Nice kit by the way.

I second the idea of using an AMK Heatsheet instead as well.

Perhaps you could add a few Gerber Seal & Go Breastmilk Bags for water storage, and a couple of MicroPur MP1 Tablets for water purification if they'll all fit.

Where'd you get the nylon case?

Inhaler cases are available at our site. We will go live in late June but you can preorder them already.

Thanks to everyone for the good word and all the advice!

In my opinion the leaking lighter issue is vastly exaggerated. Pack the lighter into the kit correctly, in this case bottom end first into the plastic bag and you shouldn't have any problems. Routine kit maintenance should ensure that any problems are spotted early.

Hmm. Aspirin. As many as you can squeeze in there. There are always a lot of people with heart problems, and an aspirin can really help them.

I'd try to work some paracord into the mix, too. I carry a stainless steel pill carrier with matches, needles, thread, snare wire, fish hooks, fishing line (80lb test 3 strand) and some cut-off strike-anywhere matches in it. I have a paracord lanyard that unwrapped will give me about 5 feet of cord.

I've seen hat bands made of paracord, belts, and all manner of things. If nothing else, get a sheet of stiff plastic and trim it to make a card around which you can wrap some paracord for a nice flat pack.

Uses are innumberable - tourniquets, splints, tieing up sheeting to make tents and on and on.

Good kit! Well thought-out.

You can ad a very small zip tie around the activation lever as well, to prevent leaks from that source (not that you'd have fluid all over, but it would be unpleasant to need it but the fuel had evaporated).

I'd second some water storage (gerber bags or MRE hot beverage bags, or oven bags) and possible a purifier. Also the needle and thread - very handy.

Great kit - well thought out for your needs.

I am guessing Gerber bags refer to baby food gear, not the "fend for yourself" gear?

Aspirin is probably a better idea then ibuprofen, thanks Farmer!
I think I will stay away from fish hooks and snare wire for now, I am not sure I want to eat the local fish <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> , and feral cats are very difficult to catch <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
A strong string wouldn't hurt though.
thanks

Ibuprofen and acetominophen have their place. If you've got a situation with bleeding, the aspirin can be detrimental since it makes the blood flow easier.

And fish are for more than just eating! You can use them for bait for a trap, and if you split the back you'll find that most fish store water along the spine that you can drink.

Breast milk bags. Most people seem to use the gerber brand, but any brand that is sturdy and has a good seal will work. Much easier to fill than a condom used for the same purpose.

Does a milkbag take in about the same space as a condom?

I use a ziplock in my PSK
