Video Transcription

there we go guys some really really cool survival paracord stuff awesome at first we have here three magnesium bars with the fire steel integrated and three scrapers really really nice pack look at this the friendly sweet three pack lifetime warranty and so on and so on but I tell you more about the warranty a little later next thing is this paracord bracelet at first weaving of the paracord is done per hand from the guys from the furnace loot the friendless weed awesome chop nice pattern nice and smooth tight really really good work what we have here this little guy which is for securing the bracelet on your arm is a small little fire steel this is awesome small little fire steel right there but how to strike the fire steel well over here can use this as a scraper the inside it also 90 degree angled every item has this the friendly sweet etching on it can see and this is not just this islet here right down there it's a small little knife i would say emergency blade ii idea behind this is that you bring this loop over to the top get through the fire steel and your bracelet is now closed and you can tighten it down cinch it down or loosen it up if you have a bigger wrist awesome they call them the friendless we'd caribbean digital with orange blah blah blah depends on which pattern you would like to have and this is it they call it grenade because of the look of it and let's unpack here one guy right there it looks like a grenade you can imagine this again tons of paracord can hook this guy with a carabiner which is are also included and has the edging the friendly sweet on it can hook it to a backpack wherever again there is this bag up blade knife included as before on the bracelet and inside there you can see it if you look into small little holes there is some really cool stuff right in there well there you have it all these things are inside this grenade so you have tinder you have aluminum foil you have this emergency played a firesteel a pin an alcohol pad some wire for snaring trapping animals swivels weights and hooks with lines as a fishing kit some floats for a fishing kit and along a fishing line so you have the ability to make fire with this and this and of course this is a scraper you can cook or boil at least anything in this foil if it will hold up we will see the pin would be great for improvising a weapon for let's say field surgery for ya you get a thorn inside your finger and you have to get him out Neal is awesome so pin needle right to have even to sell your gear up if it's broken you can use the pin together with the line the fishing line the alcohol pad well if you have a wound you can disinfect it with the alcohol bed or use it as a tinder source it's also possible well I don't have to explain a fishing kit fishing kit is great for fishing snaring trapping animals so much uses also the wire you can use you can use it for booby traps you can use it for tripwire systems you can use it for snaring trapping animals and so on and so on but all in all in this small little grenade awesome I really like it really like it I think we now take them out in the field and test them out life in action so well guys we are here in the forest new to my home and I brought today with me is the friendly sweet survival grenade that I showed you earlier in the tabletop review and as well the friendly sweet magnesium fire block but one thing I want to show you a set before this is the contents of the survival grenade with the fishing kit and they have two different models this is the normal one which is without this sharpened i hooked blade but instead this has aluminum foil tinder fire steel and a small little razor blade or scalp l knife then you have fishing line swivels whites or sinkers floats and hooks as fishing device so a smaller compact version of the big full grenade with the sharpened I blade whatever there's the logo they're friendly Swede and every single item of the friendly Swede is coming with this tags and this shoot Quaritch and today i will use this college as well as the tinder which is inside the grenade for making a fire so stadium well because i'm here in the middle of the forest and they don't want to burn everything up i can use those two cards to make a small little ground sheet for the fire and by simply unravel this cottage and fluff it up you can create very very fine fibrous stuff if you normally can easily lit on fire there you have it I think the first thing we're gonna try out is the magnesium block which comes with these scrapers to just a small little metal saw piece of a metal song you can either use the teeth of the metal shop or you can use the spine of this metal song so both is possible if there is a good 90-degree edge on it tell you what the first thing that I want to try out it's the fire steel oh baby this little sucker works like hell haha beautiful not every fire steel is working great some of them are too soft some of them are too hard but this looks like a really good fire steel right there let's see if I can get this left of coolidge on flame one strike awesome nice nice job friendly sweet nice job when it comes to this magnesium blocks most of them are too hard to scrape off a big pile and get it lit on fire so let's see how this particular model from the friendly sweet turns out okay this is not what I was expecting I really was expecting a hard block because it feels hard maybe of the coating the whole magnesium bar is coated with this rough powder coating but I get with just a few strokes a really nice amount of shavings off and right now I'm using the back spine of this small little metal saw she has a really nice angle on it wow this beautiful look at this right there instant flame really really hot flames oh my god this guy burned through my cardboard right there awesome look at this

