Considering you get two of these in a pack, I think the value is more than fair, especially as they do everything listed here. The compass isn't anything fancy, just a basic plastic clip on compass, but it points North (which is really all I want in a compass) and having it be detachable is an extra bonus.

The whistle works well, but you have to make sure to purse your lips correctly and it needs a good strong blow. I was really impressed with the fire starter, while it took a few seconds to get the hang of the motion, I could clearly see sparks (as shown in the video) and it's a really clever design to have it be part of the buckle so it doesn't get in the way.

My only complaint about this bracelet is very minor, it's a little on the small side. While I was able to put it on my wrist and turn it easily, it was quite tight on my husband's larger wrists and I even pinched his skin when trying to fasten it. I would consider him to have large wrists, but not huge, so absolutely make sure you measure if you feel you have large wrists and make sure this will fit you!

Overall, just an amazing value for a handy, useful tool that comes in an easy to wear way, perfect for campers or hikers.
