Good article from someone who has a higher chance of having to walk the talk than many of us. Thanks for the link.

Comments/Questions:
Water Purification - He suggests including purification tablets - does a pilot typically carry a water container/supply?

Fire Starting - It is interesting that he recommends the Strike Force or Blastmatch (though he calls it the Blastmaster - cool name). I thought the Spark-Lite specifically created for aviation - it is much smaller and comes with tinder.

Evation Charts - I'm assuming these are on Tyvek-related material, based on the washing hint.

GPS - He mentions having a GPS with maps, but I'm wondering if maps are typically available for areas of conflict?

US Knife - Does anyone know what kind of knife this is?

Right Angle Flashlight - Why do they use right-angled lights?
