Throughout the years of our own personal Flight Training, we found that most survival kits proved inadequate to say the least. While legal, we found them to be far from functional.
This kit was our personal answer. After years of research, Crashkit eventually built what we feel is one of the best kits available on the market today, the kit you see before you. ‘Crashkit 4·7’ contains 334 of the most essential items needed in a survival situation. Please familiarize yourself with the full content list on the reverse of this sheet. Find out what’s in the kit, and more importantly, how to use it. There are multiple uses for each item, options limited are only by your imagination.
When it comes to survival, it is a widely held notion that the more you know, the less you need to survive. This kit contains the basics; however, there is absolutely no substitute for proper survival training. To this end, we recommend you find a qualified outdoor wilderness survival course to suit your needs, based on the intended area of travel. While we endeavor to provide the essentials to survive, the simple step of taking a proper course would equip you with the knowledge that may mean the difference between life and death. They say an ounce of preparation is worth a pound of cure. This is especially true in a situation where you don’t realize you need training until your life depends on it. This kit is an important start, but the single most important tool you have is always carried with you.. your brain. Use your head, think your way home. Analyze. Plan. Improvise.
The Basics
Our Crashkit 4-7, designed for use in typical GA light aircraft and commercial aircraft, contains the materials necessary to sustain four people for seven days in the event of a crash. The variation of items within the kit allows for multiple options for food, fire, water and shelter; for example, in addition to the Mainstay packaged food, a fishing kit and snare are also included. This kit contains 334 of the most essential items needed in a survival situation, packaged within an indestructible Pelican 1400 case. Every item included in this kit has been thoroughly tested and approved to ensure it performs flawlessly when needed, and meets or exceeds Transport Canada's Canadian Aviation Regulations to facilitate survival and rescue. We've even sharpened the Pencil for you!

Repackaging
This Crashkit is packaged in such a way that repacking items may be next to impossible once disassembled. After months of research, trial and error we have managed to successfully fit an inordinate amount of essential items into this little box. Some of these items will need to be replaced before expiration however, and we offer a repackaging service to make this easy for you. Of course, you may also try repackaging this kit yourself using replacement items ordered from us online or elsewhere.
