Not a deal but a cool new product and would make great gifts. I'm not sure if there are any coupons going on right now. However, as the wise latin gas station sage told Sarah Connor at the end of Terminator 1...."storm's coming"
Good Deal?

Why? They don't manufacture it-they buy from the same guys that sell to premium brands. Unless it plugs into the wall, it's safe to buy from Harbor Freight.

"Flint" fire starters always crack me up. They are fun to play with yes, but in any REAL potential survival situation, just carry a few extra bic (or mini bic) lighters, and/or matches. If the knife is of decent quality this isn't a bad set to add stuff to.

The main benefit for flints (specifically magnesium flints) is they work in windy weather. Matches and lighters are going to be a tougher deal to work with.

I would also always recommend matches in a "emergency" kit over a lighter. No reason to have a lighter in a situation where it could leak out fuel (age) or explode (hot car) before you need it.

I like how 4 or 5 of the tools allows you to open a bottle of beer, a true survivalist.

Really bad advice, bic lighters are prone to failure, leaks and don't work when wet! A good ferro rod with magnesium bar will get a fire started in the wettest conditions. magnesium shavings spark easily and burn hot enough to dry out then ignite whatever main fuel you are using! Matches are ok but I have used an enite book of matches to get one cigarette lit back when I used to smoke. Nothing beats a ferro rod with magnesium bar for an emergency fire starting kit!
Flint and tinder needs char cloth, fire pistons also need good dry char cloth, lighters fail, cotton balls covered with vaseline work well but take up a lot of space and you can only carry so many. Boe drills need very dry base to work, nope ferro rod 100%

If you bought each item individually on amazon, this kit is a much better deal. That said, this kit targets a very specific scenario of 'survive alone in the wilderness for over a week.' For most people a portable usb charger and first aid kit is plenty.

If finding yourself lost in the wilderness is a credible concern, you should check out survival courses where you're taught basic fire building, foraging, shelter building, navigating. From there you'll find tools more appropriate to your specific situation.

Harbor freight buys straight off of the assembly line, unlike the premium brands that order the extra quality checks and requires products to meet spec. Harbor freight skips all of that and passes the savings on to you Stick Out Tongue Also the odds of getting a bad product from a bad run is passed onto you.
When and if you are ever in an emergency situation you want your emergency kit to be there to save the day not fail on you when you need it most! Personally
I would never buy a premade survival kit I always buy quality components that I know will last. Name brand knifes, first aid components ETC not premade as corners are always cut. When you need to cut some firewood and that emergency knife in that kit has it's blade snap off and stab you that kit just added to your issues not help solve them!
I mean if you never ever get more tham a mile from a Starbucks then chances are this is just a display survival kit so go for it1

I just don't see a situation where I would need any of the items. I don't care who sells it. If I'm ever in a situation where I need this pack, God help me.
