Need Help With Survival Kit

[admin]

I’m trying to put together a small survival kit that I can keep in my car, but also be able to throw it in my messenger bag when I go out into the woods. I’m using a shaving bag from wallmart, which set me back a whole $5.

I’m looking for help on what to add/remove. I’m planning this kit to be a module of my core edc – which contains the usual knife, mt, and a couple lights. However, I am throwing some cheap duplicates into the case so that it can also stand alone, if it absolutely need to be. However, this would be less than ideal…. but then again, what survival situation is ideal.

Here’s what I have so far.

From left top left:

• MRE drink mix pouches
• Poncho
• Space Blanket
• Small survival guide / Morse code list I printed
• Fire fuel of some type that I picked up at the Army surplus
• Small bag of various sized bandaids
• A few chemical hand warmers
• Cotton balls & petro. jelly
• Plastic bag
• Candle
• Compass
• Emergency Survival Gear & Supply Mobile Containment Vessel (aka shaving bag)
• Light Stick with various modes and also has a 10lumen light. Rated at 200 hours
• Old School chemical glow stick
• Small led flashlight I obtained by smoking, courtesy of Marlboro
• Bottle Opener – Hoping to catch a some wild bottles while out there
• Emergency whistle – has compass & thermometer on it as well
• Lighter
• Gerber Curve
• Gerber Knife – Forget which model, but it’s made in the good ol’ USofA
• Blades from Gerber Artifact
• Paracord

Thanks for looking and helping!
