My all time favorite dollar store survival item is one of those bubble wrap style, reflective car window shades. They provide a little bit of cushion and reflect body heat back at you. They can block wind, rain and sun and they weigh next to nothing.

Eric, you sort of giggled and poo-pooed your shelter item, but what most folks don't realize, because it's frequently glossed over in "survival" videos, is how much leaves and sticks and bark and other such stuff is required to make a debris shelter that is even marginally rain "resistant", even if it is the very small, one man, wickiup style. That sheet of .7 mil plastic is just the thing to lay over a stick framework before piling on the debris for insulation or camouflage and be guaranteed that the structure will repel water and not require all the work of gathering up to 2 feet of debris. I think that this is the best extended use for pocket sized Mylar "blankets" (nobody demonstrates this on the channels I follow), but the 108 square feet of that sheet makes it even better than Mylar, as far as coverage goes. It doesn't matter that it is thin or fairly fragile after it has been covered with the debris. It will be protected at that point. I didn't know that plastic sheeting that large could be bought in that lightweight version and I will be looking for those drop cloths to add to my kits. The plastic sheet, the paring knife, the dog collar light, combo manicure/sewing kit (maybe even add some fishing items from Walmart) were all items I'll look for. Did the bottles that you put the coffee in come from the Dollar Store? Very helpful video, good work!

Living in Australia we literally rely on a bag like this to pick up and run with when fires hit. This can be each summer with scorching temperatures. I would add to this a tarp to erect for shelter with the rope you showed, and a water purifier straw. You can get those at camping stores. I would also add long sleeve clothes if you're in a fire area ! Thankfully we have the fire service to tell us when we should leave and when it's too late to leave and shelter in place ! I encourage you to look online how quickly black Saturday affected people here and how you must always have a plan in place even if you don't think you'd need it ! I also strongly encourage people to pack a week's worth of essential medications, per food, and also some sort of emergency shelter. Usually when the emergency services evacuate is here we are sent to a centre with others. I think also something to pass the time and some emergency long life snacks are really important! Preparedness is key ! Sonia, Australia

Another thing you can do when you go to the Dollar tree is run through that crafting aisle. So many things there Hot glue sticks, unvarnished wood dowels or sticks for tinder, sometimes they have stainless steel travel tumblers there with lids for five bucks. Yes it's five bucks. But it's a nice option and especially if it's single wall because you can pull the lid off and boil your water in that. Also they usually have metal pet food bowls, and those could come in handy too.

Unscented bleach would be another water purification option that one should be able to source from a dollar store. On a morale/caffeine front, they often have those little MiO-style bottles where they have flavor concentrate + caffeine available at dollar stores as well. Some of those little bottles can be taken apart and put back together to be reusable in some way, though I haven't yet figured out what a good use for them would be, but I think there is at least some promise there. I'm feeling pretty vindicated seeing that you also noticed the promise of that little LED dog light, too. I was tickled pink the first time I noticed one of them and its possibilities. The suture needle from the hair weave kit was a pretty sharp move, too.

To help with the bag situation, since you purchased a sewing kit, you can reinforce the places on the bag that are apt to rip or fail ahead of time. And you're not spending any extra dollars because you used your dollar store items. *on* the dollar store item, if that makes sense.

I think these video clips are brilliant as people can get started on a budget then slowly replace items for better quality pieces if they wish to. We have discount stores & the famous Reject Shop here in Australia. During flooding I made a couple of kits to give as Xmas gifts & on 1 trip away my colleague was stranded in her car with her hubby but had these kits to get through the long delay.

Great video! Some commented on adding those sun windshield reflectors to sleep on,and may I suggest to add a clear or whatever color shower curtain rather than the table cloths, which are very thin and tend to tear easily. Use the shower curtain as a lean-to shelter and the clear drop cloth as a super shelter to retain some heat. Just a thought…………😊

This kit is a good idea for having "spare" kits for family members. You can put them together fairly inexpensively and maybe upgrade items as you can afford it or as family members gain an interest in preparedness. It covers the basics for a short amount of time and can be supplemented with a vehicle kit if need be. I typically call my preparedness gear "camping gear" since most of my family has little interest. Last couple years they have been showing a little more interest though.

I’d love if you hit up several stores, maybe still at budget. And maybe weird stores like Home Depot or lowes, or target/Walmart or grocery store, also like to see you use them on your camping trips, not necessarily as survival challenge or anything but take bag with you and film some situations and that bag.

Great job! I would add for water purification: small/travel size dropper bottle, bleach, latex balloons to stretch over top of bottle to prevent leaks.

