All (many different ones for different stuff) my kits are a "work in progress".
I find my self adding stuff, usually because I didn't have it last time, then it's gets too full, or heavy, or a newer type bag shows up and away we go.
Basic kits, as well as pockets, are:
Knife, fire kit, water, first-aid, TP, compass, flashlight, rope, big garbage bags.
Next is thermos, lunch, candy.
Then anything else.
I like looking at everyone's lists, lot of thought goes into it, but I also try to see what I can pick up or improvise, so as to not have to carry it.
Ongoing nightmare would be caught in a 3 piece suit, straight from somewhere, where you wouldn't carry emergency stuff, in the winter, at nite in a blizzard.

But at least you'll look good when they find you.:)
He will as long as the suit is polyester. Nothing's too good for our man Hunter.

I have a similar system to you a lot of my kits are in bits and pieces - and I agree I try to make a single item into a multi - use item to increase my kits effectiveness. But as I learnt before sometimes it all comes down to how effective they are.

I'm planning to do 2 nights out in my garden in the summer relying only on a tarp and my survival kit. I want to make the best survival kit I can for this but want it to be compact. Anybody got a good kit list/kit. My idea is to make my own ration packs/boil in the bags and be camping out only with those things and possibly a sleeping bag ;) thanks in advance.
Sam, any kit we offer would only be right for us. You need a kit that is right for you and for the environment you'll be in. Think of what you need in the back yard for those two nights, what the weather will be like and what you plan to do those two nights. Then build your pack to meet those needs. I actually think it's a really great plan. If you need something you don't have then you are right there to get it. Make note of it so you can add it to your pack. If you find out you didn't need some items then make a determination as to whether you want to keep it or not.
We all carry some basics that are necessary for us but my packs can change on an outing by outing basis depending on where I'm going, what the weather is and what I'll be doing while I'm out. Probably not what you wanted to hear but what's right for me may not be right for you.

Thanks for that Rick. My idea is because it is unlikely I'd be able to go and spend to nights like this in the woods, I want to try it but for now in my own home. Where's the best place for me to find a sort of standard list that I can change to suit myself. What features should I base the kit around. Geographical, weather?? What do the factors change mainly in my kit. More bigger kit, smaller kit? Thanks in advance.

Sam, your IP address shows me that you live in the Uk, triangulated by the towns of Darlington, Preston, & Leeds. If you haven't already got a copy, I recommend: "The SAS Survival Handbook" by John 'Lofty' Wiseman. Also Ray Mears comes from your neck of the woods so you might go to your local library and see what you can find written by him. Remember that you need to provide for the basics: Fire, shelter, water, & food. You need to stay dry and warm. Be sure & include a poncho or rain jacket. If they have plastic trash bags where you live you can even make one out of one of those. Also, your post back on the 29th of June, my 63rd birthday, BTW, was a great start! I'm impressed on your decision to start out training close to home! Sarge salutes you! :cool2:
Sam, we have it all. Scroll down to Survival Kits.

I find that most of these lists of survival kits are just too much for me to concider to be a kit. Of course, a lot of what should be in a kit should depend upon its use (car emergency, home, backpacking), but when I think of survival kit, the basic thing I think of is what I would have in my pockets and/or a small backpack, with all other items being situational extras.
So, for me a survival kit consists of a personal first-aid kit, a fire starter, a knife, a water bottle (full), a granola bar, a length of parachute cord, and appropriate clothing, plus an extra layer in reserve. That extra layer is usually a hooded rain jacket-- light nylon in the summer, oversized heavier goretex in the other 3 seasons. In the winter I will also toss-in a couple of hand-warmer packs.
With that said, each of my vehicles has a full first-aid kit, assorted tools, a blanket, and some light rope (amazing how often that comes in handy). My children build and maintain our vehicle and home first-aid kits with my supervision, because I want them to learn these skills and know I can depend on them to follow directions in an emergency.
If I'm traveling with others, at all, I will toss a family first-aid kit in my backpack. People look at me weird when I go somewhere that I have to have my backpack checked (like a ball game) and there is a first-aid kit in there, but I know where a kit is in an emergency.
When traveling with others in the winter I pack another pair of handwarmers.
Of course, if I'm camping then a whole list of other items starts being added, but this seems to go beyond survival.
The best way to be prepaired, however, is situational awareness. For example, a fire kit does you no good if you can't identify appropriate fuel in the ecosystem you are in.

Hey there SurvivalScout! I like your take on using Survival kits. :cool: You HAVE to take the darn things out in the bush and test them out. You HAVE to practice using the stuff in those kits. Trust me, just because you have some hooks and fishing line in your kit, don't assume it's easy turning that into fresh food! Just for fun, ask some of the guys that love fishing if they catch fish all the time, even with their fancy and high-tech gear? :D Will that little pack of salt help you when you're needing nutrition? Can that dinky little Xacto blade or razor blade in there, actually do anything bush related, when you need a blade?
Everything in your kit should be tested and used by you, personally and either in there because it works or out of there because, for you it doesn't work well enough. There have been SO many advancements made in this area in the last few decades, that a person can put together a VERY powerful little Survival Kit, without breaking the bank these days. That, along with the real knowledge of how to use it, will instill a pile of confidence, even in the shyer types of survivors out there. Being positive and confident, in life, is your ace in the hole, your hidden magic, that will keep you alive where others of lesser metal would perish from depression and anguish and fear and stupidity or the cold, long before hunger took them...
Thanx for posting this SS, and for reminding all of us to get out there even more often, and practice our skills even more than before. Life is short.:( Let's do stuff we really like, more often than we did before even...:)

For my first post, I would like to have you're opinions on the compact survival tool kit that I have put together. Just to be clear that is not all im carring around its what I have on my belt. If you've tried anything below share you're experience or what you suggest instead. I also have a first aid kit which I will post soon because its a two page long list of stuff. I also always include 100' of paracord, tarp, extra socks (no cotton), my "Nam" boonie hat, fishing gloves and food rations with chlorine dioxide (aka mms) for water purification... I hate carrying gallons of water around its useless since there is a lot of streams where I live in Eastern Canada. :sweatingbullets:
http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/1777/dscf09082.jpg
It includes:
-A Gerber folding metal wood saw
-A Buck 119 420HC stainless steel hunting knife
-A Buck lite 424 420HC stainless steel folding knife (as backup... excellent to carve wood because its very light and sturdy)
-A knife sharpener stick
-Multi-tool pliers with led light, philips screwdriver and small saw and knife
-Multi-fonction whistle with led light, thermometer, Magnifying glass, mirror and compass
-Magnesium Firestarter

Have you tried your kit out? If not, take it out in the woods. Bring your regular camping stuff, but try and use just your little kit. This way you will know what works for you, and where you are lacking. You'll have all of your camping gear as a fall back in case you need it. Everybody has different skill sets, so what works for me, or somebody else here may not work for you - or visa versa. When you get a chance, drop on by the Introduction section and tell us a little about yourself. Thanks. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=14

Its only a lightweight backpack survival kit for weekends on the forest trails, I am not parachuting into northern wilderness ok lolll dont worry soo much. I bring the whislte as backup del lamp mostly not for the crappy compass dont worry I always bring topo maps of the area before I go. The fishing gloves are half rubber and half nylon for good gripping and hand protection without sweathing + they are so fit no need take them off for anything.
I've tried almost all these items except the buck 119 which I chose to replace the sog fusion I had before who failed miserably to keep sharp when clearing branches in the boreal forest. I heard the buck119 is good for a lifetime of bushcraft is that true.
I rarely bring a hatchet because its more effort and I rarely cut wood bigger than my forearm.
Any other suggestions?

I just look at a few of the items in the picture, and recognize them as items I've already discarded as useless... as a whistle/light.. cool, as long as you realize that is a P.O.S. to rely on as a compass...
Your Magnesium firestarter is a great tool to have!!! Looks like you haven't used it before tho.. at least not that one... I reccomend trying it out.. It's not too hard, but there is a little knack to it.. better to learn now then when you need it.

I have a metal cup with enamel coating but it goes with the water purification and food rations pack not in this tool kit. I group my stuff in 2 parts; readily accessible and back pack because once im geared up i dont like to take off my back pack all the time. This picture here is whats on my belt ready for access while the rest is in my back pack.
The magnesium firestarter was use only for the flint stricker, the magnesium is for extreme cases I tested it its a lifesaver when the tinder is damp in the morning.

makes me think of you a little differently.... an intro post woulda helped too.. just sayin..:innocent:

I have one of those in every pack and vehicle I own... they are great!!
If you only use it for the flint tho... there are much better products available!
You can buy just a flint stick from most outdoors stores or even dpartment stores with a sporting section. bigger piece of flint that is easier to strike and will throw more sparks.... I keep a Magnesium as backup and use a flintstick as main firestarter.... total cost is under $15.. Then, of course, there's items like the "blastmatch"... little more $, but if you cant start a fire with this.... then you wont with anything!!

