Thanks I didn’t know that it looked to me like the knife was still the design from the rebar so modifying the area of the back lock would have helped to resolve that situation! I’m happy they actually made a true UK friendly tool. I bet you are happy also except for the wallet portion of your happiness 🤣 at least it’s not too badly priced compared to some of leatherman tools!

No exactly at 4 minutes I opened the scissors maybe you missed it?

Check it out again definitely at 4 minutes and 0 seconds I pulled the scissors out

@@whitetailsurvival2430 Ok, I missed it, sorry.

⁠@@lancehednot a problem at all! I didn’t even realize I responded twice 😅

What is missing out of it? It looks like the other kits I’ve seen made by them.

Yea it’s IPX8 and you can find them on Amazon and acouple other places but I buy them off Olights website so I can use the rewards points I will leave the link here. Wait till the sales it will go down on price for sure www.olightstore.com/marauder-mini-powerful-led-flashlight

I agree I would rather have a small Swiss Army knife than the blades even something like a Gerber paraframe knife would be better than just a razor blade

Thanks bro I have a nice collection of Hurley T shirts and hats some of them are 15 years old I’ve had them since I was in school

Yea a Swiss army knife would be fine and definitely aquatabs or a frontier water straw would be good addition for sure! Thanks for the comment!

Yea they are an awesome little knife I carry a mini champ once in a while that would be an awesome addition. I have classic SDs in the mini kits I’m going to be selling

I actually got on the website 2 nights ago and ordered a kit off the website to check out I will probably order more as my supply gets lower it seems like he has a cool amount of stuff on there 40 dollar minimum order which is fine it’s probably hard to have free shipping with anything less than 40.

I literally only do it to break the singular view up plus some people don’t know how to accurately decipher an inch out by seeing it plus there are some ways that showing it in your hand makes a huge difference. I could tell everyone that a Medford praetorian T is a 8 15/16 inch knife and a benchmade crooked river is alittle over a 9 3/8 inches. Judging just by the tape it seems like the benchmade is way bigger but in fact the Medford is a giant compared to it. There are multiple ways to look at things. I’m in the construction field so I agree measuring is ultimately the best way to see a size but some people want to see how big it is in hand even though that ruler is right in front of me!

Yea they are good so far and the E1 is a cool tool. The only issue I have is getting the hobby blade out it’s hard to get it out.

Yea that’s half the reason I open them I don’t pre look online or anything I just buy them and open them. I love seeing what they include

That’s awesome I’m going to check that website out. I talked to the guy that made the kits and he’s just not interested in making anymore but it definitely was cool to check out thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!

Yea I would strap two ranger bands and a space blanket to the outside on one side and a water bag on the other side plus drop some purification tablets in the kit.

Thanks it was a cool one to review. Thanks for coming back again!

Thanks you I appreciate it and it’s good to see you back again watching and another comment! All the additional items you mentioned are excellent choices and that’s awesome you picked these up for family gifts. Esee makes good knives and this kit is all quality stuff. A survival blanket is always easy to add I always use two ranger bands. One on each end so it doesn’t snag going in my pack or pocket. They are hard to get on because of how sticky they are to the packaging but it also keeps them from slipping off. Thanks again see you on the next one!

You can use a square foot of tin foil or heavy duty tin foil to hold water for aqua tabs or just boil water

Measure the box width and make that a square. Make up a cube form out of basswood to fit your measurements and preform your foil into a cup. Carefully fold your cup flat and ranger band it to the can along with your blanket. I like pie tin aluminum sheet.

@@JohnH-rd3xythanks man that’s a great idea I definitely wanna try that out for sure!

Awesome additions dermasafe razors went rouge for a while and I couldn’t even find them the razors once in a while for 10 bucks or so and the saws were basically extinct maybe they are coming back but beyond that I have my own kit made up and I am going to do it after all these other kits are gone and I’m actually going to sell a few of them on the website when it is up! Thanks for the ideas!

@whitetailsurvival2430 cool, I'll watch for sure ... EBAY has like 50 different sellers for Derma safes , almost all China lol .. it's usually $12 for 10 of them .

I like your idea sounds like a good use of space!

Genuine question: if you make a wire saw into a bow-saw is it still junk? Also what if you get a quality one? I've only messed with them a little

Military issue wire saws are superior to the cheap, made in China garbage that usually comes in these pre-made survival kits. Sometimes hard to find, but worth the effort for a USGI wire saw.

@@gordontyree4308 I opened another kit and it had a British SAS survival wire saw and it felt about the same as this one

@@whitetailsurvival2430 I wish there was room in the tin for SAK like the biker! It has an awesome saw. I guess if your careful with the better quality wire saws you can make it work for short term survival situations. Thanks! Love your channel!

