OK, here goes,

The signal mirror was upgraded to a B.C.B. intl model that I picked up at a gun show, cost, I honestly don't remember (not more than a couple of dollars), it's in a sealed plastic case, and it floats. A couple more of the "tinder sticks" were added because they fit, they work, they're inexpensive, and they're clean. The compass was upgraded to a "Silva" model 10 with thermometer, it's small, dependable, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. A bottle of "Potable Aqua" tablets was included for water treatment (Thanks for encouraging me to go over the kit, it's time to replace them). The soup packets came off the grocery store shelf for a couple of bucks, and the survival blanket (heavier than the mylar space blanket) ran me about 10 dollars.
By the way, for those who are interested, the "pink" candles have withstood 100 degree days in my suburban (read that 120 degrees +) without any noticable melting/distortion.
That pretty well wraps it up, any suggestions or comments would be both welcome and appreciated.
