I bought this kit because it sounded like it was complete and then some. I hope I never need it but I bought it to replace a previous kit for my car as I do a lot of travel. I needed a couple band aids for my young son recently and found that my old kit was soaked in some kind of liquid destroying most of the contents. This kit is portable, has items in it that usually aren't included in other kits (small compass for example in case you are not in an urban environment). It is packed with different emergency supplies. It even comes with a blanket. Unlike most kits they thought of a lot of useful functions. It's in a easily carry case with handles and could even pack it in a suitcase if necessary. I would have dumped previous kits everywhere. This one is so compact it is just slightly too big to put in my glove box, so size makes a difference. If you are in the market, make a comparison. I think you will be impressed with this kit as well.
