Sugar and honey has been used to treat battlefield wounds for hundreds of years. It has something to do with osmotic pressure. It was popular during the Napoleon Wars. The sugar draws lymph into the wound, nourishing regenerating tissues, preventing bacteria growth, drying them out and leaving them weak and fragile. After that it promotes new tissue growth that causes infection, swelling is reduced, white cells that help clean and debride the wound are attracted and nourished, and a protective layer of protein is formed over the wound. Sugar also deodorizes necrotic wounds.

I found carrying a few of those plastic drinking straws that are filled with honey are very useful and pack easily. Can be used as an energy booster a sweetener. Antiseptic. Works well on cuts and burns. I also do the same with the pine pitch that comes out of the little blisters on spruce trees. I collet a bunch in a little jar and then put it into straws of different lengths for use as many things like wound care fire starting and much more I have also used straws for single serve salt and pepper or other spices I have some straws that have vasealine soaked cotton or jute twine in one end and a couple strike anywhere matches on the other then I just fold over the ends and heat seal them with an old clothes iron keeps things good and dry until needed

Imagine that 😮
So many people talk about being minimalist and having more skills but I think it's important for people to be aware of all the potential pieces of equipment and supplies that can be useful for survival
I dont mind a 1 hour video of you explaining every single item xd
I carry a a small lockpick that has about the size and appearance as a small pocketknife. Back in the 1970's I would carry a couple small Allen wrenches for lockpicking. Bobbie pins bend too easily for the work. In the past few years, I have switched from carrying 550 paracord to 550 braided fish line. It has the same test strength with far less volume. Because of this I can easily carry 100' or more in my pocket with plenty of room left for other items. I also carry a small tube of travel sized Vaseline and a small Ziplock bag of cotton balls. I think they are more versatile if I keep them separate until needed. I use a space blanket with orange on one side for signaling.

I trade out the Vaseline for tube of anti-boitic Ointment( not creme), think Neosporin etc. It's 99% petroleum jelly and does the same as Vaseline, but worth its weight in first aid value. A simple cut, while you're up the wrong creek can be bad news. You can also get it in the single use foil packs to keep in a kit.
My wife kept asking me about why I have a Camo compact in my B.O.B. so I made her watch one of your older videos lol... She then said "So it is a army thing." lol
Andrew, I usually pack 3 mylar space blankets with me! Use one to reflect heat on me in a lean-to deibri shelter, one for a debri bedbcover & one for cover..
A good item for your ifak is liquid skin. It's a tiny little tube that, when applied, acts like a plaster (band aid) and stays on for 4-5 days even with showers and baths. It automatically protects a cut.
If you're going to fish, I would recommend a fishing lure called a rooster tail, which has a silver spinner spoon and yellow hairs. I'm not really into fishing but that lure always works for me. A plain fishing hook won't do you good without bait, and bread spoils fast, so having a spinner with you will make fishing worth the effort. (I know bait can be dug up from the ground if needed, but I mean if you don't want to go bug hunting.)

Those do work pretty well. Another thing I do is I seal up in a straw 6 to 10 of those Berkley Crappie Nibble Power Baits. Those will last dang near forever in a sealed-up straw, and they work VERY well alone or added to the hook of a lure to add scent in the water.
I carry my cordage inside my walking staff. Its a 2.5cm hollow steel tube and its 1.5m long... Room for lots of stuff in there. Very strong, very useful.
Pocket carry is the most important to me because those items are the most likely things that you will have handy when they are needed. Nothing in this list is very expensive, but they're good items to always have. The cutlery looks to be the most expensive out of everything shown, but most people I know usually have at least one pocket carry knife at all times Thanks for the video. Looking forward to many more
I started using "Twistons" lead weight (fly fishing supplies) instead of split shot. They are flat strips of Lead that you can cut to the size you need, Light or heavy, and they fit in the sachet much better than split shot sinkers.

Lumitop Edc01 flashlight with a diffuser is more versatile than a chemlight, can be used to buzzsaw to and in general a great little flashlight.
Sir, T Y again, Skipper! Great collection. I have four tiers of survival kits now. 1) Flat metal container twice the size of an Altoids can, with a real compass, mini tool, lighter, penlight, etc. 2) small shoulder bag with headlamp, ammo, snacks, Buck Woodsman 102, sharpener, tourniquets, protein base bug repellant, etc. 3) crossover pack with ammo, cooking pot, snacks, 3 ml drum liners, paracord, compass, maps, flashlight, etc. 4) medium ALCE pack with water filter, canteens, ammo, food, tools, light tent, sleeping bag, pad, tarp, etc. on a standard frame. Total weight ideally under 40 lbs., with flex to add several gallons of water, especially in hot desert. Plus bear killer handgun & folding single-shot 12 gauge with caliber inserts & a light.

