A Fremkit is effectively a desert survival kit. The Fremkit is a pack devised by the Fremen for servival in the open desert. With proper techniques, one can survive for weeks with this kit. Paul and Jessica used one when they were cast out of Arakeen. They were able to stay alive in the desert before they met Stilgar in his sietch. Since there is mention of such confidential matters as the riding of sandworms and the uses of melange in both food and manufacture, it was obviously not supposed to be shared to outsiders.

abstract	A Fremkit is effectively a desert survival kit. The Fremkit is a pack devised by the Fremen for servival in the open desert. With proper techniques, one can survive for weeks with this kit. Paul and Jessica used one when they were cast out of Arakeen. They were able to stay alive in the desert before they met Stilgar in his sietch. The term "Fremkit" was understood to be applied to any and all materials earned by most Fremen when outside the sietch but in reality it seems likely that it was an "earned" specific grouping of practical items, by most Fremen males. There is a hypothesis that the Fremkit and Instruction manual were presented, together, to Fremen youth at some point along their transition toward adulthood, perhaps as a rite of passage (see: wali); some passages in the manual indeed suggest that the Fremkit may had symbolic/ceremonial significance. Since there is mention of such confidential matters as the riding of sandworms and the uses of melange in both food and manufacture, it was obviously not supposed to be shared to outsiders.
