 Survival in a backpack (or bucket)? August 4, 2010
Arthur Bradley (Eastern USA)
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
We all love one-stop shopping. But just how effective are pre-packaged disaster preparedness kits? Try putting this kit to use in a real-world scenario.
Example scenario:
Assume that your family of four lives on the East Coast, and a hurricane blows through. Thousands of power poles are downed, leaving you without electricity for two weeks. Gasoline is in very short supply, supermarkets are unable to restock, and local water reserves are contained due to flooding. The temperature is about 85 degrees during the day and 50 degrees at night. there are subsequent bouts of heavy rain. Worst of all, a large tree has fallen through the roof of your house. And, though not prevalent, there are scattered incidents of looting.
Let's test this kit against your family's 14 fundamental needs:
* Food--The 200-calorie energy bars are essentially about like a box of candy bars. They offer enough calories to keep a family of four alive for an additional day or two over having nothing at all. But the less than appetizing meals certainly won't help the morale of your hungry family. There is no can opener to open any cans of salvaged food.
* Water-- The water pouches will last your family of four about six hours (assuming a minimum of one gallon per person/day). After that, you will have to either boil or treat the city water in an effort to nullify whatever contaminants have entered the water supply.
* Shelter--There are no tarps or tools in this kit to patch the hole in your roof, so your shelter is slowly being destroyed by the deluge of rain.
* Light-- The kit's single squeeze radio with flashlight will be inadequate for your family to function at night. There are no emergency candles. After dark, your family will be forced to hunker down and wait for daylight.
* Heating/Cooling -- The temperatures are mild enough that you can survive without heating or cooling. Daytime temperatures will make it uncomfortably warm, as well as increase the need for drinking water. Evening temperatures will be chilly, forcing you to depend on the blankets you already have to keep everyone warm. Space blankets and emergency sleeping bags are unsuitable for anything except short term wilderness survival. They are typically small, easily torn, hard to wrap yourself in, and if questionable benefit over a simple tarp.
* Air -- In this scenario, there are no dangers to your air supply. However, if there were, the kit offers only two N95 lightweight dust masks that would be ineffective against most airborne threats.
* Sleep -- Sleeping in your home is still possible for a while, but conditions will quickly become unhealthy because of sanitation issues.
* Hygiene/Sanitation -- The few packages of tissues and wipes are inadequate for your family's personal hygiene. Without an ample supply of water, your family faces risk of disease from poor sanitation. Also, the inability to maintain an accepted level of cleanliness will drastically drive morale down.
* Medicine/First Aid -- The first aid cards might provide some useful information, but without first aid supplies, they will do little to improve your chances of survival. If anyone in your family becomes injured or ill (both very possible), you will be faced with a very serious situation.
* Communication -- There is nothing in the kit to help contact family or friends, no evacuation plan, no games or activities to keep children entertained, and no information about emergency services.
* Financial Security -- The kit does nothing to help your financial security. In particular, there are no home inventory sheets included to help itemize property damage.
* Transportation/Navigation -- The small radio might offer information to help decide if evacuation is necessary. However, with this kit alone, you will have no spare gasoline, no alternate means of transportation, and no maps of the surrounding area.
* Protection -- The kit offers no personal protection beyond a small pocketknife. Should looters invade your home thinking it empty, your family will be helpless to defend themselves.
As you can see from this simple assessment, pre-packaged DP kits do an inadequate job of preparing for real emergencies. That criticism, however, isn't directed against the companies making these products. In a sense, they are to be saluted for identifying a very real need - better to have this kit than nothing at all! Kits like these can be useful when you need just a few basic supplies, however, it is strongly recommended that you take a more practical approach to preparing your family. To be fair, I should end by saying that this kit is better than the SKO Survival Kit also sold on Amazon (for $30 less).

 Survival grab bag July 25, 2010
Sci fi Dave
Seems ok . Won't know for sure until I need to use it but it should be enough to get by for a few days. Tools are most certainly short time use . So if you exspect a worse case survival scenerio better up grade the tools or start from scratch and make your own pack .
 Very Impressed! May 8, 2010
Biz_Guru
I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this kit but I'm very impressed with it. Based on some of the reviews I was expecting some of the products to be really junky or of inferior quality but they seem decent enough to me. For example, yes the emergency whistle is plastic but it seems like it will do what I need it to do in an emergency which is what I want. I don't plan on using it to referee games or use it on any type of frequent basis.
The bag is heavier than I thought it would be but then again I don't intend to hike anywhere with it. I just want to be able to grab it and get out of the house in case of an earthquake.
I'm going to get another bag to keep in my car.
It's a good product. Thumbs up.
OK item April 5, 2010
Bert C. Pond (Seattle WA USA)
The knapsack container is a high point. We already had a good radio, so the fact that this one was a bit below optimum was OK. Nice selection of bandages,etc.

I got a Deluxe kit for the house & a Quake kit for the car. I was pleased with the
Deluxe kit ... items are practical and sturdy. The quake kit was a waste of money &
I wish i would have spent the extra $20 and upgraded to just ordering 2 Deluxe kits
