    Very good video. It depends on the situation I guess, but being up in the northern US, it gets cold sometimes even in the summer. I always recommend to carry something to wrap up in that’s more of a sleep system than just an emergency blanket. Even if it’s just a poncho liner it’s better than nothing, and it’s light weight enough that there isn’t really any excuse. It’s one thing to take the time to gather materials to build a brows bed or something, but if your trying to conserve calories you might just want to do the minimal work required collecting off the landscape. Yes you have to use more calories to carry sleep systems around with you, but something pre thought out and light weight really doesn’t take much. That’s the only thing I didn’t see you cover. Other than that amazing video once again!

    Whistles are a must in my kit, i carry one in the woods, have one attached to my PFD when kayaking, and have one attached to my BCD for scuba diving.

    Folding knives are just as durable as a fixed blade when you go with quality and know what you are doing. I have been using a Victorinox Fieldmaster for decades and it has been of service during two emergencies. In the Dutch military we get a Victorinox Soldier for survival and with a very good reason it can do so much more than just a fixed blade. For fire i can recommend the Clipper lighter. When it runs out of fuel you can remove the sparkwheel and use it as a ferrorod. As a backup i always carry a waterproof container with NATO matches (government issue). The British magnesium block with ferrorod build in is a good third choice but only if you know how to use it. Navigation would depend on where you are and what your skill level is. For shelter i would start with decent clothes in several layers. Always keep a hat and scarf in your clothes or pack plus a waterproof outer layer. Not an emergency poncho or blanket but a real sturdy one. A ripstop poncho or rainsuit and dependent on climate a liner or vest. I am missing the basic first aid. Most emergency situations come with injury. A basic first aid kit could actually save your life unlike the line or duct tape. But the most important thing is let people know where you are going. The approximate route and when you expect to get back. That gives you a fighting chance to actually get rescued.

  • Good basic video! I, too, like bank line but I also recently got some Kevlar 300 lb. cord so I can carry 30 feet in my watch pocket under my SAK. EDC. Works as a saw, too!

    Good video and list. All of these items/categories are in my Go bag I use both for urban and wilderness survival.
  • A great , informative , video. Great to see someone who knows what he is talking about, giving a presentation. Just one small suggestion regarding whistles. Attach a spare whistle on a short lanyard to your backpack, this will give you a backup in case you lose or damage your main whistle and, this is the important bit, you can access the whistle on your pack if you injure, or trap, your hands or arms and can't get into your pockets. Have subscribed.
  • You might want to check out the Quansheng UV-K5 radio. It's the Baofeng replacement. Also Rovyvon, Wuben, Fenix & Thrunite have totally replaced Maglight ... That's an awesome ferro rod !!! 😮

    Very well organized, clearly stated and informative video!
  • Awesome video dude and arguably the most important part was right at the start…practice skills people!
  • I can take a leaf and make a whistle best natural material is a blade of grass
  • @butchie2752
    Good list but one thing could have been emphasized. How are you going to carry it? How much can you carry if you have to make a run for it? Have you practiced? I recommend a belt pack and small backpack.
