Thank you for the welcome folks.
I will try to answer some questions.
I carry this pouch as part of a bigger system. I have a separate medical kit which I can take if needed. I will try to post it all together sometime.
I use a hard, waterproof case
I wish I could find one that fits into my pocket comfortably. Any ideas?
what environment and situations we want the kit to address. The kinds of questions we might want to ask include: is it to fit every environment and situation? is it a wilderness kit? is it an urban kit?
This kit is just to have in my pocket while hiking, hunting or during small day trips while biking trails or things of that nature. On two different ocassions I have had to ditch my main pack and was left at the mercy of what I had in my pockets.(long story) Afterwards I put this together so I would have something to work with if I can't get to my main stash of gear.. I did not intend to use it in an urban setting, so it is a wilderness kit. Please note that this is not all that I have with me in the woods by any stretch, This is what never leaves my side, even if I am only walking 100 M into the brush from the main biv. I carry all the other stuff(shelter, tinder,cookware,stove, med kit) etc etc in my pack.
I am sorry folks. I dont surf fourms much, I don't know a lot of the lingo yet. What does DD2 stand for? wife or kid I assume.
I'd add that the fishing kit is un-necessary. Up the first aid items - more band-aids, Tylenol and add pepto tabs. No need for the space blanket or signal mirror. add cash.
I have been playing around with kits for years and I have always had a few hooks and line. The other day it occured to me that these are items I have never used. It just feels wierd to have a kit with no hooks though. I am sure I will dump them. I keep the tablets in a separate kit in my pack as they(to me)are not totally essential to keep on my person. Just curious though, why would I drop the mirror and space blanket? What use would cash have in a survival pouch?
