Encrypted payments processed through trusted providers. We never store your card details.
The Minimalist Knife D.I.Y. Kit covers most of the major must-haves that any outdoors person needs to check off of his or her list - water purification, fire starter, food procurement, and more. You will not find a more comprehensive outdoor knife kit in such a small package anywhere else on the market. For those interested in having the versatility of carrying vital survival items that easily attach to virtually any knife sheath on the market, we have developed kit components just for you.

- Diamond Sharpening Plate w/ Glow-in-the-Dark Bead

- 18" Reflective 550-lb. Paracord
- 4" x 5/16" Ferro Rod Fire Starter
- 2 - 4" pieces of Fatwood Tinder
- 2 Mini Glow Sticks
- Wazoo Survival Gear Essentials Water Kit (comes with 2 Small Ranger Bands)
- Wazoo Survival Gear's Ranger Bands - 2 Medium
- Emergency Fishing Kit
- Photon Micro-Light
DETAILS:
Two Ranger Bands (medium size) fix all components of this kit right to the knife sheath itself. Of course, we gear your kit up with a diamond sharpening plate so that there's no worry about your knife blade ever going dull on you.
Each Minimalist Knife D.I.Y. Kit comes with a 3" x 5/16" ferro rod - small and light enough to fit snug on the outside of your knife sheath just under the Ranger Bands, but large enough to get a good fire strike from. We also outfit each kit with two small pieces of fatwood for dire situations when fire becomes an absolute necessity and there are no dry tinder sources to be found. As an added bonus we slip two Mini Glow Sticks under the Ranger Bands.
Water purification is always a concern for any survival kit. With the Wazoo Essentials Water Kit secured under the [2 medium] Ranger Bands you don't have to worry about lacking the ability to clean your water sources. This is the most compact and capable emergency survival hydration kits ever created. These ultra-slim water kits give you the ability to carry and purify water anytime, anywhere.
Each kit includes two Katadyn Micropur purification tablets capable of purifying one liter of water each and Wazoo Survival Gear's custom-designed Emergency Reservoir™, a one-liter water container. Should you find yourself in a situation that requires more than two liters of water, the Emergency Reservoir™ is made of food-grade plastic, rated up to 400 degrees F, allowing you to boil water over a bed of coals for additional safe drinking water. The [2 small] Ranger Bands that come with the Essentials Water Kit can be used as flame extenders while starting a fire for boiling, a hang loop for suspending the bag over coals, or as a bag tie to seal the water bag for transport.
You can fit the lanyard hole of your favorite knife with 18" of reflective 550 paracord, complete with two glow-in-the-dark beads for easy finding during nighttime use, and the Photon "brightest for its size" Micro-Light. The Micro-Light is a powerful little flashlight. Truly micro in size, it's looped to the paracord for use anytime you need it. In the event that you need to patch any piece of your survival equipment while out in Mother Nature we've even added 18" of Gorilla Tape (1" width). Gorilla Tape can fix patch the nastiest of things.
Last, but not least, there's a Mini Fishing Kit also adorned to the knife sheath with one of the medium Ranger Bands. Complete with 2 bobbers, 2 sinkers, 3 hooks, and more than 25' of fishing line, you've got a means to secure quality protein sources when the environment demands the most from your gear and your skill sets.
