unfortunatly i dont have a creditcard, so i have to get the stuff locally....

i found latex tubing at a fishing shop wenn i was searching for a gaff ( and found it ) <br>this is my PSK contents with all the flaws removed and with the new items added: <br><br>SIGNALING GROUP <br>- 1x perry ( Lifeboat ) whistle<br>- 1x Interior of Storage Tin serves as Signal Mirror<br>- 1x a signal mirror ( shiny sheet protected by peel-away sheet ) <br><br>EMERGENCY DEVICES GROUP <br>- 1x small locking folder, 50/50 serrated/plain edge ( china )<br>- 2x single edge shaving blades ( USA )<br>- 1x scalpel #13<br>- 1x Hacksaw Blade with "sharpened" end <br>- 1x B.C.B. Commando Wire Saw ( w/out finger rings )<br>- 1x B.C.B. flint and steel <br>- 5x B.C.B. lifeboatmatches + striker<br>- 6x Coughlans "waterproof" matches<br>- 1x brithday Candle<br>- -- Cottonwol+ pertolium jelly tinder ( NOT wrapped in to something )<br>- 1x B.C.B. Button Compass ( 20mm )<br>- 1x Brass Snare Wire ( 6 meter / 20 feet )<br>- 1x fishing wire +/- 10meter ( 8,5 KG )<br>- 1x fishing wire +/- 20meter ( 8,5 KG )<br>-10x Fishing Hooks, small<br>- 2x large/medium hooks <br>- 4x Fishing Weights, large<br>- 5x midium split shots <br>-12x Leaders w/ small swivel<br>- 1x gaff ( XX-large hook )<br>- 1x p-38 G.I. canopener <br>- 1x red Ledlight <br><br>WATER & FOOD GROUP<br>-10x aquaclear tablets <br>- 2x ziplock bags ( 1 L )<br><br>MEDICAL GROUP<br>- 4x plasters ( sterile ) asst. sizes<br>- 3x 3M medi strips ( sterile ) <br>- 1x antiseptic swab<br><br>MISCELLANEOUS & MULTI-PURPOSE GROUP<br>- 1x Sewing Kit ( 3 needle's, 1 safety pin, 2 buttons, cotton wire )<br>- 1x nylon wire ( unknown lenght )<br>- 3x Twist Ties, plastic covered <br>- 4x safety pins small<br>- 4x paperclips <br>- 1x 2mm x 18 cm latex tubing<br>- 1x platypatch ( to repair water bladders )<br>- 2x alminium foil sheets (+/- 30 x 40 cm )<br>- 1x alminium foil sheet (+/- 30 x 70 cm )<br>- 1x electrican tape ( 1 meter wrapped around tin )<br>- 2x ducttape ( 3.7x30 cm ) on peel of sheet<br>- 2x +/- 1 meter ducttape wrapped around tin<br>- 1x Waterproof Survival Instruction Sheet<br>- 1x Metal Handle for tin bottom<br>- 1x Storage Tin ( 11x3x8 cm )

and uhm.. the duct tape and elcticial tape will be replace by gaffer like tape ( not sure weather it is reall gaffer's tape, but it doesnt leave any residue and is stronger.. )<br>

All in all a pretty good kit.<br><br>You might want to consider adding a few other medical items like paracetamol / ibuprofen for pain/ fever and lomotil (diphenoxylate+atropine) for diarrhoea and the like and some antihistamine - piriton or polaramine.<br><br>

personally i think that, taking painkillers is worser than the pain...<br>bear in mind that im only 15, so buying medicine without persprition is hard !<br>besides i didnt had much space left...

PC2K,<br><br>Very well done. How much of it can you get into the tin? <br><br>Wish I had done as good of a job at a PSK at 15 as you have with yours.<br><br>It is likley that there are legitimate pain killers and anti sick medications available over the counter, perhaps your parents could research this with you (and a doctor if needed as well).<br><br>All in all, great job!

Again! The need or a comprehensive fishing kit.<br><br>Mariner.

thank you<br>but how much of what can i get in to my tin ?<br><br>i don't think im gonna buy to a lot of medicine for that kit since i got this thing against pills... but wenn i bumb in to a pack, i will pack some..<br>

PC2K,<br><br><br>Just wondered how much of the content list that you provided was able to fit into the tin. >Smile< It seems like marvelous packing job. <br><br>Each time I repack my kits, it gets harder and harder, at some point one has to go to two tins due to the "new & better" components that I keep adding.<br><br>Regarding the medications, I understand your thinking, and am not advocating packing anything that one might be uncomfortable including in a PSK. As each person is unique, so to are their needs and PSK's.<br><br>Be safe.

well i fitted everything inside exsept for the tape i used to seal the tin with. i think it is allready bulky enough without something on the outside.. that why i don't have paracord around it.<br><br> i had that problem of repacking my stuff to, wenn i got new stuff.... my first psk i actually carried as EDC thing was 8x5x1.5 cm the second 9.3x5.8x2 cm and the current one is 11x8x3 cm... and it is FULL !!
