An alternative to the Rite In Rain paper notepads are 3M Extreme Post-It notes. They are for construction site use, hold up to weather, are brightly colored, and extra sticky. Plus, they can be found easily at local home improvement stores. I got a crapload of them at Lowe's on clearance one day. Also saw them sold at the bigger office supply chain places. Rite In Rain is harder to find offline. You can separate 5, 10, or more sheets of the Extreme Notes from the main pad and spread the wealth among multiple kits. I also cut up strips of these to label my seed start pots. They don't fall off or fade like everything else I've tried, and they can take watering overflows.
Right? I've been camping and doing outdoor exploration for 30 years and never really needed to used any of my "survival gear" besides maybe the fire starting stuff, but I can start fire by hand anyway.
Very nicely done! I have the same organizer in od green. Putting one together and getting it to fit beautifully is not as easy as it looks. Takes careful though on selecting the right items and thinking through how they will fit together. But well worth the effort. Lots of fun to not only assemble but to use and evolve over time.
Great video. I would recommend adding some sanitizer wipes like wet ones (single size). They do come in very handy. All my kits have at least a couple in them. I usually keep them in the front mesh pockets of my organizers for easy access. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the good work.
This is a nice setup , mine is very similar. I totally agree with the hook thing getting in the way I cut mine off too and put a mini sharpie up top. (thanks for that tip!)
Very cool selection of gear man. Been a long time since I watched one if these 'Maxpedition Kit' videos, but this has totally given me the bug again! Cheers!
Nice job! Some really clever ideas in there. I especially like the mini Altoids fishing kit and the duct tape on the card idea. Thanks for posting. I need to get one of these little bags.
Thanks! It's nice to have on hand. I find myself using it as a mirror to dig dust particles out of my eyes, sometimes. It's got multiple uses and it's cheap.
Anything that I want to keep dry, like the match striker. I wrap in a piece of Glad Wrap. I even wrap my lighter with Glad, nothing worse than your lighter getting wet. Nice kit, I have a lot of different items that I like to carry. I also carry a little pry bar but I always carry a pair of side cutters. You can take one side of the handle and grind it down that it will do the job of a pry bar.
Wow your organizer is packt great. I love the idea behind the plastic blood thingy! The Problem wihe the fixed blade - maybe the Real steel marlin might fit diagonal?!
Apparently I got a knock off of this bag off Amz for less than $10 here in 2022. One of the few that had a thinner carry profile. I like it so far. I did spray 2 layers of waterproofing camping spray before loading it up. I strongly agree with washing any bandana first. Especially if you ever expect to use it as a pre-filter. I hand wash with natural soap, do a white vinegar soak for 15 mins and rinse really well. Also hang to airdry. If you're okay with sucking down an overabundance of dyes from China or chemical-enhanced clothes detergent, have at it.
Pine Ridge Knives makes a vary nice small fixed blade I think it's called the shark tooth I have that knife and one of there bigger fixed blade cross draw for my edc
I didn't see any pliers? That's perhaps my most needed item. So much so, because any kind of blades (or anything that can be used as a weapon) are illegal here, and I don't want to explain a no blade multi tool to the police, I've got the smallest Knipex Cobra in my handbag, LOL! So switch out that pocket knife for one with pliers or do it some other way!
Hey very cool kit got one or two ideas from it. What's about some first aid elements or crazy glue? In my kit I have a tactical pen featuring a glass breaker and a Flashlight you can also use it as a kubotan. I'll make a video about it soon.
how cool would it be if they had an integrated swivel belt clip , on and off on the go , molly stinks i haven't found one molly attachment that didn't suck in some way. . i took the mini sharpie idea from you
"Urban Survival" in your title, but you have at least three different ways to start a fire, LOL. 😂 Ditch two of them and add some pliers, which would be way more useful.

If nothing else these things are fun to build, I love those little packs.

I like the test tube idea
Wonderful gear assemblage! Thank you!

These kits are great and regularly save the day when me and my wife are out and about.
Got a couple good ideas. Thanks!
Great kit.

Nice kit. I hadn't seen the signalling dog tag before.

Nice kit. I picked up a few new ideas from it. Do you have a light for it?
I have a Esee Candiru in mine. Takes a lot of space, but I want to bring a fixed blade.
I thought your intro was a commercial, lol..I kept looking for the Skip button.
Pine Ridge Knives makes a vary nice small fixed blade I think it's called the shark tooth I have that knife and one of there bigger fixed blade cross draw for my edc
Business cards in the front pocket.
God loves a trier.☺️
I would reccomend adding a flashlight of some sort like a pen light from 4sevens or streamlight
That's a great idea I'm currently switching out my edc pack gear I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the tip!
yeah, flashlights are key
What's that tiny signal mirror? I haven't seen any smaller than about credit card sized. Nicely done pack!
good work, and interesting EDC, but you miss the Knife?
SOG Instinct small little fixed blade boot knife that will fit!
I like how you said "your wife's washer and dryer" lol I bet she owns the vacuum too!
Lol I tried to use her dryer one time for a knife torture test and she said don’t you ever touch my washer and dryer. So now they are hers.

I have the CRKT Ritter RSK MK5 fixed blade knife and it is great for survival kits. I think you would like it. Dee
Thank you, I'm looking into that one and a few others. I'll definitely do a video once I make my decision.
Surprised no one carries a hankerchief but me
Edit: Daaamn he pulled one out! Nice

THE title says urban survival but you have stuff for the woods ????????Well the best urban survival you ever need is CASH!!!!!!!!
like in venezuela right now? it's urban isnt it? and money (their own at least) surely does great job getting food on table...
how cool would it be if they had an integrated swivel belt clip , on and off on the go , molly stinks i haven't found one molly attachment that didn't suck in some way. . i took the mini sharpie idea from you
Oh, first aid kit?
Becker bk14 or bk11
Use a snake knot and that will never be a problem again.
"Urban Survival" in your title, but you have at least three different ways to start a fire, LOL. 😂 Ditch two of them and add some pliers, which would be way more useful.
This pocket waterprof or not??
