Sorry for any confusion, I had to correct a mistake and re-upload the video.

I'm usually not one to complain about pricing on gear kits, but $80 really does seem to be a rip-off for that thing.

I think if I paid more than $14.99 for that I would feel duped.

25' of micro cordage. 6' para cord. Compass. Razor blade. Wire saw. 80 bucks for that? 5 under ten dollar items. Nope. I do appreciate the video though, its been a rough Friday. I needed the laugh.

Bug thumbs up on the review, kit is definitely not worth $80 imo. Thanks for the great content. 🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

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.

It is pretty cool. But not 80$ cool. Thanks for the review

Looks to be decent quality but $80 is pretty crazy, best glide ASE pocket survival kits (which ever flavor you want) are like half that cost and have a lot more useful equipment included.

I know the argument is always that you pay extra for the company to pick and pack a ready-made kit, but 80 bucks!! Paracord, string, razor blade compass, and wire saw. No way

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 👍 👍 👍 🍻 🍻 🍻

Glad to see you are still with us ..haven't seen a kb video in awhile.

You cannot be serious $80 for that!! Someone is pulling someones chain....👏

I've made kits like that out of PVC tubes and screw on caps

I would ditch the paracord for a small fishing kit and fire starting materials. :)

I have some basic survival things, and always keep a case or two of water. Not hard core into this stuff. However, I just really enjoy your videos.

I agree that cheap wire saws are cheap. But, can't one put a stick or something through the loops to make them easier to use? Thanks for a great presentation and channel!

Hi Eric, it looks good from the outside but I am distinctly underwhelmed by the contents. I know it is not a survival kit but it seems a convoluted and expensive way just to have some cordage to hand.

Maybe it's just me, but for as much as I like the form factor, I think the included gear is pretty worthless.

Am I missing something? It’s an aluminum tube with some cordage & a wire saw. Folks definitely scroll the kitbash videos and watch a couple of the quality kit reviews. IMO this is an $80 impulse buy at the REI checkout line. Save your money & buy quality tools. You’ll thank yourself

80 bucks for a wire saw 6ft of para and some string? ...wow oh I forgot a razor and two tin cans ..no

Its cool to see what $80 buys, thanks for that.

If thats 80 bucks, that company is insane

They’ve been trying to sell those things for years. Started out with stainless or aluminum and >$300… The form factor is appealing visually but it’s really not a practical shape to house survival gear IMO. It’s a gimmick that’s cool looking but weak in practice

It wasn't even worth $35 on clearance at REI

Vssl kits (all of them) looks good, but the container costs 8-10.times more than the actual gear and the gear is not even intresting, razor blade is around 25¢, cordage is 2-3$, a cheap wire saw is 3$, a premium quality compass is like 30-40$, but its not even close. I always love to see your videos, but this is the worst kit we saw in this channel.

It’d be worth it if it came with $75.

All zip ties are reusable if you're determined enough

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 love your vids! With that being said im not a fan of this kit. Those wire saws are junk in my opinion and i have yet to see one actually hold together. It is nice that you can choose what goes in there seeing that it has a hefty price tag, but this is just my opinion

$80??? I don't think I'd buy it even if it was $10

Vssl does refills for their kits and I buy them for my survival kits the refill packs are 15 dollars and are just the little tins. The only vssl worth buying are the first aid and the coffee grinder.

I don't think they make survival gear anymore. I went to the website, and the only thing they sell now are coffee-related items.

I know you complain about people talking about the costs but you gotta admit that’s a little much to swallow. As a veteran sniper in the Marine Corps , most of those things are truly not used in an actual emergency. Yeah I’m out!

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.

Great presentation. I can see lots of potential here. You could also use the can as a cup.

Curious if it’s cheaper in Canada . Canadians pay significantly more for U.S gear than we do . Maybe there’s a duty fee tacked on that bumps the price up . 50 $ would seem more appropriate.

Yes a little late to the game. Thanks for the review. Maybe if I had Elon Musk's pocket change and going for a kit full of overpriced good looking gear. VSSL is neat I think thier product is very limiting due to the container size

I've always heard this company pronounced "vessel". Just curious if you are saying the letters for a specific reason? Great videos! Thanks for creating content.

