#FieldcraftSurvival - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Fixed blade knife, metal container, ferro rod, paracord, tarp or Grabber Blanket.
I think good videos would be “Five things to spend good money on” and “Five things to skimp on.”
10 items and no container to boil, that would be in my top 3 fo sure
Otherwise might as well leave the coffee on the shelf
@A Loaf of Bread lol wouldn’t like drinking from that with the lid cut off or less u like a Chelsea smile
A plane ticket to New Zealand, a deed to 30 acres of farm land with a fresh water access, a Toyota Tundra, my flash drive of survival/homesteading books I want to read, my laptop with a solar charger. My husband gets five items he can add on the rifle, knife etc.
I love his books, read them all twice.
Didn't realize this was an infomercial until the end. Well played.
Can’t wait for the Amazon show!
Jack Carr is the Man! Looking forward to The Devils Hand!!!
My fave 5 survival jawns are a tarp, fire starter, knife, 550 paracord, and a small metal bread pan to cook and boil with. A bag to carry it all in would be my 6th item.
Cutting tool, combustion devise, container, cover, cordage.
Can’t wait for your show
Weapon yes, knife yes, fire starter yes. For the other 2 I would select shelter (bivy, tent, tarp) and depending on terrain, water filter or pot to boil. Pot if wood is readily available and safe to have fire.
Great. Straight to the point
Looking good Kevin!
Mess kit / water canteen would come in handy
Modified ESEE Junglas, ferro rod, Stainless steel canteen, 470 ft roll of #36 tarred bank line (or 550 cord), 0° synthetic sleeping bag (or queen sized, 100% wool Hudson Bay Blanket).
This is all assuming you're already wearing the appropriate clothing for environment.
Top five items in my store would have been a better title
read all four of his books and they are great
Thanks guys for your service and the vid, But u need to go back to sere school. No water container, filter ? Cool place looking forward to seeing it.
Love your books Jack
Brief mention on optics... I'm surprised Jack didn't go with a monocular. Those give a good view, and are WAY lighter. For me, binos are a no-go because of the disparity in my eyes' correction strength... I could never get both sides of a bino to focus.
Jack Carr is awesome but come on man, this was entertaining at best. Surprised he never mentioned a metal container. Something to boil water in, cook food, collect rainwater (by using the thermal blanket in the first aid pick to collect and drain into the container), etc. If this is about “Survival” having water should absolutely be in your top 5, if not your top 3.
It seems like you already know a good bit of info. What do you think a CZcams video with Jack Carr could teach you that Sootch00 can't? Everything is water, food, shelter, medkit, and knife.
@@johngalt234 I think Carr needs government resupply to survive in the backyard
@ibid.2win My point isn’t that Sootch is good and Jack Carr is bad. I was saying that some things are so basic that everyone knows them and, no matter who you go to, the options are the same (water, fire, shelter, meds, knife). Additionally, there is only so much you can learn from a CZcams video compared to actual real world experience.
And Sootch is a shill. Shooting his truck was an awesome experience for me because it showed that he doesn’t really know what he is talking about since he is average.
@ibid.2win Billy Mays lol
@@johngalt234 I have known a lot of people to shoot their own truck, or sad to say let one off in the house and a guy I worked with shot himself with a .357 in the foot!
Letting one off in the house or self ventilation is 100% unacceptable, but shooting your own truck, things happen.
Theres a guy in my town that had a gun go off in the back seat and and got his transmission leaving him stranded in the bush.
keep them chambers empty lol.
Asking a former SEAL what items he’d choose for a survival kit isn’t rather useful. Combat survival usually incorporates a form of escape & evasion while civilian survival is about stayin put. I read a book by former SEAL Howard Wasdin, who reviewed his survival kit & medical blowout kit. These kits were both very bare bones.
Water. Having clean water is almost always near my #1 need.
Good drills nice vid appreciate it from an Australian clearance Diver
great vids
Defensive tool, tool, illumination, fire, med kit
What's the context of the survival?
