Survival Gear

As long as we are on the topics of putting lists together, Survival
Gear is another topic we haven't covered.

I have three "kits". One that wear, another is a daypack, the third is
a dedicated first aid kit in a lumbar pack.

The one I wear is a fishing vest with immediate essentials stuffed in
the interior and exterior pockets. "If it isn't on you, it's not going
out the door with you." (handheld strobe, foil juice pouches, fire
starter kit, dried fruit, LED flashlight, pen and paper,
wind/waterproof jacket/pants, spaceblanket, bandana, sunglasses,
handheld GPS, pocket first aid kit, chemical light sticks)

The daypack (2600 cu in) contains more long-term survival items.
(water purifier, 5 liter hydration pouch, two 1 liter water bottles,
liquid fuel stove, plates/cups/utensils, lightweight shelter, LED
headlamp, handheld strobe, first aid kit, Swiss Army knife, multi-tool,
all-weather lighter, micro-fleece blanket, space blanket, bandana)

The first aid kit is made up of items found in an AvWeb article. It
transfers between the van and the airplane. Also, I would urge all of
you to take Red Cross First Aid class(es).
