I am in love with this bag. In an emergency, you’d probably get by with what’s in the bag. The other stuff you’d want to add (ultralight sleeping bag, ultralight tent, respirator, clothes) are all stuff you’d want to customize anyway. Like others have said, I had to take a moment to figure out the stove. You just light a small fire in it to cook, putting it together was a little tricky. The cartons of water are the heaviest items in the bag. The life straw is a great quality item in its own, and it’s inclusion in this kit saves you a lot of money. The cookware is super nice and would also be pricey on its own.
The bag in and of itself is very high quality. Good straps and supportive chest and waist straps. It has a whistle on the chest strap, which is something I look for in any outdoor/recreational backpack. Distributes weight well and I’d easily pay $50 for the pack alone. We are going to take out bug out bags camping this summer to do a light trial to see what else we need to round it out. This kit would be perfect for backpacking too.
The bottom compartment zipper inside the bag came a little janky. Doesn’t affect the functionality of the bag so I’m gonna leave it as is. I could sew it back but it isn’t necessary. There’s also an outside pocket on the bottom so you can access the bottom compartment easily anyway. The organization is very intuitive and helpful. I’m not the most organized person, but the backpack makes it easy. It would be easy to pack it in and pack it out with little notice
The included meals are crowd favorites. I added some of my own favorite mountain house meals. I guess I could add subsistence blocks as back up, but I’m happier to have tastier options. This pack covers myself and my kiddo. We are going to figure out her bug out bag situation as well, in the event, that god forbid, we get separated. There’s enough in this pack to mostly split down the middle.
