"Now, we've basically put together your entire survival kit. Right? I forgot to mention one thing, duct tape. Duct tape's always a good thing to have on hand. You'll never know when you're going to need it. So, I'm going to keep that in my survival kit. Now we're going to move on to other comfort needs. What I have here is I have a camping tent. Now this is a very, very comfortable thing to have with you because it's an easy up shelter. You're not going to have to worry about putting together a bunch of branches and stuff up against a wall or a tree to make shelter. So, camping tent, very, very good for comfort. Again, you don't need it for survival though. Yup, sometimes you may. Then we have camping stakes right there. Now these stakes can be used in a ton of different ways. You can use these for hanging pots from, for a fire situation. You can use them for your tent. You can use them in many different ways, camping stakes. The next thing is a can opener. A can opener goes along, obviously, with cans of food that you might have. That's a very comfortable need because you have food. If you have need for this, you're hungry and you're okay. All right. Next, we have the knife. This knife you always need. Okay? Bring the knife with you. This is going to make your life so much more comfortable. Even though you need this to survive, it makes everything just so much more comfortable. You're going to realize that. Okay? Next thing is multi tool. Now, multi tool can be fun for many reasons. This one's got a little saw on it so it makes it easier to saw off branches and stuff like that. However, if you have a little serrated knife, right here, you won't necessarily need this. But, it's always fun to have, keep it in your tool kit if you feel that you may need it. Okay? Next thing is a hanging pot. Now, any camp pot is always going to be good. The only problem is it's a lot to carry just like the tent, it's going to be a lot of stuff to carry. But, for comfort reasons, it's always easier to make meals in bigger pots like this instead of keeping your little tin camping one. Right? Okay. So, next, I have a shovel. Now I like this shovel because it comes in a little case right here and it assembles very easily. It's all screw together and then you can unscrew it and you can use it in many different ways. You can use it as a shovel; you can use it as a spike. Okay? You can use it as like a trowel, just like that. I love the way these things are assembled. So, you can use these in many different ways. It's a little bit heavy to carry, but if you don't mind it, I actually keep this in my survival kit all the time. That's my one comfort item that I'll bring around. Okay? And last, but not least, what I have on the list here is a floating lantern. This just a fluorescent lantern that I keep with me for light, just if I am away from the fire, I can keep this up on a tree or in my tent or something like that when I'm camping. So, that's always a fun one to have. Also, got flashlight that I always carry around. It's just a bigger doubled one for that. So, those are the things that you may need for comfort in camping and maybe not necessarily a survival situation, but since we have our survival pack, we're ready to go."
