That’s one thing with these kits. You should be already carrying a gun, a knife and a flashlight on your person. That would free up some space in the kit for other stuff. The best time to figure out how you’re actually going to be carrying that stuff is before the emergency happens. I don’t know anyone who advocates suitcase carry, but then maybe it’ll be the next new thing. Maybe cops will dispense with the duty belts in favor of the little suitcase, and self defense trainers will be advocating The Way of the Little Suitcase, because the last place you want your gun, knife or flashlight, etc. in a true emergency is on your belt or in a pocket.
Is the point of websites like uncrate to get trust fund hipsters to spend ungodly amounts of money on fancy versions (or sometimes normal version) of things you can buy elsewhere for a LOT less money?
For $1500 I can get a new Glock 19 with two mags full, that comes in a plastic box that can also hold the knife, paracord, Zippo, flashlight and batteries. And refund you $500 while still making a nice profit.
Oh hellz, I EDC better than any of that stuff as a matter of routine. SHTF, when I grab the go vest/pack, I can eat/drink/cook for 3 days, save probably 90% of lives, sleep comfortably, communicate, navigate, see in the dark, repair probably 90% of machines, what the heck ever. Damn yuppies.

That price! They are proud of that “kit”.

No holster for the pistol or sheath for the knife? So you have to carry everything around in your little suitcase?

I’d love to see the sales numbers on these kits.
Then I’d probably just feel sad.

Forget the gun the knife is designed as a deep concealment defense knife why not something more utility oriented?