I agree with NightShade, Use it.........Hell abuse it even. Eleven year old girls have nice new stuff, they save for their wedding/marriage/dowry. A "Real Man" uses his stuff, and if it breaks, great a good excuse of a new thingie. The truth is I don't know squat about survival kits. I also just throw some crap in my pocket and go.
To me the GOING is more important than the "Pretty" survival kit. I think too many people confuse Mental-Masturbating over the perfect survival, with getting there butt out in the wilderness. Oh welcome to the Forum.

I've used the saw all summer and its awesome for any wood the size of an arm or less, green or dry its always effective. the pliers i used them mostly to manipulate boiling water container but the del lamp on this this thing is unbelievable for its size and the small wood saw is a nice complement for cutting sticks.
ruffoverlord
09-19-2010, 10:13 PM
You're right the buck is too small and heavy to use as a machete on the trail but the saw is so much better as its less effort but takes more time yet leaves less of a mess behind. I prefer to conserve energy than gain a little time when clearing branches in the forest.
I used to have a swiss army knife but after trial and error I think a locking mechanisms is essentials on folding knives. Thats why I switched it for a combo pliers multitool and buck lite knife instead. I threw the swiss knife in the first aid instead.
Why don't you try posting an introduction so we know if you are 9 or 90? You can use this template to get you started.

Are you looking for input because you are missing some important items. An intro would be helpful so we know how old you are.
1. Whistle (Tornado or Storm are both good. There are other good ones out there just make certain it's pealess)
2. Mirror (StarFlash is about the best one the market)
A wool blanket and a sleeping bag are pretty darn heavy to be packing.

I think it would be much more beneficial for you if you could specify more the environment where you atleast planning to go and that way we could maybe give you more specific tips about your gear.
Truth is that there is basically same gear list in every survival book and you will be more than OK with that stuff, but it is more or less the experience that will then build the perfect toolset ... for your needs. :cowboy:
Here is my tip: Add few chemical hand warmers.

Definitely add a first aid kit, and some food of some sort. Instant soup, energy bars, quick cook pasta meals or noodles, anything to keep the energy up. Also a lighter, waterproof matches can sometimes let you down. If funds permit a good quality knife. I'm sure there's more!

I think I'd swap out one of the ponchos and one space blanket for a sheet of thick clear plastic, 10 X 12' and swap out the box cutter for a sturdy fixed blade. I'd also lose the matches and add a fire steel and some tinder. And, I'd add a basic first aid kit with a mirror, tweezers, bandaids, compresses, gauze, micropore tape, pain killers, vitamins, eye wash, anti-bacterial ointment, alcohol pads, and such.
Looks good though.

In my opinion - the most important thing to do - regardless of the size of the kit - is to take it out and try it. See if it does what you need it to do. If it does, then you have the confidence in both your kit and your abilities. If you need to adjust it a bit, then you get immediate feedback.

I recommend "The Herb Book" by John Lust
It has over 2,000 listings with over 275 line drawings. It is referenced, & cross referenced. It tells the Common Names, Medicinal Parts, Descriptions, Properties & Uses, as well as Preparation & Dosage. It starts at the basics, even explaining how to make a decoction, infusion, tincture,...
It even lists plant dyes by plant, or color. It is a must for health survival, in the field.
I feel that this is an invaluable part of anyone's kit.

• Fishing line and hook(s)
• Bear spray
• Flint
• Flashlight + Batteries
• Cotton-ball tinder into a zip-lock bag
• First Aid Kit
• Poncho
• Small axe
• Backpack
• A canoe waterproof bag (for food storage in the trees)
• Minimal food rations
• Whistle
• Wild Edible Plants/Berries (book or notes)
• {Optional?} Straps and carabiners
• {Optional?} Earplugs
• {Optional?} Condoms
• {Optional?} Knife sharpener
• {Optional?} Large garbage bag (for tree stills)
• {Optional?} Working gloves
• {Optional?} Trail flags
• {Optional?} Plastic spoon
• {Optional?} Duct tape
Too huge? Unrealistic? Unfitting? Comment.
If you could give your advice on whether or not you consider the "{Optional?}" marked items as being optional, it'd be great.
And finally, what should the First Aid Kit contain?
EDIT: I realize I used the term "Survival Kit"... that's more of a list of equipment I'd bring to "live off the land". Please base your answers on this fact. =)
Well, 1st I noticed that you listed "condoms" which was plural; then I noticed that you listed TWO people...hmmm :creepy:
Remember the 4 essentials of survival, they are...?
Next, group your items under those 4 categories.
Finally, your 1st aid kit should contain 1st aid items. For a more detailed list use the "search" function. Hope this helps. :whistling:

Well, if your knife is not field sharpenable with a smooth stone, you are gonna need a knife sharpening device.
Boiling water in your frying pan makes terrible water. A stainless steel water bottle will boil water. Frying pan is useless without some grease/lard/oil.
Why a plastic spoon? Get metal so you can cook with it.

I'll only mention three things and then let others comment.
1. Glad you have a FAK listed. Many young people think their impervious to injury
2. How about a map and compass in case you get lost or need to know the fastest route back to civilization.
3. How much is "Minimal food rations?" You're going to go through a lot of calories on your trek and if you don't have the food available, you're going mighty hungry.

1. For 20 days, it'd be really stupid. ;o
2. Humm... I'll ask my partner to have those I guess. I did not think about the "fastest route": I had in mind we'd only come back on our path. This will be taken in consideration based on the spot where we will go. Thanks. =)
3. This is meant to be a survival trip, not a simple trek. The minimal food will be used only if we -really- need it. It'll probably consist into "gruel" and something else with very high calories, proteins and carbohydrates.
Well, 1st I noticed that you listed "condoms" which was plural; then I noticed that you listed TWO people...hmmm :creepy::creepy:
On a more serious note, condoms could be used to collect rainwater, transport water from a stream to the fire, or can also be used as gloves (I guess?).
And why should I group my items into "Fire/Shelter/Water/Food/Medical/Signal" ? =/
Anyways, many items can be used in many categories. =P
On 1st Aid Kit:
LMXXwwZh57o
Most of it, minus sunscreen.

I'd give the responsibility of assembling the 1st Aid Kit to my partner since he's the one that knows the most about that stuff. =P

The pen knife for a SAK
The frypan for a jet boil.
The plastic Spoon for a titanium Spork.
You don't need the waterproof canoe bag use a trash bag to hang.your food with
Duck tape is always a good thing to have. And a way to sharpen your knives is a good idea.

Sorry for looking stupid, but what is a SAK? And why would it be better than a pen knife?
And also, what is a jet boil? XD
Keep in mind I'm not a native English talking person: I'm a French-canadian... so my vocabulary some times limit my comprehension. =P
A trash bag would get raped by squirrels and other small mammals, no? The canoe bag is robust.
And talking about sharpening knives. I remember Bear Grylls doing so with little rocks spread on a wood stick. Is this method valuable? Do you have other good "wild" methods?
EDIT: And what about a Field Repair Kit? I guess it could prove itself to be useful in many occasions. Or will duct tape always do the trick?

Swiss army knife - SAK.
squirrels can eat thru just about anything , as can coons. Well yea grylls did it but he also drinks piss nuff said there.
A jetboil is a compact stove that packs up Into a cup
/ cooking pot. , google them you might like it.
My suggestion is that you take that kit as you have it laid out and spend the week-end with it. Determine what worked and what didn't and adjust accordingly. Then try your modified kit for the week-end. Determine what worked and what didn't and adjust accordingly. If you do that three, four or five times you should come out with a kit that is right for you. If you expect to put that kit together then go out and tackle your 20 days or whatever number you decide on it's going to be a pretty miserable experience.

Jetboil looks utterly useless: I'll use fires to boil my water... ;o
I thought "pen knife" where SAK. I was really talking about SAK, in fact. :P
But now, a new question arises: what kind of options/tools should the SAK have? There are so many different set-ups...

Problem being I will not have a single time to try it out until I must leave home once I finish school... and once I leave home, I'll have this whole equipment list with me, so there aren't much chances to change things.
I'll meet my partner weeks after I left, so if he ever he feels the need for it, he can test my list on his own.
I can personally only rely on the draft I'll have elaborated with you guys by the end of school session.
I'm pretty sure it's hard to "miss-use" that kind of basic equipment and I really don't see what could really turn bad with these items. =/

Swiss Army Knife has been in my pocket for close to 50 years, and use it just about every day.
Basic knife, 2 blades, can opener/screw driver, bottle opener/screw driver, saw, awl, scissors, tooth pick, tweezers....and if your gonna bring condoms, maybe a cork screw for the fine wine........

For a SAK, just make sure it has a knife blade, saw, and scissors. A file is also good. You will use those more than anything else.
You will want to bring something to sharpen your knife. You can sharpen in the field, but that takes experience, which you will only gain by ruining a knife or two. Not something you want to risk outside of practice. Besides, there are some pretty small knife sharpeners out there.
You will also want something separate to boil water in, besides the fry pan. Someone mentioned a metal water bottle. Make sure it isn't aluminum. Stainless or titanium only. You can get a stainless one for $5, and a titanium one for $50.

On the metal water bottle make certain it is NOT double walled. If you put that on the fire it will explode or at least pop a seam if it has one.

