Survival kit for travel

I have a few basic survival kits (need to buy a few good large backpacks yet), get home bag, etc...but when I travel, I do not seem to take this stuff with me. I want to get a small but decent amount of items together for air travel or when I am away from my vehicle (where my GHB is).

I am taking a hanging toiletry kit and adding items to this. Since it has zippered pouches, that helps for certain things.

I would love to have ideas on this...
I will include my (so far) list.

At first it looked more like a comfort kit than a survival kit. Some lidocaine and hypodermics to use with the sutures would make the experience more pleasant. I carry an out of service cell phone which can make calls to 911 and has a camera.

 

I am trying to get something that is not necessarily for survival, but something for emergencies on vacation...well somewhat for survival.... I cannot possibly carry all of the crap I have in on vacation! I have a camera/phone. Just making an extra bag to take, say on a plane, to another state or country... ideas on that???

 

You seem to have the basics covered, but I'd concentrate on solid survival items in case the plane go's down or you get stranded somewhere. Extra cash is good. And the 911 fone is back up. Can you be SURE your battery will last during an emergency? Mine is a tiny JAX from Virgin Mobile and have spare batteries for it which I can change out blindfolded and one handed. More extensive fire making is standard in all my kits, even the micro kit made for a friend had matches, spark device and tiny but powerful magnifying lens. Concentrated food like tablets will increase your range, along with one a day vitamins. Think of your project as mini PSK/GHB. Because that's what you need to do: Live and get home. If I can be of any help I'd be happy to do so.

 

I have extra battery supply and a solar charger for a phone. More info would be great. New here so...try to get me started on this site please! I am only a year into this but just starting on this project. Also thinking of possibly moving to Mexico someday. How the hell to figure out what to get and need there? No decent water, so that is the first obvious one.

Introduce me to how this forum works. I will go from there...thx.

 

Im new here myself so I'm still learning my way around. The people are friendly and helpful here, just ask questions, that's what I do. Took me awhile to learn how to start a thread so you're doing better than I am lol. Survival kits are a hobby and passion of mine. I even belong to an online group where we compete in making them. One thing i'd do is consider makin g your kit in a fanny pack rather than a toiletry bag. Not enough pockets to organize but will free up your hands and might draw less attention in an urban environment.

 

I like this site a lot better than the last site. Less tension and you can speak freely here. I would enjoy seeing more thread on actual survival, however.

 

You might concider a roll out bag for quick access. Something like this one?
BLACKHAWK! Emergency Medic Roll:Amazon:Sports & Outdoors

 

And I know one case where they used a power bar wrapper to signal rescue aircraft/

 

I have started a thread. Tiny survival kits.

 

All kids should have some survival training. That's why I never get into small aircraft. They crash way too often. And where I live ( I won't say where, so don't ask) there are never any survivors. I've looked into this and talked to a lot of pilots and none can remember a single crash where was a single survivor.

 

LOL. I prefer NOT to crash in the first place. I've been in a lot of aircraft, even jumped out of a few. I would never fly with anyone has even crashed once. My friend has to fly in to his place, that's why I won't go there even in a TEOWAWKI. However, that's just me and anyone who is willing to use small aircraft certainly have my blessing to do as they wish. I certainly mean no offense to you or any other pilot.

 

Very true. Sounds like we could swap adventure stories. And the best preparation is avoiding the situation in the first place. Wish I had applied that to marriage...
