I am new to the forum but thought I would say this is a great forum and site. I am an avid hunter and backcountry flyfisherman. I have been reading all the reviews of the personal survival kits and the homemade ones and all of them include some sort of knife but the great majority of the knives are pieces of crap. Instead, in my backcountry kit I always carry two zwickey black diamond glue on broadheads. You can easily fashion a handle and use it as a knife or for their intended purpose, they are small and light weight also. I also always have a tube of super glue gel in a protective plasticsleeve, it has saved my butt many times, after I use it I just replace it when I get home so I will always have fresh. I just wanted to add a couple of things that I have found useful and are light and easy to carry. WEB
