Also, a small hacksaw like that (with small teeth) is handy if you need to cut metal. Let’s say, for example, you want to make fishing lures from a tin can.
Another good video Eric. I have never liked the cord grenade style kits and the first five minutes of the video confirms why. The kit you built up at the end was awesome. Really impressed that it all fitted in the tin. Congratulations on the steady build up of subscribers, well deserved.
I really enjoy your videos, and your upgrade ideas. I always add 6 or 8 inches of duct tape, just to repair the water bag if needed. Keep up the great work.
Found your site the other day and enjoying it quite a bit. I've also gotten ideas on what to put in and not put into my own kit. Thanks. Just thinking that the clips to make a bracelet aren't redundant. You could use the cordage you have to make a bracelet as a part to hold onto the cordage.
You can use the little saw blade as a striker. Some of the ferro rods you can get at harbor freight come with a short saw to use as a striker. Kind of a pain but they do work. Good video
so if you need to quickly get down a cliff or something because a bear is chasing you. this thing will be useless. or to use it to toss to someone to reel them in, say hey wait a couple minutes! nice review. I knew this thing was a gimmick. thumbs up for you!
if ya wrapped the paracord around the outside of the box . i think that would be an option . in my opinion , i would find a stone with an edge and throw that wire saw in a creek . due to the fact that after cutting a branch , a bit bigger than your thumb , the saw gets clogged and the energy it takes to cut that branch isnt worth the one branch that renders the saw useless .
Like your videos, the little saw you were talking about is a striker for the other ferro rod it's a piece of hacksaw blade to use for strikers 'cause it's hardened.
So on that lil blue hack saw blade if one side of it has a burr it will make a great ferro rod striker. Is there some where you can buy those red tins you used or is that from something else you cannibalized, also have you thought bout putting the whistle on the outside in case you need it so you don't have to unpack the whole kit?
Always great reviews and ideas. I am wondering if you did a video on just the metal containers and where to get them? I don't even know how to search for them. Thanks.
Wrap the cordage around the smaller box? Regarding the ferro rod, I got myself the polymath spitfire plus set, my word it’s fantastic for not that much cash. I got a freebie too a single Kendal mint cake sweet which was nice of them.
I wish you would sell or give away some of your kits. They are bad ass and well thought up. People could use your kits. Or better yet build and design a bad ass kit your self and sell on your page. Keep up the good work man.
Looks good, well-crafted, but totally impractical, like all of these types of kits. I have carried one of those credit card knives in my wallet, and never had any issues with it opening.
The small Swiss army knife is probably the price of 2 of of those grenades. So safe to say grenade kits are just a bunch of start off components only in your opinion respectably of course
After seeing that fake Swiss army knife, you can understand why they gave you the wallet knife. In comparison that wallet knife is looking pretty damn good if you ask me.
I've always wanted to open up my survival grenade but then I would have to replace it. I only have it for the "cool" factor. I have plenty of other self made quality kits. I do like what you did with this one. Awesome stuff as always.
Enjoyed the vid. I have to comment on the credit card knife, i purchased 1 several yrs sgo and I've carried it in my Mapedition wallet ever since. It's def not my go to knife as i edc several knives rotating them every several weeks. I have forgotten its even in my wallet. I've been to court and I've traveled out of state it's been along for the ride. You can't carry ur typical edc knife thru airport check points but the credit card has never been an issue, once again i do forget i have it because its so thin. The other comment is i believe that the short blue saw was a striker to the additional Ferro rod that was attached to the paracord. I've seen similar strikers and ferro rods in Harbor Freight. Thx again Subscribed!
bit of blade thats blue is your striker wire saw is reasonable i used one for pruning branches i couldnt reach, watch for it snagging but does work but for normal cutting rig it with a branch as a bow saw
Survival grenades, if made by oneself, seem like a useful idea, for keeping bits of paracord that aren't long enough to fit on a roll (nor, big enough to constitute a hank) . Y'know, while carrying odd ends of things. That being said, I'd still rather have a tin.
Hey better than nothing for sure I could use it all for sure I lived under a bridge for a year with just a bow and arrows beetle spins lures and zebco 33 and a fire steel and sleeping bag and that's it I lived pretty dam good to
Hey Eric. I like the amount of cordage that comes with it, but CR's not really crazy about the price point and some of the items within. I do like how you "re did " it up tho. nicely done man. so really how long did it take to get the cordage off? All the best from CR.
I've been keeping one of those black credit card knifes tucked away in my wallet in one of those kinda hidden slots for over 3 year's now with it never opening on me. It's their as a last ditch knife incase I lost my regular edc knife somehow.
I you are careful, you could roll the vinyl tape back onto its self. Make a new roll of electrical tape. You can never have enough electrical tape. Just ask any electrician. It’s almost as good as duct tape. If you have a cut, just put electrical tape on top of your band aid and it’s super waterproof.
The grenade survival systems, do they go with a bang? Keep up with the explosive content! 😜 You are da bomb! Whumpf...... That’s enough bad punnage for now.
As a previous chef I would never buy a cheap knife, I work in Forrest's now and o always have my Victoria Knox army knife Don't forget to care for them a dull knife is worthless ! ☺️
I've seen those fero rod buckles before, most of the ones I've seen dont work at all, they seem to be fake. Two obvious issues are the time taken to open, and what to do with the contents after you've opened it, your clothes may be soaked so you can't just bung it in your pockets, probably loose stuff anyway doing that. It's a nice idea, but not for me. Enjoyed the video mate. Regards Wayne
I want one of these grenade kits just to see how many of the morons in my area (sacramento area in california) freak out thinking it’s an actual grenade. Had one call the cops one time saying I was brandishing a combat knife because I opened a package with my Swiss Army Knife. Apparently the word “army” makes it a super dangerous combat knife. Lol
6 ibuprofen, two benadryl, two Imodium. . . .my man ALWAYS adds that to every kit. Love it
Mine has 8 paracetamol, 6 sodium diclofenac (voltaren) and 2 Buscopan. I want to get some Imodium and antacids.
I always wait for him to add those too!
Could you please make a video about where you get the anti-nausia tabs, the individual water tabs, the different containers, etc?
Can we see your collection of Swiss Army knives in another video??
hmmm, I think the grey bit at the top was probably a separate bracelet. that would make sense with the buckle you found inside.
I thought so too, and the compass was meant to stay on when I was watching
@@bluey1610 l
Great video! ! The little hack saw blade is the striker for the ferro rod . AWESOME job .
Oh yeah, duh. Thanks!

