Hello, it my first post at survival forums. I have found the reviews of the pre-packed survival kits very useful, I of course purchased one that was rated rather inadequate from my local Academy store. So my question I want to post to you all is should I make my own according to the SAS requirements or your own personal recommendations on what to add to it? Another question is that my hiking/survival gear is composed of A.L.I.C.E gear a medium sized back pack and a full set of the combat load gear. Oh course I have converted all this over to more “civilian” style use an have found it all rather easy to carry around my essential gear with relative ease. But is this gear the best for hiking an survival?
