John, I am kind of with Doug on this one.
I work 2 1/2 miles from home, I have a decent kit in the car.
I don't carry fire making materials with me EDC, light and cutting ability are far more important to my everyday needs.
Now, I do travel rural areas on a fairly regular basis, and natural disasters are likely in my area (hurricanes), so I do prepare for those situations.
I guess that's why we don't use the exact same kits, each of us adapts to the environment we live in.
Put me in the desert, and I wouldn't last too long. East coast coastal area, I am set.
