That is the best knife ive seen in a pay for kit video yet

This honestly might be the best overall survival kit you've ever covered, usually it's always "oh it's missing this and that" but this time I was impressed by the quality and quantity of what it has, and the special surprises of things I would've only thought of out in the field and not while planning a bag. I literally said, out loud, "IT EVEN HAS A BIOHAZARD BAG!" Every expectation was surpassed with this one, and hearing it can be got for as low as 90 dollars? Nothing better for the price I'm aware of, and the sort of thing that at THAT low a price, it would be a challenge to match what they give you in this pack scrounging on your own. Massively impressed by this one.

You must have made 50 + or even many more bags at this point, it would be interesting to know which ones you would choose to grab in an actual emergency depending on the situation

It's been a while😊 I'm glad you are back

That is actually a nice kit with good quality stuff at a good price.

That is one nice kit for a pre-made. Definitely a great way to get started in creating your own emergency kit!

You get a big thumbs up from me for that tourniquet and pressure bandage. 👍👍🙂

This is the first 72 hr survival bag that I have considered purchasing. But I would also add most of the things that you added. Thanks for showing this on your channel.

Excellent one for a starter project the one thing I would add is a stove like a esbit just in case.

Certainly one of the better bags at that price point. All of the stuff seems to be decent quality. I like the way they've organized everything. If you're outdoors, on the move, you're not going to have a nice flat table to lay everything out on. You neeed to be able yo grab it quickly. Your additions, as always, make it even better

You can use the biohazard bag to fill with leaves and use in your tube tent as a pillow or use as ends/doors for the tent. Lots of good uses for a big plastic garbage bag.

Finally someone actually makes a video on this kit.also the person who made bag originally sold it for 100 bucks

Good to see you back Eric! Excellent video and evaluation of the kit! Keep them coming! Thanks!

I love it when you take things out of the package and give us a real look. I was impressed with this survival kit a little less woodsy and a little more urban survival a little more focused on disaster and a little less? self-inflicted ? Something that would be good to put in your closet or maybe in your vehicle.

The back pack alone usually costs that much! Having everything for 2 people in one bag is great, especially if the second person is a child that can't carry all their own supplies. Can easily divide into a second pack to lighten the load. And the first aid kit is a lot better than most I've seen (didn't take much to make it a full trauma kit)! Time to get my bag out to switch to winter needs!

That's a pretty nice kit, it's almost complete and ready to use without adding to it, I'm glad to see the medical kit has things other than adhesive bandages because it's not the smell cuts that will give you problems it's the big ones. The fire steel is nice, I like the size of it 6x1/2 inch.

$90 on Walmart, ordered 3 as gifts. I will “kitbash” them before I give them away. I absolutely luv your vids, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us 👊 welcome back, we missed ya

One of the best kits i ever see.

I think this is the best value short term survival bag I have seen. And it’s for 2 people. Very basic and easy enough for even non preppers or beginners.

Hi again Eric! EXCELLENT additions to the kit! I have watched this video several times and can say it was one of my favorites! Thanks again!

A nice startup bag to get an earthquake bag going. My personal touch would be removing one of the food bag contents and putting in real food as it is a great morale boost to eat a warm meal. Probably some bean dish and a baggy of mashed potato powder. The Fieldmaster you added is a great knife i use it as my EDC knife. Matches and a lighter are always the first choice for fire lighting as it is the easiest way. Especially when you are cold and wet.

I always enjoy the addition of alcohol, I'm just not sure if it's quite enough😊😊😊😊

For the price point I don't think you can get a better base to kitbash for your personal & local environment needs. I really like the bag and how it's organized, too. If I can get those in my country I think I'm gonna finally make the jump and kitbash it with some of your channel help. Absolutely love your reviews and ideas, thanks !

Glad to know your adds at the end of these videos are appreciated by more than just me. 😊

the Company "Nextool" and "Roxon" have been really stepping up in the quality chinese multitool market. So i would absolutely add one of those good new LM Wave/Surge knockoffs to this kit!