I will say that I am surprised that you didn’t get an emergency blanket or 2 and an emergency poncho. These items are available at the dollar tree that I go to along with a plastic coffee mug or tumbler

Some thoughts: -stuff as many Cliff Bars & trail mix bags into every vacant space possible -salt -can opener (scavenging) -a lot of dollar stores sell a decent 10-12” crowbar -add a jacket that “you’re already wearing” along with thermal hat and a strong EDC & I do believe you’ll make it to your retreat 👍🏼

Great job Eric! Just a few suggestions swap out the plastic cup for a can of soup, the plastic cup will most likely crack and form leaks when hot water is poured in. Some dollar stores carry the reflective windshield inserts for blocking the Sun in the summer, they make a nice sleeping pad. Also for ground cover a table cloth would give you a dry spot. I agree with you about adding water filtration to the kit and since it’s winter adding a blanket from Goodwill (keeping with the affordable concept) the blanket could be used with the para cord to bundle up your gear. Last but certainly not least, Happy New Year! I’m looking forward to another year of great content, the last few years have been fun and informative.

My dollar store has aluminium cups with carabiners for handles. It's super lightweight and you can clip it to your back pack so it saves space inside. It think those kind of cups would be fairly easy to find elsewhere too.

Also eye drops or saline solution in case of emergency. I understand this is for emergencies and to do it cheap but also don't forget to have travel sizes of any prescriptions you may require. Check with your doctor or pharmacist to see if they have sample sizes of your regular medication. Still overall a very good video. I'm writing down the items you suggested as we speak. Oh! And those portable ice packs. The ones you crack to activate. Heat packs for hands and feet can also be used for muscle strain etc.

Great job putting this kit together. It turns out you don’t need to spend a bunch of $$ for a simple kit. You’re not going to survive for many days on this kit, but it’s great to keep in the back of the car for those unexpected emergencies. Keep up the great content!

This kit might be ok for a couple of days . . if your camping in the backyard .

Better backpacks can be found during sales through out the year; just inspect the seams and handles. Many decades ago my child wanted to get some name brand items for school, I explained my budget and we then went to the Old Navy store as demanded. One look at the prices and I was being dragged out the door (chuckles). We then went to a discount store and after inspecting the seams and zippers we got new shoes and 6 outfits; later for the holidays I bought three additional shirts, a pair of jeans, socks and new shoes with my quarterly bonus. Several of the other kids asked where we got two of the favorite tee shirts, so my kid became a trend setter of a sort.

Move the tape measure to the fire bag, a bit of kindling

At 6:05 that “stretch tape” is called Coban. It was borrowed from horse medicine. As a side note it is sold in multiple camo patterns on Amazon & provides for clean, zero- adhesive camouflaging of gear from stainless water bottles to rifles. As always great effort, Eric 👍🏼

Yes. Well done.

I bought a bag of those expanding hand sheets. But I got mine from Amazon. They look like white coins before you expand them with water. Then they unfold into pretty big size sheets. It came with a plastic tube. I think it holds 12. It's good for keeping them dry on a hike or camp trip. I'll look next time at my dollar store to see if they sell those kids ones, but I'm fairly sure they don't. We'll see.

The 'little medal thing' in the manicure set is a cuticle pusher. It also works to dig the grime out from under your nails.

Swap coffee filters with bandanas. And leave out the water magic rags. Bandanas are multi purpose.

Tip for instant coffee: purchase a vial of coffee or espresso extract. It's the oils from the coffee that are lost during the freeze drying process. Just add a couple of drops to each cup of coffee and it's good as new! Make sure you get extract used for cooking and not essential oils, which are used for cosmetics and scents.

You have to balance budget friendly versus dependable when making a survival bag. Start with a dependable bag, a multitool or leatherman knife, water filtration, fire starting item, water boiling pot/container and a strong tarp/tent for shelter. Then fill with budget items to fill out your needs. jmo

I am not in the US anymore since I'm in the UK for school, but one thing that is so good at dollar tree is a pair of small scissors in the craft aisle. They are sharp and small. I got a ton of them for my kits back home. I have yet to figure out how prepping works here since laws are different and I'm unsure about the knife laws and such. But yes, try them out. They are in the craft aisle and have a pink handle. The blade is a little less than two inches I believe? I was able to get them through tsa perfectly fine.

Great Idea 👍 Great Kit👍 Great Video 👍

Great video. I would definitely exchange the knife for a mora it's a small but infinitely better choice.

BTW .. Walmart now sells a Sawyer water bottle 32 oz with a sawyer filter inside..19.99..!! I have a regular Sawyer filter in my vehicle get home bag.. but I wanted the water bottle in filter for when I travel out of the country

i like this idea! the best part is, that most of the survival bags ppl buy or put together are sitting for years in some closet or trunk. why putting a big amount of cash just away without use? Ok the bagback is pretty useless, but the rule was that it must be from the dollarstore.

