Maybe its time to change the term to "Individual Survival Kit" I agree wholeheartedly on the food issue though. Food, other than anything else, is a major morale booster. Being able to sit down after everything has gone belly up, with a mug of tea or coffee helps you calm down and gives you time to evaluate your situation better. Of course the caffiene and sugar kick helps you as well as the heat. On the other hand I've always got a small container of curry powder on me in the field, mainly because British Army rations taste of dogs**t after a while, if however all you had to cook was field mouse stew IMOP it would be more palitable as field mouse curry. By the way I had a quick cruise round your site and your kits look pretty damn good to me.
