You make a good point about the hunting/gathering/fishing stuff in a 6 day kit. I am considering this low priority. In other words: Im adding it since I have the room but if I needed to let something go to make more room this would probably be at the top of the list. Specialized hunting/trapping equipment is not going to be added to a six day kit, thats for sure. For gathering/foraging I really dont need any special equipment. Fishing... well if Im lucky and get stranded next to a roaring stream full of fish then I figure "great", I'll be ready for it. If not I still see hooks and the fireline and paracord inner strands as being great multiuse items so they will stay. The gill net has other uses too but it would probably be the first thing to go if I find I can use the space better for something like extra shelter material. Am I heavy on plastic bags? I have considered this and I'm still debating this one. I consider water to be priority #2 right behind maintaining body temp. Plus two of the Gerber bags are reserved for keeping my cell phone dry. Like Chris, you also made a great point about having something to dump the kit into. I am doing this for sure. Although I do EDC a bandana I do want this kit to be able to stand on its own so Im trying not to consider my normal EDC items as substitues therfore I am got to add a mosquito head net to use as a bag for dumping the kit in to (in addition to a net for catching fish and insects for bait or even its intended purpose). Another good point on the glucose tabs. I know their usefullness is a hot topic around here that has been debated before. I think youre probably right on the mark with this one too. I know they are not sustanance but they might be just thing to help out if I get a little light-headed from low blood sugar and they are so tiny that they can certainly be squeezed in. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

LOL Amen to that! You can just look over my post history to see how many times I have changed my EDC/PSKs/BOBs/CarKits etc... My quest for the holy grail of PSKs continues and even if I never find it, I will have enjoyed the journey and learned much along the way! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
