@@davidcarothers3311 that's covered in the 10c's under "would be nice to have". A candling source isn't a necessity and you can easily create one if there's pine trees in the area.
1. Knowledge of what plant/roots are edible in that area 2. Tourniquet 3. Good compass so i don't walk in circles 4. Hatchet 5. Ferro rod 6. Steel single walled water bottle (to boil and carry water). If I can cheat 😊 then 3 pairs of exta socks so I can keep swirching them and keep my feet dry.
Lighters don't work when wet but ferro rods do. Also people can get better at ferro rods with a lot of practice. Lighters are easier but they can break easily.
A 16oz spray can of carburetor cleaner combined with a lighter = Instant Flamethrower, when you need to ignite wet timber as if you threw gasoline on it but can't carry a gallon of gasoline.
If you could add a few more items, I would include a waterproof jacket and pants, and a compact down jacket so you don’t freeze at night. And you need water so a filter would save you trying make a fire to boil it, and a large plastic bottle squashed down for an emergency water supply. Nothing worse than running out of water or getting soaking wet and freezing to death.
You may want a quality poncho, they have many uses such as, trapping heat in, ground cover, water proof to roof of a debree shelter,,water catchment and ground cover under sleeping bag ect
Back in my army days in the 80s each soldier was issued a poncho and a half tent. We were supposed to put up a pup tent and share it with a buddy. One time in the field there was one guy without a buddy. My buddy and I connected our tent halfs to his. This left an open space above so I snapped my poncho to the tent sections to make a roof. We had improvised a teepee with the poncho. The three man tent was more spacious inside than a two man tent.
@@luisaymerich9675 I always hated those old tech shelter halfs. heavy, somewhat bulky, miserable to sleep in, prone to leaking especially if touched, no deterrent to bugs and snakes, required a buddy to actually make a tent and on and on. What happened when i retired? The military finally started issuing tents that were better in every way. They couldn't do it when i was active duty. didn't improve the issue tent basically since the civil war but waited until i was gone to do it.
Saw definitely beats a hatchet if weight and space capacity are limited. I love axes and have many hatchets and tomahawks that I've used for years, but the fact is that the pure crosscutting power of a saw is 4-5X more efficient than a hatchet and you can easily split wood with improvised wedges and a maul.
@@Staroy A decent saw blade can easily last over a year of regular use and spare blades only weigh one ounce each and are nearly paper thin. You could carry over a decade's worth of saw blades for the same weight and bulk as a loaded G17 magazine. And they can be resharpened with practice if you just order the correct file.
I have a few. They make good window covers in a hot RV. They would make a good window in a shelter if fully taped off. I’d rather have an emergency bivvy sack for real world issues. They are Mylar on the inside, orange on the outside, waterproof, will stave off hypothermia. Those little blankets are like tissue flapping in the breeze. They tear easily, aren’t big enough to cover you head to toe while sleeping or shivering.
there are tarps that have the same sort of material on the inner side but much sturdier than the throw away ones. i am not talking about the foam reinforced ones which are throw away too though you get more use out of them than the typical mylar. These are actual permanent kit type tarps.
Remember, having the best equipment is useless until you learn and learn some more how to use it. They often say cook with your rocket or camp stoves once a month to keep up proficiency on them too.
“I can only trust it if I’ve spent time with it” it a key quote for survival for any beginner👍 I’m definitely using that quote in the future 👍 great video
Blood stopping kit, satellite phone with GPS navigation, couple of pairs of socks (to keep my feet dry), axe, fire starter, something to boil and carry water in.
Socks can also be used as mittens, pot holders, tourniquets, pressure bandages (with duct tape), a rough water filter, a washcloth, and a menstrual pad.
If you would carry so much stuff with you, it wouldn't be a survival situation, but just a nice weekend in nature. A survival situation would be when you get trapped totally unexpected and unprepared in the wilderness after an airplane crash for example.
New viewer here, back country enthousiast etc, Watched through a lot of your videos and I’m glad to see someone who is the real deal. Thanks,Justin! Great content.
