Something I forgot to mention is to include a PSP which has a fire starter, tender, a signal mirror, button compass and a better whistle among other things.

Jeanette, I just built a lightweight emergency kit for my recombinant DNA. This particular offspring is competent for a young adult and is bringing a vehicle to college. Here's what I viewed as essential for this kit: Car Specific - Car paperwork (in glovebox)
- Jumper cables (under trunk deck)
- Assortment of automotive fuses (under trunk deck)
- self-fusing silicone tape (under trunk deck)
- duct tape (under trunk deck)
Emergency Bag- Water bottle and Chlorine Dioxide tablets
- Ritter PSP
- Emergency ponchos x2
- A few gallon ziplocs
- A few contractor bags
- A small tarp
- 3-wick candle
- Heatsheets two-person blanket x2
- fullsize Bic in a kydex sheath
- USB power bank, spare cable, spare 12V USB adapter
- First Aid Kit and Trauma Kit
- Writing materials
- N95 masks x2
- Baby wipes
- Flashlight and headlamp (being for a non-flashaholic, these are appropriately easy to use) with a few extra batteries
- Multitool
- Small pry bar
- Mora fixed blade knife
- Small amount of super glue
- Paracord
- Duct tape
I left out food and cooking on purpose to minimize bulk and be focused on shelter, fire, communications, first aid, and tools. Your area of operations, skillset, and needs are different, but I thought this give you some ideas.

I have most of these in my proposed kit or something that will accomplish the same task. I forgot to include the PSP in my original post. What I didn't propose are the Ziplocks, contractor bags, tarp, candle, (I did not mention a Bic; that is something I did consider) and power bank (I did consider one as part of a radio). I will bring my medical kit with me in addition to what is in the proposed kit, I do need a mask, I might include wipes in addition to what is in the first aid kit, I don't think I will include a pry bar, I'm not sure what to use for a knife and I don't think I will include super glue.

An indoor/outdoor stove.
Jeanette Isabelle
In most cases, DO NOT use portable stoves inside structures - Tents, trucks, houses, boats, etc.

If you buy the stove you indicate, it already includes a pot/cup and the one you list would be unnecessary...
There are stoves available that are much hotter. lighter, and more efficient than that stove, however, since I take it that you need a sterno fuel can.

If you buy the stove you indicate, it already includes a pot/cup and the one you list would be unnecessary... Certainly a valid statement. Since the cup takes up no additional space (comfortable fits over the water bottle) and we have to consider a possibility of the stove being used by more than one person, why not include it? There are stoves available that are much hotter. lighter, and more efficient than that stove, however, since I take it that you need a sterno fuel can. I like the fact that this stove can be used indoors. Also, Mom has expressed her concern with storing gas canisters. Jeanette Isabelle
