mddubs, I admittedly suggested a few items you already had: safety pins, needles/thread, fish hooks, first aid kit
Looks like there was plenty that was shot down without understanding.
Because I...
mddubs, I believe this is the post Sarge was making reference to...
You kinda shot down my suggestions for additions to your survival kit, without knowing the purpose of the items listed. I would...
maybe he is still searching for answers...I doubt many people know what cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly are used for in the wild. I know I didn't, till I came here.
yeah, he pointed that out, I just didn't see it when taking a glance at the pic
and for that, we thank you oh so much, Sarge :D
(edited to include that I count myself among the newbies since I have been here less than a month and have so much to learn)
Is the internet large enough to encompass this topic???
*shrugs* sorry, mddubs, I tried....might I suggest the little "search" option located at the top of the screen
lipstick, anyone?
why? because we carry everything (including the kitchen sink) in our purse, of course
that, and because we women tend to depend on our big strong men to take care of us, rather than fending for...
ok http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/popeilfamilystore_2033_46749061 :P

At first glance:

Safety pins
Cotton balls soaked in vaseline

Candle
Needles/thread
Fish hooks
Flash light or photon light
*jumps up and down with hand raised in true Horshack fashion* ME! ME! PICK ME!!!
Suggestion: before trying to suture in the wild, you may want to try butterfly sutures and superglue first. Otherwise, you might stitch in an infection.
After seeing your post, I am kind curious how you became so efficient in survival. Here's a link to the introduction forum http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=14 , I am sure...
Since I can't see the link you posted, here's some of what has already been brought up on this forum regarding survival kits and knives (I added in books too):
Survival kits...
uhhhhh NO. After clicking on a link in this forum, I was sent to one of those conspiracy theory sites and was quite happy to return here unscathed. thank you very much.
lmao okay okay excuse me....the knives TOPIC....happy now?
