Product Sourcing:
When it comes to sourcing a product for review, I will usually either purchase and item personally or reach out to a supplier requesting a sample for review. Many suppliers are supportive if they are confident in their product, appreciating the value of greater exposure.
I am sometimes asked to review a product by a supplier which I will only agree to if the product fits planned content for the channel and I believe will be of interest to you, my audience. The product needs to be worthy of a review and I always make it clear to the supplier that they cannot influence or be involved in the content in any way if they choose to supply a product. It is not in my interest to review inferior or poor quality products and therefore as you might expect many requests are politely declined.
Any sponsored videos (paid for reviews) are clearly stated as such so there can be no misunderstanding. Even with sponsored reviews I will only agree to a sponsorship on products and services which I believe will be of genuine interest to viewers.
Sometimes a supplier will provide a link to the product or the supplier which I am happy to include in the description. Sometimes I will be provided with an affiliate link so I can earn a commission on sales and this helps to support channel costs but never at the expense of an honest review. There is no cost to you and in some cases discounts can be obtained via the link or via an included code.
If a product I have reviewed is available from Amazon I will often include an Amazon link in the description. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. If you purchase a product or service with the links that I provide I may receive a small commission. There is no additional charge to you.

I am a regular viewer, but I don't normally leave comments. This again is another well thought out collection of tools that cover all the bases and compliment each other. As a firefighter paramedic of almost 30 years, I'm glad you're putting a separate focus on a first aid kit and look forward to that presentation. It also is refreshing that this isn't just another ego driven "Tacticool" collection as we're often bombarded with by others. Great video. Great editing. Legitimate ideas and fantastic content.

Jon, I'd recommend adding three fairly cheap and lightweight items; a 55 to 60 gallon orange trash bag, a one gallon zip lock bag, and a large spool of unscented and waxed dental floss. The trash bag can be made into a backpack, or a tarp, or a poncho. I recommend orange because if you need to use it, you want to be as visible as possible. The ziplock bag can be used to store water or other loose gear, but you can also use it for SODIS; solar water disinfection. You can fill it with water and leave it in bright sunlight to use a combination of UV and pasteurization from solar heat to disinfect the water, so anything you can do to raise the temperature (leave it on a black or metallic surface in full sun) helps. The dental floss is actually your lightweight cordage; useful for setting up your emergency trash bag into a tarp or for lashing things together. Unscented is best as you can then also use it for trapping.

I would include an emergency blanket. You could never have enough of them in a real emergency or survival situation. Even though their might be one in your first aid kit. For example: Use one as an improvised tarp/tent to block rain and wind and the other one around your body. There are more situations where you need more than one in your kit but I think you get the idea.

I was going to say this. The only thing missing was something for shelter. I'd really recommend an ultralight poncho, either a plastic pocket one that would fit in this case along with an emergency blanket or an ultralight poncho that will cover a pack and convert to a tarp. I have one made of silnylon. It wouldn't quite fit in this kit, though, so I'd have the pocket poncho ($

A Clipper lighter weighs less and offers pretty much the same functionality as the nanospark while also adding an open flame in a handy package. With the four grams saved you could add some tinder function. I've never had a BIC or Clipper lighter leak, as long as you secure the button somehow (zip-tie, a cap) it's good to go.

In my tiny travel pouch I use the pokey bit from a clipper (shout-out all the stoners out there) as a spare ignition source. It's way smaller then that Exothingy and you can get 2 mini clipper lighters from Poundland

The battery provides only 3600 mAh at 5 Volts, since its 5000 mAh at 3.6V. Another way of looking at it is 18,000 mWh, or 18 watt hours. Although it seems sneaky to consumers, it's still a very nice and modular system, and if you're going where it matters you'd probably have a more primary charger or spares. Thanks for the video!

I watched the firelighting part of your video and I started to think about what I could use as a fire starter instead of a commercial product. I decided to experiment with a vial of olive oil. Pour onto wood to help it catch fire. Add a wick and it becomes an oil lamp. The oil can be used for dry skin or for "oil pulling" mouth rinse for dental hygiene or to keep iron tools from rusting. Also some healthy calories for energy!

These are slightly heavier than a AAA battery and can be seen for over 3 kilometers by day or over 10 at night and by a plane or ship. They are inexpensive at about $15. Just a suggestion

Always loved your videos Jon! Love this kit too. I’ve just discovered the Sharpie ‘Twin Tip’ pens and they’re another game-changing piece of equipment for my kits. They’re especially handy if you have a small notebook like the one in this video to write in as the smaller tip is like a standard pen. It saves that extra bit of space in your kits. I bought a 12-pack off Amazon in the Black Friday deal for £9 (usually £18 I believe) and they’re now dispersed across various kits. Anyway, thanks for the great content and keep it coming!