I prefer a multi-tool to the SAK. I carry the Gerber but the Leatherman and the SOG are also good tools. Your going to want a tarp on your list (at least, I would want one on mine). They are good for fast shelter and they are light. It really sucks when all your stuff is wet. Also, a fire is going to be a pain if thats your only heat source for 20 days x every meal! A jetboil or something similar will be worth thinking about.
One more thing, make sure you follow the game laws and have licenses that you need to take any animal. It isnt really a survival situation if your "plan A" is to kill and eat stuff once you get there...

Well dried birch tree smokes very little.
Honestly I would swap that frying pan to a kettle of some sort, or to a German style mess kit. http://wiki.partio.net/images/thumb/e/e5/Pakki.jpg/250px-Pakki.jpg
That gives you a small frying pan, kettle(more boiling capacity) coon proof storage and so on and it'll be light too when you take aluminium one. Since you'll be hiking you want to think multi use items to eliminate excess weight. And get a titanium spork!

Let me start by saying that I totally agree with Crash in post 23. I recommend that you prepare for your trip.
You state that you are too bust with your studies which implies that you feel that it is necessary for you to prepare for your chosen field of study. You have been given tools books, software, hardware to do this and instruction time to give you a chance to become proficient in the knowledge and use of those tools. By your implication. stressing your studies as being important, I assume that you do not like the idea of going into a test without having studied and practiced the what you have learned. You wish to be successful in your classes therefore you study avoiding failure. I commend you on your attitude for your studies.
Your attitude toward your "Survival journey" is a contradiction to your studies.
You plan on collecting information, tools and choose to go take your Survival TEST Journey, without the study and practice.
I like you am arrogant in that I feel that I can do just about anything I put my mind to.
I repair my car using a repair manual, and purchase the tools I need. I am not an auto repair mechanic.
Here is what I have learned and accept for gaining the experience.
It will take me at least twice as long then a mechanic due to lack of experience. Not a big deal.
You will take at least twice as long as someone with experience. It could be a real big deal if you become injured and have to stop bleeding.
I must reference the book despite reading it several times the night before and still have to pause to understand how it applies to the actual part.
You plan on having some references field guide. A reference is just that something you fall back on the enforce your knowledge. Its a bit late to be using it as a work book. How's that sprained ankle doing.
On occasion I need another tool or I'm missing a part in the middle of the repair. Not a big deal more time wasted.
you wouldn't know that you forgot to purchase that optional part for the new wonder gadget until you use it. I have encountered new products that are missing parts from its packaging. Waiting until you are in the field to try new gear can be surprising.
Sometimes I have to call a buddy for advice. Not a big deal.
Well..... You probably can't.
I sometimes make mistakes and sometimes have to re do things. Not a big deal I have some time and a spare car.
Well if you aren't practiced you may encounter the negative side of the learning curve.
You should put the same effort in to your trip that you are putting into your studies.

I thought Poncho was the same as a Tarp. It's indeed a Tarp I intend on bringing. (Somehow, the Army's Guide seems to always talk about 'poncho' when it really is a 'tarp'.)
5,000 KM in 20 days? Did I read and calculate this correctly? 250 KM/day?
I think the advice about shorter training sessions prior to this very large endeavor is something you need to think about. Skill development, kit validation, mental fitness, etc.
5000 Km of hitch-hike in 2 weeks, approximatively. Then I go tree planting for 1-2 months, then I do the 20 days of survival.
I thought I was clear. If not, sorry. At least, I know I've said it properly in my Introduction post. =P

Your attitude toward your "Survival journey" is a contradiction to your studies.
You plan on collecting information, tools and choose to go take your Survival TEST Journey, without the study and practice.
Okay, I must clarify some things I guess. =P
First of all, I'm far from putting effort into my studies: I usually start studying for exams approximatively 24 hours the exam, which is far from sufficient if I base myself on what professors ask us to do (not to mention that I miss a lot of courses, and never do homeworks except for the exam's study-session). All my time is in fact taken by my implication in different committees: I am the 'general coordinator' (big boss) of 2 of them, and I am also an active member of 4 others committees... if you're wondering, that is -a lot-. Rare are the people that even give some time to one committee. So there goes all my time. My week-ends are filled with tasks to do related to those committees (writing minutes, organizing activities, answering the mailing box, managing the multiple projects, etc.).
Secondly, I say I will not have time to practice/use any gear before leaving. It's not exactly true, it was mostly to emphasize, however, on the fact that this whole organization would be done fast.
I will have approximatively 6 days free after the end of my school session to practice some skills. After that, I leave home and will probably not get to buy any new gear on the route. But still, I will have -plenty- of time to get used to it: 2 weeks of hitch-hiking, and 4-8 weeks of tree planting... that gives me a lot of time in the ''soft'' wilderness.
And about the 'field notes', I mostly only note down the things that are very case-per-case or that I would otherwise have had to learn 'by hearth'. For example, how to treat snake bits... that's really not the kind of stuff I'd want to rely on my memory since it fails so bad. =P
Are you going to leave a trip plan with anyone? Do you plan to check in on a regular basis? Have you established any communication plan that says if I don't contact you by X call SAR?
I'm leaving a trip plan to my parents, but once I leave home, I do not intend on contacting anyone for months. I'll contact my father so he can send me my bike once I return from that 'survival trip', but since I do not have any precise date, nor determined length, he won't be waiting for my call at any precise time.
I guess my partner will be the one that will organize the 'rescue' part of the trip since the whole thing happens near his house. I have no fear about it, though, and you shouldn't. Don't think I'm just a retarded foolish young boy that will run naked in the woods hoping to pass 43209543 days without problem. I'm extremely rational, and do not intend on intentionally dying there (yet I am prepared mentally, knowing it's not just a kid's game).
I do not have any plan to offer for the 'in case of need of rescue' for now, but we -will- have one: don't worry about it, seriously.
I agree with Crash. You sound like you know all about this, yet you keep asking for advice; then, when you get it, discard it. I haven't quite decided yet if you're a troll or a numpty. organize your list under the 4 essentials,that way you stay focused. I think you think you know it all already so I, like Crash, am done here. :brickwall:
I haven't discarded any advice... I explained my position on every single advice given on this thread.
For the ''4 essentials'', I simply asked how it could be relevant, yet no one answered, and since I personally consider it to be irrelevant in this case, I will not do so. It's pretty clear which item could be classed in which category. =/
No one told me why I should get a Jetboil instead of just boiling my water with a casserole. Rationally, to me, the Jetboil just looks like extra-weight.
A troll reading through 400 pages of a survival guide just to spoil a fake equipment list would be extremely determined. ;o
In resume: it looks like you are a lot to under-estimate my capacities to organize this trip, and you also seem forget that I am not alone working on this...
I believe my questions were clear in the OP:
''Too huge? Unrealistic? Unfitting? Comment.
If you could give your advice on whether or not you consider the "{Optional?}" marked items as being optional, it'd be great.
And finally, what should the First Aid Kit contain?''
Everything has its time. I'm currently working on the equipment list. Don't think that because I only talk about this aspect of the journey that I am only thinking about this one. ^_^

As for the SAK, the "Camper," the "Hiker", the "Hunter," or a lockblade "Hunter," or "Equestrian" will handle just about any needs you might have for a smaller knife.
Condom??? I'd forget that if I were you, unless your partner is a hot little babe who likes to snuggle in the leaves. If it's for carrying water or such, get a couple of one gallon ZipLok bags and reinforce the bottom edges with duct tape. A ZipLok bag will work much, much more efficiently than a condom for water.
As others said, get a small pot with lid to boil your water, and cook some of your food. While you're at it, make certain you have a way to clean your cooking gear after use. Unclean pans and pots and cups, etc., can easily lead to food poisoning ... and that is the last thing you want out in the woods, far from medical help. A small bottle of liquid soap can save you all kinds of misery.
EDIT:
PAYNE - "And finally, what should the First Aid Kit contain?''
Do you have any First Aid training?? If not, you'd be wise to find a Red Cross course where you are going to school and take the course. First Aid is not something you want to try and learn "on the spot" in an emergency situation. If you have a First Aid kit and do not know how to use it, it's practically worthless.
Good luck.

