5 pounds is tough for sure. If you do a 10 lb kit it opens up huge possibilities and would still be easy to carry. I hope you do a 10 lb video follow up. That would be very interesting to watch. Thank for the video!
I keep a 5.8lb “key tools” molle pouch in my main bag that is meant to be the one item to grab if I have to travel light. It doesn’t have medical (those are in my 4.6lb IFAK pouch) but it can handle a lot:
Mini Crowbar - In an urban environment this can be invaluable.
Sand Paper - Takes no space or weight and can be quite useful.
Aluminum Foil - So many uses like cooking, making containers, boiling water, etc. Almost no size or weight so should always be included. I carry some in my pocket every day.
Leather Work Gloves - Protecting your hands is vital. Don’t omit these.
Paracord and bankline - Invaluable.
Cotton Bandanas - One bright (signaling), one dark (stealth). These are so important that I carry one with me every day. I wish a shemagh fit here, but it doesn’t…
Gorilla Tape - Wrapped around a business card to save space. Another invaluable item that I carry on me every day.
$100 - Various denominations. Don’t carry all big bills!
Red Sharpie
Mechanical Pencil
Rite in the Rain Weatherproof Notebook - Thoughts, notes, directions, leaving notes for others, and more.
Fresnel Lens - Magnification and fire-starting.
Flashlight - Headlamp wouldn’t fit.
Compass - Baseplate with a mirror and magnifier.
Tiny SAS Survival Guide - This has so much information packed into such a small travel size. I know a lot of things and one of those things is how much I don’t know. This fills in a lot of those gaps. The full-sized version is on my bookshelf. It´s the top book survivalists recommend.
Sillcock Keys - Multifunctional utility keys to access electricity, water, gas, trains, elevators, and more. Invaluable in an urban setting. Pretty useless in a rural setting.
Leatherman Wave+ Multitool - This is a truly amazing tool. Add the bit sets and bit extender and you basically have an entire toolkit with you. It’s not cheap, but is my favorite multitool ever (and I’ve had a lot of them).
Folding Spork - Small and lightweight but I’m open to replacing it with something longer.
Compact Chainsaw - I’ve had this for several years and it works great. It uses an actual chainsaw blade and not those flimsy little blades pre-made survival kits often come with.
Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter with bag - My Grayl won’t fit in this bag but the Sawyer is a solid, longer lasting, and more compact alternative. Plus I love the company’s mission to provide clean drinking water around the world.
Poncho/Tarp - This is a really lightweight and versatile item.
Knife Sharpener - Not my preferred choice but still solid and is small/light. At home, I love this one.
USB Cable for my Flashlight
Can Opener - Tiny military one
Steel Wire
Bic Lighter wrapped in gorilla tape
Ferro Rod - Fire making redundancy and also saves your lighter fuel.
Pencil Sharpener - Put a stick in here and get lots of shavings for tinder.
Collapsible Bellows - Get air to the fire without sticking your face next to the flame.
Altoids Tin - Holds the remaining items in this bag (no mints in this kit).
Sage - Pour some in the fire to help repel mosquitos.
Cotton - I often use this or paper towels to stop rattling of items in containers.
Home-made Fire Starter - I cut a straw into 1-2 inch sections, stuff each section with cotton balls smeared with Vaseline, and melt and crimp each end. Very easy and inexpensive but also no mess and they work great.
Small Fishing Kit
I remember doing this back in the day(crap that was an old man statement). My weight limit was around 2lbs. Ended up going on a belt pouch. 4 of the 5 C's. (Primitive guy didn't need much).
I dig your kit. Well rounded.
Hello, Chris! Nice challenge. How do the following changes affect the 5LB bottom line?... Include a pre-made ridge-line for your tarp coverage? How about a metal water container; you can boil water (eliminates your water purifier pen) and cook freeze-dried food with it. Downsize your fire-starter tin (how many fires do you anticipate starting during your emergency?).Add a couple yards of 1" Gorilla tape - you can always strip that down to 1/4" wide tape if you need to fasten objects. Finally, add a simple headlamp (Petzl or equiv). That's about all I would change to your current contents at this moment. Oh.. and by the way.... I live ~7 miles from the epicenter of today's NJ 4.8 quake. There was actually another 4.0 that occurred here around 6pm. And... 13 (
May I suggest a couple of 1 liter Smart Water bottles and a Sawyer mini. You can screw the filter directly on top of the bottle full of dirty water. It is lighter than a Nalgene and a straw and more versatile plus quicker to filter. You have two liters you can carry.
