I have tweaked this a little since last winter when I took the picture. Took out the mag striker and replaced with a ferro rod and 2" hack blade, better whistles, smaller lighter, replaced tea shown with 'Constant Comment'....

Here's what I have in my PSK. Boreal forests, three seasons. It is meant to supplement what I always carry on my belt or in my jacket pocket or rucksack: cell phone, GMRS radio (only when I have a companion) Ricola natural herb coughdrops(2), good grade compass, large lighter, Leatherman Wave or Supertool, Western 10" cord-wrapped belt knife, light hand axe, 27" bandana(2), nylon mil-spec ripstop poncho, 27 oz steel bottle, Fox 40 whistle, slingshot band with leather pocket.

Here is what you see from top left:

Mil-Spec pouch, orange disposable poncho (multi-use for signal flags, ground cover, tent, solar still), teabags in a heavy zip lock, TP and a ziplock, dry cotton balls and paper tinder (or to write notes) banded packet (containing 8 snelled fish hooks, 2 scalpel blades, 10 butterfly bandages, eyeglass repair kit with magnifying glass, standard signal mirror, three upholstery needles, fabric band aids, 2x2 gauze bandages, double size orange emergency blanket, pencil with 25 ft of 50 pound test black braided fish line). A Fiskars retractable wood saw, Mora 840 MG Clipper, magnesium sparker and striker, a frog spearhead with a half hot-melt glue stick protecting points, 50 ft heavy white nylon mason line, snarewire, whistle, foam bobber, backup button compass, SAK Classic knife with tweezers and toothpick, nylon flag clip, mini-Bic lighter, filter straw, iodine tabs, nine ibuprofin, 1/32 oz antibiotic ointments, duct tape-wrapped film canister with vaseline-soaked cotton balls and two large treble hooks inside, a metal LED light, zip ties, 25 feet of 550 paracord and a steel sierra cup.

When I go out, I stuff one Clif Bar in also......it all fits in the pouch and weighs 35 ounces.