Red Dawn/SHTF/Zombies
Or medium to long term wilderness survival?
In scenario One I'd go
1. Weapon, preferably a gun with ammo
2. Sleep system
3. Water purification (Probably a straw)
4. Knife, probably a Morakniv
5. Spray paint to label "Wolverines" on everything.
Second scenario
1. Axe or saw (it's a toss up for me on that)
2. Sleep system
3. Pot for water purification and food prep
4. Bow and arrows
5. Firestarter, probably a ferro rod.
Wolverines!
Have you done a video on wrist watches? I would be interested in hearing recommendations.
I would also like to see what the FS people are wearing on their wrists. I’ve been rocking the same affordable gshock for years and wouldn’t mind putting something new on the Xmas list
Agreed! ⌚
The Ares Diver-1 is a good watch that keeps good time and can take a beating. The only knock is the cheap Ronda movement compared to the expense ( $695) of the watch. It does have a 10 yr Lithium battery that helps make up for the mediocre seconds registration ( ie. the seconds hand landing on the painted seconds indices on the dial) which is often the modis-operandi of the Ronda movement.
@None Thanks. Just what I wanted to know.
@None Thanks. Good info.
Water fire knife shelter medical in that order. Fire and shelter can be swapped depending on environment.
The fact that Kevin Estella and Jack Carr are in the same video, makes it one of the best commercials ever! I'm just sitting here in south Spain thinking "Damm I must visit Utah and the fieldcraft survival headquarter". Awesome folks!
Bottle of whiskey, 3 bags of jerky, lawn chair.
Computer, internet connection, Call of Duty, extra large pizza, and jumbo roll of tp.
I think I like your pick over Carr’s
Thank you for your service
Love ❤️ the fly rod’s 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Okay I read some of the comments. First I don’t think Jack Carr was a Boy Scout. Because his pick had nothing but combat survival in mind. If he was to get lost or stranded in the wood I would get him 3 days may 4 tops to live. First bullets is a finite resource and good bushcraft knife can can make weapons and tool and help build a shelter. A metal canteen to make water safe would be one of the top.
Forgot the bottle of Whistle Pig whiskey for antiseptic purposes, proven on battlefields since the Revolution.
Definitely want to check out the pro shop and eagerly awaiting the Terminal List series.
Terminal List 1-3 are out. Great books
@@Tagevn77 I've got those, I was talking about the show with Chris Pratt. The books are really good.
My top choices would be...
No Particular order
1. XR920 COMBAT OPTICS READY..
2. Centurion CM4 13.9" MIDWEIGHT HF..
3. Bark River Bravo 1 CPM CRUWEAR..
4. Exotac Ferro Rod and Lighter..
5. Emmrod Pakrod..
6. Danner GTX Boots..
7. Bivvy Sack..
8. Water Purification and Container..
9. Tarp or LW Tent..
10. Pot with rocket stove..
Any word on Tom Selleck joining The Savage Son series?
Nice mash up of talents
Water procurement should be #1
Gotta question for either the community at large or field craft survival... is there a reason a water purification system was included in the must have?
Water is essential always.
What watch is Jack wearing please?
Life loiters at the book's first page,-- Ah! could we turn the leaf. Emerson
Great tips from an expert, thank you. I’m also curious what he uses personally. He talked about a knife he had on him, but didn’t show it. Other items he was choosing were from your store. Not sure this is about his preferred gear or what he would pick from your store. I may have misunderstood.
I live in slc county. I want to visit the store. Where do I go? and how many members of amcon in slc. Thanks! would love to join the slc amcon group.
No water filter? That surprised me.
I truly appreciate the approach of weapons first, which I find really can be multi use, such as for food procurement, or in a pinch fire starting,etc.. Personally every defense tool I carry has been chosen based on these factors. Fighting/food procurement. I kinda of look at like how the Natives/or Cowboys functioned, back in the day. Great video!
Books and coffee over a container and cordage...got it.
Compass/Navigation?
I always assumed the James Reece putting honey in his coffee was based on him, now I have confirmation
Drinking water, or some means of acquiring it?
