Plus I carry the Bass Pro Expedition First Aid Kit in the truck at all times and if I go into the mountains, it goes along too.
BP first aid kit here
The pocket survival kit is
really handy and the first aid kit weighs about 2 lbs. My whole knapsack weighs about 15 or 20 pounds including the liquids.
I have another kit which is a web belt w/ harness and 12"x 12" military issue pack. This has a magnesium fire starter, mess kit, compact shovel, fire starter tablets, lighter pine, candles, lightsticks, finger saw, fishing gear, space blanket, pancho, waterproof matches, tinder material, magnifying glass, water purification tablets & Katadyn water filter, and I don't know what all else, but you get the idea.
I need to get some of those energy bars for emergency situations, but I will be able to make a damn fire!!
