Review: Bug Out Bag, Singer 01511 Survival Sew Kit

Mike Kennedy is reviewing a 64-piece survival sewing kit by Singer. The kit includes a range of items that are useful for basic sewing tasks, such as scissors, tape measure, spools of thread, needles, and fabric marking pencils. It also includes a few items that may be useful in survival situations, such as a needle threader, thimble, straight pins, safety pins, and buttons.

One potential downside of the kit is that the needles and thread included may not be suitable for heavy-duty tasks, such as repairing a tarp or other camping gear. Kennedy suggests adding larger needles and heavier thread to the kit to make it more suitable for outdoor survival situations. He also suggests adding fishing line, which could be used for a variety of tasks, such as fishing or creating makeshift cordage.

In addition to these suggestions, Kennedy also mentions the inclusion of fabric glue and peel and stick tape strips in the kit. These items could be useful for temporary repairs, such as sealing a hole in a tent or attaching a patch to a piece of clothing. He also notes that the kit comes with a storage case, which could be useful for keeping all the items organized and easily accessible.

Overall, Kennedy concludes that the 64-piece survival sewing kit by Singer is a good starting point for a household sewing kit, but may need to be augmented with additional items to make it suitable for outdoor survival situations. He suggests adding larger needles, heavier thread, fishing line, and paper for notes to the kit to improve its usefulness in a survival setting.
