Does anyone know what the contents of a military regulation survival fishing kit consist of?

Doug has posted full photos and descriptions onsite. Just go to food procurement in the gear list. These may be purchased new, from www.ammil.com @ $65. I am halfway into a complete review of several fishing units for a later column (waiting out rain and seasonal closures of our depleted marine stocks to complete.) I have secured a few via Ebay and lucky gunshow/garage sale discoveries. The average Ebay price is $25-$35, and CAVEAT EMPTOR, some units, even unopened may suffer rusted or missing components. It has a few shortcomings. If you acquire one buy some nail clippers, additional lead sinkers,and fabricate some manner of hand reel. Ill elaborate further when the marine segment is complete. I can say, that so far it shares top honors with one commercial kit overall.