I thought Poncho was the same as a Tarp. It's indeed a Tarp I intend on bringing. (Somehow, the Army's Guide seems to always talk about 'poncho' when it really is a 'tarp'.)
5000 Km of hitch-hike in 2 weeks, approximatively. Then I go tree planting for 1-2 months, then I do the 20 days of survival.
I thought I was clear. If not, sorry. At least, I know I've said it properly in my Introduction post. =P
Taken in note: thanks! =D
Okay, I must clarify some things I guess. =P
First of all, I'm far from putting effort into my studies: I usually start studying for exams approximatively 24 hours the exam, which is far from sufficient if I base myself on what professors ask us to do (not to mention that I miss a lot of courses, and never do homeworks except for the exam's study-session). All my time is in fact taken by my implication in different committees: I am the 'general coordinator' (big boss) of 2 of them, and I am also an active member of 4 others committees... if you're wondering, that is -a lot-. Rare are the people that even give some time to one committee. So there goes all my time. My week-ends are filled with tasks to do related to those committees (writing minutes, organizing activities, answering the mailing box, managing the multiple projects, etc.).
Secondly, I say I will not have time to practice/use any gear before leaving. It's not exactly true, it was mostly to emphasize, however, on the fact that this whole organization would be done fast.
I will have approximatively 6 days free after the end of my school session to practice some skills. After that, I leave home and will probably not get to buy any new gear on the route. But still, I will have -plenty- of time to get used to it: 2 weeks of hitch-hiking, and 4-8 weeks of tree planting... that gives me a lot of time in the ''soft'' wilderness.
And about the 'field notes', I mostly only note down the things that are very case-per-case or that I would otherwise have had to learn 'by hearth'. For example, how to treat snake bits... that's really not the kind of stuff I'd want to rely on my memory since it fails so bad. =P
I'm leaving a trip plan to my parents, but once I leave home, I do not intend on contacting anyone for months. I'll contact my father so he can send me my bike once I return from that 'survival trip', but since I do not have any precise date, nor determined length, he won't be waiting for my call at any precise time.
I guess my partner will be the one that will organize the 'rescue' part of the trip since the whole thing happens near his house. I have no fear about it, though, and you shouldn't. Don't think I'm just a retarded foolish young boy that will run naked in the woods hoping to pass 43209543 days without problem. I'm extremely rational, and do not intend on intentionally dying there (yet I am prepared mentally, knowing it's not just a kid's game).
I do not have any plan to offer for the 'in case of need of rescue' for now, but we -will- have one: don't worry about it, seriously.
I haven't discarded any advice... I explained my position on every single advice given on this thread.
For the ''4 essentials'', I simply asked how it could be relevant, yet no one answered, and since I personally consider it to be irrelevant in this case, I will not do so. It's pretty clear which item could be classed in which category. =/
No one told me why I should get a Jetboil instead of just boiling my water with a casserole. Rationally, to me, the Jetboil just looks like extra-weight.
A troll reading through 400 pages of a survival guide just to spoil a fake equipment list would be extremely determined. ;o
In resume: it looks like you are a lot to under-estimate my capacities to organize this trip, and you also seem forget that I am not alone working on this...
I believe my questions were clear in the OP:
''Too huge? Unrealistic? Unfitting? Comment.
If you could give your advice on whether or not you consider the "{Optional?}" marked items as being optional, it'd be great.
And finally, what should the First Aid Kit contain?''
Everything has its time. I'm currently working on the equipment list. Don't think that because I only talk about this aspect of the journey that I am only thinking about this one. ^_^
Since we "shouldn't worry about it" I think no more advice should be given,using the search function on the site will answer some of your questions,if not all.
Your attitude towards most advice already given is pretty poor,you came here asking for advice from people who have "been there,done that" and know that of which they speak.sounds like you are not getting your ego stroked,these guys are not gonna do that for you ....

What about you read properly what I'm writing?
I'm saying I do not want advices on the rescue part since I haven't started preparing it yet. I created this thread to receive inputs on my equipment list.
My attitude toward the advices related to the Original Post are perfectly fine. But yes, I do reject help on the rescue part. And it's really not as if it's hard to plan that part: it's a matter of saying where you'll be, when you should come back, and have a way to call for emergency at any time.
Are you waiting from me to be sorry for asking explanations on some advices? Because I am not: it's perfectly rational.

Thanks for all the advices.
Here's the final version of my equipment list:
• Mosquito net
• Snare wire
• Cordage
• Duct tape
• Survival Knife
• Swiss Army Knife
• Casserole
• Stainless water bottle (not double walled)
• Fishing line and hook(s)
• Bear spray
• Flint
• Flashlight + Batteries
• Cotton-ball tinder into a zip-lock bag
• Large garbage bag (for tree stills)
• First Aid Kit
• Tarp
• Small axe
• Backpack
• A canoe waterproof bag (for food storage in the air)
• Minimal food rations
• Trail flags
• Whistle
• Titanium spork
• Wild Edible Plants/Berries Book
• Knife sharpener
• Map + Compass
• Satellite phone
• Unscented antibacterial soap
• Blanket
• Toilet paper roll
• Cloth
If ever I open more threads, it'll most likely be because I'll have questions about "making soap in the wild" or also possibly on "cordage". I also have some questions on the Bow-drill fire, but the thread's already open.
The rest will all be about me practising stuff, so unless I encounter a major block, I shouldn't bother people anymore.
Thank you a lot for all your help guys, even though a lot of misconceptions created some frictions. =P
I can only hope for my parents to buy me a camera so I can bring back some great pictures. ^_^
Don't worry: today's failed attempt at making a bow-drill fire made me realize how unarmed I was (it was really pathetic), and I will practice a lot more than I expected to. I'll chew some school time and try to hang a bit more in the simili-forest behind my house.

I just don't see this going well for you. It is not just about planning but also testing (your gear and skills). So just what is your skill level and that of your buddy?
What are you going to do for shelter? Why a pan and not a pot? It is better to have all the supplies you might need and not use them rather than not have them and need them.

hi there
I'd add a couple of other things that I use every time out...
A small folding saw: Bahco or Opinel
A light sleeping bag rather than a blanket.
A bivvy bag and camp mat if you are planning on sleeping in the forest under your tarp.
I'd carry a Leatherman too.
I always carry at least 2 litres of water one of which is a canteen and quart set, light and useful as it gives you a cup for boiling and dosn't take up any more room than a water bottle on its own.
Nearly forgot a Swedish Army Firesteel...

My Suggestion is to "layer" your equipment.
"Stuff" in your back pack.
"Stuff" in a pouch on your belt
"Stuff" in your pockets.
Always use whats in your back pack first.
If you lose your backpack, you will have enought in your belt pouch to surivive.
If you lose you belt pouch you will have enought in you pockets to surivive.
If you do use some "Stuff" from your belt pouch or pockets replenish from your back pack asap.

I do a version of that when I normally travel. Don't always feel like dressing in cargo pants, vests and shirts with pockets but it's worth it, on the off chance I'm left without my carry on, pocket book, etc.

What's your view?
Today I changed my overloaded survival kit, into a smaller more compact, what I think is more concise survival kit. (tin size like http://www.survivalaids.com/order1.php?pg=715). What do you think to smaller/bigger tins what's is better/worse? Why?
Sam
I think you are better off having that than nothing. But I also think you need to build a kit tailored to your needs. I may not choose to gather fish with line and hook or I may not want my water chemically treated. If you build your own kit then you can pick and choose the things you want to have and generally have better quality materials. I'll leave that last comment as a general rule since there are kits on the market that are pretty well made.

