Compairing me to a ultra-light backpacker would be like compairing fire to water crazy but your link is a interesting read.

I've made some changes to the kit:

- Removed the Opinel, it's just the mora now.
- Replaced mess-tin and Esbit with swedish mess-kit and alcohol-stove
- added another 1l. canteen on the outside of the pack
- added 2 GI-compass pouches on the outside for small stuff
- replaced PVC-poncho with mill-spec Fostex poncho.
- added 1l platypus bag
- replaced 15m of paracord with 15m of a smaller kind of rope
- added a small ferro-rod, small rol of trail-tape and some carabiners

Great equipment list. I especially like the bivy bag instead of the ever-present, almost useless space blanket. The next challenge is to do what has rarely been done by survival kit addicts. Actually go out and spend three days and two nights with this equipment and let us know what really works and what does not. Theory and practical application are opposite creatures. I hope your schedule (and local rules) allow you to
do this. We can all benefit from a healthy dose of practical application.
