Disclaimer: I haven't watched the video yet. I'm just thinking about your observations.

A bunch of books and seedd seem like a waste of space and sweat for a short-term kit. A book to read is a good idea but 9 pounds of books? And about wild edibles? As someone else pointed out more eloquently than I could, it's not very bright to think you can depend on a book, especially in the short term. I'm a wild edibles ignoramus but I do know about twin plants in nature - an edible one looks just like a poisonous one. Imma not eatin nuttin that hasn't been shown to me by an expert!

And seeds? Really? For a short term kit? Seriously? I know actual food is heavier but it's, well, real food.

No shelter either? Or water? Or FAK? I'm not an expert but I'm not sure this guy is either.