Here are some of the things I chose when assembling my own Survival Kit.
I'm sure many of these have been talked about many times (Swedish Firesteel); but it's my decision on which is the best to buy out of all that's out there.
Most, if not all, of these things can be gotten from Amazon.com.
First is the box to put everything in. I chose metal so I can use it to cook with. A SIGG Maxi Aluminum Box with safety clasps.
For the Survival Kit knife I chose a Ka-Bar BK11. Paracord with the guts ripped out can be used to wrap the handle (has holes in the handle that are paracord-sized). The overall size is perfect for a survival kit, it's big enough to use for small chopping jobs, yet small enough to pack into a kit.
Tri-Seps by Gatco for sharpening knifes, pins, fish hooks. It has three sides with three different roundnesses for sharpening serrated knives.
Frontier Emergeny Water Filtering Straw. Small and compact. Filters 30 gallons of water.
Leatherman Squirt PS4 Multi-tool. Really tiny, yet rugged and has scissors, wire cutters, pliers, many other tools.
SE 11-function Credit Card Tool. Fits in a wallet, has eleven tools (knife, screwdriver, can opener, bottle opener, butterfly screw wrench, saw blade, ruler, 6 wrench sizes, compass if you fill Anxiliary indicator with water and float magnetized pin (dubious use).
Tool Logic Survival Card I. The compass works fine if you remove all metal tools. The little serrated knife is very useful, firestarter, tweezers, toothpick, magnifying glass. Can be quickly thrown into the wallet and carried at all times.
You should also include the Tool Logic T1BCC Series Business Card Ultra-slim Tool Card with 12 Features. It's small, thin and has things such as a needle and writing pen.
Storm All-Weather Safety Whistle. Bright-orange so you can't lose it, bigger than most safety whistles but even blows underwater (strange skill). Loudest whistle in the world. You must cover your own ears or you probably will lose some hearing.
The Tick Key. Easy way to remove ticks. You slide the groove under the tick and pull him off without his head coming off.
Swiss+Tech Micro-Max 19-in-1 tool. Has good screwdriver set, even has hex hole that can work with any magnetic tip so you can bring just the hex sizes or star wrench sizes you might need (good for cross-country bicycling).
StarFlash Signal Mirror.
Swedish Firesteel Magnesium Starter. Get the 10,000 use one. Best firestarter. Just bring pack of drier lint with you as tinder.
Buy pack of 100 4 mil ziplock bags of size 2" x 2" and 2" x 3". They are useful for many reasons. The 2" x 2' size is perfect for packing one kleenex. Pack a few for emergency toilet paper use. Also, you can pack 12 waterproof matches into one if you clip about 3/16" off the end of the match. Stuff them in side-by-side and slip them in the side of the kit. Five "Tinder Quik" Fire-starter Tabs fit in a 2" x 2", too. Or stuff three cotton balls dipped in vaseline into one.
17% Streetwise Pepper Spray for bear, person (and dog repellent if you're cross-country bicycling). Small yet powerful.
'Real' 550 Paracord. "Brigade Quartermasters" carries good-quality paracord. I got orange so things can be seen easily when you're camping. (Model Number RAP5016 )
Pack of "Nature's Way Alive - Whole Food Energizer", 1.4 ounces. I chose the Apple-Cinnamon flavor. Has 3333% of Vitamin B12, 2500% of Vitamin B-6, 120 Calories. Good power drink to keep you going in an emergency.
Pack of "Amazing Meal, "Chocolate Infusion". 32.6 Grams. Greens, protein & Vegetables. 110 Calories. Blends superfoods adn protein for energy.
Rite-in-the-Rain All-Weather Memo Book with Waterproof pages. No. 374-M.
SOL Bivy. You get the advantage of metalized polyesther at the same time as it being a bivy. Very small and light.
Pack two NITEiZE "Figure-9" 50-pound Carabiners (definitely not for climbing) for quick taking-up-of-slack on paracord. Can be used to hang a tarp guy rope, etc. Or, one 'true' carabiner which can take a load (get in the mountaineering dept. of REI).
Fresnel "Card Magnifier" lens, 3.5" x 2 1/4" is another one that takes up no room and slides along the edges of the kit.
Stainless Steel Commando Wire Saw Model 8312. Don't pull too hard, of course, these are fragile. There's a bigger version that is really tough, but I tend to just break limbs by levering them between two close trees to snap them, or across my knee; so haven't found the need for a saw too much. Good to have, though, and packs small.
Waxed thread. You can get it at a craft store like Michaels. It is super-strong and works like iron (imagine thick dental floss). Can be easily used to make trapping nooses.
Roll of wire; I got mine at the local dollar store.
Silva "Guide' Compact Sighting Compass Model 426. Packs small, durable, works well.
Hemostat clamp.
Forehead thermometer. Use your signalling mirror to read the temperature. Walgreens has it.
Butane Torch lighter with blue flame. You should have many ways of starting a fire.
3M Steri Strip Skin Closures 1/4" x 3" - 10 Packages of 3 for when you cut yourself deep. Act as sutures.
Well, those are a few of the choice picks. Hope that helps.

I don't know about other folks, but I don't cook in anything made out of aluminum. :cool2:
Nice write up. Now test out your kit and see if they were in fact all the right choices.
Not sure what you mean by "real" 550 cord. It's either MIL-C-5040 Type III or Type III Commercial or some knock off version. The Commercial Type III will do anything that MIL-C-5040 will at about half the price.
Just so you understand, Vitamin B6 and B12 are both water soluble vitamins. It doesn't matter if your product has a trillion times the recommended dose ALL the extra is excreted mostly through urine in B6 or through bile in B12. The most you can have is 100% of what your body requires and the rest is excreted. B12 can be stored in the liver for a long time so the odds of you having a B12 deficiency is pretty slim.

I use the Silva Ranger compass as it's a lot more durable than many others. I bought my parachute cord from "Cheaper Than Dirt," & for a flint/steel method I use Strike force. While I do have both a "Fox 40" whistle & a Starflash, I thought both needed improvement so I upgraded. The Whistle I like is a flat, pealess whistle & you can get a better (IMO) mirror here:

I've used the kit, in various conditions of completion, for many months.
I find that I take out parts of it and put them into a smaller pouch with a zipper that I put on my beltloop with a carabiner.
...
Yes, B vitamins pee out; but I was just giving a couple examples of what the kind of nutrition levels are in it. It is fully-packed with everyting you'd need in an emergency condition.
I don't know how to add photos in this Forum yet. I have a full PDF of the entire kit I could attach if it allows large file attachments.
Ahah. So there's a 'attach picture', 'attach link' and 'attach video'. Will try those next time. I figure that 'attach link' means something is already on the interent, rather than attaching a PDF.
So, I just opened up a new angelfire site and uploaded the PDF. Lets try a link...

< I prefer non serrated knives for survival work and so a simple stone can be used to touch up the edge.>
Frontier Emergeny Water Filtering Straw. Small and compact. Filters 30 gallons of water.
<So you are good for 30 days or 2 of you for 15 or 3 of you for 10. What about after that? You said in an earlier post that you had spent months on the road, you will need a better resource for filtering water.>
Leatherman Squirt PS4 Multi-tool. Really tiny, yet rugged and has scissors, wire cutters, pliers, many other tools.
<I'll again defer to the girlfriend analogy.>
SE 11-function Credit Card Tool. Fits in a wallet, has eleven tools (knife, screwdriver, can opener, bottle opener, butterfly screw wrench, saw blade, ruler, 6 wrench sizes, compass if you fill Anxiliary indicator with water and float magnetized pin (dubious use).
<Wouldn't a SAK fill the same billet? Have you actually used it under adverse conditions?>
Tool Logic Survival Card I. The compass works fine if you remove all metal tools. The little serrated knife is very useful, firestarter, tweezers, toothpick, magnifying glass. Can be quickly thrown into the wallet and carried at all times.
<Again, I can carry my SAK on my hip at all times. I prefer a dedicated compass.>
You should also include the Tool Logic T1BCC Series Business Card Ultra-slim Tool Card with 12 Features. It's small, thin and has things such as a needle and writing pen.
Storm All-Weather Safety Whistle. Bright-orange so you can't lose it, bigger than most safety whistles but even blows underwater (strange skill). Loudest whistle in the world. You must cover your own ears or you probably will lose some hearing.
The Tick Key. Easy way to remove ticks. You slide the groove under the tick and pull him off without his head coming off.
<I really like the tick key but would not be without a pair of tweezers as well.>
Swiss+Tech Micro-Max 19-in-1 tool. Has good screwdriver set, even has hex hole that can work with any magnetic tip so you can bring just the hex sizes or star wrench sizes you might need (good for cross-country bicycling).
<I love gizmos and gadgets as much as the next guy but I think you've gone over board with them.>
StarFlash Signal Mirror.
<Good item but a good compass with mirror (Silva, Ranger) does double duty.>
Swedish Firesteel Magnesium Starter. Get the 10,000 use one. Best firestarter. Just bring pack of drier lint with you as tinder.
<Have one and like it but prefer the BlastMatch.>
Buy pack of 100 4 mil ziplock bags of size 2" x 2" and 2" x 3". They are useful for many reasons. The 2" x 2' size is perfect for packing one kleenex. Pack a few for emergency toilet paper use. Also, you can pack 12 waterproof matches into one if you clip about 3/16" off the end of the match. Stuff them in side-by-side and slip them in the side of the kit. Five "Tinder Quik" Fire-starter Tabs fit in a 2" x 2", too. Or stuff three cotton balls dipped in vaseline into one.
17% Streetwise Pepper Spray for bear, person (and dog repellent if you're cross-country bicycling). Small yet powerful.
'Real' 550 Paracord. "Brigade Quartermasters" carries good-quality paracord. I got orange so things can be seen easily when you're camping. (Model Number RAP5016 )
Pack of "Nature's Way Alive - Whole Food Energizer", 1.4 ounces. I chose the Apple-Cinnamon flavor. Has 3333% of Vitamin B12, 2500% of Vitamin B-6, 120 Calories. Good power drink to keep you going in an emergency.
Pack of "Amazing Meal, "Chocolate Infusion". 32.6 Grams. Greens, protein & Vegetables. 110 Calories. Blends superfoods adn protein for energy.
Rite-in-the-Rain All-Weather Memo Book with Waterproof pages. No. 374-M.
SOL Bivy. You get the advantage of metalized polyesther at the same time as it being a bivy. Very small and light.
<Another item I really like. I've got the 2 person size which they don't make anymore.>
Pack two NITEiZE "Figure-9" 50-pound Carabiners (definitely not for climbing) for quick taking-up-of-slack on paracord. Can be used to hang a tarp guy rope, etc. Or, one 'true' carabiner which can take a load (get in the mountaineering dept. of REI).
Fresnel "Card Magnifier" lens, 3.5" x 2 1/4" is another one that takes up no room and slides along the edges of the kit.
<If you can't start a fire with a firesteel, how do you expect to start one with a magnifier lens?>
Stainless Steel Commando Wire Saw Model 8312. Don't pull too hard, of course, these are fragile. There's a bigger version that is really tough, but I tend to just break limbs by levering them between two close trees to snap them, or across my knee; so haven't found the need for a saw too much. Good to have, though, and packs small.
<Again, the saw in the SAK works just fine for what you need.>
Waxed thread. You can get it at a craft store like Michaels. It is super-strong and works like iron (imagine thick dental floss). Can be easily used to make trapping nooses.
<I prefer 65 or 80 lb test SpyderWire and I can use it in building a shelter.>
Roll of wire; I got mine at the local dollar store.
<What kind if wire? I carry .020 stainless safety wire in my kit.>
Silva "Guide' Compact Sighting Compass Model 426. Packs small, durable, works well.
Hemostat clamp.
Forehead thermometer. Use your signalling mirror to read the temperature. Walgreens has it.
Butane Torch lighter with blue flame. You should have many ways of starting a fire.
3M Steri Strip Skin Closures 1/4" x 3" - 10 Packages of 3 for when you cut yourself deep. Act as sutures.
Well, those are a few of the choice picks. Hope that helps.<
<What do you carry water in?>

