The deck of cards I guess I could understand as giving you something to kill time with.

The contents list includes "1 pair of Chop Sticks". Have I missed something somewhere? Why would you put chop sticks in a survival kit?

To poke people who can't use chop sticks, as part of the laugh and mock ritual?

I could see how that could be more fun than a deck of cards.

Of course, you could use the chop sticks to eat with. Chop sticks and oatmeal would sure motivate you to get out of there.

Is there some other use that I am missing?

So you can practice catching flies like Danial-San in "The Karate Kid".

From this you get many things:
1. It takes your mind off your dire situation
2. Protein if you actually catch a fly
3. Quiet time to ponder the wonderful 80s
3. A renewed sense of mastery over the situation because "Man who catch fly with chopsticks accomplish anything".

Maybe not...

Splint for your finger?
I suppose you could shave em down for tinder
Friction fire by bamboo anyone?
REALLY crappy tent stakes
Ok i'll stop now.

The kit could be made in China, as is almost everything. If you're a Chinese person, putting in chopsticks would be as ordinary as us including a spoon.

As it happens, yes I would. I had a very interesting relationship with a Chinese girl. Watching a native use them makes you realise just how sophisticated a tool they are.

Please, Jim, please tell me you aren't thinking of getting this guy.

I know that knife. They sell it at my favorite hardware store out of a candy jar for 99 cents each. The other contents make me just as nervous.

Nope, but I was just doing some 'survival-surfing' and stumbled on it. Thought you would find it interesting.
