I do not carry a compass; I navigate by the sun. I don’t carry water purification items but I do bottled water which I refill. EMT shears does almost everything I need a tool to do. I don’t carry a fishing kit but I do protein bars. First aid is covered, my MAG-LITE doubles as a club and I carry an emergency rain poncho.

Have I left anything out?

JI...I like to recommend a pointy cutting tool in addition to scissors... a Victorinox Farmer with can opener, small flat screwdriver blade, large flat screwdriver blade, cap lifter, saw, main blade, and an awl on the end of the knife, tied to a Bic with 2' of duct tape give you a couple of more options....fold up a P95 mask in your purse..

I’ve test drived a Victorinox Classic SD. It did not work for me.

Living in the city, I have considered carrying a mask; I have not done so yet.

Army Ranger Rick? It's never classy to run down competing items when you're trying to sell your own.

Izzy...the SOE E&E kits of WWII included hacksaw blades with their escape tool... considering the space they take up, a good addition to any kit

http://www.multi-tool.org/ossescapeknife

the blade section, ferro rod, needle, safety pins make a very thin pack
