Made a couple of adjustments to it. Sealed the tin with "100mph" tape and placed it in a small ALICE type 1st Aid dressing/compass pouch. Small enough to fit in your jacket/shirt pocket or where it on your belt. And of course a good old "rope wrench" as well

Got a necklace of braided paracord with firesteel, whistle, button light and want to add a compass too, have a knife on my belt, water bottle, and a small pack with more cord, multitool, first aid kit and a survival blanket and maybe some museli bars and boiled sweets. Along with some warm clothes and a jacket.

This is what I take into the wilderness with me on a day long hike.
First aid kit.
Head lamp
Cammenga lensatic compass, tritium
50 ft nylon para cord.
tp
Mylar space blanket and a mylar space blanket bag.
Swiss Army knife - Hunter model
Multiple options for fire making.
Purification tabs plus a filter bottle.
Topo map(s)
Camera
Small roll of duct tape
Snacks

For summer use I add a hydration pouch. Temps can hit 100 and watering spots are far between.

I'm running out of things I really need to take and always kicking myself for taking too much. I have considerable redundancy in what I really need to spend an emergency night out.

 

[Tryptamine]

In my short hiking belt kit thing I keep:

1) Leatherman Wave
1) Magnesium Firestarter
1) Canteen and cup
3) Bullion cubes, for my famous squirrel, wintergreen & pine needle soup
1) Mylar sleeping bag
1) Poncho
1) Roll of duct tape
2) POWER BARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!
Some other essentials.


I usually carry my crossbow to.


For anything longer than a quick hike I usually just take my regular camping/survival gear.

I will throw in a 2l collapsible water bottle and some purification tabs, and if I plan on being gone for more than a few hours I bring some power bars and a powdered drink mix.

Usually I have my glock with 2 mags and at the least my single shot .22 and 100 rounds.

Nobody seems to mention a whistle as a means of signalling in a small day hike pouch

I don't have any woods to walk in.
I feel so deprived.

The Myke Hawke essential 5 are
1. knife
2. matches
3. compass
4. whistle
5 First Aid

I would add

6. water (in nalgene bottle or Army canteen)
7. food (cliff bars, cheese, crackers, tuna in those sealed foil pouches, nuts, raisins)
8. Toilet Paper (in a zip lock Freezer Bag)

All this would fit easily in a small day pack that wouldn't slow you down.
