For $80 you can get a useful compass, cordage, a real saw blade & save on the weight of the container.

Most kits are probably going to be overpriced, considering the cost of the individual supplies and that the companies need to make profit. The kits that seem to have a gimmick about them probably use that gimmick to increase the charge even more.

in a pinch you could boil some water in the cilinder, but for much less money you could buy the stanley shot glass cup and use the similar cilinder, which contains the steel cups, to create your own mini survival kit with a small boilling cilinder.

No it's not worth the money - in my opinion. Six feet of paracord is a pisstake. The handles on the survival saw are not as good as quality rings. It's a gear concept for people who have money to burn. Good review as per usual - All the very best to you and yours 👍 👍 👍 🍻 🍻 🍻

I feel like they are making fun of me. $80 if you break down say $40 for the tube. That leaves string a razor blade a few feet of para cord and 2 bins for $40. For real what about that is survival. The most important things are water and fire. I can see now in a accident and everyone is checking gear “ I have string and a razor blade “ probably end up being the first person they eat. Then to add insult to injury they tie me up with my own string.

I´m disappointed. I thought from the optic that this is a water container, maybe even for boiling water, with a "one day" pack inside. Why such a durable package for things that need no real protection.When a "hard" package for your survival stuff then something with a function. My "medium" pack is my aluminium water bottle(which can be used for boiling water) and my "big" pack is my Bundeswehr (German Army) Cooking gear.

The thing about the higher price, is because of higher taxes in Kanada. If you think it's bad here, go up north. My friend lives just outside of Toronto, and he's moving his family down here to Texas next month. They've had it with the liberal BS and being taxed up the wazoo. Too bad they don't move their company south of the border, and then these would be more in line with pricing and profit margins that end users would be okay with. Keep up the great work.
