Isn't the whole point of a survival kit to carry as little (and effective) items as possible?
Hm, same thing as saurabhfzd, only a few additions.
1. Survival Knife.
2. A relatively sturdy bowl. (To make food)
3. A LIGHTER! (Yes, it runs out but it may be used for more than lighting campfires. xD)
i think the point of a survival kit is to survive a disaster >_>
while it is true that traveling light will let you go further and faster, most people's little bug out bags wont last more than 72 hours....so when im putting together my system im thinking about what's more important to me, traveling lighter, or [increasing my chances of]living longer.
Well, of course, that's in the name. xD
That was kind of what I meant, yes. 'Though I also thought you meant survival kits for being far away from civilization, and not neccesarily disaster.