Lol, my thoughts too! But they are so damn small and easy. I keep at least one no matter where I go. It's in EVERY backpack I own, all of my vehicles, in my med kits... everywhere. Too small and convenient not to carry. Just my 2 cents
Fun short. Thanks man. 1) tactical backpack. Cordage included. 2) AR15 with bayonet. 3) 300 round in preloaded mags. 4) fire starter 5) pot 6) sleep system Arguably, I'm cheating but having fun doing it. Wish list. 7) Another knive with similar properties to OP. 8) Fully charged drone to do the initial scout of the surpunding area.
Instead of those saws, I recommend a decent hatchet or axe. Not only is it likely to last much longer than those cheap folding saws but it can also double as a wood splitter. The hatchet also works better as a defensive weapon.
And it can be used as a hammer, a hanger... all sorts of things if your imagination is good. I'm 100% down with a hatchet or axes (if you HAVE TO chose) instead of a saw. It is worth the extra weight... Personally, I carry both on my pack.
They always say a fixed blade. I don't believe that's really important. Unless you carry a liner/frame lock. They are easy to fail. A lockback is all we used in survival training back in the 80s and 90s. Id take a saw over a ax anytime. We used to carry saw blades and made saws for skill tests. This is a good starting list.

@@tobiramsay I guess you've never camped - or _survived_ - in sub 40 degree nights.

But hey, you enjoy your lighter and tarp LOL!
a container, even a bush pot, also helps in collecting and carrying. Having no other means to carry items than perhaps two pockets, a container helps a lot and helps efficiency when collecting as at least one hand is free. You boil any water regardless so it should be fine to have water in. A metal container such as a pot may also produce distinct sounds that are not found naturally.
@@justinuriahphoto I recently got the grayl water filter cup but it’s not small and easily packable and it also only filters 40 gallons of water which is fine for going hiking, camping etc but the life straw although more difficult to use, filters 1,000 gallons and it’s much smaller so it’s something to consider I think 👍🏼
@@richroc7 The sawyer mini filter is supposed to be good for 100,000 gallons and is much easily to use than a life straw. If you had a mouth injury/dental problem, you might not be able to use the straw at all! Also, the Mini comes with a reusable bag so you don't have to put 'bad' water in your water container! I would add a small pre-filter no matter which one you choose!
I'm an avid backpacker so I bring my entire backpack, even on a day hike. It helps me stay in shape, and when I take a lunch break, I have a nice hot meal 😁😁
Excellent setup overall. The two things that stick in my craw are (1) having a scand-grind on 3/16" stock. That can be easily fixed on a belt sander, by grinding the shoulder back a bit. Otherwise, it will be a bear to sharpen in the field, and it will be too wedgy for efficiency in many tasks. However, if you really want a sharpened prybar that you will not break, that design is good. (2) The sheath has no "shoulder" to prevent the blade from penetrating the welt and stitching after repeatedly driving it into place. "Headspacing" should be on something besides the cutting edge, such as the front of the handle. A wood liner in the sheath, which the handle would stop against, would fix the impending problem.
Poor list! THIS IS IS NOW EDITED BECAUSE OF THE COMENT BELLOW! I’d add Water ❌Spare underwear❌ wet wipes ✅ Spare socks 500 bushwhacker revolver Full tang kukri knife Exo tac lighter
Instead of a numerical limit, use a limit based on your carry plan (pocket, fanny pack, back pack, truck, etc). This is a good list of the basics. I would add some first aid items, a headlamp, and pack it all in a water bottle.
Great list. Can you make a video to show the best way to pack all of this into a backpack? I’m interested to see exactly how you would pack it. Thanks!
My preferred survival kit is a full-size house with a kitchen, plumbing, electricity, a fridge, all the amenities that come with civilised life, a library and a fully stocked pantry.
1. Jeo-tec no 39, Full tang fixed blade knife. 2. Autine or grans fur bruks Forest ax 3. Silk Goneboy handsaw 4. Cook pot 5. 6”x1/2” Ferrell rod 6. Heavy duty tarp shelter (no grommet type tarp. Go with sewn in strap tie down points.
That's in a backpack. In my pockets, I'd have that folding knife plus a Swiss army knife with a brass whistle, a bic lighter with 3 rows of electrical tape wrapped around the body,for firestarter or if you need some tape and a AAA flashlight.
