Psychology: People are so afraid to die that they build kits to containerize these fears (both real and imagined). The anecdotal evidence/normalcy bias is that: Must be working because you are not dead yet. Survival is a losing game, eventually you will succumb to your own mortality. But these are semantics and a rose by any other name is just as beautiful: possibles pouch, cool tool collection, and Timmy's tiny tactical toolbox are equally valid names. Analysis: Looks like you have 6 of the 10 C's of survival: Cutting Combustion Cover (missing) Container (missing) Cordage Cotton Bandana (missing) Compass Candlelight Canvas Needle (missing) Cargo Tape Remedy: Consider a stainless steel lunchbox with a folding handle (search titanium lunch box to see what to look for) and a collapsible water bottle for a container that will fit that form factor. Add a clear drop cloth and a mylar blanket for a Mors Kochanski super shelter (best to set up with guylines before you need to use it). Round it out with a Bandana and a Canvas Needle and you have a proper 10 C's kit. Also, the compass is incomplete without a map. Conclusion: This kit looks to be a good starting point for a wilderness survival kit, but is wilderness survival something you are likely to encounter? Probably not, it is more likely that you will need an urban survival kit. Consider a silcock key, spare cash, a passport, encrypted usb drive with contacts, financial information and legal documents, lock pick set (where legal), and a AAA card.
