Use it, you survive because you know how to use and carry at all times the critical items you need to survive. "Sealed" Survival Kits often degrade due to moisture and to not get checked to see what needs replacing. Also many of the most useful items (Survival Knifes etc.) not fit well it a Kit but are basic Critical Survival Items.
