C
*Fish hooks* to go with sewing/fishing line! oh... and COFFEE!
thanks
I saw the needle, I haven't found very many that will actually make a good fish hook... they always seem to break.
Coffee is one of the 10 C's of survival isn't it?
Brain, The only thing I didnt see was something for cover. Great info always.
Hi Brian, As others have already mentioned you are missing the compass from the 10 Cs. There is room for a space blanket and that can also be a container for water, multi use item.

Chapstick .. extend the chapstick out a little ways . Fish a piece of string in center .. and you've got a candle! .. you can also take a piece of cotton... Cloth or cotton itself .. and get the Chapstick soaked into it and make your own fire starter
It that is not the missing item. Although I did have one on my watch and.
Nice emergency kit. You may want to consider putting in a robust wire saw. Although they can be fragile if overheated, they can do some light work in an emergency.
Thanks
You have your compass with you but you are missing a container to boil water or cook food. These zip log bags are not reliable enough IMO. Good to see you have many whistles. I would still suggest a full size compass with mirror to replace that signal mirror.
What I do miss is 'Care'. Some medication and some first aid kit. You could just add tampons and cutting them halfway open lengthwise and tape on the wounded area with the duckttape really makes a good field dressing of deep cuts. I would suggest some zip ties.
This pack/pouch seems nice but I suggest using a large fanny pack for it. That way you have the pouch and a belt to attach more stuff you might need or want.
I have some fishing hooks in my survival tin. I tape them to transparant tape and double that up so you get a nice strip of some different size fishing hooks.

But overall an good survival pouch.
Thanks!
@@SurvivalOnPurpose You're welcome. Just my 2 cents
Great kit no one should leave a camp with out one just like it .Happy Trails
;-)
I like that survival kit I need to get me one of those
Cordage, compass, descent container, and a SM always has COFFEE with him.
Cordage was there, hard to fit a decent container in a pouch, But the Compass was the missing C. Although I do always wear a Suunto Clipper on my watchband
Add a compass and a stainless steel container large enough to put the whole thing into it.That way you can keep on track and have something substantial to collect and boil water as well as to cook in. Add fish hooks and some slit shot sinkers to the duct tap thing so you can procure food.
Good looking kit sir. I think you’re without your compass. Thanks for sharing Brian. I hope you guys had a great outing.
That's it. Bit there is one on my wrist
Survival On Purpose My bad. I didn’t catch that. Perfect 10 my friend!!!!
Not about the kit so much as a thank you for your time and effort on behalf of all the dads who can't get to scout camp. It does not go unnoticed even if it goes unspoken.
Thanks.
_The _*_"Versa Flow"_*_ and the _*_"Hydro Blue"_*_ water filter is my choice for water purification. The filter has very good flow and a "Carbon" section (no back wash required). Good pick on your part my good man._
I like them
Very good sir. The only thing I didn’t see was a small compass. Might be wrong but still a common man setup . Thank you
That’s the missing “C”. Although I am always wearing one on my watch band
This is good and all, but what use will a survival kit do you if it's not small enough to carry around? Or at least if it's not in something you wear? I took a 2 oz tobacco tin and put a nice survival kit together. It has 1 Jet Scream whistle; 1 tube potassium permanganate, tube (3" x 1/4" dia); 25 yd disposable bobbin of T9 sewing thread; 1 ferro rod (4" x 3/8"); 1 Photon Microlite torch & diffuser bulb; 2 wire saws; 2 D8 finishing nails; 50' #10 fishing line; 5 #4, #6, and #8 fishing hooks; a #13 sail needle; a #18 darning needle; 1 Sun mini orientating compass; 10 #1 and #2 safety pins; an SOL Rescue ; Flash heliograph; wax soaked jute rope (4" x 1/4"); 8 lifeboat matches; cotton wool packing. The seam is sealed with vinyl tape to keep it shower proof. I also carry two SOL survival blankets, two 50 gal drum liners, a 400' spool of micro cord, a 1/2 x 6 ferro rod, a 10 oz hatchet head, and half a dozen round makeup pads dipped in wax in my vest. For a knife I carry a Cold Steel Finn Wolf. If you can't make a shelter with that and a wire saw, you have problems.