Diy organizer pouch survival kit 2 ???

Would you or have you shown your personal bug out/survival kit I'd be interested in what you have come up with

I like the kit but it is definitely to expensive for what you get. If it had more room to add stuff to it it would be worth it but space is limited

80 bucks is out of the question

I agree, these little compact kits are awesome

First off: I always enjoy your videos! Secondly, the Walmart kit you reviewed a while back would be closer to $80 in value than this thing, and I believe you paid $6 for it with an original price of $20. This kit is pitiful. The packaging is nice, but there's no substance. Thanks for all you do!

At $80 I consider this a scam

Over sized and over priced for the contents. Good review.

I think the para cord may be fire cord

$8.00 not $80.00 would still be too high a price! I hope they just gave that to you and you didn't actually buy it.

The compass does not look great for hiking.

There is no way that kit is worth $80. I think they are duping people who buy them!!

I will buy it from you for 10 dollars, including shipping!

Huh! I thought the name was pronounced out, as in "vessel".

No way.

They've always been a gimmick. I'll stick to Solkoa and Esee

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.

Absolutely not

I understand people are lazy to do things themselves but for 80 dollars we all can build 4 of these

20$ tops almost don’t want it for free

Pass on this one due to price.

its not even a 20 dollar kit

As much as I like the idea behind those kits by VSSL I gotta say that right there is not worth 80 bucks, quality be damned.

$80 for rope and a razor blade? Bah!

some of these premade kits are highly priced but could be worth it if youre starting from scratch, but this one is unequivocally not worth the price. thats $20 worth of gear max. when compared to the bestglide ase kits (i learned about from your channel i might add) this REALLY seems like a grift, you could get 2 of the medium Bestglide kits for this price.

I’ve always been a fan of the VSSL concept but not the price. I’ve tried to replicate the VSSL and can do it cheaper but not better. The homemade version is significantly more bulky and way heavier. VSSL’s stuff is hard to beat and nearly impossible to replicate on the cheap. Nice review on a small kit.

👍

Rip off that wire saw will break

I wouldn’t even pay $20 for that.

Looks good, but not $80 good. Maybe $40ish...

What a rip

I wouldn't pay 40 let alone 80

$80.00 for that ? 🙄

What a ripoff, jeez

I always saw VSSL as overpriced survival/camping toys. Not practical at all to take with you hiking or as edc.

hey bro, new sub here, u.s. marine vet here 93' to 97' active ! , would love to talk more , i am not on social media though , if you know of any free g.a.w.'s out there , PLEASE send me links or let me know , + i am tracking down some items as well for trade only though , talk soon bro, thanks > tom !

Excellent review, not for me.

Way to expensive..........for a wire saw.....some cordage......a razerblade and a cheap compass

rip off

Not good value for money

This is maybe $10 worth of items for $80. I'm not seeing any advantages. I could put together a better kit for far less. What a ripoff.

I know you hate to hear this, I've heard you say it a hundred times. But I could make that kit a lot cheaper than $80

$80????? SMH

Wow, I would have a hard time paying one third the price they are asking. $80.00 is completely out of the question.

😂

This is clearly a yuppie product. That’s less than $10 dollars of “gear”

Okay, NO! This is aesthetically nice, but NOT worth EIGHTY U.S. DOLLARS. Ridiculous.

Way over priced

That thing is a freaking rip off. 0/10

This kit is very much lacking in gear and for 80 dollars it’s definitely not worth it.

What a joke.

That is overly priced.

Useless kit 80 dollar premuim rope

Teady for what exactly? This kit is a ridiculous joke, not one of those things would come in handy under any circumstance. Im not angry cos I didnt buy it but Im dumbfounded that you arent furious they took your cash. Words cannot express the uselessness of this "kit". Except maybe as a neat container for your weed...

A big waste of money.

Nice 😊

just say vessel.. V S S L 😳

I understand that the company needs to make money, they put it together for you and manufacture parts. But $80 is way to much and this specific one seem pretty useless in the sense that the gear in that takes up more space than needed packed like that.

No, they're insanely stupid and lame ...... so lets watch the vid ! (grin) $80 bucks ....... HA !!!

Overpriced 😂
