One suggestion for a little more JIC. Duct Tape: It holds the world together. A little trick I learned in AIT, instead of lugging a whole roll around in your BOB equip, tape a few wraps (maybe a yard or two) around a canteen or a knife sheath, that way you always have some when you might need it. It makes a great emergency sling, as long as you don't mind pulling a few hairs out to get it off, and Gods know what other myriad uses you could come up with for it.
Thanks for the suggestion. Actually it's hard to see but there's a mini roll of duct tape in the ritter psk that's in my kit. I never thought about using duct tape as a sling. That's a great emergency tip.
