A little more than a PSK.

[sumoj275]

Thanks for this thread. I have a few new ideas to put in my pack. I keep a few zip ties of various sizes in my kit too--can come in handy at times.

Looks like a nice kit. Aside from a few of the things mentioned to add, there isn't anything I can think of at the moment to add. :thumbup:

Crimson-
i ordered 15 from steve spangler science. they were cheaper than most places and i knew some buddies would want some so i got extra.

Tea light size candle goes in all my kits.

Great looking kit, I need to get some of those preforms they look great.

Looks good, I have the same type of folding utility blade in mine. Use it as my main striker on flint rod as the thin sharp edge throws a nice spark.

That fishing set in a tube is ingenious! But, at the risk of revealing my new-ness, what is a PSK?

that was the main reason for it. i like to use jigsaw blades for strikers as they are very hard and seem to work really well.

do the crackers not go with it? bear gryills could live 3 years off those things

 

[skinz0021]

no the crackers were left over from the snow day food i had.

 

[skinz0021]

well i added the mini bic, para cord, zip ties, streamlight microstream and looks like an OD/G10 esee4 will be included.

Where do you guys get those "preforms?"

Where do you guys get those "preforms?"

bepreparedtosurvive.com or steve spangler science are the best places i found.

As for flashlights input my vote for fenix.

They're cheap, really bright, ipx8 rated, and run off common batteries
I've got three of them and one is a little AAA battery edc light I got from Rei outlet for really cheap! But they make great lights and have a very long range. Same quality as a surefire for a fraction the cost.

i switch between a microstream and two fenix lights. the fenix lights are both 6 mode one is single 123 and the other is dual 123.

i like them all but in this case the microstream is 2x the output of the single aaa fenix, from what i read about them.

 

[texastonydobbs]

I've been carry a micro stream for a long while and for it's size & light output from a single AAA hard to beat ,I picked up 3 more a while back

 

[adaman04]

TTD introduced me to the Microstream via his PSK pics. I’ve got a couple of them and god a Stylus Pro 2 AAA for Christmas to try. I really like the Stylus if you have room for the extra length. But I’m more and more becoming a big fan of the headlamp. I was never a fan, but now if there’s room in the kit, a headlamp is going in.

 

[texastonydobbs]

I keep a headlamp in my bag ,Petzl tikka II but I wear it around my neck so not to blind folks while talking to 'em

 

[skinz0021]

ill be looking into the headlamp for my bags. for this kit that would take up too much space. its pretty packed in there as it is. but i think i have some good stuff in there for him. once the last few items show up ill post the completed pic.
