Bare minimum - Pocket survival kit

[Defiant Rat]

I know this will have been asked here a lot but i was just wondering;
What would you take if your surival kit had to fit in an average trouser or jacket pocket (i.e small) and that was all you could take


(P.S just a senario so dont tell me it wouldnt happen and you take your kit everywhere!! )

£250 cash and a couple of credit cards to be honest, if younger, I'd add a couple of condoms

I reckon we could all fill a wee baccy tin with all you'd need.

What about asking what's in your pockets most days.

E.g. I've usually got a leatherman wave,sak farmer,firesteel,whistle and with that can make shelter,fire, fishing gear, probably snares if there's wire about and signals by fire or sound for rescue.

What do you think ?

Tom.

P.S. Also a 'sliver gripper' and couple of plasters.

Up until 4 weeks ago, it would have been a tough call to empty the bacci tin or keep it full of bacci.. But now I'm clean I'd happily empty out a tin and fill it with useful stuff. What useful stuff I'm not sure. Something to use as tinder and my firesteel for a start. a Pen knife some sweets and oo I really don't know, depends on how big the pockets were...


Cheers, nag.

Sorry to be party pooper but some folk can make replica keys just by looking at a key.

I'm just thinking about ID theft and security, that's all.

My wife says the same thing. But I don't have anything worth breaking in and stealing.

What length of cord/rope do you carry in that?

And do you have reinforced pockets?

I carry 7 1/2 feet of cord on that one. Another 5 feet on my car key, and an additional 12 feet on my SAK.

Nice! Planing on building something?

 

[madrussian]

[Cephas]

Para cord can be woven/plated in to lots of good stuff, belts - bracelets are the common ones, there a some foe sale on the bay but you can get instructions off the net and do your own thing.
