I find these kits low quality survival gear, so where do I start.
The bottle didn't come with a carrier, the moment want to use the bottle all that gear hast to go somewhere so lets assume you are carrying it in a backpack or wearing pants with cargo pockets your ok. If you keep it in your car remove the candle, tea light candles melt @ 120 degrees F. and will be almost impossible to get out of the bottle. Beats having nothing and I could make use of every thing it comes with.
I would include a fire steel and wet tinder. maybe swap of to a metal or aluminum bottle so you could boil your water in it to make it safe to drink.i carry a 3 light head band and 1 set of extra batteries that way both hands are free
I guess I should change that. :P Use the bottle for water. I think most of what you have in the bottle should fit in a small or medium sized MOLLE pouch. That would take up less space. Water containers shouldn't be used to hold non-fluid items, generally, because there is a risk of residue or even toxins being left in the container from various items. Unless you want a survival kit in a rugged waterproof hard case (Pelican, Otter Box, etc..), I'd go with a MOLLE pouch. Hard walls are bulky.
I have that same kit. I use the water bottle a lot, and it's not that bad. I took the space blanket, though and put it in my EDC kit.

@DRAGON102292 Ya I took some of the stuff that had value like the matches, candle and tissue and put them in my pack.

I'd figure a way to wrap some 550 para around the outside. That'd help protect from impacts, as well as provide some good lashing material if needed.