Cheaper Than Dirt sells the real deal & have been doing so for many years.
http://www.cheaperthandirt.net/SearchResults.aspx?site=All+Products&num=15&q=parachute+cord&pagenumber=1
I bought the 1000' spool myself. :shifty:
(Pssst. That's Commercial Type III cord. But don't tell anyone.)
Well, success breeds rip-offs. There seem to currently be a ton of really cheap quality cord being passed-off as 550 paracord that's circling the internet. Some doesn't even have the interior 7 strands.
There is probably some truth to that statement. When you are looking for paracord if you can pick up 1000 feet for $50 (or about that) it's Commercial Type III. MIL-C-5040 will cost you about $80 or so per 1000 feet. You can also pick up on the description in many cases. It's easy to gloss over the descriptions so really read it. Some retailers will try to pass off Commercial as MIL-C-5040 and you'll never know the difference when you have it in hand. But the price is a sure give away.

As for toilet paper...
When I pack a survival kit it's usually particular to things.
The things it is particular to in my case are extremely long term cross-country bicycling and the desert.
When you're crossing the country by bicycle in all seasons and for many months-at-a-time every item you bring is survival gear, not just what is in the one box. The box contains emergency stuff, but other more immedite-need stuff also finds its way there.
Toilet paper, I just use a roll of it. But, disasters happen always in a cross-country situation. I got flooded out once, I had a flash flood once, I had what was probably a tornado bouncing over me once, I had storms that would tear the tent flat, sometimes water would find its way into tent and things got wet.
So, those are the times that you need whatever is in the box.
I had a huge box on the first bike trip. It was called a 'Rec-Pac' by Anzen (now defunct). It was a hard canoing pack with a rubber seal. It saved our a** many times, and really saved our lives a couple times. I would have been dead once if I didnt' have all that dry gear in the Rec-Pac.
So, Survival gear extends outwards from the little box and into the little box. Sometimes need blends and a thing that used to be just in the survival kit moves to a more accessible area.
Toilet paper is always the one you need at all times. Sometimes it was used to absorb thunderstorm water as it leaked under the tent floor, sometimes it would absorb my sweat which would build up as condensation under my sleeping bag. On the second trip I had gotten a plastic container which exactly fit a whole roll (had to strip a few feet off the outside, but basically a whole roll).
So, toilet paper isn't generally much in my survival kit. It's too much a necessity. I don't have the luxury of taking room in my survival kit for it much. I think it to be quite an extravagance to put two tissue pieces in two plastic bags in there. To me, that's maybe too much.
It's like candy. I put one fireball in there. But, usually that gets supplanted by more important things like water purification tablets (first trip I just used drops of bleach. Second trip I used a couple drops of regular iodine from a regular iodine bottle.)
Most of the things that are taken for granted now-a-days (that you get a bottle of water purification tablets) I just used simple things and they worked just fine.
I had a regular four-way screwdriver, a hand drill with a 1/8" drill bit (which I used to drill through copper pipe one time to create a mirror mount for the bike), a broken hacksaw blade, etc. There were no prepared tools back then. I just improvised. When the Rec-Pac lid busted in Tennessee I had to fashion a new one out of sheet steel and angle aluminum which I cut with the broken hacksaw blade and drilled with the hand drill and 1/8" bit hole-by-hole until I was done. Glued on the cut edges with a gray epoxy weld, glued on the old rubber seal with 'Scotch Super Strength Adhesive'. Had to stop in a store in a town to borrow a pop-rivet gun to transfer the two snap hasps to the new lid.
So, you use what you have, then you improvise the rest.
I put few (what I'd term) luxuries in my true 'Survival Kit'. I basically put the things I hope I will never have to use in the survival kit. I have other bags for the more used items. If I find I am using something from the emergency kit too much, it gets shifted to a more easily reached place.

Well, The Tick Key has a thing which would be very hard to duplicate.
First, it's so cheap why would you want to try and make your own; but second, the area where the tick's head is is tapered downwards so it isn't just flat. Then it tapers into a little specially-shaped area and is just the right amount of sharpness so it funnels on either side of the tick's head without shearing it off. The slight bend downwards cradles the head as you pull and the not-quite-perfectly sharp edge pulls the mouth parts out instead of just slicing off the head.
That's pretty particular and I'd say I, who is very good at the use of a Dremel tool, would have a hard time replicating those angles.
I generally buy what I couldn't possibly make. They did a wonderful job designing this tick tool; and it's amazingly cheap.
How did you carry a Rec-Pac on your bike? Those things are huge.
TheWind777

As for water... that completely depends on where I am.
When I went cross-country I would use those collapsible plastic 5-gallon containers. That way you can squeeze out the air and only fill it part of the way, or you can fill the whole block up. However, when it got above about 90 degrees the water was too tepid. In that case I would use a Urethane filled thermos which would keep its cold for a long time even in direct baking sunlight. Then I would try and fill it from drinking fountains in supermarkets when we went through the small towns.
When I have more luxury, meaning that I'm just living at home and I'm going out on the weekend to hike and camp in the Sonoran Desert or the Superstition Mountains (which is every weekend) I freeze liter bottles three-quarters-of-the-way in the freezer, then fill them up to the top.
I have a slip-over cover which is insulated which keeps the frozen part frozen until the next morning even when the sun is a baking 110 degrees.
When I go riding on hot days with my bike I freeze water half full on the bike bottles, which I slide into the bike's holder. Then I put another bottle of water that's 3/4 frozen into a insulated holder in the Bike Bin (a hard bike pannier we use when we go for short bike rides) with cloth packed around it (usually a jacket because the Desert goes cold quite quickly after the sun goes down, particuarly after about September).

I designed a thing I called "The Rec-Pac Holder". I had made a thin platform which had four oval holes cut out of it to keep the weight down. Then I built-up three sides with 3/4" wood and screwed and countersunk which were exactly the width of the Rec-Pac. I then put the same thickness wood on the RecPac so a rounded edge fit into a round edge on the holder. I used the same snaps the Rec-Pac used to close the lid to snap it in three places on the holder.
To adhere the platform to the bike's rack I just used small U-bolts which were then adhered with PC-7 (a very rugged aluminum-filled-epoxy).
The only frail part turned out to be the lid. The original lid for the Rec-Pac was a different kind of brittle plastic which shattered easily. It had already cracked just weeks out on the trip. In Tennessee we were heading on to see a Hog Slaughter and so I was in a hurry. I forgot to snap the three snaps (only time I ever did that) and as I headed up the hill towards the slaughter the Rec-Pac slid off and crashed to the ground with the charging wire I had built in to it dragging it behind.
The cover was shattered completely and there was then nothing to keep everything inside. I fashioned a bunji cord solution temporarily, then purchased the needed parts as we went through the next towns. I looked pretty silly riding with a six-foot length of angle aluminum sticking out of the back.
The Rec-Pac gave a very strong platform on which I could strap anything I wanted. I would be able to strap a five gallon collapsible water container on top with Bunji cords, along with a pressure cooker filled with beans to soak all day so it would be ready for us at night.
I once figured up and me, the gear, the food, the water and the bike would sometimes weigh a total of 450 pounds. Ouch.

After finishing the Rec-Pac holder, I painted it with Epoxy Paint which made it perfectly waterproof. It easily went the 5000 miles without a hitch. One time in Texas, around Woodville, I leaned the bike on a pole on the side of the road. I was shocked when the bike kept going. The pole was really made out of cheap plastic. The bike started sliding down a 45 degree embankment. I grabbed the back tire as it slid but couldnt' stop it. It fell over the edge of a wash, falling a full ten feet upside-down.
It lie there playing music because the radio had turned on.
The Rec-Pac holder was fine.
Man, you must have been running Armadillos clinchers or something similar. My wife and I road back when we were kids. We did several centuries but always had a gear truck to toss stuff into.

About a year ago I saw an advertisement for an orange Rec-Pac on-line. Talked with the lady and she said she had had a vintage 1980 Rec-Pac in brand-new condition. It had never been used and had been just stored away in its box since then.
I probably wouldn't have bought it anyways, but i thought that was amazing that there was a new Rec-Pac still out there.
It was the one which had the shaped curve on the top for a spare scuba tank. The plan with those was you put your gear into the Rec-Pac, you then tethered it to the bottom with a weight and you could scuba dive around it. That's how waterproof a Rec-Pac was.
The vinyl roll-bags for kayaking are no competion relative to a Rec-Pac. Those leak unless you have them rolled nearly half-way down the bag.

