I am very interested to see how you cut down the lantern stiriker. I've carried these for quite some time now for the same reasons as you. If you could post a how-to or pictures or anything I would really appreciate it.

Good work on the mini kit. I think some hooks and line would be a welcome addition. Also so would a needle and thread. If you use a needle with a large enough eye, you can just carry ample fishing line and use it for repairs as well.
