Some of the best pre made survival kits that I have looked at have been by Best Glide , Henry arms , and Eder knives. All I have come across a survival kit from Skinner Sights. The problem with that kit is you have to buy there Copilot take down lever action rifle.
The first three are very similar they come in a tin, they have very similar components. Now the one from Skinner Sights exclude the rifle. It comes with titan flare storm matches , 750 para cord, USA made magnesium bar , Brunton Tru-Arc compass and the Ontario Rat 7 knife. That kit comes in the take down rifle case.
Of course the Skinner sights kit includes the take down rifle in calibers from 45-70 thru. 357 magnum. For the high price of $1700.
All the kits have quality components.
I myself think these kits are lacking a few things for the price you pay for them.
The things that I don’t like about the Esee
The best glide , and the Henry kits are they come with a button compass.
In a survival situation most likely people my age with not so good eye sight won’t be able to use a button compass. So why not put a quality compass in there kits. Next thing that bothers me about the kits is the types of ferro rods there small almost to small in my opinion. They work . I would rather see a 5” inch x .5” inch ferro rod. Aside from the Esee kit the other two come with a crappy pocket knife.
Another thing none of the kits have a water filter in them.
So my next post I’m going to add somethings to these kits . And see what you guys think .
