All the UK reviews are very positive but go to Amazon.com and there are more critical in-depth reviews.
My view - this is a slightly expensive bit of fun. Nicely packaged, the black pouch is smart with the Bear Grylls branding, and the various trinkets and gadgets make this a nice (£30) Xmas stocking filler. As a true survival kit, it is missing some vital components (compass, water purification), and the quality of some items (cheap waterproof matches, hair-thin snare wire, xmas cracker/ 'made in china' whistle) is unacceptable. And black is not the best colour for a kit you need to find in a hurry!
The centrepiece is meant to be the Gerber clutch multitool (leatherman style folding pliers/penknife). Pliers are a handy survival tool but the knife and other tools are blunt/too small/ just poor compared to any Victorinox swiss army knife.
The fire starter has had some positive comments (I haven't tried to agree/disagree) and the inclusion of a survival blanket is good as often missed in small survival kits.
I like the waterproof pouch concept but in honesty this seems to be a marketing gimmick looking for an identity. It's not fit for purpose as a general personal emergency kit (which probably should be based primarily around a first aid kit). The contents aren't relevant for a biker (even the multitool doesn't have anything relevant except pliers). It's too small to be of any real use as a car emergency kit ((where food, water,clothes, and mobile phone are more important). And as a survival kit (even just to go hiking) I'd seriously consider building my own from scratch, or buy a classic BCB survival tin (or GO pack pouch) at half the price and including all keys items like compass and water purification tablets - just add a survival blanket and put the balance towards a Swiss Army Knife.

Amazon Verified Purchase
This kit is amazing for its compactability and comprehensiveness. It is quite unbelievable what is packed in it for its size. It is very portable and would tuck into the smallest rucksack. For anyone contemplating a walk in the hills or a climb in the mountains it is invaluable. Obviously it has been well thought out and the essentials have all been included. It is a little expensive, but if you happened to need to use any of the kit for a real emergency then it is small price to pay.

Excellent bit of kit. I have carried one of these since they came out. Light and portable and with a lot of essentials. The price is not too bad either. There is also room to customise it to suit your own needs. Overall, it's a winner.
