Sven Yrvind prepares his tool kit for a 6,000-mile, 100-day voyage from Vigo to Uruguay.▶ 7:27 To save weight and space, he modifies standard tools by cutting off unnecessary components, such as the claw from a hammer and excess plastic from toothbrush handles.▶ 2:20 His kit includes sewing supplies, a diamond-coated file for sharpening, hemostats, tweezers, and various drill bits.▶ 9:06 He secures items using rubber bands cut from bicycle inner tubes, which he notes resist weather-related brittleness better than standard rubber.▶ 7:04 Yrvind emphasizes the necessity of carrying backups for critical gear, noting that some store-bought tools, such as an 8mm drill bit from Biltema, failed to fit properly during testing.▶ 10:00 He also carries stainless steel knives and hammers, humorously noting their potential use for defense against sharks or octopuses.▶ 3:01 The preparation focuses on functional adaptation and redundancy for long-term self-sufficiency at sea.
