It's interesting seeing these and your unscripted reaction on opening the kit. Showing the fact that these cheap kits have a large chance of not including all the items does help spread awareness of that fact. Your testing and showing how little it takes for some items to break, is also useful for anyone who might have these as their ownly survival items. The quality of the items can range widely. and it helps to do your research and find the kits with the better quality gear if you aren't going to build a kit yourself. Unfortunately, this usually means you need to pay more for quality premium kits.
I think it's really important to state that a pocket kit like this should only be a supplementary last ditch kit to the items in your bag. and kept on your person in the event you are seperated from your bag by a dunk in a river, slide down a ravine, or wild animal after your food.
That being said. even one of these cheap kits is better than nothing.

Mike, that is a great idea with the wire saw! Would have never thought of it. That looks like a 'high quality' saw. Every one I ever tried to use broke, usually either at the snap ring or at the center from being over stressed. A quick FYI: NEVER use any type of petroleum based product (vasoline, or even butter) on a burn. It can cause major infections, prevent healing due to making an air tight layer over the burn area, and it can actually cause the burn to get worse if applied right away after the burn occurred before running cold water over the area and cooling it down. Using petroleum jelly products isn't taught in any first aid classes anymore, in fact, they have been teaching not to use it for over 10 yes. Cool clear water is the best initial treatment followed by a loose dry dressing until proper medical treatment/aid can be given.

Just for your information the rats tq while much better than the iv tq included in the previous kit it is not used in combat or by the military or emergency services or is it tactical combat casualty care approved except for use on k9s it suffers from coming loose very easy and form very high oclouson. Pressures which means it actually kills more tissue and causes more pain and requires more force to stop bleeding in comparison to a cat or soft t wide or any of the other tccc combat approved tqs there's a list of around 5 of Them though you will see that they are all much wider than that rats one and that they nearly all follow the same couple of designs with some differences

Enjoyed your presentation as always. So I was thinking that the scalpel c o u l d have had a purpose in fish/game preparation. The ONLY wire saw that has held up was part of CIA/military issue. and it was originally part of a surgical kit for bone cutting. It also occurred to me that a 3 or 4 length of saw blade could be part of a kit, and lashed to a branch as a handle. IF there was paracord or bankline. A mylar space blanket would have been a good item, as well as a few aspirin/paracetamol/Ibuprofen tablets, and a few birthday cake candles. And if memory serves, you already made a comprehensive video on snares/traps. using a plush toy rabbit for demo. ATB!

In all honesty, who wouldn’t expect the French to pack half-decent food in an MRE
But more seriously, thanks for making this video: the classic SAS survival tin is a subject I’m glad to hear you expound on, since I’m trying to put one together myself. It’s no small feet, since the simple facts of container size and effective packing often elude me. [/future video hint]
In particular, thank you for addressing the wire saw in more detail, answering every single one of our last round of comments in the process! Indeed, if the last two videos had come out in the other order, then all of the know-it-alls like me would’ve kept our mouths shut!

How much energy would you expect to expend getting even a Silky Pocket Boy to fit inside that tiny tin Wire saws are ONLY for pocket emergency survival kits. No one would pack that out as their only saw. That would be mental. If you get to try out a US military wire saw, you'll find that it uses rings and that the wire is attached to the rings with set screws so that you can reattach the wire to the rings, if it breaks and keep on sawing, although with a shorter blade. It's considered a serious bit of kit over here, under the right circumstances.

Hello mate, I like your videos very much and I want to thank you for keep making them.
That saw is actually made for cutting flesh and bones, it is a surgical saw, it won't overheat and not gonna pinch either, also no need to make that weird moves with your shoulders while using it in a right way: D
Unfortunately, this saw is a small marketing trap many survivalist have got into.
Surely you can cut small branches with it, but its will snap, when overheated because of its structure.
Peace.

Hi mate I would love to see you trying an Australian MRE. I've never had one but would like to know your thoughts on them. Cheers
Thanks for teaching all these skills and going over stuff you have done 100 times in these videos. I think it's all super great for anyone to know.
A trapping video could be cool too it's all handy to know.
Also what's a good raincoat/ jacket I got a job recently that requires me to work in the rain sometimes

Still say that if you put the wire saw on a bent green stick to make a bit of a bow saw it would be more efficient and take less effort to use. The first part of this was written before you did what I suggested. I have seen you use those adjustable micro pulleys before and have went on line trying to find some but have not had any luck. Could you point us in the right direction on where we could get some

I loved what you did with the wire saw. I saw what you were up to pretty quick and I loved the ingenuity. I think these companies should really work with someone like you (or you) to test and improve their kits. It would go a long way to making their kits the best they can be plus with someone like you they could link to your videos to show how to use the items in their kits.

Looking forward to more survival kits, and the honest comment on them. Good to see that you open them real timeto see something is missing.
For the ration kits perhaps Danish and Dutch
Hoping that next time there will be a fishing kit in there. For the trapping and snaring please do a video on that, loved the video about the munkjack and the hunting of that.

Proper way to use saw on bent stick. Cut two notches in stick ends using saw. Insert wire into cuts using the ferrule as a stopper. not the looped ends. Then no stress on loops. Lasts way longer. I personally use a actual piece of chainsaw chain. I use a 2 long SS 2mm bolt and nuts in ends. I put little piece hose over bolts. Cool video

I prefer this over the other one. It had a lot of gimmicky trash that you'd already have better versions of with you. Unless it was in your car and you didn't bother packing a knife, rope, etc. But for camping, not to terrible, lots of stuff you might not think to carry like a backup saw, backup fire starting kit, etc.

personally with the scalpel I don't believe in having a dedicated proper knife in something like a small survival tin, if it's legal to carry such a thing anyway just edc it, and if it's not legal to edc it having it in the tin won't change that, like a tin should be there to compliment an edc, not be a standalone kit

Really enjoying this series. Have you considered creating outdoor survival kits catering to forest, woodland, barren, foothill, lakeside, or coastal areas tailored to either summer and winter seasons The basic stables will mostly remain the same, but the geography and season specific items will add flavour.

That smaller kit would go nicely in a trunk box along with tow straps, road triangle and other emergency don't hit me while I'm changing my tire' type items and gear. Saw: With the other saw, the one with the keyring loops, could you replace the keyrings with heavy duty locking carabiner

My husband and I are into archery and you're not supposed to leave the bow strung on any bow except for compound and crossbows because the tension is released on them. It stretches your bowstring out and weakens it. :) It doesn't surprise me that it's the same with a bow saw.

The salt and the sugar can be used with the razor blade as a means to catch small game. Put the razor blade in the Crack of a limb. Surround the razor with the salt or the sugar. Animal licks the salt or sugar and cuts tongue on razor. Bleeds to death. Dinner is served.

Don’t they give you instructions or at least a list I. e tampon for wound packing or tampon for fire starting. I think at the end of this series you should put together your own emergency survival kit using items you found most useful from all those you try.

an alcohol swab is used for things like before giving an injection or you could use them for sterilizing a needle if you need to remove a splinter for example, but as an ex ambulance officer can i suggest not using it on a wound, that would hurt like hell lol
