Hi,

Let me start by saying that I do carry a Doug-style PSK tin and a fully stocked first-aid kit when venturing to rural/remote/outdoor/questionable areas. However, the tin supplements the following list of every day carry items, which I would chartacterize not so much "survival" gear as "urban convenience gear," although many components would cross over into the survival category (like the Pulsar LED, Leatherman Micra, etc.) With that in mind, what feedback does this astute audience have for me?