All these doodads ain't gonna do shit if you dehydrate to death 3 days in.
Water is always number 1 ppl
Definitely go with Black Rifle Coffee. Smells like treachery.
I thought the wants would be more serious since he didn't have a map, compass, water, etc
Wow
God I miss Richard Marcinko. little creek
Aka Demo Dick, shark man of the delta. Call sign "Silver Bullet".
Im surprised a compass wasnt one of them
In terms of “things” to have, yeah. Food, water..ALWAYS FIRST. Weapons IMMEDIATELY following...
I get it. He's been there..tshirt. lost me at fly rod. 2pc...5pc...packability?
I guess it's more in fun.
I'm gonna pause this at five minutes into the video as a "bushcrafter" and give him a knock bc if I were choosing five items it'd be the five C's literally always bc if you can't control your CTC you won't make it through any survival situation..
I was thinking the same exact thing. A metal container is an absolute must. Boil water, cook food, collect rainwater. Having clean water is an absolute must have
@@josh48315 glad I'm not the only one
Headlamp?
Hard to chose just 5- too many good things in that room
The last part: "something to read" section could have been done better - not just a uniform (we only sell this book) but lots of other books on the shelves and Jack Carr's Terminal List books (which are absolutely awesome!) intermingled... hey I have only just started watching this channel so I'm not sure if this is you're standard MO but it just seemed tacky that you had 2 shelves full of his books only... Absolutely loved this episode - liked and subscribed... but try and make it less cringe and more genuinely real... (imho)
I know this is an older video but I feel like one thing he forgot was water
Jack..... what about water, water purification, water container that you can boil in? Lol jk. Please don't end me
Water?
What, no tent?! Lol
A bivvy is like a sleeping bag tent
"Weapons, blades, fire, and first aid. Thats 5 right there"
Confirmed SEALs cant count 😉
Blades has an S at the end, as in 2 blades.
Jack said two knives, and @ 04:19 he states, 'if you'er going to count my two knives as one'..."I'm going to do some sort of a bivy sack." Don't you listen...????
ORC ORC ORC
@@billstevens5277 I GOTS ME 2 BLADES!
@@designated_hitter_EGA Disqualified
First rule of fly fishing: If you line can get tangled it will get tangled.
Twice..... in the same cast.
thought duct tape would be on this list
Awesome Store! Do you have gummy bears?
I can agree with some of the items and think of others I would add to the list. But guys. I can't agree on the counting. I think Jack got ripped off and better count the item count again. LOL!
Still trying to figure out what flannel shirts he wears. Some shield logo on the left sleeve. Can’t figure it out. Lol.
Water something.
Hey Jack. What you gonna use to make that coffee? Bacteria laced stream? Mud puddle?
Yes
Weapons, blades, fire and first aid. 5 items 🤔. How about a light ? If you can see you can’t, run, you can’t hide, you can’t attack you almost can’t do anything.
Uuuh ... water filter?
@Chanel Serasinghe True - insanely time consuming though. I'm no expert but - my opinion is in survival that being able to save time and move quickly is at a premium. Boiling requires somehow acquiring a boiling container, building a fire, pre-filtering the water, then boiling the water, then letting it cool down and then deciding where/how to store the water, etc ... all while trying not to be found. I'd take 5 minutes of filtering with a 2 ounce Sawyer Mini over that any day.
It's like when people say "I have a knife, I'll just build an A-frame" and I wonder if those people have ever tried to build an A-frame with just a knife before. Takes hours, and it's tiring as fuck. And it tears up your hands. All problems that can be solved by having a black contractor bag or poncho in your pack.
@Chanel Serasinghe Good points
Was going to sugar coat this but in my opinion this video was half assed
Jack gonna be in trouble without a way to carry water.
What about bubble gum?