I've resorted to not carrying a canteen. Just carry bottles of water and a small pot/pan. Good video Chris your the man.
Silcock key would be nice to have in urban areas. Plus a way to carry more water once people see you have stuff, you will draw unwanted visitors.
Pretty Darn good Kit Tanner ! I'm gonna see what I can put together !
Great video…and great challenge! I liked that you included both the knife AND the saw! You got the Five C’s covered and more! Thanks!
Looks great, just threw a haversack together at 4.6 lbs no food though!
"I set the rules" ... Always Chris ! ❤
i carry more than 5 lbs on my waist most days :). my clothes and shoes way about 5 lbs. that said, if were talking just a kit for survival, id take a really lightweight bag, dynema tarp, ultralight hammock with bug net and straps, ultralight underquilt and top quilt fit to season, a tiny bic lighter, and whatever weight is left into a knife, probably a sak if i have the weight left :) or a mora, and if any ounces left cordage, titanium cup, plastic whistle
Solid choices all the way around. I would make one tiny change. I’m not a caffeine/energy drink person so I’d swap that for a Bic lighter wrapped with Gorilla tape. I know you’ve got your fire starters, so it might be unnecessary. But I’ve found, SO many times that without a sustained flame, it can be a challenge to get damp wood burning. I’ll take that challenge when I’m out for fun. When I’m in oh-$hit mode, I don’t need any extra challenges.
It is hard to decide isn't it. This exercise is definitely a challenge. I never would have considered the eye wash. The area where you live will also add challenges. I live in the deep south and there are some nasty critters down here. Ticks ,chiggers, ground wasps, snakes etc; so I pack things to deal with that even on a day hike. Not to mention my Epipen and Benadryl 😊
Best part is at the start stating that first aid kit in real survival scenario is more important than usual thinking. After that there are several problems with kit composition due to EDC in case of wilderness usage. For example if I am in the woods , even my "woodland" EDC paired with skill is enough for basic overnight around half of year in my area. Another strange thing with this kit is water bottle. I am not sure if there is any advantage for plastic sturdy bottle plus filter over titanium bottle. And if you rly want to cut weight simply use twirl pack in your EDC paired with few water purification tablets. Anyway nice video and thinking process. Anything over 2.5 kg is luxury 😇
Well...I don't have a titanium bottle for starters. If I could build a kit from anything available anywhere I'm sure it would look very different. But it's based on what I own, and that bottle had the weight advantage over my SS bottles.
5lbs is too restrictive for me lol Id have 5lbs in 22 ammo alone...but the challenge is fun anyway :)
Well done. In Florida, I would trade food for mosquito nets.
Thanks Chris, great upload. You should redo the lightweight Condor VA7 pack insert kit in the light of all the extra experience you have now. I duplicated that kit, and I still have it!
Don't have it anymore or else I would. That was a great setup.
Kinda looks like mine. Only diff is i have a SS Canteen cup to boil water..
Great challenge. Will try myself.
Very good kit Chris! A lot of thought went into this, love it!
this isnt a bad idea for caches and glove box kits or add ons i build similar kits like that all the time for the car, edc backpack, office, etc. i consider them 24/48 hour kits primarily for weird emergencies.
Headlamp would of been better awesome survival kit keep up the awesome videos.
I considered it, but opted for the Thrunite for it's signaling capability. And a more definite lockout.
@@preparedmind101 💯
Just tried it with my Helikon Tex Haversack- eas a fun challenge! If you're like me and make some small Pocket sized Survival kits for every bag then it's a piece of cake 👍🏻
My kit is (dry weight)
1.6 pound / 1 pound and 10 ounces / 740 grams.
Based on 10 Cs and a little more..
it works......
Great challenge idea 👍
Awesome choice on the SRK with the limitation
Very interesting . Thank you .
I agree with you 100%. For a 5kb kit, I don’t believe you can do much better than that!
Great video, I've watched your channel since about 40k subscribers. You gave me a knife addiction. Haha. How about a survival kit video, average weight, higher end kit?
Nice little kit Chris thanks for sharing atb
I would like ta see your take for a 30 pounds INCH bag not included a 2 pounds edc
Oh yes I have thought about having a small kit just to hide in my vehicle. Ozark Trail rain coat ranger style, leg gaiters. A polyester compact duffle bag or backpack that folds itself into a small pouch. In the pouch I put two energy bars, and a ziploc bag with a tealightsome tinder, matches and a bic lighter. A basic swiss army knife (waiter) Two garbage bags, emergency bag, tin foil, Whirl-Pak 36 oz and aquatabs. Small boo boo kits of band aids and alcohal swabs. K bar style knife. Mossy oak multitool. SOL Escape Bivvy. backing fishing line and bank line. one inche gorrela duckt tape. life straw. head lamp. maybe ill add a glow stick. I have been thinking about adding cheesecloth to my kits. I dont know how much all this weighs.
