Great product – Military 6-in-1 Outdoors Survival Mini Kit (Whistle + Compass + Magnifier + LED Flashlight + more) Reviews

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

Pros:
This was a great buy, pros were:
-Great price for what it is
-Great camo design on it
-High power LED torch, comes with batteries already installed and ready to use
-Accurate compass
-Accurate thermometer
-Good quality neck rope
-Magnifying glass is crystal clear
One trick i discovered how to do with this is that if you take the magnifying glass and mirror out together (they are the black part in the middle) then look into it, you can see a reflection of your own eye magnified. Not exactly a survival skill but awesome nontheless.
Cons:
Not many cons but if I had to name a couple they would be:
-The small plastic part connecting the neck rope is hard to reattach after undoing it.
-The mirror is too small to be much use
Other:
Comes in a sturdy box too so unlikely to be damaged in the mail.
Bottomline:
I would highly recommend buying this, for only a few dollars you can get what you wound pay $11.99 for in a camping shop.
