I don't travel by air often, but when I do, I usually land up hiking some. If I have a few hours to kill before a meeting or an evening to kill, I find some place interesting to hike. This has landed me in the desert in Arizona, swamps in Florida and Louisiana, and mountains in Colorado as well of lots of other more mundane places. With the limitations of what can be carried on board an airline these days, it is hard to carry much gear. I usually scrounge the hotel for matches, water and snacks. A few times I have stopped at a pawn shop and picked up a cheap knife. You can carry a whistle, cord, a poncho, and a light on board so you can have some bases covered.

Do any of you guys have a set air travel survival kit that you carry? If so, I am interested in what is in the kit.

Thanks,

David Enoch
