When a person opens the kit and looks at the contents and the organizational system, how does it look? Does it appear as if someone grabbed random items and threw them into a bag or is everything clearly marked and organized with contents that are easy to find. This provides a psychological advantage. Moreover, it will inspire confidence in the user if the kit is presented as being well thought out. Whereas, even if a kit contains top-quality components, where's the confidence if it gives the impression that someone grabbed items off of an REI shelf and dropped them into a backpack?


Remember the topic of our discussion. You claimed that you can come up with something better by shopping at REI. For it to be better, it has to be at least as good as the SEVENTY2 in every aspect.


Would revealing your hand, proverbially speaking, make things worse for you? For the sake of discussion, it does. How bad is the injury? Is someone losing a lot of blood? If yes, the injury takes priority. If no, seek seclusion while still injured.


Let's stick to the subject. You claimed that you could come up with something better than the SEVENTY2.


I already addressed that in my previous post. "With what I have, the branding on the outside is not noticeable until you shine a light on it. The solution addresses conflicting problems. Grey or dull colors help a person to blend in but is in danger at night if they are unseen by motorists. Bright colors or reflective materials provide safety at night but draw unwanted attention during the day. Including reflective material that is the same color as the pack but can reflect light is the most well-balanced solution that I've seen yet."
