Standard Emergency Survival Fishing Kit
The Best Glide ASE Standard Emergency Survival Fishing Kit provides a compact, field-ready solution for procuring food when conventional supplies are unavailable, combining proven fishing tackle, ready-to-use line, cutting tools, and instructional materials into a durable pocket-sized container. Developed with input from experienced anglers and survival professionals, it is built for survival kits, bug-out bags, emergency caches, watercraft, aircraft, and vehicle preparedness — delivering significantly more capability than basic fishing kits while remaining compact enough to carry wherever emergency gear is needed.

AVIATION SURVIVAL EQUIPMENT
Founded in 2002 because a pilot could not find decent survival gear for a Texas-to-Alaska flight — so he started stocking it himself.
Best Glide Aviation Survival Equipment began with a 35-hour flight from Houston to Fairbanks in a 1976 Cessna 172. Assembling the required survival kit for that trip meant ordering from multiple suppliers, paying shipping on each, and still coming up short — so the founder started Best Glide ASE on his return in 2002, making it one of the longest-running survival retailers still trading.
The company supplies NASA, the FBI, DEA, US Air Force, US Army, USMC, the State Department and the Civil Air Patrol, and many of its products are NATO or US Government approved. Its stated position on kits is blunt: contents are chosen because they work, not to inflate an item count on the packaging.

Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
Q: What makes the Standard kit different from the smaller Best Glide fishing kits?
A: The Standard Emergency Survival Fishing Kit is the largest of Best Glide ASE's three survival fishing kits. It includes a broader selection of hooks, jigs, bait, leaders, pre-rigged line, and instructional materials for greater versatility in emergency situations.
Q: Is this intended for recreational fishing?
A: While the components can certainly be used for general fishing, this kit is designed specifically for emergency food procurement and survival preparedness where compactness and versatility are priorities.
Q: Does the kit include a knife?
A: Yes. Unlike many survival fishing kits that include only a razor blade, this kit includes a Military Approved Derma-Safe folding utility knife for cutting line and preparing bait.
Q: Is the fishing line already rigged?
A: Yes. In addition to a 50-foot spool of 12 lb fishing line, the kit includes a 25-foot pre-rigged survival line with a hook, sinker, and bobber for rapid deployment.
Q: Is this suitable for survival kits carried in aircraft?
A: Yes. The Standard Emergency Survival Fishing Kit exceeds Alaska and Canada overflight survival fishing kit requirements, making it an excellent addition to aviation emergency equipment.
How long does shipping take?
Most in-stock orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, not counting weekends and federal holidays. Special-order, dealer-direct, custom, and LYNX Survival Systems orders can take longer. Lead times shown on product pages are estimates, not guarantees.
Typical carrier transit after that: Economy 5 to 7 business days, Expedited 2 to 3, Overnight 1. These are carrier estimates, not guarantees. Some items, such as lithium batteries, aerosols, and safety matches, may be limited to ground shipping.
Free Economy shipping on qualifying orders over $150 to the contiguous US, on eligible products. Oversized, heavy, freight, hazardous-material, dealer-direct, custom-built, and special-order items may be excluded. Oversized and freight items, such as rooftop tents, recovery equipment, and Pro Eagle products, may carry extra shipping charges. If extra charges apply, we'll let you know before the order ships.
Some items ship directly from the manufacturer or a supplier partner on their own schedule, so an order can arrive in more than one package with more than one tracking number. Full details: Shipping Policy.
What’s your return policy?
You have 30 days from receiving your order to request a return on eligible items. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com with your order number, the item, and the reason, and wait for return authorization before you ship anything back. Returns sent without authorization may be refused.

If we provide a prepaid label, its cost may be deducted from your refund. For oversized, freight, dealer-direct, and special-order items, you pay return shipping unless the item arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect. Original shipping charges aren't refunded. Some items may carry a restocking fee of up to 15%, and we'll tell you during authorization.
Some items are fulfilled by third-party suppliers and follow that supplier's return policy, so eligibility, refund timing, return shipping, and restocking fees may differ.
Approved refunds go to your original payment method. Allow up to 10 business days after approval, and your bank may take longer to post it. Full details: Return & Refund Policy.

My package arrived damaged. What now?
Inspect your order when it arrives. If anything is damaged, defective, or wrong, email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery (5 days for food and drink) with your order number, a short description, and photos of the item and the packaging.
You don't pay return shipping on items that arrived damaged or wrong, or with a verified defect. Some items fulfilled by third-party suppliers follow that supplier's policy instead. Reporting after 7 days may limit our ability to pursue a claim with the carrier, and while we may help with a carrier claim, approval is up to the carrier.
Package lost or never arrived? Contact us within 7 days of the expected delivery date. For freight deliveries, inspect the shipment before you sign and note any visible damage on the carrier's delivery receipt.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Call (562) 294-6269, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific time, or email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com. We reply within one business day.
We'd rather talk you out of a kit that doesn't fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?
Yes. Current and former U.S. military, military spouses and dependents, and first responders, including law enforcement, fire, and EMS, can save up to 10% on most of our products through GovX ID.
