Hey guys, welcome back to the channel
0:08
I just received a package from my buddies at 5 Call Survival Supply and they sent me
0:15
a couple survival kits. The first one we're going to look at today, I'm really excited about because this is the
0:24
Esee Large Tin Kit and if you've seen these things online, they look awesome
0:30
I've never messed with one of these things before, so today we're going to do an unboxing
0:35
I'm going to go through the contents with you inside and then the next day I'm going
0:39
to go out and actually in the field and start testing the stuff this thing comes with because
0:45
it doesn't mean anything just to look at it and go, oh that's cool. You got to go outside and you got to play with it and you got to actually test the limits
0:51
of the gear to make sure that it's going to actually work because these things aren't
0:55
cheap and if you're going to be buying one of these, I want you guys to get the best
0:59
opinion possible of what the limitations of this kit is. So, stick around because we're going to open this thing up and see what's inside
1:08
Alright, so that's the package it comes in. Pretty exciting
1:18
I can't wait to open this thing up, I think it's going to be so cool
1:21
First thing we see here, we got a big tin. Has a rubber band around it and it's been taped, sealed
1:33
So I guess for long term storage this would be, helps keep it waterproof or water resistant
1:40
let's put it that way. There goes the side
2:09
There are the goodies all laid out, look at that. So first thing we have is an Esee Knives Kandiru
2:29
I've never owned a Kandiru so it's a small little knife but man it's pretty darn sharp
2:37
out of the box. I've heard good things about these as PSK knives, personal survival kit knives, so we'll
2:43
test it out in the field but right there that's a big bonus to have this in the kit
2:49
You're going to need some kind of knife so you might as well have something like that
2:55
Second thing is we have an NDUR fire steel. Of course any time I get a fire steel I have to try it out
3:18
Sometimes you've got to scrape the lining off these things, there's like a coating
3:24
Hmm, not getting much spark with that. There we go, just had to get that coating worn off
3:37
It's throwing pretty good sparks. Okay, enough of that. Brass snare wire
3:52
Seems like it's good quality. Some of those quick tinders or tinder quicks, I forget what they're called exactly, but
4:04
it's basically a cotton swab. It has some kind of treatment to it so it helps, you can pull that apart and use that
4:15
to start a fire with. Nice signal mirror with a nice protective case, that's good
4:30
That will come in handy. Okay, this is kind of cool
4:42
This is a Essie Knives notebook. There's the paper in there, you have to rip this open
4:56
But then this has the navigation cards. So it looks like 1x24 scale grid reader, 1x25 scale grid reader, 1x50 scale grid reader
5:18
Some instructions for their survival cards. Basic topo map reading. It's a really nice map reading gear to go with what I think is a compass in here
5:32
Let's see. Yes. Wow. Okay, this is a nice compass. This is a SunTow
5:40
This is not an old cheapo Walmart special. This is a real deal compass that you can depend on
5:50
Right off the bat, this is a big deal to have something that good in this kit
5:58
And then we have some accessory cord that's military grade. I have some of this stuff already at home and it's great stuff
6:06
This will be good for making a neck lanyard for that knife
6:12
Making some other lanyards and things like that. This is a nice set of whorl bags
6:20
So you unfold these and you can actually store water in these. These will be nice. I'll show you how those work in the field
6:30
This is interesting. This is Kevlar trip line, 75 feet, 80 pound test
6:38
It comes in a little container, reusable container. That's nice. Pencil to go with our grid reader and our notebook
6:51
Holy cow, look at that. A real Swiss Army knife. Not a knockoff, not a cheapo, not a small tiny one
7:00
This is... What model is this? Is this the Tinker or the Camper
7:10
Has the all... Phillips head screwdriver. Corsair. Tweezers and toothpick
7:21
Main blade. Can opener. Bottle opener, screwdriver
7:34
And then what else is in here? Oh yeah, nice, the saw
7:40
That will come in handy. So another piece of high quality gear
7:48
Flagging tape, very useful. Now I've seen these before and I actually have something similar to this
8:00
These are strobe lights. And I'll show you how these things work when we start doing field testing with this kit
8:10
But these things are very bright. They're bright strikes. You can look them up if you want to
8:17
But they... There you go. There's a green one. There's a slow
8:26
Steady on. And off. We've got two of those in the kit
8:41
Pretty nice. More quality gear. Wow. A fishing kit
8:51
A whole tin just dedicated to a fishing kit. That's pretty impressive
8:55
We'll open that up here in a second and take a look at that. Let's continue going through
8:59
Ok, looks like we have... Sewing kit of some sorts. So this material can be used as a patch material
9:15
But then it also has some good heavy duty needles enclosed in it
9:23
That's a bonus. Nice whistle
9:34
Whirl of duct tape. Water treatment
9:44
Portable aqua. And then we have some safety matches. These are actually sealed
10:10
Kind of like a mini lifeboat match. That'll be nice. Then we have..
