The Anakonda Kit by Manjia Zhao was inspired by the rugged nature of the outdoors, and of course the survival abilities of this much-feared snake.
The kit was done using natural colors such as greens and browns, to resemble the great outdoors. According to the designer, she wanted "adventurers who use [the] kit to be tough and strong in the wild, just like anacondas." There are a variety of items included in the kit to ensure one's safety when out in the open for long periods of time, including knifes, ropes and a canteen for water. If certain items are not in the kit for survival, one will just have to rely on their natural instincts to stay safe when caught in the outdoors unexpectedly.
