There are so many emergency kits out there, some that include medical supplies, light sticks, whistles, etc., it can be paralyzing to decide. In this price range, I personally decided I'd rather have the basics -- food, water, and a blanket for 3 days, than a fancier kit for one-day. The food and water is what expires and needs to be replaced every 5 years, so I prefer to use a modular approach - the Ark (and replace it as needed), then all other non-perishables (flashlight, medical supplies, whistle, radio, etc.) separately. At home, I always think -- oh, I'll have enough water and food, but there are many times when I might not (like when I need to go to the grocery store). So, I keep the Ark in my car as I figure my car will most likely be wherever I am - on the road or in my garage, at home. I bought a couple of Arks 5 years ago, one for myself, one as a gift. I ended up having to through it out as it expired, but it was peace of mind for 5 years. I'd say if you are procrastinating doing your emergency planning because of the cost, it's too overwhelming, or you want it to be perfect - buy one of these now and throw it in your trunk. You'll have the basic for 3 days, and you can always add to it as time or finances permit. Good luck! :)

Perhaps the Ark isn't the greatest survival kit ever put together, but putting a couple of them in the Land Rover gives me peace of mind - - - just in case.

I bought both the Ark III and the Super Ark. The Super Ark is a slight improvement over the Ark III but I would never recommend people buy either one. There are far better entry-level kits, for just a few dollars more, available from other sources.

The Ark III contains 24 oz. of water, a food bar, and a small, inexpensive emergency blanket in a Kleenex-sized cardboard box. I'll use the products in the two kits to supplement the emergency kits I subsequently purchased.

I'm surprised - and disappointed - Amazon carries these products.

Preparing a disaster kit was made easier, ordering and adding the compact ark to it. The price was one of the best for similar kits on other sites. The contents of water, emergency blanket and emergency food rations (good till 2011) fit neatly into my duffel of flashlights, personal items and tools. The only thing that could have been better is the Super Ark but I had most of the additional items in the upgrade. I will note that the additional items cost me more time and money to collect than the price of the Super Ark. (buying them indiviually things expire at different times also) Once I found how much this product fullfilled the need, I gave the ark III out as presents, to encourage others to be more prepared for the unexpected.
