Survival Kits Info

I have a page on my website that includes information on to
build a mini Personal Survival Kit (PSK). The contents are
based mostly on information from Doug Ritter's Equiped To
Survive website (reproduced with his permission). I've
modified the contents slightly for scouting's purposes. If any
of your scouts are interested in wilderness survival, I
strongly recommend Doug's site, which I found via
MeritBadge.com.

Doug has recently co-developed a survival kit with Adventure
Medical Kits for retail sale. It's not complete as there are
some items they could not include to keep costs down, such as
a Photon LED light, but it's a perfect start to build upon for
any scout or scouter.

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I have been looking
for. I've found most of my information now, and I found some
pretty cool stuff (Rite in the Rain's Waterproof Paper,
anyone?). Thanks again!
