okay, so here is the info. i am working on the pics as you read this, unless i have them already up, which may happen.:
i carry an emergency kit with me whenver i go out in public, as long as it is somewhere that the ingrediants will be allowed. when i go to, say, school, or washington DC sightseeing, or going on a plane, i leave most of my ingredients at home, in a bag that you hand to the
security guy at the door that you get back when you leave, or i put it into one of the stowed bags.
i generally wear a map case style shoulder bag when out and about, so
i find it convenient to carry most of the stuff in that, rather than on
my person. here are the lists:
in a felt bag that i put together(to keep things organized and easy to get to) :
-fish/snare kit(1)
-a small mirror
-nailclippers
-a spool of thin kite string
-10 gallon garbage bag wrapped in a rubber band
-a peice of synthetic mesh (5" x 6 ")
-a spool of black upholstery thread and a needle tucked into the
strands
-a baby fork
-a couple of backup slings(2)
in the little pouches that are inside the bag :
-a small multi tool knife
-a med kit(3)
on my person(in my pockets) :
-a three inch lockback drop point knife
-my two favorite slings
-my wallet, containing between $10 and $20
i put a tool kit into the bag sometimes, depending on my intentions for
the trip i am taking:
-reversible pliers(one flat nose and one needle nose)
-a biggish file(i have filed just about everything with this)
-a little file(i have filed everything else with this)
(1) i have built a little fishing/snaring kit, with three snare wires, 15 ft of thin kite string, and 4 homemade fish hooks. it is wrapped in some synthetic mesh, wich could be fashoined into a small net.
(2) two of my older slings that i don't use much anymore. split pouch and apache style, but longer.
(3) a small mint tin full of my medic kit with me when i am out and about.
-a little tube of neosporin(omitable if need be)
-some bandaids
-anti hystimene(common allergy remedy)
-nasal decongestant
-asparin/tylonol
-a card that states your medical info, allergies, etc is a good idea
the reason that i call this kit my "emergency" kit as apposed to my "survival" kit is because i would not be able to use this collection of stuff to preserve my well being if i were captured into a life or death
situation using the items contained in the kit. though i may be able to make it because i have studied extensively many guides and manuals having to do with suriving.
even though i may not be able to "survive", i will be prepared for most of the situations that i will come across.
here are the pics that i took of my gear. i think that i might have ommited some things on the list, but they are all in the pictures.
