I considered snarewire, but I'm not confidant in my ability to use them properly.

That being said, I can probably squeeze some in there <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Don't think brass wire is just for making snares. Like every
other item in your kit you must be able to improvise with it. Metal wire can also be used to repair stuff; or for exemple to attach a arrowhead to a shaft when you have nothing else handy.

nice kit what is that red tipped thing under the safety pins though?

It's an LED <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Where did you manage to find an LED that small?

Yes... where did you find that tiny little thing. Also, is the light next to the sparklite one of those Coast lights we were discussing recently in another thread? I didnt realize they were that small.

And what's small enough to power it? <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Yep, that's a Micro Lenser from coast. They're one of the US distributers of Zweibrueder.

The little LED can be found in the fishing section of Grandpas, WalMart, and other similar stores. They are designed to go in the clear fishing bobbers to light them up. You push down on the head a little and it turns on, pull it back out and it turns off. Pretty neat and takes up little room.

Both LED's actually use a very similar battery. The tiny one basically has the LED fuzed directly to the head of the battery, while the Micro Lenser's battery can be replaced. I found some spare batteries at batteries plus, but they weren't cheap (like $4 each). The battery is called BR435 (it's a 3 volt lithium). The micro lenser itself (with battery) cost me around $10.

Needless to say, while I like photons, these two are simply smaller! Well, the micro lenser is a little longer than a photon I think, but it's easier to pack since it's shape isn't so irregular

Wow, that's definitely tiny. Never seen one of those.

It seems like a good idea. How much light does it give off compared to keychain LED lights (Photon, Pulsar)?
