If you want a relatively simple, easy to pack/unpack/repack kit, this is a great starter. The 2 cardboard box/liners inside help keep the shape of the bag and provide some mild protection against simple crushing. The items included are of fairly good quality. Enough room to add some additional items (e.g., a multi-tool or swiss army knife, small roll of toilet paper, small radio, etc). This is not intended to be a full-blown survival kit, it just adds some piece of mind. This is not the type of bag you want for an extended outing, but for use in a car or office should you get stuck somewhere for a day or two, this works great.
