Putting kits together is as much a game as anything. It's fun! However, given the choice of kit or no kit, I choose kit! In my case, my "Altoids kit" is the bulk of my emergency stuff when I go mountain biking. Although I couldn't say that it's saved my life, I have raided its contents on numerous occasions. Neosporin, advil, photon light. I even used the needle, dental floss and fire making supplies once to repair a torn tire sidewall! My current kit also includes Uncle Bill's tweezers and a Victorinox Classic knife (the tiny one). These two items are often used for ticks or delicate cutting jobs where the folder I'm carrying is too large.<br>Your response is very well received, however as we often like to throw money/ resources/ kit at problems than rational thought.<br><br>
