Ultimate Survival Deluxe Tool Kit

I have seen a million different survival kits on the market, and most of them shouldn’t be allowed to use the name survival. Anyone who has ever bought a pre-made kit online probably knows what I am talking about. How many times have you seen a kit that looked cool, only to find out that what you bought was completely useless in a real survival situation. Well that’s not the case with my newest find.

Recently, I started carrying the Deluxe Survival Kit by Ultimate Survival Technologies. While I haven’t abandoned my homemade kit, the deluxe survival kit is defiantly a great addition to my gear, and is well worth the money. It’s major selling point for me was the ability to get a fire going in just about any conditions you can imagine.

The Survival Kit includes:

  • Blast Match Fire Starter: The blast match is pretty cool. Its an all weather fire starter that generates sparks that are 3 times hotter that a regular match. It can be used with one hand and is a lot easier to use than a standard magnesium fire tool.
  • Wet Fire Tinder: This stuff can be used to start a fire even in the rain. It actually burns while floating in water.
  • Star Flash Signal Mirror: The mirror that comes with the kit is extremely durable and can be used to signal from distances of around 100 miles. The Star Flash signal mirror is used by the U.S. Air Force.
  • Jet Scream Whistle: LOUD!!!!! This whistle is extremely loud and is great for signaling or scaring the hell out of bears.
  • Saber Cut Saw: A really cool addition to a survival kit is this flexible hand chain saw. It’s great for cutting down dead trees for fire wood.

My Favorite Parts of the Kit:

  • The Blastmatch and the Wet Fire…… The wet fire is extremely useful for starting fires in the rain. And the Blastmatch really cranks out the sparks.

I was going to make a video showing how useful some of the gear in this kit is, but I found one on youtube that really shows how useful these tools are.

    I have owned two blast matches, and they are a great Idea. One thing to keep in mind however, is the tab the you push to strike the synthetic flint. It is weak, and I have broken the tab on both of the ones I owned. It is still a great product, and if it is taken care of it should hold up. I was still able to use the flint by using the old method of scraping it with a knife, its a huge flint rod, and it would last a very long time.
