A great start is Doug's kit list

After digesting this and the other lists that Doug has posted along with his gear reviews explaining his selections you might want to do a search on this forum for PSK or Altoids Kit or EDC. Remember to set the date range for the search to all dates / all posts / all forums. If you read all of the threads that come back from that search within this year you will impress me fur sur!.

This is one of the most discussed topics on this forum.
