I will update my list here when time permits to show items that "I believe should be included in a kit". This is not a be all or end all list and is adaptable to any individuals personal needs or requirements.
In most instances there should really be 2 types of kits made up. Sometimes more depending on numbers i.e Family Kits
The 1st being a small kit comprising of your basic items and that is small and portable enough that can either be carried in your pocket, in a puch on your belt or within the glove box of your vehicle.
The second being a more comprehensive kit that is housed in a sturdy, easy to carry bag, preferably a backpack or similar over the shoulder type bag. Duffel or computer / satchell type bags are not suitable due to lack even weight distribution on the body "IF YOU HAVE TO MOVE IN A LAST RESORT!"
When you make up a kit, you need to bear in mind the 4 basic principles for Survival;
1: Shelter
2: Warmth
3: Water
4: Food
*Time to knock off and will update when i get a chance*
