WEYLAND Ultimate Survival Kit – 11-in-1 Outdoor Gear with Survival Knife, Fire Starter, Compass, Multitool, Paracord Bracelet, & Case for Camping, Hiking, Emergency Preparedness

This is a pretty nice kit. The knife is the main attraction but there are other decent items included as well. I read other reviews before purchasing and decided to give it a try. There were many complaints about things like the flash light. I found it of decent brightness for what it is. It doesn't have any adjustments or different brightness levels but it gets the job done. The compass seems to be made of quality materials. Another complaint by others was the lack of cotton for the fire starter. I will agree with that but I always put a handful of dryer lint in a zip lock bag to go in the kit. The knife is heavy and feels sturdy. I received an email from Ryan a few days after purchase that included the pdf file of the guide. My only personal complaint would have to be about the case. It has two latches on the front and one on each side but the case flexes quite a bit making it difficult to latch properly. If it were a little thicker around the front for stability that would definitely help. I would take half a star off for that but nearly five stars.

The best survival kit! Here is why. The knife included. It is the star of this show. The knife alone is a $30 knife, I actually love this knife more than my Gerber Bear Grylls knife. The Weyland knife has a much better blade shape. The Gut Hook is very sharp and great for hunters. Not a hunter? It cuts cordage pretty easy as well. The knife is full tang (1 piece of steel) and you will not break this knife. Can hammer it through wood or chop or split. It is balanced nicely and the grip is superior it my Gerber Bear Grylls. Easy to hold and has a lot of weight to it. Everything in the kit is well thought out. The saw with the handles is highest quality makes cutting branches very easy. It has 2 whistles one on the signal mirror and one on the fire starter. The flint in the fire starter screws in and appears to be replaceable. The sparker/flint works great and has cotton to get a fire started. The flash light is very bright with a 6” beam and it feels like quality. The multi tool again has weight to it, you are not going to break it or strip it using it as a wrench or cutting device. The bracelet has a screw in pin which can be used as an anchor. And has multiple sizing. Or the pin itself has an eyelet you could use as a fishing line anchor. The compass works great and again has some quality weight to it. Not a tin compass. There is enough room in the case to add a few items you may want to add. Like additional fire starter, poncho, alcohol swabs, bandages, water filtration tablets, fishing line/rubber worm hook/bobber/anchor. The case is smooth and has 4 clamps to secure it down. This case totes very easily in a small backpack or even a purse. I keep this kit in my car and it comes in hand. This is a great kit to buy if you only use the knife and keep the kit as a bonus. It’s a great gift for any outdoorsman.

This is a good, relatively complete survival kit. The compass works well, unlike other cheap Amazon options. The saw and fire starter would work in a pinch a guess. I have a few minor gripes with the kit though. The knife did not come sharp at all. It doesn't slice through paper cleanly. Also once the knife is in the sheath, it no longer fits in the case. How are you supposed to safely store the knife inside the case after you discard the cardboard packaging? I wish the paracord bracelet had more size adjustment too. Overall this isn't meant for hardcore or repetitive use, but it can be a great gift to get someone into prepping or having as a backup kit that you set and forget.

Update: bought a replacement kit- all components are there ams the case was much better. I think I may have received a used returned kit previously. I bought this for the knife and compass. The knife is nice but compass is not in the kit! I think it was a good set otherwise. The case is garbage but wasn’t really expecting that to be of any use.

The knife is solid and seems well made. The knife alone costs $25 so for just a few more bucks you get the case, compass, flashlight, multi function card, wire saw, emergency blanket, para cord bracelet with a unique latch and signal mirror. The button on the sheath for the knife is junk tho and almost impossible to move once closed .. What else do I need to say.

I did read the reviews before purchasing but until I actually received this, it became a different story. I very much liked the knife, good weight, rubber grips and good feel. The sheath is double stitched on the blade portion, single stitch on handle portion of sheath. The flashlight is worthless, just a tin tube, little light. The wire on the 'wire saw' is flimsy. The compass has good weight, the needle is 'free floating'. The ferro rod didn't even spark at all. Lanyard on mirror is good, mirror is 2"x2" and might work. The whistles are OK, probably average but still works. Plastic case wouldn't last and you have to place knife cross-ways for it to fit. Paracord for the 'bracelet' is Medium size, I have average wrist and had to place 'connector' at last link. The 'connector' is not meant to be taken off and on, which I would have changed but otherwise is good. The emergency blanket is 130cm x 210cm so its a basic blanket The multi-purpose survival 'tool' is somewhat smaller than the average credit card. The three stars are really meant for the knife but I couldn't see keeping this kit because I would have replaced everything but the mirror and knife. Even with all this said, it wasn't an immediate discussion to return, I mean, that is a solid knife and the mirror is usable. May be this is a good 'starter kit for a young 'outdoors' person because they can buy a better case to put it in and they might love it. Hope this helps.
