One thing I see alot of people forget to mention in the bug out bag is Extra socks and foot powder. If you're bugging out on foot you want to keep your feet as dry as possible.

I have that sewing tin. That same company makes a manicure kit and a eyeglass repair kit in the same size tins. The sewing kit is almost full but the other two have a lot of empty space. The glasses kit also has a magnifying glass.

That fleece blanket would substitute for a poncho liner.

That was a solid dollar store bug out haul! The dollar store is a good spot to satisfy that random prepper urge but when you’re not trying to wreck your bank account!

The flashlight in my bag I got at Walmart, was $11.00 with tax. I keep an emergency blanket in there I also got at Walmart, for less than $5.00.

clearance sales dont exist at the dollar stores in my town .... I'm sad right now ....

Melting the candle down and dipping the cotton into it might work and i know those birthday candles are dirt cheap most times, also lighting the candle and dripping a bit onto cotton or tinder would work well I'd bet.

Those altoids are good for minor burns. Crush them up and add a tiny bit of water to make a paste and apply little by little to the burned area and there you have it. It won't take the pain away completely but will bring it down a bit and make it a little less irritating

you can use the magnet from the earbuds to make a rudimentary compass

You did good, brother. That paring knife should be a beast too.

Loved your video, now I know what I need to put in my bag I have.

Thank you for taking the time to prepare us; it's appreciated!

Did the field test ever happen?

Well done! Makes perfect sense to shop for bargains to add to your kit.

Decent start. Proof it can be done. YES, certainly any item on there can be improved upon. Improvements made, once you figure out what you like, what works for you, and even what options to look for.

You're the BEST, thank you!! And thank you for your service. 🙏🏻

Lead the Way, brother

Make a video on how you packed that in the bag.

Gotta see this field test....

What a freedoom life. Can do what ever u want

Great video! 💪🏽🔥

Hi. Do you have a video where you actually try the survival kit you build from the DS and from Walmart?

Love the hype. Gets me goin

Well done !

Cool information!

good stuff!

Very funny 😄 very true😊enjoyable video

Why the can of crushed tomatoes ? Other than eating it from the can ?

ur wire was in the picture hanging kit, a bag of rice or noodles to eat with or without fish. tinfoil ,1gal ziplock,/i think $1tree is what they call them here{N.C.}{really$1.25} they now have stuff cost as much as$5. Has better deals I think.Maybe give them a try. Great vid thanks!

Good video EJ. I would love to see you do a Dollar Tree video, where everything is $1.25.

Did I miss the video for this kit?

EJ from day one of your television career I've followed you not just because we are both Army vet's but because your a solid guy I truly respect that in a person . I can't afford one of your skull crusher blades but I get by with a 12" Ontario machete I believe bigger blades like this and a simple sak pocket knife will do most anything . Real happy to have you on utube thank you for your continued videos.

I don’t know where that DG is, but the ones are look like they are managed by a group of tornadoes, messy nothing on shelves cart with stock in the isles…..

Pink is your color lol

only issue the dollar general is not a true dollar store. some stuff is expensive. just saying

Cool

😀 amazing 🙂

I kind of love/hate those travel sewing kits, and fishing kits (like the one from your Walmart video): they're a bit too much for a proper survival-kit-on-the-cheap, and the contents are usually pretty sorry. But, you can do worse than getting a cheap, quick, dirty, compact, and light source of sewing needles, thread, and safety pins for your survival kit on one hand, and on the other a convenient source of fishing line, fish hooks, weights, lures, and so on! I bought a couple cheap sewing kits and a couple survival fishing kits from an online source and broke them up into pill-bottle survival kits to toss into a bag: a typical leftover prescription medicine bottle is often big enough to hold a single-edge razor blade, a couple pre-threaded sewing needles, a few safety pins, a couple small fishing hooks, swivels, sinker weights, a small fishing bobber/floater, and a couple small artificial "grub" baits/lures, a couple small twist-ties and small zip-ties, a few "picture frame" style small tacks/nails leftover from a build-it-yourself bookshelf kit project, a couple small rubber bands, a dozen or so feet of sewing thread and fishing line (or one of those little sample thumbnail-size boxes of waxed dental floss that dentists hand out in goody bags after your regular cleaning - I always spare these little floss kits for this sort of thing!), and a few other such odds-and-ends - maybe even a little snare wire. The pill bottle doesn't take up much weight or space in your bag, and keeps those little sharp or otherwise messy items organized, safe, and out of the way until needed. I repurposed the tiny pair of sewing kit scissors and a single-edge razor blade (the sort with a thicker metal spine, usually found in dollar-store paint-scraper tool packages) into a pocket first-aid kit that had no cutting tools: they are (barely) useful for cutting gauze, medical tape, or duct tape with. You can take a few feet of duct tape off of is role and re-wrap it into pocket-size flat-rolls that package nicely into a pocket first-aid kit or repair/sewing kit, to go with those little scissors: duct tape can be improvised into clothing, tent, or sleeping bag patches, bandages, and other odd uses! (Some small first aid kits have enough room for the duct tape, others might need you to make some room; depending on your first aid kit, you can often afford to sacrifice bulky rolls of medical tape and spare band aids if you need to!) Alternatively, you can probably wrap a few feet of duct tape around your pill-bottle fishing/repair kit, and maybe a couple feet of black vinyl electrical repair tape around the pill-bottle lid. Your local dollar store or pharmacy might have a reading glasses or "eye care" section that includes inexpensive little eyeglass repair kits: these can be (almost) worth their weight and price even if you do not wear eyeglasses or sunglasses, in the event something happens and you need to make a field repair: they typically include a few small screws to replace those lost from eyeglasses, along with a couple small elastic bands (used to tighten the glasses hinges), a couple of nose pads for comfort where the glasses rest on your nose, and a (cheap) little screwdriver and maybe a little plastic magnifier and sometimes some (cheap) tweezers; the little screwdriver usually fits nicely into a pocket-survival-kit tin, and the magnifier and tweezers - if included - can often fit into the roomier pocket first-aid kits: nice for removing bee stingers, thorns, splinters, ticks.... After that, I usually merge most fishing kit leftovers and sewing kit leftovers like the seam-ripper and thimble, into my main fishing tackle box, as these are generally more trouble, weight, and bulk than they are generally worth for a ready-to-go bag: it's usually a little too much stuff for the purpose - extra weight and room that you'd probably get more mileage from if you used it to carry water or something instead!

where is that store?

Dollars tree is not a dollar anymore

Great news, thank you
