That... is impressive. But sadly not that surprising.
I heard Joe Rogan (not a frequent listener, but figure he deserves credit) say this once, paraphrased: Look at a 7-11 counter full of cheap pocket knives, $1 lighters, flashlights, and other stupid items. There comes a time in many peoples' lives that they would trade their entire wealth for access to a single one of those tools in a time of dire need.
Spend a few hundred dollars, pack it away, and hope you wasted your money. It's the best possible outcome. But should you need anything in the kit, that $300-500 you spent will have the highest return on investment on anything you bought in your lifetime, even if you were an early adopter of Bitcoin or Google.
Yes it does. So many people travel without the basics.
I remember reading some years back about a couple being found dead of thirst in the Sahara desert, in to which they went on a day trip... without bringing water.
