And for warmer weather its Fine I usually go Car camping with a group base camp then Day hike out so thats why i have what I need In case I get lost, or my hiking partner or I get hurt.You can survive on a lot less but I like being very prepared.

Fanny pack Side kit
by: Anonymous

You are absolutley right, I didnt specify, but I carry the Essentials In a Fanny pack, Its an old 8x12x4 Stansport with bottle pouches on either side I Started using it just to carry the water and stick stuff in it for short trips away from the camp site. But soon got tired of transferring stuff back and forth, Its nice because It has a padding on the waist strap that reaches to the side of my hips and Its easy to add pouches like my leatherman pouch and a small flashlight pouch. Also I can carry my 22lr pistol in a hip holster comfortably and concealed. So in my fanny pack I carry my Ultimate survival kit with extras crammed in, a small med kit, 2 cliff bars, my space blanket bag, and a black hefty leaf bag (to sleep in) 60ft of paracord, a small fishing kit, an old snuff can full of cotton balls and shavings Of fatwood fire starter. Also my Esbit stove is tossed in there, oh and Duct tape, (wrapped around a card I stole that idea from nutnfancy). My leatherman core and a flashlight are also attached as I mentioned before. A few other things are tossed in. So all that together with my water (but not including the 2lbs of gun and 5 mags) weighs between 5 and 8 lbs. And its comfortable to wear because of the padded straps. The best thing is is there is still a little bit of room for other small stuff. I realize a fanny pack isnt the most appealing of ideas or the most fashionable but I will be alive if I lose my pack or if I get hurt and cant carry a backpack, I dont even notice the fanny pack anymore, especially if I dont have a back pack. Ill turn it around and actually wear it as a fanny pack, instead of wearing it in the front like I do with something on my back. Also having weight low like that, instead of carrying in a backpack makes it easier to balance on rocks or wet logs So I will be less likely to slip and fall. Wearing a bag to save me if I get hurt and cant carry my backpack helps prevent me from getting hurt, Convenient right? Also your point of Actually using your survival/emergency gear is something people seem to overlook, I camp with all my stuff so I know it works, A spacebag inside a lawn and leaf bag, with a layer of leaves or pine needles between them will keep you warm enough to sleep on snow, Use the drawstrings to cinch around your neck and trap the heat in like a mummy sleeping bag.

bug out kit
by: Carl Rooke

What you have is a very good, well thought out bug out kit. Seems to have covered most of the basics.

However, what about the very real possibility of becomeing separated from your kit? Even if only camping?

You might lose it to a fire. A fast moving forest fire is a real possibility. Someone might steal it. Or you might simply walk away from camp, and get turned around. This kit is so heavey, you are very unlikely to have it on your person.

My suggestion is to also have some kind of pocket sized kit. Something that would not be a burden to have on you at all times. Some simple but effective way to start a fire, collect water and boil it, some fish hooks and line. And an extra knife. And practise using it.
