all right guys we’re at my local walmart and today we’re going to
0:24
all right guys now there’s no doubt that our first stop on our walmart trip
0:27
is going to be the outdoor section we’re going to be able to pick up 90
0:31
of the items we need for our survival kit in the camping section
0:50
so since we are on a budget we’re going to be thinking about what our highest priorities are
0:54
and make sure we get items that cover those in our kit so i’m talking about things like food water
1:00
fire first aid shelter things like that that are going to be essential to our survival we’re going
1:07
to make sure we get those things in our kit first and then depending on how much we have left in our
1:12
budget we’ll move on to some more comfort items and sanitation and light and things like that
1:32
now what’s great about walmart is they have such a big variety of
1:36
products that you can really spend as little or as much as you want and you’ll notice that
1:41
in a lot of things that we’re looking at on these aisles that there are several different
1:45
products that can accomplish the same thing at different price points so to stay in our 100
1:52
budget we’re going to be getting the best products we can while still staying inside of our budget
2:12
all right guys this is everything we picked up on our walmart trip we spent right at 99 and
2:18
80 something cent we wanted to get as much gear as we could in here without going over
2:23
that hundred dollars now we’re going to get in here and show you everything that we got
2:27
but one great thing about walmart is that they have so much variety that you could really swap
2:32
some of these out for other items and add or take away or even upgrade some of these things
2:38
now as we’re going along through these i will be giving you guys some alternatives to some of these
2:42
items that you could swap out and still stay under that 100 price point i will also link to all these
2:48
things in the description below if you want to get them for yourself now let’s dive right in all
2:53
right the first thing we’re going to talk about here guys is the bag itself this is the day pack
2:58
from outdoor products it’s actually a pretty good quality backpack and it only ran us around 9.95
3:05
it does have one large compartment in the back with some extra storage in there
3:11
and then another compartment in the front you see it does have some organizational pockets down in
3:16
there as well and then another zipper pouch on the front for some quick access items as well as a
3:22
spot for a water bottle on both sides i think this is going to make a great base for our survival kit
3:29
and at just under 10 bucks you can’t beat it now moving right along going by what i think
3:35
is some of the highest priority items on our list there’s no doubt that when you’re talking about
3:40
survival water is going to be one of your biggest priorities so we have the sawyer mini water
3:45
filtration system this is one of the best water filter systems you can get on the market right now
3:50
it’s going to filter out a hundred thousand gallons so no matter what type of water source
3:54
you come across this thing is going to filter it for you now this is going to be the most expensive
3:59
thing on our list at 19.97 but it’s also going to be one of the most important items on the list
4:06
now if you wanted to go with something cheaper you could go with something like these potable aqua
4:10
tablets but it’s going to take longer to treat the water with this and it’s only going to treat
4:15
up to 25 quarts so it’s not going to treat as much water but this is one place where you could save
4:20
a little money if you wanted to add more items or upgrade something else in the kit next thing
4:25
we’re going to talk about is food what we went with is these mountain house adventure meals
4:30
these are freeze-dried meals they’re going to be good up to 30 years i really like going with this
4:35
type of food item for a survival bag or a bug out bag because you don’t really have to worry
4:41
about this going bad so these mountain house meals are perfect for a kit like this they are a little
4:45
expensive at 8.95 per pack but there are two servings in each pack and if you’re rationing in
4:52
an emergency situation this could easily last you a few days along those same lines you’re going to
4:58
need something to boil water and cook food in and this mess kit from ozark trail was too cheap to
5:03
pass up i have used this kit in the past it comes with a hanging pot and lid a frying pan a metal
5:10
plate and a plastic cup and at just over five dollars you cannot beat this kit right here to go
5:16
along with our food and cooking kit we have just this flatware set it comes with a plastic spoon
5:20
fork and knife and that’s going to run you just 88 so you definitely should throw that in your kit
5:26
one of our next biggest priorities is fire and these items are usually pretty affordable
5:31
so we have a few different options here we have some waterproof and storm proof matches those
5:36
are going to run you about 2.97 and then just a regular old bic lighter there’s no easier way
5:42
to start a fire than just with a big lighter now you also need some way to process wood
5:47
so we decided to go with this sawtooth machete from ozark trail i like this because it has a
5:51
nice big blade for chopping down limbs and things like that it also has a sawtooth edge for sawing
5:56
down a larger wood material and it’s got a pretty decent weight to it and a nice handle
6:02
so it should work out just fine but for 12.95 you really can’t beat this especially since it also
6:08
comes with a phariseem rod for starting fires and a nylon sheath to put it in it’s hard to go wrong
