  1. I completely agree with everything in this video, but would only say to emphasize your first aid more. A small cut can rot extremely fast without modern medicine, and a small sprain can be debilitating or even fatal if you can't move to do what you need to. Spot on otherwise though

  2. I just reserve that bucket my local library. I’m doing a hike from San Francisco up to British Columbia in search a few mushroom mushrooms. In the United States this year because I’m mushrooms in Oregon

  3. Small portable solar panel with rechargeable headlamp and flashlight instead of anything with disposable batteries or that can burn up like a candle. I bought one of those usb solar panels and it folds up to about 10 inch by 6 inch and is incredibly thin, you won't even notice it in a pack. You don't want to be out there and not be able to tell what's around you. That's one little piece of advice for a pack. Also, metal water bottle for boiling water after you run it through a light filter.

  4. Some people pack fish hooks and line, but have you ever tried to fish with a stick? I pack a little two piece ice fishing rod and spinner, and a couple of generic soft-baits. Then again, I live in "the land of 10,000 lakes" so no matter how lost you get you're never very far from a hungry walleye.

  5. Well I guess you’re wrong because Mother Nature tires to kill you daily! In The woods Mother Nature is like a black widow spider she makes it look very enticing and you have to escape her grip once your escapades is over. If your talking to survivalist then why do they try and teach techniques to sustain your stay. Anything can happen in the woods but to survive it is another story. TO BE IN A SURVIVAL SITUATION YOU LACK CERTAIN GEAR otherwise you wouldn’t be in that situation if you had it. Having a certain piece of gear or item saids you have the skill set necessary to operate it and utilize it properly. Of course there are idiots that think they know how to use or do certain activities with proper equipment 🤨 and DON’T!!!!? Mother Nature in her grand design made it 😢 so you will die one day and all living things must die eventually so to me that statement is false. When engaging treks no matter how small anything can happen life threatening. Your determination and knowledge can or will prevail, but for a lack of gear necessary to aid you can make or break you. Just like a lack of knowledge. Mother Nature does not give you an instruction manual while your out there, your relying on knowledge handed down by others and hopefully that knowledge is very acute and trustworthy. When… you have so many fake survivalist on YouTube in that their GLAMOUR is going to get someone killed trying there doppelgänger techniques and not been truly tested or have never been in a survival scenario a day in there life or lifestyle. Creative scenarios are prefigured to allow a person to walk away unscathed DAVE CANTERBURY is one of those individuals and lots more who follow his stuff. You guys are not thinking thing’s thru!!!

  6. You can survive longer than 3 weeks without food, I got sepsis in 2020, thought I had covid because the symptom's were just like I had the flu and covid had just started..coughing, shuddering chills, splitting head when I coughed, stinky sweats, cluster headaches, loss of appetite, I suffered at home for a month without eating because I thought I'd just ride the covid out for two weeks, but I never got better, I started to feel like I was getting better but it never progressed to full recovery, so then went to the hospital and thats when I found out I was very lucky to have survived a very nasty case of sepsis.

  7. also you can buy a large pack of lighters for not even 5$ and that alone will last you a few years. quick and easy. And to go a step further you can wrap the handles of all of your lighters with duct tape! just a convenient and lightweight solution to some issues you might encounter.

  8. I certainly love the last tip: If you're stuck in a survival situation, a book is great for moral and a survival book is even helpful. Although i'm not carrying yours yet, i am carrying one in my emergency rucksack in the car. A hatchet and those "pocket chainsaws" are also nice, esp. for cars. As far as a medikit goes: Imo the most overlooked items in those are a nail file, a pair of scissors for nails, something for tick removal (the particular item depends on personal preference i guess), hand sanitizer and some wound desinfectectant. (I throw these into all my medikits.) Also, a nice pair of thick gloves is worth carrying.
    Other things i like to have around: The Titan Survival emergency sleeping bag and blankets, their SurvivorCord v1 (not the v2), the Bahco Laplander folding saw, the Morakniv Bushcraft Survival, some fatwood, a roll of toilet paper, a couple of packs of Kleenex, a snack and… wait for it: A bag of treats and a can of dog food for the dog plus folding bowls. You never know when you get stuck for the night when travelling with the dog: Traffic jam in winter/car breakdown with no cell service/…
    More of a car item imho: I also love to have a folding shovel on board. (Winter/mud/… you know…)
