Nice starter survival kit
After attending the REI wilderness survival workshop, I took their advice to create a survival kit to carry on day hikes (when I wouldn't have my regular backpacking supplies). This kit serves as a nice base for that--it has fire starting supplies, survival blanket, a whistle, duct tape--even a signal mirror and compass. However, the workshop recommends adding a 1 liter stainless steel water bottle (for boiling water), water treatment tablets, picture wire, a small knife, flashlight, ziplock bags, various types of line, fishing hooks, and chapstick. I've added these and an ultralight first aid kit. I now feel prepared to survive a night in the wilderness. This supplemented kit is a nice insurance policy to take on day hikes.
Nice compact set.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice outdoor survival set. It will help you survive longer when your outdoors if needed. It's small and compact to carry around where and whenever. It has a compass, blanket, tinder quick, micro sparker, duct tape, sewing kit, fishing kit, whistle, and a mirror. It has everything you need just to get by a bit longer. Nice thing to have when your outdoors.
SOL Scourt Survival Kit
Excellent ideas but poor execution...other SOL kits include a Fox brand signal whistle; superior to the flimsy "rescue howler" included in this kit. Fishing kit? Maybe in a dedicated long-term kit, not a 72-hour get home/get rescued kit like this one. That small space could have included a simple butane lighter. Overall, a good "start" so as to show folks what type of items they should include in a personal survival kit. Would I recommend it? Based on the quality of the components included, I would not.
Very nice compact kit!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was very surprised at the quality of these kits. They are perfect to throw in your backpack, or in the car with the first aid kit. Everything you could need for survival situations. With as small, and as light, as this is, there is no reason not to have it in your pack. Very happy with these kits. Highly recommend!
A good place to start
Picked one of these up a while ago while browsing in a local REI. As someone mentioned in another review, this small kit is a good place to start, but I would add a few items before I would call it trail ready. It does (barely) cover warmth with the blanket and fire starters, but I would probably add another fire starting method such as a burning glass, a few matches, or a small lighter. This kit does essentially nothing to address water, I would add a couple of water treatment tables and tuck a heavy duty quart zip-top bag in or put the entire pouch into a wide-mouth water bottle. No first aide supplies to be found...but you already have a decent first aid kit, right? There is room for a few adhesive bandages and a foil package of antibiotic ointment, but not much more. There is no knife or cutting tool in the kit, but I don't leave the house without a good pocket knife anyway. As for the rest of the items: the fishing kit doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I kept mine in because you never know what you might need a safety pin or some fishing line for. If you plan on being lost long enough to need food, it's probably a good idea to start with a better kit than this. Duct tape? Sure, why not. If I get a hole in my zip-top bag I'll be able to patch it. I haven't tried the compass, but I'm sure it works. The mirror and whistle are good things to have, I would recommend familiarizing yourself with how to best use a signal mirror before getting lost. This isn't my primary survival kit, but what's nice about it is that it comes in a small, convenient package that I can just tuck into a jacket pocket for short jaunts. I recommend it, with the above caveats.
Survival kit
Contains various and adequate essentials for emergency survival, I hope I never have to use them. I also find the product name humorously ironic … “SOL”
Good kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had some time in the backwoods with this kit, and it is a great starter kit! The fire striker that is included will start the tinder ( you will have to expand the tinder by pulling it apart into a cotton ball type) the emergency blanket is large enough to build a pup tent with to stay dry for a day or two, possibly longer if you are careful not to tear it, and block the ends it will keep in heat from your body at the same time, whistle is loud enough to be heard to alert rescue of general location. Signal mirror is small but does its job. Great addition to BOB bag, get home bag, hiking pack, car, camping etc. Or to build existing first aid/ emergency kit.Would buy again!!
Build your own?
Great concept;basic kit having moderate quality of components.You could, by building your own kit,emphasize fire starting & signalling more. Fishing components are of dubious value. However, this kit might be best used as a holiday gift to a youngster to stimulate interest in outdoors & self reliance.
Quality Piece of Kit
I would definitely want to take a few more items along but for the money you get a some good quality pieces of kit to customize your survival Arsenal
Great kit!
Nice and compact kit. Everything is well made, plus the waterproof bag can fit a cell phone.
