Nowadays, it seems like everyone and their mom is selling some sort of generic 72hr kit. All of them containing the same made in China stuff. Let's face it. If you ever have to "But Out" it will likely be for more than 72 hours. However, few people have taken survival beyond 72 hours.
Although there is no substitute to your personally gathered BOB (bug out bag), EvolveAndSurvive.com comes pretty close. They have a selection of kits that range from the typical 72 hours to 18 days! I've been looking for extreme BOB's for a while, and Evolve's 18 day "Evader" is as close as I have came.
The "Evader" kid includes the basics for water, light, heat, shelter, food, first aid and survival tools. I feel it could use some body warmers, and includes an unnecessary chair. You would also want to supplement it with some additional clothing, medicine, and personal needs depending on the person. Though, that is true with any survival kit.
Overall it is a decent attempt. I think they could do better. There are some items that I wouldn't consider high quality, but it's a pretty good kit. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.
Be Smart and Thrive
