Hi Jim,
Nice kit. I see you are from the Netherlands and are apparently involved in EMT type stuff. A good bit to carry everyday, though. Probably more than I would in an urban setting.

His Father is a Fireman and I would bet money that Pop's would have something choice to say about not having a decent First Aid kit handy. He is also training as a Nurse with a view to becoming a Paramedic. If some idiot does themself a mischief, guess who's expected to sort them out?
My EDC kit is built along simular lines to JIM's. Shelter, Warmth, Water, First Aid, Food. One thing about a townie enviroment - people are a lot less willing to help. Unlike country folks who understand that they are reliant on each other.
It's not a bad idea to assume that you are on your own when the Reaper's chasing you - and plan accordingly.

No means to start a fire?

Yes he has: Ferro-Rod.
I would add a Bic lighter, but JIM may still be too young to purchase one under Dutch (substance abuse) law.

There's a ferro-rod on the keychain and another one in my survival tin as well as some wind/waterproof matches.
I'm going to add a BIC-lighter.

Do you carry this gear scattered about on your person, or contained in a briefcase, should you be sequested inside an office during the week (as I am).

I'm 16, so no office....... <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
As you said, I carry my EDC scattered around the pockets of my pants and coat, as well as on my belt.

Although I do put my Wave in my school-bag/locker when at school to prevent any problems. (But I still have the Squirt on my keychain)

Omigod -- I've got 29 years on you. I'm 45. Pardon me, I think I have to go off and be sick somewhere. Groan. I suddenly feel old.
