I think a separate page would be a good idea.  There seems to be a lot of info on these to cover.

Thanks Nele

Yes this section certainly is growing - so  a separate page would be good - as we have to keep individual pages reasonably concise
And it's also always good to have non regular model pages in the Wiki for some nice variety

 I know Max was planning to do this and has even created the page - but not populated it yet ....... Max ?   :pok:   ???

I bought my first SOS kit in the late 1980's.They pop up for sale quite often.

I was fortunate to find a few more and I'll post pictures when they become available.

Hi Max

OK - That's fine - I hope you don't mind - But as you are busy - and we have had a flurry of information on the SOS kits - I had a crack at the new consolidated SOS page

Please review and feel free to comment or edit etc etc

Hello Huntsman - the page is looking excellent!  :tu:  Very clean layout and well presented.
I think it's safe to remove the original content section and the under development references. I've checked all your part numbers and they all match the originals.
It's great to see the SOS Kit getting a promotion. A well-deserved place in SAKWiki.  :salute:

 :iagree: I've always been intrigued by them, especially being a big Swisschamp fan.  Nice work and thank you!

Thanks Max and Barry     :tu:    :tu:    :tu:

The page is finished (at least for now)
I have added a few more image links  + a bit more information + minor formatting + removed all the 'old' text

Looks really good and thanks for kicking it all off Max    :D

EDIT PS: I think we should add another section with some of the accessory tool images from the first page - Is that OK?
I knew 'at least for now' would never be true - It lasted about an hour!!

Adding accessories photos is a great idea. Unfortunately I don't own a single complete kit (just pouches and some of the original items)  :dunno:

I believe that I have a complete NOS survival kit. I’ll try to take some pictures tomorrow.

Check this one out!!!  I had a pay a bit, but it's a wonderful mint SOS Kit. Stare in wonder at those brand new fluffy Velco closures. As a cool bonus, there were even two sets of instructions in the box.

I think this is my favorite version of the SOS Kit. I really like the durability of whatever that synthetic green rubbery stuff is, mixed with the riveted loop on the back of the pouch. It's gonna be hard not to use this one.

Here's a link to the album
