Best Glide ASE Adventurer Pocket Survival Tin

hi folks we've got another compact survival kit this is the best glide asc adventurer pocket survival tin and we're going to check it out right now on kit bashed survival so in case you don't know i'm a big fan of compact survival kits i always have been ever since i was a kid i've just been fascinated with compact survival kits and the idea of trying to fit as much gear as possible into a confined space it's just always been something that's appealed to me for some reason and so when i got to be an adult and i had a job and i had some disposable income i began collecting them and building them now sometimes people will bad mouth compact survival kits like this they'll say oh that's completely useless there's nothing in there that would be of any good in a survival situation it's garbage and i feel those people aren't really considering these kits within the proper context these kits are not intended to sustain you for days on end and in my opinion they should never be used on their own with nothing else so let me give you an example of how i like to use these kits i like to go on day hikes a lot i'll go with my girlfriend or someone and when i go on a day hike i'll have a little backpack that i wear and in the backpack i'll keep some gear that i think might be important hopefully i won't have to use most of it but i keep it there just in case something goes wrong so in my bag i might have a couple bottles of water and i'll probably drink some of that during the day hike i'll also have a couple snacks and i might eat those as well during the hike i'll have some sunscreen [Music] i'll have a little bit of cordage there may be some cordage in this kit but i'll usually have a length of cordage on its own just in case if the survival kit i have does not have a space blanket inside i'll carry one of those because they're pretty lightweight i always carry two knives in my pockets i carry a victorinox mini champ and then i'll carry a larger folding knife something like this this is an ontario rat one i'll usually carry a jacket or windbreaker of some sort just in case it gets unexpectedly cold or rains or something like that so i might take this this is my sierra designs jacket in a bag [Music] and then i might carry a fixed blade knife as well something like this this is a mora companion so in this context this kit suddenly becomes a good thing it's not on its own it's not being used without anything else and with all this gear this kit becomes very relevant it's got some extra stuff in there that i might need just in case something goes wrong in case i break a leg or sprain an ankle or get lost or something like that you know it's going to have some equipment to signal and get help some hunting and fishing equipment maybe some water purification pills just in case this water runs out and some other stuff that might come in handy just in case something goes wrong during my day hike so this is what i'm talking about it's all about context on its own you know one of these kits is really not going to get you that far but if you use it in concert with other gear it's a great thing to have anyway with that said let's check out the best glide asc adventurer pocket survival tin which includes military issue items ooh survival camping hunting hiking fishing adventure survival life and then of course on the other side they've got a list of all the gear and you can pause and read that if you want but we're about to find out what's inside anyway so they've got the tin sealed with some electrical tape or vinyl tape if you will and that gives it a little bit of waterproofing take that off and you always want to save the tape because that is part of the survival kit [Music] and there we go up first we've got a survival guide which is very common in these types of survival tins so we've got some basic survival tips pretty much the standard stuff you find in these little brochures that are included in a lot of survival kits which is useful stuff if you're in a survival situation then we've got a fresnel lens so you could use this to start a fire if you had to [Music] we've got a ranger band always a good thing to have [Music] then we've got a signal mirror compact emergency signal mirror i'm not going to open this up it does have a protective cloth on it to protect the mirror and then we've got some yuko survival storm proof matches and you've seen these before these work really well and i believe there's 10 in here yeah 10. not bad [Music] then we've got some water purification powder [Music] this is not my favorite way to purify water but it's better than nothing i'd rather have tablets or even better than that as a life straw or something like that but that's not going to fit in here but they've got this water purification powder stuff chloroflux water purification powder carefully tear up and sachet and add to one liter of water shake for one minute then leave for three minutes swirl for 30 seconds leave for seven minutes filter water through a cloth t-shirt material before drinking and we've got one two three four five six of these and each of these will purify one liter of water so that's not bad you can purify one liter of water with that stuff then we've got a fishing kit this looks to be very similar to the best glide asc basic fishing kit that you can buy separately let's go ahead and open this up and see what all fishing gear is in there it's been a while since i've opened one of these this is one of the better emergency fishing kits out there this one that's made by best glide now i'm not saying it's a tackle box but it is better than most of them that you find in these types of kits so we've got a little grub lure with a hook through it and a sinker that's not bad at all it's very useful we've got a length of line i'm guessing this is probably eight pound test or something like that although i'm sure it probably says on the back of the tin then we've got one of those packets that absorbs moisture and in here we've got some hooks and sinkers so we've got three sinkers and then one two three four five six hooks of varying sizes we've got one two three pieces of cotton tender got a pencil we've got a whistle and this is an acme whistle made in england sounds great you could really get someone's attention with that we've got a button compass [Music] which is accurate we've got a ferro rod and striker to go with that tender not bad not bad at all we've got a couple of twisty ties that's always a good thing to have then we've got some cordage looks like some basic paracord it's not 550 or anything but looks to be pretty good quality yeah and it is striped which is nice probably is reflective as well [Music] then we've got a pretty generous sewing kit i'm not going to take all this out but there are several safety pins a spool of thread two buttons a little thimble thing and several needles so yeah this is not bad at all got some snare wire a good bit of it brass snare wire we've got a wire saw looks to be pretty good quality i mean these things are always going to be limited in what they can do but if you need to saw a small branch or limb this will work then we've got a dermasafe razor knife now we're getting into some first aid stuff so they've got four full-size band-aids in here two butterfly closures and here's another moisture absorbing packet which is a good thing to have in these kits then we've got oh this is nice we've got a one liter whirl pack stand up water bag very nice and that goes with that water purification powder then we've got a couple candles i'm not going to take them out but there's two candles in there and we'll go ahead and take them out so here are the two candles looks like maybe their beeswax candles that's always good then we've got a sticker that has morse code on it and then we've got some ground to air signals and then of course there's the tin itself which could be used to boil water or cook food or what have you so here's all the gear laid out you know this is a typical best glide asc survival kit i think it's pretty darn good the gear inside is both useful and of decent quality there's really nothing to complain about now if it was me personally i would probably reduce the size of the sewing kit and add a small led flashlight in there but that's just me it's really not that big of a deal for a couple reasons number one if you go on a day hike most likely you're gonna have your phone with you and most of those these days have flashlights built in and number two even if you don't have that you've got the candles for light and the ferro rod to make a fire so you'll be okay now there's not a whole lot of extra room in this kit but i will add one more item and that is this mini med kit that contains four ibuprofens two benadryls and one imodium and that'll do it so let's go ahead and repack this thing [Music] do [Music] so there you have it the best glide ase adventurer pocket survival tin i think this thing is pretty good good quality useful gear inside and as i said as long as you use this thing in the proper context and by that i mean in concert with other gear it can be a really good thing to have anyway i hope you enjoyed this video let me know what you think in the comments below for now that's it i'm eric siegel this is kit bashed survival thanks for watching and i'll see you next time [Music] you
