RE: Survival packs
:You sound like my kind of packer with the gadget count, but i'd say a little heavy. Do you really need 2 saws and 3 ways to start a fire? They make some really inexpensive water filtration systems now to if you'll be around water and want to cut weight. I guess it all depends on what you want to be prepared for. I take enough to survive a night and then find my way out. Oh, and what about food?
