Have you thought about using hot glue to attach the compass to the outside, and maybe a mirror? They sell that stick on rear view mirror you can easily cut to size. You could also glue on a button thermometer. And glue the match Striker on the inside. Maybe the back inside or side wall. I know a small fire Striker could be glued to the outside somewhere, one of the ends? It would open up the inside for more room.

An extremely well thought out kit. One small suggestion for those on a budget. Walmart has rolls of mirror duct tape. Peel off a piece and stick it on a piece of thin cardboard. Something like a cereal box. It works extremely well. Takes up almost no space. You can even cut a hole in the center for directional signaling. Plus it's really cheap. You can make a ton of them for pennies.

Good idea and for very little weight. Useful to have two to check your back for ticks etc. For sun signaling it's useful to have 2 if you are trying to shine to someone in front of you if the sun is behind you, otherwise the useful area is very small as it's so oblique. But for signalling any distance, mirrors have to be VERY flat. Either glass or the thick plastic ones made for the job. The one in my Suunto compass is pretty useless for signalling a long way as the light would spread out too much.

I have 50 years of bushcrafting ( even before that was a word, or what it was called) experience, 10 years in the ARMY as a paratrooper, and spent several months alone in the mountains of Alaska. I have said before, and I repeat it here. with a kit that size ( and even more so the "Altoids tin kits" ) that if you could survive a situation with that kit, you would almost certainly survive nearly as comfortably with out it. if you are going into the woods, a small lightweight haversack with an actually functional kit that includes something to keep you off the ground ( convection is more dangerous than exposure to cold air in the same temperatures ) something to keep weather off of you ( in the form of a small tarp, with ways to pitch it into a shelter) a full sized fixed blade knife, and a way to gather, disinfect, and carry water ( a steel bottle, preferably with a steel nesting cup) would actually effect your survivability. I have shown on my channel more than one way to pack a kit filling all of these needs in a very easy to carry, comfortable kit that usually comes in under 5 lbs dry ( but EVERY kit I make has a steel water bottle and nesting cup) I know it is trendy, and makes for a lot of views, but this kind of "kit" is likely to cause more harm than good. you also do not address that the very best gear on the planet can not help you if you do not have the training, and skills to use it effectively. if you have read this far, I want to say, I am not trying to call you out specifically, just stating that in reality, most of the items in this type of kit are more fluff than substance. one thing I will call you out on specifically is the several mentions of suturing. 1) an untrained person should never try to suture a wound. 2) the cordage in paracord is not suitable for this at all and is very likely to just destroy the skin around the wound causing further harm. and 3) sewing a wound closed with out cleaning it properly is almost certainly going to cause severe infections, that are often much worse than the original wound.

A great kit you have assembled. We especially appreciate the heads-up about the outdoor mosquito patch product. We have not seen or heard of that before. In the tropics, many of our skeeters carry bad things like malaria and dengue fever. When a local government says "There is no dengue in this area" and then a grade-schooler who never traveled futher than between home and school during the school year contracts the disease, we think it prudent to always protect yourself. Hopefully, a local pharmacy or sporting goods shop will stock it or be able to order the product. I think it will be very popular among the outdoor set here. Thank you James for another superior video.

I like the thought & effort put into this kit. There are a few things you mention I don’t think I have ever seen before. It looks like this is being used in combination with your everyday carry items like the multitool you have (one of the things I was going to suggest until I saw you had one). If you were going to use this as a stand alone pack not including items like a knife, flashlight or multitool you have on you, I would personally swap out the knife for a backlock knife. They are generally inexpensive (you can buy good budget locking knives for $20 or less) and can really go to work like a fixed blade without fear of seriously cutting yourself. I would also trade the flash light for a light that has settings for low lumen. This kit seems to be geared toward survival in the wilderness. In that case, I would rather have a flash light I can run on the lowest setting for like 70 hours instead of a light that only has a high setting and burns out in 10. The only reason I bring this up is these are the items as well as a multitool that you are most likely to actually use/need.

Well thought out and organized. Only things I would do differently is packing the signal mirror and fresnel lens on the top, and adding a whistle which is also readily accessible. I would rather signal for rescue as soon I was in trouble and hopefully get found/rescued before I would need to survive for an extended or indefi6 period.
@WayPointSurvival

I always carry a whistle on my keychain and so that would be a redundant item. Also, the reason that the mirror and Fresnel lens is packed in the bottom, is that they are flat and fit better in that position.

@@WayPointSurvival One is none and two is one, so redundancy isn't a bad thing. Especially if you aren't alone and it's you and at least one other personI in a survival situation dependent on that one kit, or if the first whistle gets lost or stops working for some odd reason. I understand that the lens and mirror are flat, which is why they'd also fit well up in the lid of the tin. At least just the mirror, just to have something to signal with readily accessible. Another simple solution would be to sand, smooth, and polish the outside bottom of the tin, making the tin itself a signaling mirror.

The only thing I did to a similar kit is to make the flashlight less prone to loss or damage. If any of my lights don’t come with an attachment point I just use a small Dremel bit from the inside to the outside. You can bend a jumbo paper clip through it and wrap it in duct tape. Cut a piece off of a friction strip and wrap it around the barrel for extra grip. The know the friction strips you put on your walkway during the winter to prevent falls. And always keep your lights inside your clothes when winter comes. Standard alkaline batteries simply don’t like the cold. It don’t work very well when it gets near to freezing.

@@WayPointSurvival That’s one video I’d like you to do. Ways you could help avoid mechanical injuries in the field. That’s why I’m a big believer in lanyards to help secure your gear. No piece of gear is worth your life. I assume you’ve covered plenty of tips on how to stay safe in the woods. One of the first tips I learned is to make sure your walking stick / hiking staff your height or higher. Make it shorter and you will run the risk of impaling yourself on it in a fall. I use a cloth luggage strap connected to a metal shower curtain ring. To the ring I can simply connect a carabiner connected to a wrist strap. The carabiner can be connected to my belt and the strap buried in my cargo pants pocket. You can also use the carabiner like a clamp to hold the wrist strap to the and of your sleeve or just inside the collar of your shirt. That makes it a 4 way carry item. I saw a couple of small bags years ago for carrying a small USB memory stick. It was just big enough to hold six AAA batteries. I tied them to the outside of of my flashlight. That gave me spare batteries I could find in a instant day or night.

Probably the best Altoids kit I've ever seen! Only substitution I would make would be head lamp for flashlight so could work hands-free

Thanks so much! This flashlight could be adapted to fit onto a headband which could probably be fashioned from the paracord.

Mine is VERY similar to yours. Basically, different pouch. The rest is about the same, except my knife for my kit ia a V Victorinox Huntsman. It has 7 sharp edges between blades and tools that can cut, slice, saw, or rip. My pouch is a tad smaller. Its contents are specifically made for my personal skillset. Has the ingredients to attain all the primary needs, if you have the skills to utilize contents. Nice kit man. You did well. Thanks for sharing. Ben

Excellent pouch, I have one similar attached to my edc bag. Condor doesn’t get enough attention, I have an edc pouch by condor that I’ve been carrying for a couple of years now that’s served me well and it’s just as good as the maxpedition equivalent. Great video sir, always look forward to what you’re sharing with us each week.

No whistle. The lighter top should be protected so it doesn't discharge. Good kit.

I always carry a whistle on my keyring so that would be redundant. The lighter top is in no danger of discharging. I've carried a Bic lighter in my pocket for years and never had a problem with the gas leaking out from the lever being depressed and I carry a lot of other things in that same pocket as well.
