To me a PSK needs to be carried on your person - a rucksack should have all kinds of useful stuff already, the psk is for when things have gone pear-shaped and the rucksack is missing/sinking/on fire/being mauled by a grizzly :-)



The purpose of this kit is not something to have on me all the time, rather something that contains the essential items for when I'm outside populated area, so I can just throw it in my backpack without having to pack all the individual items.

I live in a large city/suburban area so most of the items inside isn't useful.
