Yukon Outfitters 58-Piece Survival Kit

[yukonoutfitters]

@jihiggs

the bag is a common design that has been duplicated over and over. I had one from la gear I got for 30 bucks, it is heavy material, has lots of pockets, but he seams are shit where it counts. I had about 30lb in the bag, picked it up by the shoulder strap and the main body seam split.

theres nothing in this thing that is of any half way decent quality. use your head, all that gear for 100 dollars, sounds too good to be true, because it is.

theres no filter or even those terrible tablets in this kit for purifying water, if you dont happen to find a clean source of water, you will be dead in a couple days if you rely on this kit.

a single pocket knife, while im sure is up to the task of picking your fingernails, its not up to the task of a survival knife. sure its better than your finger, it will cut some rope, could sharpen a few sticks, but thats about all. most people have kitchen knives that would be better suited to bushcraft.

if you want a survival kit that will look cool so you can show your friends how tactical you are, this is the kit for you. if you actually want something that would increase your odds of survival in a disaster, build your own. dont look to gimmick sites like yukon outfitters for gear.

JiHiggs,

That experience with the LA Gear pack sounds like one that would make most of us frustrated. We however are not LA Gear and this Alpha pack is a proven design and bag style that is rugged to the point that we have lots of customers who use it for GoRucking events.

This kit does not claim to be the ‘end of discussion’ bag that will suit everyone perfectly. It is a great place to get started for folks who want to think about that rainy day when they might need a good pack, suitable folding knife, cordage (our is true 550 paracord), shelter system- fantastic rainfly, sleep system with built in bug defense - Mosquito hammock, lighting in a pinch with our 3 mode Firefly LED and 58pc first aid kit.

There is loads of room in this for personal and geo-specific customizations that each individual may require. What’s important is that this kit is something to get started… OF course you need food and water, but where counting on customers adding that to the bag upon receipt.

We take great care in the design and make up of these kits helping thousands of satisfied customers get started in being prepared. We may be a lot of things, but a gimmick is not one of them.

Thanks for joining the discussion!
