The main thing I like about this article is not so much picking out of your kit what I need to carry as it is that it makes me think... Being from a back ground of alot of outdoor time, I always have in mind some type of survival, no matter what I'm doing, even if its just a day for a picknic up in the park. The basic's for me would be heat food and water. Cold can get to me alot quicker than heat. I could go on but no need. Your write up here will cause alot of folks to think about it, and having a mind to think in a bad situation instead of panic is the first place to start...
PS: I also carry with me one or the other, a buck folding knife that I have had for umpteen years, (that is razor sharp) or a Marine issue Gerber (that was made of course for survival) and is a special gift from my "little" Marine brother...
