very clever Raven,i never thought of the fishing kit that way.any survival i would realistic be involved in would be in some prime fishing water,guys pay big bucks for fly-in's,so picking up something to add to the pea soup would be no problem.however your take on it gives a person food for thought,what other items could be added to a kit that would aid someone with out being a real survival item?..now i'm thinking of a "normal" person here,not someone well versed in survival.
