I had considered putting one pre-fab snare in my larger kits along with more snare wire, and including in my contents and instructions cheat sheet the advice to just use the one pre-fab as a model for making more primitive (swivel-free, lock-free) versions if snares are desired. If I'm the one who's injured or unconscious, and someone else is relying on the instructions and contents in my kit, then they would likely benefit from being able to see a "real" snare before trying to make their own. Other pre-fab snares I had seen prior to the WSI ones were mostly all so large that I didn't ever consider this feasible except for the largest kits. Now, I think I might do this with any but my smallest tins. They're so small that they don't take up much space at all, and I think that having a model would inspire confidence and help the beginner know what a snare "should" look like.<br><br>Stay safe,<br>J.T.
