Customer Reviews

Its definitely not perfect but this is a good starter kit Just got this kit in a couple of weeks ago. And I like it a lot. Thought I'd share the good, the bad, and my personal recommendations on the items in this kit. Take it for what its worth. Kit Includes: 1 - Backpack Good: easily identifiable. Reasonably comfortable. Bad: easily identifiable. Everyone will know what you re carrying essentially painting a target on your back. Quality similar to a grade school backpack or more like a SWAG backpack you would get at convention or conference. Recommendation: Will last for the 72 hours it was intended. But if you don t want people knowing what your carrying you might want to replace this bag with one thats more nondescript. 4 - 2400 Calorie Food Bars - Good enough calories to get you through 72 hours. Bad: Although I haven t tasted it personally, I have heard they don t taste that great. Recommendation: Check out urbanprepper on youtube. He does a taste test on these mayday bars where he eats nothing but these bars for three days. If you have kids or other fussy eaters in your group you might want to supplement or replace these food bars with some other form of nutrition that tastes better. Maybe some freeze dried foods, cliff bars, ramen noodles and/or some jerky. Whatever you chose just make sure its something you can stomach. Otherwise its no good having emergency food you can t even stomach in an emergency. 4 - Solar Blankets - Good : Can keep you warm in a pinch Bad: Thin and easily ripped or torn Recommendation: These are your beginner shelter/blankets and as a last resort can help keep you warm in an emergency. Eventually you will might want to upgrade to an emergency or escape bivvy by SOL. But you will still want to keep these in your kit regardless of whether you upgrade or not. 24 - Pouches of Waters - Good: 6 pouches of water per person. Enough water to get you by until you can find a more plentiful supply. They come package inside a zip loc type storage bag with a spout on the side. This acts as a water bladder to store additional water when you find it. Bad: Obviously 6 pouches of water is not enough to survive three days but there is no way you re going to be able to carry 1 gallon per person per day. Recommendation: None really this should be good enough for a 72 hours situation although you could upgrade to a platypus bladder if you want to in the future. 50 - Water Purification Tablets- Good: Enough to purify water for 4 people for 3 days. Simply gather water in the water bladders and drop a couple of tablets in it and you have ~1 liter of purified water to drink. Bad: No way to actually filter gunk or dirt out of the water and doesn t work against chemicals. Recommendation: You might want to add something to your kit to filter out dirt and gunk from your water like coffee filters or a bandana. Or you might want to take the next step and buy a portable filter system like the sawyer mini or the berkey sport. 4 - Dust Masks - Mine came came with four surgical type dust masks. Good: They work. Bad: You only get four. Recommendation: You might want to get four more as backup. prepper motto. Two is one. One is none. 4 - Ponchos - These are similar to the type of ponchos you can find at dollar store two for $1. Good: I ve used these before as a disposable poncho when going to Disney. They are light, small and easy to carry. They do keep you dry. Bad: They rip very easily. They are super thin but since they are pullovers you can get hot in them quickly. Recommendation: Highly recommend you purchase backups for these ponchos. Its not a question of if but when will they rip or tear. 1 - Flashlight with 2 - Alkaline "D" Batteries - Just what you would expect not too cheap but not exceptionally rugged either. Good: Has a pop out ring so your could attach it to carabiner and hang it from your pack or from a rope to use as a lantern. Bad: Don t know how long the batteries would last on this. Its not exceptionally bright. A little heavy because of the batteries. Recommendation: You could get by with this light but really you should think about upgrading to something lighter, brighter, longer lasting and more dependable. i.e. a name brand LED Flash light. 1 - 2 Person Tent - This is a two person tube tent. orange and 2.5 mils thick. Good: Easy to set up. made to keep you out of the sun and rain. Doesn t take up a lot of room in your pack very light. Bad: Only a two person tent, the other two people are screwed. 2.5 mils is about the thickness of a heavy duty garbage bag. You have be careful to clear out the ground underneath because twigs, branches and even thick grass could poke holes in this. Also I don t think this will stand up to a strong wind. Being open on both sides water will definitely get in if it rains no matter what you do. Recommendation: This is one of the very first things in this pack you will want to replace or upgrade. Or again you could just go with a SOL emergency bivvy in addition to this tent and use the blankets to cover the ends somehow. Shelter is very important and although this is better than nothing it is barely just that. Look up emergency tube tent on youtube you will see a demonstration of what this looks like. 1 - 50' Nylon Cord - Whats to say its cordage. Good: 50 and very light. Bad: obviously not as good as paracord but also not as expensive. Although light it does take up a fair bit of space. Recommendation: You can get by with this. This would be one of the last things I would upgrade. 