I have the version with 10' of braided paracord, and I use it as a cargo pocket kit because I can't stand to have anything around my neck.

The only changes I've made so far are to replace the large split ring with an aircraft cable loop from countycomm.com, and to separate the striker and flint rod from the tiny split ring they are both on.

The cable bends, which make the unit a bit more pocket-friendly, and it's easier to take things off if needed. I separated the striker and flint bar because I would not want to try to get them off that tiny ring in an emergency.

Future changes . . . hmmm. Since more fire is always good, I could see adding a peanut lighter (county comm) and/or a pill case with a few Sparklite Tinders (fourseasonssurvival.com).
