Talk:Outdoor Survival/Survival Kit

I erased canned food, because of its weight and bulk. Also the tube tent..if you ever tried to spend the night in one,in the rain, you won't need to ask why...As for the surplus mess kit, they are very heavy, and hard to clean.

I concur on the cans, not so much the tent though i would go for a small bivy style one but its all just preference. A spare mess kit, if it were to consist of a spare cooking pot/mess tin which could be used as a bowl, etc then i would be very much for that however if your suggesting taking two lots of cooking gear then again i concur that it could prove burdensome

With great respect, anyone can survive 'in the wild' if they take the entire contents of their house with them... The trick is to survive with only the materials you can find around you as you travel. THAT'S the trick!
