Humn. Good beginning, but are you asking yourself about the survival scenarios?
1) Where's my survival pack when I need it?
2) If I become unconscious for any reason, it my critical personal info anywhere in that pack?
3) Where's the water & energy for 24-48 hrs?
4) Also, the book's contents should be memorized and the book placed on a bookshelf at home. You will not be able to use much of the info in it unless it's already embedded in your memory come emergency time.
I see the space blanket and that's good but I also see 3 different ways to make a fire and starter sticks too. Too much perhaps? the lighter, cotton and Swedish Steel ( back-up) are enough. most of the problem is not in starting the fire, but rather in keeping it fueled.
The pens are good. I use Fisher space pens and don't forget the Rite in the Rain pads!
Multitool is of questionable use . The SAK & sheath knife are fine though.
Moodino,
Thanks for the input and sound advice. Again though, this isn't my primary pack. Just a pack I keep in the Jeep in case I see a road and wonder where it goes , break down...etc. I had it in repackin it and just wanted to share pics
But to answer the question's:
1) Where's my survival pack when I need it?
(Behind the back seat next to the water, Camp axe and roadside emergency kit)
2) If I become unconscious for any reason, it my critical personal info anywhere in that pack?
(nope, its either in the glove box with my other vehicle info or in my wallet if Im walking )
3) Where's the water & energy for 24-48 hrs?
(behind the back seat next to my pack)
4) Also, the book's contents should be memorized and the book placed on a bookshelf at home. You will not be able to use much of the info in it unless it's already embedded in your memory come emergency time.
(Heres one I dont agree with ya on. Yes, Unpracticed skills are not skills at all. And attempting to put theory into practice in an emergency situation without prior practice will most likely get ya killed, All True. Survival skills are something I practice any chance I have.. Love my outdoors! However, also fact is that alot of survival / fire / shelter skills are "Fine Motor Skills" and under stress or a good dose of pain they will be the first thing dumped by the brain. Anyone ever tried to remember everything you've ever learned with a broken leg? So, if you can carry a reference, then why wouldnt you? One thing it wont do is help save my butt on a bookshelf
P.S. but I also see 3 different ways to make a fire and starter sticks too. Too much perhaps? (I've never been accused of being a minimalist
