I had the issue with this kit that the Gerber represantive had a hard time putting things back together and even had a hard time getting into the part of the fire starter where you store the fire tinder.

If the person who is suposed to play and fidget with these devices all day is having a hard time operating them, how can they be usefull to the person who is under stress and cold and miserable. The key to all survival gear is that it can be used when you are cold, wet, miserable, ect..

Good ideas.. but bad followthrough, and for the record I am actualy a fan of Gerbers gear.
