just one knife?

I think I have like five of them tossed in the longer-range kit, not to mention the three in the "half-day" pack.

Agreed Rob..."&" a knife "repair kit"...That resounds a quality piece of cutlery, eh?

Hi, something to think about is your jacket. The Brit's have a interesting jacket that they call a Smock.( if any old timers remember Steve Allen, no comments). It's like our US Field jacket and has a lot of pockets. You can say it's pockets held together by a jacket. The ones I like are made by Arktis in the UK. I order direct from them without problems. There is a US distributor on ebay but I find he has the old models. Just a thought, regards, Mike

PS: Before you bug out make sure you have a destination.

Oh, one point about TP if you're gonna pack it.

Don't bother with the roll. Instead, buy the travel tissue packs intended for your nose.

You're not going to be wipin'n'flushin' so there's no need to be concerned about clogged toilets.

They pack much better, you use less of them.

Bonus in that you can use them for lots of other things, such as first-aid or (and here's a surprise) your nose.

Hi, also see Wysi Wipes they are "multi-purpose" wipes or small towels in pellet size. Add water and they expand to 9"x 9" towel. I first saw these in an Austrlian MRE Ration. These are very handy and compact. I got mine through Amazonia, regards, Mike

Uncle Mike is right!!
compressed towels!!!
I have several of these packs around....one is in my truck pack....this one has 7 separate pieces 4-9x11; 2-12x31 & 1-31x36....compressed into that small package...I put the Randall coin in the photo for scale...I figure I will allow it space in my pack

Uncle Mike is right!

Not only jackets/smocks (“Smock Smock”)
… also vests, hiking/outdoor pants & shorts with plenty of pockets / cargo pockets!