Fairly certain that blue 'saw' is actually another striker. I've bought dollar store ferro rods that came with a striker that looked like that.
That's correct. I didn't realize that until after the fact.
Probably More Cordage than you'd need...
Dollar store ferro rod? In what dollar store?
Awesome video and kit! Keep them coming!!
Nice kit. I like the way you can get it all to fit and it looks nice.
I really enjoy your videos, and your upgrade ideas. I always add 6 or 8 inches of duct tape, just to repair the water bag if needed. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
You very creative and well-grounded in the basics...thanks for the video
Love the way you repacked the kit. I’d buy it the way you did it 👍🤙. Great channel 😊
Excellent survival kit. The home made ones are always the best
Sorry, but I died of hypothermia in the time it takes to open this!
lol, right?
i died of starvation and heat exhaustion before i get the thing open
I died from a vicious bear attack, because I wasn't paying attention while trying to get this open.
Found your site the other day and enjoying it quite a bit. I've also gotten ideas on what to put in and not put into my own kit. Thanks. Just thinking that the clips to make a bracelet aren't redundant. You could use the cordage you have to make a bracelet as a part to hold onto the cordage.
Thanks!
The ferro rod is on its own loop so you can where it as a necklace or have it wrapped on your wrist 👍
I've had a c.c. knife in my wallet for years.
Also have a survival grenade, but I think its a last ditch thing. When all else is lost.
You can use the little saw blade as a striker. Some of the ferro rods you can get at harbor freight come with a short saw to use as a striker. Kind of a pain but they do work. Good video

Yeahh I love this videos
Thanks!
Wow. very nice. Good job man!
The “grenade” packaging is cute, but in an emergency, you’ll probably wish you had something that didn’t take ten minutes just to open.

Don't know if I would have used the " color " tin for worry about the color leaching out into what you are heating up . Other than that great kit
Like your videos, the little saw you were talking about is a striker for the other ferro rod it's a piece of hacksaw blade to use for strikers 'cause it's hardened.

How about a sardine can survival kit.
I've got a couple. I'll review them at some point.
Always great reviews and ideas. I am wondering if you did a video on just the metal containers and where to get them? I don't even know how to search for them. Thanks.
Do your best
Wrap the cordage around the smaller box?
Regarding the ferro rod, I got myself the polymath spitfire plus set, my word it’s fantastic for not that much cash. I got a freebie too a single Kendal mint cake sweet which was nice of them.
Love this video dude. You think it took for ever to take apart? Spare a thought for the guy that wrapped it in the first place haha
Awesome
Do you have survival stuff too?
@@flarion00 yeah plenty lol
I think that small bit of hacksaw blade was supposed to be used as a striker for the first ferro rod
I wish you would sell or give away some of your kits. They are bad ass and well thought up. People could use your kits. Or better yet build and design a bad ass kit your self and sell on your page. Keep up the good work man.
Perhaps one day. Thanks!
Looks good, well-crafted, but totally impractical, like all of these types of kits.
I have carried one of those credit card knives in my wallet, and never had any issues with it opening.
The container is useful for water. And to keep things dry.

