This is the kit I carry in my pack everytime I go hunting.  I also carry cordage, 2 compasses, knife, mini mag lite and water tabs but these items are in a seperate part of my pack.

This small kit along with the other stuff I have listed is what I hope will work if I ever need them.  I'm sure others have ideas that I have not even thought about so let's hear it.

This is my kit and I carry it in a zip lock.  The pocket knife is for commparison.

 

 

My kits contents

 

Contents are:
Soap, chapstick, Charms candy, Bandaids, 2 books of matches, Cravat for sling or dressing, 2 foldable razors, surgical gloves, alcohal pads, heavy duty tin foil, safety pins, wire saw, hooks, sinker , line, plastic container it'sself and the plastic bag.

I've never been a big one for First Aid/Survival kits, But that little kit of yours is COOL!!!!!   :thumbsup:

I've hunted in some pretty remote areas over the years,and I've always felt comfortable with a good fire source,and the "kit" between my ears. I figure between common sense and just dang pure stubbornness,I'm good for at least a week.
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!

My E-kit is very similar except it is held in an aluminum pot (about 1 quart) that can double for a water boiler if necessary.  I has 1st Aid and some rations, including boullion cubes.  Should keep 2 people alive for 7 days if injuries are no too severe and water source is available.

I think the spike nails secure his shelter to the ground.

A small metal can with snap-off plastic lid to hold either a beanie or the other items.  The can doubles as a metal cup so water/snow can be heated and pine needles added for tea.

Duct tape:  to bind wounds, make splints, make repairs, etc.
Cotton balls and metal match
800 mg pain killer/day
Two big, heavy plastic bags:  for shelter roof, make-shift poncho, gear cover.
One clear plastic bag for distilling water from plants.
Flagging tape:  Mark trails and locations
Little folding knife, Leatherman scissors.
Superglue

I use bandages out of my first aid kit at least once every season. Broadheads, knives axes....  :knothead:

the nails tied to each end of a string and worn around your neck - for crossing ice covered water, if you go thru you can use the nails as anchors to haul yourself out.

neat little kit.

you should keep such a kit in a pocket on your person. in a cargo pocket or such. then, keep a bigger, more long term one in your pack.

I carry a small kit with most of the things listed above but the meds have been the most useful.A severe headache or diarrhea can ruin a hunt fast.