A quick way to convert F to C is take the F times it by 2 and add 30= Celsius (Approximation) Example 8 degrees C X 2 = 16+30 equals 46 degree F. Awesome video

My first youtube post. Few small tips to Eric and all. A Clipper lighter: jerk the sparker assembly and rotate it 180 degrees and replace. Makes a very effective sparker even if the butane is empty.

Respect for unpacking all for us...👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼

Good to see a new video from you Eric, and a kit worth well more then the purchase cost

My main annoyance with so many crank light radios is they still come with micro usb cords. They really need to switch to type c. The massive ferro rod with whistle was a pleasant surprise, though I wish they also included matches. Need to include some leukotape wrapped around a gift card ;-)

Awesome video!!!!! So glad you're back!!!!!!❤❤❤ this is my budget area, thank you for showing!!!! Hope to see more soon, can't wait 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

It took me 72 hours to watch this. lol It is one of the better 2 person 72 hour bags I've seen you review. A lot more thought put into it than 2 glow sticks for three days sillyness. I'll have to put some of those turn liquid into a solid bags often sold with camp toilets into my more urban kits. You can't always go outside to do #1 & #2 in an urban disaster and may not be stuck close to an indoor toilet.

Thanks for the video. I really like how you do you videos.

Missed you, Eric! Great review as always!!!

Brilliant video, you have a new subscriber from London, England!

So glad to finally see a notification from your channel!!!!!

Good review Eric. I am impressed with this kit. Obviously your additions advance its capability but as purchased it stands up well. This would be excellent to just stow and forget in a vehicle as it is until needed.

id probibly add a little fishing kit, for moral as much as supplementing food.

Appears to be a value-added bag... I didn't notice that it had any fishing gear. Thanks for the video- I would seriously consider purchasing this bag.

Thank you for the excellent review. This is a decent starting point for those with limited time. I believe that many viewers could build a kit, customized for their area of operation, from what they likely have on the shelf. Customizing for your needs is truly important. Here is a real example of why I repeat this like a broken record! In our Philippine subdivision, there are few mosquitoes most of the time. The government claims this area is "dengue-free." Not long after that claim, a youngster contracted the disease. This occurred during the school year and he had been nowhere except between school and home. Knowing that malaria, dengue, and other mosquito-borne diseases lurk both here and in the more rural areas near us, I would absolutely include bug nets and repellants in all family members' kits. Know your area of operation!

Excellent video! I enjoyed how you didn't just talk about what comes with the kit, but also your enhancements to improve upon it. One suggestion would be to include both latex gloves and work gloves.

Great stuff, I always enjoy your reviews. Its been awhile, hope everything is good. Stay safe bro.🙏🇺🇲🙏🇺🇲

Awesome video!

Great to see you (at least your hands) again, Eric! 😂 Love these videos. There's something about them i just can't put my finger on; perhaps alternating sense of approval and disapproval at the survival items? Anyway, I find them both informative and strangely exciting. Maybe I need professional help? Maybe I need a bigger budget and somewhere to store all the bits I keep handy to make the 'ulitmate kit' someday. All the best from a very rainy Wales.

Interesting. I might pick this one up as a car kit.

Omg !! You remembered the jolly ranchers !! Lol Excellent video !! Love the additions …… Idea You Should do a backyard trial/test of your favorite kit and least favorite for comparison Even if you are not actually doing a “survival trip” it would be cool to see your awesome gear in use

I like watching your videos.

Im glad you're ok

This one looks really good

Great video Eric! Always enjoy viewing them. Have you thought about providing affiliate links to the kits you review? Might be a good way to raise some $$$ for the channel. Thanks for providing us with knowledge and entertainment!

