The only problem is, locked blades are in some countries in Europe considered as a fixed blade.

So that rules out almost all of the nice knives, and also a great number of multi tools.

For this reason, my edc is a leatherman pst2 and a CRTK edgie.

Very nice kit, but still a lot of 'nice to have' stuff in it.

Not what I would call a basic kit by any means.

Thanks for your post - your "hiking-kit" style load-out seems well thought-out.

Personally, I might add a few longer term, severe-medical and survival related items;

Zithromax
Prescription Pain Meds
Modafinil or Caffeine-Ephedra tabs
Quick Clot Combat Sponge/Bandage
Surgical Tubing
SOG Hunter Revolver Fixed Blade Knife
A Glock