It made me feel good knowing I have at least 60 percent of these items in my jeep or in my room ready for use after seeing this dude recommending them. Good stuff
I agree with your first three items but I would go with a lighter since it gives you spark and sustainable flame whereas the ferro only gives you sparks so you'll need good dry tinder! I believe that a good poncho is better that the tarp and (cheapo) emergency blanket. Though technically a set, a canteen with nesting metal cup and stove is better because it takes up no more room and nearly doubles the amount of water that you can carry! #7 would be a backpack large enough to carry lots of food. #8 would be a .22LR like a 10/22 or AR-7 for hunting and fishing. Yeah, I wrote 'fishing' because if you can see a fish fairly close by and shoot at it, the shock will temporarily stun it allowing you to grab and/or strike/snag it with a stick!
To anyone who thinks that he used the edge of the knife on the ferro rod, he didn't. If you look closely at the clip you can see that the edge is pointed at the camera and the spine of the knife is against the ferro rod.
I have spent a lot of time walking barefoot in the mountains. One tool that I found essential is a microscope, which is useful in stimulating my curiosity and a second useful tool is a flute, hammock and a bottle of honey.
I have a minimalist camping kit that is not a challenge. Things that I can always carry, I haven't tested the wool blanket yet, but I used two fleece ones. I'll summarize them here: 1 knife or pocketknife 2 flint, tinder and lighter 3 cheap rope, rope for shelter 4 water bottle with mug 5 kilt, 3x3 tarp and socks for sleeping (thermal insulation or 2x2 tarp?) 6 flashlight and candle and whistle 7 compass (paper and pencil?) 8 bandana or cotton cloth 9 and 10 repair kit (needle, thread, silver tape, pin) 11 coffee and sugar toilet paper! (Possible extras: whistle, tobacco, plastic bag, bandana, bleach, sleepwear, band-aid, brick fragment) (I didn't actually summarize it, I just took the already summarized version from the notebook, you don't even need a backpack, just a backpack and use the tarp and blanket as a backpack and put some things inside if you don't want to carry them in the backpack, the brick fragment is great for sharpening knives. And by "pocket knife" I'm specifically referring to my Victorinox Ranger). For me, this and a machete are enough. Food isn't really necessary, but I buy a few things on the way, like sausage to roast, and oatmeal is always good, oatmeal alone is enough to last a long time, actually. This is my standard now. This way I don't have to waste mental energy and time choosing what to take, and having written everything down makes it harder to forget, and quicker to put together
The most sensible short I have seen in ages ...I Just watched one on a built in holster for the console of a truck and I am thinking 'this country is full of lunatics!!!' Great tips and well presented.
I’d also carry a first aid kit, a pair of gloves, a large tarpaulin for a shelter and a flashlight/wrist light/headlamp. And maybe a firearm with an adequate amount of ammunition. just my assessment if I ever go out into the wilderness. But for those that subscribe to the less is more method, what was shown in this video is helpful. But, a first aid kit is needed no matter what.
I like the video and it's a solid list, But what you do in your demonstrations is also important because people are going to do what you do. It looks like you are scraping the Ferro rods with the knife blade which can mess up your blade, use the back of the blade instead. You may have to file a small flat 90 degree section but it is well worth it.
In all of my years outdoors I have never used the blade. It has to be the camera angle. I will make sure I show that from a different angle next time. I have plenty of other videos that show the spine being used.
I love the PKS Mountaineer. I got 1 3 years ago. It's become my EDC knife. I haven't found anything at can't do. I've had several high end knives but, this is the best and my personal favorite.
Masons twine can be used like cordage, is strong and has some stretch to it so it can be used for a makeshift bowstring,fishing line,or can be used to cut through things by rigging a handle to the ends of a length and sawing it back and forth
I love videos like this and the comments. I'm not a fan of the "great outdoors", but I'm a fan of survival techniques. And no, I hate those kind of shows. I'm actually obsessed with a situation that happened in the Appalachian Trail. A hiker "got lost" and basically died from the elements. Inchworm. Incredibly bizarre story. She did not have a compass with her. I would think that would be a very important piece for survival.
@@justinuriahphoto The book is "When You Find My Body." No, I haven't read it. I appreciate your work and advice. I am not an "outdoorsy" kind of guy. I have allergies. Summer camp was a complete nightmare for me.
