Uncharted Supply Company Pro Series Possibles Pouch Review

[Justin Crossley]

I'm going to start by stating that I'm far from an expert in backcountry survival or medical emergencies. I'm simply going to openly discuss and give my opinions on the Pro Series Possibles Pouch from Uncharted Supply Company. This kit was designed by John Barklow, which is why I was interested in trying it out. John has decades of experience and training in this field.

Here is John explaining his thought process behind this kit.

This kit retails for $89.00 on the Uncharted Supply Company Website, but it was sent to me for free for this review. I still have full autonomy to say what I want about it and am not obligated to say nice things.

Here is a list of everything included in the kit in addition to the pouch itself.

Ibuprofen (x2)
Benadryl (x2)
1x3 inch Bandages (x6)
2x4 inch Bandages (x2)
Mylar Blanket
Blister Gels (x4)
Triple Antibiotic (x4)
Safety Pins (x2)
Wound Closure Strips (x2)
Hemostatic gauze (x4)
Gauze Pads 3x3 (x2)
Slishman Pressure Bandage
Bailing Wire
Flat Pack Duct Tape
Flat Pack stormproof Matches
Reusable Zip Ties (x4)
Signaling Mirror
Fishing Kit
Ferro Rod
Tinder
Water Purification Tablets (x5)

There are a few things I sometimes carry in my current possibles kit that are not included in this one.

Small, backup headlamp
Battery pack for charging phone or Inreach
Chapstick
Air pad patch kit
Tenacious Tape
More potent painkillers (think walking out on a sprained or broken lower limb)
550 cord (in kill kit)

I haven't tested any of the items in the kit yet, but I thought I would start this thread so we could get a good discussion going. So post your questions, tips, or thoughts on this kit or possibles kits in general, and we'll learn together.

I carry almost everything on that list when hunting. I also carry some heavy duty sewing supplies in a snuff can that gets used all the time. The battery pack is a good idea. I do carry extra batteries. looks like a good kit, especially for people with less experience. I have learned the hard way, haha.

Editing to add that the Atwood Rope Manufacturing has great stuff. I usually have a few different diameters with me. The 1/16" comes on a 100ft spool for about 6-7 dollars. I have used it for all kinds of things. Even to repair a boot.
