Sometimes even a tin is too much. So I have put a survival mirror, fire striker, matches, aspirin, whistle and a button compass in the zip pocket of my wallet. Gives me the absolute minimum amount of kit. Can anyone do any better?


How about a SUUNTO Comet in place of a button compass? A couple Coghlan's Emergency Tinder in an Altoids strips tin is good! A few sheets of Rite-in-the-Rain paper is good. One sheet with useful phone number and account numbers can be good. A small flashlight. How about a couple band-aids in your wallet?

You have got to have some kind of pocket knife! How about a SAK VIC Farmer? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
