I’d say anyone in the midwest, great lakes region or upper east coast are drooling for one of these…(not) However, living between two great lakes, I rather make up my own ‘shelter in place’ kit. After getting a nice weather proof Yukon bag off woot, it’s packed with 3 MRE’s, ermergency water packets, snow suit/boots/electric gloves (yeah!) 0 degree bag, and other items to live "off the car vs land) for a few days. Though this item may be a nice carry around to save someone in a walmart parking lot, it’s not something usable once the temps drop in the single digits or lower. Those ponchos really come in handy when t’s -10 and the wind is blowing 35+ kts. These things turn to nothing short of glass.
Our thought process was……You could spend half a day gathering all of these items and put it in a bag yourself, OR be able to get a kit like this in one click. We studied a lot of kits to pick the best items, and we feel like this is a good solution for anyone - students, parents or a great gift for that person in your life who you know will never put this kind of thing in their car… even though they should.
Anybody could put this together themselves for cheaper, but most people won’t. Not a bad selection of items. Most consumer first aid kits don’t include items for serious emergencies like trauma pads, triangle bandage, and a tourniquet. This one does.
I have a top notch medical kit, (put together myself) and road emergency kit…, road flares air horn, emergency radio, plastic maps, pepper spray, space blankets ect, etc
Weather you buy it here or make your own you should be prepared.