Yeah, on the second bike trip we crossed the "Bikecentennial Route". They brought a big group of people who stood in awe as I cut with a regular knife. Most of them were carrying almost nothing. They had a truck which carried the bulk of it. They had to carry at least one of the kitchen supplies. They had one pair of shorts, a tiny GoreTex jacket and that was about it.
They had basically shipped everything else home after about the first week. They were expected to go 60 - 100 miles-per-day so they had no energy to actually have adventures at all afterwards. I remember us about to go to a Mountain Oyster dinner that was put on with Pot Luck. I went over to tell the guys about it as they came into their camp, and one just turned to me with this look of utter exhaustion and said, "Are you KIDDING ME?"
I don't understand people who would just kill themselves without having any kind of adventure at all. I asked one of the kids what the best thing was on their trip and they said "Ma's Boarding House", which was the boring place where we were staying for the night. We exchanged a tale of a rattler which had been touching Christine's toe the night before. She had let out a scream and I was off and running before the sound stopped. She had never screamed before. I kept thinking as I ran, "What could it be? Bear? People?" I came up over the bluff, threw my arms out to the sides and roared like a gorilla. Birds flew up at an angle. I said, perplexed and exasperated, "Birds???"
She goes, "No, Rattlesnake."
I say, "Where?"
She says, "Over there by that pronghorn skeleton."
She was about ten feet from the pronghorn skeleton, and there was no snake in sight.
"Well how did you get where you are now?"
"I don't know," she says.
"Well, where's the rattler?"
"I don't know," she says.
She had come over the edge of the bluff, had looked down and a rattler was touching her toe. She didn't have a clue how she had either gotten ten feet away from it, why she didn't get bit, or where it went.
The group would merely go from one known spot to another. Each day was already planned out for them and so all they could do is kill themselves with competition, making fun of those who came in last.

By the way, if readers don't know what a 'Anzen Rec-Pac' is, it was a hard canoing pack with a rubber seal. It was absolutely waterproof and would stay absolutely waterproof even after years of use.
It was made out of solid plastic, so was heavy and hard against your body; but it was built like a brick-you-know-what. The only weak part was the lid, which was made from a very brittle plastic.
They were used by outfitters for years because they were so rugged. If you wanted to rent a canoe, you could also rent a Rec-Pac to go along with it. I swear that some outfitters are still using the 1980 Rec-Pacs even though Anzen went out of business decades ago.

And for those who never heard of the Bikecentennial Route, it's now called the TransAmerica Trail. It passes 4,250 miles.
We crossed it on our second bike trip as we passed through the Red Desert in Wyoming just before Yellowstone around Rawlins (Rawlings?).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikecentennial
The kids doing it told us they had paid $7000 to the company, who drove along with them with all the food. The cost included each place they stayed each night, and food. They absolutely had to stay up with the rest of the people and they knew exactly what place they had come from and what place they would be going to the next night.
The guide, when he got to talk to us alone, said, "Help!"
Apparently the kids were forcing him to eat a diet of hamburgers bought at junk food places as they went and he said he never had enough energy because of it.

I saw a post about getting water out of a cactus.
Actually, there is no water in a cactus. If you cut a barrel cactus off (not an easy job because it has fishhook spines which bite into your hand) it has a green pulp inside. If you mush up that pulp, you get no water. You get this squishy pulp. If you ate that pulp it would give you diarrhea. You could cut some out and put it under a solar still, but you'd only get a couple cups of water a day and you need a gallon of water an hour when it's above 100 degrees.
So, you would die way before you got enough water out of a cactus.
On my first bike trip, just before I settled down in Tucson, I did it once just to see. It took about half-an-hour to cut the top off (even with a knife with a ten-inch blade). Then I sliced back-and-forth-back-and-forth.
It's more like the consistency of watermelon rind than water.

Who else in here has a SK already?:)
lb[/U]
LarryB, I have been working on a small survival kit for probably a year. I have read a variety of survival books and liked Cody Lundin's 98 Degrees The Art of Keeping Your *** Alive So I took his list and started putting one together. I have nearly all the 25 items he listed in mine, along with some items I bought before. So I have one that I put in a medium sized fanny pack so if I do leave home and go out into the wilderness I can probably stay alive for several days either until I get myself out or someone finds me if I should get lost. I certainly hope so anyway.
LarryB hasn't been on in a while. That post was from 2007. In any case, having a kit is definitely a good thing and following a list from a well known person is a logical place to start. But don't forget to take the kit out and use it. Make certain you know how to use all of the components and make sure each one is right for you. If something doesn't work for you then replace it. The kit needs to be personalized to your skills to make the most of it.

AS I have stated before. You need to layer your surivial kit.
Back pack
belt/fanny pack
In your pocket kit.
The items in your pockets need to be secure enough that you would need to lose your pants before you lose any items in them.
Use your items from your back pack first, then your belt/fanny pack and hope you don't have to use the items in your pants pockets

I agree layering is the way to go, in my case driving truck cross country I never know what might happen. A water landing, rock slide, avalanche, fire (wild or auto) flash flood, or even tornadoe like what happened in Joplin or down south this last year. My pockets may end up all I have. Although I keep my "belt pack" by my driver seat ready to grab and leap. Right now I am planning and working on a kit for the mutt to carry in a harness pack.

Flexibility and adaptability are huge factors when coming up with survival kits. My kits will change depending on the environment I am going to be in, why I am there and how long I am going to be there. You should always have enough, but never take more than you need in any circumstance. Believe me, having more can be an extreme burden and far more harmful than helpful in many scenarios.
The ability to create shelter, provide protection and aid in the efforts to hunt/sustain for myself are things I will consider with every item.
One thing I think a lot of people fail to realize is the importance of having a "kit" to survive at all times.
Even if I'm going on a three to four day camping escapade, I am never leaving my site unless I have the items necessary to survive if it magically disappeared after an hour hike.

I went to my local Barnes & Nobel, and picked up a field guide with over 200 color picture wild edible plants, (A Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: Eastern and Central North America Lee Allen Peterson, Roger Tory Peterson in Books). It seems to be pretty comprehensive. There is also a lot of good information on this forum. The thing I like about this field manual is it is small enough to carryin your pack, and it has preparation instructions as well.
There are a lot of good books on wilderness edibles. A lot of good books on wilderness et. al. They all serve as a good guide and a good starting place. As Sourdough says, boots in the field are required to put the knowledge into action. If you have the slightest doubt on a wild edible, however, take some pictures and talk it out with someone that will know what it is.

Layering not only insures that you have a kit of some size with you, it also insures redundancy as each larger kit should have most of the items of the previous (smaller) kit along with different or upgraded items.

To carry it in the Box i use two straws. I melt the ends fith a Fire lighter.
U can use the straw and make them longer if you put them into each other.
If you like share my idea ...

My Basic Survival Kits
I use one knive combination for work and Towntrips. The other one is the one with the multitool and a bigger Firestick and more Paracord.
Both have some hidden secrets:
- Knive or Multitool
- Paracord
- Firestick
- 3 Fishing Hooks
- 1 needle

If you dig deep enough, you can request that your own city provide you with some of these materials. I received a kit in Los Angeles and New York - a kind of 'prep' kit - free reading materials and many of the items listed here including first aid kit, workman gloves, and glow sticks.

My survival kit consists of nothing but a knife. Anyone that needs more then a knife is a weakling that doesn't deserve to live!.....Kidding, Joke ;)
I designed mine for about 2 days min.
- Backpack
- Folding Knife
- Multitool
- Knife Sharpener
- Fire Starter
- First Aid Pouch
- Compass
- Most Accurate scale map of area I can find
- Light Bedroll
- Thermos
- Water Purification tabets
- LED Flashlight w/spare batteries
- 50 feet of light rope
- Hatchet
Hopefully I can also grab either my 12 gauge Remington, .303 Lee Enfield or at the vary least one of my hunting bows and spare ammo. Then I would be set to hide in the woods for awhile if I needed to.

Glad you qualified that, you'd be surprised how much some people believe that a knife is all they need! Many moons ago, before there were any mods on here, two guys showed up from Canada. The following thread tells the tale, you have to read into it a-ways, but then keep reading to find out what happened!

Layering not only insures that you have a kit of some size with you, it also insures redundancy as each larger kit should have most of the items of the previous (smaller) kit along with different or upgraded items.
This is such an important point, Sarky.
My pocket kit will go along way to help me survive, but it fits in a pocket.
Each solution is covered in my bag, but in a "bigger" way.
My vehicle bag includes food, plus xtra tools.
My kayak bag is not designed to go anywhere; it carries things, (like clothes),that I might change into or strap on someplace.
It is a "graded" response; just because its not in or on my bag right now doesn't meanit wouldn't be. Everything is situational.

