why dont u just put the lighter in the waterproof container?
*can
i think i cant do a bttr job on this subject…hes missing many items
i want him to blow that whistle in a small confined room and go deaf for wasting my time.
no knife? seriously are you trying to kill us?
If you’re talking pole-shift, it would just switch north and south
electronic ignition lighters still work wet unless totally saturated
Cotton balls soaked in Petroleum Jelly (vaseline)
I prefer using a firesteel, you can pick them up for about £5 and they still work if they get wet
Use cotton balls as tinder. They are light and compressible.
I commend this young man for putting a video like this together. I would add a knife, a signal mirror and a garbage bag you can use to stay dry.
The WetFire tender might be better that putting sticks in your kit.
you forgot to pack ur tampons.
it wont….
you start flying with winds at 200mph… anyway why not put the lighter in the waterproof case man?
and a lightwer would not work with winds up too 200 mph
if 2012 were to happen a compass would not work cause the plates would shift
Yeah i own one of those dinky little wire saws and a wire chainsaw and i would never rely on them in a survival situation.. you need that can cut for a while and not to mention if you are injured and cannot use one arm,, a wire saw isnt gonna get you very far..and as for the map,, thats just common sense you cannot argue..if your going into the woods.. Take A Map!
if you know the general direction you came from you can use a compass. and as well if you want to go straight in a specific direction you can follow it so if you made camp went to bed got back up the next morning youd know which way you went. and a folding saw no get a wire saw.
hey fellow survivalists, i am currently uploading my survival series. please check out my profile and remember to subscribe!!
you dont need a compace you can find your direction with your watch you shound het some cord instead of dry tinder and flint striker instead of light or matches and you should have a knife
i agree with you
A marine whistle? ditch it for a flat fox 40.
String? ditch it for some paracord
Compass? I see no map?
Knife? …Where is your knife??
Matches And lighter? Get a flint striker….
Folding Saw is a must
in all honesty.. hiking for 7 years? and this is the best you could come up with? your going to give people a false sense of hope with this type of advice
Of course. but i think that people shouldn’t rely on their survival kit too much either. because you can lose it and if that happens your screwed.
No harm, but you shouldn’t rely on just that skill that may not work. Carrying a whistle on your keychain or survival kit is easy, and frankely hard to loose. It’s pay off is potentially life saving.
