Also misspelled "cought". Makes me wonder about the state of education where the OP lives.

On topic - pretty simplistic. I would rather see quality stuff, not cheap just to have something crap.

I just hate misspeled words! Looking around his website, I became less impressed the more I looked. Not recommended.

One could easily be a simple typo not corrected and the other -- let's just say there IS more than one way to spell that word. It depends which country you live in. Hint only the US spells the word "defence". The rest of the anglo world spells it defense. Also see color/colour, neighbor/neighbour or aluminum/aluminium or signaling/signalling.

I see far worse spelling mistakes in this forum than that website.

What do you base that on? As a U.S. guy for my entire life, I have never spelled it that way.

I just hate spelling mistakes like this. Given the easy availability of spell check these days it shows me the writer just does not care much.

To get back to the question, I think a small fanny pack kit is a good idea, but I would not use this site for a recommendation because of his approach. I would not use a knife like he recommends for yard work, much less as a survival item. I don't think you NEED to spend $100 + on a knife for a survival kit (although I do spend a lot more) his recommendation is not acceptable in my book. Similar his recommendation for several other items.

In addition, his kit is IMHO incomplete, even with his discussion of later additions.

In all, someone who has not thought about it much, practiced it less, but willing to tell everyone.

Respectfully,

Jerry

Space blankets are too small and too fragile. Strong winds tear them apart. An extra large trash bag holds up better and is easier to configure into clothing.
