This honestly might be the best overall survival kit you've ever covered, usually it's always "oh it's missing this and that" but this time I was impressed by the quality and quantity of what it has, and the special surprises of things I would've only thought of out in the field and not while planning a bag. I literally said, out loud, "IT EVEN HAS A BIOHAZARD BAG!" Every expectation was surpassed with this one, and hearing it can be got for as low as 90 dollars? Nothing better for the price I'm aware of, and the sort of thing that at THAT low a price, it would be a challenge to match what they give you in this pack scrounging on your own. Massively impressed by this one.

The back pack alone usually costs that much! Having everything for 2 people in one bag is great, especially if the second person is a child that can't carry all their own supplies. Can easily divide into a second pack to lighten the load. And the first aid kit is a lot better than most I've seen (didn't take much to make it a full trauma kit)!

A nice startup bag to get an earthquake bag going. My personal touch would be removing one of the food bag contents and putting in real food as it is a great morale boost to eat a warm meal. Probably some bean dish and a baggy of mashed potato powder. The Fieldmaster you added is a great knife i use it as my EDC knife. Matches and a lighter are always the first choice for fire lighting as it is the easiest way. Especially when you are cold and wet.

Thank you for the excellent review. This is a decent starting point for those with limited time. I believe that many viewers could build a kit, customized for their area of operation, from what they likely have on the shelf. Customizing for your needs is truly important. Here is a real example of why I repeat this like a broken record! In our Philippine subdivision, there are few mosquitoes most of the time. The government claims this area is "dengue-free." Not long after that claim, a youngster contracted the disease. This occurred during the school year and he had been nowhere except between school and home. Knowing that malaria, dengue, and other mosquito-borne diseases lurk both here and in the more rural areas near us, I would absolutely include bug nets and repellants in all family members' kits. Know your area of operation!

Was fairly impressed with this kit. Of course judging by the shape of the rucksack and the luggage type layout, this kit is designed for the sort of people who would just stick it in the boot of the car, RV, home even aircraft. Serious outdoors types would have their own arrangements. Even so, no one is ever walking out of a situation until they are. I would suggest walking with this pack at least 5 miles, preferably 10. Even a lighter uncomfortable pack becomes a burden after a few miles. Just something as simple as repacking can make a lot of difference (less simple during an emergency). If the pack is very uncomfortable after a few miles for you it may need replacing if you can't fix the problem but better to know this before not during.

The common survival card thingy: run your compass by it and you'll see that the card is magnetized. All of mine are anyway. Hang it from a 3 foot thread and it makes an effective compass. Tie it at the exact center edge where the four wrench point is. Think that was coincidental? The knife edge also makes the best flint rod striker you'll find! Comfortable to use and throws masses of sparks!

On the cutting side. I would get the SMITHS pocket sharpener. They make two kinds. Get the pocket survival sharpener. As it comes with a sharpener, a honer, a serrated sharpener, a whistle, a Ferro rod, a compass, and a mini flashlight. The sharpener is also bright yellow. This would help to keep the blades sharp. I would also add some aluminum foil. And extra batteries or rechargeable batteries.

For 200,000 years a "survival knife" was a sharp piece of flint the size of your thumb. 95% of "survival" happens in the first inch of your knife. A good pocket knife is a good tool. A two or three blade is even better. A Mora is simply a locked open pocket knife that doesn't fit well in your pocket.

The real disadvantage to one of those modern "tactical folder" knives like this one is the entire grip design. Wide and flat means it only fits the hand one way. That seriously limits its function. A REALLY good survival knife would be infinitely twistable in the hand and useable from any angle like a paring knife or a classic pocket knife.

That's one of the better kits we've seen but I'm not sure where you're going to use it. If you're at home when the emergency happens then you've probably got everything you need already and you certainly don't need mylar sleeping bags and tent. You could keep it in the car but again, staying in the car with a real sleeping bag is a better idea than the mylar bits and pieces. If you're out on the trail and get lost or meet an earthquake then you're both likely to be carrying kit and unable to carry this emergency pack. It leaves me somewhat confused.
