Not a bad kit for the money - and you get two! Buy several to store in different places. Fishing gear in an emergency kit always makes me laugh. Your first priority is protection from hypothermia/exposure either by clothing, shelter or fire. Second is rescue, being found, extraction, etc. I don't think you'll do much fishing while trying to keep warm at night, and while extracting yourself or being found the next day, as is what happens in most all emergency survival situations. Fishing gear belongs in an extended stay kit or on a planned fishing trip. I know we all think about crash landing in a remote part of the world and needing to eat something after a few weeks so we better have a fish hook just in case we are near a great fishing lake and the fish are biting... not likely. I'll take a compass over a fish hook any day! Make a fish trap instead - fish swim in and they can't swim out. While the trap does its work you can prepare firewood or signal for help. Most people couldn't catch a fish with the best pole and gear anyway, never mind just a hook and some line. PLEASE Help Me Spread The Message... NO FISH HOOKS! The life you save may be your own... learn to make a fish trap. Okay, I've done my part. Good luck! Emergency Survival Kit in a Sardine Can - 2 Pack
Like stated in the product description, it contains about 25 survival items in a sardine can. The can itself is lightweight, can be tossed into any pocket of your bag without concern of damaging the contents of the can, and has a good assortment of items for nearly any situation. It may seem like pretty obvious and basic stuff, but nearly everything here has a potential use in a survival situation apart from a few "comfort items" such as the gum and tea.
The only downside is that once it's open, that's it. It can't be re-sealed. So it feels like a waste to open it for one or two items (in my case, I needed the duct tape for a quick patch job on a tent and the matches since mine got soaked in water. Basically, once the can is open, your only option is to stuff everything into the contained plastic bag, of course this makes it no longer waterproof or crush-proof. But regardless, a handy survival can to take with you out in the wilderness.
a must have for anyone that finds themselves in remote areas where help may be a long time coming. This little kit is waterproof and will save your life should you become lost in the woods while hunting, fishing, camping, hiking etc. A great idea for the car in conjunction with a good first aid kit. I highly recommend.
I originally got this as a gift for a friend. He really likes the whole concept of having an emergency survival kit in a can. For the price, it was a deal. Other places seemed to sell it for more. I paid around $25 with free shipping and handling for 2. The cans come with lots of little gadgets. It is very handy. I like the idea of having a small tool set, available to take with you at all times. For me though, since I'm more of an indoor person -at the moment- this is a novelty item. With 2012 coming soon, I think this could be a big hit as a little gag gift or nod to the Mayans. - Emergency Medicine - Camping - Backpacking - Emergency Preparedness'
