I intend for this kit to be used when hiking on hills in UK. It will either by thrown into a daysack or clipped on a belt. It is not an evacuation kit. There is not much need for that in rural Somerset. I live on the doorstep of the Somerset levels, for any of you who know then. They are suseptable to flooding, but I live on a hill so I don't even get that. No definatly no need for evacuation. <img src="images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
