  2. I always pack two compasses. In northern MN we have pockets of iron ore which can throw a compass off. By using two you can get confirmation if they are pointing in the same direction. Also gives you confidence that you are not going in circles (psychological benefit).

  3. This is one of the most informative and knowledgeable articles I've ever read. I'd like to appreciate your efforts especially the way you've explained everything along with video tutorials. I'm one of those people who are extremely cautious of any catastrophic event and would do anything to save lives. I already have bug out bags for fires, tornadoes and earthquakes and I'm thinking of maintaining a survival kit for myself now. I came across your blog today and I'm thankful you've helped me a lot in what I need to keep in it.

  4. I think this idea of a survival kit is really cool and unique!! Most people would find it weird but I guess I'm a safety freak and I already have a couple of emergency survival kits and I was surfing the internet for some cool ideas to maintain them. My dad gave me a really nice bug out bag for my birthday and I was thinking of making an identical one myself. After reading your blog I think I should make this one too.

  8. To improve this list, IMO
    12 should read Fire Starter Accelerant (= a substance used to aid the spread of fire)
    21 should read Bandana ....
    23 should read Topographical Map of the area and Compass

    Best regards,
    Bert
