Non-Stick Cook Pot (Qty.1) – Quality, rigid steel construction with non-stick coating. Stores the kit contents and protects them from damage. Unlike other kits, you don't have to worry about crushing if you fall or sit on it. Used to quickly boil and purify drinking water and for general camp cooking tasks.

4

TARP – ULTRA THIN – 9’ x 6’ (Qty.1) – Large enough to cover and waterproof a shelter for several people, yet I fold these into a packet smaller than a deck of playing cards. This fits well in the kit, or in your pocket. Awesome kit item… you won’t find anything like this in other survival kits.

Survival Blanket – Silver Mylar - 84" x 52” (Qty.1)  – These are thinner and pack smaller than other survival blankets you may have seen. I sourced these specially for this purpose. Reflects body heat inwards to help keep you warm. Use as a signaling device, or to reflect fire heat towards you. Can also be used as a poncho, wind break or ground cloth.

Slingshot Bands (Qty.1 set) -  These are a ‘wraparound’ double band style that makes it VERY easy to quickly construct a slingshot using a forked stick. I use key rings from the flashlights to attach these.  Also use to make a Hawaiian fishing spear.

7

Multi Tool (qty.1)  – Stainless steel knife/tool set provides blade, pliers, wood saw, can & bottle opener, file, screwdrivers, scissors, awl magnifying glass and more. I sourced these specifically for the saw and pliers. The pliers are invaluable for moving cook pots in and out of the fire. The saw is aggressive and makes short work of saplings and small limbs.

8

Ferro Rod and Striker (qty.1) – about 3/8” diameter by 3” long striking surface. Has a molded handle with cord loop. Striker is hardened steel, and sharpened along one edge. Unit has a varnish coating to protect from oxidation. Shave this coating off one side of the rod before using. Metallurgy designed with extra magnesium so you can shave it for tinder as well as sparks. Make a small pile of shavings, then flip a spark into it to make a white hot flame.

9

Compass (qty.1)  – A large compass compared to the button compasses you get in most survival kits. This is about 2” diameter and over ¼” thick. It's filled with mineral oil for movement dampening, and is freeze-proof. Degree markings. A decent quality compass, and big enough for easy navigation.

Ultra Bright Micro Light (qty.2) – These white LED mini lights last more than 24 hours each in my testing, and put out a LOT of light for their size. I provide two of these in the kit. One of the best features on these is that they have both a squeeze activation and also an on/off switch for constant, hands-free light. When camping, I wear two of these on a cord around my neck. A quick squeeze if I need to momentarily check something. I switch one on to light the area in front of me if I'm working on something around camp. I turn both on for maximum lighting when I'm walking into the woods to get firewood. When it's time to turn in, I take that same cord, and hang it from my tent's gear loft as an overhead tent light.

Strobe Light (qty.1) – This unit is the same size and brightness as the Micro Lights, but it's a strobe light for signaling. It can be seen from a long distance at night. Batteries last a LONG time... more than 40 hours of fairly strong strobe and then waning in brightness over the next 20 hours in my testing. This means that when set up and used for 2 hours per night of signaling, these will last about a month. With 4 hours signaling per night, they last about 2 weeks, and signaling for 8 hours (overnight), about a week.

12

Micro ‘Trench’ Lighter – Flint/fuel based refillable aluminum lighter has a screw top with a watertight airtight gasket. These will run on pretty much any flammable liquid (gas, kerosene, Zippo fluid, Coleman fuel, lamp oil, alcohol, etc). These use standard Zippo style flints and wicks, so they might just last you a lifetime.

13

Watertight Aluminum Match/Tinder Case (qty.1)  – Same size as the Micro Lighter. Store tinder, matches, medications, etc… you decide. These are great little containers for those items that absolutely MUST stay dry.

14

Emergency Signal Whistle (qty.1)  – A LOUD whistle for signaling to rescuers or trail companions should you become separated. Much more effective than yelling. Has a belt clip and a lanyard hole.

15

Water Purification Kit with Dosage Instructions - Holds enough to purify more than 50 gallons of water. Fill canteen or bottle from streams, ponds, puddles or swamps. Following the printed instructions, add drops and wait 15-20 minutes and water is safe to drink. Refill this dropper as needed... full instructions provided.

16

Braided SPECTRA Line 100Lb test - 50 Foot Spool - Stronger than Kevlar or steel, Spectra fiber is used in the latest bulletproof vests. In stores and online, you'll pay anywhere from 6 to 10 cents a foot. It's normally only available in big spools costing from $50 up to $200 or more. Use it as primary cordage for shelters, bow strings, lashing, fishing, or anywhere else you need extremely tough cord. Spooled on a 10D nail.

17

Steel Snare/trip Wire – (approx 15’) Annealed steel wire at the perfect hardness for making small game snares. Also use for trip lines, repairing/making gear, etc. Approximately 15’ spooled around a 10D nail. The nail is also useful for shelters, spear tips, etc.

18

Petroleum Jelly Fire Starters (6) – These light very well with a spark from the Ferrocerium rod. They are quite large, and each will burn for several minutes allowing you to easily start a fire, even in somewhat poor conditions. They come tightly packed in a small resealable zip bag. The petroleum jelly is also useful for treating chapped lips, dry skin and small wounds.

Waterproof Kit Manual/Basic Survival Guide and Note Pad – Small waterproof paper survival guide with extra pages for your notes. Use to take notes, leave directions for rescue, use as tinder, etc

Scalpel Blades (qty.2) – Sharp, sharp, sharp! These can be lashed to a small twig for use in skinning, gutting, cleaning, etc, and they also serve as formidable arrow/spear tips.

Fish Hook Assortment – Qty 10 - Various Sizes – Can be used individually, but I recommend using most or all of these at once along a single line (see Absentee Fishing). Approx Retail $2
