The problem with survival kits is that most people won't carry one unless they know they need it.....who knows when you need it. I would pay a million dollars for a fireproof match, a garbage bag and an iodine tablet if I needed them. Small is great if you know how to use the kit. Get this one or make one and put it in your billfold. You can always spend a week building a better one if you know you're going into a high risk situation.
