I'd say so. I may just look into that. I've got alot of it, but wouldn't be a bad thing to have a bag already done up for that cheap. Although I'm sure the quality of the goods is gonna be pretty low grade.

It's hard to tell This thing is $125 directly from the manufacturer and $85 on Amazon.

 

[hotfarmboy1]

Oh, well in that case it may be one heck of a deal! I may look into that more tomorrow

Wait a tick. This thing retails for 199 and this site is selling for 19.99? Never even heard of this site, is it legit? It looks pretty compact. At the very least it provides the bags to put your own stuff into. Might make a good car bag.

 

[Mr Bike Head]

I think I will order few and see.

I've ordered from this sight before without issues. I received my item within 2 weeks.

Well the only problem with waiting until tomorrow is that the sale ends at midnight and you'll have to purchase it elsewhere for at least $50 more. I just did a little poking around and some people haven't had a lot of luck with this site. You're not going to hurt my feelings if you choose not to order

Just seems to good to be true to me.

Then again if someone has nothing at all this would be a step in the right direction of creating a BOB and prepping in general.

I ordered two, I guess we will see. My wifey thinks I am too worried about stuff like this but we all know better. Some of the stuff I will take out as it will likely be unusable or will be for things she need not be doing. Like shutting off gas lines, not that she can't but we don't have gas at our house and I would prefer she not intervene in someone else's personal problems... the only way it is acceptable if it immediately dangers her and the kids.

 

[Beau]

I ordered two as well. Hoped I did not just get ripped off. Don't expect the stuff to be top of the line but I would like to be able to say it was money well spent.

 

[hotfarmboy1]

Its now sold out. I'm not surprised. Maybe I should of ordered one sooner. But oh well, I have most of the stuff already anyways, just need to bag it all up, lol.

Expect a couple weeks on shipping. Your not getting it tomorrow for that cheap. Let us know on the quality and if they would be worth the MSRP once you get them.

Anymore ya can't buy a backpack for $20, let alone half the stuff in it.

 

[Beau]

Got mine today. I'd say the money was worth it. I like the set up of the bags. There is also room to add more to customize. Thanks lawrra for posting the link.

 

[indysafe317]

I got scammed from this site once. Hopefully your luck is better

I put a link below from consumer affairs. I got scammed bad from this company. I hope you guys have better luck. Please post if you do. Maybe they have turned things around.

You're welcome, sir.

And to indysafe, I've ordered from them once without an issue. I've read all the horror stories about them, but if a price does seem too good to be true I would look elsewhere.

Seriously people you think this is a "good" kit??? this list has almost none of the items you would need in a real emergency... unless you cut your finger waiting for the man to show up.....

 

[lawrra]

Simmer down there turbo. It's a START not the only things you need.
