I bought this kit originally because I was putting together a bug-out bag, and this kit seemed prudent when I ran across it. I like the first aid supply layout, especially with all the pockets labeled. I was hoping to avoid buying a lot of unnecessary supplies for my bag, and the inclusion of the survival tools (knife, chain saw, multi-tool) seemed good for the price. The knife feels sturdy enough, although the multi-tool is really small (like keychain sized). There's also a little penlight included that needs a AAA-battery (not included) if you really want to make this kit ready-ready.

All in all, I don't have any complaints about this kit. It's nice and compact, and the zipper for the case feels sturdy. It's for my bug-out bag, so I (hopefully) won't be putting it through its paces anytime soon. For the medical supplies alone, I feel pretty good with it for my 72-hr bag setup. As for the other gear, well, I'd rather have it in a pinch than not. I might mix and match some stuff out the kit in the future if it'll fit and if I find the time. Still, I feel better off now than before with no setup ready.

Es un buen producto. Pensé q era de 12 pulgadas el bolso. Pero es de 8 pulgadas de largo.

I usually don't do reviews, but I had to comment on what a great product the Surviveware First Aid Kit is. It is really well thought out and organized, and the items in the kit are of very decent quality. I haven't seen a comparable kit like this on the market; most kits have sub-par products put together without much attention to detail. I really appreciate how Surviveware labels and organizes the compartments. The paracord bracelet and very bright LED penlight are nice touches. The paracord bracelet has a built in whistle, a small blade and fire steel that snap into the buckle. How cool is that?? The titanium folding knife is also impressive for a "kit" knife; the blade and handle seem well made and sturdy. The blade is impressively sharp out of the box.

Other nice touch's are EMT shears, aluminum alloy whistle, metal tweezers, and CPR kit. Also, biodegradable wipes... I can't tell you how many times I wished I had something to wash my hands and face when I don't have a water source nearby. Again.... well thought out. Most "survival" kits don't come close to this kind of detail.

I am CERT volunteer, military veteran, and was a Boy Scout and Scout Adult Leader; I have used and tested many different products related to camping, hiking, preparedness, and emergency supplies, I am really impressed by this kit and the Surviveware product line.

My kit came with a greeting card inside and code to get a bonus complimentary tactical pen. What impressed me most was the personal email from the Surviveware owner to follow up and to let me know they shipped it. Surviveware is a small business and I always support small business whenever I can... in my book this is a win win.... an awesome well made product, with great customer service and supporting small business!!

Update: Third return was the charm! I'd give the product 5 stars but the hassle and worry about whether we'd have a functioning kit in time for our trip was super annoying.

I've ordered and returned this kit twice now. The first time, it was missing both the multitool and knife. Amazon said there was no way to request just the missing items from the seller so we arranged an exchange for the same kit. The replacement kit came missing a knife. I'm trying one last time before our trip because I love how well-made and compact this kit is -- with terrific organized and labeled compartments. Crossing my fingers and hoping the third time is a charm.

I am giving this kit 5 stars because it seems good all around, but honestly I haven't used it and hope I never have to. The kit is well-constructed with everything clearly labeled. It included a card with some additional information and a way to obtain a free first aid guide which arrived quickly (and is a physical guide so I can keep it with the kit). I looked at a lot of other packs on here and had concluded that it would be cheaper and better to build my own kit. I was wrong. Putting together a kit with everything that this kit has on Amazon was going to be more expensive. Yeah, maybe I would have ended up with more bandages and more ponchos, but would I have ended up with a kit that I can fit in a tiny storage compartment in my truck? No.

As for materials, it seems like they are of decent quality. It seems hard to balance quantity with size and weight, but I think this kit is nice and compact for how much it offers. I also like that this kit is FSA/HSA eligible and was able to use my HSA to purchase it, that made it an even better deal.
