I am fairly satisfied with this, especially its compact size and weight, but it every time I have actually had to use it, I discover tweaks to be made! Biggest change was substituting a 1 oz. plastic first aid kit BOTTLE of betadyne, for the multiple foil ampules and swabs. Doing so saved enough space to include a Frontier filter straw! But because the filter straw is not adequate to remove all biologicals, chemical treatment remains necessary, so betadyne doubles for water purification as well as wound cleansing.

I exceeded my photo quota and had to go back and delete some from old posts. Anbody wanting to see current kit photos just PM me with an email address which will accept full size, uncompressed. jpg and I can send to you. I don't store my stuff on a "cloud".

I dont trust small, vital, easily lost stuff to be outside of my pack(s) I use a daypack that's big enough to hold the taken down rifle, sitting on a buttpack, so I dont need more of a frame than a couple of carbon fiber 'stays" to get the weight onto my padded hipbelt. I carry the "spare" clothing, sleepgear and shelter outside of the pack, cause I WILL notice if any of it falls off, since it's all bundled together. There's no air mattress or stuffing filled stuff to get torn/punctured, so I can use much smaller packs, with the same carrying effect. Since there's 20 lbs of guns, ammo, accessories, armor, night vision, solar charger, etc, and I demand that I be able to RUN with my BOB, there's very little bulk/weight left for all the other gear. I doubt very much that you'll see any 3 day emergencies that dont also include risks from other people, dogs, etc, but you might be able to handle short term stuff with a pocket 9mm and a silenced .22lr pocket pistol. That would save you 9 lbs or so, as compared to the rifle setup.

100 x 6 ft of 2" mesh gillnet (minus the lead weights) and some muletape tree straps= a hammock that can feed you very handily. For a medical kit, give me "go" and "no-go" pills, antibiotics, stimulants, painkillers, sedatives, anti-inflammatory meds, crazy glue, an ACE bandage for the knee, liquid bandage, iodine, antifungal/bacterial ointment, eyemask and ear plugs (keep bugs out)
