There are a few differences between these and survival kits. These products are designed to be used by just about anyone, not just the adventurous outdoorsmen. They come with items such as food and water rations, recreational items such as playing cards, personal hygiene options such as toothbrushes and soap, and basic first aid kits. Survival kits, on the other hand, are designed for adventurous folks that may run into issues while out camping or trekking. Basically, the main difference is that these products should be stored in every house across the country, while survival kits are more for the adventurous folks that want to push the limits of where they can travel but want to tools on hand that would be able to get them out of danger.