Definitely like what did here. Now me for a non dollar tree item I add. Is simply a Fiskars folding saw or cheap but good hatchet. Course like you said a better backpack and a water filter straw . Now for dollar store item I would add can opener and some diamond stick matches and fork and spoon.

So cute hearing the meow meows in the background

A cheap upgrade for the bag is pick one up after back to school. Also, if you plan to make several, say one for each family member, bulk on Amazon may be cheaper.

For nice bags and backpacks really cheap, check Walmart and other stores a couple weeks after school starts. They mark down $20 & $30 Nike, Adidas, other brand bags to $5, $3, and even $1.

Nice little kit. I would add a multi tool, and exchange the plastic cup for a tin cup. It needs a poncho, also. I’d advise a bigger, stronger backpack, though,so you would have room for a second bottle of water or two, a change of clothes, and a shower curtain for a ground cover. I know it’s not sticking strictly to Dollar Tree, but some needed things just can’t be found there.

I would definitely get the basics like the small first aid stuff and some of the toiletries from there (loved the water expanding cloth idea!). But I would definitely get a better bag, more medical supplies, water filter a d also purification tablets, and maybe some better organizers. Also a portable emergency tent and thermal blanket, plus a good multi tool. You'll be happy you spent more on better quality items if your life depends on it.

Good kit. Needs to have at least 2 of those drop cloths plus more cordage; add a blanket/equivalent (heavy bedsheet, "fleece throw," etc) and a poncho. If the bag will hold it, add a sweater/hoodie (warm and dry matter; a change of sox is good, so are gloves. Add some moleskin to your first-aid supplies, and some alcohol pads, and a travel-size bar of soap just for safety's sake). One more boil-in-able container would be good, too. You did well on the knife choices!

10/2/2023 In a survival situation, food and water are the most difficult items on the list to obtain. Knowing where to get and how to prepare food is very important. The Knorr rice side dish mixes (or noodle) are superb survival food sources. The one you showed (Spanish Rice) along with the small canned ham (or a can of chicken) and diced tomatoes will make quite a meal, feed up to 4 people with smaller portions. The rice side by itself can get you by (one person`) for 2 days. 5 sides, different flavors, some canned meat and some sort of vegies added, feeds one person, about 1 week. additionally if its from the dollar store, your looking at food cost of around $20 for 1 weeks of SURVIVAL food. I make quick home meals with Knorr side dishes all the time. I like the "Taco Rice, Alfredo noodle flavor, Teriyaki noodle or rice, chicken noodle flavor and Stroganoff I add canned meat or jerky, and frozen mixed veggies to some. The chicken noodle flavor has a neat trick. Prepare by package directions, but add a large can of chicken, 1 cup frozen mixed veggies, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3 additional cups water. Also a large tomato bullion cube, if you want. This makes the best tasting chicken veggie soup I've ever had. Here you have shown that in an emergency, someone can obtain a basic supply of "survival supplies". Now just imagine, going to a big box store and buying everything needed over time, a little at a time, and better stuff. Then you can have a really good "survival bag" and not break the bank. ;-)

Hi Eric! Glad to see you back! Another awesome idea and video! Keep them coming Eric! Thanks and well done!

divide your fire kit into two zip locks then put them in a third if the bag gets wet you have two chances on having something dry to start your fire with.

Good kit. Covers the basics. You knew what to include.

