I've got a survival kit philosophical question. I tend to separate my first aid supplies from my survival supplies. If I'm carrying my PSK I will always have my FAK. My thoughts have always been that I would like to use the extra space in my PSK for more fire starters, extra wire, more fish hooks etc. However most PSK’s tend to include first aid supplies. I find the first aid supplies packed in a PSK tend to be very meager. With this in mind I pack a separate more complete FAK.

Can anyone think of any potential drawbacks beside the obvious i.e. loss of a FAK or if one were to forget to take the FAK you would have no first aid supplies? I’ve been pondering this question for a while.

Thanks for your time,
Adam
