I like the general idea of letting us in on good tips but I think GOOD needs to be the focus. This kit is NOT good. This thing is supposedly $110 normal and on sale for $75.
I spent 5 minutes on Amazon and came up with pretty much all better stuff for $65.
Multi tool – $4.99
Waterproof matches – $3.80
Boltwell first aid manual – (included with the below kit)
Micro first aid pouch – $10
Nalgene water bottle (see the filter)
Water particle filter (this is a small sieve?! A pre-filter at best. For $8 you can get this & the bottle combined with a charcoal filter)
Water purification tablets ($8.90 and that’s expensive. Just use iodine drops.)
Weather radio ($15 – MUCH better – you get a hand crank, with light, radio and USB charger)
Whistle ($4.75 with a better whistle that includes a compass, match holder and fire steel)
Disposable toilet bag ($10 – being really generous here)
