The S.A.F. Enterprises Surviv-A-Pak has some serious shortcomings in a number of critical areas and we rate it as only "mediocre." The failure to provide a tool to open the can, lack of a signal mirror, the destroyed Cyalumes and short expiration dates of some supplies in the kit we got from Sporty's was particularly disturbing, in our opinion. We cannot recommend this survival kit.
