It might be a little difficultto get into some of our kits (not giving out names), but some of us go pretty basic- a simple wrap of electricians tape aounr the seam, and then a single layer of paracord wrapped over that. The cord comes of in about 15 seconds, and the tape in about the same amount of time. <br><br>If you are so far gone that anohter 30 seconds will cause you to freeze to death, you won't be able to get the fire lit- you'll be shaking to bad. <br><br>As for bandaids, other than blister prtection, I don't put them into a PSK. Anything a bandaid can fix won't cause you to bleed out, and in the 48 to 72 hours that you would need to rely on a PSK, I'm not worried about infection. But that's just me. <br><br>The PSK is supposed to be the last of the last of the supplies, the thing you use when everything else has failed or be lost. It doesn't replace a full kit in a pack, it can't. Espcially in winter or over the long term. But it's better than nothing. <br><br>If you have to leave, do it fighting. That's what the PSK is, a fighting chance.