You a can someone with a sharp stick. So I would pick a knife I can work with to make tools to help me. A fire steel , tarp with rope and bed roll and a canteen I can boil water in. And a survival mode idea. Now the handgun would be a good thing for wolves and other animals that may love to eat you. But if you look at the evolution of humans and the tools and weapons they used over time and the dangerous animals they had to defend themselves against with no help I really think you could pick more useful gear in a survival idea. Now look at the medical gear in the woods like in Alaska you can use it to start fires now a multitool is not that good with trees and rocks but is good for firearm repairs and cleaning. So one must think if you was dropped in Alaska for two full weeks what would you grab before you go and only thing not counted is the clothes on your back and the shoes on your feet would you pick the same junk? Look at the scouts knife it had two blades and can opener and bottle opener and a awl I had one. Now your pick would be sound for a city survival. But I would think if a city has fallen I would be get out within 72 hours before it’s stores run out. Because when that happens people act stupid.
The five C's.
Hummm. No cordage.. interesting..
For those who typically have a multitool as an EDC...
How many of you have a 100mm crescent wrench in the same carry case / pouch ?
If not, you may be surprised how helpful it will turn out to be.
Everyone mentions a tourniquet. Should everyone have one?
Yes. And the training to use it under stress. You have to be able to control the bleed, no matter how that happens. Auto accidents, you might either be in one, or the first to arrive after it happens. Firewood/chainsaw/axe, anything working around machinery. Things can go badly in an instant, but to ensure you or others have more of a chance to make it to qualified medical assistance, you must control the bleed. I'd carry more than one. But at the very least, one CAT-7 TQ is needed. And it does take practice. Anyone can unroll one, but it needs to be muscle memory so that your hindbrain can get it done when a thousand things are demanding your attention in a crisis. Fieldcraft Survival teaches these classes, so check out the 'training' section of their website.
@@durgan5668 thanks.
Only if they learn to use it properly. If so, yes.
@@undefeatedgaul3201 only specialized citizens.
Squids??? LOL. Might consider water source. Filter, pills, etc.
SEALs. Worlds best pool cleaners.
Nice visit. Great way to sell more s#*t. Soooooooooooooo Predictable.
We need a special knife for fighting? I’ll get right on that.
Scraping the barrel for content....
I'm wondering his top 5 items to defeat a captured gov't? It seems all the vets from all the services from all the forever wars stood down. I don't understand why, and if you guys could touch on that, or reference a place where it has been, I'm all ears. I'm just a retired civilian FDNY Paramedic, and was here holding his bag, while no one showed up. Very confusing.
They are terrified of losing their source of income. A lot of prior military will stand by their oath to preserve and protect our Constitutional Republic but many others will not jeopardize the social media platforms that provide them income.
@@janesmith4017 Aren't all the military and gun channels demonetized already? I'm just amazed and can't for the life of me understand how millions of vets just did nothing.
It's like watching Epstein get taken out in a prison in front of everyone, and nobody thought, well, that could be an issue. That emboldened our oligarchs, imo. Now they slaughtered even the appearance of our representative republic, in front of everyone, and nobody did anything...
So as the gov't takes everyone out slowly using Defeat in Detail, like my NYC cops do with 30 to 1 cops to one (probable) perp, don't they get, they are done either way?
The only thing I can propose is that they don't think they have anyone worth fighting for, even themselves? If that is the case, like the germans I spoke to, (a year or so ago, when the whole german police aren't even taking calls about assaults on women if they aren't from german citizens), asking them why they weren't defending their women, and after 3 months of asking they finally told me: They don't want our help, so let them be attacked.
Is that why? Do our men feel so hated by their own women, they will not fight for anything anymore? That's the only possible inference I can think of... as a woman, can you propose an alternative? It's not about money, if you are gonna be chinese food...
@@jeffreyspinner5437 the guys that have loudly protested the presidential election fraud have been taken down. I do not know the Field Craft guys but I have known other green berets. The green berets primary mission as i understand it never having been a green beret , is to organize, facilitate and coordinate local populations resistance against the ruling control. I know many SOF team members agree with what you and I are thinking , without saying it out loud. Channels like this one we are on are transmitting because they do not say out loud what you and I are thinking. Have faith, be prepared to do what you are able to do when you are given the opportunity , and most importantly remember, We the People of the United States of America are the most heavily armed citizenry in human history and we will not allow our Constitutional Republic, the last best chance on earth,,, to perish.
