We are really talking past one another.

What you will learn by buying this kit is that you will have wasted your money.
One thing I learned is that it takes money to learn. Something else I learned is don't go cheap while learning. Otherwise, I will spend more in the long run.
I don't consider that wasting money. Sure, I may think that at first after everything is said and done; in every situation, I recognized I would not have learned how to do it right any other way had I not spent the money on my education. Let me say this again, when doing something new for the first time, don't go cheap.
This assemblage lacks many critical items (map?compass?) and includes many that are ineffective (hand warmers and chem lights).
As for a compass among other things, that is the purpose of the PSP. As for a map, that is a very geographic specific item and it will change.
As for light sticks, others, besides myself, have vouched for them.
The best way to test whatever you start with is to get out an use it. Start with day hies, lengthen them and get into overnight and longer backpacking trips.
You're beginning to describe my EDC bag. I built it when I lived in Dallas when an unexpected overnighter was the norm. Sometimes I would be in a house without electricity, running water or when we drove to Malissa's house, we had neither.
For post graduate work, volunteer with a SAR unit and get first hand experience with realemergencies.
In case you forgot, I have to be medicated if I have to be in a car for more than a few miles.
End of rant, I will say no more...
What rant?