Cool video, cool gear, cool kit. Looks like you have it covered, as long as you don't lose your direction. A 10 C's kit needs a compass.
That's the missing C. But I am always wearing a Suunto Clipper watchband compass.
Didn’t realize that Sir then you good. I do enjoy your rambling. It’s honest rambling
Thanks
I can’t believe I watched the WHOLE thing! ; c ) Nice job Brian! It would be great to add a Silky Pocket Boy (on outside?).
Nope. (Hint: I am wearing the missing item somewhere)
Thank you Bryan. This gave me some very good ideas for a small easily carried kit.
I'm glad it helped.
you could hang a compass off one of those zipper pulls, I also like to keep a few basic first aid items like a few bandages and alcohol pads and hand sanitizer
Great video and a well made pouch ! There is no such thing as redundancy when it comes to ways to make a fire ;) Missing is a canvas needle , compass and for me a small jar of Bustelo ! :) C is for coffee that good enough for me !
There is sort of a canvas needle in the ripSPOOL.
Sorry Bryan , I didn't catch it till the third time through ;) The ripspool is another must have from a great company ! That needle qualifies in my book !
Keys to the motel room down the street. Hehe but seriously, food procurement... Fishing kit, snare wire. First aid kit. Compass. Map. Pencil & paper.
Thanks
I saw that someone already mentioned that you did not have a compass. Sunto (sp?) makes a small one that could easily fit in the pouch or on a cord around your neck. You have the bivy, but I would also try to get some overhead cover. A poncho tarp, Snugpak Stasha or a small tarp from Etowah Outfitters may fit.
the Suunto Clipper is always on my watchband, but that is the missing C in the kit
Full sized compass would be nice. Thank you for the video, Brian
Yep. That's what's missing
UST makes some quality products at great prices. You can get them at Walmart also, so no shipping/waiting. That CS knife is perfect for a kit that size. I would be confident going into the woods with your kit. Nice job and review. One thing though, where do you put that big piece of fatwood you use in many of your videos. Is there a side pocket? LOL I love me some fatwood. Mery Christmas Brian! PS" The Hidden Woodsman is the bomb for pouches and kits.
Merry Christmas
Thanks for supporting the Scout program
The boys need our support
Looks very good! Maybe a small folding saw, like the ones on the Victorinox Delamont (130 mm) series? That way you get a back-up knife as well...
Probably always has one on person and w/the Leatherman, there is redundancy w/cutting tools.
The leatherman has a saw
Yep, the leatherman
Leave half of the fire starter stuff and carry a small sealed tin with cotton balls saturated with petroleum jelly.
I'd add a high quality thin nylon tarp with grommets.
Instead of the 2nd flash (head) light, I'd pack extra batteries for the one flashlight.
I'd pack more cord than you have.
I'd add iodine pills for sterilization of water and with a folding (flat) metal cup. Aluminum foil is unreliable.
I have a stick match holder/whistle/compass that I'd pack.
A zip lock bag with something like an onion mesh bag to securely hold the zip lock full of water
Thanks
Awesome kit, Brian! It's very similar to the one I put together based on the 10 C's. I'd love for you to check it out and give me your thoughts. I, too, love putting these kits together and has become one of my favorite things to do for friends and family as well. Keep up the excellent work, brother! 👊🔥
Bryan, I would recommend you put a sheet of the really thick heavy-duty Aluminum foil vs the normal thickness. I've tried to make a container out of the thinner Aluminum foil. the fire burned through it. but not the really thick stuff.
+ 1 for a compass, so what if you have one on your wrist - I bet you have a blade in your pocket to go with the 2 in the pack! I use mine more than anything else in the woods) And + 1 for fish hooks, plenty of space for this in the pack.