10:34
Some... Looks like survival cards. So there's...teaches you about camouflage. Water treatment
10:42
Fire building. So we'll have to open those up and see what all of that's all about
10:50
Fresnel lens. Which is great for starting fire. And also map reading
10:56
And then of course one of their... Their basic survival cards that comes with all their knives
11:04
Ok, let's take a look at the fishing kit. Fishing lure. Salmon eggs
11:28
A fly. Bait holders. Leader. Weights. Floats. 50 feet of 12 pound test fishing line
11:35
And a desiccant pack. There it is. Nice float
11:46
Plenty of room in here to add more stuff. That's what I like about this kit so far
11:50
Is like this container. I can add way more fishing equipment to this
11:54
And I have some small flies and things I can add to it. So once you open this and start messing with it
11:59
You can go back in and start adding more stuff. Add things that you feel are missing or that you would like to have
12:06
You're not just... You don't have to just use what they have in their kit
12:10
You can add to it. Because there's so much room in these containers
12:14
Nice little fly. It's all set up and ready to go. You don't have to put it together
12:24
There's the salmon eggs. Other floats. And of course there's your leaders and sinkers
12:30
And all that down there. So pretty decent little fishing kit. Certainly could add more to it
12:38
But I think for what you're getting. It's pretty good. The container has a nice seal to it
12:44
You can see that ring of rubber right there. So that will help keep it water tight
12:54
Plenty of room to add more stuff. And of course if you don't know
12:58
This container is designed to actually boil water. That's why it has this fold out handle
13:02
So we're going to try that too. I think what the first test we'll try
13:06
Is take this thing out in the field. And using the knife
13:10
And the fire starting equipment that they gave to us. We'll start a fire
13:14
Boil some water. Maybe pour that water in the whorl packs for storage
13:18
Try that out. And we'll see how it goes. But we're going to try it out
13:24
Try that out. I'm really curious how this little knife is going to do
13:32
Always hesitant on small knives. But it's an ESEE knife. So I know it's going to work well
13:44
They design great blades. I'm a fan of theirs. For sure. We need to take that cord
13:56
And make a necklace for this. And also for our whistle. And our signal mirror
14:04
Get those on a lanyard. Get our pocket knife on a lanyard
14:08
So we don't lose it. Maybe attach our fire steel to that
14:12
I think the only thing. That I see that's missing from this
14:16
And this is something you would add anyway. Because they probably can't ship it
14:20
Is a butane lighter. And I think you'd be good to go
14:24
But they can't ship those. For obvious reasons. But I think. Being able to add a few
14:32
Extra items of your own. Is what makes this kit so appealing
14:36
And just the fact that. You're getting really quality stuff. This is a quality knife
14:42
I don't even know how much one of these things runs. It's got to be $25 right
14:46
This is probably in the. $30. This is probably in the $40 range
14:52
$50 range for one of these knives. I'll have to look it up
14:56
But you can price this stuff out on your own. So you're getting good stuff
15:00
And then of course. Asento compass. Which I believe are made in Finland. Right
15:08
I mean it's not. Not a cheapo compass. So that's going to cost you a little bit of cash too
15:14
That's probably a $20 compass right there. So far. But those three things
15:20
Are high quality. And everything else seems to be pretty quality stuff too
15:24
I don't see any junk in this kit at all. Alright. So that's it for today
15:30
Remember this is part one video. This is not going to be the only testing of this kit
15:34
I've opened it up. We've seen the contents. The contents look great
15:40
We need to get this thing out in the field. That's going to probably happen tomorrow or the next day
15:44
And then I'll get that video put together for you. Because we definitely need to get this thing outside
15:48
And see how it does. I'm really anxious to test all this gear
15:52
And put it through it's paces. And then as a sneak peek
15:58
The other survival kit that 5 Call Survival Supply sent me. Is this one
16:02
So that is going to be another video coming up. And this thing is
16:06
Another awesome kit. That I'm really looking forward to trying out. And opening it up
16:12
But I'm not going to dig into this quite yet. I want to put the first one
16:16
The SE kit through it's paces first. And then we'll see how it goes
16:20
