What method do you use to keep track of your kits? By this I mean where do you keep your inventory, by what method do you keep track of expendable supplies, do you keep in on computer, hand-written (oy), PDA.....<br><br>I use an Excel spreadsheet very customized to my particular needs. In addition to my inventories of supplies, I keep track of vital documents, my escape routes, a list of important numbers, a threat analysis, and various other things. <br><br>Share your ideas and see what we come up with.

I use a CSV text file for the raw data. For display and manipulation I mostly use CGi scripts.<br>The text file can be used for other programs and platforms (like my PDA) as well. That way there is only one set of data to maintain.

I keep a printed inventory on my kits which I update virtually weekly. I just use MS Word with a table. I also keep a copy of the inventory with the kit concerned. I have a copy of my mini PSK inventory in my wallet which I have reduced for size.

Maybe we could exchange blank versions, just to see how the other does it?

I use the same format that Doug uses for his kits.

I just keep a series of text files named "Jeep", "PSKs", "CERT", "Travel", "EDC", "Office", "BOB", etc. They're just lists, but I put a set of brackets at the beginning of each line with either a space or an "x" (if that item is currently in my kit). That's how I keep track of what needs to be replaced or added.<br><br>It looks like this excerpt from my EDC list:<br><br>SIGNALING<br>---------<br>[x] Acme "Tornado" whistle<br>[ ] 1" x 3' bright yellow & orange ribbons (This reminds me I currently need to replace these items.)<br>[x] Cellular Telephone w/ roaming service<br>[ ] Cellular Telephone w/ roaming service & built-in GPS transmitter (This reminds me to keep this item in mind for the future.)<br><br>EMERGENCY DEVICES<br>-----------------<br>[x] Leatherman Micra<br>[x] 2 "Ranger" bands <br>[x] mini disposable lighter<br>[x] white "Photon II Micro-Light"<br>... and so on down the list ...
