The first three times I tried it, I was able to get During the fourth time, a metal rod struck me in the side of the face as the wheel broke off.

Some of my expectations were exceeded, however, and I was not impressed with the configuration of the device. The knife, lights, and whistle all needed to be rotated 180 degrees. is to use it this way so that you can put it in and take it out without having to rely on the Slider button. There should be no knob to be fiddled with in a bug-out situation, because when you are in a bug-out situation you just want to slide out. You don't want to be worrying about jostling the In other words, the little knob on the light button that slides out to get the knife light and whistle out could and should be removed completely from the design. There is nothing bad to say about this fire Striker. We would like you to have the Flint lighter to go with it. As far as the compass button is concerned, it is included. Additionally, the compass is accurate to within a degree. It slides into and out, actuating with a click. It comes with a wristlet item and other items inside, including a fire tender, a fire extinguisher, and a few other things, along with a piece of paper that lists some life-saving techniques and tools. I really like how detailed it is. As a bonus, the unit comes with a functioning signal mirror that allows you to see what you are doing as you operate it. It can also be used to light a fire. I found this to be very lightweight and fits conveniently in my hand. I happen to like it as well. This will be used by me, but I will have to modify it so that I can work it the other way. By doing so, I don't have to continually use my thumb to open the compartment to get the whistle combo A better item than the Phoenix to get is this. It is also a little difficult to use Phoenix, because you cannot remove the compartment that holds the Tinder or use the screwdriver on the knife mechanism. Be very careful when ordering each of these items.

This kit seems perfect for someone with no survival experience, which is why I think it is so As of yet, I haven't used it (and I hope I never will!). In spite of that, though I live in an earthquake zone, I thought I should get something for my This seems to cover all the bases for surviving in the short term. A great feature that I really like is the guide it comes with. Having read the article you find it to be well-written, easy to understand and assumes no previous experience. There is not much room in the glove compartment for this item.

I do not think the product is worth what you pay for. The items are cheap My wife purchased this for me because it was saved in my cart to be purchased The needles, hooks, and fishing line had to be replaced, so instead of wasting space I tossed them in my bag for You will not be able to keep the reflector While the light works well, I am sure that the batteries will be dead before I actually need to use it, and it will be a hassle The product is made in China as well. It will not hold up to heavy use, so be sure the blade will not last long. Based on the fact that you get what you pay for, I would give it 4 stars if it were priced at $15 dollars. As much as possible, try to buy American products.

Even though it's not the best of the best, it does have some good points, such as the fact that the box itself is fairly well made and actually weighs a little. The gear it holds isn't going to save your life in anything but a very casual situation. It looks like a bar of soap and isn't much bigger than that. Therefore, don't count on it to keep you alive in a zombie outbreak or anything like that. Although the tools aren't the most important thing in your bug out bag, they are handy nonetheless. A knife is not a bad item to have- it may be used to score a piece of wood or to cut a line on something. Attempting to cut with this tool will cause the handle to break or the blade to twist, causing you to get cut. You shouldn't attempt to wrench the thing, it is not made to handle It also contains a few cotton swabs for starting a fire and a small bit of foil for catching the fire. The mirror is useful, but not the best.

This is all good to have, just not the best. It has a hole in the center with a small guide showing you how to use it as a signaling device. There is a compass there. I have no idea where to begin. The compass is shaped like a button with a liquid filled center, attached with two pieces of plastic so it fits nicely in I can say that it will ROUGHLY point you in the right direction, but I have found that it (or any other button style compasses) will cause you to head NE or NW when you were really moving north. While if you are trying to map out your course to safety with it then you should not do so. Moving short distances may not be an issue, but if you plan to move long distances then use caution. Take a compass with you and buy a good one. As a result, I am satisfied with the kit in general. My feelings about it are not positive. Even though it doesn't have enough in it to justify its weight, it is an improvement over It was fast to get the item. I have no complaints regarding the purchasing process.

My kit arrived a couple of days ago and I was surprised at how well it is made. While I have researched a lot of survival kits in the past and have almost always been satisfied with them, I have never bought them from a commercial source. The LED light on top of the knife seemed dim. I am not sure if the flashlight battery on top died, but it is powering the flashlight. It was dim as in I couldn't see anything, not even the knife, nor does it give a satisfactory reading. The compass was filled with air bubbles and its reading was also not accurate. When I tried holding the meter in my hand and placing it on regular, level surfaces, it still did not provide Although I moved the compass just about 5 inches to the left or right, the directional arrows would turn at random 180 degrees even though I did not rotate it. It became apparent on the first day that the clasp that holds the kit together had separated. Furthermore, the run channels that cause the kit to be waterproof don't align completely, since there are gaps when I close the kit before the main clasp breaks Unfortunately I am unhappy with this product. It is possible I received a defective one (a lemon), but I would not buy it again in the future and do not recommend it.

I chose it because it is very compact and could be carried in a purse. And if I were stuck, it would be better than nothing. As of right now, though, the flashlight keeps turning on and the button is falling off. The bag, aside from that, is okay to carry on a daily basis. My review of this product shows that it's a good value for the money. This brand seems to function consistently, and I believe that most of the product is of a good quality.
