This is a great kit, although--fortunately--I haven't had to use it yet. It is very complete, and the backpack has padded shoulder straps and a waist strap for distributing the weight. This is important if you think you might have to walk a ways with it. I keep this kit in my car; my wife also has a kit in her car. We also have a kit at home. Did I mention we live in earthquake country? :-)

If you keep this in your car, and you don't wear comfortable walking shoes most of the time when you drive/commute, you should probably do what my wife did, and throw a pair of walking shoes in the trunk along with your kit. Breaking the high heels off looks great in the movies, but it isn't practical.

The only thing I wish that this kit had was the type of rechargeable flashlight that will also recharge your cell phone; I might be getting one of those separately, but it is a shame that they didn't add that feature, since they have practically everything else!

Make sure you check the shipping cost on these: Some distributors advertise a low price, and then charge a shipping rate almost equivalent to the sales price!

There's a lot of stuff in this kit, which is nice. It looks like they spent their money wisely. Some things are high quality, some things are cheapo but trade-offs are inevitable unless you want a $300 kit. First off I like that it has a good bag/backpack. They didn't seem to skimp here, it's big and seems well made. Most of the stuff inside is pretty standard survival supplies. For the size and cost they seem to have made decent trade-offs. The am/fm radio is a little cheapy thing, but in a pinch that's fine. The "army knife" is a cheap generic, not a real Swiss army knife. I'd suggest spending extra and get a real Swiss Army or a Leatherman. But in a pinch the cheapo knife will do. I bought a 7" USMC style survival knife to add to it. For back woods use you want a real, big ass survival knife, not a 3" pocket knife. The whistle and compass is fairly cheap too but works. You can load extra matches in the container if you want. Get a real compass if you plan to be in the woods a lot. I like that there's extra room in the bag. I doubled the food rations. I also added a cheap family radio walkie talkie and threw in an old cellphone. It has no service plan but all cells can still call 911. The generator flashlight again is kind of cheap but effective, works good with no batteries needed. For serious trips, get a Surefire or similar flashlight. All in all it's a great all purpose kit, good for around the house or the car -- urban or backwoods use.

I don't really know what to say, other than BUY THIS! I live in San Francisco, and work over the bridge. My wife and I have one by our bed in case of an earthquake. We also have one in both of our cars in case we are separated. You need to add some personal effects to them (shoes, sweatshirt, etc), which it states on the tag, but when you live in a big city, if something serious happens (which is only a matter of time in this day and age) you need to be prepared to leave. Get a map, know your escape plan & meeting destination, especially if you're separated, and feel much safer knowing your loved one is prepared in case of emergency. My only feedback would be to possibly change the backpack, not because its bad quality, because it isn't. I just don't like the fact that it says "Survival Kit" on it. In a time of panic, that last thing I want people knowing is that I'm carrying a survival kit, especially in my wife's case and we happened to be separated. It draws attention, and people do anything in a time of need. For women, I would recommend carrying a can of pepper-spray or a firearm - (just to feel safe). My philosophy is its better to be prepared than not. Worst case scenario, you never use it and that's a good thing!
