Wilderness Survival Kit: 10 Essentials You NEED
Wilderness Survival Kit: 10 Essentials You NEED
This is a basic Wilderness Survival Kit! Hopefully you won’t need to use these in a real survival situation. I find a lot of situations don’t have to cause you to worry though if you have a simple kit like this with you in the wilderness.
Incase you want to pick up your own kit, here are some essentials I mentioned.

You are a prepper you have prepared a bag. You leave it by your door if anything happens that’s prepping
A pretty good kit for townies and people who aren’t use to being in the woods
Where the baby oil in case Diddy get out?
Proopsy modular homes are currently a promising investment for the future, and with their recent surge in value and growing stability, they offer attractive returns. However, a lack of understanding often deters potential investors.
Great informative video. 😊
Small portable solar panel with rechargeable headlamp and flashlight instead of anything with disposable batteries or that can burn up like a candle. I bought one of those usb solar panels and it folds up to about 10 inch by 6 inch and is incredibly thin, you won’t even notice it in a pack. You don’t want to be out there and not be able to tell what’s around you. That’s one little piece of advice for a pack. Also, metal water bottle for boiling water after you run it through a light filter.
A zippo can also do the job
"Have it in wilderness" bro i need this everyday inside my apartment
What was the make and model of that pack?
Have a bag of corn chips easiest way to start a fire
3 weeks w no food , now that’s a diet plan lol
3:36 hey its kinda obvious but what if you drink a toxic water, polluted with some kind of poison or other toxin, this cant be filtered, right?
This video quickly turned into a plug for "check out videos in this link, and this link, oh, and this link."
3 hours without warmth?? pretty sure i survived days in afghanistan
You work for 40yrs to have $400 – 500k in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $27k in a pre fab Proopsy home for just few months and now they are multi millionaires by renting and reselling them. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
My only criticism is "mother nature isn’t trying to kill us"? I know a lot of people who would suggest otherwise 😂
Many city folks have died because they had no survival skills. A CEO in Calif got lost driving, burned four tires for heat, left his car for help. He perished, also his wife in his car. Two ladies died because one got locked out of the car when it auto locked. The driver got lost in the cold winter when she stopped her car to walk her dog. A whistle would have prevented the unfortunate deaths. The one dollar Mylar survival blanket is underrated for winter situations.
One thing i recommend, carying as well, a good compass.