You are correct
Excellent, excellent video
The "C" that is not in the kit is a Compass, but as you already hinted, you always have on on your wrist anyway. Nice vid though! You surprised me with the duct tape and sail needle. I was going to bust you and claim you were missing 2 "C's" but at the last minute, BOOM there they were!
Whew!
Got most of the items. Yes a compass would be a must.
Yep
your missing fishing hooks, maybe pole tips, snare wire, a saw blade, limited medicine/pain killers, disinfectant, soap and something to use as toilet paper, also some sort of small cooking container.
Nice kit Brian all good quality items and gave me some ideas thanks
I'm glad it helped.
Water and fire heavy is a good thing. I would get some 10lb braided fishing line to use for sewing and....fishing. Get some hooks and your set.
Thanks
Great to get to spend a week at camp each summer. We go to Ockanikon in PA most years. A few more weeks away for us. Enjoyed the vid. Thanks!
Cool have fun.
Actual gear list starts at 2:36 lmao, sorry Bryan just giving ya a hard time. Your videos are entertaining and also helpful, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the support!
I would add a first aid component. Some of your stuff can be adapted for first aid use but purpose built items would be good.
True
Then again, Tom, you can only fit so much. Only the essential first aid items as the bulk and weight build up quickly.
How often should you go through your gear and make sure it's all up to date.?. Please let me know. I really like your videos and I learn a lot from you. Thank you.
At least once a year.
There's no compass. great kit though.
Bingo! But there was one on my wrist.
Good kit. You won't go far wrong with that. I would defintly have a compact collapsible non plastic shopping style bag and probably loose the LM Signal for a swiss army knife soldier/treckker or simlilar and have a mora mishmetal ferro rod. Defintly keep the lighter with ranger bands wrapped under the button to stop accidental gas release. You should also have a 2nd good reliable small compass in threre, Silva do one ( i know you would probably be ok cos you have 1 on your watch anyway🖒) no pen or paper to keep a log of steps and compass bearing?

I feel headlamps are a hands-free upgrade from a flashlight. Otherwise, it's all personal choice of what you prefer to have to make in the field or substitute for. The REAL reason the "one tool" knife option came to be is many of us have awesome e.d.c. that gets left in a truck and all we had WAS our knife and whatever we could grab at a dead run. Not Rambo just reality.
Thanks
NICE JOB....you might want just a couple of bandaids ....just because I like having them about “on the spot”... over all one of the best I have seen and really like your haversack wisdom...great job.
And maybe a razor blade....(maybe). :>
I have a couple in my wallet.
everything in there was a great choice. I wonder however what additional items you could have included if you weren't so redundant. Maybe some food instead of the larger water filter and 4 ways of making a fire? Snares? Gear repair items? Canteen cup?
Also, please tell me I just have ADD and you didn't forget a compass.
That's the missing C. But I have one on my wrist. And the ripSPOOL is designed for gear repair. Duct tape, a needle and fishing line.
oh right. Nice!
Great kit.
Thanks
Great video as usual
Thank you.
I really like that kit
Thanks
Hi Bryan been noticing the whistle around your neck (howler?) but of course thats the point of hi-vis. wondering if its there in its survival capacity or a 'get your butts over here' capacity, probably both, 2 is 1 etc ATB Bill
A little of both. Mostly just in case
Well ya asked the question so here's what I think the answer might be. I'm going with the compass.
