Sure there are lots of survival kits on the market, but not many of them weigh less than 6 ozs, cost under $25.00 and come with all these basic essential Emergency Survival Kits.

Compass
COMPASS - While full size compasses are no doubt better than small ones, you can't pack and carry'em so easy inside a small compact survival kit, now can you? Nope. And you know those small itty-bitty “button” compasses you see other survival kit sellers selling? Most of them the north seeking needles don't stay magnetized very long and break easy too. But the compasses that come with all my SOS Survival Kits are strong & durable and will safely get you back.
FIRE STARTER - You've heard of the magnesium fire bar, right? Well the fire starters that come with my SOS Survival Kits are called “Magnesium & Flint Fire Rods.” They're thinner, lighter, easier to use and will produce 1,000's of sparks no matter if they're wet, dirty, muddy or frozen. Can't get a spark to ignite your tinder? No problem, just scrape a few magnesium shavings from the mag side, place the flint side down near the shaving and then run your knife vigorously across the flint to produce a shower of sparks and presto – you've got FIRE!
Fire Starters
SIGNAL MIRROR -While full size signal mirrors will reflect sunlight at greater ranges, finding a place to carry & store'em without worrying about breaking'em can be a problem. And while small signal mirrors are easier to pack & carry, they are only good for short range signaling. And so by choosing a signal mirror not too big, not too small, made of acrylic plastic instead of glass from my Emergency Survival Kits, you can't go wrong. Also available a 3 piece folding mirror.
Folding Signal Mirrior
New! For a $1.50 extra, upgrade your SOS Survival Kit signal mirror from 1x2 inch to a 3x6 inch Three-Piece-Folding Signal Mirror to increase your visual signal range capabilities.
SIGNAL WHISTLE - Though there are many kinds, the worst type are metal whistles and those that come with little balls. Why? Because they freeze up and don't work very well in extreme cold weather due to your moist [mouth] saliva. And the ones that come with all my survival kits are ball-less aluminum whistles that come with a small screw on & off compartment for placing inside your ID life-line information, name, address, tel, etc.
SIGNAL WHISTLE
New! For a $1.50 extra, upgrade your SOS Survival Kit signal whistle with a “Luminous Tornado Whistle to increase your audio signal range capabilities.
Luminous Tornado Whistle
FOLDING KNIFE
FOLDING KNIFE - Well of course big knives are better than small knives, especially in a survival situation. Duh? But if you're gonna pack and carry a small compact Emergency survival kit, then it's best to carry inside of it a small compact knife too. Provided, or course it doesn't dull so easy and will keep on cutting wood, game, fish and other things you need it for. And so that's why the knives that come with all my SOS Survival Kits the blades are serrated. Meaning they're jaggered and tooth like so you don't have to worry about sharpening them all the time like straight edge knife blades
WIRE SAW
WIRE SAW Nope, this is not one of those cheapo, low quality, worthless wire saws you see others selling. It's the same type used by our US Army & Air Force Special Operations, the British SAS and other NATO/Allied Forces. It consists of 8 strands of stainless steel wire containing a hundred (+/-) tiny teeth “per inch” that will cut through wood, plastic, bone, ice and aluminum too. And the best way to use it is not by placing your fingers through the loops but by attaching some parachute cord or a piece of wood through the loops so you can grasp and hold onto it better while you are sawing.
Now if you were to buy these same or similar wilderness survival kits somewhere else I guarantee you would spend almost TWICE the amount of money. Wanna bet? Don't believe me? Ok, then shop around and see for yourself. Here's the average price that I found these same or similar items selling online: Wire Saw - $10.00, Magnesium & Flint Fire Starter - $8.00, Small Compass - $5.00, Signal Mirror - $5.00, LED Flashlight - $5.00, Serrated Folding Knife - $5.00, Aluminum Whistle - $5.00. Go ahead, add it up and see what you get, but keep in mind these prices "don't include the shipping & handling fees" a store or seller would charge you. And so if you still think you can find these same or similar products cheaper somewhere else, show me where I will let you have my survival kits at half price, 50% off. Care to accept my challenge? As Howie Mandell would say "DEAL or NO DEAL?"

