WASTE OF MONEY

Erm... the tin could be useful?

Poor quality items... would rather be with this tin than without if if I was left surviving with NOTHING, but they could do so much better

The above says it all really. If you want a decent pocket survival kit be prepared to get the individual bits yourself. The Doug Ritter PSK by contrast is excellent with genuinely useful, well thought out high quality contents... go for that every time. More than worth the price.

POOR EQUIPMENT, BUT A GOOD IDEA!

Some of the equipment is useful.

Some is poor.

Try Doug Ritter's PSK (Personal Survival Kit) for a viable alternative. Or replace the knife with an Opinel #5, throw in a Photon III L.E.D. light, add a Spark-Lite fire lighter, and throw away the matches!!!

DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU PUT IN IT

Wire saw and fishing kit is first rate compass takes a bit of getting used to but it does work.

knife is useless and matches are crap

for a starter kit it is not that bad, but you do need to swap a few bits, first the knife is crap so swap if for a small victorinox swiss army knife, second the fire steel dosent last long so buy a sweedish steel and striker. sewing kit fishing line and the other bits are quite good and come stored in tidy tin that has a good seal.

WASTE OF TIME

no strengths whatsoever better to make your own with gear that works and which you could actually depend on!!

cheap and nasty, and misleading as they could probably convince someone with not much knowledge that they are useful

not very good, shop around MAKE YOUR OWN!!!!

GOOD STARTER KIT

Good for a starter kit, Good as a practice kit also.

Matches are poor, fishing line could be better. Not the best in the world.

Fill with cotton wool, for fire lighting.Add your own bits and pieces.
Better than nothing. then take the best bits and make your own
