survival kit completed

[Steffen]

my survival kit is finally completed.
and it have been so much fun, putting it together that i will now make a tiny survival kit(slightly larger a pack of 20 cigarettes).

knife (Ontario SP-1)
6 body lengths paracord
12 body lengths thread
sharpening stone
compass
2 needles

water bottle
something to cook in
6 snares
100m fishing line
fishing kit: hooks, flies, lead weights and a wooden thing that floats
tarp

matches
firesteel
candle
lighter
10 bags with kerosene in solid form

disinfecting wipes
bandages
something that supposedly will stop bleeding
tweezer
safety pins

zip-lock bags are your friends!

a norrøna kongsvoll hip pack that was bought solely to keep this kit in.
turns out i won't be using it after all.



comments are welcome, and especially ideas for making this kit smaller.

Nice little setup!

I'd add sume puritabs for water safety and probably go for a 1litre bottle (as thats what a puritab disinfects).

I'm with British Red i'd also add a mirror for signalling and one of those emergency space blanket things other than that though a wicked set-up mate!

I'd go with all the above and ditch the groundsheet for a poncho instead. Dual role and far lighter.

nice little set up, given me an idea to get a hip pack to put gear in, can wear it or have on my pack!

thanks for sharing!

that particular hipback is good when you have it on you.
but i find that it take up to much volume for a pack to just throw in your backpack.

yeah it looks a little big for my liking, i've been looking at this one by snugpak

Shop around tho', you'll find it cheaper elsewhere.

Good fun things to make up! I'm doing a full kit based on a Maxpedition Sabrecat copy (like a big Snugpak response pak!). Nearly sorted, watch this space...

What about modding a PLCE sidepouch?

Modify it so it would have a waistbelt like the response pack or similar and with a yoke / shoulder strap then you could use it as a small back pack or zip it on a rucksack. Still quite bulky and with the attendant problems but with more volume to put stores in.
