You maybe right. I seem to remember the discussion on usa bushcraft forum. Not carrying survival gear on the person isin't a great idea IMO; however I agree with his theory on how many situations can develop over a longer period of time ie not getting lost when you weren't a second ago. Obviously not the cash for plane crashes, bear attacks or upset canoes.

EDIT:
Here is the dicussion you mention kathy.

Seems at the posting date he carried it in his pack and moved the psk to belt or pocket once at camp. Perhaps that changed after a discussion but I didn't go through the thread to check.
