My personal surtvival kit includes,
at least 1 minimag lite,
sure fire light
Leathermaqn PST,4sq ft of aluminum foil, a pocket sewing kit with buttons and sewing needles magnatized,
a similar vial of Potassium permanganate for antiseptic water purification duty,
a lil sparky fire starting tool.
At least one good folding knife often more than one.
Each keychain I carry two has a Vitrinox swiss army knife with red LED, A photon III white LED light, sterile waxed dental floss
A large zip lock bag and a smaller one,
a small signal mirror,
a couple of hooks and often a boat meteor type signal flare fully contained(I use an expired one from the boat).

Along with this is my sidearm and backup (both .45acp and at least 40 rounds of ammunition). I figure no matter what I can at least get to a cache or my vehicle if nothing else.

Great minds.......:o) It took me a long time to seperate ultralight camping from "survival". BTW I forgot to mention that I carry a small section of a diamond coated hacksaw blade that I also have filed to use as a spear point on a pole spear,... back side is sharpened to razor duty and the small back edge has a gut hook that I ground into it. Added a small lanyard hole. Great little tool for catching, cleaning, dressing game and fish.

Also all my shoe and boot laces have been changed to 550 para cord that I fire whip and as they come in different colors it works in all my shoes and boots as a emergency source of line for gill nets , sewing repairs and such.

Stay Safe !
