Have begun sketching out the gift car kits that I'll assemble for my sister and my friend (who at my behest now carries a Fox-40 whistle at all times and started carrying Doug's e-PICO light after I used mine to find the cell phone she dropped). I'm organizing it around the basic categories and will include a list of items that they should add (such as flashlight+batteries, water). I list prices by some of the items that I'll have to buy and no price next to items that I will provide from my supplies. Occurs to me just now that I might throw in Doug's survival advice that he includes with his little CRKT knives. Any other suggestions? Don't want to add a lot more expense to this kit. At some point they're on their own.... And I haven't figured out what to put all this in.
