Oh man I disagree …
Oh man I disagree with just about everything this guy says. That dinky little skateboard backpack isn’t sufficient and will tear under any real use. All those pockets and zippers are unnecessary; they only reduce the amount of usable space for large objects. I’d opt for a small internal frame hiking pack with a single large compartment.
Also, get a real knife. At least 6 or 7″ full tang fixed blade knife is vital for any real survival situation. What can you do with a silly little folder knife?

A water bottle, …
A water bottle, flishlight, and a knife.UHa! What is the number 1 killer in a survival situtation? If you said exposure you’re right. So where is the mention of a fire starter (that will work in any condition)and that little knife is useless for fire making(you need at least a 5or6 inch blade with a full tang. Dude I don’t mean to sound like i’m being cruel to you but there are a lot watching and are being misled into thinking that your videos will keep them alive if they do what you say.Sorry!

Just found you. Terrific vids!! But you need to code them, so the new viewer, like me, can watch them in order or the sequence they were made. Keep up the good work!!

Flash light for the …
Flash light for the nite to minimise fright, right? I´d trade it for the magnesium flint fire starter, or at least i´d carry it on me instead of the flashlight. It can go in the backpack, as you said the items you use most should go in your pocket .And that little knife, although it´s sharp, wont be able to do no spliting. How about a kabar marine knife or even a pilot survival one or a S.O.G., any thing that can do splitting and batoning? Any way I like your vds. Keep up with the good job.

Minor criticism: a fixed blade knife, even a small one like a RAT 3, is a lot stronger and more capable at survival tasks (especially firewood processing).

one thing for …
one thing for people to consider would be to check out a quality light hiking pack, like arcteryx, gregory, etc. since military gear that i have used (when i was in the military) was heavier and less comfortable. Military stuff is more durable, but if you don’t intend to crawl through barbwire and trenches it is sometimes a bit porcine. If people don’t believe me look at what organizations like NOLS use etc.
