[Fonly]

eh... i was taking summer courses at university and this week was all exams and term papers... but now that i'm free for two weeks i get to go play in the woods with my toys

i generally travel around the lower mainland... interms of hiking.. when i go somewhere in which i dont wanna be disturbed i pack it on old dirt logging roads through the central interior or over on the island..

cheers.

p.s. hows north alberta anyways?

Its getting quite cool, and we've been having some wicked storms. Had three Tornado warnings.

But, I was looking forward to heading back to NS at the end of the summer, Now IM not going untill the end of September. only a month more, but its a month away from the ol' lady.

And thats just it.

The thing I like most about this is its not only limited to the woods, I can take it where ever I go. That and its a good size, plus it blends in, everony have a camera, and everyone carries it. If SHTF, people wouldn't look twice, there would be lots of people with cameras.

One of the advantages of your 'survival' kit being a regularly used possibles kit is that you get a better idea of what works and doesn't work, and what you really need when under various conditions.

Often what seems like a great idea for a compact kit is just worthless when pressed into actual use.

Part of the idea is a combo bug-out & traveling kit. It's my normal first aid and sewing kit when traveling, but it's also what I have to rely upon if something bad happens, like say a local revolution, nuclear meltdown, etc, and I have to make a run for the nearest border, be it donkey, train, ride in the back of a truck, on foot, etc. The concept is that if I have to, and I need travel really light and ditch the luggage and clothes, to just grab it and a couple of other small items and get out of dodge.

In todays modern world, a 'survival kit' purely for the wilderness can be handy sometimes, but most often what you need on a day to day basis is really an E&E kit with stuff for both urban and rural environments in addition to ordinary travel. A small travel kit with a few 'what-ifs' tossed in is generally what you need and far more handy and practical than most 'survival kits' I've seen.