There are definitely worse one out there I have a couple to go over that aren’t the best but still marked as a survival kit so that’s what it’s going to be shown as 😂 I can’t wait for them comments

@@whitetailsurvival2430 Lol should be interesting I think the worst I've seen so far is the shade pocket capsule or the one that came in the handle of a Rambo #1 copy. It's cut down to only 13 inches and the kit came in a capsule. A mom bought for her son who was going to a survival school. I tried to convince her to get a real knife but no. Despite having to regrind it, the nut holding the blade to the handle kept coming loose. And you could see light through where it joined. I epoxied it in place then poured epoxy around it. The kit had three matches a strike pad so tiny it was useless the cut off ends of four matches that made me think. They were floats for the one fishing rig which had six feet of line. Not much else. I made a bag to fit on the handle and loaded it up with stuff proven to work plus medical. Then sealed it. I'd hate to be lost or hurt with just the gear they gave

Unless I'm mistaken, the ferro rod is a "Rat Match". Its half magnesium and half ferro rod. If im correct about what it is, there actually really good for a kit this size.

I feel like I answered this comment one already but I like the ideas you have put fourth! Good ideas and thanks for the view and comments

Thank you I appreciate that and thanks for the comment also!

I put a farmer in a kit I'm building for someone

If Esee puts a knife if there kit it automatically raises the price to 100 dollars minimum 😂 but your right for sure a little Swiss Army knife or small folder like a Gerber paraframe would be good addition to this kit for sure!

The Walker is hard to find for under $100 (ebay) the Walker is always out of stock on the official website ..

@@whitetailsurvival2430 Very true. The knife I made for the sardine tin would add at least 75 if I were to sell the kit.

@@dirtyscoundrel2013 that’s a good SAK for that situation I have three Swiss champs just the standard Swiss champ I love that tool

Thanks a lot I appreciate it!

I put temporary hair dye in my daughters hair with no gloves on and it dyed my fingers and nails for about a week now it’s just the nails left pink now waiting for the rest of the dye to go away. I keep my nails short because nails are the dirtiest nastiest thing on the humans body. I work with my hands in all different situations in the construction industry so my fingers get dry and hooked on pointy stuff all the time I can’t handle the skin hanging so I pull it off. I don’t wear gloves or use lotion so it is what it is brother. I’m not a pampered dimepiece I don’t like girly long nails and I don’t work in an office so that doesn’t work for me. Wipe your ass in a portapotty one time and tell me you wanna keep your nails long. Work on one greasy project like an engine or tractor PTO and you would be disgusted seeing that grease for a month. It doesn’t matter what you do it doesn’t come out. Beyond that I see the wire saw becoming a problem in these kits half the people love them half the people hate them. That’s a great idea!

Yea that’s a possibility it could help it out in that case it’s a very creative design for sure!

Absolutely that would open up a lot more space in the kit for other items great idea!

Medicine definitely is an awesome idea a headache or fever sucks when you’re out in the woods!

For one, leatherman bit kits are not even made in the USA!!! Secondly, I have every single leatherman made except for about 15 of them. I have more leatherman products than everyone I know. I do not need schooled on American goods I buy a lot of American made gear. It’s impossible to buy everything made in the USA. If you’re that hardcore you better take all your clothes and throw them right in the garbage because they definitely are not made here. If you have a thermos or vacuum insulated cup just throw it away too definitely China. On another note these bits are harder than leatherman bits. Leatherman bit kit is honestly not that good quality but the tools require those specific bits. Also at this point in time they are very hard to find I have 3 bit sets, 1 partial and two full kits so I don’t need a set. This is a good option to replace your already overseas leatherman bit kit if you needed to in a pinch. If you haven’t watched any of my other videos my leatherman wave+ is my multitool I carry at work everyday. It’s nice to see pride about buying American and frustration about things going over seas and becoming cheap but there’s nothing you or I could single handedly do to stop people from buying the cheapest thing made. It’s also impossible for the USA to make products cheaper with our minimum wage and supporting all the bums the country that do nothing except collect money. If USA corporations were not so greedy we could make a lot of product here and sell it for a regular price but that’s not what happens!

@@whitetailsurvival2430 Nextool is good, or at least good enough in my purview. I've had the pocket knife for almost 2 years now and the tension on the scissors are not only better than Victorinox's, but it still feels brand new. I also own the box multitool thingamajig and that's still in pretty decent shape after 6 months. Plus, I've heard nothing but good things about the Mini Sailor (though I've never really felt the need to get one). The E1 looks tempting, however. Even though half of Nextool's designs are iterative or stolen, I don't doubt these bits will last for a long time -- despite being made in China or wherever. They clearly got the manufacturing aspect right.

