You seem to have a good list of thigns in your bag. Everything is well thought out, but I can't help to wonder why you chose the Tanto Knife for a survival knife. Don't get me wrong Cold Steel makes a great knife.

The blade design lends itself to more um Tactical uses thus drawing attention to itself. Where a difrent knife may draw less attention if you have to use it or if your bag gets inspected for any reason.

On a prcatical note the Tanto style knife doesnt lend itself to skinnning an animal, or dressing a fish,

Perhaps adding a difrent style knife (I am all for adding knives) and keeping the tanto styled kife for other purposes.

The bic lighter you may also want to upgrade to a butain ligher. The more "agresive" flame of the butain lighter will help incase you need to light damp materials or are in windy conditions.



You seemed to have realy thougth the pack out and have some great ideas in the bag. Many things I still need to add to my WSHTF Bag that you already have.

Great work and awsome discriptions