My list is simple #1 water bottle with water in it. #2 knife/machete with cover #3 container to purify water/cook with (an old ww2 water canteen and cup system with cover) #4 cordage #5 warm water proof sleeping bag #6 poncho (military style)
Nice list. I would probably pick the saw over the hatchet, and keep my esee 4 as a small chopper. Cordage, a small steel pot, a tarp, and would trade in a flint for a large box of matches in a waterproof bag.
I use a water resistant hammock, Para cord, folding saw with three blades, mini multi tool, a permanent match. I'm still missing a bush knife. Got a little wittler but it's curve is for skinning. It truly is hard to find a knife you want to partner up with.
Switch the flimsy space blanket with either the heavy duty ones that come with grommets or a poncho. Many own the cheap, small ones without having ever using them. Try using them in wind, heavy rain/snow, they tear easily, then are useless. I carry them in my kits but not as primary. This is a 6 item list but luckily I'm not restricted to only 6. Can't think of a scenario in which I would be. 😅
I paused at the beginning to come up with my own list, and it was identical to yours, lol. My order was knife, ferro rod, stainless steel pot/water bottle, cordage, tarp shelter, hatchet/ saw.
Id love it if you started doing audiobooks. But not just any audiobooks I want to hear the most serious pieces of literature ever written-in that southern drawl

You should also take a sharpening stone because your knife and hatchet is going to dull the more you use it.

I'm an avid backpacker so I bring my entire backpack, even on a day hike. It helps me stay in shape, and when I take a lunch break, I have a nice hot meal 😁😁
Excellent setup overall. The two things that stick in my craw are (1) having a scand-grind on 3/16" stock. That can be easily fixed on a belt sander, by grinding the shoulder back a bit. Otherwise, it will be a bear to sharpen in the field, and it will be too wedgy for efficiency in many tasks. However, if you really want a sharpened prybar that you will not break, that design is good. (2) The sheath has no "shoulder" to prevent the blade from penetrating the welt and stitching after repeatedly driving it into place. "Headspacing" should be on something besides the cutting edge, such as the front of the handle. A wood liner in the sheath, which the handle would stop against, would fix the impending problem.
Poor list! THIS IS IS NOW EDITED BECAUSE OF THE COMENT BELLOW!
I’d add
Water
❌Spare underwear❌ wet wipes ✅
Spare socks
500 bushwhacker revolver
Full tang kukri knife
Exo tac lighter
PLUS 1R2 ROLLS OF TP JUST N CASE😊
@@trishbutler8910 dude thank you!!! I fixed it
Instead of a numerical limit, use a limit based on your carry plan (pocket, fanny pack, back pack, truck, etc). This is a good list of the basics. I would add some first aid items, a headlamp, and pack it all in a water bottle.
Great list. Can you make a video to show the best way to pack all of this into a backpack? I’m interested to see exactly how you would pack it. Thanks!
On the list!
Wouldn't a pack be item #8, since the emergency blanket would be #7!
if u need a video on how to put stuff in a backpack, good fuckin luck
@@phill4337Take a breather pal. Why the need to shame another? There are things in this world you aren’t sure of too.
My preferred survival kit is a full-size house with a kitchen, plumbing, electricity, a fridge, all the amenities that come with civilised life, a library and a fully stocked pantry.
I love my SRO cooking gear!
Me too! Thanks for sharing!
1. Jeo-tec no 39, Full tang fixed blade knife.
2. Autine or grans fur bruks Forest ax
3. Silk Goneboy handsaw
4. Cook pot
5. 6”x1/2” Ferrell rod
6. Heavy duty tarp shelter (no grommet type tarp. Go with sewn in strap tie down points.
Everything else can be acquired or made from natural or man made materials.
A towel. 😅
👍🏻👍🏻
Phone charger,newspaper,sunglasses, comb,pillow and toilet paper
What would you remove or add to make the list better? Do you have a top 5 or top 10? Let me know in the comments!
I’d add a small first aid kit.
Can you tell me and explain what's better Paracord or bank line. I've never even touched bank line
I could add catapult
That's in a backpack. In my pockets, I'd have that folding knife plus a Swiss army knife with a brass whistle, a bic lighter with 3 rows of electrical tape wrapped around the body,for firestarter or if you need some tape and a AAA flashlight.