@@janesmith4017 I hope you're right, because to me, put a fork in it, we're done.
After the military cleansing of patriots almost completed, I don't think we have much time at all.
The reason for the 2025 quotes all the time from the politicos about the minimum wage to most everything else is from a Deagel .com / forecast that predicts a remnant of 99,000,000 ppl left in the US by 2025... The guy Deagel just passed away, so good luck getting info like that again anytime soon.
So given how ppl are getting evicted, jabbed with gene therapies mislabeled waxinations, and squeezed as food prices are skyrocketing... I think they're on schedule.
@@jeffreyspinner5437 Dude, no way are we done. We literally have not even started to fight yet. The most war gamed scenario amongst the think tanks in Washington DC is what happens when the most heavily armed citizenry in human history stands up against a corrupt, illegitimate and criminal regime. The anonymous traveler to the war games put into words what we intuitively know. We can solve all of our problems by lunch time tomorrow by getting in our pick up trucks, driving to Washington DC and dragging about 500 traitors out of their panelled offices and shooting them in the face. We the People of the United States of America realize that the vast majority of our problems and concerns originate in Washington DC. The majority of Americans know the Biden presidency is a result of massive electoral fraud, Congress' approval rating is lower than Englands King George on the eve of the American Revolution and the media that the traitors are so dependent on to spread their propaganda has no credibility with the vast majority of Americans. They realize the national guard troops in Washington DC hate them as much as you and I do. It is hilarious to me that they sent the Georgia National Guard to help in Washington DC a couple of weeks ago. I know which way the guns of the Georgia National Guard will point, and the traitors inside their fence do to. Prepare yourself and your loved ones to do what you can do to preserve our Constitutional Republic when the time comes. We the People of the United States of America will prevail over the communists traitors.
No offense but water never made the list?
Guess the white claw was more important......
80's movie Red Dawn was mentioned. Yup, I grew up with that movie too! This video is from a year ago. A lot has happened since then.
Remember? Remember the 80's,...back when, of course you couldn't rely on the Left, but you could certainly rely on the Right to be firmly and uncompromisingly anti communist.
Yeah, Red Dawn. What a movie.
Back when if an invading army came openly flying the Hammer and Sickle flag, you'd know for sure the Right would stand up against those communists and not promote bs kremlin horse shit propaganda.
So much has changed.
I miss the 80's so much.
Haha 😂 who the hell is Kevin?? Lol
That was pretty rushed and not very authentic feeling. I was expecting something like what you’d see from the people on Alone. He carried himself more like a celebrity than anything.
I am a wanna be soldier type. SO... I would choose a pistol of the 45 magnum type... kind of a rifle pistol. Nothing worse than being out ranged and in a fight, I suspect. I would skip the multitool knife, too silly for me. Snare wire. (good for many things: garrot, to warning signals, to getting food, to hanging clothes and skins, etc). A solid fighting knife, with sharpener, even though I do not know how to fight with one, yet. I am sure I could skin and cut up my food with it) with it. A fire starter for sure, non mechanical, non leakable, many , many uses before it runs out. A first aid kit with tourniquet and gauze and tape, etc. A femur stabilizer would be great in that kit too. That is 5. But enough, and it simply comes from my farm boy childhood, that included some trapping. From that, I would take from the really bad like Robin Hood. If, and when opportunity arouse. Community would be my next quest, if possible and if it was intelligent.
Jack, "LIGHT IRONING IS AUTHORIZED" on your flannels. lmao
Don't buy black rifle coffee the ceo is supporter of restrictions on the 2nd MD self defense amendment and donated to a candidate that want to implement laws against self defense. When Kyle Rittenhouse had a a BRC shirt on the ceo denounced him. I guess didn't want to lose certain customer base.
