I remember on a Outward Bound course during solo how a candle was invaluable

Years ago in the Army’s Ranger School, I was always cold & wet in the North GA Mountains. When we got a break, usually early in the morning after moving all night, I’d put a heat tab between my legs while sitting cross-legged on the ground. Because the heat tab was toxic, I’d drape my poncho around me and seal it at the neck. The steam would roll off as that small heat tab dried my clothes and me.

Yep, candles are under rated for heat. Came back the university dorm a day early before they turned the heat back on, lit four candles, it was warm enough. Told my soil science professor about it, he didn't believe it helped heat.

Raphael Frommer , A DVD or CD covered in Mylar works great for a signaling device. Weighs almost nothing, and it's cheap!

Nice video. You may also want to checkout the review of survival kit on my blog at *carlreviews. com/survival-kit-review/* Thanks, Leland.

True. Those 'multi-purpose' combos are often cheap junk. Best to source each item individually .. Compass - Whistle - Waterproof Container - Matches - Striker - Mirror. Besides being able to pick each item specifically for one's needs, as Mors mentioned, lose the gimmick and one loses six items.

Wish I could buy one of his pots. They don't make them anymore. 😟

@@rickyfargason8859 sorry to hear that. I didn't know it. Had mine for a long time and cooked many meals out of it. It is one of my top 5 favorite items I carry in the woods.

I found an old aluminum camping pot that has all of the same features, a bale, butterfly handles, secure lid, and a pouring spout. And is about the same capacity. Very light weight. Just needs a little cleaning and it will be good as new. You would amazed what you can find for bushcraft in antique stores. I found an entire nesting cook camp kit.

@@rickyfargason8859 that's great. I look at alot of yard sales and estate sales also. Glad it worked out.

And help reduce overpopulation at the same time! You sir, are a genius :D

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying your FBI agent is getting a warrant. I'm not saying I agree with you, but I keep spare mylar blankets for other people.

He is The GOAT you are saying?

Yes, add a clear drop cloth to a lean too and you have the makings for a super survival shelter. A reflector and a fire and you will stay warm at night, just keep the fire going. A great video and wisdom.

​@@55QuirllYes, a fire with visible flames aka emitting light .. the more, the better, is the most effective.

The most important survival tool is your brain. Your brain needs food to function. Anyone can make cordage from bark, vines, leaves, reeds, etc with a little bit of knowledge. Take maybe 50 ft of paracord (enough to make a shelter) and if you need more than that make cordage while you're sitting at a fire. It will keep you occupied, which has a calming effect and actually boosts confidence when you can make another 50 feet of cord in an hour or so. Buckwheat groats is an awesome food source that can be prepared by cooking or simply by adding water and waiting 4 or 5 hours without heat. Take a kilo of grouts, a few tins of canned pork (high in fat) and a few packages of dehydrated soup mix and you have 3 days of food eating normally and can ration it to a week if need be. Having food keeps your moral up and allows you time to concentrate on other things while conserving energy from trying to collect food in the wild, which isn't as easy as most people believe. Anyhow, that's just my opinion of what works for me even though it doesn't fit into the 2 kilo theme of this video. If you're making a "Five C's" pack (cutting, cover, cordage, combustion, container) and have room left over, fill the voids with food.

I like your choice of foodstuff. Buckwheat is a definite inclusion as with the dried soup mix .. 'OXO' / Meat Cubes too. If really pushed, I would ditch Coffee and Tea, despite their morale-inducing / stimulant properties .. and replace them with meat cubes / mix, at the very least, the fat and salt content being more beneficial. That food choice will ensure that (as Ragnar Benson once commented on his, similar emergency food stash which was for a group of four for one month), "one will not get bored and eat everything in three days" 😏.

Pathfinder 64oz bush pot is about all I can find.

better than two candles and poor reception :P

Got one !

@@max_fjellstorm got a link bro?

nope.

Its funny you compare Preperedmind101 with Mors...Chris Tanner from Preperedmind101 is a joke in the preparedness community man lol he steals ideas from other and put them on his chances....dont compare him with Mora, just dont

That is an interesting claim about the white plastic, could you throw some sources my way? also for the tape, i think the adhesive is mildly toxic so that may give it an antiseptic effect, kind of like silver.

Doesn't sound like he's struggling with knowledge. He was getting towards the end of the trail as it were. If anyone was yanking his chain, they'll answer to the Almighty for it.
