Limitless Equipment MARK 1 Pro Survival Kit: UK MADE, pocket size, pro level contents. 40+ items

Update: We have now used the kit "In Anger" on a woodland walk, which gave him an excellent chance to "Play" with the items. so, this is as much a log of the day as it is a review. Some of the items were used badly and I allowed this happen as part of the learning process. We started off by selecting a dead tree to collect wood for the fire, the wire saw was different from the one pictured but no less functional. I added a pic with the tin for comparison and that was about as large as we took. We made 8 cuts collecting enough wood for a fire making sure there was some dry for kindling.Next on our walk was water, we pass a small lake used by local livestock and some wild animals, I was all set to use the “spare sock” with the condom when he moulded a small “container” to put the condom in out of the wire and tinfoil, the effect was ok but not great, although I was more impressed by the fact that he was thinking and engaged we added the tablet and continued on finding a good spot for the fire. He used the scalpel to scrape tinder and shave kindling, I did have a folding knife for the task, but he wanted to test the limits of the kit.It worked mostly, and I was about to talk about conserving tinder and using half of the tampon however by then he had doused the whole thing in the Vaseline and put it to a spark. You will see on the pic he left the Vaseline pot to close and this was a good lesson in putting things away when you are done. There was another lesson in keeping an eye on things when I managed to cut myself on the scalpel allowing us to test the wipe, the pad and some of the tape 😊 I also ripped my Poncho a little and the tape for the repair. I am not going to replace the poncho for now as I want to see how the tape lasts in real life.The one physiological barrier we had was getting him to drink the water from the condom he was not keen, and I decided not to push it so I gave him the water I had in my canteen and I used it. He really did not want to drink from something “designed to cover a willy”. From there we played with the whistle I hid, blew the whistle and he used the sound to find me. Incidentally the ferro rod on the whistle worked really well. We made a second fire using the last of the wood the twine from the paracord and interestingly (his suggestion from earlier) the now bloody wipe. Again, good sparks. We did not test the fishing kit as the little lake has never had any fish in it.The one bit of the kit we broke was the actual tin, we were using to make a small fire pit and he got a little excited and started digging the channel tunnel extension which effectively killed the tin. I tested one of the little chem light and it worked, as it was daylight there was little light but it was more about testing out the items. All in all a really good day and although not exhaustive, a good test of the kit in action. Next come restocking the kit and getting a new tin, I’m gonna contact the maker and purchase one as this will keep the gift as it was.As a closing note I spent £22 (ish) on this and it provided 5 hours of quality family time, if it never does anything it will have been worth it. As a bench mark we could not have spent that much time in the cinema for that amount of money.Bought as a gift for a budding bushcrafter. I know all about the build a kit from from scratch argument, however I bought this as a good starting point so that as he uses (practices mainly) the items he will think, ask and replenish. Also it made an interesting gift and best of all, it provoked a lively discussion comparing the bought kit vs my made kit which all by its self made the kit worth the money. perhaps we'll have one less sat on the bloody play station :).

TL;DR - Very well equipped survival kit at a reasonable price.OK, so I might have been a little melodramatic when I said it "Saved my life"... Neither occasion was actually life threatening, but it was EXTREMELY useful nonetheless...The first occasion, I was driving up the M5 when my windscreen washer jets on the driver side stopped working... I pulled into the services and desperately searched for a needle to unblock them with... Cue the survival kit, which had one exactly the right size to unblock them! Inconvenience bravely averted with 2 minutes of jiggling I continued on my way with fully functional washers!The second occasion, myself and some chums had successfully summited Snowdon, and returned to the car park. We tried to light the stove to prepare celebratory tea, and found our matches to be wet... Desperate for caffeine, we fished in the survival kit and found the flint and steel, which (to our surprise!) Had the stove lit in moments...The point I have been tediously working towards for the last 3 paragraphs is that while this survival kit might seem like the realm of quirky survivalists and people who dream of squeezing the liquid from elephant droppings, this is actually a useful thing to keep in your car, and worth a purchase for the kind of people who like clean windscreens and celebratory tea...

This is a fine piece of kit. Had similar items in the past over the years and often they are not very complete, or contain random mix of cheap outdoorsy stuff. This kit contains a LOAD of different items that have obviously been chosen by people who know what they re doing in a really cool package. LOVE the firecord - its got copper wire, fishing nylon and material inside (jute?) for using as tinder and making a fire in a pinch. The Led is great as its red and saves your night vision - a nice touch. In all a much higher end serious bit of kit than others I have seen, and again, a great design that my mates will be jealous of!

Pretty certain these guys have literally invented the tardis! Not only have they crammed the tin full of good quality kit, there still seems to be room left for adding my own extras. I've managed to add a lighter, plasters and cotton buds. Pretty sure I can find some further nooks n crannies and can't wait for v2 of this. The alcohol wipes and gauze were used on day 1 after I jammed my finger in a heavy metal gate hook on a day trip up Stuc Odhar.. blood everywhere, cleaned up nicely and stung like bug9ery.. off to find a replacement wipe and gauze for the bottomless tin for my next trip now!

Very compact and elegantly filled tin with lots of varied tools and useful outdoor objects. I might need to buy another one as I don't want to have to learn how to use something when I need it, but also, lots of the contents seem like they could be replaced by standard, off-the-shelf products...so really happy with this being really useful in various unforeseen scenarios and easily re-stocked.

Got this in November 2017 not a bad bit of kit I would leave out the sugar gum and bouillon and substitute with a small knife the fire steel to be honest fell apart yes it did create sparks and lit some cotton wool but fell apart afterwards the whistle part in my opinion not useful however the mini light was good not the glow sticks there fun to play with it was a good thought out kit with a few tweaks or a mk2 kit with a small knife would be very good pencil well could be used to make tinder with a pencil sharpener and the paper was used in a fire the paracord good bit of kit fishing was ok water puritabs maybe more the scalpel lose it as could easily result in loss of chunks of hand or fingers and if there was to be a mk2 kit put in a plastic waterproof container with the airtight fasteners all in all an ok kit with a few tweaks could be a excellent kit