Leatherman bits are not even made in the USA to begin with if you flip it over it says Taiwan right on the package. Also these seem to be harder than the leatherman set it’s hard to tell though I need more time with them

@@whitetailsurvival2430doesn’t matter, no denying the leatherman bits are better quality. I still wouldn’t recommend leatherman bits though. I’m over buying cheap bits in general

Your absolutely right this kit is an awesome addition to your edc as a supplemental survival solution plus the items you would add are fantastic and would make an extreme difference in comfortability

Who is this Rulon-Gardner you speak of???

@@noktturnal Rulon Ellis Gardner (born August 16, 1971) is an American retired Greco-Roman wrestler. He won the gold medal at the 2000 Olympic Games, defeating Russia's three-time reigning Olympic gold medalist Aleksandr Karelin in the final. For me, he's the most famous guy I know, who got into serious survival situations after he fell into the freezing Salt River with his snowmobile. see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rulon_Gardner He is a tough guy 👍 and an example of mental strength.

I had a Ritter kit a while back I still have the knife and I’m not sure where the rest of the kit made its way too if I can find one I will order it. Now the gear pods are new to me I’m going to look for it also thanks!

Thank you I appreciate that a lot it means a lot to me! It pleases me to hear that!

Awesome! That’s a great list of contents to add plus a small morale booster! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

Great idea, something like a Gerber dime or nextool mini sailor would be great in that kit!

Can you recommend a cheap survival kit for a small kayak

@@KatYakfishingyes I can but where are you going kayaking how far out are you from civilization and what is your climate and time of year your taking your kayaking trip?

@@whitetailsurvival2430 summer in SW Arkansas and I float and fish on the cossatot river. My last float was around 36 hours total including camp

Thank you!

You can never go wrong with a bic that’s the best survival tool out there! I love that cordage also it’s pretty cool stuff! A teabag is also an awesome idea! I wouldn’t even mind a pack of instant coffee. Either one would do for me. My name is Brent if you would rather use my name rather than the channel tag I’m good with that! I’m happy you found my channel and you like the content I seriously appreciate that that! Thanks for watching and hopefully I see you in the comments on the next one! Thanks again John

I have both bags at my house one is a quart bag and the other is a half gallon bag which is your two quarts but they are a lot wider than the one in this kit so I’m assuming it’s a 1 quart bag I will try it out when I test the kit before I use the purification tablets I do like to know how much water goes in it before I use the tablets. A better light would be awesome I have put Olight i3e lights in my kits this size they are awesome little lights! Thanks for the comment!

@@whitetailsurvival2430 lmk when you find out how much water they hold pls

Yea you’re right for sure prices of everything are way up it’s insane!

I'm surprised at how much the maker got into an Altoids type tin! But you come out far better by using the tins as unitised kits and not stand alones. One with a baby Bic, cotton, ferro etc, one with coffee/tea/bouillon/salt/candy, one fishing kit, one medicals. Anyone that has one can tell you that a Brit .303 canvas bandolier holds them nicely.

Yea I thought about that myself. It’s nice when it comes in a small roll. And the matches even in a bag is ok this is still a pretty creative kit. Not to bad at all

@@whitetailsurvival2430 no it's not bad. I think with creative packing a Mylar blanket could fit in there. As for the pencil stub I put small ones in my kits. You're not writing a novel out there it's a note or map or last will and testament leaving everything to your dog. No need for the big one most include. Look at the monstrosity in the Coghlan sardine tin

Yea you’re right for sure there are better options. I’m a pinch it would work for sure but they probably are not as cheap for small bulk orders. I would be curious in my kit I put a ka-bar fixed blade but even that knife is China made but it was a reputable company that’s why I went with it. I only made 5 to sell to start

Availability and shipping. I can have China delivered in two days free of charge. El Salvador is $8 shipping and takes two weeks. I LOVE Imacasa machetes, especially their Marbles items, but shipping can often double the price.

Yea wiha bits are good. I normally use my ratchet driver with my wave+ and that allows me to use regular quarter inch bits. Leatherman bits are definitely soft steel. I’m going to test these nextool ones out to see how they work also maybe they are a little harder

Can confirm wiha haven't failed me as of yet.

I bought the doubled sided Wiha bits and they do wear out but far slower than the Leatherman's with the same usage frequency.

@@diegolainfiestayea these feel like they are harder steel than the leatherman bits only time will tell

Thank you I appreciate it and thanks for the comment!

Thanks for coming back again! The time for that is definitely up and coming I only have a few handfuls of it’s left to test!

A pencil sharpener is a good idea making tinder with one is awesome. I don’t necessarily need a pencil sharpener to sharpen a pencil though. I don’t keep a sharpener at work with me while cutting lumber and whatnot, if my pencil gets dull I simply sharpen it with my knife. I do think it would be a cool addition to the kit though! I do like the idea of using it as a cordage cutter! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching I appreciate that a lot!

Nice tip!

Yea a mini bic would be a premium item in a survival situation! I also thought it was odd that there wasn’t a whistle in this one. Thanks for watching