Water
It made me feel good knowing I have at least 60 percent of these items in my jeep or in my room ready for use after seeing this dude recommending them. Good stuff
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
What knife is that?
Same, I came here to try and find out as well😊
Just saw his response to another comment. It’s the mountaineer by pathfinder knife shop
@@austinspicer2813your the goat buddy for this comment
I agree with your first three items but I would go with a lighter since it gives you spark and sustainable flame whereas the ferro only gives you sparks so you'll need good dry tinder! I believe that a good poncho is better that the tarp and (cheapo) emergency blanket. Though technically a set, a canteen with nesting metal cup and stove is better because it takes up no more room and nearly doubles the amount of water that you can carry! #7 would be a backpack large enough to carry lots of food. #8 would be a .22LR like a 10/22 or AR-7 for hunting and fishing. Yeah, I wrote 'fishing' because if you can see a fish fairly close by and shoot at it, the shock will temporarily stun it allowing you to grab and/or strike/snag it with a stick!
Great touch points Marilyn! Thank you for sharing your ideas. #8 would be a great tool to have too!
To anyone who thinks that he used the edge of the knife on the ferro rod, he didn't. If you look closely at the clip you can see that the edge is pointed at the camera and the spine of the knife is against the ferro rod.
👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤝🏼🤝🏼
I have spent a lot of time walking barefoot in the mountains. One tool that I found essential is a microscope, which is useful in stimulating my curiosity and a second useful tool is a flute, hammock and a bottle of honey.
Thanks for sharing!
I have a minimalist camping kit that is not a challenge. Things that I can always carry, I haven't tested the wool blanket yet, but I used two fleece ones. I'll summarize them here:
1 knife or pocketknife
2 flint, tinder and lighter
3 cheap rope, rope for shelter
4 water bottle with mug
5 kilt, 3x3 tarp and socks for sleeping (thermal insulation or 2x2 tarp?)
6 flashlight and candle and whistle
7 compass (paper and pencil?)
8 bandana or cotton cloth
9 and 10 repair kit (needle, thread, silver tape, pin)
11 coffee and sugar
toilet paper!
(Possible extras: whistle, tobacco, plastic bag, bandana, bleach, sleepwear, band-aid, brick fragment) (I didn't actually summarize it, I just took the already summarized version from the notebook, you don't even need a backpack, just a backpack and use the tarp and blanket as a backpack and put some things inside if you don't want to carry them in the backpack, the brick fragment is great for sharpening knives. And by "pocket knife" I'm specifically referring to my Victorinox Ranger). For me, this and a machete are enough. Food isn't really necessary, but I buy a few things on the way, like sausage to roast, and oatmeal is always good, oatmeal alone is enough to last a long time, actually.
This is my standard now. This way I don't have to waste mental energy and time choosing what to take, and having written everything down makes it harder to forget, and quicker to put together
Thank you for sharing! Great list. I need to add a repair kit since it can be tucked away in a corner of a bag. Thanks!
So... you bring the Dave Canterbury 10 C's + coffee. The only thing you are missing is the cloth tape.
. . . and a big bag to carry all that stuff in. . . .
The most sensible short I have seen in ages ...I Just watched one on a built in holster for the console of a truck and I am thinking 'this country is full of lunatics!!!'
Great tips and well presented.
Whistle is insanely important.
I’d also carry a first aid kit, a pair of gloves, a large tarpaulin for a shelter and a flashlight/wrist light/headlamp. And maybe a firearm with an adequate amount of ammunition. just my assessment if I ever go out into the wilderness.
But for those that subscribe to the less is more method, what was shown in this video is helpful. But, a first aid kit is needed no matter what.
Thank you for your time and expertise.
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
Heres simple list for survival;
1] lighter
2] hammock
3]long knife
3] an ax or hand saw
4] a small pot
Thats all u need.
I like the video and it's a solid list,
But what you do in your demonstrations is also important because people are going to do what you do. It looks like you are scraping the Ferro rods with the knife blade which can mess up your blade, use the back of the blade instead. You may have to file a small flat 90 degree section but it is well worth it.
