ESEE Knives and kits build around them....

[texastonydobbs]

Great kits man. How did you make that fire steel with the junglas so long?

older models had removable rods,I just remove old rod and added my own

bump since peeps need to post up their PSK's

 

[ESEERATFAN]

I put this kit together using the Max notebook cover.

Contents:
Maxpedition 3x5 notebook cover
Rucksack model SAK
Exotac Nanostriker
Plastic tube with (4) SA Matches and one heavy duty needle

PSK in small ziplock:
Whistle
Duct tape
(4)Tinder tabs
(10)wind/h20 proof matches
Fishing kit
Safety pins
Button compass
Signal mirror

FAK in small ziplock:
(6) 3x1 band-aids
(4) Ibuprofen tabs
Triple AB ointment
(2) Butterfly bandages
(1) After bite wipe
(4) antihistamine tabs
Roll of dental floss


I'll be doing some tweaking to this. Need to add some h20 purification tabs. In this state, it would fit easily in a cargo pocket.

ESEERATFAN, nice looking kit small and well thought out.

 

[MrCoffee]

Nice small kit. Well done I think I would throw a fishing hook in with the safety pin.

But putting it all in the Notebook cover is a really great idea... now I have to dig out mine and give it a try

 

[ESEERATFAN]

Nice small kit. Well done I think I would throw a fishing hook in with the safety pin.

There is a complete fishing kit (line, sinkers, swivels, and hooks) in the tube with the safety pins

I've got a Streamlight Microstream on the way that I'll be adding to the kit.

cool kit bro,
I have a nano striker as well , not a fan of it,something to trade off ....

 

[lilknifekid]

Why dont you like the nano striker? I have been looking to pick one up but not really a fan of the price tag.

 

[texastonydobbs]

email me ?
to me the nano striker is not worth the cost ,small ferro rod ,smaller striker,only plus is the housing and keeping all pieces toether . to me deal or dud ... I'd go dud just b/c of cash ratio for what you get is not as good as the esee firekit or a standard LMF rod IMO

 

[ESEERATFAN]

The only advantage of the nano is it's compact size. Price sucks. The ESEE firekit is MUCH easier to use. I'm going to eventually attach a firekit to one of the zipper pulls.

 

[Don Rearic]

My go-to fire gear are LMF Ferro Rods, Doan's, BSA Hot Spark (smallest), ESEE Mischmetal, and K & M (Overlength) Matchcases with REI Matches in them. That's not counting tinder.

Nano stuff, the matchsafe/matchcase, too, too expensive for what they are. They're neat, but too much for what you get. The K & M's lid has the compass Suunto uses for their Clipper Model as well, so you are really getting a great deal for the cost of the Nano Matchsafe +/- $1.50.

The more I see the 5 SERE, the more I love it.

 

[Butch Fish]

You guys have some cool kits.

Heres my take on the ESEE 5 kit.

I took this one backpacking over thanksgiving. At one point I left all my gear at my campsite besides this and my Glock and went looking for a suitable branch for a walking stick. I was definitely glad to have the little saw because I was able to quietly acquire said stick from a pile of deadfall. There were some other campers nearby and I didn't want to disturb them at night by hacking away with my 5.

 

[texastonydobbs]

Great kit build around the 5

 

[Don Rearic]

Yeah, I think that is going to be the next one and maybe the last one for a while. It's not so large that people will go bananners around it when they see it on a belt.

 

[Bushman5]

5.11 chest rig, with twin 5.11 medic pouches. FAK cross logo is removed on one of the pouches, designating it for utility gear. The entire kit is designed for woods wandering, to have all the essentials ON ME at all times, easy to access and use. I can ditch my pack (say falling into a river) but still have shelter, FAK, food, firekit, knifes, light, navigation, signalling etc with me. Each pouch has TWO internal zippered poclets, so even if i need to move quickly while the pouch is open, nothing gets lost.

contents photos coming soon.


I call it "M.O.O.B.S." (Modular Organized Operations Bearing System)

 

[Don Rearic]

You're just as sexy as ever. I was playing with your fatwood in October you know.

I'm glad to see you are back around and on the sane side of the universe.

[Paul RevEar]

I just started building mine around the 5 like the pic shown above. I have the lil Izula kit in there (minus izula), water proof matches and Esee card. Not near complete, getting great ideas from this thread. Thanks.