And if you wanna read some interesting reviews about my wilderness survival kits, and no I'm not quoting my customers who have purchased them. But instead I'm quoting some well trained, experienced, survival & outdoor enthusiasts who have agreed to test out and evaluate some of my wilderness survival kits. Just read my article titled “Rolex Survival Kits & Products” and you'll see their reviews, check'em out!

One of several advantages my SOS Survival kits have over other survival kits is that they can be worn around the neck or attached to your belt and or placed inside your pocket. Meaning it would be kinda hard to lose or misplace should you find yourself in an unexpected situation where you had to suddenly ditch your pack, ruck or abandon your vehicle or plane. You know what I mean?

The following additional items are sold separately but only when you order them with my SOS Survival Kits!

ID Tags

SOS ID TAGS - What every person should wear or attach to their survival kit: an SOS ID Tag. Why?  Because you never know, it just might save your life or worse ... help ID your body. But if you don't want to attach it to your survival kit or wear it around your neck then simply attach it to your gun sling, ruck or other outdoor gear. And I'll  give you a choice of three different types of aluminum ID tags:

(a) Standard Military - silver, embossed engraved, 5 lines, 15 characters per line.

(b) Small Military - black, laser engraved, 3 lines, 14 characters per line.

POSTAL INSURANCE IS OPTIONAL! This means it's up to you - not me! But no postal insurance - no replacements should your order arrive damaged or not at all. But be advised rarely has anyone asked to have their order shippped via insured mail and I have only received one complaint so far. Again, it's optional, up to you - not me!

RETURN POLICY & REFUNDS: When you receive your order and if it's not what you expected or something arrived defected. Please contact me right away via email (survivalnecklace@hotmail.com) so I can try to quickly resolve the problem either by forwarding you a replacement or a refund. Do not send anything back until we have discussed what's wrong with your order. Note: No refunds will be given until the item is returned.

DELIVERY TIME: Please be patient, don't send me a nasty email asking "Hey Rick, I sent you my damn money ten days ago, where's my freakin order?" All orders are usually shipped out within 1-3 days after receiving your payment. If you fail to receive your order in less than 2-3 weeks, it's NOT because I'm sitting on your order but because the US Postal Service is taking their sweet time in delivering it to you. Trust me, almost every damn time some impatient customer sends me an email asking about their order, it usually shows up the same, next or a few days later in their mail box. And so when you finally do receive your order, check the postmark on the package to see when I mailed it. But if you're one of those impatient individual's who can't wait a few weeks for your order and you think everyone is out to screw you. Then please don't bother ordering anything from my website but instead take your damn business somewhere else! I'm not joking, this is only a part-time business for me - not full time, so please be patient. Ok?

QUESTIONS? Should you have any questions or you need to contact me for any reason, please be patient as I do not sit in front of my computer 24/7/12 waiting for email messages. And so if you don't hear from me within 24-48 hours, please don't assume I am ignoring you or I took your money and ran to Switzerland with it. Running this online store & website is only a hobby and part-time business for me, not full time. But rest assured I will try my best to get back to you within 24 hours or less unless I am away from home, extremely busy or it's a weekend/holiday which is when my computer is “off” like me. Email: Survivalnecklace@hotmail.com Snail-mail: Army Ranger Rick Tscherne, US Army Retiree Section, Unit 31401 Box 8075, APO, AE 09630

DISCLAIMER: Under no circumstances can the seller (Army Ranger Rick F. Tscherne) be held liable for any injuries, deaths, property damage and or criminal misconduct due to carelessness, improper assembly, misuse and or abuse on the part of the buyer. When you purchase my survival kits and books you are automatically agreeing to use them at your own risk and will accept full responsibility and liability for the use, transfer and or resale too. If you are not willing to accept these terms & conditions then DO NOT order my products.

WARNING: If you weigh less than 100 lbs and or you do not have full physical use of both your hands and arms my SOS Necklace "breakaway safety chain" could fail to come apart if worn on the outside of a shirt. Therefore to avoid injuries, being choked or strangled, always wear the necklace underneath the shirt and never on the outside.

NOTICE: I do NOT live in the United States, I am retired [US] military and live here in Italy. When I decided to retire and live here I liquidated, closed out and moved everything I own to here. I did this for legal and security reasons. Although Italy is now my new home and legal residence, I am still an AMERICAN and I will never give up my US citizenship.