In all of my years outdoors I have never used the blade. It has to be the camera angle. I will make sure I show that from a different angle next time. I have plenty of other videos that show the spine being used.
@@justinuriahphoto😎 I was wondering if I saw that right
The five C’s of survivability. Good stuff.
I love the PKS Mountaineer. I got 1 3 years ago. It's become my EDC knife. I haven't found anything at can't do. I've had several high end knives but, this is the best and my personal favorite.
They make great knives indeed.
Thank you… something to know… appreciate your time
❤Thank You God Bless You❤
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
Masons twine can be used like cordage, is strong and has some stretch to it so it can be used for a makeshift bowstring,fishing line,or can be used to cut through things by rigging a handle to the ends of a length and sawing it back and forth
Awesome , thank you
Experience based knowledge
I’m partial to my 22 inch long 1/2 inch thick Bowie Knife! It has many uses! Don’t need a hatchet! 😊
I love videos like this and the comments. I'm not a fan of the "great outdoors", but I'm a fan of survival techniques. And no, I hate those kind of shows. I'm actually obsessed with a situation that happened in the Appalachian Trail. A hiker "got lost" and basically died from the elements. Inchworm. Incredibly bizarre story. She did not have a compass with her. I would think that would be a very important piece for survival.
Thanks Bill for sharing! I'll have to look up that story.
@@justinuriahphoto The book is "When You Find My Body." No, I haven't read it. I appreciate your work and advice. I am not an "outdoorsy" kind of guy. I have allergies. Summer camp was a complete nightmare for me.
All reasonable choices and reasons
My list is simple
#1 water bottle with water in it.
#2 knife/machete with cover
#3 container to purify water/cook with (an old ww2 water canteen and cup system with cover)
#4 cordage
#5 warm water proof sleeping bag
#6 poncho (military style)
Nice list. I would probably pick the saw over the hatchet, and keep my esee 4 as a small chopper. Cordage, a small steel pot, a tarp, and would trade in a flint for a large box of matches in a waterproof bag.
Great shorts. Precise, to the point valuable information. Also, I agree you have to learn your equipment.
@@mikerenner8770 thanks Mike! 🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
I use a water resistant hammock, Para cord, folding saw with three blades, mini multi tool, a permanent match. I'm still missing a bush knife. Got a little wittler but it's curve is for skinning. It truly is hard to find a knife you want to partner up with.
I love this list!
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
A Winnebago, Shakira , toilet paper , a cow , a good book and a box of matches.
Switch the flimsy space blanket with either the heavy duty ones that come with grommets or a poncho. Many own the cheap, small ones without having ever using them. Try using them in wind, heavy rain/snow, they tear easily, then are useless. I carry them in my kits but not as primary. This is a 6 item list but luckily I'm not restricted to only 6. Can't think of a scenario in which I would be. 😅
iodine might be a good idea and a first aid kit nice knife!
This set 100% wright for me!
That knife is absolutely beautiful
Excellent list. Well thought out
Thanks!
Pretty good advice.
I paused at the beginning to come up with my own list, and it was identical to yours, lol. My order was knife, ferro rod, stainless steel pot/water bottle, cordage, tarp shelter, hatchet/ saw.
Good list! I keep BOB's in all our vehicles, because you just never know!
You got that right!
Keep this up. We Americans are going to need this kind of information. The internet will not always be around.
On my list, #1 is always a loyal partner/friend.
That knife is beautiful.
I don't know what my other five would be but I would definitely take Twinkies
Id love it if you started doing audiobooks. But not just any audiobooks I want to hear the most serious pieces of literature ever written-in that southern drawl
I’m so happy for your RUclips progress
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼thank you!
With those items alone, a man of at least minor intellect, a bit of grit and experience could build himself a VERY comfortable situation.
- Dieses Messer scheint ein echter Allrounder zu sein, danke für die Vorstellung! 👏🛠️
Man. I was looking at your product list. And my favorite mora knife listed. It serving me for 18 years. Was twice near the north pole. I like your set of tools. You are the real deal
I'd bring just one thing-this guy.
I'm sick of bushcraft, BUT YOU ARE THE BEST ONE !
Thanks Cody. 🤝🏼🤝🏼
