Anybody who has done much traveling into the backcountry, or just wants to be prepared in case of natural disaster, medical emergency, or inclement weather has put together a few survival items and tossed them in the car or cabin. Either that or you've always meant to.

Although you have the best of intentions, usually when problems arise people find the few things they tossed in their bag to be severely lacking in some essential pieces of gear.

We at Blue Line Gear have put together a few different packs that we believe contain everything you need to sustain yourself effortlessly for several days... even weeks without help. Even if you're not trained extensively in outdoors survival, the contents of any of these kits will allow you to make due in almost any situation long enough for you to find help.

From the start what we didn't want was some CPC (Cheap Plastic Crap) in a bottle labeled "survival kit" like you find at the local surplus shop. We spent considerable time and effort evaluating different components of these kits and we're confident that you will find any of the kits a good value packed with life-saving equipment. Each kit contains essential items like a quality First Aid Kit from Adventure Medical Kits, Pocket Survival Kit, Sure Fire Light (with spare bulb and batteries), Emergency blanket, Zipfizz Energy Drink, and water reservoir.

The Extreme pack even contains other provisions including an emergency stove, cup to boil and collect water in, and even great tasting individual Mountain House Freeze Dried food packs.

Each kit is packed in a high quality Eagle bag or backpack. The idea behind a difference in packs is that some packs just fit their respective kits, and others will be a little more compact or offer extra room for your own additions.
