These guys put a LOT of thought into these kits. Not saying I wouldnt (or didnt) do it differently, but they independently came to a lot of gear choices I made. Ever try to crib a heavy object off a broken leg, then treat the patient? I have. Comfortable, lightly insulated, waterproof gloves are the answer. (Even HD nitrile gloves break if you wear them inside work gloves, and they SWEAT.) Cushioned, ventillated, antifog eyewear you can compress in a pack, that wont break? Yep. Quality multitool (*wonder if theirs has a lifetime replacement part warranty?). Butane fails in cold and at altitude, so matches are nice. Add some petroleum jelly to that cotton and put it in a tiny ziploc bag so the matches dont get slippery. The waterproof bag is very well done, but the pack straps need work. AFTER ALL THAT, WHY DO I WANT YOU TO GET THIS KIT? Two reasons: 1) its the best I have ever seen, & 2) Just once I'd like to save someone's butt using their own supplies!

I was putting together my own bag. Yes, it can be done but buying one item from one place, other items from other sites was taking forever. Then I saw a YouTube video on this item. This back has everything I was looking to get in one outstanding pack. I am very pleased with it. The quality on all the items is amazing. My favorite item is the knife. I was surprised on it's weight and sharpness. I have to admit I punctured my finger on the tip of the knife and it bleed for a while. (But a knife doesn't truly belong to you until you get your blood on it. LOL)
