I am a new member and want to share my own survival kits<br>others being standard , I add something<br>1. lighter ( some lighters in HK as small as one cigarette<br>2. mini axe with no handle . I made myself and weights only 1/2 lbs . very good for heavy cutting.<br>3. a stainless steel wire for making bow . very powerful in hunting.<br>4. several nails for making arrows head<br>5. 2 small size sharp fruit knife (I took off the rubber handle ) to make spear and hunting fish.<br>6. I bought a fish net ( around 20 inches in diameter ) from aquarium ( us$2) for fishing (nearly no weights and occupies no space ) .<br>7. I am designing a powerful small arhery for hunting with primitive knife. Please advise yours' experience and opinion.<br>8. I also add a very strong rubber band for making Y-shape <br>archery. only 6 us$.<br>9. recently i found a 3 inch boot knife in HK ,very tough stainless steel and light weight. only 4us$ each. <br>10. I think only the knife and saw are most important in multitools.<br>11. I used iron-steel knife instead of carbon steel since under very cold weather , the carbon steel is very easy to be broken , ( I have not tried the very expensive one's upto 200us$ since I am not brave enough to break my 200US knife.)<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by david copper on 03/01/01 05:30 AM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>
