I don't want to judge the products from Militaria.pl too harshly, but the set shown here poses a potential risk to the user's health and life – for 2,999 PLN you get a backpack whose construction isn't suitable for longer hikes (for around 1,000 PLN you can find a truly solid mountain or military backpack that allows you to travel comfortably without fear of back pain). With the remaining money, it's worth buying a complete set of basic food and hygiene items, such as water, paper, wet wipes, sanitary pads, tampons, energy bars or canned food, even for up to 100 PLN. The elements of this set are bestseller products, but in practice, they could prove completely useless during an extended stay outdoors. For this price, you can put together a premium-class kit yourself and still have enough left for a waterproof cover for your backpack, a tent (for example, a solid two-person winter tent can be bought for about 700 PLN), a sleeping mat, and a better sleeping bag – the sleeping bag and mat included here could lead to exposure and pose the risk of hypothermia. For anyone who chooses this set, I recommend buying a folding sleeping mat and a good winter sleeping bag separately, so in case you don't have a fire or heating, you can safely survive a night outdoors. The most important things are a knife, a fire starter, and a carbon filter for water. If you plan a long trek on foot, it's best to have only a Victorinox SD penknife, a water filter, a bottle, food, basic vitamins, and medicines with you (anti-inflammatory, antibiotics, throat tablets – these are really important). Good boots are more important than most of the things in this set, and at night a warm hat can save your life. Watching a short video with advice from experienced soldiers or survivalists will save you money and really help you prepare and take care of your safety. This is certainly safer than relying on the equipment presented here. I don't want to discourage anyone, but in my opinion, this set could quickly prove insufficient in the field. All the best, and I hope none of us will have to use this set in a real crisis situation.

The backpack comes with solid equipment, although a few items are still missing. Assembling a set yourself with richer equipment is possible for about 1000 PLN less. However, for people who do not want to collect everything on their own and have a larger budget, it is a very good option.

I have been using this set for quite some time now, sometimes also while camping. Overall, it is quite a decent product, but I have a few remarks: 1. The sleeping bag does not provide enough warmth – the comfort level is just 15 degrees, so it is only suitable for really warm days. If you need to use it in winter, the sleeping bag alone will not protect you effectively from the cold. A positive is the presence of an emergency foil sleeping bag, which can help you get through colder nights. 2. There is no sleeping mat or any ground insulation, which, combined with the weak sleeping bag, makes staying outdoors in winter much more difficult. 3. The phone included in the set looks very flimsy and works even worse, but the rest of the electronic devices work well. 4. There is no proper fire starter – the one hidden in the bracelet is uncomfortable to use. The set includes long-burning matches and an electric lighter (useful, but only lights dry paper), but a good fire starter would be welcome. 5. The first aid kit is very modestly equipped. It is easy to supplement at little cost, but the pouch itself is impractical – limited access, opens only partially, and has just one compartment, making it difficult to use efficiently. 6. The backpack and module pouches themselves are solidly made. The drawback is the lack of a proper hip belt and the use of Velcro at the front instead of the MOLLE system (possibility to buy a separate panel).

Help Bag Max is the quintessence of being prepared for unforeseen circumstances. The set is comprehensive and solidly made, making it appealing to anyone who values safety while travelling. Inside, you'll find everything necessary for a crisis: a first aid kit, rescue tools, a torch, or thermal blankets. It's made from high-quality materials, which guarantees durability and reliability. Another advantage is its practicality and ease of transport – you can take the set anywhere: on a trip, excursion, or simply keep it in your car. Help Bag Max gives a sense of security and peace of mind in any situation.

I bought this set thinking of my wife, as I didn't want to assemble one from scratch myself. It has very good equipment and a logical division into modules. There was plenty of room left in the backpack for additional clothing, for example, spare clothes. The modules are planned so that they are easy and quick to access. The package the set arrived in was large, sturdy, and practical. The huge number of items is impressive. I think this product is worth buying and supplementing to your own needs. In my opinion, it works great as an expedition base.

A perfectly designed and well-made backpack. I highly recommend it to everyone – I personally bought one fully equipped and another empty one, to customise it to suit my needs.
-
This is a good option for people who want to buy a ready-made survival backpack. Although some small adjustments to your own needs will be necessary, the set is extensive and logically divided into sections. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.
