Example text

This is no place to be frugal. 2. Design your kit on an item-by-item basis. This way, you are familiar with the individual components. By packaging your own kit, you not only know what each item is (after all, you selected them), but in an emergency you know where each item is located in your kit. When you buy a kit that is pre-packaged, the kit is often tightly packaged to fit in the selected container. You lose the flexibility of choosing a container that allows space for extra items you might want to add.

My right rear pocket always contains a small notebook, a bandana with toilet paper wrapped inside and a Kydex pallet that is wound with 35 feet of parachute cord. The left side of my belt holds a pouch which contains a Gerber Multi-Tool and a Victorinox Farmer. The right side of my belt holds a fixed blade knife and my Blackberry. I always carry a small neck knife that has a Kydex sheath which holds braided fishing line, fishing tackle, a compass and a firestarter (this will be shown in the “Knife & Tool” chapter).

If the container is small and will hold the items you want and still fit in a pocket or small area, you can make it work. You can also carry a mini kit in a small belt case and supplement it with shelter items or other larger items like a full size compass. You can carry it as is, or always remove the mini kit and stick it in your pocket. The photographs illustrate some of the various configurations you can come up with. The Condor H20 Pouch comes with a shoulder strap for carry cross chest over one shoulder.
