I agree with you there...I have spent close to $800 on my survival kit and it's not where I want it to be yet. I take survival very seriously because I fly coast and mountains of British Columbia...it's an unforgiving environment.

I am always surprised at how little most people put into their survival kits. Since I have assembled my kit, the thought has crossed my mind to put kits together for others, but it's a huge amount of work. My biggest concern right now is trying to find an inflatible life jacket type device for the survival kit so if we ditch we can toss the kit overboard along with ourselves. So far all I have come up with is a conventional inflatible lifejacket...if anyone knows of inflatibles for equipment, etc. please let me know. The kit weighs only 22 lbs. so it doesn't need a huge amount of floation.
