Ok, new contest for you survival nuts :)

[coolathlon]

Moin,
I have some more ideas for the ultimate kit.



My list contains

- duct-tape for connecting thinks and repair broken clothes or a tent
- (selfmade) RC knife for disconnecting things, the (not existing) sheath is placed on top of the bag
- mirror: giving signals, looking for wounds on your back or so
- sharpening stick
- full (instant cooking) or empty (need to look for food) tin that can be used for cooking, eating, washing
- extremely loud wistle: ACME Tornado 2000
- fire steel
- paracord
- earplugs, 3 of them, if one disappears; for a nice night in urban areas or next to the loud guy in the tent
- torch with backup batteries
- LM with screwdriver, saw and nippers
- compass
- map of the area you're in or the compass is useless
- safety pins
- shackles and some hooks for connection of things, where the paracord fails or is too unsecure
- lipbalm
- soap
- ointment for treating small wounds
- sunscreen
- thermos bottle
- emergency blanket; in the waterproof bag there are the batteries for the torch
- 2 small and a big first aid kit (Bundeswehr version this time)
- NVA bag, that can carry a (possible) knive sheath on top
- towel, as signal for help and securing you're dry; also it is a good damping, placed in the right way between the other things it portects them from destroying each other

Everything fits to the bag. There is still some room for a bigger towel or so. You only have 2 things to do before going outside: Filling up the water/tea/coffe and attaching the bag to your belt. In that position it is quite easy to reach the knive with one hand.

Good kit but is that RC made out of Cardboard ?

I too added to my kit an Orange G10 scaled BRK&T Mini Canadian to my RC4 outfit as well( no pic though )..

Probably going to let this thread run a while longer before finishing out the contest. Some folks are just now getting their RC knives.

I have this prototype in from Bill Siegle that will will award the winner but I just haven't had time to get this photographed and up on the forums.

Also, once we get ready to judge this, I'll probably go through and pull just the kit posts out so we can look at it in a more focused way.

I don't have a RC knife anymore, but i thought you guys might like to hear a description of my kit so here it is:

This is my survival kit:

1 heatsheet space blanket
12 ft. of paracord
1 Fox 40 micro whistle
1 Rescueflash signal mirror
1 Mini magnesium firestarter
1 spark-lite firestarter
14 tinder-quick
1 bottle of potable aqua tablets
1 brunton mini compass
1 photon mini light
1 mini first aid kit
1 razor blade that folds into its handle
1 1qt. zip-loc bag
3ft. HD tin foil
survival instructions from Ritter pocket kit

This is all packaged in a 1/2 qt. "lock&lock" rubbermaid dish. The dish has markings on it for a 1/2 qt. to measure water to purify.

A few things to consider. I am carrying this kit while hunting and covering a lot of ground. I have tried carrying more, but I have found I am way more likely to leave the kit behind if its any bigger. I also carry a K&M matchcase loaded with 30 matches, a good fixed blade knife, a gerber telescopic saw, Fenix L1D light, two more compasses, and a 16. oz nalgene bottle with a snow peek 300 titanium mug around it.

What do you guys think? I know it lacks, but at least it will be carried. Thanks.

Good Kit but needs one thing just from scanning over the list an RC knife. I remember your rat3 being stolen sorry to hear...but the silver lining is you can buy a RC3/4 or 6 now to compliment your kit. thanks for sharing !

 

[troutfisher13111]

It was a RC3 that was stolen, but someone was kind enough to hook me up with a D2 RAT 3!

 

[texastonydobbs]

did it have a Tan sheath ? d2 rat3 ? if so it was mine I sold to him a week or so ago.

 

[troutfisher13111]

No, it was something someone had recieved in exchange for sheath work. It was given to me free of charge by a very generous friend!!!

 

[texastonydobbs]

Good friend ...

Hello everyone , New here, just got the RC 4 haven’t had time to field test it yet, but it looks to be a real solid design. I really like the finish and the Micarta handle materials. I’m going to put it through the ropes this weekend. Great Idea for a contest I may be to late for it, but thought I would share this Idea with you all.

[/IMG]

Here’s a few photos of something I was playing around with. The materials were cut from Chech Woodland pattern similar to the British DPM Pattern. These were two different pouches sewn together from the lower pockets of the right trouser leg. Mil spec Webbing was added between the pockets to provide spare storage an lashing capability. I also added Velcro closure to secure the load better. The kit is attached to the knife with Para cord and webbing that slides right under the Molle attachment for easy on easy off.

Thanks Tex , I tried out the RC4 this weekend, used it to make a few figure 4 traps. & Spring snares it's a Great knife , razor sharp as well, I'm going to see how long I can go without having to sharpen it. So far seems to have good edge retention.
