5.0 out of 5 stars 6 in 1... not 5!, March 21, 2011

Don't forget about the ferro rod glued to the side of the container! The lanyard could be used for many things like shelter building, securing a bandage or mending clothing. I know it's not much but it's still there. The compass is luminescent and works well. The ferro rod is small but it does work if you know how to use it. The whistle is loud and hurts my ears. I stuff it with waterproof matches, fire starter and striker. I submerged it for a few minutes and then lit a non waterproof match as a test - no problems with leaks. I got it at Walmart on clearance for a buck.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very low price, but still not a substitute for a real kit, June 28, 2010

Well, don't think this is a survival kit. It ain't. What we have here is a match safe/case with a decent whistle (a good thing). The mirror is too small, and the flint is inadequate. The compass is OK as long as you understand it's hardly for orienteering.

However, it goes around your neck, is lightweight, and it's something you won't feel silly carrying on a run along that well traveled trail you know so well.

There are several versions of this thing, and this is likely the least expensive. Maybe buy a bunch for a Scout troop?

Stock it with some high quality matches (and a striker), carry a Swiss army knife and a tiny 1st aid kit, and you're fine if you're not really going in the wilderness

It is what it is... a $5 piece of plastic. The whistle is good quality and would serve it's function in an emergency. The compass was surprisingly accurate! As for the container, it fits roughly 20 matches nicley and is completely waterproof. The mirror is small but does work. But i don't even know why they include the ferro rod... If it even is one! You would never be able to light a fire with it.. you would literally be better off with two sticks! Overall, you're better off buying a small button compass, a good quality signal mirror, a small waterproof match container, and a firesteel. It's just redundant to get this if you could have one good quality version of each item.