6:14
with that next things we want to think about is cordage and shelter so we went with a 50-foot hank
6:20
of 550 paracord no survival kit would be complete without some paracord the next shelter item we
6:26
put in our kit is this camping tarp from outdoor products it’s going to run just over nine dollars
6:32
but it’s going to give us an easy way to make a shelter and stay out of the elements you could of
6:36
course make your own shelter from limbs and things like that but this fit in our budget so why not go
6:42
ahead and put it in the kit along those same lines we added an emergency poncho from ust an emergency
6:48
space blanket from ozark trail the pancho is going to run you just a dollar and the space
6:53
blanket just over two dollars so it’s really a no-brainer to add something like this into the kit
6:58
again just to protect you from the elements keep you warm and dry that space blanket could also be
7:03
used along with your shelter so those two items are nice to have next thing that’s going to be
7:08
very important is some type of first aid kit now with a 100 budget we couldn’t go too crazy with
7:13
a very extensive first aid kit but at just under five dollars this kit right here is nice it has
7:18
85 items in it it’s gonna come with your bandages band-aids antiseptic a few different medicines and
7:24
things like that you never know when you could injure yourself so having a good first aid kit
7:29
is a must in a survival kit now depending on your location this may or may not be important to you
7:34
but i decided to put in the small bug repellent i am in the southern part of united states so in
7:39
the summer the bugs can get really bad out there having something like that is going to be really
7:43
important to keep those bugs off of you keep you healthy and as comfortable as possible now
7:48
of course in a survival kit you’re going to need some kind of light with a 100 budget you’re kind
7:52
of limited on the quality of gear you can get and since light is a little bit lower on the priority
7:57
list i decided to go with these budget options this is the one dollar ozark trail flashlight
8:03
it is 50 lumens so it’s not too bad as well as the one dollar headlamp so you can have a hands-free
8:09
light if you need that something else you might consider that is really cheap is just a pack of
8:14
glow sticks you can get these for under a dollar and this will provide you with eight hours of
8:18
ambient light in a survival situation the next few items we have here are not essential but they are
8:24
nice to have and they’re low cost enough that they did fit into our budget nicely so i decided to put
8:30
in a pack of all-purpose fishing hooks you could use this in conjunction with some of the inner
8:34
strands on your paracord to fish and get yourself some extra food so that’s nice to have especially
8:40
if it turns into a long-term situation next is a bandana that’s also going to run you under a
8:46
dollar so why not throw it in there there are so many uses for a bandana everything from protecting
8:51
you from the sun or filtering water or making a tourniquet and at under a dollar it’s a no-brainer
8:57
to throw a bandana in your kit next is duct tape there are a million different uses for duct tape
9:04
it’s actually a pretty decent fire starter you can also repair things with it you can make cordage
9:09
out of it and at just two dollars this gorilla brand tape is really high quality and it fit into
9:14
our budget nicely and last but not least we put in some antibacterial wipes to help keep you clean
9:20
and no matter what the situation you are still gonna have to take care of number two so having
9:24
something like this is gonna be really nice to have so you don’t end up wiping with leaves
9:29
all right guys now that’s everything we got at walmart for our 100 survival kit but we’re
9:33
still not quite done yet because there are some bonus items that you can add into a kit like this
9:38
that will probably cost you nothing because you already have them around your house first thing
9:42
on that list is a couple extra pairs of socks in a survival situation your feet get wet it can be
9:48
very important to be able to change out your socks keep your feet healthy especially if you’re on the
9:54
move next thing that’s going to go along with your fire kit is just some vaseline soaked cotton balls
9:59
these things are amazing fire starters so if you find yourself in wet conditions you’re having a
10:04
hard time starting a fire having something like these vaseline soap cotton balls is going to be
10:08
really nice to have the next bonus item you can add to your kit for almost no money is some trash
10:14
bag these are 42 gallon contractor trash bags i’ve got three of them in here these can be used for
10:20
shelter or ground cover or water catchment system and you probably already have them laying around
10:25
your house so why not throw a few in your kit and last but not least a couple bottles of water you
10:30
probably already have a case of water sitting around in your house or in your refrigerator
10:34
grab a couple bottles to throw in your kit that’ll give you a good amount of initial clean drinking
10:39
water and then when you’re done you can use these bottles along with your water filter
10:44
to collect more water all right guys now that’s it for our 100 walmart survival kit are these the
10:49
best survival items out there no is this going to sustain you for a very long period of time
10:56
maybe not but this is a great starting point this is a great way to get into your first survival kit
11:01
or bug out bag at an affordable price and then you can always go back and upgrade later so i
