Pocket survival kit

[JollyRogers]

I don't use the knife blade to start fires as shown. I use the back edge where the grooves are cut to save the blade.

I got one for Christmas and it is good enough as an every day carry knife that I decided to start stocking them.

Shoot me a PM if anyone wants one of these as I am putting in an order soon to stock up for trade season.

If it's okay with Jason, I'll send them out at cost + shipping to anyone here. I don't think this violates the rules, but please feel free to delete this and correct me if I'm wrong.

All I keep in my pockets are the compass and the camping knife. I hardly think a fire-starter would be of great necessity for survival, unless you're in a mountain area... If you're starving, you can hunt and eat the meat raw.

Fire is a great way to keep warm, uplift your spirits and calm you down in rough times. Even a small fire can have a change on your whole mental attitude.

Also, fire is how you make water safe to drink. Which is key, unless you like spending your survival situation time in the bushes wishing you had more TP.

I'm the same way Freedommachine, Not much for the whole pocket thing and will carry my pack just to be on the safe side. The smallest survival kit I have is one on my knife sheath. I figure that if I don't have that with me, I don't have any business being out in the woods first place.

I keep small survival kits and first aid kits in strategic places. My two vehicles have them, one in the boat, one in my trailer, one in my backpack.

Other I forgot to mention are
*Cafine pills(if you are already standed,a good way to attempt a clearer mind)
*Asprin or other pain/headache medicine. (Take with 2 cafine pills, makes you feel pretty good)
*Finger nail clippers(broken toe nail,finger nail can be realy annoying)
*Cotton balls(great fire starters)
*Small sewing kit(2 needles and black/white thread)

Yes its is a lot but if I am stranded,hurt,sick etc. I would rather have it all.
