Neck Knife Survival Kit
There have been a lot of survival kit discussions recently so I wanted to dredge up an oldie for the new folks. Mac hasn't been around in a long time but while he was here he posted some great stuff. One of them was a Survival Neck Knife. You can find him on YouTube on the Colhane channel. He has some top notch stuff. Several of us followed his lead and built them.
Shortly after viewing that vid several years ago I too made one. He really did have some great ideas.
well now...
I miss Mac...I do hope he's okay!....

I built one as well, based on a Becker Necker....found it got in my way so ended up in my "Flea Market Bag"....as it already has most of the needful things on it.
Still a great idea........

As was mine. I made one for me and one for my wife. Still have them.

I used his milk bag idea for a couple of my kits. Works well in the kit in my NEF survivor 12ga stock.
Have Lights? Thank a Lineman!

I missed that part on the milk bag, mine was more fire, compass flashlight, fishing and cordage.

I made one around a Newt Livesay and one around a Esee Izula. I keep the Newt Livesay in my pack and I gave the Izula to my brother. He wears it. I just can't get used to having anything hanging around my neck. Knives on the belt and in the pockets and packs for me.
This for me as well. I can't even stand a tshirt that's tight around my neck...Originally Posted by Batch
I like the idea, but I'm afraid after a few minutes, it would be torn off and thrown in the pack.
When all else fails, read the directions, and beware the Chihuahuacabra!
I for one don't have one. May have to build one and see for myself. I do like the idea of what he did. As an after thought has anybody done something like this to a belt knife?
I used a break away clasp for my knife. I have a phobia about getting the cord caught on something sliding down a bank or tripping. This way the knife will come off rather than strangle me. As for the belt knife, I have not but I don't see any reason it couldn't be done.

great idea that is.
I'm a Gramp who is not computer savvy, give me a slab and the rock ages tablet..I will do fine!
I am also of the "not around my neck" school of thought.
I have most of that kit hanging on my keychain, which is clipped to a belt loop, and does not choke me.
Too each his own.
If you didn't bring jerky what did I just eat?
Sadly not legal to do that (wear around the neck in the shirt)everywhere. Cool video.
