Thought this website might be of interest if you have money to spare. I've never actually worked out the cost of my BOB, but I'm sure its more than the price quoted.
Trouble is theres no brand names so there's guarentee (if thats possible) of quality. Anyway see what you think:

i'm sure those items could be purchased much cheaper if bought seperately, plus quality would be better guaranteed...there's no telling what brand of items they will pack the kit with when you buy it

hey joblot i agree with blackops,people are better off making thier own kit with quality items. the equipment in the picture are far east not so good quality items..i think maybe this kit is for people that have no real idea how to prepare or were to get started at in buying emergency equipment... vince.

Hi there
Don't worry, I have no intentions of buying one. I have spent far too much time, energy and research (not to mention some costly mistakes!) in putting my own kit together to buy the kit on the website.
I merely posted the link as a point of interest, rather than as a serious consideration. Although it does show how commercial this topic has become.
As in most aspects of life, the Romans seem to have created the best quotes to sum the situation up:
