Hello Ashley,loving the web site and as so often is the case with bushcraft learning something new. I found the comments on survival kits interesting and very much true as regards the quality of commercially available ones. Always better to make your own. As for the relevance of them if you have bushcraft skills you would probably not need one. Having said that if you were in back country and in a situation where you had lost youre basic kit those few items in a little tin might make the difference if youre trying to survive. After all thats why behind the line types in the army carry them.

Haven't been on the site for ages and this was the first thing I saw. Brilliant vid and very informative. I've been too busy lately to stop and listen to Mother Nature but I'm getting the thirst back. I like the kit you have and as a professional medic I see nothing wrong with carrying over the counter meds in a first aid kit for your own use or for family members. From a legal view point if a member of your party asks for pain relief and you have some you can offer it to them. If they choose to put it in their own mouths and swallow it then they have made that decision for themselves. It seems good sense to carry it if you ask me. Just one thing I would like to point out though, I wish I had your skill at carving. Those are some beautiful looking utensils, I'm impressed and jealous at the same time. Having looked at the firefighting vid I'm now off to soak my got ton wool. Have you tried the pine cones covered in wax? They burn really well, good old Ravevlore.

Wow that is a lot of stuff. Like your utility belt. I was just wondering what you thought of kits such as the Bear Grylls survival kit (http://www.aboveandbeyond.co.uk/Gerber+Bear+Grylls/list/f4)? Do you think they are a good idea or better to put a kit together of your own? I suppose all you need is something to store it in so there is no reason why you need to buy a set as such. Anyway was just wondering what your opinion was on it as I'm looking to put something together. Cheers in advance Ben.
