Hello everyone!
I designed this kit mostly for an urban environment, so keep this in mind while evaluating its contents.
Let me know if you think some things are missing and need to be added.
Thanks very much for your responses!

Kit contents:

1 Space blanket
1 Gerber Clutch mini tool
1 Inova Micro light
1 Fox 40 Rescue howler
1 Book of matches in a separate ziplock
1 yard of duct tape by Coghlans

First aid kit:
Nexcare bandages 3/4 x 3 inches, 6 count
Triple antibiotic ointment
Antiseptic towelette (benzalconium)
Burn Free 3.5 grams
2x2 sterile pad, 2 count
Ibuprofen (Motrin) tablets, 2 pack
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) extra strength, 2 pack

Packaged as follows:

I would replace that space-blanket with the ''Heatsheet'' if it's available.
And a book of matches?? I hope you have other (and better) fire starting-options.

Add some safety-pins and paperclips. Maybe even a sewing-kit?
Also some plastic shopping bags would be handy

I have a simular kit to this. Speaking from experiance, match heads, particularly those in books of matches, tend to break up quite quickly. As a suggestion: add a Mini-Bic or other small butane lighter. If you want matches in your kit, package a few strike anywere matches in silver foil. A few clorine based puritas might not come amiss either.

Go with knuckle bandages, and a mini BIC.

When you say urban environment, what are you intending to use this for? Is it more for everyday use, or emergencies? I have something similar, but with different items, mine's more for just everyday items. BTW, I like the pouch you're using, what kind is it?

What do you plan on using the space blanket for in the city? I usually carry one around when hiking, but rarely ever use it. For an urban area, maybe a cheap poncho might be more useful or even a large garbage bag.

Also, I agree with replacing the matches with a mini bic. Much easier to use for lighting almost anything on fire and you get a lot more life out of it.

I have a couple of safety pins and a tiny sewing kit. Safety pins are pretty useful for rips in clothing, and the needles in the small sewing kit are good for removing splinters and a lot of other stuff.

I also carry a Fox40 whistle, but I'm thinking of leaving it in my hiking backpack. Never really needed a whislte in the city.

I don't carry much in the way of first aid aside from a few band-aids. I keep a fully stocked first aid kit in my car though. I figure if there's something serious enough that requires more than a band-aid, I'd probably call for outside help. Never even thought about carrying burn cream, do you work around fires where there's a likely chance of getting burned?

I also carry a tiny button compass, it's actually pretty useful when walking around.

Why knuckle bandages?

I was actually thinking along the lines of a few wound closure strips, since there are a couple of 2x2's in the kit.

Wouldn't a mini Bic start leaking? It gets kind of crowded in there <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well, I live in San Francisco bay area, so that is pretty urban. What I am trying to say is that, I will not go live off the land for two month with this kit. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I look at this kit from a dual use point of view: disaster and everyday use.

For a disaster (earthquakes here) one would worry about being trapped in a collapsed building, for example at work, thus a Mylar blanket and whistle. Also, if memory serves me well, many injuries during Loma Prieta earthquake were due to burns from fires that got started because of busted gas lines, thus the burn gel.

Everything else in the kit are dual use items: flashlight, Gerber Mini Clutch, duct tape, and a first aid kit (what if I get a headache! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> )

I am building another one for my wife and she specifically requested to have the whistle clipped on the outside for easy access. (She works in a seedy neighborhood)

I like your idea about sewing kit and safety pins, thanks

The pouch is basically a soft sided inhaler case , and since its soft-sided it can accumulate a little bit of extra gear.

Knuckle bandages are the most versatile. Check this out:

Put a small piece of wood or some other material between the Bic button's lip and plastic case, and tape it in there. A lot of people do this to keep Bic's from leaking while stored in places where the button might accidentally be depressed.

Or you could buy a Mini Bic C2 Metal Case. However, it is a tad on the heavy side for something so small.