1 - 12 Hr. Light Stick - Mine came in yellow - Good: its additional light source Bad: you only get one. Remember, two is one. one is none. Recommendation: Definitely add more light sticks whenever you get the chance. 1 - 54 Piece First Aid Kit. Typical travel style kit with bandages etc. Good: Good enough to help stop infections from cuts or scratches. Bad: If your seriously hurt this kit will do nothing for you. Recommendation: You will want to personalize this kit for your group. Add any medications you might need i.e. pain relievers or prescription medications you take. Add burn cream and more triple antibiotic at least. Also just a tip. Stay away from antidiarrheal such as imodium. 50 - Waterproof Matches these come in your typical cardboard matchbox with strikers on either side. Good: Waterproof matches and you get plenty of them. Bad: When mine came the box was smashed and the matches were spread out over the bottom of the pack. I didn t lose any and was able to glue the box back together. Recommendation: You should always, always have a lighter in your kit. Next a fire steel or mag block. Also some tinder like cotton balls dipped in vaseline. 1 - Utility Knife - Gray die cast metal utility knife with one blade. Good: Sharp razor blade. Bad: Fragile blade. will dull quickly and no replacement blade. if the blade snaps your pretty much screwed. Recommend: at the very least additional replacement blades. But if possible a good multi tool. next a really nice knife. 1 - 5 N 1 Whistle - Has a whistle, a compass, a tiny signal mirror, a striker on the side, and a screwtop waterproof compartment for storing matches etc. Also has lanyard for hanging around your neck. Bad: compass is not very precise. Signal mirror is super small. I doubt the striker on the side is good for anything. Recommendations: You will want to keep this in your kit because the whistle alone is worth it. 1 - AM/FM Radio with Batteries - My kit came with a QFX brand - 9 Band AM/FM Radio. Good: Small, Light, works, also pretty loud. Bad. Can be difficult to tune in radio stations. They don t always come in clear. No weather band. Recommendation: I m keeping this in my kit I just like it. But I also have a NOAA weather radio. I recommend you add this to your kit as well. 1 - Camper's Stove - Coghlans 9560 Emergency Stove with 24 solid fuel pellets. Good: light, small package, efficient cooking stove comes with 24 fuel pellets. Bad: I ve heard some people review it and say the paint bubbles off and can ruin your pot. Recommendation: This is the weirdest thing to include in the kit because you don t have anything in the kit to cook. Or even a cup or pot to boil water. Its nice to have but you ll need to get a cup or pot to make this useful otherwise its just dead weight. 1 - Pair Leather Palm Gloves Nothing heavy duty about theses gloves just your typical work gloves. Nice to have definitely a keeper. but you could upgrade to a better fitting type work glove. 1 50 ft roll of duct tape - This was a surprise because it wasn t on the description of the kit. Good - Duct tape the ultimate survival tool. Bad - none. Recommendations if your kit doesn t come with one I recommend you just go to your nearest dollar store and pick up roll. It ll probably be the same brand.Overall- A decent starter kit for the money. Other emergency kits are likely to have the same quality gear for more money. So for value I give this kit 4 stars. I like this kit but I m under no illusions that everything in this kit will work for me in an emergency. It is a decent quick and inexpensive way of starting your emergency kit. However, it is far from a turnkey solution. If you re expecting this kit to meet your every need during an emergency your in for a rude awakening. But if your looking to get started on your kit and your on a budget this kit seems like the best value on Amazon. 4Good starter kit This kit is a good place to "start" in building an emergency kit. It had good essentials but many of the items were lacking. The flashlight especially was very flimsy and the batteries were dead out of the package. I will be replacing this item. The water was adequate for a quick bug-out kit and they food bars were ok. I will be replacing them also with better ones in the future. Everything else in the kit was perfect for the starter, but I will be adding a larger first-aid kit. 3Good Starter This is the perfect starter kit. I am not a Emergency Guru, but I know that there are a few items that most will want to upgrade. The flashlight, radio, and utility knife will be replaced in my bag. The stove is great, but there is nothing in the kit to cook. The bag is decent, but I did receive the black (Emergency Kit printed in yellow) bag as pictured. Instead I received a digital camo pack, which is not a gig, I prefer the one I received. I plan on picking up another. 