What are you keeping your kit in, and do you have any pics?

Most kits are site specific, what I mean is one for the car one for the home one for the office and a personal one.

Is your kit designed to support 1, 2 or more?

Looks like you have a heavy kit, oh yea you might want to include an antibiotic in the firstaid kit.

Biaxin or something to fight off infections.

Have you checked out Doug Ritter's site?

He has a LOT of useful info.

You might consider a Blast Match or Spark-Lite for one-handed fire lighting.
A gill-net would be one of the easiest methods of catching fish...WARNING...They are illegal in most places for NORMAL fishing, but for survival you will normally not have any problems.
Speed-hooks are also good for fishing and trapping, but they are also illegal in most places. Be sure and get the military version of the Speed-hook, it comes already set up with hook, line, and bait.

If you can afford the weight, a jungle hammock would solve a LOT of shelter problems...Staying off the ground would seem like a good idea in that climate.

Carry one of the small metal pencil sharpeners, you can make GOOD tinder FAST with one, and the good metal ones are actually made of magnesium, so you would have another backup tinder in case you have a REALLY hard time starting a fire. Remember, you can use it on ANY stick you find to make tinder, not just the pencil.

Bring some stainless steel wire also.

Include one or two of the Israeli military bandages...The one I carry has two pads on one bandage, so that you can cover both sides of a through-and-through puncture wound(the second pad slides along the gauss so that you can position it as needed. It is very easy to fall and stab yourself on a stick, and if it is on an arm, you will find it almost impossible to treat it yourself if most civilian first aid gear...The military stuff is designed so that you can apply it with one hand, and that can make all the difference in the world! They do not weight hardly anything, but they are a bit bulky, but worth it.

More if I think of it.

K, For a start i already carry rubber inner tubes, tinder fungues, bandages, magnesium and a pencil as tinder so i do think thats is in fact enough.

For fishing part, i am bringing this kit along with my fishing gear when i go outdoors

Spark-lit has been getting sum bad comments latey and i find that it is pricey and hard to get in my country a quater of the things here are ordered from the US and i'm only 15+ so it is expensive to bring over.

Blast match is good but in the jungle you are surrounded by soft rotting vegetation and rocks are hard to come by to use as your striking surface
an exeption if I am near limestone cliffs or granite quarries

Hmm... i think i'll get a hamok

 

[wadly]

Biaxin or something to fight off infections.

so do you mean a anti-fungial cream or sumthing like that or and anti bactrial agent?

and if you would like to know i would also be carrying
Hundreds of hooks
80+ sinkers
500m+ fishing line
fishing rods up to 5-6?
reels spinning and baitcast
Lures
and other fishing stuff together with canned food and bottled water
this stuff is to help me in my bashing, sleeping and wadever chores i have.
BUT i ALSO use it part and parcel as my bug out and as a last resort a survival kit if the need arises.

thankz,
wadly

It seems to me that you have a very complete and useful kit assembled. Let me just chat away about things that struck me -- just ideas, not really a critique. These are things that others have included, not necessarily things you need to add or change.

First of all, I'd also like to suggest that you consider the Sparklite and its tinder in addition to your fire gear. The one-hand operation makes it really worthwhile. Have you tried starting a fire with one hand using your current gear?

Going by categories, here are some things I didn't see, or things you might consider changing...

Medical
- lip balm
- sun screen
- latex gloves
- dental floss
- toothbrush
- first aid booklet (for others)

Shelter
- mosquito head net
- work gloves
- sun glasses
- a single tube-tent in place of the space blanket and groundsheet
- a hammock and tarp in place of other shelter stuff

Fire
- SparkLite (as above)
- tea light candles

Signals
- a cheat sheet - list of gear in the kit and what it's for (for others)
- an AM/FM/TV/Weather radio to listen for weather, monitor the searchers' progress as they hunt for you, or to pass the time
- local map

Water
- siphon tube (surgical rubber tubing doubles as slingshot or trap rubber)
- sponge for gathering dew

Food
- less catching and trapping gear if it's a 3-day kit
- pot, unless your mess kit is good for boiling water and food

Tools
- you've got LOTS of cutting power, but some of us don't mind the weight
- if you wanted to minimize, one way to go would be to use the Revolver alone for knife and saw, and a machete for chopping and digging
- mason's twine as a ready source of light cordage
- stick of hot glue
- needles that will take the mason's twine or paracord core for rough repairs, in addition to regular sewing kit stuff

Like I said, just some ideas for you to play around with.