The courthouse here caught mine in my wallet. But the airport didn't not in Lubbock,Tx or Dulles in D.C.
@@dewayneearley7298 wow noted. It's never fun when it's pointed out.
bit of blade thats blue is your striker wire saw is reasonable i used one for pruning branches i couldnt reach, watch for it snagging but does work but for normal cutting rig it with a branch as a bow saw
yep
Can you add a link the the container that you used to repack it? Thanks. Love the good work! Keep it up!
Also, can you link the mini glow sticks as well?
That gray part almost looked like a paracord bracelet.
Now you got a really good kit bud
Thanks for the great video! Where did you get the tin?
Amazon

Took about 10 minutes
This feels like something you throw into your survival gear as a sort of supplement.
The original kit? No. If I received it as a gift most of it would go in the garbage. It’s junk.
But Eric’s additions make it an okay kit.
I've been keeping one of those black credit card knifes tucked away in my wallet in one of those kinda hidden slots for over 3 year's now with it never opening on me. It's their as a last ditch knife incase I lost my regular edc knife somehow.
You made into Franken kit!...lol 😎

Thanks!
Great video :). How long did it take you to unwrap the whole thing?
A while, maybe 5 or 10 minutes
The grenade survival systems, do they go with a bang? Keep up with the explosive content! 😜
You are da bomb!
Whumpf......
That’s enough bad punnage for now.
$42.75 on amazon right now. Keep it😆 I would pay for your improvement though
looks cool but if I'd be in a hurry, what a nightmare...
What about a couple hot glue sticks? Can melt with the lighter
Tip: Links for products go in the video description.
You can never have too many feral rods and a little piece of Saw Blade can be used as a striker
As a previous chef I would never buy a cheap knife, I work in Forrest's now and o always have my Victoria Knox army knife Don't forget to care for them a dull knife is worthless ! ☺️
I love Victorinox. 😍😍😉👍👍👍
You definitely improved that kit! Where can I purchase that bivy?
Love the videos, have no idea how that would open its self in your wallet
Where do you find your metal containers?
Go on amazon
What container is that? I need a few
Seems like a cute stocking stuffer for the outdoorsy type but not practical as a go to emergency kit by itself.
y not the small tin and wrap the cord neatly around the tin like the grenade
it was on the outside in the 1st place
That folding knife can be used in an altoids style kit.
I had to shave off the corners of a credit card knife to make it fit in an Altoids tin. It still works fine, though.
💣 Da Bomb!
So you just basically made your own kit
❤️❤️❤️
That credit card knife won't open on the wallet, so long as it has the lock rolled into the right space.
what is the best knife in the world ? That one you have with you :)
any tips on getting my channel started?
Yes. Start it😆
can you give us the link for the tin. Thanks.
I would freak out before I got it open🤪
Where to buy that large container? I can´t found it to buy.
Amazon. Best Glide ASE Adventurer Survival Kit Box.
Why do they put an extra three feet of paracord inside that egg, when they’ve already put 40 feet of paracord on the outside?
I've kept one of those credit card knifes in my wallet for years.
That blue saw is for ferro rod
I've seen those fero rod buckles before, most of the ones I've seen dont work at all, they seem to be fake. Two obvious issues are the time taken to open, and what to do with the contents after you've opened it, your clothes may be soaked so you can't just bung it in your pockets, probably loose stuff anyway doing that.
It's a nice idea, but not for me.
Enjoyed the video mate. Regards Wayne
👍
I carry one of those knives in my wallet all the time and others in various places
What is the red box please anyone?
Can you get the boxes by themselves?
Yes
The credit card knife is there to cut the stupid kit open so you don't lose your mind taking it apart...lol
Nice content, though all that loud music was very distracting.
I have been trying to find non-lubricated condoms for survival kit building in Australia, but can’t find any. Does anyone have any leads for me?
You destroyed the bracelet??....(on the top)
Why do your pencils never have an eraser?
Tetris 🎉
Where did u get the tin?
Amazon
Tape the credit card knife to the top of the tin.
Not a bad idea, thanks
I want one of these grenade kits just to see how many of the morons in my area (sacramento area in california) freak out thinking it’s an actual grenade. Had one call the cops one time saying I was brandishing a combat knife because I opened a package with my Swiss Army Knife. Apparently the word “army” makes it a super dangerous combat knife. Lol
Hahaha. Sounds like California
On the bright side those Karen types will be the first to Darwin out if there is a collapse
Well aren't all weapons banned in Commifornia?
There's probably a way to open it correctly
Is it just me, or is this sadder than most altoid tin style kits?
Soo.., How much did you pay for that dud?
