Very similar:<br><br>Chemical Light Stick in Toothbrush Case<br>Space Blanket<br>Orange Plastic Poncho<br>Toilet Tissue<br>Fox Mini Whistle (soon to be on a lanyard)<br>Red Bandanna<br>Minimal First Aid Kit<br>Water Bottle<br>Snacks/GORP - whatever we decide to pack that day (my daughter brought us all chocolate chip cookies.)<br><br>My son, who is a Cub Scout, has a belt holster for a small flashlight and an inexpensive multi-tool. He's only allowed to wear it when I'm around and he's instructed not to use it if he gets lost. I'm concerned that he'll cut himself if he tries to use it while lost and not know how to stp the bleeding. In fact, I may not let him carry it on hikes anymore until I'm satisfied he's old enough.<br><br>I plan on adding the following:<br>$1.00 in Quarters (for phone calls)<br>A make-up bag to hold the contents (except the food).<br>Spare batteries.<br>Identification Card<br><br>We sat down before we started our hike and went over the ground rules. My oldest son helped out. I reviewed the contents of the kits with them and told them what to do if they get separated.<br><br>This spring I'll repeat the training when we go camping to reinforce the rules & techniques. We'll be in a sparsely populated area then so we can actually act out scenarios without disturbing others.<br><br>Last spring we all took turns starting a fire with dryer lint and a MFS. The younger ones needed some assistance, but they did remarkably well, better than I thought they would. So I will continue having them build test fires whenever it's possible. Once they have mastered the technique and safty aspect, I'll consider letting them carry firestarting gear.<br><br>My youngest son is only a few years away from being a Boy Scout and earning his Fireman Chit card, which is a prerequisite for scouts before they are allowed to build and tnd fires.<br><br>What else should I include?
