This is what Architect said about a SMALL BOB.

(Qty) Item - Explanation

(2) Bic Classic Butane Lighters - makes burning stuff easy.

(3) 12 Hour Chem-Sticks / Cyalume Light Sticks - keep one in your med kit...nothing like trying to treat a wound while holding a flash light. Ask how I know.

(1) Quick Touch Up Knife Sharpener - knocks off dull edge.

(1) Knife Sharpening Stone or Stick - takes nicks out, etc.

(1) 3600 Calorie Food Bar - you eat it. Food is good. Calories = working body = getting home.

(1) $10 Water Purification "Survival Straw" (Aqua Mira Frontier or $20 Pro) - no drinky = no livey.
(1) LED Headlamp with Spare Set Of Batteries - frees your hands to do other stuff like fight off zombies / open doors / wield weapons.

(1) $2 Emergency Space Blanket - its cheap and works if you use it while nekkid.

(1) Rain Coat - Don't know where Howe is, but if its like Indiana....getting cold and wet = hypothermia = potentially dying = suckage.

(1) Wool Watch Cap - see above.

(1) 32oz Nalgene Bottle - you put water in it.

(1) Nesting Cup - fits on the bottom of the Nalgene (space saver) and boils water / heats food / etc.

(10) Katadyn Water Purification Tablets - don't drink untreated water.

(1) Whistle - you might want to be found if a building collapses on you, you get lost at Wal-Mart, etc. Whistles last longer than your voice.
