Hey guys this is basicly just all the crap I was keeping in my backpack and just decided to see if I could stuff it into my 1040 case. I kinda call it my Urban survival kit. I was going to see if you could think of any other usefull things to include. As of now it holds--

2 Bags of green tea.
1 Large band aid
3 Band aids
3 AA batterys for GPS
2 Coughdrops
10 Pain killers
2 Surefire batterys
2 Anti diarrhea
1 Hand wipe
5 Anti allargy
1 Set of fingernail clipers
1 6P SUREFIRE
1 Set of tweezers
1 Leatherman wave
1 Trashbag
1 Stick of chapstick
1 Small lighter
1 Protein bar

These are things I seem to use and need alot. I guess thats why they were in my backpack in the first place. What other things would you include in something like this?

you plan to 'survive' what? For how long? Under what conditions? Green Tea? Why not Lipton regular?

No gun? :cool:

My question is this: What in your "kit" really requires such a bulky level of water and impact protection?

I liked the quoted kit.:rolleyes:

I can think of a ton of things, urban, therefor car accident, anychance of earth quakes, falling, a number of things could happen that would normally make the contents of a soft kit usless.

Thats just a guess anyways.:D
 
I think that people are taking my little kit a little to seriously. I will call it more of a creature comfort kit. The "urban kit" was kinda a joke. As for the 1040 case, that's what I had and it lives in my backpack. Its not very heavy when there is two meals in there also. As for the gun, like I said it lives in my backpack meaning it goes into both buildings where I work. Both having a no weapon policy. It is just a condensing of what was there already. Survival time - more like surviving a work day if I need something or would like a snack when away from lunch. I also just like green tea more. LoL.

I could see taking a tumble in the mad rush down a stair case, dropping you and your kit to the ground coming out a window, traveling hallways in the sprinkler flow. Having ditch you pack to keep from getting it taken...I can see a few reasons for it myself. I am working on the same sort of set up for mine but maybe with Otter boxes I'm not sure yet. I keep my camera in a Pelican 110 case when it's in my pack...but I'm going to buy one Otter case also to see which I like better.
 
Looks good. I would ditch the fingernail clippers and add a small sewing kit w/ buttons and safety pins and a roll of dental floss, busted out of the plastic carrier of course.

My idea of a good kit is all the things that you regularly use, or at one time or another could have used, if this fits that criteria for you then it is perfect. I am not too big on hauling stuff around based on theoritical what ifs, if you do that then pretty soon you need a pick up to haul your stuff around. Chris
 
The use of the Trangia 210 Mess Tin (which has a lid and an insulated, removable handle) in place of a Peli Micro Case gives you a water container, boiler and cook pot! Size, 6.5 x 3.5 x 2.6 inches.

Trangia make the same size Mess Tin without the handle, and a larger version, also without a handle. Size, 7.8 x 5.1 x 2.8 inches.

The Trangia enhances the versatility of a PSK container.
