Thanks for the replies everyone. So far what I have been able to include is the following:

Swedish Firesteel (Military Version)
6 Stormproof REI Matches + Striking Strip
4 Sparklite Tinders
2 Micropur Water Purification Tablets
~10 Feet of Paracord

I have all of the above mentioned gear inside of the sheath pocket, except for the paracord, which is wrapped through the belt loop (it is large enough so that it still easily fits over a large belt). I now need to figure out what sort of things I can attack to it in another manner. My top priorities, as were suggested, would be a small LED light and whistle.

Thanks for the replies.

I have everything mentioned above inside of the

I would put a sealable plastic bag (or two) in there, with purification tablets. You have a knife & a fire stick. You dont need tinder because you can find or manufacture it, You can make hooks & line, deadfall traps etc, although food is not exactly a priority, and you can use a stone to sharpen your knife. So that leaves the two most important priority's, Fire & Water. You have covered fire so purifying and being able to transport water is whats left.