I ordered this kit based on your video, just arrived today, so now I’m watching your video again while going through mine. It was too good to pass up and that price point

My advice.. The best thing you can do is to put together items of better quality yourself and put them in a sturdy bag. This will be a bit more expensive, but in emergency situations you will know it was worth the money

That knife is wild.. it looks like a cross between a Bob Terzuola and a $5.99 Temu flash sale.

My thanks for this review. I had been looking to possibly purchasing this product specifically. After the video dropped, I purchased three of these from Amazon for $79 each, which were on sale. I was hoping to snag another a few days later, but the price had gone up to $129.00

finnaly a new video

Pretty nice and comprehensive kit! I suppose it is the one that gets tossed into the trunk of a car and not really carried around. It's way too heavy! Great video and additions!

Random Rations to add- Glucose Tablets. They come in travel packs. They're a compact way to keep your blood sugar up in a fasting situation. Also, a small container of Coffee extract (from cooking aisle) will really help with the taste of the instant coffee. Just a couple drops needed for each cup (replaces the oils that the freeze drying process removes). Since it's an extract, it's also another source of alchohol if you need it topically.

You should do a survival kit with at lease one piece of gear from all the survival kits you have reviewed on this channel.

Welcome back😊

Howdy from Texas ! This video was my first review of your 'kit-bashing'... Good job ! 👍🏻 By the way, Is the paracord 'Survivorcord' ? If so, you should also reveal its CONTENTS, (and possible uses), I have some to supplement 'kits' that I build, and I am VERY impressed with it's "appbilities" ... Carry on !

❤ thank you

Thanks

I am really surprised you have never made a video about making a survival kit using items from Walmart before, those types of videos typically do very well. Obviously the gear won't exactly be top notch but it's the definitely accessible for most people.

Was fairly impressed with this kit. Of course judging by the shape of the rucksack and the luggage type layout, this kit is designed for the sort of people who would just stick it in the boot of the car, RV, home even aircraft. Serious outdoors types would have their own arrangements. Even so, no one is ever walking out of a situation until they are. I would suggest walking with this pack at least 5 miles, preferably 10. Even a lighter uncomfortable pack becomes a burden after a few miles. Just something as simple as repacking can make a lot of difference (less simple during an emergency). If the pack is very uncomfortable after a few miles for you it may need replacing if you can't fix the problem but better to know this before not during.

espectacular!!

I think that outside lined pocket is for fridge pack and medications that need refrigeration like insulin

I purchased mine from Woot for $71.00 including shipping over the summer.

The only thing I would added in the cutting department fix blade knife like Mora or some sorta fix blade for batoning to go with the folding saw and victorinox like ya did in the video. A folding shovel if there was room and also one those Arcturus survival tarp or Military poncho to go with the other cover as well course a small fishing kit with few those little mechanical reels. and small collapsible cookset with small gas stove. A way better compass. Definitely like the video and Content ya added especially the Silky saw victorinox water filter/purification tablets. In food it looks like one could fit a few ramon soups or some bouillon cubes.

I think the coolest thing about this bag is the gear netting and the velcroed storage pouches

TY for the Awesome Vid.! Can it be expanded to be for 3 person??

a very long time back. i was camping ( boy scout thing) and a much haver storm than thought hit, very heavy winds, rain. and yes a tube tent works great. this bag looks good. but between the two of us. you can pack it. bad back here. no longer that kid in a tube tent. now my camping has wheels.

A small mini Bible. You are adding Really Good Waterproof pad with a Pencil So far I have seen only one prepped added the mini small Bible. There are Bible with a size of a match box. I have seen it. God bless man. IAM trying to Watch Every Single Video of your Channel. Chris

Assuming 2 people, 6 Jolly Ranchers is 1 per person per day, not 2. Great video, thanks for sharing! If I were to add anything, I think I'd add a cheap pair of gloves or some disposable medical gloves. I know you mentioned a dry bag for clothes, but without that maybe a couple pairs of socks or hospital socks or something to wear in the sleeping bag if it's cold or wet. ...and yes, those "splinter probes" do look exactly like the other half's old finger-sticking lancets.

