Could be junk, but what are your thoughts on this kit??
It's kind of a short time thing, not sure if you all are familiar with Woot or not. I know those life-straws are like $20 bucks alone. Seems like a pretty decent kit, has a hammock, shovel, some tools, some food type things... For $150 bucks, seems like something that could be had and then augmented a bit to be a pretty good starter kit. What say you?

Good starting point, that's for sure. Better than having nothing for certain. Hammock is pretty much a throw away without zip-up bug netting or waterproof cover. High heat loss suspended too.

High heat loss suspended too.
You can limit that, but using a space blanket to reflect the bodyheat back at you. Plus you lose more body heat by sleeping on the ground, unless you can be elevated approximately 2-3"
And the word "WOOT" makes me smile slightly. The redhead medic chick from Kentucky that I was dating for a bit used to say that constantly.
