Survival Kit for $100?

I hopped on Temu to see what I could get for survival gear and here is the result!

There are a few things I have learned to splurg on when it comes to gear - footwear (boots & socks), saws, and a compass. I will be really curious to see how the saw & compass hold up once you start using them.

Based on experience, I do not think a mylar blanket will hold up to being any kind of mattress. Once ripped or torn, the plastic just shreds itself to nothing. But, if you have a method to make it work, I'll be really interested to see it in action.

First time to your channel - sent here by Corporal Kelly from Corporal’s Corner. Glad to be here

This is a great start up kit. Cost is amazing value would be good to road test some of this. Opens the door for many more people who can’t justify paying top dollar for the brand stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Ya know I get the whole made in America thing but stuff like this simply opens the door and lowers the bar of entry to an amazing arena of knowledge and experience

[damianpollock]

You gonna do an overnight with this kit?

[andrewplaysoutside]

That would be a great starter kit for a newbie as a gift, too!

The ferro rod has lanyard holes on both ends, for swapping ends. When you belly it out one way. You can swap it around.

Great prices, but is it worth it when the site mines your phone / computer data?

Everything i bought i have good experience with, DO NOT USE A DEBIT CARD OR THEY WILL GET YOU FOR FRAUD. other than that it is cheap half way decent items. 😊

[frugalmum]

I'd love to see you put this kit to the test :)

[jamesparker]

Great video guy loved it. I would keep that bright colored lanyard on there just in case you dropped it and was trying to find it.

2 things that i would upgrade, genuine victorinox feildmaster.
2 really good poncho.

[justingilmer]

Have you opened the poncho? Is it full size and does it seem like it would hold up? Does it have grommets to use as a shelter?

[nauticalknotcraft]

I haven't used Temu. Look forward to the road test results. Thanks Paul.

I got 2 of those headlamps. They are awesome for the money. Plenty of light and stay charged for a good amount of time.

I don't mind d2 on a pocket knife, but it isn't good for a fixed blade. Especially if you're planning on using it as a survival knife. D2 chips really easy and isn't good for hard use. You're much better off going with 1095. Rather than D2.

Thank you for your work to gather the supplies.
I will be looking forward to viewing your
report on the usefulness of the products,
because I am constructing beginner kits for
4 GRANDkids and others.
Good video & to the point.
I am curious as to whether your
Para cord does have 7 strands inside-
I have found some at WallyWorld with an outer sheath with just a fluffy core!
I am also interested in the SAK knockoffs
as to the knife and saw blades and whether the body of the knife will hold up to a little
use as for cutting notches in small branches
for constructing L 7 trap triggers-
Of course the same goes for the full tang
Sheath knife and folding saw.
Light work for three days is useful but Your
Testing while Teaching will give You and then
YOUR VIEWERS SOME VERY USEFUL DATA!
Be careful as SURVIVAL WHILE DRIVING
IS a matter for YOUR FULL ATTENTION !
Looking forward to your experiences as
you try out these tools for us!

I’ve bought several things from Temu, So far the quality has been exceptional for the price. Most I wouldn’t hesitate to depend upon for 72 hour bag or maybe even a couple of months (not really hard use) but for the price it definitely beats not having the items.And yes I hate supporting China (not all the items come from there) but if they got what I need in order to fight against them so be it !

[pflugervillebushcraft]

Is that a real SAK or a nock off? I ask because the saws on the real ones have worked very well for me.

I bought a few backpack belt packs just to see how they do for some quick access pouches. They seem alright so far. I also bought an IFAK PACK, I also ordered an IFAK pack from Amazon and really impressed with both. Seem to be built pretty well. I also swear they are from the same manufacturer even coming from to different places
