The "micro" light is just a super small LED flash light that they sell at LL bean. I got it as a freebee for attending a class, but I'm sure that they sell them also. There are two retention straps on the interior main compartment of this bag and I used split rings to attach both the laminated kit list as well as the micro pack light to them. that way I don't have to go fishing around in my pack for a flashlight.I like the angled flash lights because as you hold them you're already making a fist so, should the need arise, you can throw a quick jab without having to drop the light. It might even add a little umph to your punch, kind of like a fist full of quarters. Also, with the clip I can attach it to my belt or the molly straps on my pack for hands free directional lighting....

Hey mate, is that a Harbor Freight Special? I've never found one of those hollow handled knives that works as well as it's full tang counterpart. If you're really looking to have a little stash spot check out this Ible: https://www.instructables.com/id/Bottle-Cap-Surviv...I made one and now it houses my water purification tabs.I've never been apt to carry a knife in public, Probably the result of having been born and raised a Connecticut Yankee. That being said, It does help to be a larger man of a darker complexion, lol. Always play the cards you're delt.
Thanks for the kind words mate. Every time I think I've got the kit where I want it I learn something new or find some little tweak here or there, that I'm surprised I hadn't thought of.
View Instructable »Thanks for the thought. I've considered picking up a Grand Trunks or Eno just to have it. If this kit were only for me then I probably would opt for a Hammock. But I haven't seen something that would comfortably hold two. Then there's the prospect of my father. If he were with us, with his hips (two complete replacements) he'd never be able to get into the darn thing! lol.

You don't need to be a "prepper," to be prepared. I'm glad I could inspire you. Just remember it doesn't have to be as intense as mine. I'm a little nuts after all! Anything, is always better then nothing.
I actually already have an axe: https://www.instructables.com/id/AxHatchet-Restor... We honestly don't know what's wrong with her. She was originally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia; But we've already tried every treatment available no avail. I even wen't so far as to write and angry letter to Science about it. If I can find it I'll either post it here or shoot you a link. Thanks for your kind words and concern!
Thanks! That means a lot. I did work really hard on it. I've been trying to recommit myself to writing a little bit everyday; We'll see what comes of it. Don't forget to post an "I made it," when you're finished putting you kit together. I'd love to see what you came up with.

Hey mate, glad you read it through. Quite a feat! I hear what your saying about a fixed blade, I do. But in all honesty, I've never found a good use for one. Even kitchen knives can be replaced with a sharp propper folder. Though for the sake of civility I do still use my 7" chef's knife for Thanksgiving dinner, lol. Plus the laws local to my area limit the length to 4&1/2". I can't be seen on the streets here looking, the propper "Rambo." Cheers mate. Check out some of my older ibles too. Might get a kick out of them.

Hey mate, thanks for the ible. Could have used a bit clearer instruction on having to alternate right and left. But once i got the hang of it was pretty easy. Thanks again!

I'm glad you're getting a kick out of it. I know, I can be rather long winded, but in the interest of being thorough... Any questions feel free to ask. Cheers mate!

And it was! Super excited! What's even more amazing to me is that 200 some odd people viewed my hurricane and topical storm preparedness ible before all the hurricanes hit. Makes me grateful for this venue. I can only hope and pray that the information shared here might be of benefit to soneone else when they need it. Cheers mate

Thanks mate. Been in the works for a while. Started, stopped, started again. Maybe why it's a little disjointed. Still pretty excited to get it out there. Hoping for a feature. But we'll see. Thanks for the support. Hope you got something out of it.
