My complete? Survival kit (Pict heavy) please criticize

Too many freaking knives ill tell ya' what.

Keep the RTAK for sure, and either the OHT or the Leatherman depending on what you like better. Keep the razor blades as well.

Use the weight you saved to add more .410 shells.

And where is your water?
 
Then there's Mason's Line - available in the big box stores. It's about 1mm in diameter and a lot cheaper than branded fishing line. Comes in white, orange, and yellow - that I know of.
 
...and on the third hand, there's whipping twine. Comes in several different sizes, won't rot, and is wax coated to hold knots well.

I've had good luck with the Marlow product. Shop around and you can get most size/color combinations you want, if you're picky about color. :thumbup:
 
I really like your kit. I think such a comprehensive first aid kit should have QR powder though.

Other than that. Bueno.
 
Add a Trangia alcohol burner so that you can have hot food without a smokey fire. You can power it from your Nalgene flask of Bacardi 151!

Ditch the .40 and get a Smith 317 in .22 LR.

Snow Peak Trek 700 titanium pot, instead of the heavy stainless cup.

Keep the M6 Scout. Have you hunted with it yet? If you can't make it work in the hunting fields, don't assume it will work in some desperate survival situation. Personally, I've done well with mine. But, you have to have excellent fire discipline and very respectable marksmanship to do well with it. Otherwise you'd be better off with an accurate, scoped, lightweight semiauto .22

Good luck with all this.
 
I should add:
You need salt, olive oil and foil.
Small game freshly shot with your M6 should be salted, dashed with olive oil and garlic powder and wrapped in foil like a packet. Bake in some coals, or "simmer" it on top of your alcohol stove.

Small game is dry, and needs some added fat. Salt, you would have figured out with the first unpleasant mouthful :)
 
I have been a Vest man for years. I wore them a lot doing carpenter work to carry lots of tool up ladders and scaffolds. I wear them for hunting and fishing as well. Same reason .
 
I have to admit, not all wild game is the delicacy some make it out to be. But I will never get over people boiling squirrels or pissbagging about "gamey" taste, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum... My mother used to totally **** up venison, she just had to soak it in salt water after my Dad died. Why? "It tastes better, it tastes like beef..." Yeah, well, if I wanted beef, I'd have beef. :D

Just in response to that last post that I missed a long time ago, up there right before Jim's.
