1. Mine is also the military kit
2. The thing I found with the whistle was it is not loud enough.
4. The magnetic pins are kept as far away from the compass as possible.
6. That was my "joke”<img src="images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> because everything I wrote there started to look so serious
13. I cannot see the point of a large hook as a large hook will only catch large fish. Please explain.
15. That is some good argument but I carry the lighter in case some one grasps me from the back and puts his arms around me. Worth considering though.

Thanks for taking the time to evaluate my kit.
