Outdoor survival kit

The kit I made isn't a pocket model, but fits on my belt, or pack or by itself in the car. I'm always adding a subtracting from it, so some items change but the basic idea is the same).

1. A used magazine pouch. I use an old 3clip/20rd type, with hook/loop attachment.

2. A medium sized old prescription bottles. They are plastic, see-through, and are handy for drinking. Usually I have 3 inside with the basic ( i.e.-lighter, tinder, meds, small AA flashlight, fish-line, needle/thread, 7ft of wire and the same of 550 cord.

3. Sturdy pocket knife.

4. A zip lock with 4 packs of coffee/cocoa/tea/instant cream, and 4 bullion cubes and a large piece of tin foil.

Any way that's the basic, and I do carry it quite a bit, and I do change the other items when I plan on going out longer or the weather dictates.
