Here is what I have, the ten "C"'s
1. 50 feet of Paracord
2. 2 40 Ouch klean kanteen. also a Jones Stephens 4-Way Valve Stem Lawn Faucet. and life straw
3. ZT folding knife, a fixed blade. and a multi-tool
4. 2-3 bic liters, and a fire striker
5. one or two bandannas and/or a shemagh
6. ~7-10 feet of duct tape
7. Olight M1X Striker Compact light, with 3 sets of CR123 batteries
8. Military Style Ripstop Nylon Poncho Size: 55 x 90
9. Compass, and maps of my local areas.
10. heavy duty sewing kit.
Extra stuff:
I have a medical kit for each vehicle. I have ETON FRX2 HAND TURBINE CRANK AM FM WEATHER RADIO.
Also, a pair of pants, long sleeve shirt, and sweater, two pairs of undergarments and two pairs of socks. and a pair of Merrell shoes. also, a pair of contacts, glasses, and medications.
Also have food, such as I have two MRE's in my vehicle, along with other package food items.
I carry most of my equipment in a Maxpedition Beefy Pocket Organizer Black. and all this in a Cannae Legion elite pack. With all my gear in my pack is weighing at 23.75 lbs. ~26lbs with water.
Why three knives? I Love knives and remember well my team leader going through my pack and taking several spares out to be left in the rear. I did not need a Kbar an EK combat knife, Gerber boot knife!bayonet and leatherman.
