You could make pretty much the same arguments against the PSP, Leigh. You moved yours to a tin becuase you were out of space and wanted to add more- by your own actions you are giving it the same criticism you are tossing at the SOL.

And honestly, if you've got signals and an IQ over room temperature, most people are going to get found in under 72 hours if someone knows you missing. They don't mean it is good for seven days, they recommend it as an accessory for an activity lasting from one to seven days, due to the logic that (a) you're probably going to only get lost once, and (b) if you were planning on being out for seven days you've got clothing, water and food. The only way to read it as "you can go out seven days with only this and be OK", which is basically what you are saying, requires either gross ignorance of the English language in modern usage, a significantly low IQ, or intentionally misreading the statement.

And I know it probably isn't the first or second option in your case. And you can't defend against either of those- there is no cure stupid. And it sounds like you expect them to create a kit that is exactly that.
