I had high hopes for those two bags, and then I saw the air holes. I'd rather make the kit myself, which I am doing with a 64 oz water bottle from Walmart.
The modifications I'd make are take the whistle. Put inside some trick birthday candles a small fishing kit and a few weatherproof matches. Then on the outside wrap a small hank of paracord.
Not terrible. I would change out the multi-tool to a Gerber or a Leatherman. Add a lighter AND matches and change out the cheap 1/4 in ferro rod to a better one. Add a round canteen cup and a Condor water bottle bag. Add a fixed blade knife (like the Mora Garberg). To the first aid kit- I would add some 2x2 guaze pads, a 1 in roll of gorilla tape, and some antibiotic ointment (It's a boo-boo kit, not for SIGNIFICANT injury!)
For excellent first aid kits check out Refuge Medical. Take basic first aid and a Stop the Bleed class. Check out being trained for CERT, Community Emergency Preparedness Teams. Wear the whistle (get a higher quality whistle).
I’m not a fan of the pre-packaged kits packed into knockoff Nalgene bottles. Nonetheless this video is worthwhile so that the casual enthusiast can make informed decisions. It’s been said a million times: build your own kits. And roll with a stainless, single walled bottle.
I'll eat what I want! Also you could pasturize the water in that bottle, I wouldn't reccomend it but most of the things I would do in a true survival situation I wouldn't often recommend so...
The only time a water bottle should contain a kit is when it is first purchased. After that the bottle should contain water. Find a small durable bag for the kit and add a better ferro rod, multi tool, matches, cotton balls with petroleum jelly, etc. I would recommend not using the cutting edge of any knife to get sparks from a ferro rod unless you just like sharpening them constantly. The kit is ok but could be way better.
Those gallon Ziploc bags should have been regular bags that could hold water. It was crappy to perforate them. You basically spent money on a water bottle with a silly excuse for a first aid kit. A penlight but no batteries A candle but no matches
this kit is honestly horrable. its just a first aid and a water bottle. good things to have. but some things where just ruined or wasted. the first aid bag was just a waste. the water bottle IS the bag. the bags have holes. making them useless for even making a lense for fire starting. could of made the bottle out of Pyrex or metal for being able to be used to boil water. defaintly could of did better.

Amen
Meh, I'd hate to have to use it for real. I guess you could add a few vital items, but are pressed for space.
The orange whistle tube has the Ferro rod and mirror get unglued easily, it's concerning 😅

It could be worse. The Wrangler once tested a Chinese kit with a comb in it.
What junk. The best parts the bottle and the triangle bandage.
