[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I was offered this, I was pretty excited as my husband and I are into survival things like this and having resources that we need in an emergency. We got this, and looking at it, it's a nice little kit, small so it's easy to throw in a bag and go. Very compact. It's contents though, are more for making you feel good that you have this bag. We were unimpressed. The blanket is a blanket, it's always good to have in bad weather or for shock. The fire striker was actually really nice. It was easy to operate and worked very well. The waterproof tinder was also pretty nice too. The whistle... whistled, it was loud, but also very basic (which honestly I guess you don't need much). The mirror was seemingly small, so while it's good to have, you have a small area to work with to get a light on. The duct tape was the most disappointing. My husband stuck it to his arm (with hairy arms) and it didn't even stick. It just pulled right off, no pain to him. The compass was nice. My husband's favorite part was the little fishing/sewing kit. He said that that would be useful, however, you would need an additional small fishing pole with it. This kit is very basic, and honestly, it's alright, but not something I would choose. It only has a few things that are useful.