Sounds really good but may I suggest a first aid kit too 😁
Just a small tweak on the cotton ball item: I switched to carrying cotton makeup remover pads. They are compressed fairly flat, but can easily be fluffed up to the same loft as a cotton ball. They can be cut to fit a specific spot in your kit, or for a specific use. I just find them to be a tidier, more versatile option to a cotton ball, without giving up any of the used and advantages of a cotton ball.
Great job Andrew, I'm an old Marine (mid 60's) not really able to bug out, but I really enjoy your videos brother. GOD bless and Semper Fi
For urban survival, I'm planning on buying a wallet size bogata lockpick set with a padlock shiv.
I got a tip from a friend. Unroll the liter bag and put 2 or 3 of those foil 2 Packs of water purification tablets at the bottom, then roll it back up. That way you always have them where you need them. Same guy always told me to carry a 2 pack and an unlubricated condom in my wallet for the same reason. I like to have one of those fobs with a compass, magnifier & thermometer on the zipper pull of my fleece too.
I have more videos saved from Andrew than any other channel 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have most of those items... I would add Dental floss to sew with pre- string the needle and wrap it around cardboard.... and a thin guitar string as a snare.. small one use tube of super glue... Single use Neosporin.. Burn gel..and a few medium bandaids and a razor blade taped up most of the way with just a quarter inch tip exposed...
I live in the desert South West and keeping food in a vehicle for emergencies can be difficult because of the heat. My go to for my kits is the "Jawbreaker" candies. It's not food, but it is energy. I get the smaller size, around 3/4 inch and with each individually wrapped. I put roughly 8 in snack bag and add this to my car kits. I have had these for years and they are still good to go. They don't melt or go bad from heat. It's another of those "set it and forget it" types of emergency preparedness.
Many people around me are surprised by just what is in my pockets. I often say, "My pockets get me to my bag that gets me to my vehicle, that gets me home. I'm always ready to go."
Using a bobin to properly store fishing line (and/or snare wire) is an excellent idea. If I can make a suggestion, consider to wrap around it a small section of a bicycle inner tube, to help keeping the line nice and tight. You can even use this trick to seal/waterproof the lids of small vials of pills or matches. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻😃
You have undoubtedly heard this one. The BiC lighter with the long end with the piezoelectric lighting method. Love this, keeps fire starting from burning fingers. Less burn cream. As always, thanks Major!
That is pocket carry for people with deep pockets, maybe a field jacket. For most urbanites carrying a minimal EDC, a "get home bag" would be covering most of the above. Urbanites should also understand which resources can be had in an emergency. Obviously, food and water from cash accepting shops, but work places have food and drink machines, kitchens, water fountains and everyone come with internal storage for food and water. Workplaces have first aid kits, scissors,workmans toolkits, long sticks ( attached to brooms and mops). Most goods-in areas have packing materials including tape and foam on a roll. This foam fabric can make improvised warm and waterproof clothing, tarp, groundsheet etc. You should have a mental list of things to raid, in priority order, whilst everyone else is processing the new situation.
Thanks positive reinforcement wins the day 🎉❤😊
Ive been bushwacking for 50yrs. Picked up a few new ideas from you sir. Thanks alot from 🇨🇦
Thank you sir for the very comprehensive look at items for our kits. A lot of work for you, but well worth it. Good education AND reminders on gear needed to survive.
Our young troops gave this video a thumbs up. The reason, they were happy to learn that their DIY kits have most of these items and they know how to use each piece.
Hi Andrew, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺, thank you for your time to make these videos available. You forgot the most important thing 1, knowledge 2, skills 3, The will to survive These extra 3 pieces weigh a lot, however without them you won't survive.

That is the most important skill.
Holy smokes almost 180k subs! Awesome to see. I originally subbed when you had less than 10,000. Great to see more people learning from you. You are an excellent instructor. Take care.
This is a great collection of tools. With one exception, I'd never carry a Buck knife when I could carry a SAK with multiple functions in the same size !
What did you pry the Suunto compass out of? I like the Suunto GITD Clipper model in my kits but I'd also like that Suunto in that style to replace the crap Chinese button compass. HardCase Survival sells those ceramic blades with a nice clear plastic sheath so you don't need to gum it up with tape. The Shomertec model comes in a bulky tube with no sheath.
Hey Andrew, you ended up using the bobbins! Let’s goo. I knew the subs would go up in time. Nice.
Out of the 35 to 40 You Tube Chanels that I watch on Bush Crafting and Survival Camping topic I like yours the best. Your a Very high cut above the rest. Thank You for what you do and keep it up we all NEED this. Again Thank You
Great video, Andrew. In regards to the survival bivy SOL makes an Escape Bivy that is breathable. It runs a bit on the small side sizewise. But it is a pretty lightweight option compared to a gortex bivy. Stay safe.

