Here's an interesting way to build a survival kit. EverydayTacticalVids challenged himself to build an urban survival kit using only items he found at Home Depot. The total cost for this kit was $235. By restricting himself to items at Home Depot, he had to be creative.
Keep in mind that this is not a bug out bag or an EDC bag. This is a kit that will help you stay alive during an urban disaster where you are unable to get home.
This bag includes things like: twisted mason line, knife, water, firestarter, N95 masks, beef jerky, lighters, headlamp, screwdriver, thermos, folding saw, sharpening stone, multitool, tarp, latex gloves, trash bags, and much, much more.
I gotta say I was really impressed by how many useful items he was able to find in just one store. You can watch the video below.
