“of course an espresso machine “
What’s wrong with an espresso machine? My Breville is awesome!
But I wouldn’t expect a SEAL to take one on a mission.

Most of those knives are made from solid billets, and are strong enough to use as crowbars.

Cash in the local currency to bribe your way out. Doubleplusgood when trapped in Chocolate City and/or Chicago

Before the whole Rambo craze, I had a guy who lived in my neighborhood who was a knife maker. His survival knife was a 10” pipe that he had heated and hammered 1/2 of the knife into a blade and then welded on a guard.
Ugly thing and heavy but it worked though.

A good knife, a full lighter, and stout clothes will get you a long way.

The Seal I knew in college in 1972 was given a knife.

Bandages can serve as mini-pads, so there’s no reason women can’t do this.

If you just stay in a safe zone, no need for the other things is there?

Good kit for off the shelf, but this is old stuff to units that operate behind the lines, and depending on the theater and season your survival kit may be more like a butt pack.
The idea is that if you have to drop your 150 pound pack to flee from the enemy, such as from hunter/killer teams looking for your team, then you still need to retain enough to live on and to survive on and to E&E with, which could be really tough in harsh winter conditions.

Scissors?? Are you serious? You are on the run in hostile territory! Didn't your mother teach you: NOT TO RUN WITH SCISSORS? ;-)

How in the world did that post come out colored red?
It wasn’t intentional. I must have hit some odd keys.

.. it's bad enough being trapped behind enemy lines -- our military must be wary nowadays on
both sides of the line! Especially after a severe blow to the enemy's ego like killing a revered leader (bin Laden) -- and the Administration 24/7 bragging about it.
A survival kit for this side of the line should include the newer MH-47s helicopter designed and outfitted for special operations, avoid the CH-47D, rated as one of the least capable Chinook helicopter variants. See SEAL Team VI Family: 'Obamas Rules Are Getting Our Warriors Killed'
Some people even wonder if perhaps those Seals and others were sacrificed in a manner reminiscent of the move "Fail Safe" where a fictional president ordered a nuclear attack on a major U.S. city to placate the Soviets and avoid MAD.