as big as my thumb oh boy haha beautiful this magnesium blocks normally don't work that great well in an emergency situation I think everything is working but for a day to day bushcraft basis I don't think so but this guy here oh man I really love it where can buy and get all this paracord survival stuff i will put a link or some links down there in the description because the friendly sweet has an amazon account and amazon shop and they sell most of their items over amazon the shipping was very very fast i mean i got it in two days which is really good and every single item is around 10 to 12 euros so you get a pack of 3 3 4 12 heroes so this would be four euros each also this awesome bracelet including the fire steel and is sharp I who played blah blah blah is for 12 yrs around as well as the Civil correct did you take a look right now so guys after the perfect test of the magnesium bar it's time to unravel this survival grenade here let's see what this can do in a survival situation good bunch of paracord which is around 3 meters this red little piece of paracord just the tubing of the paracord and you can use this as well for for example as a fishing lure that I showed you in an earlier video so please take a look and you can use just a small piece here as a rule for fishing which is good because there is a fishing kit inside as thought before this aluminium foil is crap no good no good foil I mean you can see nothing to do with this there really should i use a heavier foil there are some heavier falls out there but you can't even unravel this thing without getting it destroyed so no this won't work for anything this is just crap honestly this is crap forget it maybe as a fishing lure as well s because it's shiny and reflecting in the water but for anything else get rid of it at the inside this who looks great to me small little sib lock bag let's get the contacts out yeah okay in there repped on its own is a pharisee imrat tiny one little one well which is around mm I would say two inches length and around 344 mills in thickness hmm okay let's see if it works get my scraper there oh yeah this sucker is great for survival situation this is the good thing so useful get it over there there is the alcohol pet seventy percent isopropyl alcohol I don't think we need to undo this there's another foil this is the foiled le meaningful this is the heavy-duty stuff that i was speaking before that's great so the other one is just packaging this is the foil they are mentioned what a piece oh my gosh look at this is huge can use it for reflection for signaling somebody if you have a divot in the ground or scoop a scoop the ground a bit out you can lay it on top or some water in there fist deep now you can push the foil in there you can see the size is awesome great heavy-duty aluminum foil big size too if you are careful you can reuse it as well small compact light right wait good good staff great foil good stuff the thick one next we have is the scalpel blade well I don't undo this because it's inside there it's protected and I don't need to use it right now but a really sharp blade for skinning deer cutting small creepy crebbil whatever swivel for fishing not a swivel for fishing

fishing hook with some line and fishing hook bigger one with some line some sinkers or some whites for fishing two floats for fishing just a small ones but they working great I've used them before when I was extensively fishing and those small little guys are working awesome they're really good and wow look at this could just be able to 5 10 maybe yeah 10 maybe 15 meters of fishing line think it's around 10 meters but it's enough can only do hand fishing with this but that's okay and then there some tinder ha that's funny it's the same stuff like the like I did before the the jute twine unravel jute twine but let's test the combination of this jute twine together with the small little tiny ferrocene rod and for scraping device I use this guy on the magnesium bar there we go one strike right there ooh normal fire like it now it's good it's working so what's my conclusion on the friendly Swedes survival stuff items well most of the parts are working I only found that the aluminium foil is not useful but it wasn't the aluminum foil it was just packaging the real deal is inside so I can say yeah every single item of the friendly sweet survival stuff that I have tried is working great if not awesome in my opinion they did a really good job the wrapping is beautifully done the idea is outstanding having a ferrocerium rod as a locking device man's of paracord even in the grenade get a carabiner as well so you can clip it onto your backpack if a fishing kit alcohol pad my resume rats all over the place together with paracord and even this magnesium bar has really surprised me really really surprised me great great thing to have thank you different this week for sending me such great items to show and presented to the world especially to you guys on YouTube really appreciate all your views comments and support thank you very much for watching I hope you liked this video of some really cool survival items i said before all the links are in the description where you can get it where you can buy it the homepage is in berk from the friendly sweet so will come soon stay tuned for this hope you liked the video see you in the next one have a great day bye
