The survival kit is great. I first checked out the knife. It was super sharp. I then checked out the light. It was a bit dim, but still satisfied. You could use the light for reading or seeing where you’re cutting. The compass is good. It’s sticking out a little out of the container so it might burst or scratch. Showed correct readings but you have to be at the right elevation, you can’t tilt it or else it will be stuck. The fire starter is good. I sparked it once at it was all good. The signal mirror at the top is good. I added some bandaids inside and an alcohol wipe just in case .

4.0 out of 5 stars Basic Kit Does the Job for Most
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2013
Verified Purchase
Depending on who you are, and for what scenarios you plan to use this, determines whether or not this kit is for you.

I write this from a perspective of an advanced backpacker with extensive military training, including various survival training. I am not a Bear Grylls nor any other type of professional survivalist. In my younger days, I loved the challenge of self-induced suck-fests. I consider myself an able enthusiast, not an expert.

I find the biggest question I faced with the SOL Origin was if it was worth the cost. Here is my opinion. For beginners, yes. For advanced folks, it is worth it as an easy toss in backup to a primary kit, maybe for the fanny pack when leaving behind the main backpack. For the seasoned outdoorsman, make your own kit and save the money.

For the average Joe, the beginner, this kit is an exceptional insurance policy. It's simple. It's basic. It will help you survive an emergency situation for a short period until help finds you. For $30 some bucks, it's cheap insurance that's easy to toss in the car and take along on a nature trip.

Why is it so valuable for this kind of person?

First, it's there. No kit is good if you don't take it with you. I wouldn't call it pocketable unless you like big things in your cargo pocket, but it is easily packable. Second, it provides the tools to overcome the biggest threats to emergency survival: regulating body temperature (fire/heat), signaling tools in order to be found, a guide to find a good water source, and tools to help find and get food. This kit doesn't do the work for you, but it assists the novice in figuring it out.

Let's break down the content.

Survival Guide: This gives you the basic fundamentals of survival. It will arm you just enough to make it to the "Get Found" stage. It will not turn you into Man vs. Wild. I do wish some of the graphics were better done with a little more explanation for the novice. The biggest value, in my opinion, is the instruction on getting water, in a generalized environment.

Fire Starter and Kindling: The fire starter relies on the same principle as the common lighter used by smokers, except that there is no fuel. You spin it just like a lighter and sparks fly. It has rubber grips to help you hold it securely. The included kindling will get a fire started, but it won't keep a fire going. Before lighting the kindling, be sure you have a collection of small, thin, dry twigs. The included kindling is designed to start a small fire. Along with your small, thin, dry twigs, you'll want another collection of small sticks that have some meat to them, but not thick like a log. After you have a good fire going with the bigger sticks, then you can burn bigger pieces of wood. As you can see, the kit gets you going, but you still have to work to get the fire.

Signal Mirror: If you've never used a signal mirror, learn. It's easy to practice in the back yard on a sunny day. In a survival situation, and in the right condition (various degrees of sunny), it is a powerful tool that can get you found from many miles away. Why a signal mirror is superior to any old reflector, is because you can aim it fairly accurately. If nothing else, it's a handy mirror while camping.

Whistle: On the opposite end of the very same fire starter, is the whistle. Anything that can extend the range with which you can be found, is valuable. When the sun isn't shining, blow the whistle. In some conditions where the sun doesn't shine, sound actually travels better and further. Blowing a whistle also takes a little less out of you than yelling. Every little bit counts in an emergency situation.

Compass: Generally speaking, it is best to stay put when lost. However, if you generally know what direction a road, trail, lake, river is, this will generally get you there. It is not a precision compass like the kind I used in the military for land navigation, but it points north and is a valuable aid. It doesn't matter how good you are, in the thickest of woods at night, everyone can get disoriented.

Knife: This is a small knife and yet will be a handy tool. It fits nicely into the bottom of the case. The blade seems sharp and has a nice curve to it for filleting and cutting. Like everything else, it is bright orange. Since the knife is pretty small, you will appreciate that it is easy to see and find. Common knife use often means setting it down at times and small knives are easy to lose in nature.

Light: The knife also incorporates a small LED light. I like this one because for being cheap, it is not a press and hold light. You can click on it and it stays on. It's not a powerful light, but it gets the job done in a pinch. It's not a flashlight, it's a small light source that's there when you need it. This light should last hours even with the small watch type battery.

Sheet: For a simple sheet, this has many uses from signaling, to gathering water, to storing things. I didn't open it up, but I don't think it's big enough to be a body blanket.

Needle/Sewing Kit: I see this more for fishing. It's not enough to help you live on the land for a month.

Wire: It's there. There are situation where it would be handy. I just don't see it as the go to item in this kit, unless your emergency becomes extended. Then, it could serve you well with a little more advanced skills.

Lanyard: In situations where you are using this kit, make sure you have the lanyard attached and in use. You don't want to lose this.

----------

I returned this kit for several reasons.

First, the plastic latch had a small break. Every time I opened it , the latch would pop off. Very annoying. While secure, it did work, so no worries about losing the seal on the watertight compartment. However, I don't want to be searching for that latch when it pops off every time.

Second, I decided to build my own kit. I know what I need and want. I know that the tools I want need to be more robust. Furthermore, I want to be able to live off the land if need be. My kit does just that. My kit also costs far, far more than this, and fills up an entire medium-sized backpack.

Third, for me, I live and breathe tactical. I wanted a kit that could serve both as an emergency survival kit that gets me by until I'm found, and for the unlikely doomsday scenario, provides the tactical means to remain out of sight and out of mind. I like things that can serve more than one function.

If you are like me, this kit is not worth the money. However, it's not to say it is a bad kit. It needs to fit the right person for the right situation, and it in that case, it is a great item.

The SOL Origin Survival Kit is one of the most well thought-out creations for useful, every day carry survival devices made. I was very happy with the kit and the thought that went into adding just the right items for the waterproof box. About palm size it has everything you need and nothing you don't. The knife is very sturdy, the compass works fine and the hard impact plastic that the box is made of is top notch. My only small complaint is that the clip that holds the Survival tips on the inside lid is a bit too powerful and makes it a pain to try and replace the paper tips. This is THE small kit to carry in your vehicle, backpack, briefcase or even your pants pocket. I bought mine through Amazon because the suggested retail price in stores was a bit more than I wanted to pay. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a good start but lacks a few things and is a little bit pricey - I definitely like it but I don't love it
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2015
Verified Purchase
I wanted to give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars but Amazon doesn't make this possible. There are some improvements that could or should be made:

1. The compass could be protected better on the bottom of the case. Consider building it into the case underneath the signal mirror so it can be better protected.
2. It's not easy to get the compass out, compared to the knife or the ignitor.
3. It would be better if it were a foil bag and not just a sheet of aluminum foil, for this price I was expecting a little bit more inside of the case.
4. It needs some bandaids and maybe an alcohol wipe.
5. Water purification tablets.
6. Add a credit card sized Fresnel lens

I really bought this because I like how the signal mirror is easily accessible - that's a smart place to put it. I also like that it's not going to rust on me and it's small enough to stick in my pocket. This is a decent kit - a bit too expensive for most people but if you make the changes I suggest and drop the price down a bit then I would feel good about recommending it to more people.

Pochi oggetti ma essenzialmente utili, piccoli quanto basta da poter stare in tasca a portata di mano. Tra i tanti che ci sono in vendita allo stesso prezzo, direi che la qualità è nettamente superiore.
Spedizione rapidissima. Imballo perfetto.
