The picture of the first aid kit that unrolls with the gear neatly oragnized inside is NOT what you get. You get a clear plastic bag with everything stuffed in it. Had i known that this did not come in a handy organizing case i would not have bought this particular kit. It says it came with a pvc pouch (8x12) and a waterproof nylon pouch (7 by 10) but i only have the 7x10. Otherwise, its a decent kit. But without the organization of the pouch it didnt come with, its a big hassle to get whatever you are trying to find.
Edit:
it is also missing the 35 foot nylon cord. it has the 12' and the thread. the compass i came with is useless.the whistle will get you by, but buy a better one.

I bought this and I should have just flushed my money down the toilet. When I ordered I knew the items would be cheap but not this bad.

The "reusable" poncho is made of plastic thinner than the cheapest garbage bags...think saran wrap. Actually a large heavy duty garbage bag would make you a far better poncho as indicated in Cody Lundin's 98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive . I HIGHLY recommend this book, is a wonderful read and will help you make your own kit and be prepared.

The "mirror" is so laughable...no reflection at all! Piece of really crappy cheap plastic with no reflective qualities..not even as much as tin foil.

I did like the pvc pouch it comes in and use that to hold one of my reference books (Cody's ^.^). It is actually quite nice. The plastic whistle is also just fine. As for fishing gear, seriously go down to your local supermarket type store that carries fishing gear and get one of their cheap starter kits for like 7-10 dollars, I got his one from Amazon South Bend 137 Piece Deluxe Tackle Kit...you will be glad you did. Same for the first aid items.

In conclusion, for the money I spent on this kit, I got a nice bag and a plastic whistle. [One last note....this would be better then nothing (well almost better then nothing) as every person should have a survival kit in my opinion.Do yourself and your family a huge favor and make your own kit and do some research, you will be far happier and better off.]

Not a bad kit for the money. Fishing gear in an emergency kit always makes me laugh. Your first priority is protection from hypothermia/exposure either by clothing, shelter or fire. Second is rescue, being found, extraction, etc. I don't think you'll do much fishing while trying to keep warm at night, and while extracting yourself or being found the next day, as is what happens in most all emergency survival situations. Fishing gear belongs in an extended stay kit or on a planned fishing trip. I know we all think about crash landing in a remote part of the world and needing to eat something after a few weeks so we better have a fish hook just in case we are near a great fishing lake and the fish are biting... not likely. I'll take a compass over a fish hook any day! Make a fish trap instead - fish swim in and they can't swim out. While the trap does its work you can prepare firewood or signal for help. Most people couldn't catch a fish with the best pole and gear anyway, never mind just a hook and some line. PLEASE Help Me Spread The Message... NO FISH HOOKS! The life you save may be your own... learn to make a fish trap. Okay, I've done my part. Good luck!