I would have designed the survival bag based upon the following priorities: foot health (because if you cannot walk, you will not get very far), basic hygiene and minor first aid, staying dry when it is rainy/muddy, staying warm when it is cold and/or windy, staying hydrated and having enough energy for walking 2-3 days. I would want to keep the bag and its contents as light as possible because drinking water is always heavy to carry. I would assume I could use the Kershaw folding knife I always carry with me. I would also assume I was appropriately dressed for the climate and was wearing sensible footwear. For foot health I would want a change of socks, a pair of cushion insoles, some moleskin, a small tube of petroleum jelly and one ace bandage. For basic hygiene I would want a small bar of soap, a large bandana or cotton scarf, a small underarm deodorant, a toothbrush and a small hair comb. Would also want a few adhesive strip bandages and a tube of triple antibiotic ointment for scratches. A woman would probably want to carry a small amount of feminine hygiene supplies too. For staying dry I would want a couple a lawn trash bags to make into ponchos, a folding rain hat, some kind of plastic sheeting material for making into a pup tent and ground cloth (maybe plastic shower curtains or plastic tablecloths) and about 10 - 12 feet of nylon cordage or paracord. For warmth, I would want to be able to cut some dry firewood and build a lean-to, so a folding pruning saw would be very good to have as well as a couple of mini butane lighters. For staying hydrated, I would start with a large bottle of Gatorade or similar product and just keep refilling it with clean water from outdoor faucets when possible. But I would also want a metal cup for boiling water and a metal mesh grid such as a cake rack to set onto rocks so the cup would be over a small campfire for boiling water. The bandana could filter debris from ditch water before boiling the water one cup at a time. For food, I would be looking for a lot of carbs, fat, and salt that could pack into a small space and not need cooking. That means little packets of dried fruit, shelled nuts, chocolate bars, packets of Lance's peanut butter and crackers, caramel candies... It would not be a "healthy" or balanced diet but would provide adequate calories for three days of walking. Based upon an average caloric need of 2000 calories per day for your typical middle-aged, under active, couch potato, I would want to have about 3000 calories of food with the expectation of also burning some body fat during each day's walk. It would be nice to have a head lamp and clear goggles for safe walking at night. It would also be very nice to have a few N-95 face masks to avoid breathing dust, smoke particles and asbestos particles that are likely to be in the air post-earthquake, wildfire, etc. But the bandana would have to do if N-95 masks were not available. It is also nice to have a small role of Gorilla Tape or duck/duct tape to make minor repairs such as holding in place the flapping sole of an athletic shoe when the shoe glue fails. And, of course, it is very nice to have $500-$1000 cash to buy transportation, lodging, and other nice things if they are available because taking the bus beats walking and staying in a motel with a hot shower and flushing toilet beats camping in the woods. Instead of buying a cheap quality children's book bag or flimsy backpack that will not hold up to a three-day hike, I would look for two sturdy cloth tote bags, connect them with bungie cording and hang each bag from a shoulder. It would be kind of like saddle bags and could distribute the weight evenly along each side of the body if packed carefully.

Enjoyed the vid, it was very well thought out IMHO. This bag can in a pinch, definitely get you through an emergency. Without a doubt 😉👍

And the legend posts again! Great work!

Good evening from Syracuse NY brother and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures

Someone may have already mentioned this, but in case not, a small tube or vial that can be sealed could be used to hold some bleach. Not sure the measurements, but I do think it was four drops per gallon to purify water. And many gallons could be purified that way once they’ve been filtered.

I forgot my ground tarp for a hiking trip and the only thing I could get locally was one of those plastic drop cloths, it drove me round the twist and was only useful one night. Even a really cheap tarp or cheap shower curtain is better than this. I got some garbage bags which I used after that and were better. Maybe having a look at what you have at home already should be option one if you're broke. Make-up remover pads and duck tape make improvised bandages and the gas station knife with the skulls on the handle you bought because it made you laugh is still better than dollar store knives. You probably throw out lots of useful containers everyday. If the rucksack really was your only option doing some additional stitching and adding some additional patches of material to a few places would give you a few more miles out of it. I've tried to make a few silk purses out of pigs ears over the years with some success but they always drop to pieces in the end.

Welcome back! I missed you. You did an excellent job. On the plastic pencil sharpener... the first time you stick a twig in there you'll break it. you need a metal sharpener to get the shavings... I made that mistake a couple of times...

If they had them at the dollar store, I would substitute a rain poncho for the 0.7 mil plastic sheeting. Benefits: rain/cold outerwear, backpack protection, shelter, rainwater collection and depending on the thickness, travois. Being vegan, I'd swap the luncheon loaf for sunflower seeds, preferably kernels, which are a lighter weight superfood and protein. Better choice for diabetics, too, being low carb. And it's not a tree nut or ground nut, for those with allergies. If you have dental issues, you can soak them to soften. You could even grind them to make a flour and add a little water to make a paste, should you need those things. Also, I would substitute the small jar of petroleum jelly for the lip balm tube. That way, if you need to use it on the cotton balls for fire starting, you don't have to use the whole contents in one go. A little dab'll do ya. Then you have some left for lips, skin care and wound dressing. Otherwise, well done. Thanks for preparing the video and sharing.

This is enough to get you home. And better equiped than some way more expensive bags. Ad a thrift store back pack and you would be in good shape

Very Helpful. Thank you.

Budget upgrade, emergency poncho. I think I paid 99 cents for one at Walmart last year. Knife, in my opinion is the tool worth investing in. Tons of affordable, quality options. And I may have missed it but, cordage. I remember seeing small sections of jute twine, it wouldn't be very expensive to throw a whole roll in there. Great for fire starting and sufficient for making a lot of different shelters. Excellent video.

I used some of these items in a couple of bags kits I made for myself and others.
