Trust me I watched every second of eatch video for "research" purposes and its a lot worse all together. For 400$ I can blow the kit out of the water with less items purchased even.


Its not too difficult to actually have some decent kit (esp if using some choice ex-mil surplus) rather than $400 worth (huh) of mainly junk. i.e. why have 4 different junk compasses when you can get a good one for $12.

The water bottle in the video was basically a joke, you might as well just have used a flimsy milk carton when there are much more substantial Soda PET bottles around for free.