5Thoughts on a good starter kit I've read many reviews on these premade emergency kits. Let me start off by saying this kit is small, compact, and in a backpack, which signifies that it's designed for you to be on the move for three days. Now let me say that the quality of the provided items are not the BEST quality, and for the price, not expected to be. The knife is adequate but I've replaced it with a better knife. Every item is useful, and should last you your emergency. The biggest concerns seem to be the emergency rations and the amount of water. Reading the directions you are recommended to not drink water for the first 24 hours unless you're ill which leaves you with almost 13 ounces of water for two days, again considered inadequate, the recommended amount is 1 gallon a day. But the water comes in resealable plastic pouches with a drinking spout. You're also given a vial of water purification tablets. With a little ingenuity and common sense you have enough water to get you by for a day or two, and then you can purify as much water as you need for the remainder of the 72+ hours this kit was designed for. The rations truly don't invoke thirst and are individual blocks in a single mylar vacuum sealed wrapper. My only complaint is that the wrappers are prone to losing their seal, but a person CAN survive for 3 days without eating food. The two person tent leaves you to wonder how you can fit the four persons the kit was designed for, but again, a little ingenuity, you're given four emergency blankets, large enough to rig something together and share blankets if the situation arises. The gloves are cheap, I've replaced them, the radio is battery operated, I wish it were crank like the bucket, I wonder why they chose to use battery operated. The flashlight isn't top notch but works and is light. The whistle doesn't give you directions but does work as a flint and I've packed it with wax soaked tinder and two of the storm matches. For a pre-made kit, this is the best value I've seen, but can also do for some adding. I also replaced the bag itself with a larger bag from the dollar store to fit a small bottle that will also work as a water tight container for any papers I may carry. The first aid kit is VERY basic, but with an extensive kit, a person can get overwhelmed with tools that they do not know how to use, so add to it if you know what you think would be beneficial to have. I also threw in some hard candy, for morale's sake. I would recommend this kit, I've put together my own, and thought that I'd see how well this stacked up to what I have. The rations, water and water purifiers are the heart of this kit and are worth the cost alone even if you do choose to replace everything else 5Survival Kit Let's start off by saying I'm in no way a professional or experienced "prepper". I do, however, live in the Pacific Northwest and found that this kit will meet my family's needs if we were ever in an emergency situation (we keep it in the car). It has food, water, matches (waterproof!), blade, water purifier etc. I would recommend splitting the items up into 2 backpacks since it might be quite heavy for 1 person to carry without a break. I did add some thing like a first aid kit, er um feminine products and things like that. Very decent buy especially for the price. 5Perfect Had everything we need in case of any emergency 5Great value, convienent! For the money this kit is a fantastic start for a short and minor disaster. I'm giving it 4 stars because I recognize the price and that no kit put together for large quantity sale will be perfect or high end. What follows is a list of criticisms though to help people who buy it round it out or know more about what they're getting. This is NOT a Bug out Bag, and a good BoB will cost you $1,000 to put together not even including weapon. I got this kit as something that will hang out in my vehicle full time (water and food in winter or peak summer months could be an issue here, still strategizing on that, e.g. keep a smaller bag with those components at work) and provide necessities to help get me to a BoB or home should things go awry while I'm on the road or at work.The backpack has "Survival Kit" on it in large yellow letters. This is dumb, you know what it is and you don't want people who don't have one of their own to know what it is. For now I've taped it over with black gorilla tape. I'm thinking about a better solution including making it look like a college student's bag. Imagine for some reason you are forced to walk home or to a designated shelter, and things happen to be causing people to be irrational, you do not want a big target on your back.The 5-in-1 survival tool is complete crap because the compass for me was DoA (this is the -1 star). This is very dangerous for someone who needs it but didn't test it when they got it and on a regular basis. A good compass though costs more than this entire kit. I moved half the matches to the inside of this tool, just to be located elsewhere and a bit more water resistant. Don't forget you still need the striker on the