Outdoor survival kit

by Kenneth carlson
(Moriarty,New Mexico)

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.

What works great is
by: George

A fanny pouch works great for stoeing just about any survival content plus small bites of food like hard candy and such, and a flashlite plus extra batteries. Bottle water and any thing else that goes with a survival kit? It has a lot of room for such a small waist strap pakage.

taste
by: Dev

I am not an expert, but I have found that throwing bullion cubes, a small amount of spices, and some powdered soups in your survival kit are a good idea. It will not keep you alive, but it will make something that tastes bad might taste a little better.
