<shrug> The solar gear in UT is much too heavy. So are the tents and the cold weather stuff. Except for the envirobag which is an insulated and heated sleeping bag good to -50 F even without power.
There are practical limits to how bad an environment you can expect untrained persons to survive in and you'd be lucky to cover even one of them within the weight limit.
An item I forgot to mention is the Holdout Gyroc. It's .25 lbs and $50 and if you load it with Flare rounds it becomes a flare gun. Only these flare rounds will fly to more than a mile overhead and illuminate like starshell. I'd think it'd be visible from orbit.
I hate to put an ammo using weapon in a UT survival kit but Gyrocs are very very versatile. You could carry several diffeeent kinds of gyroc ammo with the remaing .75 lbs (7 rounds)
