Hi all I am interested in the mini kits you are talking about. My personal survival kit is not small. It fits in a pouch that I carry on my belt or web gear. I would love to get Ron Hoods video on the personal mini kit but just dont have the money. I am getting married and going to school at the same time so funds are short. Could someone please help me out. I would like all the info that I can get on how to set up a mini kit like he makes in his video. Please help me out. I have a few of his videos that I might be willing to trade a video for a video. But please give me info on mini kits. Thanks. Geoff.

make a kit that fits your needs.... however, i advise that it have items which allow you to, in some way or another, meet your 'five survival essentials'
recall that they are-
1. personal protection - clothing, shelter, fire.
2. signaling
3. sustenance - water and food procurement
4. travel - with and without a map and compass
5. health - psychological stress, environmental and traumatic injuries.
