I have friends that are from several different paths interested in this. priest, teacher, mechanic, engineer, nurse... Heh even the Swedish crown princess has been taught by Lars Fält (look him up) about these things, so literally all walks. I think we humans are more or less "programmed" to do basic prepping over Millenia of war/famine/natural disasters... Our ancestors always carried at least a cutting tool and knowledge of fire making and how to make stuff to improve the chance of survival, everything from a simple birchbark cup to string, traps and some basic plants that are edible.

We (Beautiful Bride & family) appreciate the upgrades. A short walk into the jingle in our tropical environment can turn deadly without the ability to rehydrate. My general preference is to house a kit inside a container that may also be used to pasteurize water and cook food. Some means to store collected and processed water is important. Electrical tape or quality duck tape on the container's seams will help keep the contents dry if that is important to you. The tape is also an additional fire extender

I can't help but be honest here It's a nice simple kit and what you did made it way better. But truthfully in the original assortment of stuff that was in there you can find and but it all for packs of 5 or 10 for anywhere between $1 too at most $3 dollars and make yourself a ton of these kit's too toss in the truck back pack wife's car and so on and probably still be under the cost these kit's usually cost. I'm not trying too knock the guy's hustle I'm just being honest. I purchased a 10 pack of those derma safe blades for literally a $1.50 and you can buy those button compass for a buck and get 5 too 10 of them and so on. The most expensive part of that kit was the tin itself and the water purifying pills.

Hi Eric! I’m back again after posting my first comment and watching this video again. Once again, I’m putting in a good word for Wazoo Survival Gear! Wazoo markets a one liter emergency water bag that you can purify water in with tablets OR you can actually boil water in! The bag is rated up to 400 degrees, is extremely light weight and folds down very small. You could probably get two of these bags in the tin for the same space as the MRE bag! I started including the Wazoo bags in all my survival kits! Just wanted to share this with you. Definitely worth checking out! Again Eric, glad you are back and looking forward to your future videos!

Don't use the lid to trace out the mirrored film. Trace the bottom of the tin as the template for the mirror. That is the smallest dimensional plane that fits inside the lid. The protective film could be removed from the mirror (or not), replacing it with the fresnal lense that would protect it. You could also wrap the orange 100 lb cord around a mandrel, i.e., the whistle. Secure the ends with a tab of tape. Note: all of the unused real estate inside and outside of the tin. Stickers or metal etching could put useful info on those surfaces. Morse code, purification tablet directions, whatever...

A good trick for the firestarters is squish them in a vice or hammer them, they flatten right out. You will need to re-fluff them when going to use them but you can fit like twice as many. You may need to submerge them in some warm water first if they dont stay flat.

The only gripe I have about the " pocket sized edc kit" is the lack of room in the tins. Overall, it's a good idea, but one is soo limited in room. I have watched many many videos on this idea thru the years, and a lot of you tubers suggest using a belt pouch in conjunction with the tin to make available room for items that just won't fit inside the tin. I have seen some of them suggest a belt pouch for a cell phone, which I thought was a good idea. It's obvious that they are for cell phones and I'm sure a lot of people just assume that a phone is what is inside the pouch. They don't draw attention to you. Well, just wanted to share my thoughts with you on this subject.

I always melt a candle over cotton balls. The wax turns them into malleable little bricks that gives you a 5 mins burn time. Probably get 3-4 bricks per ball. Im thinking of dipping one corner in crushed match heads to help it to spark up quickly. But not sure it would be safe

@@KitbashedSurvival north germany. Same height as Edmonton, Alberta, Ca. We are next to gulf stream. So it is not that cold, but often cloudy and damp. So if you need a fire to stay warm, you need a lot of energy to start it. But then it is often cloudy and the light too diffuse for a small lens. But old me loves them. Have allways one around. Unplanned stop with the road bike or at a store. Repairing small parts with fingers covered in oil and sand? No problem any longer.

I like that kit with your additions except for the cordage. The 2' of paracord provides a total of 16 feet of cordage with seven inner strands plus the outer sheath. I don't recognize the cord you subbed, but it doesn't look that versatile. I would rather substitute a much longer length of thin Kevlar cordage or a much longer length of fishing line, fine dyneema line or maybe even dental floss. A mere 3 feet of cordage, even if it is 100 lb. test is not very useful.

How much id Performance charging for this diminutive kit?? Did you mention that?? The value of a kit like this is its contents weighed against it cost. Most people would be far better off to spend a few dollars and make their own kit that contained items that would actually be helpful in a 3 day plus situation. These little kits are fun to put together but about as practical as mud in the rain. Ax
