Now we are getting down to it.

Indoor survival kit use: Many of use spend most of our time in buildings. Things happen inside buildings: fire, collapse, hostage situation, power failure, etc. Things happen outside buildings that force us to stay inside or return to buildings when we would rather go home: storm, fire, flood, earthquake, civil unrest, police emergency, power blackout, etc. Perhaps we should make room in the game plan for an urban survival kit geared to those kinds of scenarios.

Your EDC addresses many of the things that seemed lacking in the pocket kit – good job!

So I would review your pocket kit against survival categories, mine being: First Aid, Shelter, Fire, Water, Food, Navigation, Light, Signaling, Self-protection, Hygiene, and Morale. Initial comments:

First aid: I would consider what might disable you so that without effective first aid you could not get back to your pack, and address them. Blood loss? Sprain? Broken bone? I would add some medication to moderate discomfort and head off infection.

Food: Is there room for a sports concentrate gel pack or two? Or at least some hard candy?

Fishing kit: Maybe several pre-assembled ice fishing size spoons or spinners with swivels instead of the hooks and shot.

Water: Zip-lock better than nothing but consider upgrade. Seems like a lot of purification tablets.

Light: Maybe a couple birthday candles?

Hygiene / Morale: More than one sewing needle (darn things are easy to lose).

Miscellaneous: Consider a mini-multi-tool. Change for pay phone.
