the NRA's online store has a great deal going on a prepackaged survival kit. Take a look:
NRA Survival Kit


Just passing on a hopefully helpful link.

That thing is a deal, if you look at the components.
If that is a Pelican case (hard to tell from the pic), that is almost worth the $10 by itself, not to mention the Blastmatch, Jetscream, mirror, etc.
Thanks for the heads up!

More infomation on the kit can be found here. It's not a Pelican brand case. A quick Froogle search shows that the Blastmatch itself retails for about $16.

It looks like Ultimate Survival also offers the case separately. It retails for $13.99 on the Ultimate Survival web site . The specifications for the case appear to be:
* Weight: 3.2 oz. (90g)
* Dimensions: 4 3/8" x 2 7/8" x 1 3/8"
* Plastic: Fiberglass reinforced ABS
* Hinge and Latch Pins: Stainless steel
* Foam: Thermoformable poly-urethane

It looked like a pretty good deal to me. I ordered two.

DennistheMenace:

If you can get the NRA kit on sale for $10.00 complete, why would you order just the case from someone else for $13.99 each?

the same reason if a rodent has a skinny tail its a rat but if its got a fluffy tail its a squirrel....sometimes people just dont make sense.

My take was that he is stressing the deal at $10, if the case alone costs $14 separately.
My 2 cents. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

After re-reading my previous post about the cost of the case I realize it doesn't quite convey the message I intended. Ooops!

JoeBob, you are correct. What I intended to point out was that Ultimate Survival lists the price of the empty case at $13.99 without any additional tools It makes the $10 price for the kit at the NRA store look that much better.

What I should have written is: I ordered two...... $10 survival kits from the NRA store.

By the way, I took another look at the NRAand Ultimate Survival web sites. It looks like Ultimate Survival sells the same basic kit (without NRA labeling) for $49.99 ($69.99 with the Sabercut chain saw which is not included in the NRA kit). I think an 80% discount is a fairly good deal.
