A Well-Stocked "Starter" Kit -- Needs a Few AdditionsNov 17, 2011
By Matthew E. Coenen
"Books are Nicer Than People. Usually."
Because I travel so much through the mountains of the Pacific Northwest for my job, I figured I'd better purchase some type of emergency or disaster "kit"... just in case I get stranded due to inclement weather.
After much time spent researching similar kits, I opted for the Mayday 4-Person Deluxe Emergency Backpack Kit even though I'm only one-quarter that many people. Heh. The kit shipped extremly fast and I am rather pleased with the actual product. I have, though, made a few adjustments due to how I will be using the kit -- mainly as an "emergency car" backpack I can quickly grab before my out-of-town excursions.
Below is a list of most of the items included and my initial response to each. Mind you, I'm not an outdoors or wilderness survival "expert" by any means. Just your average person who drives an average car in not-so-average weather sometimes.
Backpack: Large. Sturdy. Should last quite a while. Much better quality than I expected.
Four 2,400-calorie energy bars with a U.S. Coast Guard-approved five-year shelf life: Like yellow-wrapped bricks. I'm sure they do the job, but I took most of them out and replaced them with Clif bars and jerky.
Four solar blankets: Have never used these before but am sure they'd work in a pinch.
Four three-packs of water: Nice addition, though I supposed I could always melt the snow.
Four dust masks: Useless for me.
Four rain ponchos: Not the best quality, but they are meant to be used once/twice and disposed of.
Flashlight: Very, very cheap. So were the "Code Red" batteries. Replaced with a more heavy-duty flashlight. I did purchase some emergency candles -- surprised none were included, actually.
12-hour light stick: Just one? Glow sticks are cheap. Will end up purchasing a few more along with some flares.
54-piece first aid kit: Merely an OK basic kit. If a bear mauls me, I'm out of luck, but I suspect most anybody would be, eh?
50 water purification tablets: A nice addition.
50 waterproof, strike anywhere matches: Nice! Will use them with the candles I purchased.
Utility knife: Cheap, but surely useful.
AM/FM radio with batteries: Extremely cheap and difficult to hear.
Camp stove: Not sure why this was included, as nothing to cook WITH is present. No pot/pan/utensils/can opener/canned food. Not at all useful for me, though I could purchase additional equpiment to make it useful.
Leather work gloves: Inexpensive but will do the job.

 I am impressed!Apr 08, 2010
By Monique Assam-peters

I am a seasoned amazon shopper and I have never written a review. I have to say that I was impressed. This item was shipped to me in the Caribbean in the time frame it was given to reach to Miami. I received everything just like in the picture. I was most surprised with the backpack I received. It is an excellent quality red back pack which is even nicer than the one shown in the pic. I would advise anyone to purchase this I will be ordering 2 more very soon.

Great kit, a must have!Mar 21, 2007
By Steven L. Sorensen
I was in the emergency food storage business for several years so I'm able to evaluate the quality of this survival kit. It has virtually everything needed in an emergency situation. It is well packaged and comes in a high quality backpack. Just grab it and run. The only possible shortcoming is the volume of food and water. It would be hard for four people to get by on, but it could be done in an emergency. And after all, that's what its for. I definitely recommend this kit.

Well stocked and will be usefulOct 02, 2009
By Timothy J. Sample
"Longhair Tim"
Truthfully I ordered this to serve as an emergancy kit fot the car. After receiving it, I naturally poked around inside and I must say I was please. It was exactly as described, well stocked and ready to roll. After adding a couple minor things like a good knife. It is sett and ready to go for just about any reason. I'm looking to get a second kit when they've restocked.

great prep packageApr 25, 2011

This was exactly what I was looking for and the extras that the others didn't have such as a tent and stove were so easy to put together.
