2" wide ace bandage. Great for sprains, splints and as a pressure dressing for cuts. Also, if you cut it in half lengthwise, you have two 1 inch straps for tying, lashing, etc.

Add some water to it, tape on a small blade and a tube of superglue, a spool of fishing line some weights, and a case of beer and a lazy boy (Don't forget to add a 50 inch plasma TV with all the channels,) and you're set.

You are sooo much in luck I just put one together 3 days ago feel free to modify or change anything. Step one go to Wal-mart and buy the following Items: 14.99 survival kit in a clear plastic waterproof bag, waterproof match case 1.00, Magnesium fire starter, GoReady Hand sanitizer and GoReady Bug Spray.
You can put 95% of the survival kit and other items in the Bottle I had to choose between the poncho and heat blanket, I chose the heat blanket because it is also waterproof plastic. I added a LED AA flashlight and extra battery. The rest is pretty much out of the survival kit which was pretty good. Contained a 12 hour glow stick, to bars fire starter, a basic first aid kit fishing kit, mirror, cotton line, safety pins and all kinds of other stuff, a compass, surveying tape.you can go a few other directions the bottle has about 4OZ left in it where you can put some water purification tabs, Beef/chicken bullion cubes, gatoraid pack or whatever. I started to build my own but you'll spend a lot more and not have as good a kit.

Anyway hope this helps.

Not bad.

I would put some asprin because if you are lost. your heart will pump faster, and if you are like me and don't exercise you could have a heart attack.

Don't forget the snakebite kit. Mine is 90 proof.

And you can just clip it to your pack without taking up space within your gear.

Definitely a compass and a map of the area. This is a necessity even if you have a GPS. I always carry two ways to make light; i.e., mini-mag flashlight and either LED keyring flashlight or cat eyes, and three ways to make fire; usually a Zippo, a throw-away butane lighter, and some matches. There is no survival situation that is not dramatically improved by having, heat, light, or both.

And a compass little light so you can see in the dark. Throw a small knife in there too.

Don't forget the TV remote, you don't wanna need to get up to change the channel.

just dont lose your water bottle and u should be good

It is amazing how much hydration our bodies need during our outdoor activities. Basing your survival gear around a water bottle is a wise move. Make sure your kit includes a means to purify more water to refill. Also include at least two methods of producing fire and some type of tinder. I swear by petroleum jelly covered cotton balls. Finally, make room for one of those little mylar emergency space blankets to reflect the fire heat to your backside or even collect rain water.

Alex and bnorth :p

You may need to add one of those beer hat-straw deals too.

Lol, yea, and a bar...
