BuysTooMuch: I ordered this prior to an adventure hike weekend and was glad I did. There were plenty of tools available to me and I used quite a few. The fire starter was nice and longer than some others I have seen which is nice. I added some beeswax coated twine fire starters and lighters but the pocket bellows REALLY made a difference in keeping the tinder lit.

I also added velcro strips to the outside to attach to my Molle Rucksack.

The wire saw was basically useless as it only worked for small branches, but they could be stepped on just as easily.

I'm glad I didn't need the emergency blanket or the signal mirror, but they are can be the difference between getting rescued or not when you need them.

Another thing I don't like is that once you open the pouch, since there are no "slots" for things, it was really hard to cram everything back in and get it closed back up. I'm sure was to reduce size, but my ocd would prefer to have a spot for everything.

Overall, a great weekend kit! Would recommend for your bugout bag.

Review: Quality is good for emergency situations. If using daily, don't expect to last for years. I have 3 of these kits, one for each bugout bag.

COMPASS: Works well. Accuracy is not "pinpoint" but again, for emergencies this will get you in the right direction. Every time I've used it, it has pointed north.

FIRE STARTER: Works well. I like that the rod is large. It makes scraping easier.

PEN: Writes well. It's also nice and heavy, something that is desirable in a glass breaker. Although I haven't tried to break any glass with it, I imagine it can't be too difficult due to its weight. It should break a car window easiliy.

BRACELET: Well constructed. I was able to get sparks out of the little ferro rod. The compass points north and the whistle is load.

WHISTLE: Very load and high pitched.

KNIFE: Light weight, sharp, and very handy with the integrated carabiner.

FLASHLIGHT: Well made. Works in every mode. Makes for a good backup light.

MULTI-TOOL CARD: Is what it is. I never use these anyway.

SCREWDRIVERS: Very small. If a screw is tight, it would be hard to get it loose. But still handy if you have items that require...

James M. Howard: This review is for each item in this kit: Knife is very sharp, of reasonable size and blade locks well, with a handy belt or pants pocket clip; space blanket is reasonable size and equal to cheap space blankets in the $2.50 range; brass compass is readable and accurate as reported by other reviewers; solitary key ring ok in a pinch; duel aluminum whistle is outstandingly loud imho; single compress is thin 2x3 inch; flashlight works well and in the dark is good, 2 brightness settings and strobe, I bought 5 identical ones on Amazon for $8 recently; key ring flashlight is handy, 1 led with button battery, not for extended use, I purchased 10 of them a year ago for $5; belt clip for key ring, etc. might be handy is you had no pocket available, can hold whistle and key ring flashlight; wallet metal multitool...never have cared for those, but could be useful with ferrorod as a striker, same as back of knife blade; bandaid..single one..not much to be said..if you need it, you got it; package with straight and phillips thumb screwdrivers...unless you got some pliers with you or a nail you will not have much success using them, unless you got very strong hands..like superman! ; single...
