As usual, another great video. I really enjoy your videos and I've learned something from each one of them.
I have a question, what kind of twine are you using that is 100 pound test and has inner cords like 550?
Also, if you can fine the room, pack a small vial of bug juice if going out over night. I tried to use mine on an over nighter and was eaten alive. I came back in around 2am. I have one of those bigger perfume sample vials filled with deet. It's enough to cover my hands, arms, face and neck so I can make it through a night anyway. I have also used MRE Tabasco bottles for this and they work well to.
You can buy unused sample vials on ebay very very cheap and in many different sizes. I have bought some from a seller and she gave me a bunch of extras to. I also bought a dozen small brown glass screw cap bottles from her. They are VERY small and will stand up and fit in an Altoids kit, they are that small. They are MUCH better for holding iodine tablets for longer term.
Iodine tablets left out of a sealed bottle will break down line, turn things yellow, and rust your tin. Ask me how I know. Even my aspirins turned yellow. Iodine is very corrosive. Just a thought as it looks like yours are wrapped in foil or something.
Anyway, here is where I get my vials and bottles from, and the bottles has the white teflon seal in the cap that iodine needs.

I have seen a few threads on PSK lately. I really like survival kits. I don't know why I do. I enjoy putting then together. I like trying to think of items that have multiple uses. Once that process is complete, I attempt to shove it all in to a very small package. I always carry a small kit in my pack while in the woods. If I have a base camp I put the kit on my belt or in a cargo pocket. I was asked to do a vid on my kit so here it is.
Here are a couple of pics.
For those of you who can't or don't watch vids here is a breakdown.
The pouch is a US GI compass case
Mylar survival blanket
1 gallon ziplock bag
Turley PSK knife
2 band-aids

Snare wire
Fishing line
3 hooks
5 sinkers
100 lb test cord
Tin foil
Iodine tabs
Wire saw
Fire steel

This kit takes care of; shelter,water,knife,sustenance,signaling,first aid, and fire.

well really cool vials but 144 is a little much for me. do you think if i went to the mall, dressed in a way that makes me look a lot more polite and young they would give me like 3 or 4 vials?
. . .Also, you might want to add in Pepcid in your little bag of pills. A few weeks ago I had serious allergic reaction to some mold and ended up in the ER for the first time in my life. Long story short, the ER doc said, this may sound funny, but take Pepcid with Benadryl and it will REALLY stop any reaction you are having.
She said that the Pepcid not only blocks the acid your body makes but also something your body is producing that's causing you to react and break out. To be honest, I forgot what she called it exactly, I just remember what she said to use and why. Now, when I have a reaction, and I have a few times, I take two Benadryl and two Pepcid and it knocks it out in a few minutes.
Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) is an antihistamine and can be used to treat allergic reaction.
What should be in a GHB? BTW - nice video!