box. I threw a bic lighter in the bag as well.For some reason I got an entire extra box of no name band aids, I didn't see it in the product description. That's kind of nice, but I removed it. No one needs 30 standard band aids in a 3 day kit. Instead of the small n piece first aid kit I'd rather have quick clot and a compression bandage. The things that standard first aid kits do for you basically boils down to unnecessary comforts in the scope of a 3 day disaster bag, aside from covering some inconvenient cuts at best. Wear the gloves. It's a logical addition though (the small varied kit, not the significant box of one bandage type)The water supply is 3 day and 4 person only in the sense that you have iodine based water purification tablets (50 quarts worth) and there are 4 plastic pouches with spouts that each contain 6 ~4 ounce water packets. After you remove and exhaust the packets the pouches can be used to gather water from a source and purify it. Otherwise ~26 ounces of water per person isn't impressive for 72 hours. If I was building this kit I would probably do the same though, at most I'd bump it up about 50%. Water is heavy.The food supply is a bit thin at 800 calories per person per day by any standard. Yes I realize this is "survival" kit, but I still think 3600 cal bars would have been a nice touch.My D batteries have a use by date 2 years shy of the food and water expiration.The bag leaves little room for your own additions, which I imagine people will have some. I've added a full tang hunting knife, Gerber multi-tool, quikclot trauma kit, bic lighter, and 8oz hand sanitizer (many uses). I have other things in my vehicle so they don't need to be in the bag, wet ones, fire steel, compass, hand/feet warmers, small but powerful flashlight, q-tips, tissues, toilet paper, ibuprofen, antacid, boots, gloves, baseball hat, outerwear-warmth, and outerwear-rain (additional gear in winter season also). A few of these if not in vehicle where bag is used I would include in the bag itself; especially fire steel, good compass, and toilet paper/tissues.On the average the quality of all items, as expected, is low. What do you expect though, put more stuff and better stuff in your BoB or house.This is no substitute though for what you can inexpensively do at home, rather a nice addition or best on the road. Realistically bottled water is supposed to have an indefinite shelf life, you can easily keep gallons per person stored at home. In addition your house presumably has a couple weeks worth of food all about.I expect the honey bucket kit to be more common in the house, this backpack kit seems more like a compact and practical mobile addition or at work in the locker/desk.If you are truely looking for a grab-and-go bag away from home and do not plan to build real BoBs (outdoor survival of undetermined length, as opposed to 2-3 days) for up to four people that you will not augment too much then this seems to be a much better choice: http://www.amazon.com/Survival-Earthquake-Evacuation-Emergency-Preparedness/dp/B002H5Y9YY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1335747080&sr=8-3 are you really going to scoff at an extra $35 per person for making it well through a short disaster experience?The earliest, simplest, and cheapest differences between the Mayday kit here and my BoB are a part of this other kit. e.g. mylar sleeping bags instead of mylar blankets, e.g. hand crank equipment.I will update this if I experience any quality issues around the food or water in the future. 4everything you need When it comes to a survival kit for an average family, i believe that something is better than nothing. This kit is EXCELLENT to have around in the event that some unknown catastrophe forces you to leave quickly without warning or time to prepare. I know I may never use it and it may sit in my house for years BUT I ALSO know that in the event my family and I have to leave our house quickly, I can keep us prepared and alive by just grabbing 1 backpack. That brings me some comfort and peace, and for me is worth the $65.00.I also slowly add additional items to the pack (better knife, extra light, emergency cash, etc). Highly recommended product. 54 person pack is not for 4 people. It is for 2. Not actually a 4 person pack. Only enough food and water for 1 day for 4 people. There is only a single 2 person tent and my pack only came with 2 mylar blankets. It is a great bag to have in a pinch but you will need to add items if you have a family of 4. I would probably have spent extra money to get an actual 4 person pack if I had realized it was not sufficient for 4 people. 3I'm not a crazy doomsday prepper... But I am terrified of zombies. This little kit has enough food and water for 4 people for 3 days! I am only a single person, so this will get me through a disaster for a good period of time. The cooking stove, flashlight, and tent look pretty cheap, but you can easily swap some of these items for better ones as time goes on. Wonderful to have on hand in case of emergency (think hurricanes, snowstorms, earthquakes, EMP, etc not necessarily zombies). Everyone should have a kit and a plan. 5
