After an extensive search and analysis, I purchased 3 of these in early December for Christmas presents (and for me since mine was really old) and I thought they were an excellent deal and arrived quickly. The pack and first aid supplies are worth the price for me. And, I must add that I am VERY difficult to please customer. (One of the packs did not come with a triangular bandage, but I won't drop the rating for that oversight). I did add some things as noted below (all available on Amazon). I know there are more expensive kits with some of these items. However, I had most of the extra items already or wanted a different kind than provided, and I wanted to be picky with specific brands, etc., (for example, I like a green tube tent to blend in the forest and other kits come with an orange or silver tent). So, this kit was the best value overall. I love it! It is truly like some of the upper $80 kits. I made the adjustments below to make this bag my Every Day Carry (EDC) bag that I keep in my vehicle and goes everywhere with me. It also serves as a major portion of my 72 hour emergency bag or bug out bag. I don't have any cons for this since it is a great kit for the price.
