Hi all.
This is my PROPOSED IDEAL Hip-pack Survival Kit. As it is simply a proposed kit, I won’t take offence to any criticism that forum members have.

The reason I put this kit up on the forum is so that it WILL be CRITISED.

*This kit will be waterproof, but the items will be easily accessible, as many of these items are also part of my normal hiking/camping gear

*All of the gear will be stored in a large hip-pack. It also has place on the side for 2 liters of water. The pack has shock cord on the outside could hold a jacket and tarp. There will still (ideal) be enough space to use this hip pack for day walks.

*Most of the things will be stored inside the Mess-tin, while the Carabineer, Para cord, survival bag, and possibly the FAK and water-bladder will be stored outside the tin.

*I have deliberately left out quantities/lengths/size etc, as I don’t what to put there. Hopefully you guys can help me.

*Many of these items are also part of my normal hiking/camping gear
Many thanks in advance!
