Nice set-up. Coffee is a must that I forgot, along with my button compass. Thanks for the reminders!

I threw this together to ride in my hunting pack.

I will always be slightly overdressed for the weather and carrying 2-3 contractors bags with it for meat, shelter, etc (not pictured). I almost always have a protein bar or snack in the lid too (not pictured).

Its a modern day take on the tobacco pouch possibles kit.

The pouch is a NOS sealine drybag I picked up from the auction site. I replaced the cord with six-ish feet of paracord.



Inside is an altoids tin held shut with two ranger bandd, a signal mirror, fresnel lense, a flashlight, some chapstick w/hidden tinder, 4ft bankline, and a wenger soldat alox with lanyard.





Inside of the tin is:



a home made jute candle
- ferro rod w/duct tape handle
- whirlpak bag (need to add tabs)
- mini bic ziptied closed
- charred lamp wick
- two home made tinder tabs
- length of micro cord
- flint/steel striker that can also be used w/ferro
- eight small zipties for making shelter

As was probably apparent from my initial submission, I tend to be more of a Personal Survival Kit kinda guy than a Pocket Survival Kit kinda guy. I’ll generally have some gear in pockets, some in my bag, and some on a belt. But should my belt fall off and a wild bear chase me away from my pack, this is what I’d like to have in my pockets.



This kit was designed around rescue. In the event it would ever be needed, the Garmin Inreach would likely be the first thing used followed by the hand-warmer. After that I would find a natural shelter (these are generally rather easy to find in my AO) or toss up a rough and dirty brush shelter. The fire kit consists of some fatwood, a lighter, pocket bellows, ferro rod, and fresnel lens and would probably be the next thing to pull out. Should I get thirsty, the MRE hot water bag has a couple of micropur tablets still in their foil rolled up in it, and should I get hungry I would typically have a cliff bar or similar in a pocket. The whistle on the ferro rod, as well as the flashlight, chem light, and signal card, can all be utilized to attract the attention of the search party when they reach the area.



Here is the kit packed in an Esee sheath pouch and paired with a pocket first aid kit. When I complete the “build a first aid kit” elective, I plan on including a space blanket or reflective poncho from SOL as added shelter elements.
