..have you taken your kit out yet and field tested it..
not whole kit [ I didn't try to fish or hunt <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> - it's illegal here] but other items work fine

for my kit i like to use a tobacco tin its a lot less bulky and rides in my pocket better than the plastic otter case
I use otterbox because of it easy access to all items and solid lock [drawback of tobbaco tin],I know it is bulky and hard to boil water in it[ it also looks not so bad in urban environment]

are there any outdoor shops in poland were you can buy purpose made survival items?

there are military,hunting,fishing,climbing,hiking shops but I didn't see typical outdoor shop with great choice of equipment of all kind
for example there is impossible to buy otterbox [peli - yes],paracord,weatherproof paper,BCB matches,quick clot, some brands of lights ...

hard to buy magnesium,surefire,... and prices are...

survival items made in poland..

I didn't check specially for items made in Poland, survival is still novelty here [in your meaning, "PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. survival" was/is very popular here], but yes - there is some survival equipment made here [even Polish Army( which usually have trashes ) have some not bad items]