Learning great inventory and packing skills from this channel. Thanks!
Major Andrew thanks for sharing these excellent items for pocket carry and survival kits 👍🇺🇸
Hey Andrew, another great video. Do you think you can do a video on knot tying with the most useful knots that you use in the field? Thanks guy
That is a lot of good knowledge to have. My pea brain is going to have to watch this video over and over. LOL 😂. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
As a kid in the 80s I often had bits of kit like these in my pockets. I'm now 50 and still carry a few essentials on me.
Thanks for another great video. I want one of everything. I’m not greedy though.😊 I don’t think I can get it all in my cargo pants. Lol.😅
This is hands down my absolute favourite bushcraft channel on KZread. I really appreciate all the time and ambition you put into these videos and you have really given me a big interest in bushcraft and survival. Your videos are very proffesional and well thought out and i surely have become much more confident and calmer in the wilderness tnaks to you, Keep it up.
You might also add braided fishing line to the kit. It is super strong, and very difficult to cut. It has many uses and a 100 feet takes up very little space. Great video.
Thanks Col.
Absolutely love this pod cast
Thank god finally someone has the water filter ty
Outstanding video,content/channel. Just throw out to you & get your thoughts on adding surgical tubing … many uses and relatively easy to carry… you decide what amount to carry. Keep up the great work. 👊🏼🇺🇸✌🏻
I love wearing the wazoo cache belt... you can fit so much of this stuff in there and you don't even notice it.
We used to sow those ceramic blades under the velcro tabs on our smocks and dental floss under another with just a small bit sticking out, so it just looked like a loose thread
Hi Andrerw. Thumbs up big time on this one! Stay safe. ATB. Nigel

another super video of pocket survival Andrew I reckon you should market your own survival tins small to large 😁😉
Just tested lying on a torso pad with a space blanket over me, I got colder, didn't work. What did work was a blanket with a 55gal trash bag over me like a bivy sack to keep the wind off me and was warm without gloves.
Lots of great ideas here. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks, Andrew for the wonderful and useful information 👍.
All around useful items everyone should carry into the wild. Allow for some remarks: the #60 scalpel-blades are scary sharp and the edge goes almost to the butt, hard to grab without cutting yourself - I got a slipjoint handle from temu for these blades for 11€, a valuable addition to any kit. They have a scandi grind and make great feathers as well as fine shavings with their spine, as they are stamped out of a metal strip. Dyneema fishing line too is a great addition - I got some 120lbs line, that's only 0.8mm in diameter, you can carry large amounts in a space of 5ft of paracord for all binding tasks. I got a 1,000ft spool for under 20€, use it for heavy-duty sewing too. Missed some salt or buillion-cubes in your recommendations - electolytes are as important as rehydration.
Outstanding

Definitely would want AD meds and Tylenol, other meds as space allows. Small supermagnets are versatile. Dental floss is handy for hygiene and cordage. Electrical tape is more compact than 100mph tape and can be used with electrical items. Small tube of superglue is handy for repair or wound closure. The smallest Swiss Army Knife is super handy. A Versatool or other pocket driver is especially handy in an urban environment. A cheap pencil sharpener is useful and compact. Depending on environment, infrared strobes are also highly compact if you want to be located. Hand sanitizer if space allows, but soap is a requirement. Multitool on belt. Larger flashlight with clip for pocket can be carried where knives are restricted, but bright enough to dazzle potential opponent and also useful as fistload or striking tool. Throw a P-38 or P-51 can opener in the kit. Knipex Cobra XS can do things a multitool is incapable of. A small tool capable of cutting chain link fence is advisable for urban carry; I like the Knipex CoBolt. A small putty knife is innocuous, but useful for gaining access in an urban environment.
Looking many small items.....bet you can figure out how to carry most/every item on a neck lanyard. Certainly a few loose items in a small pouch/container which can be on the lanyard. Maybe you can develop a pocket pouch for each item category? How many pockets needed of what size? Best pocket location for each pouch?
I added a pen light BLACK , because a lot of times there are things we can't see in our light spectrum . GIRMMS , CHIMERICALS , POISONSOUS INSECTS , or my favorite , PUBLIC BATHROOMS ! 😁😁 😁
