Camo strips are there beause I donīt want a light brown patch on my otherwise camo or naturelike colored clothes. You can call it vanity, I suppose.

A compass will be added if I take a trip further away than my "home forest". The one empty side poch is for a compass. My compasses are a Suunto M-311 from 1970īs and a newer Suunto M-9.

My paracord is in three bundles, each is about 15 feet. I have measured them in meter so it doesnīt quite match up in feet.

I donīt do long hikes, just for a few hours. Day hikes, so to say.
And finnish forests are not wilderness like in USA or Canada.

If you walk in a straight line here, you will come to a logging road or some other road every 10km or so at the most.
We donīt have much anything of big wilderness other than up north in Lapland.

I have a cellphone with GPS and downloaded off-line maps of the whole country.

This is just the basic ("survival") a bare necessity kit, a small back pack will be addeed with water and food/snacks. And/or a gasburner and cooking pot.

A bright signalling panel would be a good idea since I am dresses in naturelike colors or in camo. And a flaslight would also be a good thing to have.
