Little background, spent a lot of time outdoors, including as an 03 who went through Army Arctic Leadership courses and as an instructor at Bridgeport. Then life took me from rural/outdoor life to urban environments. I tend to tailor my pocket kits accordingly. In the wild, I’m going to be lost or injured, so my kit focus on emergency shelter, water and fire; and is mostly backup to the clothing and gear I’d normally carry (10 essentials and snacks). This kit would be more like what I’d have for my urban kit, where I wouldn’t normally carry survival items and would probably be in more of a self rescue, E & E, mode. This kit might be all I have if I have to evacuate in an urban environment.
It's a very nice little kit. I have it, the Core Water Module kit and the Combat Search, Evasion and Recovery kit that the wife bought me for Christmas. Their quality is good and a good selection in the kits, though they are a bit pricey. I generally have my own, self made 1 day kit that's not much bigger, but covers the 10Cs but I drop this in a the wife's bag or a kid's bag when we go hiking.
It looks pretty but it's a no from me. You can piece the same kit from things around the house for a lot less. ...I'd have to see someone actually survive for 48 hrs before I spend on 1 kit when I can make multiples myself for the same price.
Not sure how many of these kits you could make for the same money. The compass is like $12 on amazon, $13 for 2 Aloksaks, Storm matches are $5 a box, water tablets are 2 for $1, whirl-pak bags are $1.50 each (unless you buy 500 then they are ~$.21) That is $26 and only 5 of the 23 items. If you paid an average of $1 on everything else that would equal $44. You might get a discount if you buy in bulk, but then you would have too much of one thing and not enough of others to make complete kits.
Looks to me like a good kit or PSK for backup of essential supplies. I made one myself, collected some essentials for a daughter to carry on her travels, and could probably use what I have accumulated to make more, but everyone does not have the gear on hand. If I don't have my own with me, I substitute the Doug Ritter Pocket Survival Pak I acquired a long time ago. If price is an issue per one of the comments, at least one can use it as checklist or comparison point. It is hard for me to judge value when I already have an alternative, but I would rather pay a bit more, whether too much or not, and have say 70% cost value for what I paid, then half price for an inferior kit with cheap components and have 10% value. Too cheap and it could even be negative value when you rely on something that does not work.
I would buy it , money you spend would more than you pay for this , but harbor freight has a survival kit on sale for 20 dollars slightly bigger but just has much stuff
When did you purchase your solkoa systems survival kit? I just ordered a “in stock” kit , got a confirmation email then nothing since. Facebook seems to be gone , no traffic on their IG or YT. Emails are being sent back as Errors and can’t be sent and their phone goes straight to voicemail. What was your experience like with them? Shipping time etc. kinda worried now gonna be honest . Can anyone help? Is it just me? Thanks!
@@MarineX when was that? Me too. Just fired off a couple emails to 2 of their managers I found their emails on LinkedIn of some site after searching for a while. So we will see what happens .
For 50 bucks you can make a higher quality little kit that far exceeds what’s in this thing😑These pre made things are usually rip offs when you break down the price

I agree. I've diy plenty of these kits. This is value
Great looking survival kit
A squirt inside that kit when it comes! Welly yes! Yes we would love to have a video on that too!
Absolutely!
Do you think it would be a good kit to keep in the car for when we have to evacuate because of hurricanes?
Yes but it would need buffing up
looks like a great pocket kit to go along with a main kit. plus what brand is the pocket wallet you showed in your vid please.

this is like complaining that a meal at a restaurant costs more than if you bought the ingredients at a grocery store..
What’s that knife in your wallet
