      My uncle owns a fireworks store and orders them all from China , he goes to China every five years or so !
      Point being they send different things over with the fireworks including things like this ! There's not a single named brand in there , seriously this is the size of a child's backpack! I can't say I know the exact price of this one but it's definitely under $100 dollars! I've seen ones that are sold for $250 and that's with a mark up , also the quality was much better than what was in this one ! Had more items and was 2 weeks of food or week for 2 people! Now understandable not everyone can get these deals, but still for $250 you could get one that's way more and much better quality! I know things from China are cheap but they also have different qualities, I'm pretty sure the ones for $250 my uncle gets if they fall in line with the fireworks it's a little under 1/3 the price then markup ! How much even at Walmart would this cost?

It's market rebranding, there's many companies that sell the same items items with whatever logo or name you want on it! There's no overhead and they even ship it out for free ! They charge a very small percentage, an that's not even from you finale price !you can have this same package piece for piece or change the items around and make it much better taking a smaller cut ! There's a thousand % markup on every item!

    one thing i appreciate about your vids is that you have a reasonable take, whereas others feel the need to either be hyper critical or overly gushy, its nice to see a level headed take and that really came in when discussing the price, for some its too much, for others its fine.
    the actual kitbashing whilst always fun, really was cool in this one, the additions really took this bag to a premium level, also completely agree about how name brand tools would have gone a long way to justifying price.
    and final comment, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A BREAKDOWN OF YOUR BUG OUT BAG.

    Hey Eric - Really outstanding video so thanks. When I initially saw the length of the video I thought, Oh hell no; however, your very thorough unbundling of the kit’s products and the accompanying commentary was well worth my time. Your analysis at the end was spot on in terms of the intended market. For the non-prepper person a bug-out kit is a essentially insurance you hope never to use. The careful organization of this kit and the accompanying instructions make this kit viable for such a person in a stressful situation. As a retired military veteran I certainly appreciate the value of preparedness and I do have a very carefully personal curated kit that I update and review every new year. For me, after your review, the reason I WILL actually buy this kit is as gifts my adult daughters as a peace of mind for them (and me frankly). I know how busy (and complacent) individuals can be so - with some appropriate additions and substitutions by me - this is an expensive but well-organized kit for them as casual urban user.

    You can source a similar bag and all its content for probably $100 online. The price is truly ridiculous but the survival elements take the cake. It looks like it was put together for people who watch post apocalyptic Hollywood movies and computer games and then think that these are somehow based on actual reality.

    I like the pack. Never really thought about looking for a drybag pack until now, and they're readily available.
    For what's inside: The Beanies look decent, and I'm impressed with the Sawyer water Filtration system considering a lot of what is in there is just branded Chinese products. Everything else was either mildly interesting choices, or somewhat interesting items. The Datrex Rations were a nice touch.

  • @frost8077

    I thought I would be unimpressed because of other pre-assembled bags I've seen, but it does look well assembled. The backpack itself is wonderfully organized and labeled, while being enclosed in a fine water-proof shell, and then it's not stuffed with a bunch of gimmick gear. I could also see some more items to be thrown in, but it's not a bad starting point, aside from the high price.

    I love the concept and the organization of the kit along with the fact it is relatively lightweight. I am not necessarily impressed with the branded items inside especially at the price point. They definitely should have included a pair of the thicker mylar style sleeping bags and a compass for navigation, a more complete first aid kit and water purification tabs. The bag and organization are great but feel a bit let down for that price point.

    Pretty cool set up. I didn't read through all the comments, so maybe it was already said, but I would add some food to the inside of that water bottle. Some oatmeal packets, maybe a bag of rice and bouillon cubes, and a couple plastic spoons. I do think that if you strap some more hot gear to the outside of the main pack, the inner pack with shoulder straps is for the second person to carry, and what's strapped to the outside of the main pack, can then be thrown inside it, since this is a TWO man kit. Keep up the great work.

    If I may add:
    Swap or supplement the immoidium for medical charcoal like Norit. It will also help if you accidentally drink or eat something toxic which isn't all that improbable in a survival scenario.
    I'm not sure if I missed it, but you might add a small bottle of high percentage alcohol to disinfect. If all goes well and you add a drinkable alcohol you can use it as a moral boost ;)

      True, you can buy activated charcoal from an aquarium shop or even make it yourself. The medical one is of a certain quality that suited for the occasion. But when you have no alternatives it's not a bad idea to try the others. Wouldn't even be a last ditch effort, just less dose controlled and effective.

    to do so. For the price they are charging, if they didn't brand EVERYTHING, they could have put quality gear in the Kit

    I started typing a big comment about my opinion on this, what I was surprised was missing, and what I would add, but honestly you said and did all that I wanted in your review and kitbashing after showing everything. I'll still say that for this price I'm still floored that there was only chinese-made tools (that's where branding everything in their name comes in handy, it covers for it if you don't look closer) no compass, no whistle and overall nothing in the signalization department besides 2 glow sticks and how the water and food was lacking a bit.
    Also, something I haven't seen in your "kit bashing" nor in other pre-made kits but I see as quite important: In this day and age, a smartphone and/or electronics in general are some of the most useful tool you can have (on top of the rest ofc), and a survival away from home / get home situation may happen in an urban or at least "peripheral" environment, not just the "lost in the woods with no reception anyway" scenario. (Phones can still be useful without signal anyway). I know solar chargers are still heavy, very slow and a bit weather-dependent, so less than ideal, but why not include at least one *energy bank* ? Right now they're already pretty inexpensive, come in shapes and sizes that are easy to pack: flat and rectangular or tube-like. They can stock more than a full charge and make your device operational again in a few minutes after the first few percents have been repleted. It's definitely something I'd add to most kits nowadays.