Awesome video you inspired me to buy a new backpack and get thinking..
I love the kit load out videos brother
I have a challenge for you and William. I am over the road truck driver at any given point in time my survival situation is going to encompass a 500 mile plus walk in order for me to get back home. I am in peak physical condition and train, religiously, in both jujitsu and CrossFit style workouts. I would love for your thoughts on any improvements that I can make on my get home bag. I am already taking a lot of advice from Appalachian thru hikers. However, they’re downfall is in the fact that their loadouts tend to be for three days and they just go from resupply spot to resupply spot, caring minimalistic, ultralight gear, a survival situation like this change things and I would love your feedback…
As a driver myself, Marine, and otherwise outward bound person.... that kind of drill will not be ultra-light. You can keep weight down, but your focus is going to be durability and getting the most bang for your buck possible out of everything you carry. Tools should be focused toward creating and your own procurement when you encounter areas far from human necessity. Pull something out of your pack and game theory how many different functions you can get out of it. This will show you duplicity, both wanted and unwanted, things you can get away from.... and even let you adjust for some comfort.
Your biggest hurdle over the road will be cover (including clothes) because of the range and seasons youll be travelling.
Brief edit since the thought popped up: two things, one a weight goal: i said ultralight is basically out of the question, you should still aim with food, water and all to keep it under 40% of your body weight (personal health may vary for others reading). That builds into the second thing: your avg movement on foot (back when walking, horse/cart were the norm) is only about 20 miles a day... with a top end of 50 as set by a Marine of all things😂 in i think its an iron man challenge, but thats nonstop, no sleep, at 25lbs... not a survival scenario. Now, you are a driver professionally, and youll wanna take that into consideration with your gear and planning movements. Dan Becker is a professional hiker and he still got rabdo on a 14mile hump.... thats not a good way to go out. Food for thought
@@jeremymoses7401 I agree with some parts of what you’re saying, quality gear and tool heavy is important however at a max loadout of 40% of bodyweight at 20 miles a day for a month you start getting into the calculus of why through hikers rely so much on ultralight gear you are expending more calories and protein than you are taking in and your body is going to break down.. It’s here that you will start seeing side effects like rhabdo. Dan Becker is great for gear reviews. However, his nutrition and training is garbage.
I am looking at mounting a bicycle however, my concern is in the event the I am actually having to carry out these plans I’m making myself into a target when I would like to be relying more on stealth
👍🏻 mental exercise
Tough challenge
Chris. Great videos and I love the idea for this series. Where in Columbus do you film? I’ve been fatwood hunting and birchbark hunting in and around Columbus but I’ve not really found any places I can play with fire or setup shelters.
Good luck finding magic fire trees around here...
😮 I have found fatwood and a stump on a commercial property here in city limits. Not the best quality but it does work. I have birch trees right here in my apartment complex so I have that going for me.
Here i am carrying 30lb like hmm do i need more
5 lb urban kit would be interesting
I don’t see the Snugpak and the D&D stuff much anymore...I wonder way they seem to have drifted off the radar...
looked at some snug Pak gear recently and the prices have gone up quite a bit, that and if the guy, Luke I think his name is with the gear review channel. Has mentioned their quality has dropped off. Shame as I liked their poncho and liner with the sleeves.
Best to see for yourself these days. If I went by Gruntproof I'd have never gotten the Arcturus stuff. The other key is to look for anyone else make stuff like Snugpak. I still have my Jungle Bag, and two Jungle blankets.
Chris. Have you came across a good quality/value pancho with the mylar liner?
I have mylar ponchos in the Amazon store. Meaning to get a pack to combine it with the Arcturus.
I agree that we need challenges. Just wondering if you will be going out into the wild to camp with just the 5 pound kit.
Yeah right. Would it keep me alive? Yes. Could I? Yes. I don't make myself miserable on purpose anymore. I ain't sleeping on the ground unless I absolutely have to. That stuff stopped being fun around 45....
@@preparedmind101 I agree with ya on the ground sleeping. Why me and the misses hammock camp.I'm 55 and not been on ground in like 10 years lol
@@preparedmind101 Just uploaded my 5lb vid. Said to let ya know.
No Chick-fil-A sauce?
... On a brownie flavored protein bar? Ew.
Minimalist kit.
best sub- 5lb kit is a knife and 5 days of meth
