- PERFECT INDOORS OR OUTDOORS - EKTOS wool blankets are loom woven, ruggedly designed and finished on all sides. They get the job done equally well in the wilderness, your adventure van or the master bedroom. We've worked hard to make these blankets as soft, non-scratchy and odor free as possible (but hey - they're still made from wool - see comfort tips in the FAQ below)
- BREATHABLE WARMTH & COMFORT - If you've never slept with a wool blanket you are missing out! Wool has an almost magical ability to retain warmth, provide airflow, wick moisture, and regulate temperature - keeping you dry and comfortable while sleeping - and also making them a good year-round option. It's the opposite of that hot sticky feeling (or that cold damp feeling) you can sometimes get with synthetic insulators
- NATURAL BENEFITS - Wool is a time-tested natural insulator that can provide warmth even when it is wet. It also inherently resists static, fire and soiling. Choosing a blanket made from a natural, sustainable and renewable resource such as sheep wool is a great choice for both you and our planet
- NO DYE OR FIRE RETARDANT ADDED - Despite wool being naturally fire resistent, many blankets on the market still contain chemical flame retardants. Sleep easy knowing this blanket contains no added fire retardants or dyes
- WASHABLE WOOL - EKTOS wool blankets are easy to care for (see below for detailed care and washing recommendations). Also, these blankets have already been triple-washed during production to make them softer, more odor free, and less susceptible to shedding or shrinking - so they are ready for use as soon as you receive them

Don't know if I overlooked it or not, but keep that blanket indoors and get a wool blanket instead. Ive got this one (EKTOS 90% Wool Blanket, Grey,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FBD7XYG?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf ) and like it quite a bit.
If you break down on the side of the road, make sure everyone can see you. I bought a set of 3 reflective safety triangles and they have a weighted base. Dont forget road flares and flashlights too

Like many wool blankets this one may have a petroleum odor to it. That fades in a couple of days of airing outdoors, if the smell even bothers you. Expect this in wool.
Also, I only wash my wool by hand, never agitating it or drying it in a drier to avoid felting. If you want to wash in a machine, that's OK, just try this method.
I want you to have the best experience possible, so don't think I'm saying what I'm saying to be contrary. A lot of that stuff is gimicky and not going to serve you well in the long term. It's not worth the money.
Take the bow set, for instance. That is not going to do well for hunting. If you're in need of a bow that isn't too expensive but will be a solid piece of kit, you can check out some of the bowmakers like this one. That's a plain hickory flat bow that you can get in 45 lbs. and will take any game in North America.
Also, if you have bear spray, you don't need pepper spray. So, drop that and save 25 bucks.
I'd drop the fishing reel, too. Sure, you can fish with it, but you don't need a full blown reel setup to gather food. Plus, the more you add moving parts the more you're asking for something to break. Learn to make fishing trap baskets and snares, and just carve yourself a fishing pole from a sapling. You could do that and toss a butt load of fishing line in your kit for a fraction of the cost of that reel.
The bracelet isn't a "bad" item. It just doesn't provide much real functionality that you don't already have aside from the compass. I'd ditch it and get a better navigation compass if you really want a compass. Look for something like this.
Those ponchos are fine for short term use, but why not invest in the long term? For between 20 and 30 dollars, you can get a ripstop military poncho that will last you a long time.
I'd advise against that sleep pad for long term use. It's an air pad, and it's only a matter of time before you get more holes than you have repair material. Foam doesn't pack down as small, but it's much longer lasting. This is still my favorite, and you can get it cheaper from Varusteleka, I think. I just can't pull up Varusteleka from the computer I'm at right now. That is going to provide you with more comfort than that air mat and last you a lot longer.
The canteen kit you listed will most likely work fine. I tend to stay away from them for anything but water. It's not that they don't work. They do. I just always worry about whatever gathers in the interior seem that I can't clean out. That's why I prefer bottles over canteens. A whole bottle/stove kit can be found here, or just the bottle and cup can be bought here.
That stadium blanket you have isn't going to last you very long. You'd be much better served by a wool blanket or two. 100% wool blankets are ridiculously expensive, so don't go that route if money is tight. Look at 80/20 or 90/10 wool blankets. I like these. When you first get them, hang them up outside on a line and spray them down with a waterhose. Then just let them sit out in the sun until they dry. That gets rid of the packing smell they come with. But, one of those around you along with the Snugpak Jungle Blanket you've linked and that Finnish mat under you is going to keep you warm. With your clothes on, you're probably good down to about 20 degrees. If you wrap up that sleeping bag you linked in those blankets, you're definitely good down to zero. Maybe a lower with clothes on.
That pillow actually looks pretty nice. I've never tried it, but I'm tempted. But, if you get it, I'd suggest a waterproof stuff sack for it or always to keep it somewhere waterproof.
The water filter is good. I've used it. It's not the one I have now, but I never had a problem with it. I think that's a good choice. I wound up getting a smaller one since that one was just overkill for my uses, but I stuck with the same company.
