Thoughts on POCKET KIT
by Larry
(Palatka, Fl)
I love the pocket ideas. It is such a great way to get people thinking. I work with a lot of young people on E preparedness.
Some suggestions that work for me:
Pen knife. Swiss Army Whistle, not that loud but works. If you happen to find the one with a tooth pick, replace the pick with large sewing needles. More on that another time.
Water storage in Gerber Seal N Go pouches. Made for Breast milk, they seal well and are sturdy. Ever tried to carry a condom full of water?
Magnifying glass that I use is a Fresnel lens from Walgreens. Same size and thickness as a credit card for less than $3. Mine lasted over three years before it got brittle and broke. The "OWL" is a better choice if you have room but it is $10.
Cord is always great to have. I use waxed non flavored dental floss. Safe for sutures, great for sewing and adequate for fishing. 100 Ft will fit on a sewing bobbin.
Trick birthday candles that don't blow out are cheap and work well. Wrap them in foil or plastic wrap so they don't melt.
Thanks for listening.
