Architect's PERSONAL SURVIVAL KIT Submission

I "every day pocket carry" a Swamp Warden, Victorinox SAK, Light My Fire Ferro Rod, Leatherman S3 Flashlight and Streamlight Nano Flashlight. These items are on me whenever I'm outside my front door - without exception.

This kit submission is IN ADDITION TO the items above.

Architect's PERSONAL SURVIVAL KIT

This little kit is small enough (6"x4"x2.5") to be taken nearly every where I go. It always comes into my office with me, sits in my console when I driving places, etc. Basically, this is the "next step up in preparedness" from the EDC gear I carry in my pockets. If I have to go someplace that precludes me from taking my GHB - I still have enough gear to cover the survival basics: Fire, Shelter, Water, Navigation & Signaling.