I've spent hundreds of days living in austere conditions, so this kind of kit is right up my street! I would strongly recommend adding a couple of mini-bic lighters as a primary firelighting source. I've also successfully used waterproof matches that have got damp, and would definitely rather have either over the nanospark. I was interested in the ripspool until I saw the cost.... £40 for something I could put together for a tenner (albeit not as aesthetically pleasing). Most electrical/ repair tape is pretty flammable, so you can also use it as a form of tinder. My go-to battery pack is the Nitecore NB10000, as I don't mind carry an extra 50g for double the capacity over the F21i. The obvious omissions are a form of shelter (e.g. survival blanket, which I know you mention is in your FAK) and container for water (e.g. plastic bag).

The tinder can be cut into shorter pieces to extend the amounts of use. Fireplace starter sticks, are also cheap, easy to light, pre prepared , burn long, and weigh nothing. I personally would advise matches regardless of weight. It's negligible in regards to warmth. Turning small wheels with numb fingers is futile. Been there, done that. I'm far above the Arctic circle. We leave nothing to spare on ski/ tent trips in the mountains. Nice kit. Thanks for uploading. Cheers from Norway..

Nice mini bag. I carry a sling bag I throw in my truck when I walk out the door. It has all these things (including those zip ties which I go thru very often) along with a few other things I have room for. A fixed blade knife A protein bar A rain poncho Emergency blankie First aid kit Extra glasses Long titanium spoon & fork Small pliers Fire kit

Awesome like always, but i would consider to at a space blanket! Very small and saves lives. Keep up the great work.

Nice video - well done. Wanted to recommend looking at Gerber Dime multi-tool (very compact). Also, may want to consider adding an emergency blanket (very small and compact).

Just found your channel and been good to watch but I felt I “must” leave a comment the battery for your power bank need’s a silicone cover Iv worked with lithium ion high drain batteries for some years and have seen the damage they can do if they short “they will flair and won’t go out until they burn out so will carry on under water or smothered in sand and some times even pop as the burning pressure builds up” you can get what we called battery condoms basically a silicone cover with a long hole in the side to set the battery in and cover the ends from any metallic objects that happen to come loose it’s a easy mistake but one Iv seen the results of and skin graphs houses burning etc is not worth ignoring for the sake of a 99p bit of silicone anyway I’m going to calm myself down after freaking out seeing the battery loose in your pouch and will come back to watch more episodes after 😅 keep up the good work with finding the gems and ideas though Iv been enjoying that 👍🏻

Shut up and take my money! Memes aside, this is by FAR the best miniature kit I've seen! Most others have maybe one item I'd consider buying, but this one has nothing I dislike! I'd love to see you create a mini-bug-out bag. My idea about it: 1) centerpiece: a canteen with a fitting cup. Both can be used for cooking 2) small fire kit with foldable hobostove, storm matches, and tinder; personally, I love blue flame lighters and found them fairly reliable, but a backup is necessary 3) something to filter water 4) a compass, a pen, and waterproof notes 5) that ultra-compact blanket, typically silver and bright orange, is useful for heat retention; maybe another compact one that can be used for shelter 6) miscellaneous: paracord, ductape, lightweight pegs, maybe something additional for repair, poaching (snares), or fishing I didn't include a knife, because, just like clothes, I do think everyone should carry one anyway. First aid, is another topic as well... I wouldn't be surprised if you could improve on the concept considerably. Anyway, I'm still planning on what I'd put together...

Really professionally shown. Thank you :-) Some things I find, are much to expensive. But a nice set alltogether. Greetings from Germany.

Snap :) I made a very similar kit recently although less of the lighting and power and more shelter emphasis. Total weight 399g just perfect for popping on a belt when hiking.

Very good...I try and catch up on your site. This is very helpful, I have some items, but you have refined much of that list. I'll run this a few times....and jot down the names. Take care.

Great kit! As an Elf of Lothlórien said to Sam: Never travel far without a rope! Suggestion: Dyneema 2m reflective cord, 1.5g/m, 10m weighs 15g. More versatile than tie wraps 😀.

The nitecore bank is a great idea. Would be super handy if you have a nitecore torch that takes the same battery. Imagine if someone made something similar that took any battery 🤯😍 The Nebo Mycro 500+ is my current head torch. The clip allows the user to clip it to a cap peak, molle or clothing etc.

There are some head lights that provide a power bank feature - heavy though compared - and reduces options slightly

You can make your own nano spark from an empty cricket style lighter and an oring. The victorinox ferro fits inside with your variety selection of tinder materials.

Good suggestion. Nanospark is very lightweight and kicks out lots of sparks!
