General Outdoor Fun DiscussionWhether you rock climb, kayak, snowboard, hike or hang glide, if you play outside and you play hard, come talk about it in here.
So I'm going to be starting a survival/evasion school pretty soon. They encourage us to put together our own emergency survival kits. So, I figure it wouldn't hurt to hear suggestions on the type of stuff you have or would include in such a kit.

Knife
Compass
Chemical water purification <- a must
Waterpoof Matches
Extra Socks..
The most important thing is knowledge, the more you know, the less you need. There is a TV show here in canada called 'survivorman', the dude can live weaks with nothing at all, its cool.
Can't say much, other than instead of a squirrel, we got a rabbit. Effin' judo chopped that sucka in the neck! Fairly tastey roasted. Learned a shitload about surviving in the woods.....and a lot of....uhmm....other fun stuff.
Anyways, good times.

550 cord
space blanket
snare wire
fishing line
fishing hooks
cotton balls in vaseline
multi-tool
iodine
electrical and duct tape
compass and other basic army shit (including a flint stick) was issued.
As for edible plants, they taught us all about that stuff...although a book on it would be useful for a real world survival pack. They also have this water purification system called the "X-Pack" They are *awesome*

I used 550 cord to make a hammock. Took me a long ass time and cramped my fingers, but I was hungry and it kept my mind off of eating the small guy in our group and roasting him.
