Zed, nice knife! Looks a lot like one of the CRKT Razel knives.
Looks good Paul One thing I'd add is that experience has taught me to carry a bottle of superglue too. If you're worried about leakage you could carry one of those hot glue sticks instead. A little bit of tinder would be nice too if you could squeeze it in. How about a bandana or buff? It's a water filter, wound dressing, wick, handkerchief, towel ... and headgear Aside from that you seem to have knowledge (reference), shelter, fire, signalling and water pretty well covered
I know what you mean. I'm going to need to take the car on my hiking trip at this rate

I'm going to need to take the car on my hiking trip at this rate its knowing when to stop, but its like general edc ive learnt what i need and dont, for example as work i get asked weekly to change fob watch batteries so i carry a supply of batteries and tools, same with zipties they are handy for lots of uses like superglue, i also added locktite as needed it a few times at work and its small so no big deal my backpack houses most stuff i would need in a emergency of survival to a point folks say if the sh## hits the fan stay with paul
Have you thought about sharpening?I don't take much myself, but fair amount of cash, ducttape, cordage, superglue, vaseline and fielddressing.Injuries are my main concern on a hike. I think your clothing is essential, always on you, part of survival. I don't keep everything in one bag. Just my 2 cents out of the top of my head.
Started doing one of these myself, just have a question about the fire starter. Is that alright just tossed in a small bag with cotton wool along with my other stuff? Or should I wrap my fire starter/cotton wool up in something?Thanks.
