Survival Bros Product Testing The Gerber Prodigy Blade By Breaking a Glass Car Window
Using a “survival” knife to break glass for people locked out of their vehicle, Survival Bros helps by smashing a small car window, so the owner can get his keys and go home. The gentleman’s girlfriend locked the keychain in the car by accident before setting off on a day hike. At first, their solution was to simply throw a rock at the shiny, new BMW Sedan! They decided against that method of breaking in. He didn’t care about money it would cost to repair his ride, because he has auto insurance. I guess insurance covers women. The couple would have been stranded on the mountain at night, if they couldn’t get in. There’s NO cellphone service in The Forest. Fortunately, she was able to reach her arm in without getting hurt to pull the door handle open from the inside.
Would you call the Gerber Prodigy a true survival knife? Comment. It’s smaller, and only has versions featuring irritating serrations. Most friends I’ve encountered aren’t fond of this blade profile, because it takes away from the cutting surface area. Total length of 9.75 inches and blade length of 4.75 inches.
On the plus side, the sheath is quality, making it easy to lash, or attach to your backpack. MOLLE compatible, with a leg strap to try as a carrying position. The rubberized grip works well, and fits in hand ergonomically. It’s a bargain entry level survival or combat knife. Whatever you want to call it, or use it for, the price is right on Amazon for under $40 with free shipping. I’m going to beat mine to Hell this summer in the woods, then consider packing the LMF II, or something new. Have any knife recommendations for Survival Bros?

Watch Survival Bros breaking car windows with that blade too! It’s considerably bigger, and better.
Don’t try this! But if you do, wear proper eye and hand protection.

I’ve been on the hunt at local thrift shops for a bargain. After scouring the Eugene/Springfield, Oregon area I hauled in fresh gear, and saved a wad of money buying items second hand. However, most of the swag mentioned in this HD video production is new. I’ve been popping tags. I hope to use these pieces backpacking, vandwelling, and as essential Every Day Carry items.
I found a new pair of Nike Special Field Boots or SFB at St. Vinnie’s. They retail online for $140 or more, if you can locate your size. I had hoped they were size 12’s when I spotted them on display. It was my lucky day, because they were a match for me. The desert tan kicks had been marked $29.99, but were half off that day. I got the shoes for $14.99! I’ve been wanting this exact pair of 8 inch high military style boots. Here’s the male equivalent of girls wearing Uggs in public. I get lots of compliments on them. No I haven’t served, but I train with soldiers.
I lost one of my all black Mechanix M-PACT Covert gloves bouncing around town celebrating New Years. So, now I’m breaking in another pair of work gloves that I had for backup. I like wearing them while biking, or even driving my Volkswagen Vanagon. This brightly colored safety wear is men’s size Large. Newer versions fit even better. I also like that they dry out quickly in the sun.
Here’s my other videos on thrift store shopping. I’ve found some treasures, and I look forward to going back into the city to discover what else I can’t live without. Thanks for supporting the blog. Visit again shortly. I have lots of wacky videos in the works. Have a great Spring Break, and Summer!

Survival Bros smashes the screen of a cellphone with a new COAST Products F611 Tactical Field blade. It was total destruction! The carbide tip can also muscle through regular glass, Plexiglas, and plastic. It’s a sturdy knife, and I usually have it handy at the bottom of my backpack, just in case. The F611 is a solid tool for camping, because it can help you process wood for a fire, or even when creating an emergency shelter. You’ll like working with it, and it’s guaranteed by COAST.

Survival Bros is at the beach in Seaside, Oregon testing two Naimakka paracord bands made in Sweden. Each luxurious design features ultra-high grade military standardType III paracord. The special edition Skydivers bracelet in camo green 483 includes an all brass clasp. I can’t wait to rough it up more, and see how the patina develops on the surface. The other bracelet is charcoal, or stealth grey and has a secure screw closure. Both Naimakka products unravel to about 8 feet of cordage, so you’ll have plenty of material to work with during an emergency situation. It feels good to have extra cord on hand. You can use it to build shelter, make knots, or even floss your teeth with the inner strands. And we know you don’t floss everyday! If you’re looking for the a dependable, and gorgeous paracord bracelet then visit http://www.naimakka.com to get your own gear. They ship worldwide for $5. Plus, it will attract attention, and you can strike up a conversation with other preppers. Your satisfaction is guaranteed.

Watch Survival Bros repair Oregon Ducks Nike shoes with an officially licensed Survival Straps bracelet. My shoelace broke, and I needed a solution ASAP so I could get back on the road. It worked out great, because the green color matched my player edition, team issued kicks.
It was easy to unravel the tightly bound milspec 550 paracord strap, taking only a few minutes to get the cordage I needed. As I mention in the HD video, I did have to cut off the ends so they could pass through the adjustable plastic clasp. However, it was no problem reheating the tips so they wouldn’t come undone later. I had plenty of cord to work with, and I cut it to length. Luckily my new laces were able to pass through the holes as I relaced my Nikes. Now my shoelaces are stronger than ever, and handy if I need them for another purpose. Plus, because this was an emergency I will get a new band when I share my story with Survival Straps. I was worried I was going to be barefoot this afternoon, but I was prepared with my paracord bracelet nearby. The last thing I want is my shoe to come off when I bike through a busy intersection. I’m good to go.
They have so many cool designs, you really have to look at them for yourself. I also like the wide double fish tail designs. At $29.99 the Oregon Ducks Survival Straps is a deal. You’ll get up to 15 feet of military spec super strong paracord from one bracelet. Having a little extra cordage in an emergency situation could be the difference between life in death. Thankfully, I wasn’t in true danger this time.
Thanks for watching! In addition, the blade steel is 154CM with a titanium nitride coating. Super durable. Don’t get the F.A.S.T. version of this knife. It felt slow to deploy, and cheap. Boker makes fixed blade Applegate designed knives too. Subscribe to Survival Bros on Youtube for more. We’ll have other knife reviews soon. Here’s the Gerber LMF 2 stress test I did breaking car windows. Enjoy.
