In this issue we will be covering Survival kits.
A survival kit should be light enough to hike with yet still cover your essential needs. Food, Water, Shelter, Fire, etc.
Here is a list I made a while back. Its not my exact kit, but somewhat close.

FOOD – 6 peppermints , snare wire* , a few small slim jims , granola bars*
WATER – 10 water purification tabs*, Canteen* (full at start of hike.)
TINDER – 4 cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly*.
SELF DEFENSE – mace/pepper spray , sheath knife* , boot knife.
SIGNAL – flare pen, 5 shots , signal mirror* , 1 use flare gun, 2 smoke bombs*.
LIGHT – medium mag light* , batteries* , pen light
MONEY – 2 dollars In quarters* , 2 5 dollar bills , 2 10 dollar bills , 1 20 dollar bill
HEALTH – 6 Band-Aids* , 4 alcohol prep pads(These little guys can also be used for tinger)* , 2x2 gauze* , 6ft medical tape*
MULTI PURPOSE – 6 paper clips, saw blade*, Swiss army knife, multi tool*, 550 Paracord 25 ft, 3 needles*, 50 ft of heavy duty thread*, 2 razor blades*, duct tape (rolled around a pen body)*, Safety pins* (1 Xl, 2 large, 2 small.), 36 in x 36 in of aluminum foil*, water proof writing pad*, 2 pens*, 1 sharpie*.
