Adventure Medical Kits - S.O.L. - Survival Kit Review Part One

Rubbish survival kit

[pocco13]

lol shit out of luck

[MrLancer84]

this kit isn't that bad of a kit except that it shouldn't be as expensive. for as much as it is, it should carry a small knife and perhaps water purification tablets. I not too long ago bought one of these and added a small knife along with a tool logic credit card style survival kit, and added some strike anywhere matches. so now i have 3 ways to start a fire, a way to clean my fish if i catch any, and additional way of signaling etc.

Separated from your group.

Separated from your group.

So if you think of this as just a basic signalling kit, you won't be disappointed so much.

[adrn25m]

You have to realise, this is the more basic version of the AMK's Pocket Survival Pak and is just a signaling kit - (build 3 fires in triangle with lots of smoke, whistle, signaling mirror) with heatsheets blanket for shelter while you wait, compass to help you get found easier, duct tape to repair heatsheets blanket and fishing kit to use for shelter making or kit repair and is only intended for a few hours until rescue arrives.

This is the scout version for when you get separated from your g

s.o.l.=shit outa luck

[Gokunama]

The signal mirror being the most compact I've seen yet. The rest of that stuff is not bad, definitely needs a few additions though.

[MrJustswift]

it is a decent kit but like rooftopeagle said. there is no knife n no way to get clean water except maybe the bag it self. i would personally add my own specifics to it n remove some things. i am intending to by this though

@MrJustswift

I have this and it's a lot nicer than it looks. It also has quite a bit of extra room and I easily added a small knife.

[MrJustswift]

@xD3REKx

yes but id still suit it to myself. id use it as my kit not just a signaling kit. i have some signaling stuff incase i have to use it in an accident etc but for the most part mines a ditch kit so i wouldnt want to be found.

[rooftopeagle]

Water? Knife? I think this kit was poorly prioritized. It's missing some essentials, clean water and tools. I guess you could add a Spyderco Delica or ladybug, a 3mi trash bag, zip lock freezer bag and water purification tablets to round out the kit but I think the priorities were off kilter with this.

An example would be if you caught fish with the fishing kit (unlikely but possible) how would you gutt the fish? Furthermore the fire option could have been improved with a firesteel/flint

@rooftopeagle

We don't all live near fish / water / lakes, etc

[flapjack9999]

@rooftopeagle It has a little extra room, so you'd be able to stick a Tool Logic card knife in there.

[ShadowCompanySW]

@rooftopeagle water dude? really? ever heard of boiling your water. never once been sick after boiling my water. also if your going out somewhere that you need a survival kit with you then you damnwell better already be carrying a knife. NO excuse for going out without a knife ever i dont care who you are. you go hiking without a knife or some sort of tool say an axe or machete then your a damn fool. I dont mean you:D just saying a little brain power can solve most issues with common sense.

Adventure medical kits makes freaking awesome stuff... Their medical kits are the greatest thing I've found. Their gear repair kits are amazing too. This thing is a great product. Adventure medical kits is the only brand I go to for my needs.

[chillaxitsdylan]

the first time i saw that i saw it stood for shit ot of luck

[GearBuyersGuide]

LOL

[PacoBell]

Yeah, that's a REALLY unfortunate name for this product. Marketing department FAIL!

[GearBuyersGuide]

or was it brilliant ??

[PacoBell]

"brilliant" in the sense of "idiot-savant"? ;)

[ComradeGeneralK]

It's just a joke, survival can have a sense of humor too.

[teddyyoung26]

@GearBuyersGuide Yup, I'm gonna go with that was the point. It catches your eye or makes you wonder, but they reworded it to keep things a little more "family friendly" or "politically correct". =)

[rooftopeagle]

@PacoBell I thought it stood for "Sorry Outta Luck" LOL I thought it would feel kinda ominous carrying a kit by that name!

[loku1125]

@rooftopeagle no sol means shit outta luck

[rooftopeagle]

@loku1125 Now we're really playing semantics eh?

[pete5668]

@PacoBell I thought it was a great name.

[gibsongod123]

i did too for the longest time

[gunlover556]

@chillaxitsdylan ahh shit i was going to say that. damn your fast to the draw
