Absolutely love hearing how folks are customizing their kits. ChamomileCraze, you’re spot-on about squeezing in those little jars and extras—there’s just some comfort in having your own remedies on hand. Haven’t tried a folding saw, but I’ve fit a roll of medical tape and a small jar of calendula salve with no trouble. The pouch holds up

That’s exactly my impression too—the first aid side of these kits usually feels a bit light, almost like an afterthought. Tossing in a few extra rolls of gauze, better bandages, and some ointment makes a world of difference, especially for folks who like to be thorough. The tactical pen is actually a clever touch though, more versatile than I expected. Has anyone swapped out the flashlight for a sturdier one, or does the included one hold up well?
Adding pepper spray is smart, as long as your state or city allows it—laws can get tricky. Self-defense is a huge part of real preparedness, especially if you’re camping on your own or with kids. Kits like this Vioview one usually focus more on treating injuries or basic survival, but the peace of mind from something like pepper spray goes a long way, too. Don’t forget to check the expiration date if you stash one!

That’s a pretty solid discount, but I’m curious about how “well-stocked” this kit really is. Sometimes these all-in-one kits have more novelty than substance—like, does it include quality bandages and proper wound care or just a handful of basics? I do like that there’s a fishing toolset tossed in, though. If anyone’s used this kit in the field, would love to know if it holds up to real use rather than just ticking boxes on a checklist.
Compactness is a huge plus, especially when you don’t want to lug a whole pharmacy with you on a nature walk. That tactical pen seems sturdy enough for breaking glass or even just jotting down notes if your phone’s dead—multi-use is always a win. As for pepper spray, definitely worth double-checking if it’s allowed; laws can be finicky and nobody wants a fine on top of an emergency. I agree, PrepperLinda65, a full inventory list is non-negotiable for me. I tried digging around and could only find mentions of bandages, trauma shears, a tourniquet, and basics like tweezers and
Adding more bandages, antiseptics, and an emergency blanket is exactly what I’d do—there’s no such thing as too much for basic care. I haven’t seen a handbook inside the kit, though, which is a real missed opportunity for newbies. Even just a laminated card with quick tips would make a world of difference in a stressful moment. Anyone here tried writing their own to tuck in there?
That’s impressive the pouch holds up even when stuffed with extras! Ever notice the zipper getting sticky if you really cram things in, or does it seem reliable over time?
Honestly, getting real user feedback beats any glossy manufacturer list, PrepperLinda65. I’m always curious how these kits hold up after a few uses—does the zipper snag, do the bandages stick, or does the “tool” turn out to be glorified keychain junk? Would love to know if the flashlight is actually bright enough for a night out
Love that folks are squeezing in extras like seed packets and salves—makes it so much more versatile. Anyone find the zipper starts to struggle if you overpack?
Being able to add your own favorites—like ChamomileCraze’s herbal salves or a batch of extra bandages—might just be what bumps the Vioview kit from “good” to “really useful.” That Molle pouch sounds sturdier than most, which I appreciate because I’ve had my fair share of floppy, cheap-feeling packs that unravel at the seams the second you overpack. I stash a few packets of heirloom seeds and sometimes even a tiny bottle of tincture in mine, and it’s held up.
I’d echo what others mentioned about the first-aid basics not being super robust. It covers the

A sturdy pouch with flexible compartments is a real game changer, especially when you like to keep things organized but still need quick access. I’ve found that extra space is perfect for customizing—those little radios, an extra packet of seeds, or even a small flashlight can fit if you don’t go overboard. My experience with Molle pouches is they handle bulk better than most, but the moment you add too much, it gets clunky and not so “grab-and-go” anymore. Still, having that room lets you round things out beyond just the basics they include and
A sturdy zipper really can make or break a kit, especially when you start adding your own extras. Nature’s remedies definitely have a spot in my pouch too—dried calendula goes everywhere with me. I’ve noticed that once you start bulking it up with personal supplies, you do need to double-check it’ll close up fast in a pinch. Anyone else found a clever way to organize
Hearing about the pouch holding up to extra gear is encouraging—nothing worse than a busted zipper right when you need your supplies! Over the years, I’ve learned most prefab kits are a decent start, but there’s always something missing or not quite enough of the essentials. In my experience, you can never have too many bandages, antiseptic wipes, or a compact CPR shield. I always tuck in tweezers and some medical tape as well, just out of habit from my nursing days.
The tactical pen is a clever addition—good for self-defense and practical uses. I’d be curious if anyone’s tested the glass-breaker tip in a real scenario (hopefully not in an actual emergency). And that Molle setup is useful if you want to attach it to a bag or belt. I do wonder, though, how easy is it to access the items

Totally agree about stuffing extra herbal salves in there—I always add arnica and calendula ointments. Curious, has anyone squeezed in a small bottle of rescue remedy or essential oils?
If that pouch can take a small radio plus some extra batteries without splitting at the seams, I’m sold. Anybody actually tried squeezing a Baofeng in there?
Entirely agree about the importance of a reliable kit, especially one that covers different types of emergencies. I like that you pointed out it’s got variety, even if it’s not perfect—no kit truly is, but having something that covers the basics for first aid and survival gives you a good starting point. In my experience, though, it’s always worth checking exactly what’s inside before relying on it too much. Some “all-in-one” kits bulk up the item count with things like bandages and fishing lines that aren’t super useful unless you know how to use them.
For those who value self-defense, it’d be nice to see what’s actually included: is there pepper spray, a whistle, or just the standard tiny folding knife? If you’re into sustainable living, like you mentioned, it might also be smart to swap out any single-use plastics for reusable versions. I’m always adding things like a small sewing kit or a real flashlight with extra batteries—something that’ll actually last. Peace of mind really does come from knowing exactly what you’re carrying and how to use it, rather than just picking up whatever’s on sale.
The discussion around customizing these kits hits home for me. No matter how “expert-designed” a kit is, I always end up tucking in a few personal must-haves—extra bandages, a tiny bar of homemade soap, and a couple packets of heirloom veggie seeds (never hurts to tuck in a little hope, right?). Vioview’s sturdy Molle pouch sounds promising if it really can handle being stuffed to the gills like that. Not every zipper’s up to the challenge once you’ve packed it good!
