small signal flares
hand towel
kleenex
small flashlight

All this believe it or not fits in a medium size waistpack or small rucksack

I carry all this and a few other things I can`t remember. This all fits in a .50 cal ammo can. My wife has a similar kit in a canvas bag.

That sounds great man. It seems like you may be the Last Boy Scout. lol nothing wrong with being prepared man. Thats my motto, I highly agree Crux. These items can be the difference in a pinch for sure. Hopefully you never need this stuff but they can really come in handy in everyday life also.


P.S. Thats coming from a real Eagle Scout

you forgot small plastic bags (ziplocks) and toilet paper. can't forget the TP.

biggest thing.... c'mon... fine, first aid kit!!!! bandages, gauze, and compression wrap with neosporene (sp?) or spary antiseptic.

Yeah, I forgot to list that. I got some compact toilet rolls for camping that are in the kit as well. The first aid kit is constantly being replenished with neosporin,band aids and gauze, cuz I can`t stop cutiing myself!

One other thing I forgot in the tool box that I used to carry in my TJ was a universal joint. You never know when one of those will go.

Good list, I will have to work on that.