That looks useful.

I would still carry an EDC bag with personal choices for things like knives and Firestarters per person. But having an all in one bag is a good backup.

The common survival card thingy: run your compass by it and you'll see that the card is magnetized. All of mine are anyway. Hang it from a 3 foot thread and it makes an effective compass. Tie it at the exact center edge where the four wrench point is. Think that was coincidental? The knife edge also makes the best flint rod striker you'll find! Comfortable to use and throws masses of sparks!

Inflation costs for Walmart have increased the bag to US $120. I saw 3 bag color options: fluorescent orange, black, and black/fluorescent orange combo.

The side aluminium pocket might be useful for peoples with insulin.

Hard to beat at that price point, especially if you grab it for the $90 sale price! The only thing I don’t understand is why they but a folding knife in these kits instead of something like a budget mora? Still not bad and I’ll watch for that sale price to grab one😎🇻🇳

This might be the nicest premade kit on the market for the price. The items you added really made it outstanding. I wonder what the total weight was in the end.

On the cutting side. I would get the SMITHS pocket sharpener. They make two kinds. Get the pocket survival sharpener. As it comes with a sharpener, a honer, a serrated sharpener, a whistle, a Ferro rod, a compass, and a mini flashlight. The sharpener is also bright yellow. This would help to keep the blades sharp. I would also add some aluminum foil. And extra batteries or rechargeable batteries.

They are unavailable on Amazon as of right now, but i wish they sold the bag as either a tan variant and they also sold the bag separate as well cause i would love to have the bag for several different things that elastic webbing is the most ingenious things i have ever seen

Ive put Jolly Rancher candies in survival kits before, they seem like a good idea at first but they quickly melt messing up everything around them.

Those mask aren't any good for filtering dirt. I bought one for work for grinding stuff I didn't want to breath and my face was just as dirty under the mask as the mask was. Other than that this bag looks like an amazing start and just needs a little extra thrown in. I'm glad you're back its been a while since your last video.

I love all of your videos. They are very helpful to me and my family because some of those kits you done by have because of you got them and they’re very helpful so God bless you and your family. God bless the world along. PS thanks again keep on doing them please so helpful text one person to answer me.

I ordered two of these kits. Both kits were missing the Lifestraw, the advertised water and food. I contacted Amazon and they gave me credits for the missing items. Not enough but it’s something.

So if this for a two persons, what should the other person be carrying? Assuming both are equally capable. Or perhaps you would split the items of this bag into 2 equal bags, with room for additional gear in each?

Loved the IPad joke!

That compass id never rely on, too close to metal and electric current. Overall though, looks like a nice starter bag

Decent little backpack. Those zipper pulls if they’re not already fire tinders, replace them with actual tinder material. I mean, why not?

Prolly the best set so far, but it's still lacking in a lot of stuff, I would also drop an tarp, even the small/light one would be enough (preferably a poncho style tbh). You can use it literally for everything.

i always add a deck of cards as a moral booster

What kind of freezer dried coffee do you pack ?

Do you know if the water-bags will survive freezing temps in a car trunk without splitting open ? I know from experience that plastic bottles often split open when frozen and then drain out once they thaw. Very enjoyable review and mods !

One thing I would add would be some work or mechanic gloves.

Can you combine elements from the Esee, solkoa, surviveware 1st aid, and any other good kits (with your additions, if course) to make a "best" survival kit, pls?

Do you happen to have a list of items you added to this bag?

pulling it out' is always more exciting. (aside from 'not pulling out')

The CPR Acronym forgot Rescue Position at the end, it's very important so they don't aspirate if they reflux!

I would recommend pink flagging tape over orange as it is more visible in the woods ( blaze orange actually blends pretty well), also why not use procamptek tinder plugs or something similar, that tinder bag seems awful large for only 4 fire starts. The tinder plugs may fit in the whistle compartment.
