    I think the majority of folks would assemble their own, on their slant of perceive needs/wants.

    Just shooting you straight.

    However there is a solid little niche market for sub kits. As in sub componants that make up the kit over all. Items like a "gun shot" kit. Navigation kit. Signalling kit. Trap kit.
    The sub components are sold, so that when all sub parts are combined a person has their "survival kit" assembled per their liking.

    That's nothing more than cheap marketing on your part. Throw in two hangnails and you have a deal.

    Are you trying to sell one, or just finding out if there is interest?

    I figured it was a big joke. Nobody would dare ask that question in all seriousness on this site. They'd be "re-inventing the wheel" while "preaching to the choir!"

    Doesn't it sort of depend on who the second person is? I mean, I like you guys and all but when it comes to snugglin' in a small bag I'm afraid you had better have a warm coat. Know what I mean, Vern?

    The main thing with a premade survival kit is to have some basic things that are useful no matter what scenario and no matter what location. If I were to make a survival kit for retail, it would be somethin like:

    Lighter, 100 water proof matches, and magnesium starter. (takes care of fire)
    Two water bottles with water filters and 100 iodine tablets. ( takes care of water)
    a 10'x10' tarp, 100ft of paracord, two rain ponchos and a solar blanket. (takes care of shelter)
    A simple first aid kit with bandages, medical tape, rubbing alcohol, anti-biotic ointment, and pills such as tylenol, advil ibprofin, pepto, a thing for constipation. (you can get by with this for basic medical issues until real help can be reached)
    general items such as a knife, 100 ft duct tape, small sewing kit, and enough rations for two people for a day.

    No matter what scenario or location, all these items can be very useful and possibly essential to survival.

    Would anyone buy my kit?