Yep. I kayak, and a kayak is a quite different animal than a bicycle. I only kayak one-night, for one thing.
I tend to have three emergency kits. One is nylon cordura with a carribinger to snap it onto my beltloop. It is a greatly pared-down emergency kit I take on day hikes. It contains the barest essentials such as bandades, a multi-purpose tool, hand wipes, extra toilet paper in teeny plastic ziplock bags, chapstick.
You could never truly survive with the pared-down kit. It is more for bare necessity than for survival. I tend not to take things such as water purification tablets (in the Superstition Mountains one has no water to purify anyways, most of the year. Right NOW there is tons of water in the streams; but that's rare).
However, I don't take my emergency bivy or my biggest firestarter, etc. I take the teeny versions of such things. I tend to throw an emergency blanket in case it starts to pour if there's impending rainstorms (the Superstition Mountains are pretty reliable. You don't get rain all-of-a-sudden if there is zero chance of rain, for example).
One thing I always take is a tablespoon of cayenne pepper; being over 60 years old with a long history in the family of heart attacks and hardening-of-the-arteries. Cayenne has been known to stop a stroke or heart attack in mid-flight.
Also always carry baking soda in a teeny ziplock for when my Gerd backs-up. Tend to take one beer with me when I hike for when I stop, and that sometimes creates horrible stomach acid problems.
Carry a good compass in that kit, waterproof matches, a fire starter, etc. There's the luxury kit which is way too big to carry on day hikes. It has the huge stuff such as the Sigg box and such. Yes, it is what I take when I'm backpacking many days. That is definitely not what I take when I go hiking in the Superstitions on Saturday or Sunday, though. That is my long-distance camping kit... the one which becomes your home when danger truly arrives.
If you're hiking places where someone is bound to be by in a few minutes, the need for true survival definitely goes down. The Superstition Mountains has become overpopulated. Too much hype about it, which attracts the wannabees and soon there's people traipsing all-over. I've seen footprints out in the middle of nowhere-nowhere when I had just got up in the morning. What used to be wilderness is becoming someone's back-yard, now.
I also steal from the bigger kits to taylor what I need. Some will go into the gray tiny kit.

You will never know when you will need one, but let's pray that we don't need to use one. However, one still needs to learn and practice on using the survival kit. Its practice, practice and practice. At the same time, keeping your kits up to date, is also very important.

I put survival kits together for fun. I collect and use survival supplies for hiking, hunting, trapping, even everyday use. I spread them around in various packs and kits depending on the scenario I may need it for. Most of it just sits there packed away, however.
There's no piece of gear I don't have, so its not a matter of making sure I have the right supplies. It's mainly a matter of being able to carry all that you need or want. That stuff gets heavy quickly. I've also create "minimalist" packs that have all the basics in a very small container. You can kind of go in any direction with this PSK business. It's a lot of fun actually.

Please don't rely on a book for wild edibles. Have someone with knowledge show you exactly what plants are edible and in season.
The pictures in books of plants that I've seen right in my backyard look totally different sometimes.

Well..this is what I would do in coming up with my own survival kit..
Firstly, I would determine where I am, what climate I am facing and what are the natural disasters and animals in the area.
Then I would think:-
1. What kind of shelter would I have to make should there be an emergency.
2. Is fire making possible, are there natural tinder, is kindling available and would the wood easily catch fire. Or simply, am I in a desert, a dry forest, a wet area or marshland.
3. Will I be able to get water in that area? Should I always bring with me? Would I need to filter water?
4. Would the forest house bamboos?
5. Would the area I am in requires me to have a signalling mirror?
6. How about navigation?
These are what I would usually think and would determine what items should be in my Survival kit. It would help make my kit lighter or heavier.

Hello everyone, first post from me, Mike.
I have a very useful tip for your survival kit and which I would like everyone to spread so as to save lives. P
You may have noticed that the Tuaregs and Bedouin nomads wear a scarf around their necks and face as they cross the desert on their camels. Do you know why?
In fact it is done to save water. As a human exhales he loses a lot of water in his breath. The lungs rely on humid air to function and the air we breathe in is moistened on its way down our throat. (I found that out when I almost died from meningitis. When I woke up after 10 days in coma I was on a respirator, which was connected to an ultrasonic humidifier, which stopped every now and then. As I frantically beeped the nurses the dry air going directly into my lungs thru a long (dry) tube felt like I was breathing sand!)
Anyway, the nomads wrap a cloth around their necks and mouth so that the moisture lost when exhaling stays in the cloth and is then picked up again and reused by the inhaled air. If a bandanna is so used in a survival situation you can reduce the amount of water a person needs and save lives.
It may even be possible that in the event of a sea ditching, that sea water be used on the outside of a bandanna to moisten the incoming air, though I haven't had the opportunity to test this. Or perhaps a tube through which one can breath air moistened by seawater can be developed........
I wonder just how many people have died of thirst who could have been saved had they known this simple, evident and life saving technique.
Please insert this tip in your survival manuals and spread the word.

This is from my understanding...why do people wear robes and scraf that cover their body and face in the desert? FYI, They actually wear another set of clothes underneath the robes.
1. The items acts as a cover when they are braving sandstorms. It helps them to cover the face, protecting the eyes, ears, nose and mouth, allowing them to breath better and sand free.
2. Shields the hot sun ray, which can cause sun burn , heatstroke discomfort.
3. The wearer will sweat, and the robe helps to keep the sweat water within the robes, cooling the body.
This is what I know.....quite limited.

Yeah, thanks, Tok, my understanding is much the same.......was just seeing what Demo would say.......
I doubt the very small amount of water vapor you would capture, if you capture any, would prevent death from dehydration. Once you become dehydrated you expel less and less moisture from all sources (urine, sweat, etc). When it's 120F outside that water vapor is going to evaporate pretty quickly.

I have no doubt that everyone that has posted in this thread has honed their survival skills and are self reliant, I do on the other hand think that many people are confusing the difference between survival kit and their survival system (bug out bag).
Over the past couple decades people have been stretching the term Survival kit to mean bug out bag. This becomes more confusing seeing the 24 hour , 48 hour and 72 hour survival kits which are more like a modified day pack with extra food and water and a few other miscellaneous items
If you look at the survival kits that pilots were given for example, they were rather basic items. These kits were some basic essentials to increase the odds of survival and rescue.
Personally I would rather use anyone of your backpack setups then those survival kits sold on the internet. Almost all of the survival kits I have seen, but not all, are filled with cheaply made or subpar gear that you could buy yourself separately at a much higher quality and durability. Now and then there is some company that is putting together survival kits or bug out bags with name brand, high quality gear, but you are paying an arm and a leg for this setup, and many times you already have several items of this kit/bag that you do not need a duplicate of.
This is what i have in my EDC bag that I carry with me whenever i leave my home:
*Mini LED Flashlight ( w/extra batteries and I put a plastic cover over the flashlight contact so not to drain battery )
*Ferro rod and striker
*Magnesium bar
*Permanent Matchless Lighter & Bic Lighter
*Survival Wire Saw
*2 Mylar Solar Blankets
*Water Purification Tablets (5 tablets)
*Compressed Camp Towel ( looks like a miniature hockey puck until opened)
*Waterproof poncho that doubles as a shelter
*Fixed Blade knife
*Swiss Army Knife
*Paracord
*Dental floss or fishing line
*SoS emergency food bar(s)
*Loud whistle
*Button compass
*few feet of duct tape

I wanna be Hugh Glass. He was mauled by a bear and left for dead in the North American wilderness. Then he crawled back to civilization. Uh...well, I don't want to be mauled by a bear...and that crawling stuff is for reptiles.
The key chain on my phone has a pen, flashlight and screen poker. The phone wallet has a note pad, magnifying glass, ruler, knife, compass, saw blade, prier thingy, notes about the area that I've collected (Colorado is sorta devious about what can poison you or not.). I usually carry some first aid stuff and a headband light in my back pack. I have a magnesium strip I sometimes carry. Aspirin, just in case I have my first angina in 30 years. Dramamine. Grph! If I'm out there for a week, I'll see if I can adapt to not taking that cabinet full of medication.
The time I really have to survive, It'll probably be the time that I have none of that stuff.
Eh, I'll live until I die. It's worked for 68 years and I won't be particularly surprised when it ends. I survive on my wits.

My reason for being a member here is because this site doesn't tolerate SPAM in any form unless it comes in a can. Meaning as you noticed 2 posts and you were out of here.

Many call them "fish mox" that translates to antibiotics for fish. As if I'm telling you something you didn't already know. :lol:
The key is knowing which antibiotic to use for what issue.
Of interest, antibiotic comes from two ancient Greek(?) words; anti or against and bios meaning life.

The other things that may be considered key are dosage and overuse, causing resistance to the antibiotic.

As the Brits would say "Spot on."
Even medical professionals make mistakes. I was treated for a disease and it turned out to be a cracked tooth that was infected.

When it comes to survival kits, Ive found that keeping it simple but complete makes all the difference fire, water, shelter, and first aid are always my priorities. One item I really like is the MFH Survival Tin from military.eu, since its compact, easy to carry, and packs the basics youd actually use in the field.

I recently got this first aid kit: military eu/en/p/aedmax/aedmax-trauma-kit-modular-first-aid-kit-tactical-248873 and honestly it gives me a lot of peace of mind. Its well organized, modular, and has everything youd actually want to have in a critical situation.