You know what’s better than a lighter or matches a magnifying glass
With President Trump serving as the 47th president of the United States, there’s significant potential for a major market rally, presenting great opportunities for wealth creation. By investing in Proopsy modular homes instead of keeping your money in banks, you can capitalize on this surge and build considerable wealth. Just by renting them out every month, you can earn up to 100k low-key.
You forgot the most important items and that is the clothes you are wearing along with shoes. Pack warm clothes in that bag along with gloves and a beanie!!!!
I completely agree with everything in this video, but would only say to emphasize your first aid more. A small cut can rot extremely fast without modern medicine, and a small sprain can be debilitating or even fatal if you can’t move to do what you need to. Spot on otherwise though
Everything here is so overbuilt/overly redundant. For this bulk you could bring an ultralight sleeping bag/quilt which would actually keep you warm unlike a chintzy space blanket. A 0.4 oz mini bic is lighter, smaller, and more useful than a giant tube of stormproof matches. A tiny pack of aquatabs is so much lighter than bringing 3 different water filtration systems. Bring a tiny rechargeable flashlight instead of a clunky caving headlamp. Nobody is going to be hauling that bag on every trip 😂
The problem with lint is it stinks
If you can fit it, bring a bic lighter. Can light a fire with it with or without any fuel.
Don’t forget guys, there are two types of preppers and you should create your bag aaccordingly. Are you going to hang around where you broke down, or are you going out to find help?
Always bring more water than you think you need. I have regretted bringing too much crap many many times. But running out of water is a real bummer. One time i was on a weak long hiking trip and me and my buddy ran completely out of water. Ita not fun. We only went a few hours we found water luckily but if you were completely lost, it would be a major blow psychologicaly
No multi tool ??
Yeah nice and simple video dude, thanks for sharing the knowledge! Earned the like and the sub 😁♥️
You can survive longer than 3 weeks without food, I got sepsis in 2020, thought I had covid because the symptom’s were just like I had the flu and covid had just started..coughing, shuddering chills, splitting head when I coughed, stinky sweats, cluster headaches, loss of appetite, I suffered at home for a month without eating because I thought I’d just ride the covid out for two weeks, but I never got better, I started to feel like I was getting better but it never progressed to full recovery, so then went to the hospital and thats when I found out I was very lucky to have survived a very nasty case of sepsis.
Some people pack fish hooks and line, but have you ever tried to fish with a stick? I pack a little two piece ice fishing rod and spinner, and a couple of generic soft-baits. Then again, I live in "the land of 100,000 lakes" so no matter how lost you get you’re never very far from a hungry walleye.
Californians larping
Most ppl cheap on the tarp like your bivy shelter. Don’t bother with throw away ones. Get something decent. Shelters very important
Too busy, too noisy, too colorful, be hunted down in the first or second wave
1:17 wtf 3 weeks without food?? I can’t survive ONE day without food, dead serious.
What the name of the bag again?
I just reserve that bucket my local library. I’m doing a hike from San Francisco up to British Columbia in search a few mushroom mushrooms. In the United States this year because I’m mushrooms in Oregon
Thanks for publishing this! I need guidance: My crypto wallet on OKX contains some USDT trx, and I possess the backup phrase: -clean- -party- -soccer- -advance- -audit- -clean- -evil- -finish -tonight- -involve- -whip- -action-. Could you suggest how can I go about moving them to KuCoin?
Number one lesson to learn:
Do not let this man drive your car or your boat!
Thank you for making this useful video!
A word on first-aid kits. I’m a physician (plastic and reconstructive surgeon with a phenomenal amount of trauma management experience) as well as an experienced long-distance backpacker. I trained at Johns Hopkins. Here’s my 2 cents.
Most of the contents in a first-aid kit are worthless for a backpacker. I can think of NO scenario where it is necessary nor safe to suture a wound closed when on the trail. An open wound is a wound that WILL NOT get infected. Suturing a wound closed can cause infection. Further, the time to learn how to properly clean a wound, establish a sterile work field AND how to suture is not when you are on a trail. Never suture a wound closed. Leave it open. Clean it frequently (every 4 to 6 hours) with clean treated water. I promise you it won’t get infected if you do this. Even if you are looking at bone or blood vessels—keep it clean and properly moist.
Gauze is another item that truly makes no sense. Here’s why: gauze is a sponge for everything and it will literally start to grow bacteria within minutes of being placed on a wound. You must change a gauze dressing at least every 12 hours. If you don’t, that wound will get infected. Changing the dressing twice daily is going to require a lot of gauze—much more than the first aid kit has. Again, an open wound is a safe wound. Cover it with clothing to keep bugs away, but cleanse it frequently with clean water. It isn’t ideal, but it’s much better than keeping bacteria-infested gauze on it for days.
Splints are worthless on the trail. It may make you feel better about things, but it’s truly worthless. You need your legs, thighs, pelvis and spine to be intact in order to walk. If they are broken no amount of splints will help. If you break your arm or hand you can still walk.
The things I recommend for first aid are: medicine for nausea and diarrhea (pepto bismol), electrolytes to help replenish yourself after vomiting, if you experience diarrhea or experience heat exhaustion or altitude sickness.
The best electrolyte replacement is oral rehydration fluid. Here’s the recipe: 1/2 to 3/4-teaspoon table salt, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 liter of water. Every hiker should carry this with them.
Mole skin for blisters, with a small knife or scissors to cut the pieces needed.
Insect repellent and mosquito net for your face. Up to 1 MILLION people die every year from mosquito borne illnesses. Insects are the number one most common cause of death for hikers. Don’t believe me? Do some research and you’ll quickly realize you are wrong.
It comes down to this: if you are injured you will either still be able to walk to safety (in which case the injury likely won’t kill you even if you completely neglect it), OR you won’t be able to walk to safety, in which case a first aid kit will be totally useless. If you can’t walk to safety, you’ll need a satellite communication device to call for help. So carry a satellite communication device.
Stop wasting money on first-aid kits. Think through scenarios that may happen (burns, sprained ankles, etc.). You need to know the common scenarios that would require you to immediately change plans and head for safety or call for help. Know your boundaries. Think through scenarios. Play them out in your mind. What would you do? In what order? This is how you keep yourself and others alive.
Any updates in 2025?

When there a danger places like floods or wildfires pack your survival backpack
Well I guess you’re wrong because Mother Nature tires to kill you daily! In The woods Mother Nature is like a black widow spider she makes it look very enticing and you have to escape her grip once your escapades is over. If your talking to survivalist then why do they try and teach techniques to sustain your stay. Anything can happen in the woods but to survive it is another story. TO BE IN A SURVIVAL SITUATION YOU LACK CERTAIN GEAR otherwise you wouldn’t be in that situation if you had it. Having a certain piece of gear or item saids you have the skill set necessary to operate it and utilize it properly. Of course there are idiots that think they know how to use or do certain activities with proper equipment 🤨 and DON’T!!!!? Mother Nature in her grand design made it 😢 so you will die one day and all living things must die eventually so to me that statement is false. When engaging treks no matter how small anything can happen life threatening. Your determination and knowledge can or will prevail, but for a lack of gear necessary to aid you can make or break you. Just like a lack of knowledge. Mother Nature does not give you an instruction manual while your out there, your relying on knowledge handed down by others and hopefully that knowledge is very acute and trustworthy. When… you have so many fake survivalist on YouTube in that their GLAMOUR is going to get someone killed trying there doppelgänger techniques and not been truly tested or have never been in a survival scenario a day in there life or lifestyle. Creative scenarios are prefigured to allow a person to walk away unscathed DAVE CANTERBURY is one of those individuals and lots more who follow his stuff. You guys are not thinking thing’s thru!!!

The wisest thought that is in everyone’s minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in modular homes from Proopsy, making $55,000 monthly profit on renting them out regardless of how bad it gets on the economy, thanks to Proopsy..
Extra batteries!
