Thread: Minimum pack contents

I'll repost my bigger kit. As I said, fits in a small belt pouch. I can justify why everything is in the kit. It looks a lot on paper, but a couple of tablets of each kind are no volume or weight. Aspirin may keep you alive long enough during a heart attack to get help. Two small pills seem like a small price to pay. Having has a couple of near misses with leg injuries (not hunting), I can confirm that codeine and all the others make your life better for a while. I could see myself removing the spare knife, not much use to me in a survival situation for me personally. Same for the matches/firelighter/tinder. Even with this stuff, getting a fire going in the wettest place on earth, Northland is a challenge!

What would you old timers take off the list? I'm all ears.
