Seems Great!!

1) That tool logic card is interesting. Do you know where i can find out more about it?

2)i'd add a lighter (Bic). I find them MUCH easier to use than matchs and flint & steel. Plus, fire is so important, another method of making one is well worth the space it takes up.

with regard fire-i've got a magnifying glass on that card thingy-but there's no harm in a lighter as welll-good idea!

tool logic cards come in all shapes, sizes and colours-info can be found from - http://www.toollogic.com/

And a cheap dealer is www.7dayshop.com

Hope that helps

Iīd use strike anywhere matches and some windproof matches. Safety pin can come in handy in many situations.
Did you actually manage to start a fire with that magnifying glas? Thatīs one of those things where size can matter. My experience is that small lenses donīt collect enough light to start a fire.

i once burnt a hole in a rhubarb leave unintentionally-i left the card laying on the leave when i i used the knife to open some pig feed!!!

But not for fire making no!
Good point!

1. what a emergaency action card ?
2. watch out with the wave in england, everything with locking blades are illegal to carry there ( i think ).
3. in case you didnt know, the coghlans striker box of your coghlans flint match will hold butane fuel lighter fuel.
( does attract some weirdo looks wenn you light something with it <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> )
4 some kind of shelter would come in handy ( mylar blanket/bag, survival bag, garbage bag )

overall not bad
