I have no doubt the speaker is very knowledgable about search and rescue and short-term survival techniques. And some useful information was conveyed. It is just a shame he was so disorganized and ill-prepared. He bounced all over the place, couldn't find anything, got way off track, and ended up failing to cover his stated subject. Although he gave some useful tips, we still don't know all the items he packs in his survival kit or how to effectively use them.
