What did I miss in this kit?

Other than a copy of your fishing license I think I would add a good Whistle. There is just so many things people add to kits that are nice to have but are they really necessary when space is limited. As in a marine radio and a signal flare, signal mirror ....... the list can go on and on, your in a kayak, most likely on a small lake ... keep it simple

I'll say a fox 40 whistle(Hands down the best on the market and they're Canadian made) . BUT if I were All American Prepper I'd say Waterproof Survival Kits are for pussies!

Going with whistle also, unless it's on the life vest. Plus the multitool is a bit big. A Gerber Dime or Leatherman Squirt would do the job. O ring on the BIC to prevent bleeding gas. Fresnel lens. Mirror. Nail clippers. Always more nail clippers. Buy them by the kilo. Big toenail size, smaller ones are a waste.

Nice kit Ben. I have a fishing kayak and I also have that waterproof box and the goal zero power bank. I normally use the box for my wallet and keys and anything else I don’t want to get wet, but now you’ve got me thinking. I like making up kits for different applications and this would be a great rainy day project. I always have a good safety kit with me but i do like this idea.

I’ve been kayaking for years ,, I always keep a survival gear in a water proof bag. Believe me it comes in handy all the time . Last year a friend of mine cut herself and needed a band aid. She didn’t have one , but you no what ,, I did ! I also have moleskin, wet wipes, tweezers, bug spray , and more ,, kinda like a minature big out bag . , you did great Ben . Glad to see someone finally do a kayak survival kit . 👍 good job .

Very well thought out kit

Nice video with great ideas, i just pass few, so now i can added thx 🚣‍♀️🤙

Great kit

Love that kit! Put together perfectly! Can I just buy that off of you! Lol ?

Probably won't fit in the kit but axmap of whatever lake or area you are in would be a good idea, with a compass

Are you still doing homestead videos? We just bought our first house and those types of videos would come in handy.

Great video Ben!!

Awesome!!! ;-)

Unless you know the lakes well I hope a compass is in your load out somewhere.

I’ve used my compass a couple of times crossing a large lakes in a fog. One of the times I thought I knew where I was going and ended up circling back to my starting point. Red faced I got out my compass, set the course and made it across. I learned my lesson and the second time I got the compass out immediately when a fog rolled in.

Oxxnarr D'flame I’ve been there too on Lake Huron. I’ll add one, thanks.

Wrap the tape around a used gift card to cut down the space it takes up

good size kit, I hate those altoids kits and everyone saying they are survival kits....can't survive with a little kit like that...this makes a lot more sense...

That Sawyer is a bit too bulky. Especially when you consider you’re not going to need to filter hundreds of gallons of water. Just get a HydroBlu Sidekick straw and call it good. Also not sure about the usefulness of the glow sticks. Again, if space was no concern, I’d say go for it.

John Smith glow sticks could be useful for many reasons. Break em at night if your lost and want to be found. They don’t get hot and as long as they’re not old they’ll work.

Pulled the plug, eh? Who died? Oh... You meant 'pulled the trigger' lol

My tea got cold as you babbled on and on

Let’s be honest. You say Survival Kit. So in “My Area” I would loose the power bank. I would add to the kit some bug juice (100 % deet 🇨🇦) and some sun screen. I know you said theses are in your first aid kit but you did say Survival, also a head net for Bugs. I would also add some tinder to help with a fire. So let’s play this out .... you are on the side of a lake and storm ⛈ just dumped you in the lake. As you make it to shore hopefully with your kit. It’s a well traveled lake but now it’s getting dark and your wet and all you have is your kit and PDF. Your PDF has some insulation value and also has a knife and a whistle. So now what......you need to spend the night. Number 1 core temperature, 2 shelter, 3 water. If you have to spend even one night out in wet cold temperatures it’s all about core temp. Your kit has cover, thermal protection, fire 🔥 if your one lighter works. A little food would help with core temp, but now what.... so what are you missing?
