Just orderer one of these little kits for around $13.00
Only problem is the shipping,as it comes from Canada. I ordered a sleeping bag for $76.00 but the shipping is another $40.00 which I accepted as I can't find the bag anywhere but Canada. I was able to add a few small items to my order for the same shipping quote.

Pretty nice little kit in the can. I found a Air Force survival kit and jumped on it as there was a lot of good stuff in it. I broke it down and it is now in my Maxpedition Jumbo or the Gerber backpack/water carrier.

I figured I gotta start some where. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I like that survival kit I think I might pick up a few. I need to lighten up my BOB that looks like the perfect size with the right items. They actually have them at Walmart Dot Com lol

I have learned a lot from the following website.

Thanks for the link Walker <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> They do have good information & products on there.

Many times we think we are just makeing up something "just in case". That's what I thought. But since making up my limited first aid kit, I have used it 4 times and I have only had it for 3 weeks. Guess our Boy Scout Motto was right after all!

I like Doug Ritter’s Pocket Survival Pak. I’ve carried one in my back pocket for years. The plastic pouch is flexible enough to ride comfortably—though eventually I’ve had them give out and need to be replaced. You can open them up to add stuff of your own. Water bag, water purification pills, and I replaced the golf pencil with a Fisher Bullet Space Pen.

With those sardine can kits, it’s either open or closed. You have no flexibility.

So where do you find the Doug Ritter's survival pak ?

i am always tempted to buy a bunch of these little kits and then stash them everywhere just so i always have one near.

has anyone ever actually used one of these...im interested in how usable all the materials are...like the quiality of the fishing line and stuff...

good idea wiggity. might buy a couple...one for the pack one for the car....maybe one in the atv...

Sportsnut, you can find them at the following site. They are available in various sizes.
