Far cheaper (and more convenient) than buying it piecemeal. Great kit! September 3, 2006

Doug Ritter and his foundation, Equipped to Survive, has come up with a very economic method to equip yourself and your family with an emergency kit. It is small enough to carry unnoticed in a pocket, yet fully functional.
Although you can control the amount of certain items if you put together your own kit (something of a rite of passage among the survivalists/emergency preparedness folk), I spent twice as much putting together a comparable kit. The military issue sparklite and tinder-quick, Fox-40 whistle, and Rescue Flash signal mirror alone could cover the cost of the kit and they are all top notch gear. This pack is extremely high quality through and through, from choice of equipment to packing and instructions. I recommend looking at the ETS website at the slideshow of how such a kit is put together and what Doug Ritter himself recommends that you add to the kit (the pouch can hold a few more small items such as water purification tabs).
The Pocket Survival Pack is an amazing value. I've purchased all of the items separately, and just the shipping or driving to pick up 3 or 4 of the items probably covers half the cost! If you are lucky enough to get everything at one store, you'd be hard pressed to get the entire kit as cheap as this. I know people who have purchased this kit to take the parts for their own self-built survival kits! That's how economical it is. Plus, if you buy this PSP, a portion of the proceeds goes to the ETS non-profit group which gives free survival consulting to deployed troops and is actively involved in improving survival equipment and standards. In fact, Doug Ritter is the only consumer advocate working with the governing body on personal locator beacons used in marine, aviation, and remote travel.
The kit itself comes in a waterproof container. I found it to be a bit tight when closing back up, but there is actually some room for more items. All components are of the highest quality. It's lightweight and I never notice it in a pocket. With the recommended ETS or similar keychain LED flashlight and a good pocket folding knife, you have a complete survival kit that rivals ones costing $100+. These are cheap enough to get one for each car and any camping/hiking/marine/aviation gear you might have. I highly recommend this PSP. I'm not affiliated with ETS, but I've come to appreciate their no-nonsense advice and forums. And if this was a bad kit, I'd still say so. I give it 5 stars, great value for the price and it really could save your life.
Incredible Value and Quality February 27, 2007

I think this survival kit deserves another 5-star review. At 3.9 oz., this kit is small, and that's a good thing to me. It's amazing how much stuff is in this little bag. All of the items are of the best quality. The signal mirror is beautiful. The inclusion of a lens magnifier is something I haven't seen in almost any other kit (great backup for fire starting). I know the firestarter that comes with it is normally about $8 just by itself. I just tried out the Fox 40 Micro whistle, and it's so loud, my ears started ringing (be careful). For a complete personal kit, I would recommend adding a knife, light, survival blanket, water purification tablets, wire saw, and a water bag. For the price, you can't get a better survival kit than this. I am really impressed by the quality here. My only minor complaint is that I wish they made the bag that the items come in a little bigger. I have trouble fitting everything in there properly and keeping it closed after I've taken items out and tried to get everything back in. That's almost not even worth mentioning though because this kit is excellent. I've bought other kits before... the kinds that tell you they have a signal mirror until you find out they mean the inside of the tin can the items come in. Not cool. This AMK Pocket Survival Pack is the best.

A Pocket Full of Miracles! April 14, 2008

As a Volunteer Search And Rescue team leader and someone who has spent a lot of time of in the field, I recognize good gear when I see and handle it. The selection of items Doug Ritter personally picked (and in some cases worked with companies to have made) is incredibly well thought out and, almost more important, it is all of high quality. Perhaps the best thing about this kit is that you might actually have it with you when you need it - that part is up to you, but carrying this is no imposition. If you do need it, you can count on what is there to work.
You should consider also carrying a small first aid kit (into which you've put any personal meds). One of the Adventure Medical Pocket first aid kits will fill the bill for this purpose. With only minimal additional gear (knife, map, water, something to eat as a start) you'd be pretty well set for an active day hike - perhaps more.
But anyone can carry at least this small kit basically everywhere. Do your local SAR team a favor: don't get lost without these items! If you can be heard, stay warm, and attract attention you make it much more likely that you'll be found. This kit make all that -and more- possible!
highly recommend for any camper October 2, 2008
Clarktx (Too Close to Civilization)
This product is really great, I own three now - one for the backpack and 1 in each car. The quality of all the items is really excellent, and at $21.25 (for subscription customers) its a smokin' deal.
I would recommend this for anyone who wants to spend time in the woods, including boy scouts on "great adventures", kids who like to explore, and of course for more serious people like myself who like to get away from civilization on backpacking trips.
Buy this, and spend 15 minutes getting to know the parts and how to use them, and it could really save your life. Of course, you should add a small flashlight, small knife, and it would be useful if you were carrying a metal pot to boil water when you are out there in the woods...
But with this kit, you've solved 90% of your problems.
