I should have also noted that in my vehicle is another "module"...if I am going into the wilderness I grab this pouch and throw it into my pocket...it contains an Emergency "Space" Blanket, 2 33 gal. trash bags, 2 quart freezer bags, and a bottle of Potable Aqua. I feel confident that I would be able to manage shelter, fire, water and minor first-aid pretty well. I am also in the market for a good signal mirror to add to my kit. Also, in the morning before I leave the house I fill a quart bottle with water, and grab some packaged snack to carry with me for the day. And, finally, I just added a needle and thread to the PSK/USK/Convenience Carry Kit. Thanks for the replies.
