MPI Outdoors "You Can Survive" Compact-Outdoor Survival Stove and Supplements

While the idea is clever, it is like the manufacturer went to a restaurant supply store and/or to an inexpensive local market and purchased in bulk: cheap tea bags, sugar packets, single bouillon cubes, bulk candy, etc. After that the manufacturer then put one or two of these, along with a very flimsy cook stand inside the can, and then had it sealed shut ... Our suggestion? Go buy something like a Sierra Club cup, put in some of YOUR favorite teas, or single coffees, candy you like, plus some waterproof matches and a small cook stand or grid. (We would also add a small 2 inch single blade Swiss Knife as well as to tie a whistle with a string onto the handle.) ... Stack all your chosen tea, coffee, candy, etc into your cup, pack them in tightly but carefully, and then wrap & seal your cup with some of that press-n-wrap stuff ... When you are finished you will then have what you want as well as you will know the quantities as well as the freshness of everything you put in there.

I am glad I opened this now rather than later...there was only one heating tablet and one sugar pack not sure why they say that it has fuel tablets and sugar packets when they have one...I guess I cant complain too much you get what you pay for...its not a bad start

This product allows you to boil (and thereby sterilise) at least a small amount of water and make yourself a warming drink in the direst circumstances and could well make the difference between the rescuers finding you alive or finding your dead body. It is eminently packable and inexpensive a really good idea to be carried in your hiking rucksack.

Had a dear friend who moved back to the West Coast- wasn't sure what to get them as a going away gift- this was perfect as they were making the drive solo. Laughed and laughed some more at the whole idea of everything that was in the can.Would definitely buy more!

Everyone in my family who is driving is getting a Survival Can for the Holidays! I keep one at work, at home and in the car.

This is a good camping gear my husband likes it a lot it is just like you described. Thank You

Still havn't had to use it yet. I bought this product for my bug-out/camping backpack in case of an emergency.

This kit consists of a small stove, with fuel tabs and matches, some beverages (tea, vit c drink, broth) and a few hard candies. It's pretty nicely sealed in a can.This is not a survival kit at all. The matches are just Ok, altho the fuel tabs are good tinder. Its main purpose is to supplement a regular kit, so you can stop, make a cuppa, and stop panicking. Actually, that is a good survival tip- when you are lost- STOP, make a cup of tea, whatever, and think for a bit before running off in a panic.The problem is- as a supplement to a main kit- is that it's a tad bulky for what you get. It is too bulky for even a cargo pocket, so it'd have to be in a bag or pack. If you supplemented this with a good knife, a magnesium fire starter and one of those Heatshield bivvies, it'd be OK.
