You and everybody else pretty much hit all the high points on the kit. For my kit I try to incorporate it as part of my carry instead of carrying it separately. For example for cordage I carry a quick release 550 paracord weave attached as a key chain to my carabiner and key ring along with a whistle, Shard, and flashlight. I have some band aids and duct tape stashed in my wallet. Knife, LM Multitool, glass breaker I keep separate in my other pocket. I've lost too much stuff when tools are attached to one another. Hope this helps. You must have big pockets😜

I've drafted a few replies to this thread but never posted........Have you considered where this preparedness need comes from?I ask because I noticed a decrease in my own need. Not that the world is becoming a better place, but for one I realised that if the SHTF while I'm at work the ability to quickly walk 10-15km is worth more than a survival blanket.
Kits are fun to put together. I like having a few 1st aid kits around most have a bit more than the standard boo boo kit contents which I find suit me best. I think all said I have 3 of these kits which are all easy pocketable. As far as survival kits on person other than my daily MT, SAK, and light I don't have a "kit". I have tried to carry a lighter but I just cannot seem to make it stick. I do have one in my truck tho. I guess my thinking is along the lines of if SHTF I would likely be at a very near to my vehicle or home. In either case I think I'm good to go. If I were out and about then getting to my vehicle would be "relatively easy". I do have a few hike kits however. Day hike, scout hike, walk, and foraging hike ( collecting fat wood, sap, etc ).
Great looking kit, Ray

SAK + Bic lighter + quality AAA light + bandana = way better prepared than most people for well under $50, and it all fits in one pocket