Yep. Although I do have a little one on my watch band
Nutn already batoned with that CS knife. lol
well done nice options in there thanks for the review and cheers
Thanks
I always carry a GAT ferro rod with tungsten sharpener, cheap hotel ballpoint pen wrapped with Gorilla tape (think "Bic"-type from Marriott, etc), a pair of cheap pliers, some 550 rope, a chap stick (absolutely fantastic fire starter aid) and two heavy duty, large "lawn bags". Domestically (not flying), always a heavy-duty folding knife,.Over the pond, a pair of EMS shears. Been over the pond on numerous occasions (4?) with this exact setup (minus folding knife). Braced once by TSA in Albuquerque ("What is that cylindrical metal item?" It looks like a sharpener) "For sharpening fishhooks and kitchen knives, I am a cook" "OK". Once coming back from Paris "What is this? "It is a fishhook sharpener, Sir" "OK , have a good flight". The other items? No interest. Just my .2c. Cheers
Thanks!
I have the hidden woodsmen day ruck 2018 model it is awesome 👍 great video!
yes it is
Cool equipment, please can you make video about your hat and give more info-thanx
Good video great Gear.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Awesome kit, thanks for sharing! God bless
Thanks for watching.
Nothing to gather food or quick energy bar
Great kit 👍👍👍
Thanks. I appreciate it.
Suggestion for your Scouts - lots of people have old computers laying around. If your Scouts need signal mirrors, they could offer to take the old hard drives out and take them apart to protect their friends/family from data theft. Inside a standard magnetic drive are 2 mirrored plates (where the data is stored) about 3.5" diameter and really strong magnets. Good for any survival kit.
Good idea
Perfect, i was first thinking switch out the flashlight to a headlamp. But in minute 13 the headlamp was shown haha. soo, becouse i am picky i would take away one of the water filter and put in a good compass. I know u are good at orientering Bryan but what happens if you must give that pouch to someone else? Anyway good video and have you a nice midsummer.
You got it right. But I do always wear a Suunto Clipper compass on my watchband. and it is pretty decent.
Looks good to me .l like it.
Thanks. I appreciate it.
A good video and great kit. How about a small
Medical kit and compass.
Hmmm. Good call
Add the suunto clipper compass
On my wrist always
Awesome vid enjoyed it!! I hope u enjoyed ur time with Boy Scout camp this week!!
I did. Thanks
Great pouch. Kit is missing a compass.
;-)
I like having a lot of cordage that has almost zero bulk and negligent weight. Deep sea braided fishing line. I notch an expired credit card so it can't slip off and then just wind it on.
There was about 50' of bank line plus the fishing line on the Exotac ripSPOOL
Compass is the one thing you didn’t mention
yep. That's it
Nice kit, as for what's missing I find it more personal preference in gear what works for me may not for you so how could anyone tell you you need this or that. You could boil water with rocks all be it not the best choice but it could be done so then are rocks missing I'm guessing you get the point.
I do.
Great video🙂 maybe a little food?
thanks
I didn't seen any bug spray ! Add some !
maybe, but that is not an essential or one of the "10 Cs"
trust me...in south Alabama it is an "essential"....:)
Hey brother, I think you are missing your compass....lol
Bingo!
a proper compass because the ones on watches are not always reliable and if you have on a ring or bracelet it will throw off your reading and remember if you are walking to a specific target meaning place or person or persons and you are off even a little you can wander as far as potentially a mile or a few miles or even many miles away from your intended goal so you need a good solid reliable compass I recommend a military issue because of how reliable and durable they are and a few maps topographical are my preferred maps of places and sites you are around but maybe not as used to because survival is not always possible in one fixed position no question a first aid kit IF your not carrying one elsewhere
That is it
if you had a flashlight with the usb for charging you could charge it with a portable solar panel charger
yep
What type of coffee do you drink?
Black. Other than that, I'm not too specific
10th "C" -companionship. Like a dog, cat or blowup doll
or a compass
Antiseptic or alcohol for wound wash
Thanks
a compass as you could forget your personal one
True
Missing the compass according to the 10 C’s
That’s it! Although I do have a Suunto Clipper compass on my watch band
Canvas needle?
The ripSPOOL has a pretty big needle, so that's not it. But you could potentially make the missing item with a needle. (a compass)
no fatwood?
Compass. ALthough I did have a little one on my wrist
