Various Survival Kits?

[Gunny Webb]

Kit depends on person, settings, weather, and situation. A person who needed to get cross town in a blackout has a whole different need from say a man in Maine who had to go through two feet of snow for 15 miles.
Average needs are
1 water and possibly water filtration, 2 water bottles
2 two to three days rations
3 proper exposure protection-clothes and possibly a type of shelter
4 meds you take and first aid kit
5 way to make fire
6 signal device
7 flashlight
8 knife or other small cutting device
9 metal pot or army canteen cup
10 large garbage bag
11 100 feet 550 paracord
12 proper footware, ie good walking shoes or boots
13 metal spoon or spork, plastic bowl and small towel
14 backpack to put your goodies in

Anyone with a little sense and access to the internet can learn to get themselves home or to safety with those items and go 10-20 miles if needed.
We aren't talking go blow 500 dollars on a suvival kit, you can get the ball rolling and have a basic kit for less than $100 with a little shoppping and hunting around. You may have half of it layng around already.

You can add extras later like a small radio, gloves, copy of person documents on thumb drive, extra batteries, some cash.
