>>600875 guys I said it ISN'T a survival kit, it's just a bunch of stuff I carry around for an afternoon out. if i cant be bothered lugging pack full of gear and want to do a bit of rock fishing or if I find a stream
>first, a proper compass. this is the most important thing in any "survival kit".don't need it for an afternoon out, if I really 'needed' to know which was was north, I have ABC function on my wristwatch
>1 or 2 extra AAA batteriesdon't need extra batteries- that's a Fenix EO1, it has a 21 hour burn time from a single AAA battery, I'm lucky if I get through one battery a year in it.
>plastic sheet for rain coverdon't need, and impractical to carry in this context. I might get wet, big deal.
>bank line foir said rain cover and for building other stuff.there is 25m of 12lb fishing line, and another 25m of 30lb braised fishing line in the kit if I need it- why bank line ? 'muh dav canturbury'
>another lighter (bic)why? there is already one in there, and a ferro rod/magnesium bar in the kit with 4 different types of tinder (magnesium shavings, tinder quicks, esbit cubes and a live fire tin) and a flat packing stove for the esbit cubes
>fishing gear (or is that green thing a fishing kit?.) matchcase is a complete fishing kit- see pic>3 more needles (they weight nothing and you can lose one easily)why?!?! I'm not slipshod with my gear, but I may add another smaller needle
>maybe another knife, smaller in case you lose the opinel.why would I lose it? as for smaller, it's an Opinel 5, anything smaller would be pretty pointless
>lose the can-opener-spoon and that pos sharpener. they're useless in any real survival situation.the knife sharpener gets used along with the knife itself more than any other part of the kit
>>600882the can opener is gimmicky but it was a freebie, I keep meaning to swap it out for a P38 but keep forgetting
