Urban Survival Kit...philosophy

[Prepper1]

Remember our ancestors lived with NO shop bought kit.

Look at your kit and I mean REALLY look and see what you really need.

Kits good if you have it but like B.P. says knowledge is the real survival kit.

Think on about your reliance on kit as well, its fab when you have it but what about when you don't or you've lost it what then?

You need fire as it has many uses, so you need the ability to light a fire, maybe waterproof matches plus a fire steel plus cotton wool for tinder.

You need shelter because if you assume it'll be sunny and warm that's when it'll snow... so maybe a tarp or poncho plus the knowledge to build a better shelter tomorrow.

The ability to catch food, so snares AND the knowledge to set them because they're useless without that.
Maybe fishing hooks, line and weights, you can improvise a rod if you like rod fishing and or a multiple hook setup tied to a tree for overnight say.
