Just retrieved my November Field & Stream from mailbox and found interesting article starting on page 73 with great pics of several survival kits contents.

First picture - The Pocket Kit in an Altoids tin
Second picture - The Day Hunter in zipper pouch
Third picture - The Wilderness Hunter in a fanny pack
Last page - Make your own kit work sheet

Also gives source for "Build the Perfect Survival Kit" by
John D. McCann. www.krause.com. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the pics. I've saved them to my hard drive and plan to use them to check out my gear stash !

(I they appear out of scale it must be a set-up problem with your browser - try saving them to your computer and viewing them with another application). <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Frank's right. Micro$oft's Internet Explorer automatically downsizes images to fit the window. Save the pics to your C:\ drive and look at them with an image viewer.

On Internet Explorer, hover your curser over the picture and wait for the resizing button to appear in the lower right hand corner of the picture, then click it.
On Mozilla Firefox, the curser will turn into a little magnifying glass.

no no, I mean the items in the picture are not all in scale with each other <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I've disabled image resizing a long time ago <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ok I've read the pages (BTW I use IrfanView to watch pictures. It's a neat little software) The things that caught my attention are:

1. Magnetized sewing needles. Are sewing needles available already magnetized like magnets and where to get them?

2. About the 20mm button compass, what does "grade AA" means?

3. The piece of Mica glued on a mylar film as a signal mirror. It's the first time I see this and I'm not familiar with mica.

4. Another unusual item for me is the piece of glue from glue-gun sticks.

Get a needle and a magnet. Try getting a magnet off the fridge if you cant find one but not a flat sheet type or sticker type of magnet.
Hold the needle and rub the magnet from 1 end to the other. only rub 1 way so dont draw it back down the needle. Dont change the ends of the magnet either.
Do this a number of times and the needle will become magnetized.

I may not have explained this clearly, but I hope you can understand.
