Having a survival kit is no guarantee that the person will survive the situation at hand, especially if the person doesn't take the time to make sure they are familiar with the equipment and its usage.
Eh, you know where I'm going with this. The world is litigation-happy... Damages, Loss of Life, Wrongful Death, Class Action Suits... Blah, blah, yadda yadda, yaaa...
Somebody's going to say "Little Johnny" had an unreasonable expectation that he could go out into the wilderness in nothing but his Underoos and survive like he was part of the "Swiss Family Robinson" because he had a PSK with a guarantee in it.
