That sounds familiar, but I wasnt willing to get something of similar price and risk bricking, the IF23 is rather excellent, the side cob light cannot be underestimated in usefullness....

it is similar to a lot of others, but each manufacturer changes the number of clicks, would be confusing to people that had different torches from different brands.... the powerbank feature is very handy, i find myself using most of the modes. even the red flashing light and magnet base is...

Its a great light, I use it everyday.....so many features

i use loads of the shorter ones for my belt stuff, nice to keep everything sperate, spreads the weight, gotta love molle

a small PSK tin for emergencies would be limited, a larger survival kit however obviously far more usefull this reminds me of several scenarios involving my kits... might have mentioend earlier in thread...while cycling across the city at uni, on way back from lecture. had small kit, think it...

Any water based activity does change things as it drastically changes both chances of losing gear underwater, and becoming wet and exposure being an issue, so an emergency kit then is vital...but not everything in a PSKtin, like Minotaur said fishing kit.

nothing wrong with carrying PSK, and often the contents are backups if main items die or go missing, main thing is generally otehr non PSK items work better, so PSK only ( ratehr than raiding a PSK) is rare in UK, as we geenrally have other kit, or wait for other people to help or throw money...

A bottle kit wont fit in a a smock/trouser pocket when you have army loadout on, a messtin kit ( as per lofty book) will fit in army issued gear the nalgene/bushpot kit, aka mors kit, is better for bushcrafters etc, because its a different role.... big thing is any type of PSK is not to be...

yes, a tobacco tin is definitely more for stealth, or so small that you wont have a problem taking anywhere, for more practical the Mors Bushpot kit , or even a trangia messtin is far more practical. a good resource is Build the Perfect Survival Kit by John McCann, goes in to details on kit...

I was about to say the same thing most people nowadays are carrying EDC, as i it not sealed, varies by person, sometimes just modern where if anything goes wrong, throw more money at, like buying cofee/extras/uber , or usefull backups/contigency like above birthday candles, that can also be...

if im using GPS i could get most of a day, which is twice as long as my motorola... i use my torch almost daily, but then phone and torch have a lot of urban use... so if you had a stricly wilderness loadout, things change i dont have good night vision, and think its stupid to risk injury...
