Disasters and emergencies seem to be a part of daily life today.  We can't just sit back and hope that they won't happen to us.  We have to be prepared for whatever comes our way.  These survival kits are a good way to start getting a head start on preparing for the worst.  You can't just buy a backpack full of emergency supplies and think that you are prepared for disasters and emergencies, but they will help you get out of a small tight spot.  They will also give you something to stay alive & well with until you can get your emergency disaster provisions, as discussed in "A Southerner's Guide for Family Preparations to Overcome ANY Natural Disaster or Terrorist Attack", out and organized.
